Ep 87. May 14, 2018

On May 14, 2018, Vice News Tonight season 3 episode 87 focuses on three distinct stories that highlight a range of issues from politics to environment.

The show kicks off with a report on the Ohio gubernatorial race. The incumbent Republican John Kasich is on his way out, and there are many Democrats vying to take his place. However, this report isn't about any of the Democratic candidates. It's about a new fringe candidate, Travis Irvine, who is running on the Libertarian ticket. The report explores what motivates Irvine to run, his past as a comedian, and where he stands on the issues.

The second report takes the viewer to Papua New Guinea where a trade war is brewing between the United States and China. The PNG government recently announced a deal with China to build a major port and industrial park, but the United States has reportedly been offering its own alternative in an effort to undermine China's influence in the country. Vice News Tonight goes on to explore how these trade deals could change geopolitics in the Pacific, and what the locals think about the developments.

Finally, the episode concludes with a story about the Great Barrier Reef. The reef is one of the world's natural wonders, and is home to some of the world's most unique marine life. However, it's also in grave danger due to the effects of climate change. The report delves into the challenges and efforts surrounding coral conservation in the face of global warming and pollution.

Overall, Vice News Tonight season 3 episode 87 offers a range of topics and perspectives on the world, from domestic politics to international relations, to environmentalism. The episode showcases the show's dedication to staying informed and getting behind the headlines to bring its audience informative and engaging stories.
