Happy New Year everyone!
We missed you last week and we have a lot of catching up to do. The US dealt with ISIS threats during the holiday season celebrations, a Turkish policeman assassinated a Russian ambassador and Obama did everything he could to leave a geopolitical mess for the incoming administration.
On today's show we speak to our Turkish voice Oguz about the catastrophic attacks in Istanbul last night during a New Year's celebration. We'll learn how the Turkish government is handling its media in the wake of the terrorist attack.
Then we will discuss Obama and Kerry's Israel snub at the United Nations this week. What does this mean for our only ally in the region? Margot checks in and gives us an Israeli perspective on the UN decision to force an evacuation of settlements in the West Bank.
