outright threat to democracy. someone totally unsuited to america's highest office. even so, he tapped into many people's concerns about the economy and immigration. once again proving to be a divisive but effective campaigner. his road back to the white house has been dramatic, even dangerous. injuly, donald trump survived an assassination attempt. beat covid. .. survived an assassination attempt. beat covid... the survived an assassination attempt. iteat covid- - -_ survived an assassination attempt. beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden beat covid. .. the same month, joe itiden dropped _ beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden dropped out _ beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden dropped out of— beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden dropped out of the _ beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden dropped out of the race - beat covid. .. the same month, joe biden dropped out of the race for i biden dropped out of the race for the democrats after that disastrous debate performance. i the democrats after that disastrous debate performance.— debate performance. i accept your nomination _ debate performance. i accept your nomination to _ debate performance. i accept your nomination to be _ debate performance. i accept your nomination to be president. - debate performance. i accept your i nomination to be president. kamala harris taking — nomination to be president. kamala harris taking her _ nomination to be president. kamala harris taking her boss's _ nomination to be president. kamala harris taking her boss's place - nomination to be president. kamala harris taking her boss's place as - harris taking her boss's place as the candidate. now the question for the candidate. now the question for the democrats, what went wrong? where kamala harris went wrong is going to be a question with a huge amount of introspection for the democratic party. but i do think her decisions in the closing weeks of

the campaign to focus very heavily on all the things she thought were wrong with a donald trump and not as heavily on why she could rebuild the us economy, that could be one area. this man's journey has us economy, that could be one area. this man'sjourney has infused, appalled and fascinated onlookers. but whatever feelings he inspires, this fact remains. donald trump will soon once again take charge of the most powerful nation on earth. jessica parker, bbc news, in washington dc. donald trump's running—mate — and soon to be vice president — jd vance described the victory as "the greatest comeback in the history of the united states". let's take a closer look at how mr trump has redrawn the political map. we're still waiting for a few results, but this is how things are currently looking. the red represents donald trump's republicans, the blue is for kamala harris and the democratic party, and as you can see, this is a map with

a lot of red states. the magic numberfrom right across these united states is 270 in what's called the electoral college. that's the threshold to win. and as you can see, donald trump has reached that, even though some states still have to declare. in terms of the popular vote — that's people across the whole country — donald trump currently stands at 51%, and kamala harris at 47%. catriona perry is based here in washington for the bbc and was hosting the results programme overnight. she is still up and with us. just about! this _ she is still up and with us. just about! this wasn't _ she is still up and with us. just about! this wasn't some - she is still up and with us. just - about! this wasn't some statistical auirk, this about! this wasn't some statistical quirk. this is _ about! this wasn't some statistical quirk, this is decisive _ about! this wasn't some statistical quirk, this is decisive and - about! this wasn't some statisticall quirk, this is decisive and happened much more quickly than most people were expecting. it much more quickly than most people were expecting-_ much more quickly than most people were expecting. it depends what side ofthe were expecting. it depends what side of the fence you _ were expecting. it depends what side of the fence you are _ were expecting. it depends what side of the fence you are on. _ were expecting. it depends what side of the fence you are on. the - were expecting. it depends what side of the fence you are on. the trump i of the fence you are on. the trump campaign have been briefing for the last day or two that they felt they would be able to hold a victory

rally on tuesday night, wednesday morning that it would have garnered enough of those electoral college votes to have a majority to declare donald trump president. and that is just what they did. at one veteran democrat strategist described it as a shellacking, basically a wipe—out. donald trump, the republican party have taken the white house, flipped control of the senate, looks like they will hold onto control of the other house in congress, the house of representatives. that gives them an immense power to pass their legislative agenda through. as we speak now, looks like donald trump is going to take all seven of those swing states that we would have been talking about soma —— for so many weeks. i'm not sure that was on anyone's bingo card. that is why we have those been warning about the margin of error when there are close polls. that is what we have seen here. we thought it would take a bit longer because of how many postal votes there were four different reasons in different states. but this is a decisive victory for donald trump. he has managed to broaden the base of the republican party, including taking in some

