About this episode

A new wildfire north of Los Angeles has exploded to 9,400 acres, forcing evacuations. The global business elite at the World Economic Forum in Davos brace for Trump’s video address and recalibrate in the face of his DEI rollbacks. Trump steps up his immigration crackdown, warning city and state officials not to interfere, while his push to use tariffs to pay for tax

cuts faces opposition in Congress. And Syria's new authorities are using Islamic teachings to train a fledgling police force, a move officers say aims to instil a sense of morality as they race to fill a security vacuum.
