World News Podcast - February 21st, 2012

In tonight’s episode, the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke the 13,000 mark for the first time since May of 2008—before the financial crisis, but what does it mean for your savings? Thousands of Muslims took to the streets of Afghanistan, angry about an apparent burning of old copies of the Koran by the American military. ABC’s Jake Tapper explores just who the wealthy donors are that can now donate as much as they want to political organizations. It’s low pay and long hours at the factory in China where Apple builds its widely successful electronics, and now reports are raising more questions about the workers at these plants. Finally, ABC’s Dr. Richard Besser discusses a ground-breaking new study that says heart attacks are a leading cause of death among women, and not just men.
