This week’s agenda: Iraqi elections, Biden in the Middle East, financial reform

The World

In this week’s agenda, Marcus Mabry, international business editor for the New York Times, and Jonathan Marcus, BBC diplomatic correspondent, look at what to expect this week. They’ll look at the aftermath of Iraq’s national elections, Vice President Biden’s visit to the Middle East, and the latest news on financial reform.

Also, we look at Chile, as the country inaugurates its new president amid continuing challenges in the wake of its massive earthquake. How will the new president grapple with the recovery?
