Episode description

The beleaguered country of Haiti now stands on the verge of complete collapse. In September, armed gangs seized a critical fuel terminal -- placing a stranglehold on food, water and power. Hospitals are shutting down. Millions of Haitians face food deprivation. Earlier this month, Haiti's transitional leader, Ariel Henry, requested an armed intervention by international forces, to restore peace and some security. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the UN is preparing a resolution in support of an assistance mission. But so far, no country has stepped up to lead. Why is that? Sara is joined by Haiti's Ambassador to the US, Bocchit Edmond. 

Also on today's show: Dr. Manfret McGhee, father of St. Louis high school shooting victim; Kimberly Mutcherson, Co-Dean, Rutgers University Law School; Nobel prize-winning author Mario Vargas Llosa.
