Two stories dominate the week and are likely to dominate the year ahead, too. The beginnings of the Trump Presidency and the beginning of the end for britain in the European Union. My guests today Arejohn Fisher Burns of the new york times, Thomas Kielinger of die welt, Polly Toynbee of the guardian and Dmitry Shishkin of bbc world service. Donald trump first, and as he begins the job of being 45th president of the United States, to paraphrase a question from the president ial debates, lets start by saying something nice, positive and hopeful about the new president. This is going to be a stretch for you, but have a go after that inaugural speech in which he reached out to nobody at all, in which he trashed all of the previous president s sitting around him very politely, i think the only thing we can seriously hope for is that this meglomaniac, this sociopath, will overreach himself to such a degree that he will be impeached as soon as possible, hopefully before that four years is up.
