Devastating natural disasters and human tragedy are bedeviling North Africa. In Libya, there are harrowing stories of bodies filling the streets after massive floods caused by a torrential downpour that smashed through two dams. More than 6,000 are presumed dead, at least 10,000 are missing and 30,000 have been displaced. These are huge numbers in a failing state, which urgently needs help. Correspondent Ben Wedeman has the details. 

Also on today's show: New York State Senator Jessica Ramos and Christine Quinn, CEO of "Women in Need" (WIN), New York City's largest shelter; author Simon Schama; Dr. Daniela J. Lamas
