OK to laugh at world leaders?
Turkish President Erdogan has filed a criminal complaint against a German satirist.
We hear from Turkey and Germany after Turkey's President Erdogan files a criminal complaint against a German satirist for a poem he wrote. Is it ok to laugh at world leaders? Also, we hear from the drought-affected areas in Maharastra, India. Plus, what's it like being gay in China? Gay people discuss their lives in China after a judge rules that a gay couple cannot register as married, in the country's first case of its kind.