erstwhile democratic voters. thank ou ve erstwhile democratic voters. thank you very much _ erstwhile democratic voters. thank you very much indeed. _ erstwhile democratic voters. thank you very much indeed. we - erstwhile democratic voters. thank you very much indeed. we will- erstwhile democratic voters. thank you very much indeed. we will speak to you a little bit later. shellacking, that is the world we have to use. —— word. it was the state of wisconsin which took donald trump over the line to victory a couple of hours ago. let's head there now and our correspondent carl nasman. carl, wisconsin was one of those critical swing states. it absolutely was. we were at a watch party among the democrats, really felt a bit more like a funeral once the results started coming in. republicans meanwhile are celebrating after what this state was able to do. we heard from one republican official who told me, as wisconsin goes, so goes the nation. that seems to be true. this is the state that the winning for donald trump back in 2016, did so again this year. what the party and donald trump is really able to do is chip away at this blue wall, the coalition of voters that typically

votes democratic, now turning republican. we are talking about union members, even some members of minority communities. in madison, we saw this big margin for kamala harris, also in the big city milwaukee, but that simply wasn't enough to make up that gap. now what we have seen, this divided nation with this comeback by donald trump, really could begin to be reshaped as we see donald trump now set to regain the white house.- we see donald trump now set to regain the white house. thank you for that update. _ rowan bridge is in arlington, virginia, and has been chatting to voters. rowan, what are they making of the result there? well, it is morning here in america, as you say, and people are waking up this morning, coming out for breakfast, just starting their day to the news that donald trump is going to be their next us president. this is where america comes for breakfast, the diner, the classic american experience. bob and edith have been here for more than 50

years, so they have seen presidents come and go. you can get your breakfast 2a hours a day. the grill is on the go, as you can see, some fried onions, some potatoes, they are going to make me an omelette in are going to make me an omelette in a minute. and of course, the bottomless cup of coffee, just what you need to get through an all—night presidential campaign. but this has been a particularly divisive presidential campaign with both sides fearing what the other would mean for the future of america. you really saw that reflected in people that we spoke to this morning. democratic voters, this is a heavily democratic voters, this is a heavily democratic area, using words like devastated and despondent. republican voters energised and excited for what the future brings. a new golden age, as they see it, under donald trump. is it only for the sat down for their breakfast earlier this morning. it is the sat down for their breakfast earlier this morning.— the sat down for their breakfast earlier this morning. it is hard to net m earlier this morning. it is hard to get my brain _ earlier this morning. it is hard to get my brain around _ earlier this morning. it is hard to get my brain around the - earlier this morning. it is hard to get my brain around the fact - earlier this morning. it is hard to| get my brain around the fact that earlier this morning. it is hard to - get my brain around the fact that we have elected this fool. for me, i am a retired _ have elected this fool. for me, i am a retired lawyer, and he took an oath _ a retired lawyer, and he took an oath of— a retired lawyer, and he took an

then president—elect trump on over coming days to the special relationship and yes, there are elements of that relationship between washington and london that are long—standing and transcend whoever happens to be prime minister and president. but a big moment this is. there was a wonderful phrase this morning there would be deep breath time in whitehall. the splash of understatement, not because hadn't foreseen a won. they had, but there can be a difference between a hypothetical and a reality and they can be a and their contact with reality. we are about to find out just what that thank

the world has that l thank been reacting to donald trump's return to the white house. in a moment, we'll be speaking to steve rosenberg in sochi and james waterhouse in kyiv. but first, our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is injerusalem. lyse, what does a second trump presidency mean for the middle east? well, it wasn't surprising that of all the world leaders to congratulate donald trump, it was the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who was quick off the mark. so noticeable. it wasn'tjust the kind of political message we saw keir starmer sending, the kind of political message we saw keir starmersending, it the kind of political message we saw keir starmer sending, it was warm, personal, addressed to lonnie and donald trump signed in true friendship from benjamin and his wife sara. all of the political leaders have notjust hailed this victory by donald trump at this long, strong strategic partnership

