Most representatives of the foreign press have been expelled from Iran. Who's covering the story now, and how trustworthy is the reporting? And what are the differences between the Western media's coverage of the protests versus the Arab world's coverage? The Takeaway discusses the issue with two Iranian-American journalists. Kouross Esmaeli is an Iranian-American independent journalist and filmmaker who has worked for Al-Jazeera English. Ramin Talaie is an Iranian-American freelance photojournalist with dual citizenship. He is just back from covering the June 12th elections and the unrest there for Bloomberg and The New York Times.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an 8 to 1 ruling yesterday to exempt a small Texas town from government oversight of their voting process. In a case that could have gutted the key provisions of the historic Voting Rights Act, the law designed to prevent racial discrimination at the polls, the Justices instead issued a very narrow exemption. The Takeaway looks at whether Chief Justice John Roberts is maneuvering in order to build bigger majorities and avoid 5-4 decisions. To help answer that question and to discuss the ruling we turn to Nate Persily, professor of law and political science at Columbia University.

Iran's top electoral body said it found "no major fraud" in the June 12 presidential election and will not annul the results. This announcement effectively closed the door to the vote do-over sought by angry opposition supporters alleging systematic vote-rigging. To put the current protests in context, we turn to Sadeq Saba, the BBC's Iranian Affairs Analyst, to help explain the latest, the history of protests in Iran and the possible long-lasting impact of the contested election.

This morning the Asian stock markets are reflecting yesterday's hiccup on Wall Street. Key indexes in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong all slumped this morning, a gloomy market mood that was not helped by discouraging words from the World Bank yesterday, which said the U.S. and European economies would shrink. Should these new numbers make us nervous? Russell Padmore, BBC Business News presenter, joins us with his report.

As the Obama administration and Congress design a blueprint for our next healthcare system, The Takeaway is looking at possible models that are already in place. President Obama often refers to electronic medical records as one way to improve care while cutting costs. That's something the Veterans Administration is already doing. Since the 1970s, the V.A. has digitized its system to coordinate medical care, which now serves more than 5 million veterans. Joining us to talk about what lawmakers can draw from the V.A. is Phillip Longman. He is a Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation and author of Best Care Anywhere: Why VA Health Care is Better Than Yours . He also has an article on Health IT coming out in the July issue of The Washington Monthly. For a practitioner’s perspective we are joined by Peter Ubel. He is a physician and behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan. He has practiced medicine in the VA system for 15 years.

For a different view of the Veteran's Administration's practices, read Walt Bogdanich's article, At V.A. Hospital, a Rogue Cancer Unit, in The New York Times.

To help put the unrest in Iran into perspective, we turn to three different voices from the Iranian and Iranian-American community. Kelly Niknejad is editor and founder of the Iranian news website Tehran Bureau, Amir Farokhi, an Iranian-American attorney in Atlanta, and "Nahzi" an Iranian artist who wishes to remain anonymous because she will soon return to Iran, all join The Takeaway to discuss what news sources they trust, and what their hopes are for Iran.

Singer Chris Brown plead guilty yesterday to felony assault charges. Prosecutors say he badly beat his ex-girlfriend (pop star Rihanna Fenty) in February. Today on The Takeaway we are exploring the intersection between youth, abuse, race and culture with Elizabeth Mendez Berry, a freelance journalist who wrote an acclaimed article in Vibe magazine, Love Hurts, on partner abuse in the world of Hip-Hop. Also joining the conversation is Latoya Peterson, editor of the blog Racialicious.

In the past, athletes involved in high-impact sports such as boxing or football would refer to the periods their brains went dim as "punch drunk." They'd find themselves thinking slowly, forgetting directions, suffering headaches. Now researchers think the symptoms may be indicative of a greater problem: the rare disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Athletes may not be the only victims— soldiers are also vulnerable. Joining The Takeaway with more is Chris Nowinski, director of the Sports Legacy Institute, a Boston-based nonprofit that has partnered with Boston University to study the long term affects of brain injuries like concussions on athletes and soldiers.

Read more about the repercussions of brain injuries in today's New York Times article, A Chance for Clues to Brain Injury in Combat Blasts.

What really happens to the mountains of computers at recycling centers throughout the U.S.? In the upcoming documentary “Digital Dumping Ground,” Frontline World Producer Peter Klein and a team of graduate journalism students from the University of British Columbia follow the trail of “e-waste” that leads to Ghana, China and India. Among the locals who act as e-waste guides in these countries is Jim Puckett, an environmentalist who discovered a startling center of e-waste —Guiyu, China, where the residents suffer some of the highest dioxin and lead poisoning in the world. And in Ghana, much of the e-waste is actually used by scam artists who take personal banking and credit card information off of the hard drives. Peter Klein joins The Takeaway to talk about his documentary.

Watch FRONTLINE/World’s Digital Dumping Ground at 9 p.m. ET tonight on PBS (check local listings).

Two subway trains collided in Washington D.C. yesterday, killing seven people. It's being called the worst metro accident in the city's history. The details currently known are that during rush hour on the red line, one of the system's busiest lines, one train ran into the back of a stopped train. The National Transportation Safety Board warned city officials that the type of train involved in the accident needed to be retrofitted for safety, but the city was unable to follow through with the recommendation. Ian Urbina, a reporter for our partner The New York Times, is following the story.
