Newsday

Available for over a year

It's the first time in US history that a presidential candidate has chosen a black woman to run as their Vice President. We'll have the latest from Belarus -- the main opposition leader fled to Lithuania for her own safety but the demonstrations over Sunday's disputed election continue. And it's been called one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century -- we'll speak to the author of a new book on the mysterious death in 1961 of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld.
