with every this is al jazeera hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is the news hour live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. joe biden, thanks americans for electing him that 46th president promises to bring back dignity to the white house. america call upon us to marshal the force of the decency, the forces of fairness to marshal the 1st of sun and the 1st of all. the great problems of our time. the most powerful woman in the country coming to harris

makes history, she's about to become the 1st black woman ever elected vice president. but donald trump and his supporters, a defiance of the president, showing no sign of conceding. i will it affect the transition of power in the white house, conflicts in the middle east and the future of the 2 state policy will take a look at by ministrations outlook towards the region. and us about this president says that his military has taken control of the strategic city of sushi in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh on many of those denies the claim a promise to restore the soul of america. joe biden has delivered a message of hope and unity just hours after declaring victory in the presidential election. he spoke of ending months of racial on rest of bringing

a new approach to deal with the pandemic. that's devastated the country, but biden will face challenges. trump is refusing to concede and is threatening legal action that he hopes will overturn results that secured by this victory. we have a team of reporters getting international reaction to the story. harry forces in west jerusalem with what it means for israeli palestinian relations hash, is here in doha with a view from the gulf region said baik has the latest from the iranian capital, tehran and some of the full team is covering iraqi reaction from the capital. baghdad, but 1st white house correspondent, kimberly wraps up events in the u.s. addressing the nation for the 1st time as president elect, joe biden spoke to a divided america and appealed for unity. people of this nation have spoken. they've delivered us a clear victory. we won with the most votes ever cast in presidential ticket and

the 1st to the nation. $74.00. and he promised to be president for those who voted for him. and for the more than 70000000, who did not. it's time to put away the harsh rhetoric. lower the temperature, see each other again. listen to each other again and make progress. we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. they are not our enemies. there are americans wearing white in honor of the women who a century ago fought for the right for women to vote. vice president elect col harris acknowledged her own historic accomplishment with the very soul of america at stake. and the world watching. you ushered in a new day for america. in january,

paris will become america's 1st female and 1st woman of color to fill the office of vice president. but while i may be the 1st woman in this office, i will not be the last outside the white house and in cities across the united states. crowds shunned social distancing restrictions to celebrate biden promises, as one of his 1st acts as president. he will set up a commission to deal with covert 19 but for now, biden supporters packed the streets to mark the historical significance of the moment. the knowledge man of america back i care as a black woman that i matter, speaks volumes to me, sends a message to people. people voted for him. you're hoping for something different.

america decided after seeing 4 years of it, we don't want any more. world leaders have congratulated the president and vice president a lot 1st on twitter. canadian prime minister justin trudeau promised to take on the world's greatest challenges with biden president trump was on the golf course when the election was called for his rival. he remains defiant and insists there have been voting irregularities. observers were not allowed into the counting rooms . i won the election, he wrote trumps attorney says the campaign will keep fighting. she just about the $700000.00 votes that president trump was ahead by 2 days ago. that disappeared and we have no way of knowing because we are deprived of the right to inspect it. if a single one of those ballots is legitimate. on monday the trump campaign insists it will launch a series of legal challenges. for now,

it appears president trump has no plans to concede. can really help al-jazeera the white house. so president trump may not be ready to leave the white house, but leaders around the world are already congratulating president elect joe biden. let's turn 1st to harry forces in west jerusalem, israel's prime minister, it took him 8 hours, but he has at least congratulated joe biden as has the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. that's right. in fact, both of them were pretty delayed in the congratulate free messages compared to some of those other leaders you were talking about. and i think of the end of kimberly's piece there explains at least for netanyahu side why trump refusing to concede the race. so that puts netanyahu is perhaps the closest of the allied world leader with president trump, in a pretty invidious position. and the way that he tried to strategize a way out of it was by giving this can congratulate the message early this morning,

sunday morning on his twitter feed, which is headed by a ban, a photo of him in the oval office with president trump congratulating joe biden and come a harris talking about his warm 40 year personal relationship with joe biden. and talking positively about trying to work with the new administration to advance the u.s. israeli relationship. he also sent out a separate tweet, thanking donald trump for his 4 years of advocacy for the israeli cause. one newspaper editor here saying that that netanyahu had failed his 1st test in trying to restore bipartisanship in terms of the u.s. is ready relationship, something that those on the left and some on the right had criticized netanyahu for, by allying themselves so closely with donald trump. by making his rip personal relationship of big feature of his recent election campaigns that, that has somehow splintered the bipartisan nature of the u.s.

