Austin Tice's brother and sister just spoke with John Berman. Asked if there's new information, they told him: "We know that Austin is alive and we know Austin is in Syria." The prison releases and family reunions they're seeing in Syria is giving them hope.

Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has not seen her children for years – now on medical leave from prison in Iran, she says she was “a bit shocked” seeing on a videocall how much they’ve grown. “I don’t know when they say, ‘We forgive you,’ whether they will ever forgive me.”

If leaders of countries want to turn a new page with #USA, a good first step is to release American hostages they are holding and return the remains of those who have died. #Afghanistan #Venezuela #Syria #Iran #DRC #Russia
