During his campaign, candidate Joe Biden said that on day one, he would submit an immigration reform bill to Congress. What challenges will Biden face in reforming US immigration policy? And, there is a growing debate taking place about a possible boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing due to allegations of human rights abuses. Also, wildlife photographer Paul Nicklen and his organization SeaLegacy recently teamed up with a conservation group to raise half a million dollars to buy out the hunting licenses for wolves off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, in order to protect them.
