a 2nd jim i want to start with alan fischer at the white house and in washington i remember when donald trump used to criticize president obama for going to the golf course too much twice in 2 days with an election only a few days ago. exactly he said he would be too busy working for the american people to spend his time on the golf course said he'd probably never see his golf courses again but he's got more than 200 days during his 4 years in office far more than any president in modern time he has taken time to tweet this morning you'll know here in the united states most of the networks have a sunday political shows where they get a lot of big names on to talk about the events of the week one of the been talking about this week well it's been the election and we know that donald trump has been very keen on one channel at least because they've had a couple of people supporting him one pollster saying that there should be a question mark over the whole election because there is evidence of irregularities

he said historically pittsburgh sorry historically philadelphia and detroit have it issues and if there are any problems then that would cause the whole election to be called into newt gingrich former speaker of the house big trump supporter his wife is the ambassador to the vatican city saying that donald trump really needs to wait till all the votes are counted we're still in that process before he even begins to think about conceding the presidency well a couple of other people have been speaking mitt romney former senator. senator former candidate for president he said there should be a graceful transfer of power and lindsey graham one of don't try to biggest supporters after being one of his biggest critics says there's no way he should give up the election at the moment we are told there are a number of people close to donald trump who are thinking about going to him and saying look conceding would be better for you it would be better for the public but donald trump has said that he's going to start examining all legal avenues to

challenge this election in the courts 1st thing on monday morning he shows no sign of conceding this election. alan fischer look in the white house there in washington d.c. thank you now down to wilmington delaware joe biden's home state and jamal shale would wear a brace the president elect just taking a moment to breathe this morning after the excitement of the day before. looks like our link with jamal has frozen they're not coming back ok we'll try to talk to me get a little bit later. peaceful transfer of power something i want to look at whole lot of american democracy now that joe biden's won the election we have to consider what if donald trump continues to refuse to accept defeat well the transfer of power has begun whether he likes it or not the biden harris team is in the process of filling $4000.00 roles in the government as they prepare to take the reins after

each state certifies its results electors then meet in december to cast their votes for the president and the vice president their results will then be certified by the new congress on january 6th and then according to tradition for what traditions worth with donald trump he would be expected to attend the inauguration ceremony at the u.s. capitol on the 20th of january when joe biden will be sworn in as president and come to harris as vice presidents of trump's lawyers was somehow able to vacate the election or delay its results beyond that date they would be a line of succession triggered in actually that's the speaker of the house would become president instead let's hear from john brooks dana and professor of law and government at darden law school in the u.k. who explain to us what the next few months will look like in the lead up to a bite in administration. what's going to happen now is that biden will be certified as the president elect the. normally recounts can lead

to some variation in the numbers spread but nothing close to the many tens of thousands across multiple states that trump 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 courts i think it was concentrating threw it out just a matter of of hearsay and guessing and no new evidence or facts so i think that you know it's just a matter of time but will the president elect's and we'll be getting on this transition one of the main things of the transition will be out will be about appointing a number of people that had various agencies the united states the 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 must be about $300.00 they

think maybe by the end of the year he'll be coming on with this to getting support from the civil servants as he already has here in kemah harris the virtually vice president elect now they've both been getting advice and sports and they'll be getting on with that they will see a lot of people expect from from biden's political career people who've been close to him but also people who are part of the obama administration so let's return to jamal shale in wilmington delaware joe biden's home state where i was asking you before jamal what is the president elect been up to after the big night of celebration. welcome or he came for maybe a moment of reflection maybe to pay thanks he is a practicing catholic so he attended mass here in his local churches the same church that he went through the morning of election day after that he paid respects to his late son who he identified as one of the people who convinced him to run for

office so it was a big part of why he challenge trump for the presidency and ultimately one aside from the personal kind of. trips that he made this morning as we heard in that speech that he gave late on saturday the focus of the by then harris interim or rather transitional rather team is now to put all their attention on what they should be the biggest challenge the biggest threats facing the united states right now that is covert and all the impact it's had both in terms of health the united states having over $100000.00 positive cases every single day over the past 3 days as well as the economic impact they're talking about a new stimulus bill that they would like to push through government once they take office in germany obviously that would be helped a lot more if they're able to as the democrats winning those 2 outstanding senate

seats in georgia earlier in the in the year but those are the the folks as of it's they've gone live with their build it back better websites which is the transitional web sites where they'll be putting news of what they're going to do but right now it seems maybe taking a bit of a pulls after that celebration and back to work on monday when they start announcing that covert task force thank you the update from jamal shell there in wilmington delaware. we have heard from the nato secretary general jens stoltenberg who is hailing joe biden as a strong supporter of the transatlantic relationship which became strained under donald trump in 2017 he actually called nato obsolete and went on to accuse members of not paying their fair share for u.s. protection he later caused further friction with berlin announcing he was reducing u.s. troop numbers in germany because of its quote delinquent contribution to nato but it's a relationship european leaders seem eager to repair in her congratulate her message

