Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2020: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

IN THE PRESS – Friday, 11.12.2020: We talk about the people Time Magazine has chosen to recognise in the year 2020, largely dominated by the US presidential election, global racial justice protests and the coronavirus pandemic. But first, we look at reactions to Morocco and Israel agreeing to normalise relations. We also discuss the Trump administration's breaking with 130 years of precedent in carrying out a federal execution during the lame duck presidency. Finally, we tell you about a psychedelic drug that could be used to treat depression.
