HEALTH CARE – With the stage now set for a final vote in the U.S. Senate on Health Care before Christmas, our Health Correspondent Betty Ann Bowser will have the latest. Then, Gwen Ifill gets reaction from two prominent voices on Capitol Hill. IRAN – Protestors returned to the streets of Iran today, demanding reforms. The funeral of a prominent dissident cleric proved to be the catalyst for the latest anti-regime demonstrations. Margaret Warner reports today’s events, and explores the next move for opposition figures both inside Iran, and in exile. DC SCHOOLS – As a dramatic year in the history of Washington DC’s schools comes to an end, we’ll begin running a special series of encore reports by John Merrow, our Special Correspondent for Education. John has cataloged the battle to improve DC’s public schools ever since the appointment of Michelle Rhee as Education Chancellor for the District of Columbia. Tonight, a story that first aired shortly after her appointment, in which Rhee describes the enormity of the challenges that she faces. There are additional podcasts from Merrow’s reporting on his Learning Matters website. COPENHAGEN POST-MORTEM – Ray Suarez is back in the United States, following his week-long visit to the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change. Tonight, he’ll talk to Jeffrey Brown about the behind-the-scenes events that led to the summit’s hotly-debated conclusion. WEB-ONLY – Our web exclusives include a Rundown conversation with Ray about his adventures in Denmark; extended excerpts of Margaret’s interview with the former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who runs a dissident message board from northern Virginia; a blog from education correspondent John Merrow of stories to watch in 2010; and a special feature about how the health care reform could affect people with different jobs and different kinds of insurance. All that, plus the other news of the day, including the latest news on the recovery of the “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign, stolen from Auschwitz a week ago. That’s all ahead on tonight’s PBS NewsHour, anchored tonight by Jeffrey Brown and Gwen Ifill. We hope you’ll join us. We're not going anywhere.
