Student climate strikes
Students around the world are planning to strike on 20th September in protest of the lack of action taken by world leaders to address climate change; the Trades Union Congress and Amnesty International have spoken of their support and are encouraging workers to stop working for a time in the day to mark their protest
The fight against malaria
Experts are suggesting that it may be possible to rid the world of the mosquito-bourns disease malaria by 2050; it would be an ambitious task and cost a lot of money (around $6 bn), but it would mean that half a million people (mainly children) each year who die from malaria will now live healthier and malaria-free lives
Many still missing after Hurricane Dorian
Around 2,500 people have been registered as missing after Hurricane Dorian swept through the Bahamas last week; 50 people are known to have died, but many more are feared dead or may possibly still be hiding in shelters in remote parts of the island complex
