Last night, five bombs were found in New York City and New Jersey, then a knife attack in Minnesota, all within hours of each other.

We speak to voices in Europe, where terror attacks like these are commonplace and find out how they affect day-to-day life

Then we’re Turkey-bound where Vice President Biden will be negotiating the possible extradition of Gulen, the man Turkish president Erdogan says ignited the attempted coup in Turkey earlier this summer.
