  • Farnaz Fassihi, United Nations bureau chief for The New York Times, breaks down the role that the United Nations is assuming in brokering a ceasefire and other permanent solutions in the war between Israel and Hamas.

  • New York City Council recently voted to approve Naloxone to be stocked in public schools. Courtney McKnight, clinical assistant professor of epidemiology at the NYU School of Global Public Health, breaks down where fentanyl is commonly found, how Naloxone is administered and what New Yorkers can do to keep themselves -- and their kids -- safe from fentanyl overdose.
