opponents as our enemies they are not our enemies there are murderers. wearing white in honor of the women who a century ago fought for the right for women to vote vice president elect kala harris acknowledged her own historic accomplishment. but 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 that 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 votes that president trump was ahead by 2 days ago that disappeared. and we have no way of knowing because we were deprived of the right to inspect it if a single one of those ballots was legitimate. on monday the trunk campaign insists it will launch a series of legal challenges for now it appears president trump has no plans to concede. have thought of washington i was there as alan fischer is there for asylum the president is up and has been tweeting what's it been saying. well he's really been retreating is been retreating a pundit who's appeared on his favorite news channel fox news in the last hour saying that look there could have been problems with the way that the voters the

votes were tabulated that historically there have been problems in places like pennsylvania and detroit and therefore there could be a question over the entire election that would suggest that the president isn't about to give up the fight he's in the white house as you see it's a beautiful day here in washington surprisingly warm for this sadly in november so i suspect he might well be heading to the golf course as well i would if i was him and we know that there are those there's reporting in washington d.c. that we can't confirm that suggests the jerry commissioner is going to approach don't try and suggest a concession might be best for the country there's also a report on fox news that says the president under some conditions would consider an appropriate transferred of power or just point on that it's really not up to him it's in the constitution it's in the law and there will be a transparent power with nor strings attached whether he likes it or not come january 20 twentieth's at 2021 what donald trump is hoping for and some pundits

have been talking about this is that the results go to the states to be confirmed and they are hoping that because a lot of the states such as georgia have got republican legislatures if joe biden wins in georgia then the legislature there more and confirm the result therefore that could cause a problem but that would also cause a constitutional crisis so you can see why there are those in the president's orbit who think that gerry commissioner is his closest adviser should go term and say look it would be better for you and better for the country if there was a can say. and you just walked away but there are plenty of others in his orbit who believe that he can continue to fight this that there are groans for 'd legal challenges at the claim that dead people voted they claim that mail in ballots were sent to people who should never got them they're claiming there was ballot stuffing

that observers weren't allowed to see what was going on when votes were being counted so that opened the possibility for some sort of electoral fraud they think there are enough groans to take this to the court and if that doesn't want to keep appealing this all the way up to the supreme court where they believe that with 3 of the 6 conservative justices have been appointed by donald trump on the 9 person panel they would rule in favor of him but again that could cause a constitutional crisis because many of these republicans are looking at the same data that we're looking at which is why media organizations call states for sent candidates so it seems as if there are some who want donald trump to graciously concede and make a statement to that effect but from all we're seeing from donald trump's twitter feed in the last hour that seems to be the last thing on his mind and reporting live from washington many thanks allan this go live now to wilmington delaware. which is joe biden's hometown jamal sheil is there for us what are we expecting to

happen there today jamal. well we're outside the church that the president elect frequency is a devout catholic and is expected by the attend the mass that's just about to start so maybe there's another one in about 90 minutes from now the church behind me also has a graveyard where his son beau is buried it was his son who he said convinced him to actually contest these elections it was his final wish on his deathbed something that he frequently mentioned he had come to destruction on the morning of election day and therefore it is something significant as far as he's concerned in terms of movements from the transitional team as it is now going to be referred to high on the agenda is. the virus that's has impacted the united states great to be with

you know roughly 100000 plus positive cases every day over the past few days with so many people who've died as a result of the economic consequences that's has entailed true he is setting up a task force that's will be drawing up policies that are hoped far as the biting camp are concerned to make things take things in a different direction than what they have been and donald trump some of the speculations is that biden presidency would mandate the wearing face masks on federal property so things like public transportation up and down the country something that people believe would have and can still save tens of thousands of lives here in the united states from an international perspective there is expectation that biden administration would take things in a different direction through particularly when we're looking got re. membership

into the world health organization. coming back into the fold of the pirates climate treaty as well as other things as well biden has said. but his victory would change the course not just for things the message to be in the united states but also internationally and reinstates what he said was respect for america or across the world obviously that is depending on where in the world you're looking at it's on how those policies impacted domestically he is hoping to try and bridge the gap that's has further expanded. this very tightly and hotly contested election the divisions in the united states being. true over the past few years particularly it comes to things like racism. and how that's impacted many people across the country through our series tomorrow shall reporting live from wilmington delaware many thanks indeed will our joe biden won the race for the white house israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu offered his congratulations to the president

elect during president trumps 10 years the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as the country's capital the controversial move was described at the time as a kiss of death for the peace process by palestinian officials let's go live now to western sirus harry forces there what did benjamin netanyahu have to say in his message of congratulations and what's been the reaction from palestinian leaders harry. we're starting with benjamin netanyahu he had a difficult and has a difficult line to walk because of all the world leaders who've had a reason to relationship with donald trump his has been by far the closest he's cleaved very closely to this extremely unpredictable and unorthodox u.s. president and so he waited quite a long time before congratulating him and when he did so it came 1st in his twitter feed which is headed by a ban a photograph of him in the oval office sitting next to the u.s.

