Season 2012 Episode 1940 | 54m 46s

Tonight on the program, we examine continuing fallout from the Penn State sexual abuse case as the FBI stated that key members of the university shared in the blame. Also: Niger fights back against drought and famine and leads the way in West Africa, Facebook "likes" and "shares" affecting presidential votes in November, and the rough lifestyle of city living for youth in China.
