Week In The News: Syria, Romney, Bad Jobs Report | On Point with Tom Ashbrook

The country needs good job creation numbers. So does the Obama re-election campaign. They didn’t get them this week. Just 69,000 jobs created in May. Not good. In Texas, Romney clinches the GOP nomination. In North Carolina, John Edwards walks after a jury can’t decide.

In Syria, bloody mayhem. A tipping point says Kofi Annan. It can’t go on. But it does. We’ve got an appeals court rules against the Defense of Marriage Act. New York’s mayor against super-sized sodas. Doc Watson signs off.
This hour, On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

Friday News Roundup - Domestic | The Diane Rehm Show from WAMU and NPR

The U.S. economy grew more slowly than expected in the first quarter. Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday with a win in the Texas primary. A jury found former Sen. John Edwards not guilty on one count against him and the judge declared a mistrial on the others. Major Garrett of National Journal, Susan Page of USA Today and Juan Williams of Fox News join Diane for analysis of the week's top national news stories.

Friday News Roundup - International | The Diane Rehm Show from WAMU and NPR

U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton says the chances of civil war in Syria are high if the world fails to act. There are mixed messages on whether the U.S. would take military action there without the U.N. Iran claims it defeated a powerful computer virus used for spying. Pakistan militants deny links to a doctor hired by the C.I.A. to help track down Osama bin Laden. Ireland declares victory in a referendum on Europe's new fiscal treaty. The vote comes as European’s central bank chief said the eurozone’s current structure can’t be sustained. And Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth celebrates sixty years on the throne.

Predator Nation | On Point with Tom Ashbrook

Interview:

When the U.S. economy melted down in 2008, Charles Ferguson stepped up with a blistering documentary on the collapse called "Inside Job." He named names and laid blame for the crash in a way that regulators and law enforcement were unwilling to do. "Inside Job" won the Academy Award for best documentary.
Now, Charles Ferguson is back with more. A deep, furious critique of American finance and politics today as fundamentally corrupt and corrupting. Dangerous. Predatory.
This hour, On Point: bare-knuckled critic Charles Ferguson and the "predator nation."

A War On Voting? | On Point with Tom Ashbrook

Democracy means get out the vote. But a new wave of state legislation across the country is making it harder to vote. Tightening up in many ways. Making voter registration more difficult. Reducing early voting days. Demanding voter ID. Proof of citizenship.
Backers say it's all to clean up American voting. Critics say that's a ruse. That voter fraud problems in this country are miniscule. That it's really a Republican drive to push away voters they don't want at the polls. A "war on voting."
This hour On Point: the wave of new restrictions on American voting.

When China moved into the American solar market, it was murder for American solar manufacturers. They were undercut right and left by Chinese companies with major backing from the Chinese government.
Many shut down. But it was great for American solar panel installers. From China, they got a low-cost product that sold like hot cakes. You may have some of those panels on your roof right now, pumping out green energy.
Last week, the U.S. government stepped in with big tariffs on Chinese solar panel imports.
