Washington Week with Gwen Ifill

“Gun Laws/Politics of Sequestration/Cyber Attacks”

This episode is part of PBS "After Newtown" initiative, a series of documentaries, news reports and public affairs programs providing thought-provoking context to the national conversation about gun violence in America. Molly Ball and Sari Horwitz report on the renewed push for tougher gun laws at the state and federal levels in the wake of the Newtown school shooting and the deepening divide over gun rights. John Harwood analyzes the politics of sequestration and the truths and consequences associated with congressionally-mandated spending cuts scheduled to take effect next week if a budget agreement is not reached. David Sanger has the latest on the cyber attacks against U.S. companies, news organizations and government entities allegedly conducted by China and the chances for further "cyber espionage" of U.S. power systems, air traffic, and other infrastructure.
