In hour two of Here & Now's Oct. 9, 2017 full broadcast, we speak with the BBC's Justin Rowlatt about the latest on the situation in Afghanistan and why the country's president is confident military forces will soon rout the Taliban. Also we hear from this year's winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Richard Thaler, on his work in behavioral economics.
