Today, we broadcast live from the Newseum, and we literally talk to the world. For two hours we'll hear the reactions of people around the world to news that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States...and what they believe that could mean for their country. In our first hour, we'll talk to Archbishop Desmond Tutu in South Africa, Israeli politician Natan Sharansky, and also to Palestinian Hanan Ashrawi, legislator and Chairperson of the Executive Committee for The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue & Democracy , about how they believe President-elect Obama will engage with their countries.

In our second hour, we'll be joined by former Mexican President Vicente Fox, Nobel Prize winner Mohammed El Baradai, and Nobel Laureate and environmental activist Wangari Maatha. They each will discuss their views about the role they expect the United States to play with the economic crisis, the environment, nuclear proliferation and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan under Barack Obama's leadership. We won't be taking any domestic calls on this program. We will only accept calls from our audience who will be listening abroad. But we do invite you to sit back and enjoy hearing the views and the reactions of people all over the globe to this historic moment in our history.
