in kyiv, ukraine is morning in kyiv, ukraine is waking up to an uncertain outlook, let's put it like that. i think with the outgoing biden administration. there have been countless american officials here trying to secure as much military aid as possible with ukraine before president biden�*s term is done. now we don't exactly have the continuity candidate, as far as ukraine is concerned. in the words of one mp, let's not try to guess what donald trump is going to do next. it is true, he suggested he could bring this war to an end quickly by bringing ukraine and russia to the table. as one front line soldier but it to us, this could go one of two ways, ukraine could be forced to negotiate as though us winds down support, they could present a proposal to vladimir putin of russia. and in his

words, russia could advance in a few years�* time in quest of its ultimate goal of conquering all of ukraine. or, as he put it, vladimir putin might reject that proposal and it might be to —— push trumped up support for ukraine. that is certainly the preferred outcome here. this certainly is a junction for ukraine. donald trump wants to label president zelensky is the best salesmen in history, he is already in picture mode. using there are economic and political opportunities here. you mention there about peace through strength. that is a president zelensky phrase, he usesit president zelensky phrase, he uses it often. he is not adverse to bringing this war to an end but it needs to be from an end but it needs to be from a position of strength. at the moment, it is hard to see what security guarantees ukraine can get to secure its long—term future. that is certainly that

argument here. president zelensky has a knack of when there are political difficulties, when the war isn�*t going his way, it hasn�*t been for some time, he tries to leveraged this into future assurances and commitments from his allies and it will be no different with donald trump. thank you very much for bringing the reaction from where you are. we will have more on international reaction from other countries around the world but first let�*s take a look at how donald trump won this election. my colleague lewis vaughan jones has been looking at the map of the us as the results are coming in. thank you. you�*re going to take a look at the numbers, they tell the story and it is a remarkable one. 270 of the number of electoral college votes that will take the presidency, donald trump has passed that 279. we are going to take a look at how exactly

she did that. a quick reminder that red is conservatives. the swing states coming into the election, these are in gracia, nobody has won them yet. we are going to look at how he won. republican, he started off his first significant victory was north carolina and not long afterwards georgia. at this point, kamala harris are still in the race but then came pennsylvania. a huge swing state with 19 electoral college votes, that brought donald trump just shy informal votes and you can see the grey a few more swing states to go. then came the crucial despite a government not the first time in wisconsin with ten electoral couege in wisconsin with ten electoral college votes. he is over the line with 276. we are still waiting, you can see the grey there on some results. they�*re not going to change who is president yet, that remains what donald trump is interested in. they could have gone either

way, you can see a sea of red. the projected winner donald trump but if you look at the ones we are still waiting on, michigan, nevada, arizona, jump ahead, trump arizona was just ahead, trump arizona was just ahead there. we won�*t pay too much attention to that one. that sea of red tells a story of the presidential election. not the only election that was taking place, how much power will donald trump resident have in office, that depends a great deal on congress. two houses, the senate and the house. with him, to supported legislation or against him him, to supported legislation oragainst him and him, to supported legislation or against him and have a bit of a block. let�*s start of the senate, the republicans and the majority 51 have 52 just in the last moment. very good news for donald trump. if you take a look at the map, ignore the grey, these are areas where votes are taking place, there is an approach where a third

are up for election. each time, you can see this red—and—white striped there, that is ohio. republicans in montana just in the last few minutes, republicans projected to take that so a good night for donald trump in the senate. what about the lower house? the house of representatives, 218 the majority in the republicans are on 202 donald trump gave his speech and held onto it and yet you can see there are still a 16 or so but things are looking at there. we can show the map. a bit of a health warning with the way the demographics work, this looks like a total sea of red that it is not quite that way. these large estates here have a population, they are dense and population.

