Week In The News: Germanwings Crash, Ted Cruz 2016, Yemen Unravels (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

An airline stunner this week. Horror. Germanwings, down. The co-pilot, we’re told, did it. Now what? In Yemen, Saudi jets go bombing. Fears of a face-off with Iran. In Tikrit, US jets go bombing, ISIS – coordinating with Iran. It’s complicated. Ted Cruz looks for an edge with an early formal announcement for the presidency. Bowe Bergdahl faces charges for desertion. Medicare gets a “doc fix.” Heinz and Kraft will become one great big huge food giant, but Americans are turning elsewhere. This hour On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
