Are the Russians determined to sway the US elections or are we looking for a twenty six year-old boogie man? Amid rampant speculation by the American popular media, Voice to America will get the straight talk from an actual Russian political scientist. The Russians seem like the perfect smoke screen for the DNC amid Julian Assange's resurgence.
Then we head from the Kremlin and speak to our French voice Mark about the heightened instances of terror throughout Europe. We'll find out what is or is not being done and what the people of Europe are saying about the current methods authorities are using to thwart terror.

Welcome to the Wild West. That's what three countries think of the United States in the wake of the Dallas Massacre. The Bahamas, the UAE and Bahrain have issued warnings to citizens traveling to the US. With the police shootings, Black Lives Matter protesters, gun violence and terrorist attacks, some governments think the US is more of a war zone than a travel destination. Are these legitimate travel warnings or is the US getting a taste of her own medicine?
Obama said "Europe can count on the US," after a series of high-profile NATO meetings this week in Poland. He cited Russian aggression and the flow of immigrants as reasons for solidarity. Is the president just saying what NATO wants to hear or does he truly support plans to halt the Red Army's aggression?
You've heard of taking over the family business, but the Bin Laden family business? Looks like one of Osama's sons is old enough to start running his own terror network. Yes, you read that right, we have another Bin Laden to worry about only this time he's out to "avenge" his father's death.

Finally, we're speaking with a Bangladeshi voice about the cafe attacks where more than 20 people lost their lives last week.
Apparently we are supposed to sit back and listen to the mainstream media push a polished, packaged version of the truth: that ISIS is far from being eliminated.

The popular media dubbed Britain's "shocking" exit from the EU the "Brexit." Maybe a cute name can hide the truth: the public is fed up with the way the world is working. Meanwhile Americans are left wondering if what happened to the EU last week is just a preview of the upcoming 2016 Election?
We'll speak to a Russian voice to see what the disintegration of the European Union means to Putin The Powerful.
