Where are the thousands of people being ‘vanished’ by Mexican drug cartels?

About this episode

Martha investigates the rising violence and missing persons in Guadalajara amidst the upcoming World Cup.

We're in Guadalajara. Central Mexico. One of the host cities of this summer's World Cup. It's also the site of drug cartel and gang violence that erupted just three months ago, killing dozens of National Guard members. Meanwhile, the number of people who go "missing" continues to rise. Is this a place ready for tourists in just a few weeks' time? Martha investigates. Plus: Trump wants Iran to join the Abraham Accords. Iranian normalisation with Israel feels as likely as a long-lasting deal between Washington and Tehran. And… Pennsylvania calls. We check up on the most important swing state in the country.
