On this edition of Your Call’s media roundtable, we’ll discuss the rapidly unfolding situation in Sudan. After months of protests, Sudan’s military stepped in and removed President Omar al-Bashir. Activists call the military takeover a coup that aims to reproduce the same faces that protesters revolted against. What’s next for Sudan?
We will talk about the links between climate change and the recent devastating floods in the US and around the globe.
Guests:
Hana Baba, reporter and co-host of KALW's Crosscurrents and co-host of The Stoop podcast
John Schwartz, science writer for The New York Times, focusing on climate change
