Oil prices jump as speculation rises on possible Israeli retaliation against Iran

In several cities across the US, the cost of childcare is overtaking the cost of housing, weighing heavily on families, particularly women. Plus, after a seven-year break, construction of the world's tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia has resumed.
