Losing an hour of sleep on Daylight Saving is universally hated, so the government may end it forever — but Daylight Saving Time may be the greatest human hack of all time.

Russia bombs a theater being used as a shelter. As gas prices moderate, diesel increases, straining truckers. Jussie Smollett released from jail. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.
Last May, the Palisades fire ripped through the Santa Monica Mountains. About 1,000 people were put under mandatory evacuation orders, and about 500 homes were threatened by the flames. As that emergency was unfolding, the guy in charge of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s operations center overseeing the fire was allegedly intoxicated. That’s according to an investigation commissioned by city officials.
The package by the White House includes missiles to take out tanks and bring down Russian aircraft — as well as drones that the U.S. hasn't provided previously.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed global prices, which were already climbing, even higher. As America’s central bank raises its target interest rate for the first time in four years, we break down the challenges facing central bankers. In the fourth instalment of our French election series, we look at how the conflict has changed the race. And Russia’s seizure of the Chernobyl nuclear plant ends three decades of scientific research.
Today, I’m excited to share with you a preview from a new podcast I’ve been enjoying and think you will, too.
You may know Jacob Goldstein as the former host of the Planet Money podcast. Now, he’s hosting a new show called What’s Your Problem? It’s a show about technology and business, where visionaries talk about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. You’ll get to know the people who are trying to figure out how to do things no one on the planet knows how to do.
And, like Code Story, you’ll learn about the critical moments it takes to change an industry.
In this preview, Jacob talks with Keenan Wyrobek, the co-founder of a drone company called Zipline. The company has been building and deploying drones in Rwanda and Ghana for years. Now they're trying to solve a surprisingly hard problem: How do they make drone delivery work in the United States? I hope you enjoy it. You can hear Keenan’s full story, and more episodes of What’s Your Problem?, wherever you get your podcasts.
