US President-elect Biden announces plans

Joe Biden has announced he plans to sign dozens of executive orders on his first day as US president, immediately reversing some of Donald Trump's most contentious policies. The measures include lifting a ban on travel from a group of mainly Muslim countries and rejoining the Paris climate accord.

Also in the programme: Germany's ruling party elects a new leader and how Italy's fight against the mafia is back in the spotlight.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Maria Margaronis, London-based writer and broadcaster and Peter Neumann, Professor of Security Studies at King's College London and founding director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation.