between israel and the united states. this is the result the vast majority of israelis wanted. they remember how in donald trump's first term he backed most of its role's long—standing demands, including leaving the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. when leaving the american embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem. when it comes to arab leaders, they also have spoken about the long strategic relationship between their country and the united states. there is a consistent thread as well. all of them to a leader, whether the president of egypt, king ofjordan, palestinian president, all of them urge donald trump to bring peace and security to the region. and that is the big question now. will donald trump be the president he boasts he is, the peacemaker, the man who wants to end war is not stopped them? orwill wants to end war is not stopped them? or will he give his strategic partner including his close friend benjamin netanyahu and even freer hand to keep waging those destructive wars in gaza, lebanon

donald trump said on the campaign trail and what he didn't say will have gone down well with the kremlin. i think we can expect needs to improve that relationship. thank ou. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, is in kyiv. james, what's the mood in ukraine following trump's return to the white house? well, hearing that, i think president zelensky will want to keep fighting this war which entirely depends on help from the us, and he will be desperate to form some kind of functioning relationship with donald trump. he was early to congratulate him as well, he described a great meeting they both had in new york and he was trying to sell his country. he was describing the economic and political opportunities and partnership between donald trump and himself,

what that could provide. but these are incredibly uncertain times. american support has been laid out for the coming months by the outgoing biden administration in terms of armoured vehicles but beyond that, we just don't know. if donald trump is turned down by russia for any kind of peace negotiation then he might step up support for ukraine. that is the faint hope here this morning. thank ou. that's all from washington for the moment — we'll be back here a little bit later in the programme, but first let's take a look at the rest of the day's news so far, ben. thank you very much indeed. a gp who tried to murder his mother's partner has been sentenced to more than 31 years in prison. dr thomas kwan, who worked in sunderland, disguised himself as a community nurse to inject his victim with a fake covid jab which was in fact poison.

weeks before checking into a hotel under a false name, preparing for murder. the next morning he set off wearing a hat, mask and tinted glasses as a disguise. his disguise was so good that when he arrived at his mother's house, even she didn't recognise him and asked him to check her blood pressure. he then told patrick o'hara he was going to give him a covid injection but it wasn't that, it was a poison causing a life—threatening flesh eating disease. he told the court it felt like his arm was on fire, and excruciating pain he said. since then he suffered post—traumatic stress disorder and says he's been left shell of an individual. so, what poison was used? after searches at the garage of the gp, one expert thinks it could have been a type of pesticide and there was so much more. castor beans and a recipe for icing which could be used as a chemical weapon and a copy of the

terrorists handbook. police also found fake id. the lengths he went to were extraordinary, all because of greed. a doctor with a split personality who is now on his way to jail. thomas kwan showed no emotion and look directly at the judge when they told him it was an audacious plan to murder a man told him it was an audacious plan to murdera man in told him it was an audacious plan to murder a man in plain sight and he nearly succeeded. mr murder a man in plain sight and he nearly succeeded.— nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right _ nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right to _ nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right to feel— nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right to feel safe _ nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right to feel safe and - nearly succeeded. mr o'hara had every right to feel safe and you i every right to feel safe and you gained entry to his home in the most calculated and callous of ways, under the guise of a trusted health care professional.— care professional. well, outside court patrick — care professional. well, outside court patrick o'hara _ care professional. well, outside court patrick o'hara was - care professional. well, outside court patrick o'hara was asked l care professional. well, outside| court patrick o'hara was asked if care professional. well, outside - court patrick o'hara was asked if he had any feelings about thomas kwan he was sitting metres away from him. he said he didn't but he felt sorry for his mother who the pensioner is

and wales may struggle to afford higher water bills when they go up next april. we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's stav. good afternoon. for a lucky few out there, getting to see some sunshine. the best has been across north—east scotland and some glimmers as well across sheltered eastern parts of the pennines, particularly north—east england. for many, sky is gloomy and cloudy once again like this weather watcher in cheshire. this is how it's looking for the rest of the working week and even as we head into the weekend, very little change as a weather will be dominated by higher pressure. as we push into the weekend, a bit of rain across northern and western areas but most places staying dry and those temperatures remain mild for the time of year. more later.