populated. at the presidential race. one final thing to mention is that the popular vote, he�*s not been elected on the popular vote but donald trump has won the two. 65 coming up to 66 millions for kamala harrisjust coming up to 66 millions for kamala harris just coming coming up to 66 millions for kamala harrisjust coming up coming up to 66 millions for kamala harris just coming up to 71 million votes for donald trump. 71 million votes for donald trum -. . ~ 71 million votes for donald trum. . ~' ,, 71 million votes for donald trum. . ~' , 71 million votes for donald trum. . , . ., trump. thank you very much for takin: us trump. thank you very much for taking us through _ trump. thank you very much for taking us through all _ trump. thank you very much for taking us through all of - trump. thank you very much for taking us through all of those i taking us through all of those numbers and also the senate race as well. now, the the mood at kamala harris�*s headquarters in washington dc changed markedly when the results went against her. this was the moment that cedric richmond , harris campaign co—chair, told her supporters kamala harris will not address her on election night. take a listen. i want to say good evening to all of the harris campaign, the campaignfamily, all of the harris campaign, the campaign family, thank you for all that you have done.-

all that you have done. thank ou for all that you have done. thank you for being _ all that you have done. thank you for being here, _ all that you have done. thank you for being here, thank- all that you have done. thank you for being here, thank you for being _ you for being here, thank you for being believing in the promise of america. we still have — promise of america. we still have votes to come, we still have — have votes to come, we still have states that have not been caught — have states that have not been caught yet, we have not will continue _ caught yet, we have not will continue overnight to fight to make — continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted _ make sure that every vote is counted. every voice has spoken. _ counted. every voice has spoken, so you won't hear from the vice — spoken, so you won't hear from the vice president tonight but you will— the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow, she will be back here tomorrow — tomorrow, she will be back here tomorrow. to address that not only— tomorrow. to address that not only supporters but to address the nation. only supporters but to address the nation-— the nation. kamala harris has been et the nation. kamala harris has been yet to — the nation. kamala harris has been yet to formally - the nation. kamala harris has been yet to formally concede | been yet to formally concede and as we heard there from one of her campaign co—chairs, she will be addressing the nation

later on. in what has been a subdued night for the harris campaign — our correspondent samira hussain has been taking in the scenes at howard university in washington dc — where kamala harris studied. at the beginning of the evening. these risers were full of people and those people were full of optimism. they were excited that they could possibly see the vice president, kamala harris, perhaps clinching the white house. people were dancing. there was a dj playing tunes. but that atmosphere became more and more subdued as more results started to come in. and even before we heard from the co—chair of the campaign that vice president kamala harris wouldn�*t be speaking here tonight, people had started to leave. it�*s certainly not the outcome that anyone was expecting here. and while the results are still being counted, that history making moment may be a little bit more elusive

than the people here wanted. so how has the world of business been reaction. here�*s arunoday mukharji. as you�*d expect the result of the us election has wide reaching consequences for the global economy with businesses around the world looking to what it means for them. the dollar has surged the most in two years as investors pile into news of the donald trump victory. markets in europe have opened up on the news of a decisive result with the ftse 100 here in london opening up over 1%. you�*ll see the us markets already in the green at the close on monday — wall street is expected

to open up today. markets in asia mostly closed up as they took in the numbers coming in overnight. you�*ll see the nikkei up — as the japanese yen fell back against the dollar boosting the export driven index. hong kong�*s — hang seng was down over fears of the effect of possible trump tariffs now becomes much more likely. have you on the programme. thanks for coming out. given the results we have seen, what are anticipating in terms of global reactions when it comes to the market? a fair bit of unpredictability or how you see it? {371 unpredictability or how you see it? . ., , ~' ., it? of course, we know unpredictability - it? of course, we know unpredictability always| it? of course, we know- unpredictability always goes

with this presidency. there is likely to be a lot of volatility, a lot of uncertainty but there are certain things that we do know. for instance, we know that he would favour making permanent some of the tax cuts that he enacted in his previous presidency and we also know that the republicans generally favour less regulation. all of those things have been coming through in what we call the travel trade, will be seen a lot of evidence of that this morning. the dollar has rallied across the board. that is because tariffs and tax cuts, there are inflationary, they make growth over the next year or so. they also create more inflation which means the central bank in the us, the federal reserve, is less likely to do so otherwise and that of course is currently supported so the dollar is stronger but

