The tragedy of Myanmar is the central subject of this discussion. Both of the U.N. representatives speak against unconscionable delays on the part of the ruling junta in allowing foreign aid representatives in to do their vital work. Both Holmes and Sheeran then speak about the crisis situation for the world's one- billion poorest people created by the steep rise in commodity and food prices.
In the second segment New York Teachers Union Representative Randi Weingarten speaks about the problems of Education in America. The suburban good school and the urban poor school is one major problem. She speaks knowingly about a long list of educational problems, including her recent disagreements with NY Mayor Bloomberg.
Both of these segments gave me a bit more insight into problems of importance I do not know much about. I suspect they will do the same for most viewers.
