  Washington Week [#4920]
  * This will be a working weekend for the Senate as lawmakers hope to begin debate on a sweeping $849 billion plan to overhaul the nation's health care system. The legislation would require most people to have health insurance but would allow states to opt out of a proposed government-run insurance plan. It will be an arduous struggle to get the 2074-page bill passed for a number of reasons, not all of which are political. Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine will explain why plus how the controversy this week over when women should get mammograms could have an impact on the healthcare debate.
  * President Obama said one of the primary goals of his trip to 4 Asian nations was to try and usher in "a new era of engagement with the world based on mutual interests and mutual respect." But during his final stop at a US military base in South Korea, he took a decidedly sharper tone when he urged the leaders of North Korea and Iran to take "serious steps" to abandon their nuclear weapons programs. Critics say he returns to the White House with little to show from his 7-day trip. David Sanger of The New York Times will take a closer look at whether President Obama made progress on a number of issues including censorship, human rights and climate change.
  * Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan this week and came away saying she was pleased with Afghan President Hamid Karzai's pledge to cleanup corruption within his government. In addition to attending Karzai's second inauguration, Clinton met with General Stanley McChrystal who is awaiting a decision from President Obama about his request for 40,000 more troops. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times will report on how an exit strategy and Karzai's ability to tackle corruption and train Afghan people to takeover security forces over the next few years are weighing on President Obama as he contemplates the best way forward in Afghanistan.
  * Even before Sarah Palin's memoir hit shelves this week, it soared to the bestseller list. The former Alaska governor has become a Republican rock star doing TV interviews and attracting thousands of fans to her book signings. But many, including some conservatives, continue to harbor doubts about her political future and how formidable a candidate she may be should she run for president in 2012. John Dickerson of Slate Magazine will examine the message Palin delivers in her book and what career options she may be considering. duration 26:46   CC STEREO TVRE

  Secret Family of Jesus
  Professor Robert Beckford investigates the "conspiracy" that author Dan Brown missed in The Da Vinci Code. The program traces back to the beginnings of Christianity and uncovers a conspiracy that challenges the religion's foundations. It's the story of the people closest to Jesus: those who shared his bloodline. Jesus' real human family -brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles and nephews - was a powerful force in shaping the early and vital Christian story, and his bloodline survived for at least 300 years after Jesus' death. The Church effectively airbrushed Jesus' family out of history - even excising them from the Bible. At the film's climax, Dr. Beckford visits Rome to confront today's Vatican experts with his findings concerning Jesus' family. Even after 2000 years, the Church still finds it difficult to accept the importance and strategic significance of Jesus' family. duration 51:56   CC STEREO TVPG