support for israel. that is not likely to translate into any major rift, i think, between israel and the united states, both biden and harris are centrists. and i've advocated for israel in the past that certain issues such as the iran nuclear deal on issues such as the trump peace plan . potential for annexation in the future that this would make a big, a big difference in those terms. as for the palestinian president mahmoud abbas, he said that he look forward to working with the biden administration towards peace and stability and security in the region. under serious herefore said, live in west jerusalem. let's go to teheran. then said big is for us, president rouhani has been talking about by victory. what's it been saying? well, they won't be any. congratulations for president elect biden, coming from the iran, but president hasn't rouhani has said that,

but donald trump's policies had been denounced in this election. and he said that the new administration, this was an opportunity for them to correct to compensate the mistakes of the path past and come on to the path of adherence. now he's talking about that 2015 nuclear deal that donald trump pulled united states out of. he said that iran has always been committed to its commitments if other parties are committed to this. now it's not certain how, what the next steps will be from the united states. whether they come back to the 2015 nuclear deal and then iran begins to start going back to its commitments, or whether iran shows that is willing to go back to its commitments. and then the united states returns to the deal. but president hasn't rouhani praised the iranian people. he said that they had resisted an economic war that had been imposed on them and said that they had proved that this maximum pressure policy was doomed to failure. now the politicians haven't really congratulated president joe biden,

but there is some cautious optimism here, hoping that the economic situation here will get better because of those sanctions . and already the reaal has surged against the dollar here. but people are hoping that there will be some vital relief for the country for the people and the economy here that has been suffering under u.s. sanctions as a big live in tehran. many thanks acid sort of 14 then is life for us in baghdad. remember, up to 3000 u.s. troops that you to leave iraq by the end of the year, some of the how engaged as baghdad hope the u.s. will remain. well, many iraqi leaders have extended congratulations to president elect joe biden. prime minister to me tweeted that he hopes that the u.s. and iraq will continue to strengthen their strategic ties, which appears to hint at a strategic dialogue between the 2 sides that has been going on for several months

in an effort to try to revive the political economic, military, and cultural relationships between the 2 sides. certainly, there is hope between among some government officials that joe biden will be able to expand the relationship between the 2 sides. because if we look back at the trumpet ministration, the white house under president had a relatively narrow focus on iraq. the few times that he mentioned of the country he spoke about u.s. business interests here. and he also spoke about using iraq as a base to counter iran's influence in the region, which is of course, something that has really peeved many iraqi government officials who see that approach as a violation of iraqi sovereignty. so there is hope that there will be a more nuanced approach under a biden administration, that it will be a more extended approach focusing on different areas of politics of the economy. but of course, president elect joe biden has a fraud legacy here in iraq in 2011. he oversaw the withdrawal of at that time,

$150000.00 troops from the country which some believe created for a tile environment for eisel to take over. so that is something that many will be remembering, and many officials have already expressed hope that president elect joe biden will have a different policy both from trump, as well as from obama, deserves some of the 14 reporting live from baghdad. and how sure hope is here in doha with a look at what impact biden presidency will have in the gulf. region cuts are quick to congratulate joe biden, very little from. it's not neighbors. the nations who are blockading karsa. how will president present presidency of fact, the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia, particularly to do with the war in yemen? well, edwin joe biden said during the campaign that he will withdraw u.s. military assistance to saudi arabia because of the war in yemen. if that happens,

it's going to be a major setback for saudi arabia because without the intelligence sharing with the americans and the weapons they're getting from the americas, there's absolutely no way they make any headway in the, in the war in yemen. so far they haven't been able to make any significant gain. we are likely to see saudi arabia further scrutinised in the most likely, joe biden is going to give the united nations the biggest say in trying to bring about a peaceful solution to the crisis. president obama. so how do you who lives inside inside the arabia, has congratulated beda by then hoping that this could lead to a new era in the country. by then we have to deal with a complex political landscape in yemen. suspicious movement, backed by the united arab emirates, is threatening to break away from the north. is losing ground, the hope is in or a further expanding their political influence. i was a while ago in touch with a syria, healthy official about the reaction to the, to the when by by then he said his leadership is meeting as we speak. and that