to joe biden the e.u. commission president of the vanderlei and said as the world continues to change a new challenges and opportunities appear our new partnership will be of particular importance. in paris as many your leaders will see the election of joe biden as a reset in u.s. relations. i think the several e.u. leaders will be now looking to joe biden to restart a more multilateral approach to foreign policy after years of donald trump's america 1st policy in his unilateral approach we saw trump for example pulling the us out of the palace climate deal out of the iran deal the j c.p.o. way both dossiers that a very close to the hearts of many leaders had worked very hard to achieve them so i think the e.u. leaders will be certainly celebrating last we heard from many of them the french president emmanuel mack role saying congratulations to biden the german chancellor

talking about the irreplaceable relationship that there is between germany and the united states in the foreign minister of germany perhaps in a way summing it up because he said that he is looking forward to a reach set a new deal if you like between the u.s. and germany but it almost could be seen as a new deal between the u.s. and the e.u. and what he's talking about is a new type of transatlantic relationship wiping away if you like some of the past 4 years and having a relationship in which the u.s. acts more predictably is a more reliable partner has to be said there of course not all your leaders would feel the same because we have some leaders leaders of poland for example hungary venia who had openly supported donald trump in the news ahead more on reaction to job and when including what some world leaders are choosing not to congratulate the president. and celebrations go beyond the u.s.

we will speak to him come our says uncle as people in india celebrate hope. i am. hello we've got some wet weather in the forecast for the middle east is something of a north south split you can see plenty of cloud across northern parts of the region that cloud sinking is way down across iraq northern areas of saudi arabia and there you go you can see some showers there through syria pushing across iraq more than parcel of saudi arabia south of that it is generally dry 32 celsius here in doha on monday. it'll go on into watches day but asked that he could be pleasant enough the priest starting to pick up a little but it won't be too bad the showers they continue to the north of that may be saying some wet weather also creeping into iran little drier than it has been

recently across the eastern side of the mediterranean well listen went to weather not too far away from here it's also want to show as to how they sell them and all of the red sea western policy of yemen could see some showers and the showers continue unabated across central and southern parts of somalia or odd across central africa into the gulf of guinea more of those showers to just started to create for the south once again it's in more than possible angle a bang got a not quite as wet as it should be at this time of the year some heavy showers started to push their way back into tanzania as we go on through tuesday some really heavy rain across the eastern side of south africa but fine to the west. from fossil fuels to modern day renewable as societies develop the energy demands increase requiring innovative solutions to meet such the mountains as a global power development of investment company nebraska power is uniquely

positioned to deliver against the state amounts we provide business growth promote social economic benefits and provide innovative safe and fire mentally sound energy solutions for future generations no pressure how high in the ring future energy. rule. or. so these are the top stories this hour on al-jazeera joe biden vowing to heal america's deep political divide and to tackle the coronavirus in his 1st message since being declared president elect this morning he's attended a church service in his home state of delaware with family members after a night of celebration. left at the white house this morning for a visit to a golf course in virginia he was met with several protesters supporting biden on

the way trump is yet to speak publicly but is threatened legal action in an attempt to overturn the election. and congratulations and messages of support have been sent to both biden and hire a spy leaders around the world countries like germany india and carter have all expressed a willingness to work together to develop closer ties with the united states. well not just european leaders expecting a shift in u.s. foreign policy governments across the middle east are also reevaluating their relations with the world's superpower diplomatic editor james bass has more from the united nations in new york. iran certainly is one of the priorities for this new administration who generally the 20th the biden administration as it will be has said it will go back into the iran nuclear deal that might well be easier said than done now iran probably will want some concessions from the u.s. after the 4 years of donald trump and although i think we're going to see all

around the world countries seeing the u.s. is moving to a more traditional u.s. policy u.s. leadership in the world a more traditional type of president i don't think the 4 years of president trump are going to be forgotten and i think it's going to be in everyone's mind because going forward in 4 more years you could have don't trump back in the white house you could run again or you could have another champion can do that so i'm not sure entirely that it's business as usual as it has been since the founding of the united nations at the end of world war 2 with the international order which very much had the u.s. in a global leadership role yes europe and others will like to see the u.s. back in that role but i'm not sure they're going to be able to rely on them the same way they have in the past we've heard from the head of the world health organization congratulating joe biden this is

a tweet here my colleagues and i look forward to working with you and your teams so up to the director general crises like over 1000 showed the importance of global solidarity in protecting lives and livelihoods together well biden's win and the pledge to focus on the pandemic comes as the u.s. reported a 4th day of record high infections he spoke to the chief program officer at the national association of county and city health officials he says the most important step right now is to rebuild the trust in public health. well i think a couple things that are important in the plan that speaks to better rollout of testing and more specifically about ensuring that it's not just about taxing about men but that there's equitable distribution so my organization for example represents the 3000 counties up to form its course country and i'll be honest the workforce issues are tantamount to great concern because several of our members

