JetBlue looks to disrupt the world’s must lucrative air route

Plus, a row over a proposed media law in Poland limiting foreign ownership of media companies could topple the country’s government. And, Lebanon faces paralysis as fuel supplies are expected to run out in days. Hospitals are turning off air conditioning and may be forced to close, while food manufacturing is also under threat.
