One of Britain’s most famous and controversial politicians, Boris Johnson, has become the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  His first big task will be to make good on his Brexit promise to lead the country out of European Union. Annabelle Timsit, reporter at Quartz and who is based in London, joins us for all the reaction to the new prime minister.

Next, Sammy, the one-winged bald eagle has been birdnapped.  The 35 year old bird has been living a good life at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge on Long Island since 1988 when he was shot and had to get his right wing amputated.  Now, someone has broken into his cage and taken him.  Marisa Nelson, assistant director of the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, joins us to share Sammy’s story and call for his return.

Finally, we take a look at what makes ADX Florence the country’s most secure prison.  It is all a matter of design.  Holding a who’s who of bad guys and now the infamous El Chapo, the Alcatraz of the Rockies is literally built into the side of a mountain.  Soundproof cells are made of concrete from top to bottom and only has a disorienting 4-inch wide window to the outside world. Eleanor Cummins, assistant editor at Popular Science, joins us for a look at ADX Florence.
