Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
The leaders of France and Germany travel to Moscow with a peace plan to end the fighting in Ukraine. U.S. officials consider sending weapons to aid government forces there. Jordan launches airstrikes against ISIS targets after one of their pilots is burned alive. A 9/11 hijacker in prison alleges the Saudi royal family gave money to al-Qaida. In Argentina, prosecutors depose an ex-spy in an alleged bombing cover-up that some say implicates the president. The European Central Bank restricts funding for Greek banks.
