Summary
Today, has Donald Trump outlined his plans for a future trade war once he re-enters the White House? The President Elect has said that he’ll sign an executive order on day one of his presidency imposing a 25% tariff on "all products" entering the US from neighbours Mexico and Canada, until they clamp down on drugs and illegal migrants crossing the border. Adam speaks to economics editor Faisal Islam about that and major news for the UK car industry.
Plus, we examine new plans by the government to encourage people to get back to work. They say that young people must take up offers of a job or training, or lose their benefits. Adam is joined by Ben Chu policy and analysis correspondent for BBC Verify.
