Live Q&A: Politicians Fight to Keep COVID Powers Alive; Russia Deals Heavy Blow in Economic War
As the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, powers both foreign and domestic are introducing policies and systems that would maintain special powers that were introduced in response to the health emergency.

In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.
