Friday News Roundup - International -- Diane Rehm Show

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2013-03-01/friday-news-roundup-international

But the administration's first public commitment of support for the armed opposition fell short of their request for weapons. Nuclear talks between six world powers and Iran ended with only an agreement to hold further meetings this spring. Pope Benedict officially entered retirement. And Italy's inconclusive election reignited fears about the European Union's debt crisis. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week's top international news stories.
