PRI’s The World: 10/22/2013 (Cuba, Colombia, South Africa)

The World

Amnesty International says US drone strikes that killed civilians in Pakistan may constitute war crimes. Also, what else are drones used for?  We hear about the many non-lethal, positive ways that unmanned aerial vehicles are put to work. Plus, the story of one of America's favorite hot sauces: Sriracha.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
