Halfway through the first hour we'll be joined in-studio by a special guest, cultural commentator and geopolitical analyst Dr. Radwan Rizk to discuss the deep history of this region and how it is still influencing present day conflicts here, as well as in Syria and Yemen. Later on we’ll also cover this week's SHOUT! Poll and put the next big question out to our listeners. In the third hour we’re joined by international human rights lawyer Mohammed Al Wazir from Arabian Rights Watch Association to talk about the Forgotten War in Yemen and the use of cluster bombs and other WMDs as the one year anniversary of that war passes this week.
