as well as the family. the list that s been talked about has been closely held and not even something donald trump has been fully briefed on yet. that s not to say he hasn t had conversations but he s not been briefed with the portfolio of choices he can review and consider as he formulates a new cabinet. that would make sense because chris christie said he didn t want to talk about transition for superstitious reasons, at least one report cited. let s go to keir simmons in london with more on the reaction around the world. keir, here in the states we were greatly concerned, and still are the reaction of the markets. yesterday s closing, this morning s opening put aside some fears because of the peaceful transition. what are you hearing there in london? reporter: i m actually right in the center of government in westminster in london, tamron. look, heads are spinning in capitals around the world. let me give you an example. donald trump has now spoken to the prime minister of brita
spoken to the leader of germany, angela merkel. earlier he spoke to the leader of ireland. folks can t figure out if he s just changing the rules or whether he doesn t know what the rules are. and then there are other european leaders, tamron, who are saying, well, we may have to teach him the rules. so, the leader of france saying that europe may have to stand up to a president trump if it is necessary. the leader of germany saying, we share values but they have to be the right values. keir simmons, thank you for joining us from london there. thank you, by the way, for joining us for this hour of where do i work? of msnbc. i m tamron hall. we ll be back tomorrow and dial know the call letters. andrea mitchell reports, she knows the call letters and as solid as they come takes over our coverage. thank you, tamron hall. right now on andrea mitchell reports, face-to-face, this hour the first meeting between president obama and the man who led the birther movement.
