Ausstrahlung: Nov 27, 2017

President Trump has appointed 36-year-old Brett Talley to a federal judgeship in Alabama. Talley, who has never tried a case, has been rated by the American Bar Association as “unqualified” for the position. As Talley awaits Senate confirmation, VICE News examines who he is and why he was appointed. Bad batches are killing heroin users left and right in Baltimore, now one resident, along with his team of young programmers and a grant from the city, are using an emergency text alert system for mass overdose events. Last month in Cairo, one man raised the rainbow flag at a Mashrou Leila concert and was arrested along with about 30 other concert-goers. They're expected in court this month and will likely receive very harsh sentences. VICE News speaks to one man about what it's like to be gay in Egypt. In another installment of Storyboard, VICE News chats with Luca Guadagnino about how his role evolved from advisor to director and what got cut from his first, 4-hr cut of Call Me By Your Name. Plus, VICE News takes a closer look at how politicians handle accusations of sexual misconduct.
