Week In The News: French Terror Attack, A New Congress, Extreme Winter (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

The agony of France, above all in the news this week. Massacre in the heart of Paris. Of cartoonists and more. Alleged roots in al Qaeda. Manhunt, fear and defiance. In Washington, a Republican majority holds all of Congress now, House and Senate. John Boehner crushes a challenge. Mitch McConnell looks at the Keystone pipeline, immigration, spending, and presidential veto threats. In New York, police turn their backs on a mayor and arrest numbers plummet. And it is cold all over. Big chill. This hour On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
