Kennedy Jr. from the debate stage, the state of public opinion on the two leading candidates, Biden's weakening numbers with women voters, this season's Supreme Court rulings, the escalation of military operations between Israel and Lebanon, and Louisiana’s new law mandating that the Ten Commandments be posted in Louisiana public schools.
Editor of the English Section of Haiti Liberte Kim Ives discusses the Biden plan to send Kenyan police to fight gangs in Haiti, why US State Department officials are labeling it a “disaster,” why the operation has been delayed thus far, the state of the interim government in Haiti, and a UN report on how Haitian instability has displaced half a million people.
