The agenda: Tucson shooting aftermath, one-year Haiti quake anniversary

The World

The shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson on Saturday rocked the country this weekend. The Takeaway’s Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich and Callie Crossley, host of The Callie Crossley Show on WGBH in Boston, take a look at how the shooting has changed the national agenda and what else we can expect this week.

They look at the impact of the shooting on Congress. They also talk about how this week will see the one-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake and America’s obsession with reality TV.
