This 2011 file photo shows Secretary of State Hillary Clinton checks her Blackberry phone alongside Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan (R) as she attends the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea.
The U.S. economy adds 295,000 jobs in February, prompting questions about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates. Attorney General Eric Holder calls on Ferguson leaders to act against widespread racial bias found in its law enforcement. The State Department cautions that its review of Hillary Clinton’s emails could take months. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to congress stirs political tensions. President Barack Obama signs a long-stalled bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. And questions remain about whether Obamacare will survive its second trip to the Supreme Court. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week’s top national news stories.
