Paul Ryan looking for a "good night"published at 03:32 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
"This could be a really good night for America", the Republican Speaker of the House said at an election event in his home state of Wisconsin.
The highest ranked Republican has often found himself at odds with his party's nominee, and said last month that he was no longer defending him.
He's hoping to maintain his position in the new House of Representatives, which will probably again be Republican-controlled.

Anxiety rising in Asian marketspublished at 03:31 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
The BBC's Asia Business Correspondent Karishma Vaswani says:
"There was a flurry of activity on this trading floor in Singapore a few moments ago when traders here thought that Florida had been called for Trump. That hasn't happened yet, but nerves are high, and anxiety is definitely rising. Asian markets are also now falling by about 0.5-1% on average (Taiwan and Hong Kong most affected - China related shares affected because of what Trump has said about slapping tariffs on Chinese imports) Shades of Brexit deja vu in the air?"

Signs of 'Brexit plus-plus-plus'?published at 03:22 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016
Donald Trump has often talked of how he'd defy the doubters and clinch a shock victory in a similar manner to how the Leave campaign won the EU referendum in Britain.
