Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Police officers arrest a pro-democracy protester outside Hong Kong's Government complex on December 11, 2014. After more than two months and drawing crowds of over 100,000, the main Admiralty pro-democracy protest site is being cleared away by bailiffs and police after a court injunction paved the way for officials to clear three parts of the site.
Governments worldwide condemn the U.S. Senate’s report on interrogation. The United States transfers six Guantanamo Bay detainees to Uruguay. U.S. and coalition allies officially end their combat mission in Afghanistan while deadly suicide attacks continue. Violent attacks are growing in Israel after a prominent Palestinian official dies during a demonstration in the West Bank. And Hong Kong police dismantle protest camps and arrest hundreds of pro-democracy activists. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week’s top international news stories.
