Charity hopes there'll be no "collapse of American compassion"

The charity Save the Children says talks are underway to clarify what could happen to foreign aid under a Donald Trump presidency. It's Chief Executive Officer Kevin Watkins says US aid is vital in areas like north-east Nigeria where thousands of children are at risk from malnutrition - and he says it's time for cool heads as discussions get started over how to ensure that American aid continues. Some fear Mr Trump might lead America into a more isolationist era.
