KNX In Depth: Will Smith banned from the Oscars for 10 years--Rocket attack kills 50 people at Ukraine train station--Secret Service bribery scandal--We're all more forgetful now
Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock gets him a slap on the wrist from the Academy. The Board of Governors met and banned Smith from the Oscars and any other Academy event for the next 10 years. That's far less punishment than taking away his Best Actor Oscar, which was something some people had called for. We go In Depth into what this means for Will Smith moving forward. We head to Ukraine to learn more about that rocket attack that officials say killed 50 people at a train station in the eastern part of the country. A woman from Kharkiv who fled the country is an aspiring screenwriter who will share her plans to tell the story of Ukraine post-war when there is finally peace. Two men are accused of pretending to be federal law enforcement agents. That's not the strange part of the story. They allegedly bribed or tried to bribe a few Secret Service employees. We try to find out why. A new study shows COVID's impact on life expectancy here in the U.S. It dropped again in 2021. Modern society might be making us forget things more.
