Another set of cheques will be sent out to US citizens, to help them through the pandemic – along with a set of other measures to help out the country, as coronavirus cases remain high. We look at the deal between the UK and the EU that has been struck to enable Brexit, and what it means for trade between the two in the years ahead. And what do you remember of 2020? The BBC’s Nisha Patel speaks with a cartoonist who has put it all in to a book.We discuss all this live with Nicole Childers, the executive producer for the Marketplace programme on American Public Media in Los Angeles, and Nisha Gopalan, editor for Bloomberg News in Hong Kong.
