US Treasury Secretary Boycotts Saudi Summit

The US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has withdrawn from ‘Davos in the Desert’ in Riyadh amid allegations that Saudi Arabia murdered missing journalist Jamal Kashoggi. He joins a number of prominent business leaders and EU ministers who have also pulled out. We'll hear the latest on that story. Also in the show: We hear about Marbella Ibarra, the Mexican Women’s football pioneer found murdered. And we hear about the backlash on social media after French President Macron spoke negatively about family planning in Africa.
