Threat to major cities by rising sea levels

Newsday

Available for over a year

Scientists have warned that global sea levels could rise much higher than previously predicted by the end of the century, endangering many cities and submerging much of Bangladesh and the Nile Valley. We also hear from the Pakistani lawyer who fought for Asia Bibi - and now has another alleged blasphemer on his books - he describes the danger he's in and why he's driven to campaign for Pakistani minorities. Does the ban on Google working with Huawei anticipate a big internet divide in the future, one Chinese one American?
