On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet series, we discuss Trump’s so-called "minerals deal" with Ukraine, which grants the US priority access to Ukrainian minerals and sets up an investment fund for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
Then, we look at a new study, published in the journal Science, showing that three out of every four of the 500 North American bird species are in decline, with two-thirds of the total shrinking significantly.
