December 27, 2017: Hour 2

In hour two of Here & Now's Dec. 27, 2017 full broadcast, we discuss China and news that the country is willing to look at extending a multibillion-dollar economic corridor with Pakistan to Afghanistan to promote peace in the region. Also, from a neutron star collision to the total solar eclipse, we review the year in science news with NPR's science correspondent Joe Palca. And, we revisit a conversation with one architectural historian to look at what we can learn from the destruction of some of history's greatest buildings.
