Andrew Neil | 11:58 UK time, Thursday, 6 November 2008

Hello from New York - here's a word on today's programme from my co-presenter Jo Coburn.

Day Two and President Elect Obama's in Washington and Chicago.

We're awaiting key announcements on the future make up of his government. With Iraq, Afghanistan and a global financial crisis to contend with, Mr Obama's priorities are dictated by events and so you can expect details on his treasury and security teams to start to emerge.

For today's programme, Andrew is live in New York with leading journalists Harold Evans, former Republican speech writer Lisa Shiffren, American financial expert Alvin Hall and West Wing star Ron Silver.

Laura is in Washington with the latest from there and she's been looking at just how to do a presidential transition - with the help of a Washington comedian.

Also today as we go on air - how far will the Bank of England go on interest rates? We hear from the Director General of the CBI and two members of our newly formed "Daily Politics Wise Council" of economists and businesspeople - Oliver Kamm and Baroness Jo Valentine.

All that, live at midday on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two - you can email us at daily.politcs@bbc.co.uk or leave a comment in the box below.
