Will Bain has the latest results and reaction to US midterm elections, which could reshape the balance of power in Washington. We're joined by an expert panel of guests from across the States and also here in the UK who can explain what's important for voters, and why these elections matter for us in Britain. Plus, hanging in the balance is the future of British retailer Poundland - we hear from one of the store's founders about where it could be headed.
