Week In The News: Ukrainian Invasion, Burger King Tax Trouble, A Gaza Ceasefire (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

A hot news week for the end of summer.  And a president saying let’s calm down.  In Ukraine, US officials say maybe a thousand Russian troops now across the border.  Ukrainians say “full-scale invasion.”  In Syria, US air power now scoping potential ISIS targets for bombing.  But there’s no strategy yet, says President Obama.  And no US military path in Ukraine.  At home, a funeral for Michael Brown.  Burger King bolts for Canada.  A nine-year-old kills with an Uzi in Arizona.  An earthquake in Napa.  This hour On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
