Then they discuss the recent spike in gang violence in Ecuador, efforts to prevent Guatemala’s new President from being sworn in, Taiwan’s election results and North Korea announcing the end of efforts to reunify the Korean peninsula.

Last night in Iowa saw many firsts.

The coldest caucus on record and the biggest lead by the winner. Trump secured his win just 31 minutes after the polls closed. His nearest rivals, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley trailed him by 30 odd points.

So is the contest over? Can anything change the trajectory of Trump? And what does this tell us about the state of the Republican party and what will happen next?
