Condemning the Capitol Hill riot, President George W. Bush and Sen Marco Rubio likened it to political upheavals in “Banana Republics” and the “third world.” Lucia Dammert, a Wilson Center Global Fellow and professor at University of Santiago of Chile objects to the comparison to the Global South, adding that the U.S. has played a key role in sparking the turbulence, especially in Latin America.

As many countries began their COVID-19 vaccination rollouts last month, one country quickly charged ahead of the pack: Israel. The Middle Eastern nation is now the world's top vaccinator per capita, already inoculating more than 1.5 million people, or nearly 20 percent of its total population. But as it faces a growing number of COVID-19 cases, can the country keep up its lead?

The January 6 attack on The U.S. Capitol was the staggering culmination of years of political division and misinformation. Now, as debate rages over if President Trump should be held accountable for inciting the riot, President-elect Biden prepares to take the helm of a divided U.S. in a matter of days. Former CBS anchor Dan Rather, author of the new book “What Divides Us” joins Hari Sreenivasan.
