US inauguration conversations: Black Lives Matter
We speak to African Americans to find out what they want from Joe Biden's presidency.
This week ahead of the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden, we鈥檙e reconnecting to Americans we鈥檝e spoken to over the past year, to find out what their hopes are for the next four years. Today we speak to African Americans to find out what they want from Mr Biden's presidency and how they think Black Lives Matter can move forward.
Also, in France people have been using the hashtag #MeTooInceste to give testimony of sexual abuse by relatives. This comes after one of France's most high-profile intellectuals and media personalities, was accused of sexually abusing his stepson. We'll speak to a reporter in Paris who's been following what's happening.
And, 'Blue Monday' has been trending on Twitter. That's because the 18th of January is known as 'the most depressing day of the year' by some. But is there any science behind this? Or is it a completely false concept? We'll speak to our correspondent who's been investigating.
