President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to select his top team ahead of his return to the White House, after Vice President Kamala Harris vowed a "peaceful transfer of power". We examine how economic concerns among voters affected the result. We also speak to Nobel Prize winning economist Daron Acemoglu. Also in the programme: opposition parties in Germany call for snap elections after the collapse of the country's governing coalition; and Australia says it wants to ban under 16s from accessing social media.
