Slowing the Ebola outbreak, Milos Stehlik on films opening this week, and Weekend Passport

To combat the Ebola outbreak in Africa, Senegal decided to close its border with Guinea. Lots of attention has been on Liberia, where the crisis is worst, but the outbreak started in Guinea in December 2013. We’ll talk about how Guinea handled the crisis and what Chicago’s Guinean American community is doing with two brothers, Amadou Diallo, co-vice president of Guinean American Communities United Organization and Oumar Diallo, host of the internet radio program, Voice of African Youth on “Guineaview”. The show is geared towards the Guinean diaspora.
And, before West Africa's Ebola crisis, Uganda had the worst recorded outbreak. In 2000, 224 people died from the virus. Since then, the country has endured four more outbreaks. But the number of people dying has fallen sharply. During the most recent outbreak in 2012, only four people died. So what can other countries learn from Uganda? The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga (pron. Bia-roo-HANG-ga) reports from Kampala.
Then, Film Contributor, Milos Stehlik, takes a look at a number of offerings this week including: SUMMER'S TALE by Eric Rohmer; the documentary YVES SAINT LAURENT, about the famed French designer and MOEBIUS (Kim Ki-Duk), a South Korean film about a wife’s revenge spree that costs her husband and son in the most “private” of ways.
And, every week, Global citizen, Nari Safavi, helps listeners plan their international weekend. This week, we’ll tell you about a remembrance of the "Baltic Way", the Greek food festival, and an improvised music showcase.