president and the congratulations were. very but they weren't quite what they were 4 years ago and he was quite congratulating donald trump in a similar way he congratulated joe biden and camelot horace didn't precisely say what for he didn't mention his being elected as 46 president and indeed come allow heiresses vice president but he congratulated them said that that he and biden had had a 40 year long warm relationship we look forward to working with both biden and harris in the future he also went on to thank president donald trump for what he had done for israel in the last 4 years and i think that is the key thing he has to try and find a way to define himself and you not just to the new president of the united states next year but also to his own electorate because he has branded himself here as the one israeli statesman who could've secured the kind of concessions that he's got from the united states from his incredibly friendly relationship with donald trump

and he's had some criticism for that for splintering bipartisanship in the united states between republicans and democrats when it comes to israel as well as a lot of credit as well as 70 percent or service ratings when polled said that they would see a donald trump presidency continuing as being best for israel as far as the palestinians are concerned well this really does put into deep question if not totally dispensing with the idea of the trump peace. plan and any imminent at least u.s. approved israeli an extension of the occupied west bank so there are many palestinian leadership figures who are very relieved and expressing that relief publicly the president mahmoud abbas congratulated joe biden come on harris as well and so that he looked forward to working with the new u.s. president to secure independence and freedom and dignity and justice for the palestinian people and peace and stability and security in the region there are

those within the palestinian movement who are trying to get away from giving too much credence and too much weight on the u.s. as a potential broker and leader for a peace process certainly joe biden has a huge amount on his plate and so this conflicts long running conflict might not be the top of his agenda but there is an expression of relief that the trunk here is at least over out zahra's harry forced to live in west jerusalem many thanks carrie . weather update next he announces here at 10 polls are now closed and men are but many say. they've been denied the right to vote in the election anymore. bolivia as a new president he's a former banker i will look at the challenges that he faces.

but. how i will start by focusing on the positive for ra asia looking lassie 5 inch rifle many with clear skies across a good part of china for the korean peninsula japan on the other hand we'll see somalia shoshanna was drifting into that western side of honshu will see some showers to the wintry night into hokkaido in a similar pictures to go through monday's a cool breeze that northwesterly so temperatures no higher than around while 1617 maybe 18 degrees 40 won't be that warm to the north of that get up to around 15 in a sock attempt just to pick up a little for solace to go through choose day with a high pressure there light winds 12 celsius won't be too bad it seems that for beijing you can see the dry weather across a good part of china although we will see some wet weather just sliding towards taiwan that a bit of a wet weather into west franker over the next day or so maybe somewhat weather 2 to the fos out of india but for much of south asia over this last week clear skies

well again this is al jazeera let's remind you of the main news this hour joe biden has delivered a message of hope and unity to declaring victory in the u.s. presidential election vice president elect's come on how this is making history she's the 1st woman and a person of color to hold the job. joe biden says his number one priority is to deal with the coronavirus crisis but he's promising to announce a task force on monday more than 237000 americans have died from code 19 believe 10000000 have been infected. president trump was playing golf when biden was declared the winner of the election he's not yet conceded and says that he'll

go to court to make sure that election was held. has been an escalation in the conflict between as a by shot of the media and the disputed region of the go no color back as about john's president ilham aliyev says that his troops are now in control of shoe shop and that's one of the most important cities of the disputed region what makes capturing shusha such a big prize well the city has long played a pivotal role in that are going to cut about conflicts that overlooks the regional capital stupina cuts and is from that as a by sean shelled the city in the 1st the go to war it also sits on the main highway that connects all media to subpoena codes media's capture of the town in 1902 was a turning point in the conflict back then and has been celebrated by all medians ever since we have correspondents on both sides of the story in a moment we'll get reaction from all media al-jazeera is what a media is and you got a van the 1st to speak to

a solid in job it who's in baquba where there's something of a party atmosphere right now salah tell us why. you know an ongoing street seeing people coming out in their cars on. children breaking after their president announced that the city of shushan taken back by azerbaijan forces this is being something which has been anticipated for the last few days and be been heading in the last 48 hours the intense fighting around the city and future i would also hearing in the knocks you out was that there's been more contact on the front lines between the new go in a car bomb or even another by johnny forces but it is a day of jubilation here in the oh people have been saying that they feel that this is a victory which has been in the making for the last 3 decades you've heard from government officials as well as people who are out in the street with their children saying

