read the news and current affairs. down to 0. 0. 00 this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes u.s. president elect joe biden begins work on key policies despite donald trump's refusal to concede setting up a difficult transition of power. u.n. talks on libya get underway into this with the aim of repairing for elections after last month's signing of a cease fire agreement. one of the 7 wonders of the world reopens but under strict

coronavirus measures after being closed for 8 months. and tropical storm as it makes landfall in the u.s. state of florida after killing dozens of people in central america i'm joining us roscoe with the sports as the last neighborhood of 8 schools in stoppage time to rescue a similar line becoming at least top scorer in the lead. the transition to a biden presidency in the united states is gathering pace with some key decisions expected in the hours ahead the president elect is due to announce a task force to tackle what he says is his top priority the coronavirus pandemic on sunday biden visited a church cemetery where family members of buried including his late son meanwhile donald trump spent the day playing golf outside of washington and still refusing to concede defeat his campaign is finding legal challenges in states where he's

disputing the counting of votes they does including israel's benjamin netanyahu and saudi arabia's my. had been selman have congratulated biden on the former u.s. president and republican george w. bush also sent his best wishes to his more of what george w. bush had to say in a note that he posted on instagram he finds biden for the picture message that he delivered on saturday night as saying that he'd also called kemal horace to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice presidency he goes on though we have political differences i know joe biden to be a good it was one his opportunity to lead and unify our country and i offered him the same thing i offered presidents trump and obama i press for his success and my pledge to help another republican senator mitt romney believes trump will accept the results if his legal challenges fail but he cautioned on his use of language i

think one has to be careful in the choice of words i think i think would you say that the election was corrupt or stolen or rigged but that's unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarians around the world and i think it also discourages confidence in our democratic process here at home and and with the battle going on right now between authoritarianism and freedom why i think i think it's very important that we not use language which which can encourage. a course in history which would be very very unfortunate roselyn jordan has been following all the developments throughout the night from washington d.c. for us and muslim was saying biden getting straight down to what we do expect to happen on monday. well the president elect and his vice president elect kaamelott harris will be meeting with their version of a coronavirus task force in wilmington delaware a little later on monday there's expected to be

a photo spray so that we can actually see the members of the task force their job is going to be to determine a strategy once the vice the vice president and the senator are sworn into their new roles on january 20th so that they can try to get their arms around this pandemic and try to make it possible for life to return to normal here in the united states sooner rather than later we also expect the same time that the white house coronavirus task force which is led by the current vice president mike pence will be meeting behind closed doors on monday afternoon but we are not expecting anything beyond a readout from the white house press office about that meeting certainly the one thing that most people are going to be watching is whether the president's reelection campaign will be filing more court challenges as was threatened over the weekend certainly it's worth pointing out that most of those challenges have not

been successful so far because the judges who have had the cases brought to them either found that the arguments were specious or that there simply wasn't the evidence to justify pursuing these cases and to grant the trout campaign what it wants which is an invalidation of the efforts to continue counting the votes in states across the country and as we had from 2 prominent republicans that congratulating jeb aizen on his win but still nothing from the president himself. still nothing from the president we did see the president very briefly on both saturday and sunday but that was on his way to and from the white house so that he could play golf of course the president did speak number of times on twitter throughout the weekend but it's worth pointing out that the social media platform essentially flagged most of what the president had to say because according to

twitter his comments or his reach wheats were violating its policies on talking about the u.s. political process the website judged these ideas to be inaccurate or misleading something which twitter and other social media platforms had been criticized for not policing before the election on november 3rd muslim jordan and washington d.c. thanks frank. well the challenges facing joe biden president of the pandemic the west global recession the century and the climate crisis runnels looks ahead. once the celebrations by joe biden and kamel harris's supporters have faded the enormity of the task facing the president elect and his deputy looms ahead and i'm hard on quite a trust and confidence you placed in me. biden has pointed to the covert 19

