Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, known by soccer fans simply as Eusebio, died earlier this week from heart failure. He was named one of soccer's top ten greatest players. We'll remember his career with journalist Simon Kuper. Also, violence continues in the Central African Republic as children have become victims in the brutal fighting between Christian and Muslim militias. We'll talk with researcher Lewis Mudge of Human Rights Watch about the chances of a U.N. peacekeeping mission, plus Mattathias Schwartz, a contributor to The New Yorker has written an article on the war on drugs about a U.S. supported operation in Honduras which could have lead to the deaths of innocent civilians.
