Week In The News: New Pope, Dueling Budgets, Steubenville

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/03/15/week-in-the-news-234

Pope-a-pa-looza this week, and Catholics emerge with a humble-voiced man from Argentina – and hope. Pope Francis.

In Afghanistan, a rough welcome for Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. Bombs and bombast. In Washington, dueling budget visions. Paul Ryan is back, to balance it, he says. Democrats say that’s not job one.

The big gulp ban in New York gets a judicial “no.” Knives on the plane get blowback. China’s new leader takes full power. President Obama comes to Capitol Hill.

This hour, On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

Friday News Roundup - Domestic (Diane Rehm Show)

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2013-03-15/friday-news-roundup-domestic

Conservatives are meeting here in Washington for their annual political action conference, and on the agenda is the direction of the GOP. Both parties unveil competing blueprints for the federal budget this week. President Barack Obama meets on Capitol Hill with lawmakers to seek a budget deal, as his approval rating dips below 50 percent. Intelligence chiefs warn that cyberattacks, not terrorism, are the most dangerous threats facing the U.S. A bill banning assault weapons passes the Judiciary Committee but faces strong opposition in the full Senate. And the New York Supreme Court overturns Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on big sodas. A panel of journalists joins guest host Susan Page to discuss the week's news.

Friday News Roundup - International (Diane Rehm Show)

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2013-03-15/friday-news-roundup-international

The U.S. commander in Afghanistan cautions troops to brace for violence. The warning comes after a series of anti-American statements by Afghan president Hamid Karzai. Britain and France signal they will arm Syrian rebels unless the European Union lifts a blanket arms embargo of the country. European leaders meeting at a summit in Brussels stick to a course of austerity. China’s new president promises to root out corruption in the Communist party. President Barack Obama names a new ambassador to Libya. And Roman Catholics wait to see what course the new pontiff, Pope Francis, will take. A panel of journalists joins guest host Susan Page for analysis of the week's top international news stories.
