US Midterms: What Will New Congress Mean For Trump?

President Trump calls mid-term election results a “tremendous success” – although it was a night of mixed results for his Republicans.

President Trump has called the mid-term election results a “tremendous success” – although it was a night of mixed results for his Republicans. They kept control of the upper chamber, the Senate, but lost control of the lower chamber to the Democrats. Newshour’s Tim Franks is in Washington – we’ll hear reaction from across the political spectrum, and what one newly-elected member of Congress makes of it all.

Also in the programme: we hear from a leading Rwandan opposition figure; and how the UK’s understanding of the First World War has changed over the past century.
