victory. well it is a quiet sunday in terms of reactions from the moscow when it comes to biden's victory or u.s. elections in general now kremlin said they're not going to comment on than there until there is a clarity of who won the u.s. elections one can say there is a clarity now but still no reaction from here what do we know from the previous days is that there is no talk of a restart as it was when obama was 1st elected or reboot which was hopes in the early days when the trumpet was elected president and generally the feeling in moscow is that things are not going to change and for sure not going to change for the better russian president ahead of these elections said that russia is prepared to cooperate on constructive and equal bases with whomever american citizens elect

their president but not more than that has been said here now joe biden has a very long political career during which he was many times on the opposing sides when it comes to russia or with russia on certain other global. issues and for sure they didn't forget that in 2011 he supported big putting a protestant here in russia on the other hand because of his stands being known he is predictable and not all the things that he might do or during his presidency are necessarily bad for a show because some things that the did were not standing very well with russia like refusing to. constructive talk about the last standing arms control deal or putting obstacles for the very important for russia comical project of the guest pipeline on the other hand what he did was that he spoiled relations with

e.u. he made nato we can side and we have to remember that nato an expression especially extension of nato is here in russia perceived as the biggest threats to russian national security and this is something that the analysts here in russia are emphasizing as something the joe biden will do thus making the nato stronger and the taking away the as one the russian member of parliament put it over tonight these for russia in the global arena but in general they're not expecting a lot of changes in the e.u. or in the u.s. and russia relations and for sure not for a better ok alexandra it certainly would be an interesting research many thanks for joining us there from moscow and another series that might be in egypt leader abdel fattah el-sisi was amongst the 1st arab leaders to congratulate joe biden he said he looked forward to strengthening strategic bilateral ties in the interests of both countries biden has promised to take a tough line on

a human rights this year he tweeted no more blank checks for trump's favorite dictator after an american in egypt an american citizen was released from prison some of the sees it critics expressed hope u.s. policy towards egypt will change he sees government as do. accusations of widespread abuse says for more on egypt let's speak to hashem our barry joins us here in doha jim he's enjoyed it must be said a very friendly relationship with trump he's not going to have to start afresh with biden i have to say this is definitely going to be an unchartered territory for president opted for to her sister for different reasons 1st of all. under trump. who was widely seen as a bulwark against radical groups in the region and therefore he was given massive political and financial support by the saudis the emeritus and by the americas for that particular reason to the point where he was asked to step in libya and provide

significant assistance to the renegade general holly for hafta that is definitely going to change now for one simple reason joe biden made it clear that he will definitely have to attach strings to any future relationship with saudi arabia who was part of the same administration that in 2011 abandoned to mubarak when he was larger than life because they saw that there is a will a new wind of change asking for an end to autocracy and political rights and freedom of expression who was 1st part of the same administration into $1013.00 cut the aid to the egyptian government our deficit has sisi is definitely going to be more scrutinized than in the coming months when joe biden takes over and each step will be taken in the near future will be widely what widely more are monitored by the united states of america and of course the human rights organization to talk so ready they may do hope that they'll be more of

a spotlight on issues of abuse how much of a spotlight there while the basic you would like to see the following happen 1st of all a reconciliation with all the political parties in egypt are there for the has is his biggest problem now is his. sidelined most of the vocal activists political parties that would make it a vibrant political environment in egypt and his said and he made it quite clear that he's going to run the country his own way the with joe biden that could change and we're talking about a wide range of different political parties or from muslim brotherhood which won the elections post the 2011 spring in egypt and wish representative mohammed morsi was the 1st democratically elected president in egypt and all other political parties that were active in egypt more of the biggest problem also that sisi faces down to its 2 biggest allies the united

arab emirates and saudi arabia have some sense of anxiety about how to move forward with joe biden there will be very busy because it will be scrutinized further in libya and in yemen and that is something that could further pose enormous challenges for other for the has he says he was always receiving unconditional political and financial support from the saudis and from the amount of his that could change now with joe biden taken over the white house some very interesting times ok ahead thanks very much for bringing us the latest from the region we've got more reaction to the u.s. election after the break and also some other news for you here getting ready for its new president is a former banker will be looking at the challenges facing him. how

hello again you are with out there as a reminder of our top story this hour joe biden has delivered a message of hope and unity as a clarion victory in the u.s. presidential election vice president elect kemal harris is making history as the 1st woman and minority to hold the job. president donald trump was playing golf one buys them was declared the winner of the election has not conceded and says he will go to court to make sure the election laws are op held. but there's been celebrations in cities across the united states from new york in the east to los angeles and the west crowds have gathered on the streets to cheer dance and play

