This week’s agenda: peace talks; Bishop Jones; China and Japan relations deteriorate

Israel’s partial freeze on settlement buliding in the West Bank ended last night, and Marcus Mabry, associate national editor for The New York Times, and Charlie Herman, economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC Radio, discuss how this will affect peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. They’ll also take a look at what’s ahead this week for Bishop Eddie Long, who has been accused of trying to sexually seduce four teenage boys; President Obama’s continued conversations with middle-class Americans; how China and Japan’s relationship is rapidly deteriorating, and more.
