Donald Trump Is Elected 45th President of the United States

Republican candidate Donald J. Trump won Tuesday’s presidential election in a shocking victory.

The 70-year-old billionaire businessman defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a path to victory that became clearer after wins in key swing states including Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. The Associated Press called the race at 2:30 a.m.

“I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past — of which there were a few people — I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can unify our great country,” he said as he addressed supporters in Midtown Manhattan after his victory.

Trump also told the crowd that Clinton called him to concede, and said that “we owe her a major debt of gratitude.”

“I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton, she congratulated us, it’s about us, on our victory. And I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. She fought very hard,” he also said.

 Clinton’s campaign had been dealt a blow after the FBI launched another probe into her emails before confirming they would not take further action – just two days before the election.

 

93 DAYS: Nigeria Releases New Film On Ebola

Two years after Nigeria fended off what could have been a devastating Ebola epidemic, the 12-week ordeal is playing out again — only this time, on a movie screen.
The Nigerian docudrama "93 Days," which premiered in Lagos on Tuesday, chronicles the harrowing weeks in the summer of 2014 when a man ill with the Ebola virus arrived in the city from Liberia.

The movie title is simply the numbers of days Nigeria battled Ebola; from when the US diplomat, Patrick Sawyer arrived Nigeria to the day the country was declared Ebola free by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
"93 Days" dramatizes the work of Nigerian and international health workers who responded to the virus’s arrival in the city and prevented its transmission.
“It’s a success story, it’s a story of how Nigerians came together to fight this dreadful disease. And very rarely do we have this kind of beautiful story being told about ourselves,” said producer Bolanle Austen-Peters.
The movie was shot in the same neighborhoods and in some of the same buildings where sick patients were treated. That gave it an unusual level of realism.
