Jumping on the Trump Train


Dear readers,

After more than a century of ironclad Democratic control, Starr County in Texas has voted for a Republican president for the first time due to economic discontent and the immigration crisis. We visited the county and talked to local leaders to find out why they feel that Donald Trump best represents their interests.

As Spain continues to grapple with the fallout of the flash floods that killed over 200 people two weeks ago, we focused on one street in Catarroja, Valencia, whose story encapsulates all the problems faced by thousands of people as they struggle with grief, cleanup, and rebuilding efforts.

Our correspondents also traveled to Akkar, a poor and forgotten region of Lebanon that is the breeding ground for the only popular institution of the nearly absent government: the Lebanese Armed Forces. And they were in Naples, where the death of a 19-year-old at the hands of another youth highlights the worsening problem of armed teenage gangs.

We also took a private tour of Pompeii to uncover some of its darkest secrets, and explored what science reveals about our natural tendency to corruption.
