Biden's stimulus plan includes proposed hike in minimum wage to $15 an hour

Description

Among the highlights of US President-elect Joe Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus proposal are another round of direct payments to Americans and a hike in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. We take a closer look at that last proposal, which comes amid growing pressure to raise wages. Also, we look at Indian farmers' talks with the government over hotly-contested agriculture reforms. Plus, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire doubles down on his opposition to a proposed takeover of supermarket giant Carrefour.
