You're going to be. From New York, this is Democracy Now.

I suddenly felt a burn in my back and then when I tried to move I couldn't.

What happened?

I just remember hearing the sound of an explosion.

No one's claimed responsibility for Wednesdays twin blasts in Iran that killed at least 84

people and came after senior Hamas leader and Iran ally Salah al-Aruri was killed in

Beirut a day before and it strike Lebanese officials blame on Israel.

We'll speak with Iranian historian Arashazizizizi.

Then as Ukraine and Russia exchanged nearly 500 prisoners in the largest

prisoner swap of the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin is

reportedly signaling behind the scenes he's opened to a ceasefire. We'll go to Moscow to speak with new school

professor Nina Khrushchev who says the West must face reality in Ukraine.

And we'll be joined by civil rights leader Bishop William Barber.

He's calling for more awareness and justice for disabled people after he was kicked out of a

Greenville North Carolina movie theater on Christmas when he went to see the color purple with his 90-year-old

mother.

But our plans were interrupted when the managers of the AMC theater here in Greenville chose to call the

police rather than accommodate my visible disability.

All that and more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now.

The War and Peace Report.

I'm Amy Goodman.
