5p: Madison, the Middle East & Mr. Baseball

from Wisconsin's Afternoon News

This hour begins with the latest from Madison as city officials move to clear protesters from major intersections and public spaces following weeks of demonstrations tied to the recent shooting. Adam Roberts breaks down the impact on traffic, public safety, emergency response, and the growing debate over how the city should balance protest rights with public access and safety. CBS News’ Major Garrett then joins to discuss the latest developments involving Iran, the prospects for a diplomatic agreement, concerns about military readiness and munitions supplies, and what history tells us about adversaries who seek to outlast their opponents. Plus, a TMJ4 Weather Update and a replay of our conversation with documentary producer Barry Poltermann and Milwaukee Business Journal’s Mark Kass about the new Bob Uecker documentary and the enduring legacy of Wisconsin’s beloved Mr. Baseball.
