An on-the-ground look at Cuba's ongoing crisis

The World’s reporter on the ground in Havana takes a look at what life feels like in Cuba right now, from long blackouts and economic hardship to changes in the private sector and growing tensions with the United States. Also, women across India are pushing for the ability to just hang out safely in public. And, how mangroves were destroyed while protecting Jamaica from Hurricane Melissa. Plus, Liberian American singer-songwriter Mon Rovia focuses on his journey to finding empathy from grief, and making peace with the fact that he escaped Liberia's civil war as a child, while much of his family remained behind.
