Iran Update, Ex-South Korean President Faces Possible Death Penalty, and Uganda’s Internet Blackout

from Global Politics with Leo

In today’s global politics update, I’m covering Iran, South Korea, Uganda, Gaza, and Greenland. We start with Iran - why are the death toll estimates range from around 2,000 to 20,000? We also look at what U.S. sanctions or tariffs could mean and who Iran really trades with. Then: South Korea, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a former president. Uganda, where the government has announced an internet blackout ahead of elections. Finally, what to watch this week in Gaza and Greenland. A fact-based update on the news stories shaping the world right now. You might know me from my social media and Substack content as Leo Explains. Hosted on Acast.
