Syrian Conflict and Prospects for PeaceMar 16, 201622mGuest: Hakan Yavuz, PhD, Professor of Political Science and Middle East Affairs at the University of Utah This week marks five years since the start of the War in Syria, and it comes with a surprising twist: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the “main part” of his forces will withdraw from the country where they’ve been fighting in support of Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad. Media reports indicate Russian forces did, indeed, begin to withdraw yesterday. Meanwhile, a tenuous ceasefire between Assad and rebel groups trying to oust him has lasted two weeks. All of which has “produced new momentum” in peace talks underway in Geneva, according to a UN special envoy for Syria.

Relative RaceMar 16, 201622mGuest: Doug and Margo Engberg, Contestants on Relative Race A new reality show on BYUTV called “Relative Race” blends elements of the Amazing Race with a passion for family history. Four married couples are in a 10-day road-trip race across the country in search of distant relatives they’ve never met, but know they’re related to because they’ve had their DNA tested. A $25,000 prize is on the line, but you could argue that no matter who wins, all of the couples gain something precious – new people they can call family.
