Vanguard Weekly Special
Current Correspondent Christof Putzel travels to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan as the country braces itself for democracy. So long, Shangri-La!
Vanguard looks at the world like a big detective story.
The world seems to be changing more rapidly than at any other time in history. Vanguard is trying to make sense of these massive changes. A lot of the news coverage out there seems to be nothing more than a random jumble of headlines. We’re trying to look beyond news events to track the interconnected forces that are shaping our world. By getting a better understanding of why things are happening, we hope to get a few clues as to what might happen next.
Vanguard's Weekly Special airs every Wednesday
evening at 10PM ET/ 7PM PT
