When Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney stepped onto the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos , no-one expected him to set the world on fire. His speech went viral, as he talked of the rupture to the rules-based order and called on middle powers to step up. “If we’re not at the table, we're on the menu,” he said. He never mentioned Donald Trump’s name, but his message was clear. He was there to garner support from countries equally alarmed by a United States gone rogue. His speech came fresh off the back of a visit to Xi Jinping in China and he was keen to sell Canada’s virtues to the Davos crowd as well. So what is he up to? Guest:  Ian Austen, The New York Times Canada CorrespondentProducer: Catherine Zengerer

On January 24, nurse Alex Pretti was protesting the presence of immigration officers in Minnesota when he was detained and surrounded by Border Patrol guards. Two guards shot Pretti in the back, killing him on the street. Pretti was 37, and Trump officials initially blamed him for his own death. Bystander video contradicted the official accounts, and now Trump has begun to distance himself from the killing. Will Pretti's killing force Trump to alter his aggressive tactics? Will there be more violence?Guest: Bruce Shapiro, contributing editor with The Nation magazine and Director of the Global Center for Journalism and Trauma

It’s 125 years since the death of Oscar Wilde. The famous playwright and author died alone in a French hotel in 1900. Since that time, so much has been written about his wit, prose and character. Some of it fact, some of it rumour, much of it, speculation. In his new book called After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal, Oscar Wilde’s grandson, Merlin Holland, sets the record straight. The book is thirty years in the making and is an exploration of Wilde’s posthumous reputation and how his imprisonment for homosexuality affected Wilde's family, friends and literary legacy.Guest: Merlin Holland, Oscar Wilde's grandson and author, Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal,Producer: Ali Benton
