Latest on Hurricane Dorian's damage in the Bahamas

Newsday

Available for over a year

The head of the US agency for international development has compared the damage from Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas to that of a nuclear bomb. We speak to Jonathan Petramala, a reporter who has flown over the islands and been on the ground in Grand Bahama to witness the devastation. The Philippines Commission on Human Rights launches a public inquiry into claims that the government has been killing people without any trial or due process. And we speak to the author of a children's book about his real-life story of running from one side of America to the other.