pandemic now rampaging virtually unchecked throughout the country as his most urgent priority our work to get through getting covert under control by the time he takes the oath of office the situation may be far worse than it is now there are several months between now and when i actually takes control if the current administration doesn't do an about face we will see much more misery much more unnecessary deaths infectious disease specialists say biden must work hard to convince the millions of people swayed by trump's rejection of science and math swearing to change their behavior needs to gather the right people around him. which i know he will do he needs to get rid of those individuals who have been voicing nonscientific and unsound. bad advice some

things will be relatively easy for biden to accomplish by executive action rejoining the paris climate accords reinstating environmental protection rules eliminated under trump and reversing the so-called muslim ban but if the senate stays under republican control biden may be forced to compromise on vital matters like the size of an economic stimulus and relief legislation even more difficult to get through the senate will be biden's plans to increase taxes on high earners extend health care insurance to more americans and overhaul immigration laws we know one thing about president elect biden it's that he's somebody who has that instead of getting things done reaching across the aisle especially in a place like the senate and i think that's going to be exactly the set of attributes will be so important to getting anything done at all it's an old cliche to say after an election victory now comes the hard part but for joe biden and

campbell harris the path ahead is as steep and as difficult as that of any incoming administration in u.s. history rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. well the peaceful transfer of power has been a whole mark of american democracy biden her esteem is already in the process of filling 4000 government jobs after each state signs off on its results members of the electoral college will meet in december to cast ballots reflecting the state's vote there's also been certified by the new congress in early january and according to tradition trump would be expected to attend the swearing in ceremony of joe biden and comma harris on the 20th of january but of trump's lawyers are able to nullify the election or delay its results the speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi would step into the presidency but trump's refusal to concede is raising fears he might undermine the transition process the washington

post is reporting the head of the government's general services administration is refusing to sign a letter allowing joe biden's transition team to begin work paperwork is needed to give access to government officials of office space in agencies and the millions of dollars required to switch from one of ministration to another speak to scott lucasian professor of american politics at the university of birmingham in the united kingdom scott how much of a problem might this poses. oh it's an immediate problem in that if you cannot get access to the office as an equipment if you cannot get access to the personnel to make the handover it's like buying a new house and then having someone lock you out and being able to get into it the question is how long can the truck administration whoever is handed down the order to the head of the general services administration how long can they maintain this blockade on cooperation i think it's not unexpected however to the by harris transition team so what they're focusing on as we go ahead and set out what we're

going to do anyway i think is extremely important today that they announce the coronavirus task force with public health experts medical experts technology experts because they can be putting the measures into place that they want to proceed from day one to handle the pandemic and additionally as your correspondent noted by signaling the executive orders protecting the dreamers the young children of undocumented immigrants from deportation rejoining the world health organization protecting environmental regulations that only sets markers down and terms of where they are going so they'll do as much as possible despite donald trump's obstructions the question is just how serious will those instructions be with trump not only pursuing legal avenues to throw out the selection but spreading the distance from a should day after day after day that this election was stolen from him and indeed how long can he keep those obstructions going does there become a cutoff point a deadline whereby they simply have to vacate the white house. how long is

donald trump's dedication to the her how big is his ego when we know over the weekend that there was a division amongst his advisers we have reports that his son a large air kirshner sent people to truck to tell him look there's almost no hope that you can succeed in the legal process to overturn the selection. of saying maybe i'll leave the next delegation to tell trump what to do but by the end of the weekend trump was talking about recount rallies in other words these big gatherings he likes to appear out of no social distancing no mask but to declare this election is not legitimate so what i'm watching right now is does his daughter ivanka for example someone who trump does that tend to listen to does she say dad it's enough and even more importantly perhaps the most important washington right now person watching right now after joe biden is mitch mcconnell the republican senate majority leader over the weekend mitch mcconnell indicated he would give support to donald trump if he pursued all these legal suits in state after state after state

does mcconnell continue to support that delaying process or does he finally draw a line and choose the u.s. system over the current occupant of the white house very and see him days away of course we'll keep watching as well scott like us thanks for joining us there from banning him. thank you both plenty more still ahead here on this news hour including. celebrations in azerbaijan off the government says its forces captured the 2nd biggest city in the going to karbala. and shocks to the turkish economy the finance minister resigns and its currency slides to record lows. plus we'll be showing you how this russian a tennis star is moving up the rankings with his latest where that's coming up the joke in sports.

