About this episode

President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences for 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row – converting them to life in prison without parole. The U.S. House Ethics Committee’s report says Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz paid thousands of dollars to women for drugs and sex. And in Syria, Christians have been advised by the churches to scale back their Christmas celebrations. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here.
