US economic slowdown

Available for over a year

America's economy starts to slow down amid fears of a growing global crisis - we ask: is it time to panic? Japan's central bank governor stuns investors by imposing a negative interest rate - and we assess if anything will wake up the Japanese economy. And the millions of Americans who still do not have internet access get online - the digital divide in the US is attracting a multi-million dollar initiative in New York, to bridge the gap. Finally, we look at the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and how dangerously high levels of lead are affecting school children in the region. All this with guest Cathy Alexander, a research fellow on sustainability at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
