Iranians celebrate Islamic Republic Day on April 1. The holiday commemorates the day the country became a theocratic Islamic Republic state in 1979. This year marks the 35th anniversary. We'll talk with Iranian American Ahmad Sadri about the revolution and its impact, 35 years later.

Then, a conversation with International Rescue Committee CEO David Miliband on the humanitarian side of the Syrian conflict, and a look at the Sunflower Movement protests in Taiwan.
