Tornadoes reduce US towns to 'matchsticks'
Search for survivors after tornadoes kill dozens of people in six states.
Emergency teams in six US states are continuing to search for survivors following one of the largest outbreaks of tornadoes in US history.
Also in the programme: Afghanistan's drug trade is booming amid its crippled economy; and more trouble for the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, as pictures emerge of him appearing to host a Christmas quiz last year, in apparent breach of Covid rules.
Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Stephanie Baker, senior writer at Bloomberg News based in London, and the architect and satirist, Karl Sharro.
