FRIDAY, MAY 31
PROGRAM # 8619 12:00 PM PT
Mexico Edition.
Mexico City declared an environmental emergency as smoke from more than 100 wildfires raised air pollution to unsafe levels. The wildfires are fueled by hot weather and rising temperatures linked to climate change. An eminent scientist and environmentalist discusses Mexico’s new environmental and health policies to address these and future disasters. On other news, civic groups in the US are pushing for Mexico to extend its affirmative action to Mexican émigrés in the US, including the right to be elected to the Mexican Congress. Civic leaders also comment on Trump’s decision to hit Mexico with new imports tariffs unless Mexico steps up its efforts to stop undocumented migrants. These and other stories are discussed in this weekly edition.
