BBC World Service - World Business Report, President-elect Biden makes first choices for new cabinet

Joe Biden has introduced the first people he has chosen for his cabinet.

President-elect Joe Biden has introduced the first people he has chosen for his cabinet. The announcements follow US media reports Janet Yellen will be selected 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. Also in the programme, Spain's government has approved a vaccine strategy that would see a substantial part of the population immunised by June next year. 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. And we hear how many musicians are receiving no income from streaming services, as guitarist Tom Gray, founder of the Broken Record campaign, explains. .
