Obama in Ethiopia

President Obama in Ethiopia; Mike Huckabee Iran Comments; Turkey Kurdish Attacks

President Obama has arrived in Ethiopia - what we can expect from his visit? Former US Ambassador to the country David Shinn spoke to Newsday.

US Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, has caused controversy with his comments on the Iranian nuclear deal, saying that Barack Obama "will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven". Barbara Goldberg Goldman of the National Jewish Democratic Council gave her reaction.

Suat Kiniklioglu, director of the Centre for Strategic Communication, a think tank in Ankara, explains the Turkish Government's thinking behind its decisions to bomb both IS held territory and Kurdish PKK camps in Iraq.
