Strained relations between germany and croatia. During the cold war, several croatian dissidents were murdered in what was then west germany. The man with a top spy with yugoslavias secret service at the time and he was accused of complicity in one such case. Germany has long asked for his extradition, which has now been granted. Our reporters met the former spy in zagreb for the first ever televised interview. The wall of secrecy built around atrocities committed during communism is beginning to crack. A prominent croatian exiles survived an assassination attempt. It was 1988 in scotland where he lived with his british wife before he went back to croatia. They took between the spine and heart. The wouldbe assassin was arrested and convicted. The top leader of the Independence Movement called for croatia to leave hominis yugoslavia. This made him a communist yugoslavia.

You have to be there rapidly and have the ability to respond, and sometimes hours makes the difference.

The American People now can see clearly. Black, latino, native americans nearly three times more likely to die from covid and more likely to get covid to begin with. Black and latino unemployment rates too large, too high. Communities of color are left to ask whether theyll ever be able to break the cycle where in good times they lag, in bad times theyre hit the hardest, and in recovery they take the longest to bounce back. Vice president elect harris and i knew we would have our work cut out for us when we got elect elected, but we also knew we could build a team that would meet this unique and challenging moment in american history. Some are familiar faces. Some are new in their roles. All are facing new circumstances and challenges. Thats a good thing. They bring deep experience and bold new
