The White House today is repeating last night's claim by President Obama that the threat of force brought the Russians and Syrians to the bargaining table. Beyond that, did the speech to the nation lay out a clear path to the future? We look at the many questions that still remain. Also, Colorado recalls two senators in a blow to gun control, and reports of sexual violence have led to legal changes in India. Four men may be put to death for a notorious rape and killing last year.
