Today, as the countdown to the US election enters its final hours, we discuss what a win for either candidate might mean internationally, and whether an appearance on SNL or a squirrel in New York could make all the difference. Adam is joined by Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s chief international correspondent; Ben Ansell, Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at the University of Oxford; and Nick Bryant, former BBC correspondent in New York and Washington and author of ‘The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict with Itself.’ You can join our Newscast online community here: https://tinyurl.com/newscastcommunityhere You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Hello.
It is the last episode of Newscast before we head to Washington D.C.
for election day in America.
So that means it's our probably last edition of Remoter Voter usa.
And to channel my inner American, we have got a doozy for you.
We've abandoned the usual format of Remote Remoter Remotest because longtime newscaster Liz, who's an American living in London, has sent us a spectacular Remoter Voter voice note which we're going to play in full.
And we're going to not play the Remoter Voter music.
And you will understand why when you listen to Liz's magisterial Remoter Voter entry.
This is Loyal Listener lives in London.
And for many of the past years, I've been voting in New York State.
I know, Adam, you love a gimmick.
And I don't know if you remember back during Brexit, cast the Brexit binder ASMR Gimmick.
So here in throwback fashion is ASMR Remoting Voting.
Now you have your ballot papers which don't print properly, so you have to staple them together, okay?
Then you fill in your bubbles.
To.
