2 unbelievable. trump versus biden, the race to the white house on a just a, you know, i just think it's cringe frankly. u.s. president elect joe biden says donald trump's refusal to concede will not help his legacy will stop the transfer of power. this is out 0. law is also coming up very celebrate and protest. the russian peacekeepers deployed as part of a cease fire deal to end the fighting and are going to care about clashes on the

streets of lima. following the swearing in of a new peruvian president and calls for his region where hundreds have died and thousands are fleeing into the u.s. president elect. joe biden has called donald trump's refusal to concede the presidential election an embarrassment, but biden says nothing will stop the transfer of power in january. that's despite the trumpet, ministration reporting, refuse italy refusing to assist the president elect's transition team. alan fischer reports from washington d.c. . well, donald trump is keeping a low profile, joe biden is putting himself front and center. this was an event to discuss the affordable care act, but the president elect questions on other topics and he had a message to the man he replaced. and his refusal to accept the result. i just

think it's an embarrassment. great, frankly. the only thing that how can we say this tax? i think it will help the president's legacy. i think that i know from my discussions with foreign leaders of us for that they are hopeful that the united states democratic institutions are viewed once again as being strong and endure. and what i think at the end of the day, you know, it's all going to come to fruition in january 20th, all foreign leaders a calling joe biden to congratulate him. trump, secretary of state america's top diplomat, has called the result into question. it will be a smooth transition to a 2nd term of mr. action. right?

we're ready. the world is watching what's taking place that we're going to count all the votes. when the process is complete, the electors selected there's a process, the constitution lays it out pretty clearly. various government agencies and departments. it's been reported have been ordered by the white house not to help with the presidential transition. because in its view, the result is still in doubt. that hasn't stopped joe biden, pushing ahead with planning for day one, even without the immediate assistance of the chump administration. and the leader of the republicans in the senate says the dili want to create problems. i don't think anything that occurred so far in iraq's an ordinary process of moving through the various steps that i indicated and allowing if there is a new administration, is to work through the transition. all of these steps will be taken at the appropriate time. this election has already seen a lot of legal challenges there might be another one coming as the biden campaign

considers going to court to force donald trump's team to start planning for the handover of power. alan fischer. al-jazeera washington. the u.s. supreme court heard republican objections, the idea to the affordable care act, or obamacare on tuesday that has long pledged to scrap his predecessor's signature achievement. but some conservative judges have already signaled that unlikely to strike down the law. she had the reports estimated that some $23000000.00 people would lose their health coverage if the affordable care act was found to be unconstitutional. some gathered outside the supreme court, as oral arguments were heard virtually by the justices to explain what was at stake, like maura riley, whose past seizures might make her ineligible for health insurance without obamacare and got hit with about $900.00 again for a one hour for a bagman ambulance ride and a hospital bill for almost $30000.00 for one night in the hospital plus ever idea

of other medical bills from specialists and doctors and things for that. you know, maybe 30 hours and a half. but if the f.d.a. is struck down over the coming days coming weeks, i will finally be without health insurance. a particular focus of the protesters, fears was the supremes, coots, newest member, amy kearney, barrett, she's been critical of 2. previous rulings of holding the a.c.l.u. against republican challengers. however, as it turned out, it was a different trump nominee who made the most significant contributions to the proceedings. brett kavanaugh, his questioning, strongly suggested that even if a majority of justices agreed that the plaintiffs have it case and that what's called the individual mandate in the a cia, the requirement for all americans to have health insurance was unconstitutional. kavanah didn't feel that would invalidate the rest of obamacare or several building precedents. it does seem fairly clear that the proper remedy would be to sever the

mandate provision and leave the rest of the in place. the provisions regarding preexisting conditions and the rest chief justice john roberts, also expressed skepticism of the republicans arguments together with cavanagh and the court 3 liberal justices. they could form a majority to preserve the in delaware president elect joe biden weighed in this effort to bypass the will of the american people. the verdict of the courts in the past judgments of congress in my view is simply cruel and needlessly device. joe biden was among the 1st to congratulate his then both president barack obama won, the a c. a became law in 20 term against republican objections. thanks for a decade later, even by going except with at least 30000000, still uninsured. just spite obamacare change is needed. and now his supporters hope he'll be able to keep a campaign promise to use the a.c.s.

