UPDATED 7:30 p.m.
Alex Goldmark here on the night shift, shifting the show around as the sun sets.
In addition to our planned coverage of the flotilla fall out (see below) around Gaza and Israel, we're also following up on statements from the White House today about possible criminal charges against BP. Would the threat of jail time be a better incentive to prevent catastrophe, or is that placing an unfair burden on individuals within a corporation? And how would it work anyway. So we should have the answers by the morning.
We're also going to hear from the Mayor of Mexico City, a potential presidential candidate, about how he would stop the drug violence and what he sees in store for immigration reform from south of the border.
And finally, for you city dwellers, we'll have recipes for healthy eating from the corner store. Find out how to stay fit and slim on the road, at gas station depots or just when you find Whole Foods is too expensive.
Anna Sale here on the day shift.
We're continuing to watch the news out of Gaza, Israel, and Washington today, as we learn more about the days and hours leading up to the violent confrontation on the supply convoy headed to Gaza. The UN Security Council today condemned the "acts," which led to nine civilian deaths. For tomorrow, we are reaching out to voices in Israel to tell the history of the blockade of Gaza and how it has been policed since 2007. We are also looking into the Free Gaza movement, its aims, and its tactics.
We just saw the news that Al and Tipper Gore are separating after 40 years of marriage. Politico reports they made the announcement to friends in an email, and an aide confirmed it. We'll look at their marriage, how it was central to Gore's pitch in his post-Lewinsky presidential bid in 2000, and the pressures of a political union.
And with any relationship, romantic or otherwise, there comes a time when everyone comes up against a singular pain: admitting you're wrong. But "Being Wrong" author Kathryn Schulz says there's value to slogging through it. What's right about being wrong? A lot, says Shulz. We'll talk with her tomorrow and we want to know now: How easy is it for you to admit to being wrong?
