The US economy was a focus of President Donald Trump's first State of the Union speech.

The US economy was a focus of President Donald Trump's first State of the Union speech. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Fergus Nicoll reports from Cleveland, Ohio, and we get reaction to the speech from Darrick Hamilton, an economist at the New School University in New York. Also in the programme, Facebook is banning advertising for cryptocurrencies on its social network. Rhiannon Williams is technology correspondent at the i Newspaper, and tells us what is behind the move. Plus we hear about a call for employers to do more to attract transgender staff, from Bex Stinson, head of Trans Inclusion at the charity Stonewall.
