President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone is one of the many leaders from around the world to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York. We discussed some of the major issues and challenges facing Sierra Leone, and its relationship with China.

We also spoke with Executive Director of UNAIDS, Winnie Byanyima. She is leading the United Nations’ effort to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Winnie Byanyima talked about who’s left behind in the fight against AIDS.