a statement is going to be made shortly under president trump. the u.s. has lost the initiative in places like syria and libya to under by will but change . and those are issues that biden should be really familiar with. because when he was vice president, thousands of activists took to the streets of syria and libya, calling for an end to autocracy and the beginning of democracy. but then the united states of america took, took another position which paved the way for other regional powers to step in and that did should rated into the bloodshed that you can see in those countries. however, there is a sense in those countries among, among the opposition, for example, in syria, that with biden, they might gets more sense of clarity about how to move forward. and they are hoping that they will get more assistance in libya. the government,

based in tripoli, see a new opening because trump has spoken to a renegade warlords. and for the libyans, this was an indication of their trump was siding with the saudis and the amenities in their push to have the have to take over. and this explains the message that was sent yesterday from phase the settlers. congratulate in by doing that hoping that this could mean that the near future, this will be the beginning of the end of highly for hafta and more assistance provided to the internationally recognized government which is based in tripoli. and should, or should we expect any sort of change in behavior by saudi arabia,, the u.a.e. and particularly concerning their blockade of qatar. i wouldn't personally, and that is to me, the massive ramification of the election yesterday. and what we have on this part of the world, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, had the backing of trump in the past. and any attempt, if you remember,

seems to 1017 to end the blockade were met by a resistance from the amenities of the saudis. who have the ears of trump. now there is someone else who's going to take over the white house and joe biden. it's quite clear during the campaign that many things with change of this explains that . the emir of qatar, i mean, would have thought it was one of the 1st leaders in the region to send the congress . there is a code word 30 masses to joe biden. because i think qatar senses that you're beginning and more pressure now to be put on the saudis, and the emirates is to and the blockade wouldn't also be surprised. these that by before january you might see some strong indications that this, well kate is going to be over out of the recession. how about our lives? in many things, the president trump's refusal to concede is raising fears that he might undermine the transition of power. trump is promising to launch legal challenges to the election results and his campaign is demanding recounts. and that could slow

biden's transition plans which can't move forward until the government's general services administration certifies the winner. but there are laws in place designed to limit politicization during the transfer of the presidential transition act, gives civil servants significant power for the transfer of data that expertise to the incoming administration. let's bring in tom brooks, who is the dean and a professor of law and government at durham more school in the u.k. . good to have you with us, tom. so as we were saying, the results haven't yet been certified by this not yet officially, president elect and president trump has not conceded. so what happens now? well, what's going to happen now is that biden will be certified as the president elect the normally recounts. can, can lead to some variation in the numbers, but nothing close to the many,

tens of thousands across multiple states that trump would need. so the chance of winning on recounts is nil. and the, in the legal challenges amount to nothing at all. they've already been $11.00 court, i think in wisconsin, already threw it out, is just a matter of, of hearsay and i'm guessing and no new evidence or facts. so i think that, you know, it's just a matter of time, but it will be president elect and will be getting all this transition. so what does a transition team do? this, at this point want to mentions, lots of lawyers will the, the, one of the main things that the tradition will be about will be about appointing a number of people that had various agencies in the united states. the be the head of all the different different departments are presidential appointees so he will be expected to be making about

a 70 appointments for the next next week or so. there might be $300.00, they think, maybe by the end of the year, he'll be coming on with this to be getting support from the civil servants as he already has. he in kemah harris, the virtually vice president elect. now they've both been getting advice and support and they'll be getting on with that. but it's a strong position. he's been vice president for 2 terms. he's been a senator for many decades. he is deep experience. he's also the senator, former senator of delaware. so right on washington d.c. orders, so he knows washington d.c. better than anybody and has been playing since the spring, just in case trying to not give him support on tradition. so i think there'll be a fairly seamless one. but thanks to biden's preparation, anticipation that experience alone, they will see a lot of people expect from, from biden's political career. people been close to him,

