Hi there.
I'm Azadeh Moshiri from the BBC World Service.
This is the global story.
Former President Donald Trump has declared victory in the US Election.
As we're recording this on Wednesday morning, ballots are still being counted in some swing states.
But in Florida, Donald Trump has told his ecstatic supporters that America has given them an unprecedented and powerful mandate.
This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.
Now, as we speak, he's just four Electoral college votes away from being projected the winner and pulling off one of the biggest political comebacks in American history.
So this morning, like people across the United States and across the world, we're trying to make sense of an astonishing night in American politics.
Well, with me here in Washington is BBC chief presenter Christian Fraser.
A regular fixture during US Election nights is of course, having someone, usually in cargo pants, manning a touchscreen and guiding the audience through the path to 270.
