What a Week

The the world is reeling, but Trump is President elect of the USA.

People scoffed, the pollsters dismissed it, the media thought better, the world is shocked - Donald Trump is President elect of the United States.

But as one Trump voter put it "He's done something amazing. He has turned the establishment on its end: is a man who never ran for political office, decided he was going to do it, beat the odds. I feel like it's a huge statement."

Jon Sopel and Katty Kay, presenter of the World News America, talk about how people voted in the US elections; discuss sexism in politics and - crucially – speculate how Donald Trump’s choice on who to bring into the White House with him will influence the direction of his presidency.

Also on the programme what the world thinks about his election with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's correspondents in China, Russia and Turkey.
