College hoop kings will be crowned The NCAA
men's basketball championship concludes
Monday night in Minneapolis when Texas Tech faces off against the University of Virginia. What, that's not how you had your bracket drawn up?
Israel faces a critical election Israelis will head to the polls
Tuesday in what could be the toughest campaign of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long political career. The incumbent is facing multiple corruption investigations, not to mention a tough challenger, Benny Gantz, a former military chief. The outcome will definitely reverberate overseas since
Netanyahu shares a mutually beneficial friendship with President Donald Trump.
Barr testifies as Mueller report controversy grows Attorney General William Barr is scheduled to testify
Tuesday before the
House Appropriations Committee to answer questions about the Justice Department's budget requests for next year. However, he will be doing so
under increased scrutiny from Democratic leaders, who want him to do a different kind of testifying -- in front of the House Judiciary Committee, and in regard to his controversial four-page

India goes to the polls India's most important election in decades begins

elections are the largest exercise of democracy in the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Brexit approaches the cliff Does April 12 ring a bell? That's
Friday, and
it's the official Brexit cutoff date when the UK is set to crash out of the European Union if no other deal is put in place. In all likelihood, an extension will be reached sometime this week. (UK Prime Minister Theresa May wants a June 30 extension, but the EU will likely have ideas of its own.)
European leaders will meet Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium, just 48 hours before the Brexit deadline, to discuss options.
The UK is on royal baby watch Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,
are expecting their first child any day now. Let's hope for the baby's sake he or she doesn't arrive on the Brexit cutoff date. That would be a little awkward.
Democratic presidential candidates lay it on the line Do you like town halls? Great, because

Wednesday, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro will appear
Thursday. The town halls will give the candidates a chance to answer questions, discuss their platforms and differentiate themselves in a crowded Democratic field. All three will air at 10 ET on those nights.
