Hole in the Wall
A border wall to keep migrants out - 鈥渁 14th Century solution to a 21st Century problem鈥�
The US built a huge wall along one-third of its border with Mexico. Now, while Europe debates its own border policies, some US politicians want to seal the entire border. Also, a French chef looks back at what he lost - and gained - after Hurricane Katrina struck. And, we hear how American snack foods are getting a Latin twist.
Guantanamo Bay prison remains open in Cuba, and it has become a matter of life and death for one prisoner from Yemen. Plus, now that US-Cuba relations are warming up, a food critic goes looking for real Cuban cuisine. And, how a Saudi singer left her home country to chase stardom in Los Angeles.
