The A$AP Rocky trial is underway in Sweden and the rapper testified about an altercation he had with two men in Stockholm.  A$AP claims that he feared for his safety when two young men were following him and fought with his bodyguard.  One of the issues is whether a bottle was used to beat up one of the men.  Christina Anderson is in Sweden covering the trial, she joins us for what happened and this added twist… President Trump has sent a special envoy to sit in at the trial.

Next, a new congressional report is shedding more light on all the awful crimes that were committed by Olympic gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar.  The new report says that the FBI, USA Gymnastics, and more, all knew about the allegations of Nassar’s abuse of athletes, but hid the extent of his crimes from the public and the athletic community.  Brianna Sacks, BuzzFeed News reporter, joins us for more.

Finally, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a baby southern white rhino was just born and the program that helped bring him into the world could help save the nearly extinct northern white rhino.  Scientists want to use frozen eggs and sperm from a dead northern white rhino and implant it into a surrogate mother to hopefully repopulate them.  Brad Fikes, reporter at the San Diego Union Tribune, joins us for this ambitious project to save the northern white rhino.
