Elections happened in Honduras on Nov. 24, but more than a week later results are inconclusive due to suspected fraud. We discussed with election monitors. Then, 'Black Pete' is a Dutch holiday character typically portrayed in black face. A representative of 'Zwarte Piet is Racism' will discuss the controversy surrounding him this year. Then, the co-founder and CEO of Bookwallah will fill us in on her latest projects in Mumbai, India.
