Today on The Current: We discuss the global alarm following the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general. What happens next as tensions escalate between the two countries? Plus, we talk to a woman who lost her family farm in the Australian bushfires, and who wants her government to pay attention to climate change. Then, a man who illustrates good news stories says he does it not to ignore the world's problems, but to empower people to tackle them. We also listen back to an interview with a neuroscientist who says the flaws in your brain are what makes you brilliant; and we get a visit from La Befana, the Italian witch who brings children gifts at Christmas.
