Capitol riots: Security failures

We discuss the events at the US Capitol

The US Congress has certified Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election, hours after Trump supporters stormed the building. We hear a conversation about the security failures and police tactics. Many activists have pointed out that police response was very different from the massive show of police force in place in Black Lives Matter demonstrations last year.

We have also gathered messages from people around the world reacting to what has taken place in the US capital.

We discuss the latest research and talking points about the coronavirus pandemic with Dr Swapneil Parekh, an infectious disease researcher at the Kasturba Hospital in Mumbai.
