US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power talks Burundi. Power sounds an alarm about mass atrocities there and warns that "history could repeat itself" in central Africa. She tells host Marco Werman her recent visit there gave her a window into the "darker tendencies" of Burundi's government. Also, as the Zika virus continues to make headlines in the Americas, Brazil considers its preparations for the summer Olympics. Plus, we have a real Friday storytelling treat, courtesy of The World's Bradley Campbell. Bradley thinks his father killed Spanish — at least in his own family — so he travels back to his hometown in Oregon to speak with his Honduras-born dad about why he only spoke English to his children as they grew up.
