00:06Here are the top stories at this hour.

00:08Donald John Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States in a stunning culmination

00:15of an explosive, populist and polarizing campaign.

00:18The surprise outcome defying late polls that showed Hillary Clinton with a persistent edge

00:24threatened convulsions throughout the country and the world.

00:27The triumph for Trump, 70, a real estate developer turned reality television star with no government

00:33experience was a powerful rejection of the establishment forces that had assembled against

00:39him and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration.

00:44In his victory speech, Trump called for unifying Americans and pledged that he will be the

00:49President for all Americans.

00:52His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister

00:56of the UAE and ruler of Dubai congratulated Trump in a series of tweets.

01:01We offer our congratulations and best wishes both to President-elect Donald Trump and to

01:07the American people.

01:08We look forward to share our message of hope, peace, tolerance and development for a better

01:13world, he wrote.

01:15In the UAE, this is what American expats had to say in their reactions to the win.

01:20There's a real sense that we just need to come together as a nation and as one group

01:25of people, stand behind our vote, stand behind our elected president and just work together

01:31to better the country.

01:33I think the world needs a business leader after all and this is never separated from

01:39politics.

01:40There's not one single business big deal made without a political decision.

01:46So, we live outside the United States and we need his support outside, internationally

01:53and he will do so, he has businesses worldwide.

01:56I would like to think that our new President-elect, who goes into office in January, will do his

02:02utmost to bring the blue and the red states together to be United States of America.

02:09Global markets were meanwhile thrown into disarray.

02:12Futures on the S&P 500 index plunged by a 5% limit, while European equities sank more

02:19than 4%.

02:20Gold had its biggest move since the aftermath of Brexit and the Mexican peso tumbled to

02:26the most since 2008.

02:28And finally, the weather.

02:29Today's high across the UAE will be 32 degrees Celsius, dropping to 23 degrees at night.

02:35That's all for now.
