US election conversations: Kamala Harris

Throughout the election campaign, we have been bringing Americans together in conversation. There is much interest in Kamala Harris, who has become the first woman, and the first black and Asian-American, to be vice-president elect. We hear from Jamaican-American and Indian-American women in the US.

We continue to get many listener questions about both the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, and also Joe Biden’s victory. So our medical experts and colleagues in the US provide some answers.

Some countries are officially choosing to remain silent about the US President and Vice-President elect. We hear what is being said Russia, Brazil and China.

And after the discovery of the Covid-19 vaccine, which is more effective than previously hoped, we analyse some of the disinformation and conspiracies that are being shared on social media.
