Newsday

Available for over a year

President Trump tweeted that he has authorised release of oil from US strategic reserves if needed. The announcement follows Saturday's attacks on two facilities in Saudi Arabia. We speak to a helicopter pilot who’s taking part in the aid effort in the Bahamas after the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian. And we speak to a US conservationist who’s denouncing the recent decision allowing an American trophy hunter to bring back into the country the “skin, skull, teeth and claws” of a lion hunted in Tanzania.
