Thousands of National Guard troops are being deployed to Washington to safeguard the capital for the inauguration of Joe Biden.

Germany’s ruling party, the Christian Democratic Union, has a new leader to replace Angela Merkel. Plus, the FT’s Tim Bradshaw reports that the pandemic tech boom is leaving cities with better logistics networks.
