This week, CNN=G20 as the President made his first overseas trip to meet with foreign leaders in London. It seemed like about half of the coverage was about the choice of gifts, the First Lady's wardrobe, and of course, The Hug. (If the Queen says there was no breach of protocol, there wasn't. Her game, her rules; move along.)
On Tuesday, soon-to-be-based-in-London Zain Verjee joined Roland Martin to preview where the President would be traveling on this trip:
Zain's segment segued into a chat with Richard Quest about what was expected to happen at the meetings:
Wednesday, Nic Robertson covered the protestors in the streets of London, and spoke to Roland about it later:
Nic also joined Anderson Cooper at the Tower Bridge remote location that night to recap the protests:
On Thursday, Roland again spoke to Richard about the 10-page agreement released by the G-20 members today:
Meanwhile, on Thursday Wolf Blitzer sat down for a lengthy, wide-ranging discussion with The New York Times' Thomas Friedman. The segment that aired on Thursday's TSR covered relations with Iran, Israel/Palestine, and Afghanistan:
Friday's segment was about the "G-2" (China and the US), the current economic mess, and Friedman's contention that Energy Technology is the way of the future:

Thanks for the great post Cyn...I especially enjoyed TF :)...I actually missed that part of the interview...The one I saw was where he discussed prospects for the mideast peace process...TF certainly has his brain working overtime...He covers so many topics and then brilliantly at times, connects them all.
I want to send Arwa Damon big congratulations on her 2009 National Headliner Award win for the work she did on:
Documentary or Series of Reports First Place: CNN
“Special Investigations Unit: On Deadly Ground”
All the work Arwa has done in Iraq over so many years is incredible.
I so love Richard Quest! I wish he was on more.
Interesting interview with Thomas Friedman. I've enjoyed reading (at least two of) his books.
