Democratic race heads to New Hampshire

We look at competing visions for the Democratic Party ahead of New Hampshire's primary.

We look at competing visions for the Democratic Party ahead of New Hampshire's primary. Democrats in the state head to the polls to select their presidential candidate on Tuesday, and Michael Linden of the non-partisan think tank the Roosevelt Institute tells us all the candidates want the rich to pay more in tax. We hear about the competing visions on offer for healthcare from Jared Bernstein, who was an economic advisor to Vice President Joe Biden, and has been an unofficial advisor on his campaign this year. And we consider whether there are parallels worth considering between the Democratic primary race, and the way Britain's Labour party performed at the last UK general election in 2019, with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Emily Maitlis. Also in the programme, more than 30 heads of state have been meeting at the annual African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Emmanuel Igunza discusses the economic issues that have been on the agenda. Plus the Indian ride-hailing firm Ola is launching in London to try and compete with the likes of Uber. Alison Griswold is a reporter for Quartz, specialising in the sharing economy, and considers the firm's prospects.
