Show Notes
After more than two years held hostage by Hamas, and almost a year since his release, Evyatar David speaks to Bianna in his first international interview about his horrific ordeal and overcoming the trauma his still lives with today. He also shares how he and his fellow former hostages are finding hope and joy as they fight to rebuild their lives. Then, the Trump administration's secretive deportation deals involving more than 30 countries and worth millions of dollars; CNN's Isobel Yeung travels to the Central African Republic to speak to U.S. migrants sent to there despite having no ties to the nation. And as tributes continue to pour in for the late and great Dolly Parton, folk singer Judy Collins reflects on her friendship with the beloved country music icon and what it was like to collaborate with her musically. Plus from the archives, Christiane's confrontation with the so-called 'Butcher of Bosnia'. As the notorious Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladić dies behind bars we look back at how he oversaw the massacre of thousands of Muslim men and boys in the 1990s during the Balkans wars.