but also people who are part of the obama administration professor really good to talk to many thanks. indeed, tom brooks, there are more school in the u.k. pleasure, nato secretary general, again, stoltenberg is hailing joe biden as a strong supporter of the transatlantic relationship. but it's a relationship that became strained under the trumpet, ministrations, 2017. donald trump called nato obsolete. it went on to accuse members of not paying their fair share for u.s. protection. it's a cost for the friction with berlin, announcing that he was reducing u.s. troop numbers in germany because of its quote, delinquent contributions to nato. it's a relationship that european leaders seem eager to repair and have a congratulatory message to joe biden. e.u. commission president, live on the land, says that as the world continues to change and huge challenges and opportunities appear already, new papa ship will be of particular importance. let's get some reaction now from

france. is live for us in paris is going to get an easier ride under joe biden. well, clearly you think so in his tweets a, he congratulated joe biden. he has said that nato is very important for north america or for europe, and he is hoping that the relationship with the new incoming a u.s. president will certainly be less fraught than it was with the outgoing president donald trump. because of course, under donald trump, relations with nato, with the rest, the lines were at a complete low, donald trump calling nato obsolete. he then changed his mind in 27000, after meeting install timbo, he said, look, and nato is not obsolete. however, he is actions and approach to nato really suggested that he had very little time for it. indeed, often favoring bilateral relationships with certain nato members like poland rather

than taking a multilateral approach, which is the whole point of the nato alliance. talking about things like with jury u.s. military personnel from germany demanding that european members contribute more to their defense budgets. all this sort of rhetoric and talk over the years has weakened nato, in the eyes of stoltenberg. so he will be a very happy indeed to be dealing with a president that is much more likely to take a more integrated multilateral approach that is much more likely to be supportive of the alliance. but of thanks for the potential bottle there in paris. let's get a view from russia, alexander god, for has more on the future relations with the us from moscow. 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 global issues. and for surely,

didn't forget that in 2011, he supported big putin, 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 asher, because some things that trumpeted were not standing very well with russia like are refusing to construct little talk about the last standing on to control deal or putting obstacles for the very important for russia comical project of the gas 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 threat to russian national security. and this is something that the analysts here in russia are emphasizing as something

that joe biden will do, thus making the nato stronger and taking away the one the russian member of parliament put it up. or to knit 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 better. let's bring in james more out in brussels. he's a former u.s. ambassador to egypt, jordan and yemen. good to have you with us. the same question to you as i put to our correspondent a few moments ago in paris they say the secretary general, you have stoltenberg hailing joe biden as a strong supporter of the transatlantic relationship. is going to get an easier ride on the biden, but he did, under trump. well, they certainly the prospects for close cooperation and nato is, is, is much better with the election of joe biden. but on trump and not only trump,

but also baba before him, raise the issue of european spending on defense. and i suspect that even though it will be a much warmer relationship with a nato that will continue, the americans will want europe to do more for itself in his own defense in his own neighborhood. whether it be in the mediterranean or in the east. and that's going to continue, but the context for it i think is going to be much more productive, much more constructive for commission president us live on the land was very, was congratulated towards joe biden, to all of europe's leaders. pleasure. actually the great majority do, and you can almost hear the size of relief in the air, in brussels, and many other capitals around the earth. but there are of course 2 or 3 countries in europe. that might not be quite so enthusiastic. i'm thinking particularly of the, i'm very important you have

a lot of issues on the lower rights individual freedoms where mr. biden and his team see very strong the people that are set, for example, the secretary of state of all made quite a bit of noise in the last 24 hours about those issues. and i suspect that they will come on the some pressure in those countries on the american minister chin. but overall, yes, i think the mulayam was one of them. but the vast majority of the leadership, and importantly for the people you talked to said, can we expect similar cooperation now under a bi presidency between the u.s. and europe over conflicts in places like yemen and syria? well, i think there will be more, i'm not sure about whether it will be very productive in those particular areas. but i think the most important thing is biden's commitment to come back to the iran nuclear agreement. and that's going to be something that will be on the agenda very quickly, early next year. where europe, of course, has continued to the problem in the absence of the u.s.

