As Americans vote, the world watches
News organizations around the globe are watching tonight’s voting closely. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) offers an interactive map, a commentary board plus this guide to “Who’s backing who” among other features. Germany’s Der Spiegel takes to the street to see who Berliners would like to see lead after what it calls the “divisive” polices of President George W. Bush, while the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera posts updates from its correspondents across the country.
