FBI agents arrested 21-year-old air national guardsman Jack Teixeira, who has been identified as the prime suspect in the leak of classified intelligence documents. They contain military secrets relating to Ukraine, as well as information about other countries. A former CIA officer reacts to the news. Also, a decade ago, two bombs went off at the Boston Marathon. It’s a tragic day that still reverberates and a moment that changed how security at big sporting events gets done. Also, Mexican activists are helping American women get abortions. The procedures require no travel, clinics or prescriptions. Plus, we hear from singer Pilani Bubu from South Africa — a onetime lawyer and businesswoman who gave it up to become a singer-songwriter.
