	Description:		US Democrats are celebrating a win in the House of Representatives as Republicans retained the Senate. The BBC's Fergus Nicoll reports from Minnesota, and speaks with Democrat Angie Craig, who won election to the House. And we assess what impact the changing US political landscape might have on the global economy with Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. Also in the programme, new research suggests red meat should be taxed, to discourage its consumption, and help pay for the health problems it's said to cause. Dr Marco Springmann of Oxford University, who is behind the findings, explains his research. Plus we have a report from Kolkata, India, where there's anger over a court order restricting the use of fireworks at Diwali celebrations, because of worries about pollution.
