In economic history and present day frustrations. Its part of a long running battle between titans of industry and those on factory floors. For the next half hour were going to look at whats happening at these three plants, owned by the big three General Motors, ford and stellantis and what it means for American Workers and the economy. The union at the centre of the dispute the uaw represesnts146,000 auto workers, who could all walk out over time. Currently 13,000 are on strike. This strike is of course just one of many industrial actions that weve seen in the us this year, and further afield. Heres a tiny snapshot ofjust some of them.

This grainy Security Camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. Two dams, meant to protect the city, were broken apart by the force of the water. The deluge carried everything away with it. This wave of death and destruction sealed the fate of thousands. And glimpses of the horror are still emerging. Here in derna, people began to pray for gods mercy. When the torrent passed, some were able to escape. As the rain continued to fall, they headed to the rooftops, with few understanding the scale of the unfolding catastrophe. Down below, the force of the water swept away everything in its wake. Those who could sought safety on higher ground. It is things like this that really show you the explosive power of the water th
