From PRI, Public Radio International and KCRW Santa Monica, this is To the Point.

He's facing tough audiences at home and abroad. Can Bush score during his lame duck years?

I'm Sarah Terry sitting in for Warren Olney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International, a daily look at the issues Americans care about most. President Bush is in Europe for the G8 summit, which starts tomorrow, but he's already facing criticism for his proposal on global warming. With new leaders in Europe, will Bush be able to form new political alliances?

ratings down. Can the president achieve domestic political victories? On reporter's notebook,

the war that changed the map of the Middle East, we take a look back at the six-day Arab-Israeli war, which started 40

Santa Monica and from the Public Radio International Program Fund, whose contributors include the Ford
