Summary

Washington is watching fast-moving developments on two fronts, in Ukraine and in North Korea. Kim Jong Un fired two shortrange missiles into North Korea’s eastern waters, just two days after sending a missile over Japan. It amounts to 24 missile tests so far this year, the highest number since Kim came to power 10 years ago. Meantime in Ukraine, officials there say a number of Russian missiles have struck the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, some leveling large parts of residential buildings. This while President Zelensky says his forces continue to make important gains both in the east and in the south. To dig into all this, Christiane speaks with US National Security Spokesperson John Kirby. Also on today's show: John Ridley, writer, director and executive producer of Five Days At Memorial, a new documentary about Hurricane Katrina; actor Wendell Pierce.