and its own for the last 2 or 3 years, and hoping to find biden back at the table in steam. and that will, i think, be the most important issue for european american cooperation in the region. there are many, many other issues too, but probably too early to talk about so much about that. i suspect in the middle east. i don't think there's going to be a major breakthrough nearly days of the, by the ministration. it's going to provide a bit more balance out in the last couple of years as regards israel and the palestinians. mr. netanyahu will be very carefully weighing the situation in his there right now. nobody is not terribly enthusiastic about even the american administration thought, hopefully it will, will get a bit more balance and that will be good. also, europe, which is open. so what if it will play a song on the middle east without american cars to talk to you again, as always?

many thanks. indeed, james, more on the in cross leisure. it's with us where fast approaching the midway point in this news hour. that's going to weather forecast is evident, however, that the weather is largely set fair across a good part of asia, but not exclusively got some wetter weather. now making its way across japan, some showers there on show breeze through the sea of japan, feeding those showers to that western side of honshu into hokkaido as well as some of the showers will be wintry in temperatures will struggle a little. it's going to feel a little fresher than it has done recently. 16 celsius there in tokyo 12. but choose day, at least in so light winds. it won't feel too bad. i'm into the mid to high teens across central and northern parts of china. want to see showers to the south of that towards taiwan and then we get into the real weather action where we got a couple of tropical systems in the process of developing tropical storm or depression. that sandy has now weakened. a final warning has been issued for that,

so not too much of an issue, but we're still feeling a fair amount of shabby rain towards the coast of vietnam. another system punching its way through the philippines faded, some very heavy rain to ward central and southern parts of vietnam. as we go on through choose day. and then on the other side of the philippines. here we go again . another developing feature which will feed some very heavy rain into those flood hit parts of the philippines as we go on through the way elsewhere across the region. is the usual case of sunshine and chalice. everybody, thanks still to come here., celebrations outside the white house and across the u.s., a sport has welcomed a pipe burst to the polls in a general election. millions being denied the right to vote. a story of love, family, and freedom. calling for my living years old,

you were at school. we heard the sound of large explosions and the hardships faced in captivity. they came for me at midnight. they told me to leave my son. i said, how can i contact him? i saw so much pain in the eyes of the other female prisoners. and the, our pricing on al-jazeera solitude goes hand in hand with growing old, refusing to be defined by their age. mexican women are bringing out their dancing machine and rediscovering my youth in one step at a time. my johnson hard part of the viewfinder, latin america is seeing on al-jazeera,

it is good to have you with us. hello, adrian, for the get here in doha with the news from houses here of the headlines. joe biden has delivered a message of hope, a duty to the player in victory in the u.s. presidential election, vice president elect has come a long, harris is making history. she's the 1st woman and minority to hold the job. president donald trump was playing golf. when joe biden was declared the winner of the election, he has not yet conceded and says that he'll go to court to make sure that election boards are upheld. nato secretary general stoltenberg is headed by a strong supporter of the transatlantic relationship of the tribe called the organization obsolete. head of the e.u.

says she's hopeful of a renewed partnership. has been an escalation in the conflict between as a by seanad on media as a by chance president ilham aliyev says that his troops are not control of sushi, which is one of the most important cities in the fight, given its strategic position, overseeing the regional capital of the going to kind of uk, we have correspondents on both sides of the story. in a moment we'll get reaction from our media. abdul hamid is in the oven for us, but 1st let's speak to a sullivan job. it who's in baku. what did the president of us of a shot have to say? this was the war trying to each other president has changed his project profile to him in the khakis of his military, see the district be taken by his military? this is a city that just on the other by johnny sinai and she shared on the armenian side.

