Will Europe overcome its economic and political challenges? Can Islamic State be stopped? And what happens if the United States Congress walks away from the Iran nuclear deal?
This special edition of The Heat looks into these stories and more.
The news has been coming fast and furious – from China to Cuba, the Middle East, Europe and beyond. To help dive into these issues, The Heat put together a distinguished panel of current and former journalists.
