The World Looks at the Next Steps in the US-Cuba Relationship

Interesting times in Havana these days. A high-level US delegation is in Cuba for talks. At the same time, a Russian spy ship is docked in a Havana harbor.

Following President Obama's State of the Union address last night, we try to figure out what the next steps will be in the US-Cuba relationship, and where Russia fits in the equation. Also, our Global Nation editor Monica Campbell reports from Miami on America's special immigration policy toward Cuba. That policy is known as wet-foot/dry-foot. A Miami beach lifeguard and a Cuban American exile help explain it to us.

Plus, what the heck is going on in Yemen? Has there been a coup? Who's in charge? Sanaa resident and prolific Tweeter Hisham al-Olmeisy is asking those same questions. He'll chat with host Marco Werman.

You've heard of Doctors without Borders. Today, we'll tell you about Translators without Borders, a group working to translate essential information, such as directions for medications, into as many local African languages as possible.

And finally, we'll bring you the story of the mysterious death of an Argentine prosecutor named Alberto Nisman. Nisman died just hours before he was due to testify in Congress about an unsolved case from the 1990s that he investigated. Was Nisman's death a suicide, or murder?
