What does Obama's re-election mean for America's economy and for the world?

As America hurtles towards the so-called fiscal cliff what does Obama's re-election mean for America's economy and for the world? Can catastrophe be avoided?

There is only one story today, Obama's re-election. So what does it mean for the economy of America and for the rest of us? We've got an eminent panel of economists who discuss the significance of a second Obama term for China, for Europe and for Africa. 

Plus we've got the BBC's economics editor on why America doesn't face a fiscal cliff but more of a gentle slope.
