As we turn the page to a new season on the first day of Spring, we have lingering reminders of the past and a critical question: What keeps the peace?

Will a historic meeting between the leaders of China and Russia lead to a breakthrough in Ukraine?

Will a "forced marriage" of two banks lead to stability in the global financial system?

Will a former President find himself under arrest or exonerated as the U.S. presidential cycle heats up?

SmartHER News Founder Jenna Lee takes you behind the breaking news banners, to report what's going on and why it really matters.
