Week In The News: Pope In DC, Volkswagen Scandal, Death On The Hajj (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

It’s the Pope all over this week. Above all, for us, before the US Congress saying the polarization has to end. For the Earth. For the poor, for immigrants, for families. House Speaker John Boehner will resign from Congress. China’s leader in Washington, too. Nice talk and tough issues. In 2016 politics we’ve got Scott Walker out. Ben Carson on Islam. Hillary Clinton saying no to the Keystone pipeline. And Trump fighting FOX. Volkswagen’s in big trouble. More than 700 dead in Mecca. And Yogi Berra is gone. This hour, On Point, our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. /Tom Ashbrook
