If you were expecting anything different than wall-to-wall Kavanaugh coverage you're out of luck. This week, it seems as though the journalism world stood still during the Senate hearings. We head all over the globe to get reactions from our voices and in our global media spotlight. In case anyone forgot, Trump did speak at the UN this week and he focused a lot of energy on Iran and Iran responded in kind. We head into Iran and get their reaction to the President Trump's statements and find out what if any changes will be made to current US-Iran relations. Finally on Change Is Hard, why are the Kavanaugh hearings global headline news? We also check out the latest cringe-worthy moment from our favorite reality journalist, Jim Acosta.

It's one of our favorite times of the year, the UN General Assembly is meeting this week. Voice To America will cover two of the more important issues the UN will be dealing with: The future of the Iran nuclear deal and a possible denuclearized North Korea. After a meeting between North and South Korea last week, is the kid dictator ready to announce the end of his nuclear program? We'll speak to our missile defense expert Riki Ellison about the possibility of a major announcement. Then we're off to Iran where a terror attack during a military parade has left 25 people dead. ISIS and Arab separatist groups have claimed responsibility but President Rouhani says America is the reason. We check in with our Iranian voice and see what he thinks Rouhani's next move will be. Finally, during Change Is Hard, we'll hear from an expert on the Kavanaugh allegations, a Hawaiian senator and a CNN executive. You won't want to miss this one!

We're off to Iran where the Trump administration may be working on a new deal. You read that right. We speak to our voice in Iran and find out what he thinks the US and Iran are working on behind the scenes. Then we're going into Syria where Bashar Al Assad is prepared to claim victory. Demonstrators take to the streets of Idlib in northwest Syria as the final battle looms. How involved will the US and other countries in the region be? We head into Syria and find out from our voice on the ground what Al Assad's plan is. Finally, on Change Is Hard, our old friend Joe Scarborough writes a piece in the Washington Post claiming that Donald Trump is worse than 9/11. If that wasn't bad enough, he doubled down on his show. Does Joe really think Trump is worse than 9/11?

It's election day in Sweden and Trump style politics is expected to be the big winner. Is the rest of Europe following Brexit? We'll head into Sweden and find out which parties will make headway and potentially change the political landscape of the country. Then we're headed back across the pond where Donald Trump is seeking out Iranian president Rouhani to negotiate a denationalization. After avoiding the White House's invitations for months, Rouhani has expressed a willingness to sit down with the president. We speak to our voice Kamran in Iran and find out what has driven the Iranian president to change his mind. Finally, on Change is Hard, it's game, set, social justice. Serena Williams loses her match after being accused of cheating, arguing with the referee and smashing her racket. She claims her penalties are the result of sexism. Is this an instance of #TimesUp or an intimidation strategy that backfired?

This week we're doing something a little different. Instead of getting the foreign angle of a story the popular media is covering, we're covering a story that has gone ignored in America. On Friday, two American tourists were stabbed in a train station in Amsterdam. The man who stabbed them was an Afghani immigrant and the stabbings were determined to be terror related. Where is Trump? Not even one tweet. We speak to Mark in Europe and find out what happened and why he thinks this story is being under-reported. Then, it's a deal! That's right, President Trump cut a new deal with Mexico this week and now it's Canada's turn. We head north and find out from our Canadian voice if Trump and Trudeau can play nice. Finally, on Change Is Hard, Tony gets introduced to some social justice millennial slang as we discuss the latest no-boys-allowed festival in Sweden. Then CIH aims for the moon, but this time we're doing it for Chinese audiences.
