At Grand County High School, prom is a big deal, and some kids have had their dates picked since elementary school. That's because in Moab, your date isn't just someone you take photos with. You have to perform a choreographed dance with them in front of hundreds of people. It's part of a longstanding Moab tradition — the promenade. It's an opening ceremony to kick off the actual prom, and friends and family are invited to come watch as students make a grand entrance. This year's promenade will take place on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Photo: Students rehearse for this year's promenade at Grand County High School.

Protests against China's strict anti-Covid policies have continued for a second day in a number of cities across the country. Demonstrators gathered in Shanghai, Beijing and Wuhan. Many held up blank pieces of paper to express their dissatisfaction and to highlight the censorship they face in China. We speak live to Ukraine's Prosecutor General about what's been found in the city of Kherson after the Russian retreat. Plus: is gene-sequencing centuries-old varieties of wheat the key to future-proofing our food supplies?

CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor CBS Audio Network @Batchelorshow https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-taiwan-biden-united-states-defense/ Hong Kong — President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the United States would defend Taiwan if China ever attacked the democratically governed island. The White House quickly walked back his remark as analysts tried to discern whether Mr. Biden might have been signalling a change in Washington's long-held policy of "strategic ambiguity" over the role the U.S. would play in the event of a military conflict between China and Taiwan.  Colby @ElbridgeColby , The Marathon Initiative.

In 1990 the Indian government introduced an affirmative action plan that had been lying unimplemented for a decade. The Mandal Commission recommended guaranteeing a percentage of government jobs to lower caste Hindus. It's implementation was an attempt by the government to quell the rise of Hindu nationalism. But the move proved controversial from the outset and led to weeks of student protests across India.  Farhana Haider has been speaking to a retired superintendent of police, Dilip Trivedi who remembers the implementation of the report and its aftermath.

Mental health issues among teen girls in Kenya are often ignored. Kenyan teenagers who fall pregnant face social stigma and isolation. This, in turn, leads to a vicious cycle of mental stress, depression and suicidal thoughts. In this week’s edition of Pasha, Estelle Monique Sidze, a research scientist, discusses the problem of teen pregnancies and how to deal with the challenges young women face, including the often ignored issue of mental health, particularly in urban slums where poverty is also a factor.

Marking the 50th anniversary of the dramatic year of 1968 (which also saw the election of President Nixon), on this edition of the Nixon Now Podcast we interviewed Richard Vinen for his newly released book "1968: Radical Protest and Its Enemies,” which explores how the events of 1968 — from anti-war marches, worker strikes to violence on the streets of the world's greatest cities — shaped much of today’s culture. Richard Vinen is Professor of History at Kings College, London and the author of a number of major books on 20th Century Europe. He won the Wolfson Prize for history for his previous book, "National Service." Photo: Students flash peace signs during protests at Columbia University.(Patrick A. Burns/The New York Times).

Did the 2016 US election galvanise young people to become more engaged in politics? Millennial statistician Kevin Lin designed a research project to see if there was evidence to prove this on the website Reddit. Kevin explains his findings and the pitfalls of trying to measure anything on social media. This year has seen a sharp rise in the number of confrontations in America between far right white supremacists and a group known as antifa – the anti fascists. White nationalists claim they want to protect the right to free speech but their opponents believe it’s an excuse to promote often racist ideologies. The fight that lived online is now being played out on the streets. Serial killers and their terrible high profile crimes have spawned a massive global industry... feature films, documentaries, TV series, books, magazine profiles, hit podcasts and video games. So why do many of us find serial killers so intriguing? Is it their psychology or the gory details of their murders? Becky Milligan investigates.

Utah's San Juan County has had a lot of attention lately, over the creation of the Bear's Ears National Monument. The monument has generated emotional argument on both sides over how that land should best be managed. But beyond Bear's Ears, fights over closed trails and other issues, are people who'd like to give their children what they need to succeed. KSL Newsradio's Marc Giauque has an example of one school's story, as we continue on our road to understanding.

Is debt essential for economic growth? We look at the economics and morality of debt. Should countries burdened with huge debts be forced to repay them in full? And, if it is fine for an individual to borrow large sums to buy a house, why shouldn’t governments do the same to finance employment schemes or large infrastructure projects? Owen Bennett Jones and his expert panel are in front of a live audience at the How the Light Gets in Festival in Hay-on-Wye to discuss the problems of debt.
