Join host Brit Hume and FOX's Team Washington weekdays at 6 p.m. ET for "Special Report" — Find out what's happening inside the Beltway and on the world stage on tonight's show.
• President Bush says historians will see the year 2005 as a turning point in the history of Iraq and the Middle East. White House correspondent Carl Cameron reports the president focused on the significant political transformation underway in the third in a series of speeches he is delivering on U.S. policy in Iraq:
• And, in spite of the daily violence in Iraq, there is no shortage of candidates for the new Iraqi parliament, which will be called the "Representative Council." Thousands of candidates are running for fewer than 300 seats. As FOX News Correspondent Dana Lewis reports, campaigning in public in Iraq is a truly risky business.
• California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger rejects an appeal for clemency for death-row inmate Tookie Williams. Claudia Cowan has a report.
• And the Supreme Court takes on a case that could change the balance of power in Congress. Brian Wilson reports the heart of the issue is a redistricting plan engineered by Texas Republicans that helped them gain several seats in Congress.
• Then, as the end of the legislative session nears, Congress still has a considerable amount of work left to do-- and the outcome of that unfinished business will determine whether this president has much to show for his efforts this year. Correspondent Major Garrett has the details.

About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
