The World from PRX on MSNHopes for calm after clashes in southern Syria and airstrikes in DamascusThe World’s Host Marco Werman speaks with Istanbul-based journalist Ruth Michaelson about unrest in Syria amid clashes between minority groups, government military involvement and Israeli airstrikes in the country.
