Tonight on PBS News Weekend, how narrow margins in Congress and deep polarization

nationwide could make governing difficult in the next Trump administration.

Then, why American evangelical Christians are such staunch supporters of Israel.

There's an anticipation that the second coming of Jesus has something to do with the

And one refugee's desperate journey from his home in war-torn Cameroon to a new life in Wisconsin.

Good evening. I'm William Brangham. John Yang is away. Russia launched one of its biggest

attacks to date on Ukraine today, target a country's power grid with over 200 missiles and drones.

This comes as a senior U.S. official confirmed to PBS news that the U.S. will, for the first

center of Beirut, an area where many Lebanese had fled to, believing that it would be safer.

Separately, Israel kept up its bombardment of Gaza as it continues

its assault on Hamas. More than 40 people were killed in strikes in both north and central

Gaza, including one that hit a refugee camp. People go to fetch a loaf of bread from there

because they've been displaced, leaving behind their flour and all their belongings. They go there and people are dying just to get flour. Their children can't eat. They can't manage anything. Pope Francis is now calling for an investigation to determine if Israel's attacks over the last year in Gaza constitute a genocide.

That's according to excerpts released today from a new book of interviews with the Pope.
