US election: Electoral college vote
Members of the Electoral College will formally decide who will be the next President
In the US, state electors will finally cast their Electoral College votes formalising Joe Biden’s win. We explain the process and hear whether Republicans now think this is the end of the road for President Trump who has been challenging the election results.
We look at the coronavirus outbreak in one of the worst affected countries, Brazil. We hear from a doctor treating Covid patients there and discuss how President Bolsonaro’s handling of the outbreak has complicated the preparedness in the country.
We also talk about the roll-out of vaccines in the US and other coronavirus stories with Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University.
We find out about the situation in Nigeria where gunmen are believed to be holding schoolchildren hostage in north-western Katsina state.
