Andrew Marr, the BBC's political editor, presented a unique broadcasting event confronting a critical question at the heart of the 21st century - what does the world think of America?

What The World Thinks of America, a special 90-minute debate, brought together 10 national broadcasters and a range of diverse voices from around the globe to give a multi-national verdict on the United States.

Hosted from the Cabinet War Rooms in London, the programme boasted a panel of quality thinkers, movers and shakers, including former cabinet minister Clare Short and former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto.

Satellite links created a sense of global conversation, with input from leading broadcasters around the world.

The debate also revealed the results of a ground-breaking, international survey of attitudes that captured popular prejudices and convictions about America.

There was a separate poll in the United States testing Americans' grasp on their public image abroad.

These findings gave a truly global perspective on American values, politics, leadership and popular culture.
