Tuesday, Aug. 6: An Uphill Battle

Metro Morning

As tensions rise in the Middle East, guest host Molly Thomas talks to a Lebanese-Canadian who has chosen to return early from Beirut and also a a person who has chosen to stay longer. They both agree on one thing though, the Lebanese people have been through this before. She also talks to a student who was a lead organizer of the GTA's student protests in Bangladesh about the changes happening there, and students' roles in it. And, as rock climbing takes off in the Olympics, a chat with a local rock climber about why the sport is climbing in popularity.
