The Handover Begins

President Obama has begun handing over the reins of power to Donald Trump. What will the US under President Trump - and the world - be like?

It clearly was not an easy occasion when two men who've been bitter opponents met for one to start handing over the reins of power to the other. Donald Trump has said he plans to reverse President Obama's signature policies. What will the US -- and the world -- be like in the era of President Trump? Views and analysis from Anthony Zurcher in Washington, our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet, Chris Morris - just back from Brussels, and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Latin America expert Lourdes Heredia.
