Harvey was the big story this week: too big to follow completely, sometimes. Let’s fill in what you might have missed, and look ahead. Joining us for a special edition of the domestic news roundup are Manu Raju, senior political reporter for CNN, Gail Delaughter, a reporter for Houston Public Media, Sue Lincoln, news director of 89.3 WRKF in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Julián Aguilar, politics and border affairs reporter for the Texas Tribune. Then, we discuss the top international stories of the week with Michael Goldfarb, host of the podcast First Rough Draft of History, P.J. Crowley, former assistant secretary of state and author of “Red Line: American Foreign Policy in a Time of Fractured Politics and Failing States,” and Simon Marks, president and chief correspondent of Feature Story News, an independent broadcast agency with bureaus in the Americas, Europe and Africa.
