About This Episode
Following misinformation about a deadly knife attack on a children's dance class, anti-immigrant riots fueled by far-right groups continue in Britain. Then, a mass uprising forced Bangladesh's’ Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country. Plus, tension and fears of a wider regional war have increased following Israel’s assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week. As Arab nations urge Iran to restrain from striking Israel, how could these developments affect a cease-fire deal? Anton La Guardia, David Luhnow, and Nahal Toosi join World Review with Ivo Daalder to examine these issues.
