How corrupt is the US compared to other countries?
Sarah Chayes, an expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, says we need to talk about corruption in America.
Also, we visit a retraining programme for US steelworkers; we find out how Donald Trump鈥檚 plan to make Mexico pay for a border wall could backfire; we discover the secrets of the billion dollar hair trade industry; and we meet the guy who Venezuelans turn to when they want to know what their currency is worth -- when he鈥檚 not too busy helping customers at the hardware store he works at in the US.
