Why Russia Is Stealing Ukraine’s Future

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted by Russian forces. On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant to arrest President Vladimir Putin for crimes against humanity. In the weeks before the ICC's action, officials within the State Department were pressuring the U.S. to support the court’s efforts to hold the Kremlin accountable, but the Pentagon blocked the Biden administration’s coordination with the ICC. To understand why, host Ray Suarez speaks with Beth Van Schaack, ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice at the State Department. Then post-Soviet expert Nicholas Eberstadt explains why Putin’s war crimes are being fueled by a historic population collapse in Russia. see more

Much of the research that links vaccines to autism and other developmental disorders has been discredited. But concerns still linger in the minds of some parents who have chosen to delay or avoid vaccinating their children against deadly diseases like measles and whooping cough. In his new book, "The Panic Virus: A True Story of Science, Medicine and Fear," author Seth Mnookin investigates the origins of the controversy over autism and vaccines, and the impacts it has had on public health.

Guests:

Seth Mnookin, author of "The Panic Virus: A True Story of Medicine, Science and Fear," writer for Vanity Fair Magazine, and former columnist for Newsweek
