History Now
Two brothers - one in Iran, one in the US - share their hopes post-nuclear deal.
We talk to two brothers - one in Tehran, the other in California - about what a nuclear deal means for a family separated by sanctions. Then, we head to Mike’s Place for a story about love, blues, and terror in Tel Aviv. And, we drop by Little Saigon to visit the office of the oldest Vietnamese language newspaper in the United States, the Nguoi Viet Daily News.
Also, why generations of Dutch citizens still trek to the graves of US World War Two soldiers. And ‘a man walks into a bar', or is it ‘a man walked into a bar’?
