2024 in Review: Bangladesh’s political earthquake

As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined 2024 at The Take. This originally aired on August 6. None of the dates, titles, or other references have been changed.

Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled to India. This happens after a month of student-led protests calling for her resignation. Nearly 300 have died as a result of clashes between protesters and security forces. What will this mean for Bangladesh?
