Elon Musk accused of meddling in foreign politics

Elon Musk has reiterated his endorsement of Germany's far-right party, Alternative for Germany.

Four wildfires are currently burning around Los Angeles. At least 16 people have been killed so far - 11 attributed to the Eaton fire and five to the Palisades, while 13 others are missing. The largest fire, Palisades, is spreading east and now threatens the wealthy neighbourhood of Brentwood - where evacuation orders have been issued.

Also on the programme: Elon Musk has reiterated his endorsement of Germany's far-right party; the rise and fall of Justin Trudeau; and we speak to Fernanda Torres, the first Brazilian to win Best Actress Golden Globe Award.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Michela Wrong, journalist and author, specialising in Africa, and Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, now visiting professor at Princeton University's School of Public and International and Affairs.
