Today we're headed into Brazil where the Trump of the tropics is set to win. And as Bolsonaro's lead grows, the media in Brazil is already going crazy about the future of their democracy. We'll check in with a new voice in Brazil and find out if Bolsonaro is going to bring the change the people want. Then we're headed into Israel to speak with Margot about the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. Find out what she thinks the problem is. Finally, we're headed to the Middle East where even more details about Khashoggi have emerged. We speak to our voice in Iran and find out why he thinks the Saudis screwed themselves.
This week we learned the Saudi side of the story. Well, maybe not their side, more like their new story. Yes, they said Khashoggi got into a fight in the consulate and was accidentally killed and chopped up. In light of these new developments we'll check in with our Egyptian voice Kareem and get his take on the Saudi tale. Then we're Russia bound where President Trump announced he was considering leaving a 1987 nuclear treaty with the Russians. How does this play into the Trump/Russia collusion script? What is the main goal? We speak to our resident missile defense expert Riki Ellison and attempt to decode what the endgame is. And finally, we're headed to Honduras where this week a massive group of people started a trek through Central America and Mexico toward the US. We head into Honduras to speak to our voice on the ground and find out why this trek is taking place.
A major controversy is taking place between the US and Saudi Arabian governments after Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi embassy in Turkey but didn't leave. The missing journalist has become a point of contention between the Trump White House, the EU and the Saudi government and royal family. Why would the Saudis want Khashoggi dead? What should the US' response be? We're going to Turkey, Egypt and around the world to get reactions to the developing story and find out what they think should be done.
Then, on the Change Is Hard segment we take a look at former Attorney General Eric Holder's take on the now infamous Michelle Obama quote: "When they go low we go high." We'll also check in with CIH all-star Don Lemon's coverage of Kanye at the White House and see if his panelists' comments are more outlandish than current champ Philip Mudd.
Did you know there is an Election in Brazil? The front runner Jair Bolsonaro appears to be about as Trump-like as one can get, he even promised to make Brazil great again. We'll head into Brazil in our Global Media Spotlight and see what effect Bolsonaro is having on the media and why he's poised to win by so much. Then we're diving into NAFTA head first. Trump signed a sort-of new trade deal with Canada and Mexico this week. News of the signing was pushed to the back burner in favor of more titillating news entertainment this week, so we'll get you up to speed. We head into both Canada and Mexico and find out what, if anything, has changed. Finally, in our Change Is Hard segment we revisit a letter from a CNN executive that stated on-air staff isn't to use saucy language. Can you guess which one of our favorites flouted the rules this week?
