US media reports president-elect Joe Biden is to pick Janet Yellen as treasury secretary. Ms Yellen was previously chair of the US central bank the Federal Reserve, and we get perspectives on what her appointment would mean for the US economy from Alicia Munnell, professor of management sciences at Boston College's Carroll School of Management, and Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics at Harvard University, both of whom know Janet Yellen well. Also in the programme, Spain's government has approved a vaccine strategy that would see a substantial part of the population covered within six months of a programme expected to start in January. Inigo Fernandez de Mesa is a former deputy finance minister in Spain, and vice-president of the country's main business association CEOE, and discusses how his members are feeling about the future. And professor Nuria Mas is a health economist at the IESE Business School in Barcelona, and member of the Spanish central bank's governing council, who gives us her thoughts on the country's biggest challenge. Our regular workplace commentator, Stephanie Hare, offers tips for people who are losing their job during the pandemic. Plus, as the winners of this year's gaming industry Oscars, the Golden Joystick Awards, are unveiled, we hear what impact it has on the industry from Daniel Dawkins, who is one of the event's organisers.
