The Congressional Budget Office in Washington is warning that US government debt will likely surpass the size of the entire American economy next year; we hear from Wendy Edelberg, Director of the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution. We look into China's war on food waste and ask whether Operation Empty Plates will encourage Chinese people to throw less away. Plus Nick Collins, founding CEO of Sartorus Technologies and a member of a group called Kenosha for Trump gives us his thoughts on Joe Biden's visit to Kenosha. And for many schoolchildren across the world, lessons have moved online because of the pandemic, but millions of children remain on the wrong side of the digital divide as Szu Ping Chan discovers in her in-depth report.

We ask Brooks Barnes, Hollywood reporter for the New York Times. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by Alison Shrager, senior fellow at the Manhattan institute in New York and Patrick Barta from the Wall Street Journal in Bangkok.
