US-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine wrapped up in Geneva today after just about two hours. Both sides say there is progress. Still, Moscow launched a wave of aerial attacks just hours before this round of talks began. Barham Salih has just been appointed the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, having previously served as president of Iraq. He joins from Ukraine. 

Also on today's show: Joachim Trier, Director & Co-writer, “Sentimental Value”; CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta; author Jon Meacham