what is already interesting as some of those trump trades have already started to pick out so the dollar is already off the highs of the morning. that probably relates to the fact that there is uncertainty. how big will the terrace be? who will they affect most? will they come to europe? of all the answers on ukraine be? how much more a european country is going to spend on defence? all of these details will emerge over the next few months. as the market is waiting to see whether there is a red sweep across congress, and also for those senior advisers come to be. ~ �* ., those senior advisers come to be. . �* . . ~' be. we'll leave it there. thank ou ve be. we'll leave it there. thank you very much- _ be. we'll leave it there. thank you very much. thanks - be. we'll leave it there. thank you very much. thanks for - you very much. thanks for joining in with your thoughts and analysis. and as we said, we saw the dollar go up and also to mention — bitcoin which broke records climbing above $75000. donald trump�*s largely

positive stance on bitcoin triggering that rally. we set sorry for the camera movements. let�*s bring it back today to the top story and of course donald trump is the president of the united states. across the threshold with 270 electoral college votes, but was announced in the last hour or so. after he was delivered in the signalling state of wisconsin in america�*s midwest. before that, mr trump already delivered a victory speech and is looking certain that he was going to become a america�*s 47th president. i have a look back at some of what he had to say. it back at some of what he had to sa . , ., back at some of what he had to sa. _, back at some of what he had to sa. say. it is a politicalvictory that our— say. it is a politicalvictory that our country _ say. it is a politicalvictory that our country has - say. it is a politicalvictoryj that our country has never say. it is a political victory - that our country has never seen before. nothing like this i want to thank the american people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your

47th president and your 45th president. this will truly be the golden age of america. this is a magnificent victory for the american people. it will allow us to make america great again. we also have won the popular vote that was great. we are going to turn it around, we�*re going to do it in every way, and so many ways but we are going to do it in every way. this is the day the american people regained control of the country. we are a party of voters, we want to have security, we want great education, they want a strong and powerful military, ideally... many people have told me that god spent my life for a reason. the reason was to save our country. to restore

america to greatness. i will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight but i have in my soul. this is the most importantjob in the world. i will cover by a spin simple motto. . iwill ask will cover by a spin simple motto. . i will ask my citizens tojoin me. it is a noble and righteous endeavour. it is time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. it is time to unite success is going to bring us together. we are going to start by putting america first. i want to thank you. america will be richer, stronger, safer than it ever has been before. god bless you and god bless america. thank you very much. and god bless america. thank you very much-— and god bless america. thank you very much. donald trump as

he delivered _ you very much. donald trump as he delivered the _ you very much. donald trump as he delivered the victory - you very much. donald trump as he delivered the victory speech | he delivered the victory speech earlier. congratulations as we have been saying, from around the world we have just had a statement from the president of turkey. he congratulated his friend, donald trump, unwilling the election after what he described was a great battle. he said i believe more effort will be given in this new era that began with election by the american people. posting on x. he added that he hoped that regional wars would come to an end. one thing that will be closely watched will be america�*s relationship with china after a trump presidency. officials have described this relationship as the most contentious and consequential in the world.

and make no mistake about it, beijing will be bracing itself for the return of donald trump and for one reason will be trade. and that is because during the last trump presidency, trade put tariffs on around $300 billion of chinese goods, and he�*s threatening to do so again. now, that might be good news. where trump is threatening to impose a 100% tariffs on chinese electrical vehicles. however, when it comes to the likes of a soybean farmer or a corn farmer in perhaps illinois, that could spell trouble. during the last trade war, china looked elsewhere for its soybeans. it went to brazil, it went to argentina. and that meant real disaster for soybean farmers right across the us. it was a costly trade war for both sides. china�*s economy is already ailing. it is in no mood for a second trade war. but there may be an opportunity for china in a new trump presidency.

president xi may see an opening, and that is because when it comes to the last four years, the president biden administration has built up alliances right across asia, south korea, japan, vietnam, the philippines. and when it comes to the issue of taiwan, the biden administration has made repeated assurances that if it was attacked by china, the self—governing island which china claims as its own, remember, president xi has vowed to retake it by force if necessary. the biden administration has repeatedly said it will come to taiwan�*s aid. president trump has made no such assurances and in fact has said it will impose further tariffs on china if they do something like that. however, he�*s not talked about the defence of taiwan. in fact, he�*s accused taiwan of stealing american semiconductor technology. and then, of course, during his last presidency, when it came to his alliance with south korea, he saw it

