Remembering Orlando

After the mass shooting, a community activist counsels the victims' families

We speak to an activist in Orlando helping her city to recover, after last week's mass shooting. Then, a gay Muslim tells us how it feels to belong to the community of the perpetrator, and of the victims.

Plus, the world's reaction to Orlando. A survivor of the Paris attacks notes similarities. A gay couple in Russia gets arrested, paying tribute to the victims. And a journalist in a favela in Rio de Janeiro says she'd never want to come to America.

Lastly, a reflection from Marco Werman on gun control.
