Author Khaled Hosseini on Syrian Refugees

Kite Runner author meets Syrian refugees; Greece asylum crisis; Sexism alive in France

Kite Runner author, Khaled Hosseini, meets Syrian refugees in his role as UN Goodwill Ambassador. The numbers of migrants arriving in Greece has grown in the past year but the economic crisis there is preventing adequate help. Sexism is alive in French political circles according to a group of female journalists, who say enough is enough.
