Obama Requests War Powers, Ceasefire Begins in Ukraine Washington Week with The Atlantic
President Obama has formally asked Congress for war powers to fight Islamic State militants, but his request is being met with resistance.

And in Ukraine, a ceasefire deal negotiated by European leaders takes effect this weekend.
