Hosted by

The Bush White House today warns of economic "calamity" if Congress won't bail out Wall Street, but Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson are facing a skeptical Congress. Also, an unmanned American drone has crashed in Pakistan, where anger rages over this weekend's terrorist bombing and the Army is battling militants. We hear from the UN and from Islamabad. On Reporter's Notebook, North Korea says it's about to resume its nuclear weapons program. What happened to progress toward disarmament?