it is a strategic really important town, both historically for the memory of the people who've been displaced from them to go in a car about region. and they have seen that it is a historic moment for their country. and it has been made possible because of the unity of the nation as a complete confidence in the armed forces, saying that he has fulfilled the dream of his father. and he has advanced technology and the capability of his ministries. and now that when the time was right, they had been able to liberate the strategic town. it is important because it separates the strategic supplies coming in for the armenian side of the city. also because there is a lot of hopes and aspirations that the people here in azerbaijan had tied to the city and it was much anticipated. and now right after this announcement,

you can hear behind us a little bit. you've been going around for the last couple of hours people out with their lives and saying really speaking to people in the street when they think that this is the time. and it is an indication that not just to show up, but all of the areas in the conflict conflicted area will be taken by the other by me. and it will be a matter of months before they take over the whole territory 0 as a solid job. of reporting live from, let's go to work yet. i've found that, i mean, this president says his troops are now in control of sure. you get out and says, oh no, they're not right here. and i'm acting in anything at all of this stage, or actually quite, quite that for we have heard from the president of this republic warner kind of, after he did not deny that the forces were in shushi,

as they call it here in azerbaijan. but he did say that there was still intense fighting ongoing to this stage, but this is make no mistake. this is a huge blow for the armenian side. back in the ninety's, it took it was that it took actually a battle that lasted quite a few months for them to be able to take that town is a very symbolic town in. i mean, in history, anyone would tell you here it is extremely important for them. and also because it's about 10 kilometers away from the capital step on a carrot, which he has areas called and candy. now for what we understand, a syrian forces would be about 4 kilometers away from sit by the current. certainly on social media. we have seen videos of hundreds of cars fleeing that area, some going down,

those hills coming down from shushi and others coming out of the cut about region, enjoy armenia. so it's certainly a very difficult moment for the armenian side reporting live from you out of many. thanks hoarder. all right, let's return to our top story. the south have been celebrations in cities right across the united states. people have been out in large numbers, welcoming news of joe biden's victory in the presidential election. i was there as gable as on the reports now from new york. these are packed rice matters for testers. working on the streets of the town and hand on earth. to now listen and hear is fine, but i'm not here in times square was celebrating your parent because none of you find it on a walk through the streets of manhattan or plaque like the testers. and it just

shows you how important the black lives matter movement was to mobilizing young people particular to come out to vote for joe biden. they are now taking a beating they are now taking in the middle of the street on all of those black men and women there killed in mexico's president on there as manuel lopez. obrador says that he won't congratulate any winner of the u.s. presidential election until legal challenges are over. it appears to be an attempt to avoid friction with washington during the transition of the regional leaders, a sending messages of congratulations to joe biden on latin america as a new c.n.n. has been reports. while latin american leaders may not have said so publicly, most, all along had been rooting for joe biden. he begins from

a concept which is very crucial to that. you know, megan's is that instead of putting wards 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 jacob, also noddle who's often described as the troubled from biden's 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 imperialist 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 $26.00 times, so he's certainly no stranger to this region. for starters, he's promised 14000000000 dollars 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 be a steamboat forever 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, sente, al gore, one major player on the global stage has not yet commented is china's leader champagne. katrina is in shanghai with more on what to expect with china u.s. ties. when joe biden takes charge, we may not hear from them until we have an official election result from the u.s. in joe biden's favor. but certainly there will be many people in beijing who are breathing something i relate the past 4 years of the tremendous ration have been really tough on the chinese government. we've had the initiation of the trade war. and those tariffs that just had those very tough technology restrictions that have put a lot of pressure on the chinese economy. and of course, this year, especially, we've had attack after attack from the trump administration on everything from her big 19 to the treatment we use in shin jiang in hong kong's national security law.

and all of this has really brought the u.s. china relationship to the lowest point that we've seen in decades. so many are seeing biden presidency of the chance to reset the relationship between the u.s. and china they're expecting was a return to a more conventional style of diplomacy, a less confrontational, less unpredictable approach. and also the opportunity for time in the u.s. to potentially going forward to collaborate on issues such as the environment and climate change with beijing and biden do seem to see eye to eye. that being said, that doesn't mean that beijing is likely to celebrate this. indeed, during my and it is likely to present more challenges to china in the sense that he has expressed an interest in strengthening ties with european allies. for example, they may build a bloc and use that bloc to pressure china to take some actions regards to the economy regards to trades, that could be rudely challenge from beijing going forward. so what are some of the

priorities for joe biden's foreign policy agenda? well, donald trump started the trade war with china. your agenda confronted on security, intellectual property rights and blamed it for the spread of the coronavirus. joe biden says he wants to work with allies to maintain pressure on china of the trade, and she won rights. trump was the 1st sitting u.s. president to be the norm, korean leader. but despite meeting kim jong il and 3 times, he's been unable to persuade pyongyang to give up its nuclear arsenal. biden says he will not only meet kim unless he agrees to roll back his nuclear program for us . it's a spring and steve oaken in singapore. he's a senior advisor at mcclatchy associates and was a deputy general counsel at the u.s. department of transportation. good to have you with us again, we were hearing earlier in the program that there was almost a little sigh of relief in many european capitals when news broke of, of joe biden winning the election. was that the same across the asia pacific region?

