About This Episode
A second wave explosion went off in Lebanon on Wednesday, just one day after Hezbollah pagers exploded across the country and injured thousands. Though Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack, the Israeli defense minister said a ‘new phase’ of war has begun as Israeli troops move to the north. Then, with far-right parties in control of seven different European governments, can the European Union survive another far right resurgence? Plus, what to expect in Ukraine's peace plan. Stefanie Bolzen, Stefan Kornelius and Andrew Roth join World Review with Ivo Daalder to dive into these issues.
