The rent's too damn high...in Hong Kong. More on that story in a minute.
Up first on the show today, we're taking you to the front lines in the battle against Ebola. Bernice Dahn is Liberia's chief medical officer, and she's put herself in quarantine. That's after one of her close colleagues showed symptoms of the disease. We'll find out how a country whose resources are already stretched thin is faring with one of its top medical personnel stuck in her own home.
We'll also hear from a Norwegian psychologist who has spent the last few months working in both Sierra Leone and Liberia. She'll tell us the story of Patrick, one of those young kids trapped behind a quarantine fence.
Then, to Hong Kong where protesters are threatening to occupy government buildings unless their pro-democracy demands are met by Beijing. Our man in Hong Kong, Matthew Bell, will have the latest. We'll also speak with Charlie Schroeder and Wendy Mok, an American and a native Hong Konger who moved back to Hong Kong a few years ago. Wendy reflects on how the city has changed (especially the sky-high real estate prices), and both talk about how they sympathize with the protesters.
All that, plus the story of a man who survived the Warsaw Uprising by going deep underground: into the Polish capital's sewers.