as we've been reporting, donald trump is to return to the white house as the 47th president of the united states and he has promised what he calls a new golden age for america. kamala harris is expected to speak to supporters later on. let's go back tojon kay in washington for the latest. it's just after 8:30am here. it'sjust after 8:30am here. let's take a look at what the american news outlets are saying about the election result. the new york times says donald trump storms back into office — returning to power after a dark and defiant campaign. the washington post marks trump's triump, saying he vows to "fix everything" in office. it also suggests kamala harris will speak later today. and the wall streetjournal shows a breakdown of the results of the presidential race for all us states. it says donald trump's win

in wisconsin pushed him to victory. and this is how the tv networks reported the result. right now, the map tells a story. they are well into the morning in new york and there is much more red than blue. ~ _, . ~ ., �* ,, , than blue. welcome back to cbs news election night — than blue. welcome back to cbs news election night headquarters _ than blue. welcome back to cbs news election night headquarters in - than blue. welcome back to cbs news election night headquarters in new. election night headquarters in new york _ election night headquarters in new york a_ election night headquarters in new york. a big night for republicans and donald trump. we york. a big night for republicans and donald trump.— york. a big night for republicans and donald trump. we now pro'ect former president i and donald trump. we now pro'ect former president donald �* and donald trump. we now project former president donald trump - and donald trump. we now project| former president donald trump will be our— former president donald trump will be our next — former president donald trump will be our next president. _ former president donald trump will be our next president. 47th - be our next president. 47th president— be our next president. 47th president of— be our next president. 47th president of the _ be our next president. 47th president of the united - be our next president. 47th . president of the united states. mr trump addressed supporters in florida early this morning — he was able to declare victory as the results were still coming in, and he promised a new "golden age" for america. frankly, this was i believe the greatest political movement of all

time, there's never been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond. now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we are going to help our country heal, help our country heal. we have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly. we are going to fix our borders, we are going to fix everything about our country. we made history for a reason tonight and the reason is going to bejust that. we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing, look what happened, is this crazy? cheering but it's 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. elected your 47th president and your lt5th president-— 45th president. cheering and every _ 45th president. cheering and every citizen, - 45th president. cheering and every citizen, i - 45th president. cheering and every citizen, i will. 45th president. cheering l and every citizen, i will fight 45th president. cheering - and every citizen, i will fight for you, yourfamily and your and every citizen, i will fight for you, your family and your future. every single day i will be fighting for you and with every breath in my body. i will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous america that our children deserve and you deserve. this will truly be the golden age of america. that's what we have to have. cheering that was about 2am us time. so how did donald trump win this election? our colleague christian fraser has been taking a look, and crunching the numbers. here are the seven battleground states. how did donald trump do it? we are going to look for close in

these top three battleground states, starting in michigan. they make cars in michigan, in detroit. and just across the eight mile road from detroit is macomb county, white working class, it is the sort of blue—collar area where donald trump has been running up the vote. they used to vote for democrats, they would have belonged to unions, but look at the margin on the night, 16 here in macomb county. roll it back to 2020, it is eight. and you see a similar pattern not far away in pennsylvania. look at the margins in these smaller, white working class areas across these smaller, white working class areas across the these smaller, white working class areas across the top these smaller, white working class areas across the top of these smaller, white working class areas across the top of the these smaller, white working class areas across the top of the map. these smaller, white working class areas across the top of the map. 80, 75, 73. this is the culmination of the realignment that donald trump began in 2016 in rural america. and now added to the white working class vote is the latino vote. this is berks county, a city in berks county is 70% latino. look at that, nearly

