Troops are being deployed, harsh words have been said, and there is potential for all-out war. Tensions between Russia, Ukraine and the West keep escalating, and so do concerns. But amidst the war of words and shallow media analysis, something is getting lost: context. What is this tension really about? Is there more than meets the eye in this crisis, and can it be solved? This is a story about war, loss, betrayal and, at the heart of it, the biggest military alliance in the world. #Russia #Ukraine #Putin Subscribe for more videos: https://ajplus.co/subscribe Sign up for subtext, our newsletter about the people and movements driving change in our society: https://ajplus.co/ekdv4 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajplus/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajplus Subscribe for more videos: https://ajplus.co/subscribe Sign up for subtext, our newsletter about the people and movements driving change in our society: https://ajplus.co/ekdv4 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajplus/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajplus

The climate crisis is worsening floods around the world – but there’s another reason we see so much damage from these disasters. In many places, infrastructure was built with no regard for increasing rainfalls or warmer temperatures. The good news is that building resilient infrastructure is actually cheaper than recovering from damage after a disaster. We spoke to the Sunrise Movement’s John Paul Mejia and geography professor Jola Ajibade about what it will take to ensure that communities facing increasing floods don’t just survive, but thrive. #COP26 #infrastructure #climate 00:00 Introduction 00:50 The climate science behind more frequent flooding 01:34 How U.S. infrastructure isn’t ready for global heating 03:30 Nature-based infrastructure 03:55 Social infrastructure 04:18 Capitalism’s role 05:20 Can we stop cities from drowning? 05:39 Building climate resilience is cheaper 06:23 Flexible and sustainable adaptation 07:44 Inequity in extreme weather impacts 08:24 What is an equitable and climate-resilient policy?

In the U.S., 58% of all women living in poverty are women of color. It’s why author Rafia Zakaria, who lived in a shelter in the U.S. as a single mother, believes “putting the fangs back in feminism is a very urgent project.” In her new book “Against White Feminism,” she urges for transformative change. From the so-called war on terror to “girl boss”: Is feminism for all? #Feminism #GenderEquality #WhiteFeminism Subscribe for more videos: https://ajplus.co/subscribe Sign up for subtext, our newsletter about the people and movements driving change in our society: https://ajplus.co/ekdv4 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajplus/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajplus

The U.S. has never apologized for dropping two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 that instantly killed almost 250,000 people. Survivors of the bombings have suffered radiation-caused health consequences. Was the bombing a war crime, or was it necessary to end the war? That debate hasn’t been settled yet. We take a look at how has the U.S. come to terms with nuclear weapons 75 years after dropping the first atomic bomb. We speak to atomic bomb survivor Wataru Namba and Asian studies professor Norma Field on the history and the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. #Hiroshima #nuclearweapons #Nagasaki Sign-up for our newsletter: https://ajplus.co/ekdv4 Subscribe for more videos: https://ajplus.co/subscribe Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajplus/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajplus
