Chrystia Freeland
Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister
Today, in the Alpine resort town of Evian, world leaders attending the G7 summit have a lot to talk about. They're looking for more details on the U.S. peace agreement with Iran — even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seeks to jump-start peace talks with Russia. As Canada's former Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland is intimately familiar with what happens behind the scenes at meetings like the G7. She now serves as an economic adviser to President Zelensky.

Stephanie Flanders
Head of Economics and Politics, Bloomberg News
In Britain, a special by-election on Thursday could determine the direction of the country. Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham is campaigning to win a seat in Parliament, hoping from there to challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer for the top job. It's a big moment for a country which has seen fraught politics over the last ten years, with six different prime ministers. Stephanie Flanders is Head of Economics and Politics at Bloomberg News. She joins from London to discuss why this by-election is critical for Britain.

REPORT: BRITAIN'S FAR-RIGHT
Britain's tumultuous political environment is seeing a tilt to the right — a trend that has snowballed since the Brexit referendum in 2016. Ten years ago today, Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered by a far-right extremist. Now her sister, who took over Cox's former Parliamentary seat, warns that political hatred and division are worse than they were back then. Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh investigates the growing popularity of far-right politics in the U.K.

Erin Brockovich
Environmental Activist
Five million gallons. That's how much water a large data center in the U.S. might use on an average day — a shocking statistic reported by the nonpartisan Environmental and Energy Study Institute. The staggering amounts of water needed to cool down servers is raising consciousness about the environmental impact of these centers. Renowned environmental activist Erin Brockovich is calling for more transparency on data centers' impact on neighboring communities — from persistent noise pollution to dwindling water supplies. Brockovich joins Hari Sreenivasan to talk about her latest campaign.
