Amanpour: Alexey Kovalev, Hanna Liubakova, Carol Anderson, Dr. Becky Kennedy and Steven Johnson

Amid a crackdown on journalists in Belarus and Russia and the dramatic abduction of Roman Protasevich, local independent reporters Alexey Kovalev and Hanna Liubakova join Bianna Golodryga, standing in for Christiane Amanpour, to discuss the importance of fighting for a free press. They say "enough is enough." Turning to the U.S., historian and author Carol Anderson talks about her new book "The Second," where she argues America's Second Amendment is inextricably linked to anti-Blackness. Then our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to clinical Psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy – best known for her extremely popular Instagram page @drbeckyatgoodinside – about the mental health crisis facing kids today and lays out tangible tips for parents. And finally, Steven Johnson, author of "Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer", explains why our life expectancy has doubled in the last century.
