As Whitson puts it, “if you can pay, then you can play.” This approach extends to the new ... continua

Passionate ocean-lover Jérôme Delafosse has launched The Shark Project, a plea to reconcile humankind with the scary shark. Every hour 10,000 sharks are fished worldwide. Yet this mythical predator plays a key role in regulating marine life. Now more than ever sharks are threatened with extinction, especially in the waters of the developed world.

Cutting-edge technology. Sleek, ultra-modern buildings. The capital's second hub is on a fast track to the future. In the run up to the 2024 Olympics, and with the prospect of 33 million visitors in 2020 alone, Orly has its work cut out for it. Less than 12 kms from Paris, and with strict flight curfews, the challenges to transform the airport-from rebuilding its two runways to linking the airport to Paris by metro-are as great as its dramatic renovation plans. Prepare for takeoff.

Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, joins us as President Trump’s defiance of the courts is pushing the United States toward a constitutional crisis, with multiple judges weighing whether to open contempt proceedings against his administration for ignoring court orders.
