The Diane Rehm Show

A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week's top international news stories: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta makes his first trip to Iraq to address attacks on U.S. troops, the assassination of Ahmed Walid Karzai leaves questions about how his death will affect U.S. operations, and police in India try to determine who was behind Tuesday's terrorist bombing that killed seventeen people in Mumbai.

Diane and her guests will discuss the week's top international stories, including the Libyan rebels' push toward Tripoli and a possible exit for Muammar Gadhafi, an explosive U.K. phone hacking scandal that has media mogul Rupert Murdoch reeling, and the story behind Hugo Chavez's surprise return to Venezuela.

A panel of journalists joins Diane to talk about reaction to the planned austerity measures in Greece, a deadly Taliban attack on a hotel in Kabul, and Egyptian military efforts to tamp down the largest riots in Cairo since Mubarak's fall.