have been doing this for 9 or so months and the reality is there's a significant stress on that work there's a lack of funding even though there's been cares out here is that dollars just the the the bureaucracy perspective getting funded to those who are on the ground has been important so it will be very essential that this new task force does look at the larger picture and show that they are right at what it will stakeholders at the table and that there is this kind of camaraderie it should say in ensuring that we at least address in those significant deficiencies those critical meets not just vaccines but critical cabin measures and how to really build active faith in public that in that is anything out one of our biggest concerns no one is going to listen to you if they don't have to bates and trust in what you're saying well celebrations marking the election of joe biden and calm the harris didn't just happen in the u.s. people were gathering in harris's ancestral village in southern india villages late

fireworks they made murals they shared food to congratulate harris on the new position a maternal grandfather was born in this village in tamil nadu state her late mother moved to the united states aged 19 to study at the university of california elizabeth puranas in new delhi she spoke to come to her thoughts uncle about what her election means to the family and the people of india. we did hear from prime minister. congratulating joe biden on what. he went on to put. on the. patients. 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. who cannot really mean much. harder than when they're few. and rather not really honest. out of this. is a good. i know that you spoke to come and a half hours just a few days ago and you said that she was completely and confident tell us about that one or. for 30 morning. then she my daughter's attire so they're called me have been a long 630. group all the laws of my life in mexico as well as on the.

i'm coming i was jogging with all of us. very easily our young girl i was my wife and everybody. going to insert by donald for their drug you know a time younger the thing was hugh other 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 had them down right because i am confident there were so that all the fun. on the order you and you know the u.s. has india's most important bilateral partner and just quickly do you think that the relationship between the u.s. and india will change with a bite and have its presidency n.p.r. u.s. relationship be released from the rejected. and india

as and u.s. congress is the biggest national there's a bipartisan support for everything with india that float and there's no outstanding point you can if you listen yeah i mean it just it therefore does nor you should that need the intervention of the president of the right. so i don't think it would make much difference on the hit on that there might have slight influence the mexican president on press manuel lopez obrador says he won't turn graduate any winner on to legal challenges or over his train attempt to avoid friction with washington during the transition but other regional leaders are sending messages of congratulations to joe biden is out latin america at the same human 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 the generic us is that instead of putting wars.

or building walls you have to work for the relevant. you know numbers of cooperation 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 propelling 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 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 be a state. 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 adol. there is other news going on in fact an

escalation in the conflict between us about john and armenia as of john's president says his troops are now in control of sure when the most important cities in the fight in the disputed region of the going are. what makes capturing such a big prize is that it's long played a pivotal role in these conflicts in the region it overlooks the regional capital step out of kurds and it's from there that azerbaijan shelled the city in the 1st we're going to cut about war but also sits on the main highway connecting armenia troops to panic it really is capture of the war in 1902 was a turning point in the conflict and it's been celebrated by armenians ever since but right now as you'll see this report from osama bin in azerbaijan's capital it's they're celebrating out.

there liberating what they say has been a victory in the making for the many many months they say shusha is not a strategic border but it has an emotional importance for them as well we've been seeing people of all ages from all backgrounds coming in the streets celebrating the victory president said he's been able to do it with the birth of not just his military but the people standing behind him there have been conflicting reports about whether the shot had been taken or not there's been the last 48 hours there's been a lot of fighting that's been happening around the city but the people here say that they are behind their military and their president and they're hoping that this will be the beginning of the recapture of the hilted free open tested liberal in the region and his sort of the made in capital yet of on where she says i mean he is contesting claims that sure has actually been taken by observation. i mean is

actually saying the. as they call it here has not fallen yet has not been retaken by by john in that tweet made by the ministry of defense said that the fight was still ongoing in that area it was described as a heavy fighting. going something similar along those same lines was issued by the ministry of defense of the self-proclaimed republic of not gore. so there is a belief here that that hasn't happened yet that it is a difficult fight it is difficult. to have approached very closely to do town but some people do when you speak to them they say that they have. already if any force is actually inside the city or not there is a realisation that things are difficult for the armenian side but people do say here that they have to continue despite to the end that has by johnny think that.

as they call it is important for them well i mean is would tell you that shushi is also of loaded with them 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. if european prime minister abu ahmed is ordered the immediate replacement of top government officials the foreign affairs minister the head of intelligence and the army's top commander have all been removed from office there's not been an official statement yet the decision comes after abbie ordered military action in ethiopia's region earlier this week meanwhile the president of the region has told reuters that the region will defend itself until the federal government agrees to hold talks. to michel's federal government forces continue to target the area with airstrikes. and bolivia's new president luis archer has been sworn in at

a ceremony in the left wing leader has promised to rebuild the country after a year of political unrest has landslide victory in october signaled a revival of the socialist mass party after former president evo morales fled bolivia last year the country's been run by a right wing interim government ever since last year's disputed election. half past the hour on al-jazeera these are the headlines joe biden has vowed to heal america's deep political divide and to tackle the coronavirus pandemic in his 1st message since being declared president elect of the united states as more exit tended to church service in his home state of delaware with family members after a night of celebrations have been congratulations and messages of support been sent to joe biden and come to harris by leaders all over the world countries like

germany india and qatar have all expressed a willingness to work together to develop closer ties with the united states.