12 points on the night. going back to 2020, it was just eight. if you need further evidence of how that latino vote is now skewing towards the republicans, then you need look no further than nevada. this is las vegas, clark county, 70% of the vote state—wide. they used to say that democrats needed a ten point margin in clark county to win the state. in 2008, barack obama had 19, that slipped to 15 in 2012, 2211 with hillary clinton, then nine withjoe biden, and last night clark county... went down to one. what does that tell us across the map? it says to me that white, working—class voters, latino voters were more concerned about the economy and inflation. christian frazier there with all the

data. donald trump doesn't move back into the white house straightaway. his inauguration will be injanuary, so there is a transition time. but of course he knows the building very well because he moved out four years ago and now he will be moving back again. we will have a little bit more shortly. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. thanks, jon. on bbc london: the dartford crossing trips which ended with hello and welcome to sports day. a perfect sendoff as his sporting side beats manchester city 4—1. the champions league action continues with aston villa and arsenal in action, and could this be a cold start of the future? we catch up with a teenager moving stateside to make it as a professional.

penalty, he did this. that summed up their night. as it was shown how it was done, a 4—1 defeat of the city was done, a 4—1 defeat of the city was a third in arao. there to say, there was a lot to ponder. helping them to a ll— nil win and there was good news for celtic, two goals. they beat leipzig 3—1. victory worth celebrating. andy swiss, bbc news. it was ruben's last game and here you can see him being launched into the air before he heads to manchester united but he is keen that people will reserve their judgment after he caught the result of an. lode

worried. the average household water bill in england and wales is currently due to go up by em over the next five years. and what we heard today is that four in every ten households, well, they say they would struggle to afford these higher bills. the consumer council for water says 38% of people think that if bills do go up, they would consider spending less on essentials.— consider spending less on essentials. , ., , . essentials. there needs to be much better support. _ essentials. there needs to be much better support, much _ essentials. there needs to be much better support, much more - better support, much more comprehensive support for people who are struggling with affordability issues. there are reduce tariffs around, they are called social tariffs. but they are a postcode lottery. what really needs to happen is a much more consistent and comprehensive social tariffs so that every water customer across england and wales benefits from the same level of support if they're struggling to pay their bills. right water companies cannot legally cut of your supply and as your hearing,

there are social tariffs available with every supplier for people who need it. although these differ from region to region. if need it. although these differ from region to region.— region to region. if you don't auali region to region. if you don't qualify for— region to region. if you don't qualify for those, _ region to region. if you don't qualify for those, your i region to region. if you don't qualify for those, your water | qualify for those, your water company may be able to help you with a flexible payment plan. or you could ask to take a bit of a payment break. the water company should also be able to offer you access to debt support. it's still an unknown as to how much bills will go up by. water companies and the regulator are in negotiation and we should know more by the end of the year but given water company performance on the voted out of office. back tojon kay in wa company at 78 it makes voted out of office. back tojon kay in wa company performance s voted out of office. back tojon kay in wa company performance on the water company performance on the issue with household finances, any issue with household finances, any increase is likely to be unpopular increase is likely to be unpopular and difficult to manage. back to the and difficult to manage. back to the us election and this is the live us election and this is the live view of the white house this view of the white house this lunchtime. donald trump re—elected lunchtime. donald trump re—elected to serve a second term as us to serve a second term as us president, four years after being president, four years after being voted out of office. back tojon kay voted out of office. back tojon kay

in washington. at 78 it makes in washington. at 78 it makes him the oldest president to the white house. that's right. when he returns in january. house. that's right. when he returns injanuary. for me, then, the defining moment during the programme last night was a split screen. on one side donald trump's jubilant supporters punching the air and dancing in florida and at exactly the same time on the other side of the same time on the other side of the screen there was a spokesman for kamala harris telling herfollowers in washington that they should go home from what was meant to be a victory party. we've talked about foreign affairs, we talked about the uk relationship with america. let's consider the impact of president trump's return on business. simon jack is our business editor. what has been a reaction of the financial markets and what does it tell us? what we've seen is that most people think a trump presidency will push

prices up. why? because tax cuts promised will put more money in people's pockets, at the same time tariffs will reduce supply. that could push up inflation, keep interest rates in the us higher and that could mean the currency, a pound buys you $1 28 today. a lot of deregulation is promised which means we forms of money like bitcoin saw a massive surge to a record high today. and some american companies will be protected from foreign imports, like tesla. will wait to see what the impact of these