over the united states political future has seen a surge on asian stock markets kinda sees in south korea 'd japan hong kong and taiwan were all up and trading began on monday analysts say asian markets are optimistic about their economic future under a biden presidency but trump's refusal to concede and threats of legal action remain calls for uncertainty stephen in chief global market strategist at axios a global institutional financial services company and he says the market seems to be responding well despite the uncertainty around trump's plans. it's amazing really because we've gone from this blue wave sweeps scenario where the market was embracing to now almost congressional gridlock but the market seems to like this over in asia the big impulse here is 8 the escalation of u.s. and china trade tension that's just carrying the day we're seeing a huge drop in volatility in the region we're seeing a strengthening of local currencies and this is just attracting a lot of money back into the asian stocks quite positive day all around whether

this holds up in the midst of a global image well that's yet to be seen but so far things are so good today a low president trump has suggested he could take some legal action market seems to be ignoring that even people in his own advisory committee are telling him to concede so you know whether he's going to continue to beating the chest pushing for a supreme court to look at these voting procedures i'm not sure we'll have to wait and see how that plays out but right now the market seems to be a sage by the fact that ok we have the biden presidency but we don't have a biden presidency that's going to have all those taxes and regulations attached to it because the senate still remains a republican affair german chancellor angela merkel says the e.u. needs to stand side by side with the u.s. and that she's looking forward to working with joe biden and come to her as she says the 2 countries have fundamental values and interests and must continue

working on coronavirus climate change and terrorism congratulated harris on winning the position of vice president calling her an inspiration and she acknowledged biden's decades of experience in domestic and foreign affairs as john mccain joins us now from but live and done it really was a very fraught relationship wasn't between muckle and trump do you think all be forgiven and forgotten by them. well one interesting thing to emerge from what the chancellor had to say was that she accepted that germany and europe needs a she said in her words rightly needs to step up needs to expend more of its budgets resources on its own security people will remember that was a buzzword from the trumpet ministration but also from the obama administration of which clearly president elect biden was part as a vice president so you have there a sense that she is trying to indicate that she's been listening in the government

or at least she intends to do what can be done it's worth also recalling that she referred to the many times that she had had conversations with as then was vice president biden during his time in the obama administration so very clearly a suggestion coming from the chancellor that she can work with this person this person who will come into the white house if everything goes as is expected on the 20th of january but there will clearly be many challenges remember that the trumpet ministration had indicated it was going to withdraw some of its troops from german bases question will be can the german government put pressure on the i did ministration if and when it takes over to reverse that that's certainly something in the minds of many german politicians but today from angela merkel what message of congratulations both to joe biden and to come alarmists down again thanks very much brianna laces there from. the world health organization says says are making

body is meeting as cave in $1000.00 cases and deaths surge around the world the annual ministerial world health assembly is taking place after a shelter in session in may opening the largely virtual conference that operates a head called for scientific solutions and solidarity to combat the pandemic we might be tired of 19. but it does not tire of us yes eats preys on draws in we kind of helps but it preys on either weaknesses to inequality division denounce we shootin king and willfully ignore us sally and is in london for us until it was being discussed. well as you said the w.h.o. says it has 3 messages to share the 1st one being that covert can be beaten with

science solidarity solutions and despite the fact that more than 50000000 cases of now being reported in more than 1200000 people have lost their lives save say that some countries have shown that the virus can be controlled and prevented and their approach can be replicated elsewhere they're also celebrating the fact that for the 1st time ever the world is rallying together around a plan to accelerate the development of the vaccine the 2nd message the w.h.o. is highlighting is not to backslide on critical health goals despite economies everywhere suffering and they include achieving what they call the triple 1000000000 targets by 2023 let me just explain what that means is the aim to see 1000000000 more people worldwide benefiting from universal health coverage of the 1000000000 better protected from health emergencies and another 1000000000 enjoying better health than the w.h.o. is is highlighting the fact that the pandemic is

