Week In The News: G.O.P. Debate, Fed Rate Hike, Baltimore Mistrial (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

You can feel the holidays coming this week. Everybody pushing to get things squared away. Paris is a wrap, with an historic climate agreement. We’ll see how it plays out. Congress is pushing hard to wrap up a federal spending package. Nobody happy but everybody wants to go home. John Kerry, trying to negotiate a Syria path with Moscow. The President, summing up his year, heading to San Bernadino and Hawaii. We’ve got a hung jury in Baltimore. Fed moves. And the force of “Star Wars” all over. This hour On Point, our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. — Tom Ashbrook
