As the nation counts down to default, Diane talks to longtime Congress watcher Norm Ornstein about the debt limit negotiations, what's at stake and whether he sees a way forward.
Hundreds of news reports are coming out of the war-torn Yugoslav province of Serbia called Kosovo. The Serbian media is operating under strict wartime conditions, but the American media also has been criticized for reporting only part of the story.

They’ll discuss how the news shapes public opinion and warfare itself.
