Good evening, I’m Zac Schultz. Tonight on “Here & Now,” what happened at UW-Madison and Milwaukee protests this week and how campuses on the other side of the state feel about the demonstrations. Then, election observers are expected to balloon this year. We look at a new rule that determines how close to voters they can be. And finally, the emerging spread of bird flu in dairy cows. We speak with the lead investigator on the potential threat. It’s “Here & Now” for May 3rd.
