This week’s agenda: 9/11, economy, Libya
It’s Monday, so we’re discussing news ahead for the week. Next Sunday will be ten years since the 9/11 attacks. This will be a week of reflection – not just for Americans but for everyone around the world. As we remember 9/11, many Americans are still without jobs and struggling to make ends meet. Charlie Herman, business and economics editor for WNYC and The Takeaway, says not to expect anything game-changing from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s speech this Thursday in Minnesota on the economic outlook. His speech will be followed by President Barack Obama’s jobs speech. And across the Atlantic, Dominique Strauss-Kahn returned to France over the weekend, and the hunt for Col. Muammar Gadhafi continues in Libya. We’re speaking with Marcus Mabry, editor-at-large at the International Herald Tribune, and Charlie Herman.
