Week In The News: Amtrak Crash, TPP Snags In Senate, Camp David Summit (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Train wreck mayhem in Philadelphia this week, and questions. Why was it accelerating into that curve? And are we starving our infrastructure? In Washington, a Pacific trade deal hot potato challenged but rolling forward. At Camp David, Sunni Gulf leaders – but not the Saudi King – gather to ask what’s up with the US and Iran. We’ve got Jeb Bush, squirming all over on what he’d have done with the Iraq War. A different take on Osama bin Laden’s killing. Policemen down in Hattiesburg. And “deflategate” penalties. This hour On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
