GLOBAL PULSE: Once & Future News: 2009-2010 (12/23/2009)

(December 23, 2009)
The year 2009 may be coming to an end, but some news events are far from over. This special end-of-year half-hour Global Pulse program digs deeper into the most significant stories of 2009. In the daily welter of news coverage, sometimes what will truly affect the future can only be seen from a distance. We look at how broadcasters around the world have presented divergent views on key events. Original interviews and clips from the most astute observers round out the picture.

CHINA AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: The historic financial economic collapse at the start of the year scrambled the long-standing hierarchy of power, and China has emerged as the worlds new leader. Original interview with Wayne Silby, Co-Founder and Chairman of Calvert Investments and advisor to Grameen Bank on China.

REMEMBERING PAKISTAN:
President Obamas new Afghanistan surge mirrors the troop increase from February 09 -- as does the rise in violence across the border, in Pakistan.

MEXICO AT WAR:
Except for the few times violence has exploded in the U.S., American news has paid too little attention to the escalating war between organized criminal gangs and the Mexican government.

IRAN'S STRANGE COURSE:
A deeply flawed election that challenged Irans theocratic régime was followed by a newly aggressive and oddly contradictory policy on nuclear enrichment. Original interview with Professor Mohsen Milani - Chair, Department of Government & International Affairs, University of South Florida.
