Yesterday, the Department of Justice reached a settlement with the California-based City National Bank over accusations of mortgage "redlining" in Latino and Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles County. The settlement is the largest in U.S. history, clocking in at $31 million. The storm in California is helping the drought situation, but there's now talk of improving the state's stormwater storage system. And, the BBC's Ben Chu reports on the dire economic and political situation in Sri Lanka.
