President Trump has announced that he's pulling out of the Iran deal. What comes next? Nahal Toosi, a foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, explains what comes next now that the US has pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. Also: we learn how US involvement in Central America help set up today's immigration patterns; we travel deep into the Amazon to find out about a new theory of the origin of language; we speak to Jimmy Carter about keeping faith in hard times; and we listen to two musical appreciations of ritual: a recording of the Sufi ceremony of Zikr from Xinjiang, China and the song “Conselho do Bom Senso” by the Brazilian band Tuyo.
