On his first trip to the Middle East since taking office, President Obama met with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah today.  What can each do for the other when it comes to Iran, Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the price of oil? Also, Britain's expense account scandal claims a fourth minister, and the Chinese government tries to re-write the history of Tiananmen Square.