music. now we bring you more on the u.s. election in just a moment but 1st we want to bring you some breaking news we're hearing there's been an escalation in the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia azerbaijan's president here. says his troops are now in control of sushi now sushi is one of the most important cities in this fight for nagorno-karabakh region given its to teach it position overseeing the regional capital we will be bringing you more on this breaking news just as soon as we get it. but now let's get back to our top story the reaction to the u.s. election of joe biden an african leaders have welcomed his when many expressed hope that his presidency will boost ties between the continent and the united states south africa's presence or rather a poser tweeted he looks forward to working with biden and deepening the bonds of

friendship and cooperation condemned police brutality and discrimination towards black people in the u.s. and i jerry and president muhammadu buhari praised him for his track record outing his election as reminder that democracy is the best form of government and bob way leader and as a man and gag were offered his congratulations saying he hopes to increase cooperation between the 2 nations zimbabwe is facing us and e.u. sanctions over rights abuses and irregular elections i would ask is monitoring developments from harare and hotel is a little bit more about the responses that you've been seeing across the continent . well many african leaders have congratulated joe biden and they've all said that they're looking forward to working with them the general sentiment in africa was that donald trump never made africa a priority he never personally traveled to any sub-saharan africa he proposed

troops pulling out from west africa and east africa u.s. troops that are working with those countries to defeat the book on harassment al shabaab which would have been a blow to the war on terror and he even proposed cutting some aid to africa the relationship between africa and america's normally that of trade and aid in terms of aid america has given billions of dollars in aid to africa long before trump was even president and even is helped in things like buying food giving aid to countries in need and also improving the health care system like health in africa fight hiv aids in terms of trade i mean every country has its own trade agreement with america but the issue the africans had is that many felt that these trade agreements tend to favor americans and not so much the africans that's why we seen over the years china making a huge presence in africa coming in more and more each year build again for such a such as roads hospitals and airports and with cars at 19 china has been a lifeline to many african countries who are actually in country they brought in

mosques p.p.s. grav and a ventilator is in southern africa and leaders in this region have been trying to lobby or push america to remove sanctions imposed on zimbabwe back in 2001 these were placed on zimbabwe for alleged human rights abuses after the land reform program of wind farms was from commercial white farmers now the region has been trying to say to american government that these fancy that they are targeted end up hurting the zimbabwean economy and hurting poor zimbabweans in general which actually has a ripple effect on the rest of the region so is joe biden going to be any different from a hopeful they hope. he's going to support the continental free trade agreement in africa they also hope that he is going to endorse candidates to be director general of the world trade organization but some say listen at the end the day joe biden is the president of the united states of america his interests his priority will be

not congratulate any winner of the u.s. presidential election until legal challenges are over as appears to be an attempt to avoid friction with washington during the transition other latin american leaders are sending messages of congratulations to joe biden a latin america has to listen human reports on what a new administration could mean for the region while latin american leaders may not have said so publicly most all along had been rooted in sligo biden she begins from a concept which is very crucial to looking any games. instead of putting war. or building walls you have to work for the relevant. you know numbers of corporation and support. but there's an exception brazil's president jabe also noddle who's often described as the tropical trump vidas recent comments about deforestation of the amazon rain forest outraged also noddle who said publicly he

was cheering for donald trump. venezuela's embattled president nicolas maduro on the other hand is hoping biden will consider reversing crippling u.s. economic sanctions. a new consciousness is rising in the united states of america in its youth and its people they no longer want to peerless to wars they no longer want threats and alluding to. sources to al-jazeera the bidens regional aides are rethinking continued support for venezuela's opposition leader why they all as interim president reportedly described by one aide as a quote lost cause joe biden has visited latin america 26 times so he's certainly no stranger to this region for starters he's promised $14000000000.00 to central american countries to reduce poverty and violence as a way of tackling the immigration crisis

a very different approach from donald trump's. meanwhile many are commenting just how the latin american president trumps electoral challenges are sounding that to them he got has had those sort of strong men who decided that they would vote for or would change the results of elections because they wanted. that merica isn't likely to become a top priority for the next u.s. administration with perhaps the exception of the immigration issue but after 4 years of being largely ignored there's the expectation that it will again be on the radar you see a new an al jazeera sent the al. we're going to take you back now to that breaking news we brought by john's presence saying his troops on now in control of sushi this is the 2nd largest town in the nagorno-karabakh region which has been a war with armenian troops from around about 6 weeks let's talk to some of bin john
