union people in california and arizona, they don't have to join a union, i was surprised growing up, coming to realise that there were union people who would vote for republicans. ijust who would vote for republicans. i just thought it wasn't done because my dad was from pittsburgh. they all voted democratic. there is a sea change about how people think about things and they see things and think, that is not the way we want to go. arizona, where i am, they have made sure that women have the right to choose. they put it in the constitution.

incredible movement. this is a movement like nobody has ever seen before. cheering frankly, i believe this was the greatest political movement. there has never been anything like this in this country. we are going to fix our borders, we are going to fix everything about this country. we made history for a reason to night, and the reason is going to be just that. we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it is now clear that we have achieved the most incredible political thing. look what happened! is this crazy? 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. i will not rest until we have

delivered the strong, safe and prosperous america that our children deserve, and that you deserve. this will truly be the golden age of america, that is what we have done. donald trump. america's neck spasm. worth reflecting that when he made that speech this morning, he still hadn't been called as present by most networks. fox news did it right before he took to the state. the turning point was really pennsylvania, when that was called in his favour. when he claimed victory. we are still waiting to hear from claimed victory. we are still waiting to hearfrom kamala harris. she didn't speak to her supporters last night. when that happens, we will bring it to you live from bbc news. stay tuned, live from around the world and the us presidential results.

very little change for the rest of this week. perhaps into the weekend we will see a few weather fronts putting weekend we will see a few weatherfronts putting in of the atlantic. a few showers to the atlantic. a few showers to the northern western areas but they will tend to fade as they end up in this blocking area of high pressure. high pressure bringing a lot of dry weather abound. mild airfrom the south. temperatures and little above the seasonal law. most places will be dry, thick clouds, the odd spell of drizzle. some brightness across

north—east england, north wales, north—east scotland. temperatures of 15 degrees, otherwise for most it is the low to mid—teens. three tonight, little change, mostly cloudy, misty and murky. a few clear spots across northern scotland. slipping into single digits. pretty mild for the time of year. nine to 11 degrees. thursday, again, very little change. mostly grey, cloudy, rather gloomy. north—east england, bobby northern, north—east scotland, a little sunshine. probably into the low teens. friday, these weather fronts get a little bit closer to the west of ireland. most places will be drier, a bit more of a breeze across northern ireland. again, the best of the sunny spells in the best of the sunny spells in the north. as we head into the weekend, one weather fronts trying to work its way into the

west there. it will tend to fizzle as it crosses the irish sea. it gets consumed by this high pressure. maybe a few showers out west, for most it is going to be dry, mostly cloudy, limited sunshine. temperatures low to mid—teens. into sunday, we will see a weather front which could be a bit more active. bringing rain to scotland and northern ireland. it will weaken as it pushes eastwards. it may allow for skies to brighten up in the afternoon. potentially brighter here, but for most it is cloudy and grey. into next week, another strong air of high pressure builds and so it is going to be mostly dry and settled.
