Week In The News: Israel-Gaza Escalates, Congressional Recess, Russian Sanctions (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

A ceasefire that has not lasted in Gaza this week, and news on many fronts.  In Washington, where the CIA has admitted spying on its Senate Intelligence Committee overseers.  And where Congress is breaking for recess with no solution to the crisis of kids stacked up at the border.  In West Africa, where Ebola hits a record outbreak, with one patient headed to Atlanta.  With Russia, and new sanctions.  California and more water woes.  Wall Street, with a big swoon and all eyes on the US economy.  This hour On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
