Georgia's ruling party claims victory

A review of the week with the latest news.

Votes are being counted today in Georgia's election, which was held yesterday. Partial results have put the long-governing Georgian Dream Party in the lead. This election has been seen as crucial to determining the future of the country and whether it will remain on a path towards joining the EU or whether it will get even closer to Moscow.

Also on the programme: how will Arab Americans approach the US election, and; climate change may change Northern Europeans’ lives forever.

Joining Rebecca Kesby to discuss all this and more are Laurie Goering, a London-based climate-change journalist and Afzal Ashraf, an expert on defence, security and international relations at the University of Loughborough in the UK.
