PRI’s The World: 5/01/14

The World

Twenty-five years ago, students began protesting against the Chinese government in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. We speak to a reporter who was there and why his reporting led to him being expelled from China. Plus, we explore the local Boston connections to the unfolding story of the questioning of Irish political leader Gerry Adams in a 1972 IRA murder. And, what's causing Islamabad's pollen count to be off the charts?
