Week in the News  
Aired: Friday, November 16, 2007 10-11AM ET

By guest host Bob Oakes

It was a big week for politics, at home and abroad. Last night Democratic candidates rolled the political dice in Las Vegas. On Capitol Hill, Democrats are talking tough on war spending but face an uphill battle in the Senate.

In Pakistan, all bets appear to be off as events there change by the hour. The FBI has tough words for Blackwater. Police in New York shoot a teenager holding a hairbrush, not a gun.

In California, it's one bird at a time, cleaning up after a devastating oil spill. And the lights are still out on Broadway.

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