A Yemeni student in America urges US officials to end support for Saudi-led airstrikes.
Shireen Al-Adeimi, a doctoral student at Harvard University, channels the voice of her fellow Yemenis and calls for the US government to end support for Saudi-led airstrikes. Then, we hear how one refugee family from Syria is starting over in California. And, as part of our First Days series, an Israeli teenager tells us what it was like to move to Massachusetts.
Also: the story of a Honduran family divided between home and New Orleans. How a proper Englishman caught gold fever in the American 'Wild West'. And Omar Offendum, a Syrian-American rapper, offers up a sharp lament for his homeland.
