Refugees on Nauru

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

What is life like for refugees detained by Australia in the Pacific island nation? They are some of the people at the centre of a refugee resettlement deal between Australia and the United States. President Trump has now cast doubt on the deal after a reportedly abrupt phone call with the Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. We speak to people whose job it is to kill animals. The law in Taiwan is about to change so that vets can no longer kill animals that are abandoned. It became a big discussion after a vet took her own life there last year. Also, we reflect conversations about anti-government protests in Romania and about the pregnancy picture posted by Beyoncé. Why has it become the most popular picture ever on Instagram?
