Plus: Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” the VIX, leaps after Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear program and military leadership. And the world’s largest meatpacker makes Its NYSE debut. Zoe Kuhlkin hosts.
In the past few years, as street drug makers increasingly cut fentanyl into drugs like cocaine, there’s been a rise in overdoses among people who aren’t addicted to opioids. Nashville, in particular, has seen overdoses rise among tourists. The city has worked to get overdose reversal drugs into downtown bars and music venues. We'll learn what the uptake process was like. Also: a bond market checkup and a pullback in corporate sponsorship at Pride events.
Israel's military say they struck dozens of military targets, including nuclear targets in different areas of Iran.
Iran says the attacks by Israel are a declaration of war and there are warnings of a strong retaliatory response by Iran to the attacks which killed numerous military officials and scientists.
Also in the programme: Investigators in India have found the on-board video recorder from the Air India plane which crashed on Thursday, killing more than 240 people. We'll report from the crash site in Ahmedabad.
