Available for 29 days

Jerome Powell says he will continue to stay on as Federal Reserve Governor, even after his chairmanship ends. We look at what this means for the future of the US central banking system. Three ships have been hijacked off the coast of Somalia in the past week. We look into concerns of maritime piracy in the area, as experts warn reduced naval patrols could be creating an opening for armed groups. And we go to India where we hear how the glass industry has been suffering due to the war between the US, Israel, and Iran.
