The social network plans to work with fact checkers to mark 'disputed' stories. Political journalist Torsten Riecke from Germany's business daily Handelsblatt describes concerns in Germany over fake news, and Johnny Haeusler from wired.com in Berlin tells us it might be difficult for fact checkers to separate facts, lies and opinions. Also in the programme, an ambitious project has been launched to build one of the longest power lines in the world, across India. Claudio Facchin of the Swiss engineering giant ABB tells us about the plan. A survey suggests nearly half of all working dads want less stressful careers so they can care for their children. Sam Smethers from gender equality charity the Fawcett Society argues that improving the situation for men would help parents of both sexes. Plus the 大象传媒's Regan Morris reports from Los Angeles on women and their support for president-elect Trump.
