PRI’s The World: 10/23/2013 (Japan, Australia, Libya)

The World

Wednesday on The World: It's not everyday that a Chinese newspaper takes on the government directly. We hear about the Chinese paper that is demanding that police release one of its reporters. And we meet Alex Owumi – born in Nigeria and raised in Boston – who wound up playing on Gaddafi's basketball team on the eve of the Libyan revolution.