a stark reminder that health is the foundation for social economic and political stability and they're also going to be announcing some initiatives to tackle cervical cancer tuberculosis and influenza now the 3rd message is that we should be preparing preparing for the next pandemic now and for that they're considering a draft resolution that strengthens member states preparedness for health emergencies and ensuring that all countries are better equipped to deal with and respond and detect those cases and on the sidelines are no doubt be celebrating the fact that new u.s. president elect joe biden has come committed to rejoin the w.h.o. the trumpet ministration began with drawing from the organization in july and with the u.s. being such a key ally to the w.h.o. it will be very welcome news of biden's decision but the seventy's and you just begun and they'll be. 11000 more as it progresses ok we'll come back to use this

later thanks very much sally. now the u.s. has reported 4 straight days of new coronavirus infection rak ords on saturday more than 126000 cases and around 1000 deaths were reported at least 230000 people a name to have died with kovan 1000 in the us as total infection count is nearing 10000000. a new round of talks on libya is getting underway in tunis is capital 75 libyan representatives have been invited symbolizing the 75th anniversary of the united nations which is leading the discussions the talks are a way to assess or set up the groundwork for possible elections well the president of tunis here addressed the gathering saying peace in libya in the region relies on unity between all libyans. libya's unified nation some people talk of western and eastern libya but we told him that libyans are one people this kind of rhetorical could lead to the division of libya's the tunisian

people refuse this because they know that all libyans refusing to stop it's a danger on the region as a whole a as it could open the door to division in other neighboring nations. harris's in tunis where these latest round of talks taking place in which libyans rather than and what are they hoping is going to come out of this meeting. well what's happening in tunisia is a continuation of talks that have taken place but it's the 1st meeting of the 2 lizzie in so excuse me of the libyan political dialogue for them that's the $75.00 delegates that are broadly representative of libya and that's according to stephanie williams the acting special envoy from the u.n. to libya she's an american diplomat and she's already spoken this morning in arabic addressing the delegation and telling them you are on the very edge of a new libya after years of war so what's the aim well in

a word the aim of this delegation is elections these delegates are tasked with coming up with a roadmap that's the un's forward to hold elections as soon as possible and what the to come up with that roadmap is essentially a blueprint to lead it to set a clear mechanisms for those elections to take place and result in one single unified libyan government so fractured is libya that there are 2 rival administrations each claiming to be the legitimate one and so new hared from the prime minister there which is in president they are cautioning against the partition of libya so the u.n. believes that elections are the best means to address the crisis in the cut in situations and bring an end to this long p.d.f. of transition ok there is supposed to be a week of talks and so we'll be following those as they develop their facts very much of the introvert. now tropical storm has made landfall in the u.s.

state of florida after causing widespread damage in parts of central america dozens of people have died and more than a 1000000 displaced in honduras alone. reports. this is where rescue teams are searching for survivors. guatemala's go home villages one of many hit by a series of lance was cast by storm eater and ended. in his community of about a 1000 people live in this area authorities fear many may have been buried alive across the country more than 60000 people have been evacuated and more could follow . it's a similar scene across southern mexico and central america the storm has displaced around a 1000000 people and on doris. this u.s. army helicopter rescue some flood victims who've lost everything floodwaters have left dozens dead and scores homeless. for now entire

storms to hit the region in years. governments and rescue teams in several countries fear this may very well be the beginning. of the young al jazeera. is time now for all the weather and has. we've got 2 ways of cloud to concern ourselves with across north america at the moment we're seeing a fair bit of cloud down towards the southeast where we have tropical storm that's rattling its way and across the good parts of florida up towards the northwest another area cloud here of a wintry nature behind that cold front some very very cold air that's talking in subzero there in canada the cold air sliding all the way down across a good part of california 1617 celsius there for ally and for san francisco but the heat continues across the eastern side of the u.s. more warm sunshine coming through here at least for the time being where the to meet with that weather front some very heavy rain snow on the back edge of that

maybe some freezing rain as well for a time that will slide this way further south which of these was across the appalachians grassy pushing over towards the east coast as we go through the 2nd half of the week let's come further south where we have tropical storm 8 are continuing to cause problems across southern parts of florida here we go is punched its way across cuba southern areas of florida across the case seeing some of that wetter weather grassy making its way through miami even maryl aga could see some wet weather as you go through the next couple of days and that it will push its way up to the panhandle. still ahead head on out of there and georgia the election crisis escalates riot police fire was a cannon to disperse protesters. and claiming victory in may and while the ruling party says it's won enough seats to form the next government plus any sportsman joe following in his father's footsteps for him the driver who has just become the new champion of nascar.

