Twenty five years ago, the Chinese government violently suppressed pro-democracy, anti-corruption student protests in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Chicago-based writer and journalist, Wen Huang, was in Beijing during the 1989 protests. He'll tell us how that event changed China.
Then, more than 60 percent of all U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan target homes or domestic buildings. That's according to a research project carried out by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) and Forensic Architecture and Situ Research. We'll discuss the findings with TBIJ correspondent and researcher Alice Ross.
Plus, Morning Shift and Radio M host Tony Sarabia tells us more about rude boy music style and shares some tunes.
