This week on Voice To America Tony is away on a global excursion and Jim Sharpe is hosting. We'll head into Mexico where the migrant caravan has been halted in the border town of Tijuana. We speak to Jorge in Mexico about the rumors that the Mexican government may absorb the influx of people.
Then we're off to France where protests over the implementation of new fuel taxes to fight climate change have gone wrong. We spoke to Mark in Europe about why these protests started in the first place and what Macron plans to do to save the country and his own hide.
And finally, it's Brexit time. Theresa May is taking a beating from both sides of the isle. We check in on the future of the referendum in our Global Media Spotlight.

The CIA leaked a report about Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder at the hands of the Saudi government. The report says he was murdered at the behest of Prince Mohammad bin Salmon. Trump says he'll have a report in the next 24 to 48 hours. Is this the end of the line for MbS or is there something he can do to redeem himself? We'll speak to our voices in Egypt and Israel. Then we're off to the UK where Brexit may cost the prime minister her job. This week Theresa May said, "If you oust me, you may get no Brexit at all." Would ousting May end the referendum? We'll head into Britain for our global media spotlight and hear from May herself. On this week's Change is Hard, global governments are cracking down on the tech giants once again. This time Zuckerberg says he's creating an independent body to monitor the platform to protect users from offensive speech. Is it too late for Facebook to police itself and get the world off its back?

This week, our favorite White House correspondent Jim Acosta lost his credentials. You probably saw the hours of "analysis" by American popular media outlets, but we'll be heading overseas during the global media spotlight. Then we're going into Turkey to speak with Oguz about the sharing of the Khashoggi tapes. According to Turkey, the US and European governments have received a copy of the assassination audio, but is it enough for the US to take action against the Saudis? Will the audio change anything? Finally, world leaders meet in Europe to commemorate the end of World War I. Like most of the press coverage, it's not about the event, it's about Donald Trump. We'll take a good look at how foreign media are covering the president's visit instead of the memorial.

Angela Merkel steps away from the driver's seat. That's right, the woman the popular media dubbed "the new leader of the free world" is calling it quits. Does this mean the anti-establishment wave has finally hit Germany? We'll check in with Mark in Europe and find out what her departure means for the future of European politics. Then we're headed to Iran where President Trump's sanctions are set to take effect tomorrow. We'll check in with our voice in the region and find out what the president and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hope to achieve by shredding the JCPOA. And finally, in our super ultra loaded mega grand-slam over-the-top high-flying Change Is Hard, we look at Oprah's stumping, Allyson Camerota's journalisming and Don Lemon's lemoning. You won't want to miss this one.
