PRI’s The World: 01/09/2014

The World

The US is hardly the only place in the world where politicians and traffic intersect — we'll hear how road politics play out in other places around the globe. Also, a doctor in Nigeria is going to great lengths to make sure his patients get treatment by making a medical device out of spare bicycle parts. And, a former US diplomat and basketball fan, weighs in on Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea.
