BBC World Service - Weekend, Joe Biden: Americans voted for change

Joe Biden says Americans voted for change; efforts to limit global warming

The Democratic challenger Joe Biden says millions of Americans have voted for change and that he will become the next US president.

We'll have reaction from both Democratic and Republican party supporters.

Also, can international efforts to limit global warming succeed despite the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement?

And why the citizens of Geneva voted to give themselves the world's highest minimum wage - about 25 dollars an hour.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Robtel Neajai Pailey, a Liberian activist and Assistant Professor in International Social and Public Policy at the London School of Economics, and Brian Klaas, American-born Associate Professor in Global Politics at University College London.
