The United States is facing a number of major disease outbreaks, from foodborne cyclosporiasis to vaccine-preventable measles. We speak to the former chief medical officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Debra Houry. She resigned from her post one year ago in protest over political interference at the agency and the leadership of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist who has overseen the slashing of billions of dollars in public health funding during the second Trump administration.
"The U.S. is really at a tipping point, when you look at measles, whooping cough, all these vaccine-preventable diseases, as well, and the secretary is responsible for this," says Houry. "Public health matters. When it works, you often don't know, because you're saving lives. But when you take it away, we see those consequences today."

We speak to Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, about Israel's continued impunity from international law. Despite an International Criminal Court warrant out for his arrest, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the White House to meet with President Donald Trump. While the United States is not a member state to the ICC, "It doesn't mean that they have to extend protection to a fugitive from international law," says Albanese, who joins widespread international calls for Netanyahu's arrest. "The United States is actively contributing to make the international criminal law architecture that it has been building, from the Nuremberg trials up until now, crumble on our head."
Albanese also comments on settler- and soldier-led "pogroms" in the occupied West Bank and calls out the complicity of the governments of Greece, Italy and France, which, despite being party to the ICC, authorized Netanyahu's travel through their airspaces. "It looks small in the context of a genocide, but every action matters, as every crime matters and will be accounted for," she says.
