Summary

The Wall Street Journal's front page is blank today, a huge void with a simple headline: "His Story Should Be Here." It marks one year since journalist Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia on espionage charges. Gershkovich’s parents campaign tirelessly for his release, and so do his colleagues and friends. Two of those friends, Polina Ivanova and Pjort Sauer, join the program live from Berlin to reflect on Evan, the year he missed out on, and their tireless campaign for his release.  Also on today's show: David Frum, Staff Writer, The Atlantic; Rafael Grossi, Director General, International Atomic Energy Agency  Learn more about your ad choices.
