UN Haiti, What's Normal in Turkey?, DRC's Wealth

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

As Haiti's victims of the biggest cholera epidemic in recent history file a compensation claim against the United Nations, we ask should the UN be above the law? Turkey has lifted a ban on headscarves being worn in the civil service as part of what Prime Minister Erdogan calls 'a step toward normalisation'. What is normal in Turkey? Also, we discuss the vast wealth of The Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also one of the world's most troubled countries.
