In the coming week, the world reacts to Donald Trump's presidential win.

0:04.0

Israel faces a deadline to increase aid to Gaza, and the annual UN climate change conference,

0:09.0

COP29, begins in Azerbaijan.

It's November 7, 2024 in time for the world next week. I'm Bob McMahon.

0:28.3

And I'm Carl Ann Robbins.

0:30.3

Bob, but let's start with what else the results of the U.S. election.

0:35.1

This week, the world watched as Trump scored a really remarkable comeback
