The Heat: Reporters’ round table on top stories

The Heat

Cuba continues to normalize relations with the world. And China-U.S. relations continue to evolve after a visit from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Washington, DC.

 The U.S. presidential race is heating up too. And the Zika virus and its impact on Brazil and Latin America is growing. We explore some of the biggest stories with our reporters’ round table.

Once a month on The Heat, we sit down with a panel of our fellow journalists and take a look at some headline grabbing stories. Our group for this discussion are:

  • Cristina Escobar, a Cuban journalist.
  • Wang Guan is Chief Political Correspondent for CCTV’s Mandarin service.
  • Sam Cowie is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in Al Jazeera and Deutsche Welle.
  • Richard Fowler is host of his own nationally syndicated radio show, The Richard Fowler Show.
