Syrian refugees scattered throughout the Middle East are being hit hard by a spell of cold weather. We talk to Lina Sergie Attar of Karam International who just returned from a school for refugee students on the Turkish Syrian border. Then, Brazil's struggles with the costs of hosting the World Cup and the Olympics, two major global sporting events, in as many years. Finally, we'll check in with Tillers International.
