ICYMI – From disastrous weather in Germany, to protests in Cuba
From catastrophic flooding in Germany to thousands protesting in streets across Cuba, our top stories from last week were rocked by striking scenes of both global events.
With extreme weather conditions across Europe, Reuters lead the way with coverage in Germany, where heavy rain and once-in-a-generation floods caused the collapse of houses and streets inundated by floodwaters. With a death toll currently at 170, rescue workers are continuing to search for survivors.
Reuters were also first to report anti-government protests in Cuba, as thousands took to the streets from Havana to Santiago on Sunday. Protesters are speaking out against the communist-run government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, curbs on civil liberties and a deep economic crisis.
