Then, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at California’s bid to raise the minimum wage. Afterwards, RT’s Marina Portnaya reports the latest on Puerto Rico’s debt crisis.

After the break, Edward Harrison sits down with Steve Hanke – professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University – to discuss Cuba. And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward talk about Japan.