ground states that favored by them. and the new round of talks on libya is underway in tunis is capsule 75 libyan representatives have been invited. symbolizing the 75th anniversary of the united nations which is leading the discussions. turkey has congratulated azerbaijan's president who says his forces have seized an important city in the disputed region shusha is the 2nd biggest city in the goanna karabakh that's where azerbaijan is fighting with armenia celebrations continued into the night in is airy capsule back to its military says the fighting in the corner karabakh is intensifying but the armenians telling a different story the spokesman for the armenian prime minister says their forces have been engaged in intensive combat or shushi as the armenians call it also says the azerbaijani forces have retreated but we have correspondents on both sides of the story in just a moment we'll get the latest from osama bin jahvid in baquba 1st let's get

reaction from armenia order. for us and i mean is insisting that she's not been taken by as the by john what are you hearing from the. well yes that's exactly right ever since. president has announced that. as an. as they call it here has fall'n own has been retaken rather by the as there is well the message coming out from here is that that's actually not yet that the fight is ongoing we also heard again this morning from the both the ministry of defense in year yerevan rather and from the ministry of defense in this self-proclaimed republican both of them saying that the fighting is ongoing saying that actually they have been able to push back the forces.

the messages that's messages coming out of nagorno-karabakh saying that they have pushed they have actually pushed back and stopped the push of forces from the south of the town of shushi now you have to expect that the armenians are going to do their best to keep their hands on that down to fight back it's very important strategically it's very important for the. political survival of the prime minister and it's also extremely important if indeed at some point there is a diplomatic breakthrough there is certainly a lot of pressure and initiative coming from russia and turkey to try to bring some sort of long lasting cease fire and kick start negotiations well if the armenians lose shushi then they will find themselves in a very weak position at the negotiation table you have to bear in mind that they have already lost a lot of territory where the some of those districts that had been occupied by

armenia since 1994 minis to look at them as a buffer zone well a lot of that territory has been lost the president saying if we're having any kind of negotiation i mean there will also have to give back the rest of those. that of that terror trip so they were find themselves in an extremely difficult situation you will see them continue to fight as much as they can either to get to get back. or at least to stop the advance of the emissary forces even though it's extremely difficult considering that the azeris do have the upper hand militarily and it has been really an uphill battle ever since this war started about 6 weeks ago now. in armenia thank you let's go now to azerbaijan and join us on a binge we've been seeing big celebrations embark on yesterday just how significant is this development in the conflict. well it

is strategically as well as emotionally very important for the other by johnny's recapture of the city of despite those claims being made by armenia it feels like it is a done deal for people of azerbaijan they have been celebrating this morning as well as waving their flags and it feels like a festive atmosphere because it is flag day national holiday here in others by john we've heard from the azerbaijani president saying that more developments of taken place since the liberation as he likes to put it of 23 villages across the point line of contact have been taken by as about johnny forces according to military sources their push is now 2 words for your friend in the direction the words the capital. which is known by the armenians and the other by johnnie's have have another name for it so it is a very intense battle understand on the front lines in various cross

these regions that are being fought over but since this development of the people of azerbaijan are buoyant they're confident and their president seems to be riding on that wave of popularity saying. their forces will not stop until they retake all of the areas which are under occupation according to them from armenian forces. in azerbaijan thank you. riot police in georgia have used water cannons to disperse protesters n.-t. blysse as they rallied against the results of october's a parliamentary election thousands of demonstrators demanded a step of the opposition accuse the ruling party of rigging the election the georgian dream party received nearly 50 percent of the ballots it's held a strong majority in parliament for 8 years but its popularity has dwindled steadily amid economic problems of enforcer walker has more from tbilisi. it's not quite clear this stage what happened who threw the 1st shot that say but.

