The US Navy investigates a possible cancer cluster at Guantanamo Bay

The US Navy investigates a possible cancer cluster at Guantanamo Bay.

We hear how working at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay could be hazardous to your health. Then, we learn about a recent study that found right-wing extremists pose a greater threat to the American people than Muslim extremists. And, we have a personal tale about what it’s like to grow up a lesbian in Saudi Arabia.

Also, how massive ‘supertunnels’ allow for easier drug trafficking across the US border, why asylum in America remains little more than an elusive dream for most Mexicans, and the story of Gottschee - a European city that no longer exists.
