Summary
New Yorkers breathed a sigh of relief at the news of a rent-price freeze for a million apartments. In a recent win for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a housing board approved his pledge to prevent leases from going up and we hear about what this means for both the landlords and tenants. Our market expert also explains the potential pros and cons of this. And, as Europe's heatwave persists with temperatures reaching highs of 40C, we find out whether the region's infrastructure is prepared for this kind of weather, and what we can learn from other countries with naturally warmer climates. We also speak with a dairy farmer on how this has affected their business.
