100th anniversary of the Amritsar massacre

100 years since British soldiers killed hundreds of Indians in Amritsar; crisis in Sudan

100 years since the massacre by British troops of Indians in Amritsar, we hear about reaction in Britain.

Also, replacing one military general with another in Sudan: will the country's latest leader satisfy demands for real change?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are guests: Laura Lynch, a correspondent for the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation; and Nick Grono, the CEO of the Freedom Fund, a global charity that campaigns to eradicate modern day slavery.
