The Aftermath of the Pittsburgh Shootings

Flags at half-mast for victims of synagogue shootings; political test for Angela Merkel

Flags are flying at half-mast at the White House in memory of the eleven people shot dead in a synagogue in Pittsburgh; another difficult political test for Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing coalition in the German state of Hesse; and why young children sleep so easily through alarms. Paul Henley discusses these and other topics with Chitra Nagarajan, a Nigerian writer and human rights activist, and by Matthew Green, a British writer and journalist for Reuters.
