Coming up, two of France's former prime ministers reach a truce after divisions threaten to tear their party in two.
We'll examine the state of the Renaissance group as it struggles under internal and external pressures.
Also coming up, China changes economic tack to try to rebalance the books.
We'll ask how and if it'll work.
Plus.

We'll be in New York to hear how close races outside the city could shape control of Congress.
