Tensions escalate in Ethiopia

There's been a major escalation of the conflict in Ethiopia, with rockets fired into neighbouring Eritrea by the rebel Tigrayan authorities. We'll hear the latest reports about the fighting and about the numbers of civilians fleeing.

Also, thousands of people have marched through the streets of Washington in support of President Trump's unfounded claims of fraud in the US election. We'll discuss the psychology behind Mr Trump's refusal to concede.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Chitra Nagarajan, a writer and human rights activist specialising in Nigeria - now based in Berlin; and Andrew Mueller, Australian author and broadcaster on Monocle 24 Radio based in London.
