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.
