Week In The News: Immigration, Israel-Palestine And NSA Spying (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

National anxiety this week, moral angst, political fireworks, over the flood of immigrant children at the border.  An incoming tide of kids, up from Central America, a thousand miles from home, and nobody knows what to do.  Near chaos.  In Israel and the Gaza Strip, rockets and bombs and a hundred  Palestinians dead.  Edge of war.  In Germany, the CIA station chief told to leave in a new American spy scandal.  In Brazil, an epic soccer loss for Brazilians.  And in a cardboard box in closet in Maryland – smallpox.  This hour On Point:  our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
