Season 2014 Episode 1210 | 53m 58s

Tonight on the program, we examine a rise in reporting of military sexual assaults and whether that signals progress. Also: pro-Russian demonstrators clash with police in Ukraine, making small improvements in the lives of India’s vulnerable domestic workers, midterm political ads get a more positive spin and how a national spike in incarcerations affects crime, cost and communities.
