Preparations ramp up for the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 47th president of the United States. We hear from our correspondents across Washington D.C., and speak to the singer performing the national anthem in today’s ceremony, and to a member of Donald Trump’s transition team.
Also in the programme: on day two of the ceasefire in Gaza, we hear from released Israeli hostages and released Palestinian detainees, And as much-needed aid finally enters the Strip, why has it taken so long to get there?
