Summary
The U.S. Senate is back in session but two of its most powerful Republicans are not, leaving its majority stretched thin after the death of Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell's absence due to ill health. A fire tears through a Bangkok pub killing dozens. In some of Havana's apartment blocks, when the lights go out, so does the water. The Iran war silences the country’s musicians. And actor Sam Neill has died. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast here. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here. Listen to the Reuters Econ World podcast here.
