(DHA/AP)</p></div> <p>Refugee crisis this week, with images out of Europe as heart-rending as any seen since the chaos of World War II. The three-year-old boy on the beach. The desperate throngs in Hungary. Nightmare. In the U.S., a county clerk in Kentucky who would not budge on her religion and gay marriage is now in jail. On the campaign trail, Jeb Bush takes the globes off on Donald Trump. Trump, of course, hits back. We’ve got the votes for the Iran deal, the president in Alaska, another dead policeman — and Tom Brady, cleared to play. This hour on On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.</p> <p style="text-align: right"><strong>- Tom Ashbrook</strong></p> <h4>Guests</h4> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905053543/http://www.euronews.com/author/stefan-grobe/" target="_blank">Stefan Grobe</a></strong>, Euronews’ Washington correspondent.
