Also on today's show: Reem Turkmani, Director, Syria Conflict Research Program at the London School of Economics & Charles Lister, Syria Program Director at Middle East Institute; Gabriela Jauregui, Mexican author, poet and women's rights activist; author Marion Nestle (“What to Eat Now”) Learn more about your ad choices.
