The White House said doctors could be exempt from the Trump administration's new $100,000 fee for high-skilled H-1B visa applications. We hear from the President of the American Medical Association. In India, everyday essentials are getting cheaper after its Prime Minister cut tax rates. We then go to Uzbekistan where new rules and measures are being implemented in weddings, ceremonies, and family events to curb spending. (Photo: Two surgeons are preparing for surgery.
