As Brittney Griner - the US basketball star freed in a Russian prisoner swap comes home - we speak to the twin brother of Paul Whelan - the American left behind in a Russian penal colony. Also on the programme: Prime Minster Rishi Sunak has thanked the army for stepping in during the Christmas strike period - but what do soldiers think about missing their holidays? And sexual harassment in public is to become a criminal offence in England. We hear from Conservative MP Caroline Nokes who is Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee.
