So what can you see by the dawn's early light?

As Washington plays host to the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States, the Newsnet podcast took its weekly snapshot of Scottish, UK and international politics. With our host Derek Bateman today were Iain Docherty, Professor of Public Policy and Governance, and journalist and TV producer Maurice Smith.
