The Pentagon has confirmed that President Trump would further slash the number of US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Those in Afghanistan will be almost halved, to two thousand five hundred - Iraq will have the same number after a smaller reduction.

Also in the programme - Facebook and Twitter bosses were grilled in the Senate over US election actions.

Plus - prisoners in El Paso, Texas, were spotted moving bodies of deceased Covid-19 patients for which they were paid $2 an hour. Hundred of thousands of prisoners who work get paid no more than a few cents an hour. Many get nothing. And most are working for private companies, including prisons themselves, which are profiting hugely from their work. We take a deeper look at the legal, social and ethical framework around prison labour in the US with Genevieve Le Baron, professor of Politics at the University of Sheffield and the Co-Chair of Yale University鈥檚 Modern Slavery Working Group.

And - with the fourth season of the Crown underway, we look at the importance of royal fashion.

Throughout the programme we are joined by guests David Kuo in Singapore and Erin Delmore in the US.
