After stories of neglect and abuse, what is it like being old in China? The story of one emaciated 92-year-old woman kept in a pigsty by her family has enraged many online. We compare attitudes and experiences in China to other places in the world. Also, we hear messages from voters in The Gambia after the President-elect, Adama Barrow, told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ he is confident that direct talks can solve the political crisis in the country. The incumbent president, Yahya Jammeh, is disputing the election result and refusing to step down ahead of next week's inauguration. And - we talk about "bromance". President Obama said giving his Vice-President Joe Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom would "give the internet one last chance to talk about our bromance". What does the term mean to male friends around the world? Picture: An older man at a 100 year old teahouse in Chengdu, Sichuan province in China. Credit: Wang Zhao / AFP / Getty Images
