Marcus Mabry, international business editor for The New York Times, and Adam Mynott, from the BBC, join us to take a look at the consequences of Abdullah Abdullah pulling out of the just-cancelled run-off elections in Afghanistan. Also on the agenda: the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Iran hostage crisis, and October’s employment numbers, due out later this week from the Labor Department.
