This week, Russia and China sent a nuclear-capable bomber into South Korean airspace over the Dokdo Islands, prompting the South Koreans to scramble jets. The South Koreans fired warning shots at the Russian plane before it headed back to international airspace. Are the Russians and Chinese backing the North Koreans in the negotiations with the US and South Korea? We'll get answers from our resident missile defense expert, Riki Ellison. Then we're headed to the UK where Boris Johnson is the new prime minister. He pledges to get a Brexit deal within the next few weeks, but is that even possible? We check in with Mark in Europe and find out if Boris can finish what Theresa May couldn't. Finally, on Change Is Hard we have a new contender for news anchor of the year: Victor Blackwell. Blackwell goes full Hollywood, driving himself to tears in the middle of a newscast. We're not kidding.

This week on Voice To America, we head back to the Gulf of Hormuz where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has captured a British oil tanker. The British stopped an Iranian tanker bound for Syria a few weeks ago and this looks like payback. We speak to Mark in Europe about the latest escalation of tensions in the Gulf. Then, Iran sent their foreign minister to the US for a meeting at the UN but now he's ready to deal with the US. We speak to our Iranian voice and find out what the Iranians want. Finally, on Change Is Hard, we take an in-depth look at "The Squad". No, we're not interested in the members, we'll analyze the rationale behind their new nickname.

We'll speak to Jorge in Mexico and find out if the much-touted ICE raids are anything out of the ordinary. Then we're off to Turkey where Erdogan has started to cozy up with Putin The Powerful. Why would a NATO ally join forces with Russia? We'll speak to our Turkish voice Oguz and find out why Erdogan is buying arms from the Russians. Finally, on Change is Hard, those pesky Russian bots are at it again but this time they're targeting Kamala Harris... according to Kamala Harris.
