It's been one year since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel that stunned the world. It forever changed the course of both large-scale global events and individual life stories. We'll step back and look at the impact of Oct. 7, 2023 — from the fate of the 100 Israeli hostages still unaccounted for, to the transformation of life in Gaza over the last 12 months. Also, during Argentina’s dictatorship, in the late 1970s, state terror led to the killing and disappearance of roughly 30,000. But since then, there's been an effort to hold those responsible to account, and memorials acknowledging the crimes of the past serve as constant reminders throughout the country. But Argentina’s new libertarian President Javier Milei is now closing government investigations into the crimes of the past and looking to roll back lawsuits that achieved justice for the victims of the dictators. And, housing prices are on the rise in Russia, and in big cities like Moscow, it's creating financial strain for people struggling to pay their bills. But the Russian government has taken aggressive action by creating subsidized programs to get more Russians into new homes. Just one catch: they have to be willing to move to the wilderness. We'll hear what it's like to do just that.
