US inflation eases

Available for over a year

Falls to energy prices, in particular petrol, contributed to the smallest increase in more than a year. We speak to consumers and economist about how it's being felt on the ground. We find out about the boardroom battle taking over Disney, as activist investor Nelson Peltz tries to force his way onto the company's board.