private insurance model as a basis for reform. once the supreme court rules in several months, she had record numbers of people in the hospital in the united states where the coronavirus, as the number of new cases continues to seoul, almost 62000 people are currently hospitalized with 19, a 1000000 people have been infected in the united states, in just the last 10 days, russian peacekeeping troops have been deployed to nagorno-karabakh, following a deal to end 6 weeks of fighting. the disputed region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, but is controlled by ethnic armenians as areas of spend a day celebrating. what's been seen as a win delivering swades territory to that country, but in neighboring armenia, it's being described as a disaster. reports we had over like it or not. well, it's a nation in shock. many baffled that their media has signed an agreement. they see

as humiliating and for some, the anger was too much to contain. by early warning, protesters started to arrive in front of parliament. i don't know how this nation believes this man says, calling on people to rise up. emotions were high, and soon the anger turned into calls for a prime minister to resign among the people here, veterans of the 1st war, thereby journ in the early 1990, s. mothers of soldiers who recently died and displaced people from nagorno-karabakh. mina and her mother bear to are dismayed. they left their hometown of stepan, occurred by jan at the beginning of the fighting. her father stayed behind the other to watch hearts as many articles of the one who signed this agreement didn't ask our opinion. he signed it in secret, it's a crime. i want to return there. my dreams are all there. i'm not having

a normal education because of current virus and the war. i will only go back if the children of the prime minister come and live there with me. like everyone here nina and berto want the agreement to be cancelled boardin, a 1200 soldiers lost their lives order. past 6 weeks, has now also lost all 7. as every region surrounding the un clave it had occupied since 994, as well as a total of shusha in the corner. it's hard to swallow. this is a very difficult time for me and for prime minister and he called bashing me on that. he was already under intense international pressure to signed a cease fire agreement. and now is having an even harder time at home, explaining to people that this was the best option. in the current situation, there was no chance of making another decision. i plan to give more details such as why and what the reason was behind last month's of ins. i can't do it right now for one simple reason, because stopping military actions is the main focus right now. and if i say

something, i couldn't dangerous people. but bush hasn't managed to convince many people, even among those who are calling for his resignation. i'm an ordinary mother, but what happened is horrible. every day we were given good news and suddenly this happens. good or bad. i don't know, but i don't want an agreement at the price of all those innocent children who died . it should have been done earlier. he needs to answer questions. some of the russian peacekeepers have already they will be deployed in to guarantee to cease fire. but this sense of loss that azerbaijan felt for 3 decades is just beginning to seep in. but at the president and what he calls a year occupation reports from the capital a victory dance which is been years in the making either by johnnie's or jubilant

after the announcement of a deal to end the conflict in the corner. even physical constraints didn't stop some people from joining the joy, hundreds of thousands of displaced people who wanted to return. now that seems possible to return to the place where my mother grandmother were born from. and to me, i can't even describe this feeling. it's impossible to express all this after steady gains on the battlefield since september has been made possible, largely because of other by john's advanced military power. the president acknowledged his forces as he declared the conflict over god bless all our heroes as a result of their heroes and self-sacrifice, we return to our learns that soldiers can recover soon and return to normal life. i have called it an armenian defeat, agreed with russian relation and with the deal,

john will hold on to the areas of that is the feeling that he's fighting. but i mean, you're has agreed to withdraw from several other nearby areas in the coming few weeks. russian peacekeepers will remain in the region but an extended 5 years in return other by john will stop its advances and the guns on the front lines have fallen silent. as it would join the army showed that we are capable to liberate our troops, we have liberated our now we also showed that we have the political will to stop hostilities and to continue by negotiations. many people in the very capital don't completely trust russian peacekeepers and wanted their forces to retake all of the disputed region. the turkish foreign minister called the deal a secret success of the very president, the peacekeepers in addition to the russians. but it's not yet decided exactly how those troops will be deployed. other by johnny, see a few weeks of war have achieved more than 2 decades of diplomacy. but maintaining

peace is not going to be easy as thousands of people have been killed in both sides . and more than a 1000000 have been displaced and with our media. another write down from a dollar a day out of their pocket. still ahead on al-jazeera. the palestinians lose their chief negotiator siva eric katz who has died weeks after contracting covert 19, we got some very cold air, plunging down across canada, fading out across the western side of the united states behind this large band of cloud. his ak cold fronts to the, the west of that, that's where that cold air is sliding across much of that western side of north america will see quite a temperature contrast because ahead of that system still getting up into the low

came just over a month since he was diagnosed with 19, his wife and one of his daughters. among those who rushed to the west jerusalem hospital where he was being treated from your keypad westbank, the tributes began to come in. it was somebody who persisted that who devoted his whole life to ensuring that palestinian life and palestinians are right. i say. and i've indicated that was 12 years old when israeli tanks rolled into his hometown of jericho, part of a war that lasted 6 days and reshaped the region and his life. he attended university in the united states and moved to england to complete a ph d. in conflict resolution. at the madrid peace talks in 1901, he insisted on wearing the coffee are the symbol of palestinian national identity.

in the decades following as a palestinian chief negotiator, he would be both criticized and praised for his stubbornness over terms for a 2 state solution based on the 1967 borders being good, doesn't it go? she was, it was or is that all there e, i would say possible to negotiate the team because we all knew well, well he's real red lines. but the day of his death also brought fresh attacks from some on the israeli right. prime minister benjamin netanyahu, some called him a terrorist who worked for the destruction of israel. over the years. erekat described a growing pessimism at israel's expansion of illegal settlements and the steady entrenchment of its occupation. and those who are really that it can undermine that was that solution and it play with it. what i call one step closer to maintaining the thought, of course,
