In Search of Solutions
The city of Boston reacts to the conviction of Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
We hear reflections on the Boston Marathon bombing verdict from Juliette Kayyem, a Boston resident and former assistant secretary of homeland security. Then, a Somali-American activist tells us the tragic tale of his nephew - a 17-year-old honours student who left his Minnesota home to join al-Shabab. Also, we meet 鈥楢verage Mohamed鈥�, a petrol station manager who is using cartoons to fight Islamic State recruitment.
Plus, the US Secretary of Energy tells us about something he has in common with his Iranian counterpart and its role in securing the Iranian nuclear deal. We hear about the plot to overthrow North Korea鈥檚 leadership, one American sitcom at a time. And, we find out what happens when North Korean students watch 鈥楬arry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban鈥�.
