Week In The News: Prison Break, Boots In Iraq, McKinney Pool Party

The New York prison break. More US boots on the ground for Iraq. Police and a Texas pool party. Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

Prison break news all over the place this week, with dogs and manhunt images that looked right out of the 1930s. But it’s now. And for Iraq, news that more US forces – advisers - are headed in. One big new base, maybe more. Boots on that ground. At a Texas pool party, the race and police issue flares again. A girl, a cop, his gun. In Germany, the question: is the G7 tough enough to face down Vladimir Putin? And Jeb Bush talks tough on European tour. At home, an Obamacare defense and a very tough vote on trade. This hour On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
