What precedent does Donald Trump’s first day in office set for the global far-right?

We give you the latest on Donald Trump’s first day in office and ask what far-right leaders across the globe will take away from his actions. Also in the programme: the German city of Essen seeks to impose a policy to make the unemployed do community service or lose their welfare and we discuss what the UK can learn from France when it comes to cultural funding. Plus, we speak to Gilles Carbonnier, the vice-president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, at The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
