After a slightly larger interval we continue our newz discussion program with Tim still in Berlin and Mark having moved to Portugal to help out with things. Today we discuss Syria shooting down turkish planes, Paraguay toppling its president due to failure to maintain social harmony, Brazil's impressive track record with renewable energy, North Carolina going nuts and Egypt having a new president. We finish off by looking at a nice little project trying to help endangered languages.
