00:00It was a decisive win for Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses last week, and his cancels,

00:09that means he's well on his way back to being in the White House.

00:13Not quite yet, because there are still a number of contests, a number of twists and turns

01:12Well, if you saw the first round, then you know that the second could potentially bring

01:17even more chaos, not just to the United States, but to America's relationship with many of

01:24its key allies and friends in the rest of the world.
