    In many cities, the pandemic has changed the way people commute. Bicycle and scooter use has increased, while subway and bus ridership has declined. And as people have started to work from home, fewer cars are on the streets, leading to easing traffic congestion and air pollution. But will these issues return after the pandemic? Or is this an opportunity to reimage our transit systems? We talked to Sarah Kaufman, a transport and urban planning expert about the future of transportation.

    It has been 75-years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan that killed more than 210,000 people by the end of that year.

    As the Black Lives Matter protests continue across the U.S., there is another group fighting racism. Mirroring the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the number of hate incidents against people of Asian descent has also increased, and slanderous rhetoric like "China Virus" and "Kung Flu" are stoking racial tensions. How can we combat this stigma, prejudice and racism? We asked Dr. Russell Jeung, founder of an online organization that keeps track of racial incidents in the U.S.

    This year, as countries continue to grapple with the pandemic, there are many discussions about whether or not it is the right time to return to school. In the U.S., images of high school hallways packed with students not wearing facemasks went viral on social media, and in some states, schools have been forced to shut down shortly after reopening.

    The U.S. has long been a leader of democratic nations; a pillar of strength to its allies when facing communist countries or those with authoritarian leaders, although there are arguments concerning some of its foreign operations.

    S1:E25

    President Biden faces many foreign policy challenges. During Donald Trump's term, the U.S. pulled out from an array of international accords and institutions. While Biden proclaims, "America is back," it may take years to regain the world's trust. And just 10-days after the inauguration, Myanmar's military led a coup, potentially shifting power in the region and strengthening China's influence. We asked former NSC member Charles Kupchan how the Biden administration will shape their foreign policy.
