donald trump easily wins in iowa taking 51% of the vote — further evidence the former president has transformed the republican party in his own image. is there still a race for the nomination and how do his rivals run against him when it is donald trump that has defined what the right is? our panel tonight — the washington post live anchor leigh anne caldwell is here to give us her views on last night's results. and, as we look ahead to what this means for the rest of the world, we will get the thoughts of the former british ambassador to washington, lord kim darroch. good evening. the race for the white house is heading to new hampshire, after donald trump crushed the field in the iowa caucuses. it was a historic landslide for the former president, cementing his clear status as the front runner of the republican party. and in political terms, it is an extraordinary resurrection for a candidate who left

the white house in disgrace and is facing 91 indictments. it is still entirely possible that the likely nominee will be convicted before the election in november. yet in iowa, he took over half of the vote, winning 98 of the 99 counties up for grabs — 30 points clear of ron de santis, who finished in second spot, with nikki haley in third. and for all their postivity, it looks a steep climb from here. i want to congratulate roni and nikki for having good — a good time together, we're all having - a good time together. in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of iowa! i can safely say tonight, iowa made this republican primary a two—person race. let's bring in the panel. leigh ann caldwell, washington post live anchor.

do you want more of the do you want more of the same do you want more of the same and do you want more of the same and they all shouted no, 70% of the us population say they do not want the same reasons they got into thousand 20 but they're voting for it. yes. 20 but they're voting for it. yes, absolutely _ 20 but they're voting for it. yes, absolutely going _ 20 but they're voting for it. yes, absolutely going to _ 20 but they're voting for it. yes, absolutely going to get - 20 but they're voting for it. yes absolutely going to get the same race and the problem is, the reason is, donald trump continues to have this grip on the republican party was the result of last night and an entrance pulling where she performed exceedingly well among all groups of people and he won young voters, or diverters, college and college—educated voters —— noncollege. he has a grip on the republican party and the turnout was quite low. trump won by the largest

margin in the iowa caucus with a small percentage of people, to vote, less than a quarter of iowa republicans but these are the results in the race heads to new hampshire and will be very hard for any of these other candidates to try to defeat him. ran any of these other candidates to try to defeat him.— any of these other candidates to try to defeat him. ron desantis is going straiaht to defeat him. ron desantis is going strai . ht to to defeat him. ron desantis is going straight to south _ to defeat him. ron desantis is going straight to south carolina _ to defeat him. ron desantis is going straight to south carolina and - to defeat him. ron desantis is going straight to south carolina and nikki i straight to south carolina and nikki haley is going to new hampshire. can ron desantis really make a case that he is still in this case when donald trump is leading him in south carolina there will be no momentum coming out of the race new hampshire for him? . , , , coming out of the race new hampshire for him? . ,, , ., for him? new hampshire is going to be tou~h for him? new hampshire is going to be tough for — for him? new hampshire is going to be tough for ron _ for him? new hampshire is going to be tough for ron desantis _ for him? new hampshire is going to be tough for ron desantis and - for him? new hampshire is going to be tough for ron desantis and esau | be tough for ron desantis and esau being the, iowa, the wonder of iowa doesn't always go on to win the nomination. the last time someone

did that, did was 2000 that the wonder of iowa went on to win the nomination. but ron desantis is probably going to stay in the race until he runs out of money in advance of his supporters so this could be a key test for him and as donors do not want to continue to donate to a losing campaign. new hampshire could be a decider in this race and there's a lot of pressure on nikki haley to perform and in order to have and momentum in the conservative state of south carolina —— home state. conservative state of south carolina -- home state-— -- home state. what did you say of donald trump _ -- home state. what did you say of donald trump when _ -- home state. what did you say of donald trump when you _ -- home state. what did you say of donald trump when you were - donald trump when you were the british ambassador in washington and remind you what it said return and

cases to serve him politically and last week when he shared a better in dc when they argument on whether or not he was immune from federal prosecution because as president, he did not have to be there but he wanted to show up to have the image of being persecuted which is what his message is. and it is evident and his supporters and what is supporters think about him and in the entrance polls leading into the caucuses, two thirds respondents, republican respondents said that they think donald trump could still serve as president if you were convicted of one of these crimes and this has in no way among the republican base disqualified him and his only helped him. we

northwards to give some rain, sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. of england early on wednesday. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. it's going to be very cold, a sharp frost across the northern half of the country. so, for wednesday, we've got that feature running across france, which could affect the far south of the country. plenty of snow showers across northern coastal areas, so a bit more cloud, i think, in the mix across southern britain for wednesday. high cloud, greyer the further south you go, could see rain, sleet, snow close to the coast. chances of wintry showers for southeast england. frequent snow showers with ice for northern scotland, northern ireland, a few into the irish sea down towards northwest england and wales. sleet and snow to southern counties of england early on wednesday. the snow showers continue. northern scotland, northern ireland under clear skies. it's going to be very cold, a sharp frost across the northern half of the country. so, for wednesday, we've got that feature running across france, which could affect the far south of the country.

plenty of snow showers across northern coastal areas, so a bit more cloud, i think, in the mix across southern britain for wednesday. high cloud, greyer the further south you go, could see rain, sleet, snow close to the coast. chances of wintry showers for southeast england. frequent snow showers with ice for northern scotland, northern ireland, a few into the irish sea down towards northwest england and wales. and it's going to be a cold day wherever you are, despite the sunshine through central areas. for wednesday night, we see the wintry mix clearing away from the southeast, clear skies for many, snow showers draped across coastal areas. and that's where we'll see a significant ice risk, further inland under clear skies, light winds, it's going to be another very cold night to come. so, for thursday morning, we start off with plenty of crisp sunshine around, wintry showers around coastal areas, these most frequent across northern scotland and northern ireland. heavy snow showers here leading to significant accumulations of snow across northern scotland. central southern areas will be dry on thursday. plenty of sunshine, but it's going to be another very cold day. on friday, we could see an area of more substantial snow again across scotland. further south, it'll be cold and sunny, and then some changes as we head into the weekend. on saturday, the winds start to pick up, low pressure starts to sweep in off the atlantic, so that brings a very big

change to the weather. it turns more unsettled with wet and windy weather for the second half of the week into next week, and it's turning milder.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. we the context on bbc news. have not spoken about' economic we have not spoken about the world economic forum in dallas, and i can tell you the war in ukraine is high on the agenda. president zelensky has been in davos today the first time he has attended the world economic forum. it comes on the back of a visit to switzerland where he agreed yesterday to take part in a global peace summit which will attempt to find some solutions to ukraine's ongoing war with russia. there are no details

were provided about when such a summit could take place. china will be invited russia will not. today in davos, zelensky warned the likes of donald trump that there is no easy fix to the problems the kremlin have created. in fact, putin created this war. we all know that he's the sole reason why various wars and conflicts persist, and why all attempts to restore peace have failed. and he will not change. if anyone thinks this is only about us, this is only about ukraine, they are fundamentally mistaken. possible directions and even a timeline of new russian aggression beyond ukraine become more and more obvious. live to davos, in switzerland, to speak to suzanne lynch, associate editor at politico. who i've kept waiting for about 15 minutes, and i know you're one hour

ahead there in dallas, so thank