the police were gathered in large numbers riot police used water cannon to disperse protesters the police saying that they were attempting to storm the building but block position stating that they were peaceful and that they had in no intention of committing any violent acts but certainly a lot of anger and frustration at the way in which the situation seems to have been handled we've seen people who received injuries it's not clear from whether it was from water to the power of the water cannon or other things being thrown or or other things being involved but the reason the opposition did this march is that they wanted an automated for the government to meet which was for the resignation of the head of the central election commission and for new elections to be called well obviously those demands have not been met and now the opposition group which

is basically all the political parties came in behind the governing party. now saying you know we will get a boycott parliament because we don't believe the results to be in free and fair and they think up to 10 percent of votes may have been manipulated somehow. take his finance minister says he's resigning because of health reasons but actually his son of the is also the son in law of president i get tired and made the announcement on his instagram account that comes 2 days after the central bank governor was sacked his currency the lira has lost 30 percent of its value against the u.s. dollar since the start of the yam and can sell this in istanbul as if the president had an accepted the resignation will be a significant move. for sure this resignation is going to be a game changer especially for president are gone and his ruling party decides to corner me because the polls the surveys show that the support for the rolling up

party has been down to 33 percent where people accuse the bad economic management for this and it's not only the opposition or the investors accusing the government for bad economy management but it's also some circles within the our party and we have been hearing that a group of up party members were about to decided to resign and switch to other offshoot parties so just looking at today since the morning in the early morning tradings the turkish lira which lost 30 percent value against the american dollar has gained 1.7 percent against the american dollar just within the early trading which is seen as an investor optimism in turkey right now so what is next for the finance minister better. known because some circle say that don who may need takes his family as 1st he will not leave him out and he may appoint him as

a vice president as within the new presidential system the president has the right to appoint multiple vice presidents but some say that finance minister is willing to take over the management of the ruling party which will not be welcomed by others but this is seen as a positive news because many have accused the government for the ailing economy. security forces in the ivory coast to cracking down on dissenters after the violence triggered by present. victory or than a dozen opposition leaders have been arrested and charged with terrorism where they dress travel to the opposition stronghold of. to meet some of them. at 51 years old. is passing through the most traumatic period of our life. by our sons but he still in the mall 3 weeks after she says security forces shot and killed him. and. i've nothing to live for now he

was my support and my hope now he's gone stooping out of the house is equally hard i don't know how to react if i meet his friends. how only child. was killed during a protest in ivory coast opposition stronghold of border but his father can't say whether the 17 year old was part of the demonstration. when i heard about the shooting i went to the gendarmerie barrack from where the corpse of my son was taken to the city morgue no one told me how my son was killed. opposition supporters accuse security forces of using excessive force against them while they look away when government supporters are out on the streets and allegation the police deny. at least $35.00 protests have been killed in violence or security forces in the run up to and after the october 31 presidential election . this deeply divided country is yet to find closure for the post-election violence

that killed 3000 people between 201-2011 many ivorians fear the recent and resolved killings are responsible for the climate of fear and uncertainty in the country the government has promised justice for the victims but blames the opposition's calls for civil disobedience and attempt to set up a little government that's the opposition for its part says it's the president's 1st term in office but was the cause of the violence and only his departure can result. as a government in opposition continue to pass on the blame for victims and their families are waiting for accountability distraught. says she has little faith that a family will ever get justice. what justice i leave justice in the hands of he will exact my revenge. security forces still

maintain strong presence around the homes of opposition figures in the konami capital abidjan many have been arrested and others on the run it's hard to say if the continuing crackdown has enough to take the steam out of the months long opposition protest and prevent more deaths and i guess. al-jazeera. the leadership in ethiopia's northern region says the area's been hit by at least 10 government as strikes 5 days ago promises are made order of the offensive against forces in the region he accuses them of trying to break up the country he says the operation there will end soon and that those responsible will be brought to justice. man mars governing party says it has won enough seats to form a government despite no official announcement from the election commission vote counting is still going on the national league for democracy party led by understand suchi won a landslide election victory 5 years ago and the file is gone for certainly no
