Emily Maitlis on the three elections shaking up global politics

This wasn’t the story global political analysts had been expecting to tell this week: In Brazil and Serbia, the youth are celebrating. Their hope for a democratic future has been restored after two shock election wins for the left that young voters helped deliver.

Today, co-host of The News Agents Emily Maitlis on a blockbuster week of elections, the Trump-effect hanging over all three countries, and how the results could shape global politics.
