Week In The News: Cleveland Escape, Military Sexual Assault, Mark Sanford

The Cleveland horrors. Dow 15,000. More sexual assault in the U.S. military. Mark Sanford. Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

A week of horrors, and escape.  In Cleveland, three women blessedly free after a decade in a house of horrors.  Just grotesque.  And in the US military, a big survey finds more sexual abuse than ever – and the Air Force chief of sexual assault prevention is charged with sexual assault.

Abroad, Israel hits Syria.  Moscow and Washington talk.  Hackers go on a global ATM thieving spree.  We’ve got Benghazi back in the news.  Mark Sanford back in politics.  Burial for a Boston bomber.  Immigration moves.

This hour, On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
