President-elect Biden makes first choices for new cabinet

Available for over a year

President-elect Joe Biden has introduced the first people he has chosen for his cabinet, among them the first female director of national intelligence and the first Latino head of homeland security. We discuss how the appointments, if confirmed, are likely to be received, and what significance they hold for Biden's administration. The Dow Jones market index reached a record-breaking 30,000 points today. But how significant is that? We speak to Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading in New Jersey. Our regular workplace commentator, Stephanie Hare, offers tips for people who are losing their job during the pandemic. Also in the programme, we hear how many musicians are receiving no income from streaming services, as guitarist Tom Gray, founder of the Broken Record campaign, explains. Sasha Twining is joined throughout the programme by Nicole Childers, executive producer of Marketplace on American public radio, who's in LA and by Mehmal Sarfraz, co-founder of The Current PK and writer for The Hindu newspaper, from Lahore.