that they want to celebrate they want to come out even despite the court order. because they think that the moment for their country read that in strategically important city if you take in and it is not to be important for the people that are there by gun it holds an emotional value as well it's seen as the cultural hub for the other by johnny region before it was taken by our main forces in 1902 and they feel that this is going to be a key to them taking all of those areas we also heard from the efficient spokesman for the foreign ministry and she says that although they are making gains on the minute he and the battlefield but the doors of diplomacy are open and they want the i mean side to make sure that it knows that door doors are open and lasting solution for peace is only going to come when the 2 sides sit together or or somebody thinks indeed from barker then to yet of on that spring. of the one made to what tommy is saying about this. well i mean he is

actually saying that. they call it here has not fallen yet has not been taken by them by john in that tree. made by the ministry of defense said that the fight was still ongoing in that area it was described as a heavy fighting but still going at this hour something similar along those same lines was issued by the ministry of defense of due self-proclaimed republic of not gorup karabakh so there is a belief here that that hasn't happened yet that it is a difficult fight it is difficult that they as areas have approached very closely to do town but there are some people you when you speak to them they say that they have no show really as a budget any forces actually inside that city or not is a realisation that things are difficult for the armenian side but people do say

here that they have to continue this fight to the end that has as it by johnny think that. as they call it is important for them well i mean is what david chu she is also loaded with symbolism and importance for de armenian so the message you're getting here is that it's not over yet even though they do admit that it's a difficult fight and also at the same time when this is ongoing in shushi 10 kilometers from the is that character the capital of not going to care about which . 3 there is referred to as candy there's also intense fighting the last night was described as intense shelling going on that is a very difficult situation but i mean is not giving up that's the message we're getting. don't have made reporting live from yet on many thanks indeed to hala. if you're o.p.'s prime minister i'll be ahmed has ordered the immediate replacement of

top government officials the foreign affairs minister the head of intelligence and the army's top commander of all been removed from office has not yet put on the official statement that assertion comes off the order of military action in ethiopia's to great region this week. place of water cannon the protesters who've been rallying in thailand's capital bangkok thousands of demonstrators demanded political reform and want to deliver letters to the king urging dialogue they're trying to march the wall palace 9000 security offices are reported to have been deployed scott heide is with protesters as they make that march to bangkok scrammed palace. the protesters have started their margin which you see there these mock post boxes back here what's inside of those are letters open letters from some of the protesters to the king himself now what they do is they started for democracy monument they're marching down toward the grand palace and they say they're going

to deliver these letters to the king himself obviously that's going to be a big challenge but this is symbolic because one of the 3 big things these protesters are asking for is reform in the monarchy they're also asking for the prime minister to resign and for the constitution to be written so this is one thing they're focusing on this is the largest protest we've seen in about 2 weeks this comes after a week of the beginning of the political process for these protesters but again the protesters are saying they're not going to be part of this reconciliation committee it's now in parliament the polls are now closed to me and last general election its 2nd since the end of direct military rule of national league for democracy led by aung san suu kyi is expected to win a 2nd term but with a smaller margin than 5 years ago florence lewis reports. this is what voting looks like during a pandemic mosques and physical distancing despite a surge in corona virus cases across myanmar voters were eager with some arriving even before polling stations had opened. even though the covered 19 up break seems

really bad right now i had made up my mind that i must vote in this election all my family members have voted to the national league for democracy led by. is widely expected to win a 2nd term while her international reputation has suffered because of her failure to speak up for the after they were targeted in a violent military crackdown in 2017 she remains hugely popular at home. but the analogies margin of victory is expected to be smaller this time economic growth has fallen short of expectations and ethnic conflicts persist in the country. the polls have been described as fundamentally flawed by rights group human rights watch more than one and a half 1000000 people mostly ethnic minorities want to be able to vote voting has been cancelled in more than 50 townships in areas the election commission says are troubled by unrest some ethnic political parties have accused the election

commission of trying to block votes in constituencies dominated by ethnic parties most of the ruling the minority are also excluded having been stripped of their citizenship and rights throughout the years and whichever party wins they'll have to share power with the military which is guaranteed 25 percent of the seats in parliament enough to block constitutional changes but despite the challenges voters optimistic. i think this election is very important and everyone who is already 18 should vote because one vote can change the result so everyone should vote regardless of which party they support the n l d s main opponent in this election as it was in the last is the military backed union solidarity and development party florence louis al-jazeera. bolivia's president elect. will be sworn in on sunday the landslide in last month's election but now all the focus turns to whether he can jumpstart the country struggling
