from washington d.c. . from the moment he took office it was clear view administration of donald trump would be very different from this day forward a new vision will govern our land from this day forward it's going to be only america 1st it didn't take long for the united states as our allies to realize that meant they were now dealing with the most disruptive president since world war 2 straining the system of international order built over 75 years trump moved quickly to dismantle the achievements of the obama administration but odds with all his closest allies he pulled out of the paris climate deal believe me this is not what we need and then the iran nuclear agreement this was a horrible one sided deal later in the midst of the pandemic he withdrew the us from the world health organization today terminating our relationship with the

world health organization and not only did he pull the us out of the un human rights council the hypocritical and self-serving organization rarely ever stood up for human rights and at times he seemed more comfortable with the u.s. is traditional adversaries than its closest allies we now know from some of his advisors he came close to pulling out of the us is most important military alliance nato summit meetings like this one in brussels or could have vents with everyone else treading on eggshells to avoid the ire of the impulsive often ill informed u.s. leader. most u.s. allies around the world are now breathing a sigh of relief despite the drama after november's election president elect joe biden's foreign policy is easy to summarize reverse direction resign international agreements and work collaboratively with allies america is back ready to lead the

world not retreat from it once again sit at the head of the table ready to confront our adversaries and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values the relationship the presidents before trump built with their allies was based on trust it's a commodity that takes a long time to grow but is easy to lose and that's the problem for the biden administration the u.s. is closest allies will be looking over their shoulder wondering whether in 4 years time trump will be back and if it's not him it could be another president with trump like america 1st policy. james byrd's al-jazeera washington now italy's prime minister decepticon phase facing 2 days of parliamentary votes that will decide whether his coalition can stay in power these are live pictures from the lower house contain needs the approval of that chamber and the senate if he fails his administration could be forced out of office and

englishman who pays only lip service to the importance of the union so his pitch to build back better together after the pandemic rings hollow here among those who voted heavily to remain in the european union and who now would vote to leave the united kingdom but there's a catch the very thing breaks it that has taken support for independents to new heights is also the thing that makes independent seem economically viable so one on one hand breaks it acts as an it as an accelerator on independence preferences. because people are not happy not being in the european union but at the same time an independent scotland outside of the e.u. but also finding that has difficulty trading with with its former trade partners in the terms in the form of the rest of the u.k. what that also is it is a problem so it makes people want independence more but it makes in some ways the economic consequences of independence far more severe than they weren't 24 team but

those arguments haven't dented voting intentions yet 18 opinion polls in a row show a firm lead for independence and an expected learned slide win for the scottish nationalists in may's parliamentary election could yet create an unstoppable democratic force now 2 days of heavy rain in northwestern syria has flooded camps for internally displaced people activists say more than 100 camps have been affected overcrowding and a lack of clean water supplies are contributing to the spread of covert 19 australia's chief medical officer has warned that border restrictions are likely to continue for the rest of the it's mostly closed to international travelers due to the pandemic there are limits on the number of arrivals and everyone who comes in is subject to mandatory quarantine travel requires special permission i think most of this year with still substantial border restrictions even you know if we