well, across most of the asia pacific reason it was because joe biden is going to take a multilateral approach to the region. he is going to work with the countries in the region on reforming in liberalizing trade. but he's also going to work within the region multilaterally, i'm climate change, he's going to work within the region, multilaterally climate addressing coded and preventing future pandemics. and so that multilateral approach is going to be the benefit to the benefit of most countries in the region and ultimately all at the end of the day. so how is the relationship between the u.s. and china going to change under president joe biden? well, biden campaign in the biden camp has put it, you know, donald trump has been tough on china, and joe biden is going to be tough but effective. he is going to continue to confront china where it needs to be confronted, such as on its unfair trade practices. and that's where the terrorists came in.

because these terrorists, who were in retaliation for china's unfair trade practices, when it came to forced technology transfers or cyber theft or not protecting intellectual property rights, will continue to confront them there. but he will also cooperate with them on things like climate change and pandemic. and then he's going to compete with china, he's not going to cede the development agenda in asia to the road initiative, but you're going to see more engagement and more funds coming in to the region from the united states. so it is going to be a much different dynamic for china, and i think you are going to have a much more effective approach to china and that is going to force china to change much more so than just the unilateral tariffs that the trumpet ministrations placed on state free tickets to have any thanks. attain stevo can in singapore one of joe biden's, delicate foreign policy challenges will be an afghanistan where u.s.

troops remain 20 s., . invading the taliban are in talks with the afghan government off the u.s., signed a peace agreement with the taliban earlier this year for the whole country foolery reports. now from kabul, afghan president asked for afghani earlier this morning along with of their senior afghan officials like dr. up to line former president harm coming karzai gradually to president elect, joe biden, and vice president elect, kamla kerry saying, and i quote of galveston looks forward to continuing and deepening our multi-layered strategic partnership with the united states. calling the united states afghanistan's foundational partner. this happened this morning. now most of the reaction we've been getting here is in social media from ordinary afghans who have been reflecting presidential spokesman subjects to dicky, said yesterday that there is a perception here in afghanistan that

a joe biden victory will bring changes both in the pre peace process and the troop withdrawal. now the peace process has not been going exactly as people had hoped for. same thing with the u.s. taliban deal that was signed at the end of february. it has done nothing here on the ground to reduce the file. the violence, in fact it has been doing exactly the contrary. like you mentioned, violence has been increasing by the day. neither is any twit that appeared in my eyes is all this yesterday was by an afghan. who said americans now got what they had hoped for. now we're hoping that one day we will get what we hoped for, and this is peace. people in the ancestral village of vice president elect's carla harris, india, a celebration of victory and a serious elizabeth for ana, is in new delhi, a spoken to carla harris. uncle, about what her election means to the family and to the people of india. we did hear

from prime minister congratulating joe biden on what he picked a victory. he went on to congratulate her on the patients all over her ancestral village. and distributing sweets and to talk more about this, we are joined by common to have this maternal maternal uncle 100 gopalan. very good to have you with us on al-jazeera today. the firstly, what does this victory mean for you and for your family? personally, i'm hardly going to really mean much

harder than when this you go. oh, i don't know how to use and read. i'm a really honest out of the is a lot of the good i know that you spoke to come and a half hours to the few days ago. and you said that she was completely calm and confident. tell us about that one or all known for dirty morning or my daughter's attire, so they're called all the laws of my life. and i mean, come on, i was jogging with all of us very easily. our young girls, i was my wife and everybody was there call me like, you know, going to vince or does your vitals or their drug? you know what i'm gong, the thing was she was the one of course. i didn't call them this means they didn't

