US President Joe Biden has called Russian war atrocities in Ukraine “genocide.” We hear from a genocide scholar who agrees. And a growing number of Haitians have been arriving on the coast of Florida since last fall. It’s the latest challenge for authorities trying to control the numbers of new undocumented immigrants.
