‘Behind the Headlines’: Love meets with Trump, Herbert aims at youth suicide, Mormon church gets new top leaders

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Dallin H. Oaks and Russell M. Nelson at a news conference in the lobby of the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, Tuesday January 16, 2018. Nelson was named the 17th president of the nearly 16 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Oaks was named First Counselor in the First Presidency.

Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, meets with President Donald Trump to discuss immigration policy — but not his “s---hole countries” remark. Gov. Gary Herbert creates a task force to address the rise in youth suicides. The LDS Church gets a new leader who changes the composition of its governing First Presidency. And, in a special pre-recorded chat, Salt Lake Tribune columnist Holly Richardson encourages women to run for political office.

At 9 a.m. Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Luke Ramseth and Peggy Fletcher Stack, Washington Bureau Chief Thomas Burr and columnist Robert Gehrke join KCPW’s Emily Means to talk about the week’s top stories.
