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