as a chance to do a deal rather than diplomacy. he asked south korea to pay more to host us troops in the country, so that deal over diplomacy might be a problem for our alliances right throughout asia. president xi might see a chance to weaken those us alliances which were made to contain china. he might see it as a chance to portray himself as a more stable partner. make no mistake about it, china is trying to challenge the us led world order, and if those alliances do weaken, it might offer china that opportunity. how did donald trump�*s victory

policy, it is actually one of the great accomplishments of his administration. we were all surprised, we did not view him in 2016 foreign policy resident, his focus and campaigning was much more domestic. but, as it turns out, he handled foreign policy very well. i give you a few examples, the abraham accords in the middle east, we had peace and prosperity in the middle east and in the world for that matter. you he makes improvements with nato again not always in a diplomatic way but it worked. you had, people are back, they might not miss donald trump but they missed the peace and prosperity his first term. the peace and prosperity his first term-— first term. briefly, i have been some _ first term. briefly, i have been some concerns i first term. briefly, i have i been some concerns about this project 2025. whether he will move america�*s political agenda too much more the right. briefly, what are your thoughts on that? we got a before we have to wrap. i

coverage of donald trump�*s victory. stay with and thanks for watching. we will be back with the us election shortly but for now we are going to turn our attention to uk politics. sir keir starmer has sent his congratulations to the us president donald trump on his historic election victory. the uk prime minister is turning his attention to prime minister�*s questions which are going to begin shortly because kenney baden will face sir keir starmer is pmqs for the first time as the conservative party leader. the former ministers debut at the dispatch box will be a clear and closely watched exchanged and we are expecting him to be bracing himself for a grilling on policies announced last month. include of course fresh inheritance tax measures

that has since prompted a fallout among farmers. she succeeded rishi sunak as tory leader on saturday when the results came in. a lot is being said about her style, how that is going to fit with the sir keir starmer�*s style when she addresses the house for the first time. my colleague is monitoring this for us as well. hejoins us live monitoring this for us as well. he joins us live now. she speaks her mind. she is very direct. she speaks her mind. she is very direct-— very direct. some would say abrasive. — very direct. some would say abrasive, some _ very direct. some would say abrasive, some would i very direct. some would say abrasive, some would say . very direct. some would say i abrasive, some would say rude. i think she will speak very direct. those close to her suggest that she might deploy a bit more humourfor suggest that she might deploy a bit more humour for example. rather thanjust go in bit more humour for example. rather than just go in for a straight head on attack all

round, we will see if that�*s true. they say that kind of technique is very effective when she was shadowing the deputy prime minister angela rayner, she took on that portfolio before she took on the leader so we will see how she performs but also the audience, her most critical audience, her most critical audience, that mps behind her, those conservatives, to get into the final she actually got just over a third of her colleagues supporting her. some people did not support her during that campaign, you will be very keen to see how she performs, she going to be too abrasive in her style? will she be far more disarming? but should be deploying humour? she will talk generally about keir starmer�*s lack of plan.

equally, from labour�*s point of view, she got through her campaign not talking very much about specific policies. when she challenges criticises labour as you are mentioning on the budget and inheritance tax, employing national church, if she does that they will consistently be what we do instead, what will you cut? what will you spend? she will try not to accept those terms of the debate and that will make interesting tonne. hotel will be very different. it�*s will be very different. it's not only- _ will be very different. it's not only. they _ will be very different. it's not only. they are i will be very different. it's not only. they are going to have to address what has happened in the united states. they are and i expect there will be the first thing that they do. i think we will see keir starmer saying much of what he said early this morning, just after donald trump had spoken, he issued a statement stressing the

enduring special relationship between the uk and the us. in other words, between the uk and the us. in otherwords, political other words, political differences aside, otherwords, political differences aside, you can share values on democracy example, he stresses what happened onjanuary example, he stresses what happened on january six example, he stresses what happened onjanuary six in the united states and also he wanted to keep donald trump on the same page on major international issues. she also talked on social media by two countries working together closely for mutual benefits i think we will hear those congratulations from the main party leaders that if donald trump is at all... it�*ll be interesting to see contributions coming. they have already denounced the trump victory and even some backbench labour mps are not telling let�*s cross over to the commons now

for prime minister�*s questions. i begin