imports, like tesla. will wait to see whatt wondering, these imports, like tesla. will wait to see whatt wondering, donald trump people are wondering, donald trump lost four years ago, now we have a decisive victory, what has changed? donald trump managed to grow his base which is causing consternation. we had the january six riots on capitol hill, he was impeached we had all of those criminal and legal actions, he's a convicted felon now. he had the simple message which seems to have resonated with voters, and it seems that the americans responded to that with a resounding yes. he grew his base in areas that his campaign had specifically targeted. they went after young men, 18 to 25. they appeared to have got a lot of those people. they also went off to people who hadn't ever voted before, who hadn't felt engaged. they seem to have got those

as well and they specifically targeted teenage voters black voters which were also motivated by that message around the economy, the inflation and the cost of living crisis. ., �* , ., ., ., crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do ou crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do you think _ crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do you think a _ crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do you think a second _ crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do you think a second term - crisis. now he's got to deliver, how do you think a second term will i do you think a second term will compare with the first four years of donald trump? i compare with the first four years of donald trump?— donald trump? i don't think we should expect _ donald trump? i don't think we should expect anything - donald trump? i don't think we i should expect anything tremendously different but that is the question americans are asking themselves and the question being asked in foreign capitals around the world. this is a very divided country, it's very polarised. we've seen that from the results. donald trump won but a huge number of people also voted for kamala harris and i'll be feeling sore and upset after an emotional and negative campaign, kamala harris saying donald trump was a fascist. that individual is now the president. he said in an interview on the first day he will be a

dictator but only for the first day and he said he will drill, baby drill, which refers to allowing fracking on a more widespread basis. a lot will hinge on what the current occupant of the white house does, joe biden. we haven't yet heard from kamala harris and joe biden. he still be president for another two and a half months. there has to be a peaceful transition. the tonejoe peaceful transition. the tone joe biden peaceful transition. the tonejoe biden and kamala harris take in terms of handing over power to donald trump and jd vance will set the tone. �* ., donald trump and jd vance will set the tone. �* . , , �*, the tone. beautiful sunshine, let's find out what _ the tone. beautiful sunshine, let's find out what the _ the tone. beautiful sunshine, let's find out what the weather - the tone. beautiful sunshine, let's find out what the weather will i the tone. beautiful sunshine, let's find out what the weather will be i find out what the weather will be like at home. big differences in the weather compared to dc. we've got the grey and gloomy skies. the outlook really for the rest of the week into the weekend is little change. high pressure continuing to

dominate. a few lucky spots seeing the sunshine. may be some across north—east england, north wales too. the odd glimmer elsewhere but most places staying grey and gloomy. temperatures in the mid—teens in the warmest spot is generally around 11 to ill warmest spot is generally around 11 mm degrees. tonight staying to11l degrees. tonight staying cloudy for most. when we have some clear skies, for example across the north—east, there could be a few cooler spots. otherwise a mild night for the time of year. more of a breeze across northern and western areas, that may help to break up the cloud a bit but it's going to be a rather grey day for most of us. limit sunshine again. little above parfor the time of limit sunshine again. little above par for the time of year. friday we could start to see this with a front encroaching into western areas, most places staying dry. cloudy again with limited sunshine. into the

weekend is weather fronts trying to make inroads. i think the one on saturday will fade out over the irish sea. a future was in northern ireland. again, rather cloudy with limited sunshine. those temperatures pretty similar. more of a breeze across northern and western areas. on sunday, this next weather front could make better progress across the country. more of a breeze. we could see some spells of rain across northern ireland and scotland. maybe the odd shower in western england and wales in the skies might brighten up with spells of sunshine on sunday. for most of england and wales, cloudy with temperatures around the mid—teens. next week high pressure dominating, staying finance any. —— fine and sunny. clive will be here at 60 and with more reaction and analysis. but that's it from us
