Welcome to week two from the new studio. This week, we're headed back to the AfPak region where a peace deal between the US and the Taliban slowly moves forward. The 7-day truce has already taken effect so negotiations can take place. Who will come out on top after the negotiations are over? Let's not forget that this week, the New York Times published a glowing op-ed this week from the #2 Taliban operative.
Then, thousands of Italians as quarantined to stop the spread of Coronavirus as it reaches the Mediterranean. Towns near Milan and Venice have been sealed off from the outside world. We'll speak to an Italian voice and find out first-hand what the quarantine order is doing to the morale of Italians.
Finally, on Change Is Hard: CNN goes full BS, Mike Bloomberg is paying money for social media clout and the citizen formerly known as the Prince Of Woke comes to the Jenner neighborhood.
The U.S. & Afghan government claim a peace deal with the Taliban is close. Rashed from Peshawar says the Taliban are silent for a reason: they have the leverage and will dictate terms. Kamran from Iran tells us why the black box from the Ukrainian Air jet is being used as bargaining chip against Trump.
This week, a claimed Taliban attack in Afghanistan leaves two American soldiers dead and six injured. We head into the AfPak region and find out if this will be the last inside attack. Then, we're off to China where the Chinese government is now claiming that fear of the Coronavirus is racist. We head across the globe in our Global Media Spotlight and hear why it's racist to fear the deadly virus. Finally, on Change is Hard, Oprah heads to the Today Show for a tear-filled performance about her friend Gayle King.
President Trump attempts to halt the spread of Coronavirus by instituting a travel ban, will other countries do the same? China also institutes protective measures but it may be too little, too late. Tune in for a VTA special report. Then, Brexit finally happens. We head into Europe to get reactions to the beginning of the end for Britain's spot in the EU. And on Change Is Hard, we flip flop with the corporate media over impeachment. Was the Senate vote really the end of truth and journalism?