feel any sense of the moment in order to initiate a call talking to jordan for 1015 years. so i didn't know them other confident that one of them. i could then doubt it because i am confident there were. so that all the fuss was a fuss on the order of you and you know, the u.s. is india's most important bilateral partner. and just quickly do you think that the relationship between the u.s., and india will change with the bite and how it's presidency. n.p.r. the u.s. relationship is very strong,, the foundations are rejected. and india has and u.s., congress is the biggest national congress. there's a bipartisan support for everything with india. and there's no outstanding poll driven as she was in india. and you noticed it, therefore, does not. you should that need the intervention of the president of the wasters or so i don't think it would make much difference on the hit on that there might have

slight influence. this is the news are from our sarasota. come on,, the program is not just the u.s., but livia is getting a new president to he's a former banker. we'll take a look at the challenges facing dissecting the headlines in the midst of a pandemic. let's start with some of the on the ground realities affecting the news coverage. what's the lay of the land there? stripping away the spin, a gripping story about presidential corruption. it is real reporting. it's not if you keep challenging assumptions and the official line. we all of this type of agreement that our score we don't want to lie on the authority and it's media listening post on out is they were. busy held for over 3 years in an egyptian prison cell, denied their right to a fair trial. no charges have been brought against al jazeera correspondent,

mahmoud. you're saying his crime journalism to demand more neutral links and boy solidarity with all detained journalists. sign the petition. busy to say org again, voting is on the way in manaus general election despite white's groups calling it fundamentally flawed, more than 37000000 people eligible to vote, but a round tuit off 1000000 ethnic minority people are being excluded from. the poll has little to no official representation for some of its own r.c.

groups, and the fall is live for us in yangon. how enthusiastic lee of people voting that today. it's been surprisingly enthusiastic. in fact, the turn i was in much higher than people were expecting that been a lot of speculation that the numbers would be quite low. partly because younger no myanmar is experiencing a 2nd wave of covidien numbers are rising every day. so people worried that health reasons and fear of covert spreading would cut people off for those also speculation that disillusionment with the with the majority of the ruling party b n r d would put people off. but actually, the reality was the long lines from early doors, the polls opened 6, we saw people queuing up to full about the event. we saw them right side, the polling stations for most of the day, he's around the country and specially the polling stations. we went to in yangon,

so the expectation is that the end of the will win again. and by quite a large number, we were thinking the numbers just because of the fact that there would be a low turnout that they might not get quite the majority. they got before, but it does seem some of the people who spoken to from the enthusiasm, the streets. they are expected to win and vote counting is under way. so we should know in a couple of days and start to get an idea even tonight or tomorrow. morning. ok. as we had this election fundamentally flawed, more than 2000000, people who've been excluded from this poll process disrupted anywhere in the country to either no, it's actually run surprisingly smooth made today. i think there was a lot of singing in the scene. a lot of tension, obviously, about areas where there's been both cancellation, a lot of talk about an ethnic minority areas being very disappointed. a lot of

accusations of role of old miss comes to by the union election commission, the tension between the army and it was a few days ago. there was an explosion at election commission office that people could be the beginning of something more. but actually, the day has run quite smoothly and people have been very enthusiastic. there's been a lot of people out here. you can see people right here walking around with their little pinkies because they, you know, they want to show they voted that's, that's what they do to show that they've cast their votes already to stop people voting twice. and it has been surprisingly, surprisingly smooth. even though a lot of areas have a lot of people have been disenfranchised because even in those areas it's as far as i know, been reporting live there from yangon and me. but i think livia's president elect will be sworn in on sunday. the fall of angkor wat

not in public investment. that is where we mark a difference from the miniature refund. we're going to boost public investment and we have to be strict with spending but economy. it won't be easy when the mass party was in power in the past there was an economic boom that gave the money to help the population. but latin american bolivia are in crisis. bolivia has a 13 percent deficit in the past year, racist discourse and region. i rivalries have remerge been a country torn between i return and white and a poor indigenous highland west. small protests have been on the rise in recent days. for most people are says, presidency is a fresh start for bolivia's democracy and a chance to leave at turbulent behind. that is how well that was a busy, there's a lot of back to update your just a few moments here on our series. i'll see you go 1st watching my fellow.
