The aftermath of an American drone strike in Yemen

The aftermath of an American drone strike in Yemen.

In December 2013, a US drone strike in Yemen killed 12 men. We’ll revisit the attack and examine its shadowy aftermath. 

Also on the programme, we’ll hear how one Muslim American fought prejudice by running for political office in small town USA. We'll meet the American scientist helping grandmothers in Argentina find their stolen grandchildren. And a veteran of the Iraq War describes how he feels when he sees the embattled country unravelling again. Plus, we’ll hear from a California-based rapper giving voice to young Iraqis abroad. And we’ll learn about the latest trend in tourism that has travellers exploring the darker, dirtier corners of the world.
