Coming up on today's program, as Donald Trump's administration and cabinet begins to take shape, what can we glean on foreign policy from his rumored Secretary of State pick?
Then to Peru, where Pacific leaders are gathering.
That's right, Vincent.
At least 14 leaders of the world have so far confirmed their attendance at the leaders Summit in Lima from November 15 to 16.

All the big ones are going to be there.
And we check in on the Paris photo International Photography Fair.

All that right here on the Briefing with me, Vincent McAvini.
Now, Donald Trump has made some staff staffing appointments in the week since the election as vying candidates ensconce themselves in Mar?
A Lago hoping to win favor.
But after an exhausting few years of campaigning, Trump has been unusually low profile with his pronouncements and appearances.
Governments and analysts around the world are waking up this morning to pore over the record of rumored pick for Secretary of State, Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
He is expected to become America's chief diplomat.
Quite a journey for a politician who previously called the president elect a Third World strongman and a con artist who should never be in charge of the nuclear codes.
Well, Scott Lucas, adjunct professor at the Clinton Institute at the University College Dublin, joins us now to discuss the prospective appointment.
Scott, if true, what can you tell us about Marco Rubio?
