This week’s agenda: fallout from Afghan civilian deaths, Toyota hearings, health care summit
Our weekly look ahead at the news for the next seven days with Marcus Mabry, international business editor for The New York Times, and Jonathan Marcus from the BBC. This week: the fallout from a NATO air strike that killed a number of Afghan civilians; what’s in store for Toyota executives as they face a grilling from U.S. lawmakers; and how Republicans are preparing to face President Obama at his health care summit.
All that, and senior diplomats from India and Pakistan prepare to meet to amend relations that were severely severed after the Mumbai bombings 15 months ago.
