Meanwhile, European nations are trying to help its workers get out of Libya. Health reporter Gregory Warner investigated the possibility of fighting alcoholism with a pill in Russia. And Kai spoke with photographer J Henry Fair about his striking photographs of nature and the effects of human consumption. Time to consume the songs we played:
