church in greenfield. mr trump has still not conceeded the election. he has been on the move as well today. again he has gone to play golf, as he did yesterday when the results were coming in. in his victory speech — mr biden said his administration would marshal the forces of decency, fairness, science and hope. we'll have reaction to that speech from around the world, but first this report from our correspondent, lebo diseko, in washington. the president—elect of the united states of america, joe biden! a moment that has been 30 years in the making. joe biden makes his victory address, repeating his campaign promise to unite a divided country. for all those of you who voted for president trump, i understand the disappointment tonight. i've lost a couple of times myself.

but now, let's give each other a chance. cheering. it's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again, and to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. they are not our enemies, they are americans. he and his choice for vice president are making history. kamala harris will be the first female, black, and first south asian ever, in this role. she paid tribute to her mother, who came to the us from india at the age of 19. i am thinking about her. and about the generations of women, black women... cheering. ..asian, white, latina, native american women, who throughout our nation's history have paved the way

for this moment tonight. tackling covid—i9 will be their first order of business. on monday, joe biden will name a task force of scientists and medical experts. in the nation's capital, washington, dc — jubilation. we're here to support biden and celebrate his win tonight. and the first black, female vice president in office! we're here because america has been liberated from the hatred and, just, casual racism that we've been experiencing for the past four years. somebody said we won a big battle today, the war is not over, but we have really accomplished something big today as a people. there have been people here all afternoon celebrating joe biden‘s win, and they are likely to continue right through the night. and while the crowd may have gone down somewhat, the excitement certainly hasn't. and with the white house just metres behind us, it's hard not to wonder

what its occupants must be thinking. this was donald trump as projections came through thatjoe biden, not he, had won. on social media, he remains defiant and is pursuing various legal challenges. but his refusal to concede didn't dim this moment. it was a historic night, offering a new chapterfor america. lebo diseko, bbc news, washington. our north america correspondent will grant joins us live from washington. like mike howe america getting on with two leaders? it is an odd experience for americans to not have the incumbent who has lost acknowledge his defeat and congratulate his rival. it is not constitutionally necessary that he do so, but it is conventional that he would make that telephone call

and make that concession. but if there's one thing we can say about donald trump, it is that he is far from conventional, has been throughout the squad might years in office, and is going to remain very unorthodox until the bitter end, it seems. he does keep his constitutional powers until the 20th of january. he is constitutional powers until the 20th ofjanuary. he is commander in chief, that continues. what might we expect in this transition period? quite honestly, ithink expect in this transition period? quite honestly, i think nothing can look further forward than these legal challenges in the states where he hasn't prevailed. we will know dash might we know there will be recounts ordered where the margins of victory are very small, such as georgia, and we know that he has questions about the process in pennsylvania, but we are yet to see any evidence that backs up these allegations of fraud, so my suggestion is that at this stage thatis suggestion is that at this stage that is all mood music. even if

these legal challenges don't change these legal challenges don't change the outcome of the election, and as you say, it's unlikely that they will, what impact are they having on people's faith in the process itself? well, talking of faith, joe biden attended mass this morning, and went to his son's grave as he came out of mass, and that in a sense underlines the difference between the two men, or certainly the image they are trying to project. while donald trump went and played golf, the staunchly catholic joe biden went to church, presenting himself perhaps as the anti—trump. in terms of how people feel about this situation, and these legal challenges, it is unsettling. we saw scenes of people out dancing and celebrating across the nation, and there was genuine, palpable joy among joe biden supporters. there was genuine, palpable joy amongjoe biden supporters. it there was genuine, palpable joy among joe biden supporters. it is unsettling to not have a clear end, to not have clarity, to have a

president who will continue to say, look, this isn't legitimate, even though he hasn't yet shown any evidence of that, because it delegitimise is the process itself. many republican senators and congressmen and women were voted into power is by that process. will grant, thank you very much. so far, president wants to —— president trump seems unwilling to concede defeat, so what happens now? a recount will be held in the state of georgia, where margins are tight. joe biden‘s lead hasjust georgia, where margins are tight. joe biden‘s lead has just stretched over 10,000 votes. mr trump also wa nts a over 10,000 votes. mr trump also wants a recount in wisconsin, projected for the president elect on wednesday. 0n projected for the president elect on wednesday. on saturday, the trump campaign filed a lawsuit over ballots cast on election day in arizona that it claims were incorrectly rejected. the arizona

secretary of state said that the case was grasping at straws. secretary of state said that the case was grasping at strawsm secretary of state said that the case was grasping at straws. if the election result is challenged, it would require legal teams to begin in the state courts. state judges would then need to uphold the challenge and ordered a recount, then the supreme courtjustices could be asked to overturn a ruling. so far, there has been no evidence provided for any of the alleged voterfraud. well, kelly hyman is a democratic party commentator and lawyer and joins me now from denver in colorado. how should democrats deal with these legal suits, given that they are undermining a lot of americans' confident in the process itself, and undermining the result of the election that we knowjoe biden has one? that's a very good point. thanks for having me on the show, so nice to see you. some would say that

trump's lawsuits are basically press releases, just trying to get the message up, releases, just trying to get the message up, but there has been no proof of any kind of fraud. the american people got out and voted in droves. now is a time for us to come together and heal as a country and move forward with joe together and heal as a country and move forward withjoe biden together and heal as a country and move forward with joe biden and kamala harris. it is a monumental time in the us, to have the first african—american woman of indian descent, and as a woman, so great to have someone, such a pioneer for our country. we know they will do a good job leading our country, and with oui’ job leading our country, and with our allies and other such delete my country such as the uk. it's all very nice to talk about unity in bringing the nation together, but joe biden supporters absolutely detest supporters of donald trump, so detest supporters of donald trump, so how will we do that because mike i think we will come together. so how will we do that because mike i think we will come togetherlj really i think we will come together.” really do believe, biden is a

moderate democrat and has worked with parties across the aisle. i've never before seen so many republicans come out and support biden, because we need to put our country over all this politics and come together. i really do believe he is going to unite our country and move it forward. yeah, there is a difference, though, between republicans and supporters of president trump in many cases, isn't there? do you think president—elect joe biden will include republicans in his cabinet? will he go that far? i think he will. we have to remember that coal in power did support him. he has been a moderate, and i definitely see that. —— colin powell did support him. trump is not helping the situation byjust filing all these lawsuits that have no

basis to them. there has been no evidence of any kind of fraud. yes, it has taken time because there were so many people who voted by mail, and the process went through, but i'iow and the process went through, but now it's time to come together and heal and move forward. kelly, could you indulge me and throw out some names of people you would like to see in names of people you would like to seeinjoe names of people you would like to see in joe biden names of people you would like to see injoe biden prospect team? anyone he picks would be great. i think that susan rice would do an amazing job. i also think that coal in powell —— colin powell would do a greatjob. it's in powell —— colin powell would do a great job. it's important in powell —— colin powell would do a greatjob. it's important to have different people from different perspectives in his cabinet. whoever he picks i'm sure they will do a greatjob. he picks i'm sure they will do a great job. kelly, thank you so much. you have those names right at the top of your head. stay healthy. we will. we know the state of georgia is going for a recount. the margin of difference between both candidates is below

0.5% of the total votes cast. 0ur correspondent larry madowo gives the latest from atlanta. the recount is still expected to happen here in georgia. the race for the president is still too close to call, even though joe the president is still too close to call, even thouthoe biden is leading here by a few thousand votes, there will be a recount to determine exactly who won georgia. there will be a run—off injanuary the 5th of the senate. georgia might determine whether or not democrats have control of the senate. we will have control of the senate. we will have to wait until early january to know that. there is a lot of conversation here over whether donald trump rightfully won like the presidency. vernonjones donald trump rightfully won like the presidency. vernon jones is donald trump rightfully won like the presidency. vernonjones is a democratic straight sent the letter, representative, who endorsed donald trump and spoke at the republican national convention. do you think you should concede tojoe biden?” don't think anybody should concede if there is a case of irregularities in terms of voting activity. it's happening all across this country, and president trump has an

obligation and a responsibility to over 70 million people that voted for him to make sure these elections we re for him to make sure these elections were fairand they for him to make sure these elections were fair and they were transparent. that's our democracy. this is the united states of america. according to our constitution, every legal ballot should be counted and counted properly. 70 million people voted forjohn, which is a big number, but even more voted forjoe biden, according to the numbers that are out. that's the point, the election has not been certified yet. there are votes that have not come in yet, so you can't actually say that president trump has lost orjoe biden has won. i want everybody to calm down and let slip the process work. even when there is certification, the courts are going to be involved here, and president trump hasa to be involved here, and president trump has a right, and i stand with him along with the other 70 million. i want the president to be given, and we as a voter, integrity and transparency in the selection, and

that hasn't been the case in some cases. that's our process here. election officials across the country said there were no widespread irregularities, there was nothing to say there was voter fraud in this process. why are the republicans insisting on this line? i think it's more than republicans. remember, president trump got more minority votes than any other president going back to the 60s. african—americans and latinoss who never voted republican who voted for him. a lot of the elected official saying this didn't work at local level. elections in america are held by local government and it is filtered up to the top two are secretaries of state. let's let the process take place. i think many of the media projected joe biden is a winner, even arizona, where there we re winner, even arizona, where there were 400,000 votes outstanding to count, so that tells you how the media is shaping the narrative, and

we know this. you can agree with this, the posters were saying that joe biden was way out front on the president. the media was carrying the narrative of those posters. that is voter suppression and depression. larry with guests reporting from atla nta, larry with guests reporting from atlanta, georgia. let's have a look at some of the issues mr biden will have to deal with. starting with foreign policy. in the middle east, president trump unpicked the iran nuclear deal, pushed a new middle east peace plan and backed talks with the taliban. so how willjoe biden respond? 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports from kabul. it is clear that the afghans want to end the longest war. it started after the attacks of september the 11th in the united states. what they

found jarring was the unpredictable tweets of president trump. they are looking at perhaps a change in tone and a change in process. the afghan government, which wasn't part of the deal signed between the us and the taliban in february, would certainly like to slow this process. they would like a white house that is tougher with the taliban, so we are expecting some changes, but not in the direction of policy.” expecting some changes, but not in the direction of policy. i seem to remember there was a tweet saying the president could flatten afghanistan in ten minutes. how do you see the projection of us power in that region under a biden administration? there are certain constants in the us relationship with the region. 0ne constants in the us relationship with the region. one of them would bea with the region. one of them would be a very strong relationship with israel. president elect biden has made it clear during the campaign that he won't reverse some of the

policies which were adopted by president trump, including moving the american embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem, but the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem, but he the american embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem, but he might get tougher on issues like the building of settlements in occupied territory. what everyone is waiting to see is what happens to relationships with president trump is my best friends in the region, and that would be saudi arabia and the crown prince mohammed bin salman, conspicuously, at least the la st salman, conspicuously, at least the last time i checked, there was no official response from either king solomon of saudi arabia all the crown prince two the election of president electjoe crown prince two the election of president elect joe biden. crown prince two the election of president electjoe biden. president trump was willing to give a blank cheque to saudi arabia, because it is an important source of arms deals, so this will be a very important relationship to watch in the region. so much influence does —— how much influence does the us

still have, given donald trump is like isolationist policies of the last what might years, and his propensity to direct policy by tweeting? i think, like propensity to direct policy by tweeting? ithink, like much propensity to direct policy by tweeting? i think, like much of the world, including the united states, the end of policy by tweeting will be greeted, is being greeted, with a huge sigh of relief. as i mentioned, in afghanistan, it has been really jarring, when afghans say, i wake up thinking a tweet from president trump could change the course of my life. similarly, in other parts of the middle east, when he suddenly announced he was pulling us forces out of northern syria without actually informing his allies. i think we also have to be clear that the american, let's not use the word retreat, but pulling back from so much involvement in the middle east, began under president 0bama, who wanted to try to end america's long wars and engagement, so i think

president—elect biden will not change the direction but may change some of the details. joe biden may now be president—elect biden, but it has by no means been an easy road for him. the family bereavements he has suffered have been well reported, but what's less well known is that joe biden spent the majority of his childhood overcoming a stutter. the former vice president has been more open recently about the condition, saying it still impacts him now. his story has inspired many other who stutter, including brayden harrington, who met him on the campaign trail, and was also giving the opportunity to speak live to america at the democratic convention earlier this year. hi, i'm13 hi, i'm 13 years old. withoutjoe biden, i wouldn't be talking to you today. about a few months ago, i met

him in new hampshire. he told me that we were members of the same club. we... s starter. it was amazing to hear that someone like me became vice president. that was a fantastic speech. i'm delighted to say that braden and his dad join us 110w. say that braden and his dad join us now. congratulations on that speech. second, you talked about your club. 0ne second, you talked about your club. one of the members of your club is 110w one of the members of your club is now president of the to. he's your friend. how does that you feel?m makes me feel very happy for him that he's come this far, though, i just like another meeting with

somebody, and his friend were saying that he would never believe that somebody who stutters with make it as faras somebody who stutters with make it as far as president, and it'sjust crazy how far he came and how far he will, how far he will go. there is no further way to go for him. what about for you ? what no further way to go for him. what about for you? what are your ambitions for your life? like, jobs and stuff? anything. well, i had a dream of being in the nba, but that's a really slim chance. from my first job, that's a really slim chance. from my firstjob, i do want that's a really slim chance. from my first job, i do want to work in that's a really slim chance. from my firstjob, i do want to work in like a dog place. so, it's a win win, because i get money and i get to play with dogs.

laughter braden, 0wen, lovely to see you, especially since you are in my home state of new hampshire, where i'll be home tomorrow. hope the weather is good. braden, how much do you have to prepare when you do a public speech like that? do you get nervous, and does that make your stutter worse? it makes me nervous, but when i practice, i get used to like the kind of thing i'm doing, like the kind of thing i'm doing, like the kind of thing i'm doing, like the speech, i kept practising and practising, and that made me a little more comfortable with it, so idid little more comfortable with it, so i did have some moments, and that's just because i get comfortable with it, but sometimes itjust doesn't fully, make me fully fluent, but that's fine, because it still shows

everybody that president biden helped a kid who stutters. braden, i have to say, i would be nervous as to be king on local television right now, but i think you are doing incredibly well. oh and, when you see how far braden has come, and the inspiration that the president elect has given, how does that make you feel extremely grateful. he took time that he didn't have to adjust to share with braden and give him some strategies, and the doors that that has opened for braden and our family are opened wide at this point. he has had so many different opportunities, so grateful is the best word i can think of and really appreciate him taking the time he didn't have to share with us. braden, can we go back to that club of yours? you are a member, the new

president is a member. he has to give a really important speech, his swearing in speech at his inauguration in january. do swearing in speech at his inauguration injanuary. do you have any advice for the next president about how he should give that speech ? he's given a lot of speeches, so i don't really have to give him much advice. he has done great on those speeches. but the only thing that i keep repeating him is if he gets a block, or if he has a little moment, he just needs to do what he does best and go through it, and we are just all rooting for you. braden harrington, potential nba player. and dad, 0wen. thanks forjoining us. and dad, 0wen. thanks forjoining us. that was lovely, that really was, and just shows how the little things can inspire us, it really

can. a speech coach for everyone. see you in a minute. hello. it has been a rather grey and gloomy sunday for many of you, but for this stage in november, it has been incredibly mild, and that continues this week. we have two areas of low pressure out of the west, this one bringing showers tomorrow. both coming up from a southerly direction, and with that southerly direction, and with that southerly flow, we continue the mild theme through much of this week. temperatures above where they should be for the time of year, but expect rain at times, some of the wettest conditions from mid week onwards, especially in the west. mild as we go into the evening, temperatures staying in double figures for many, but plenty of cloud around us we see the rain out. patchy rain and

eastern scotland. some clear skies in the west, but showers will push up in the west, but showers will push up through the channel islands, south—west england, wales and northern ireland. by the time we start monday morning, the temperatures haven't fallen a great deal compared to what we have at the moment. it will be a mild start on monday. the next swell of cloud is this hope of a weather front, a trough in the isobars, enhancing the showery rain we'll see. hefty showers at times through south—west england, wales and northern ireland. some will drift into the midlands and north—west. while there will be and north—west. while there will be afairamount of and north—west. while there will be a fair amount of cloud, a little sunshine and going through the day, especially between downpours, and temperatures mild steel across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. monday night, the drift away to the north. that kink

in the isobars pushes the showers away north and eastwards to take us into tuesday, and i'll stop. showers, particularly to the east first thing, one or two heavier showers push up across the south—east corner. there could be more sunshine developing few tuesday. there will still be the odd shower in the west but most places will finish dry. still pretty mild. temperatures will drop a little but it stays mild. through wednesday and friday, we will see heavy rain and strong and gusty winds, particularly in the west. goodbye for now.

this is bbc news, live from washington and london. america prepares for a change of leadership. joe biden is projected to be the 46th president

of the united states after defeating donald trump. on his first full day as president—elect, mr biden goes to church in delaware. last night he told his supporters he aims not to divide the nation — but unify it. to all those of you who voted for president trump, i understand the disappointment tonight. we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. they are not our enemies, they are americans. kamala harris will make history by becoming the first female, the first black and the first asian—american vice president. she says voters have sent america's children a message — to dream with ambition. while i may be the first woman in this office, i will not be the last. because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

once again donald trump heads for the golf course — the president has continued to assert on twitter that he won tuesday's poll. away from the us — the queen has attended a ceremony to mark remembrance sunday to honour the dead from two work wars. people across the uk observed a two minute silence. —— two world wars. it's the first full day since joe biden became president elect of the united states. when he spoke to his supporters last night in delaware he said it was time to stop treating opponents as our enemies. today he has been seen again, but this time taking a private moment to attend church in greenfield with his wifejill and two of his grandaughters. mr biden often talks

about his catholic faith. in washington, president trump has still not conceeded the election. he has tweeted fresh claims about election irregularities. he has been on the move as well. again he has gone to play golf on his golf course in virginia, as he did yesterday when the results were coming in. in his victory speech — mr biden said his administration would marshal the forces of decency, fairness, science and hope. president trump won the state of florida by over three percentage points, confounding opinion polls who predicted a small biden victory in the state. i spoke to brian mudd, a radio host from florida, and asked him what led to this unexpected victory. the 2018 midterms were obviously a great cycle for democrats. but in florida, the trends defied the national trends, with the governor being elected and a pick—up in the us senate in an election which

obviously democrats gained seats congressionally. it has a lot to do with socialism, certainly that resonates significantly with those of cu ban descent. resonates significantly with those of cuban descent. but i think it goes deeper. 0ne of cuban descent. but i think it goes deeper. one of the over certification is coming out of 2018 was that the influx of puerto rican is into florida and south florida in particular would end up breaking ha rd particular would end up breaking hard for democrats. but we have actually seen them voting more for republicans, including the president, dan had in prior times. and that was evident in part by the current governor of puerto rico endorsing president trump. yesterday i was speaking to a number of women who still support president trump. another demographic that he was expected perhaps to lose in this election. let us have a quick listen to what they had to say. there is a

tremendous amount of fraud based on what we've heard and learned from some reputable sources. there was no republican oversight and a lot of the counting and there is no way possible some of those numbers could have gone up in the time they did so lam have gone up in the time they did so i am concerned there was fraud in every vote needs to be counted. doesn't matter what party. if at the end of the day, when all the votes have been counted and there are recou nts have been counted and there are recounts going on a georgia right now, will you accept the results of the election? once the votes are counted. i don't believe anyone can call it now or next week, i think it will take a longer process but once thatis will take a longer process but once that is fair and completed i will accept whoever is chosen. there is this sense, they were obviously talking about the election count, but there is the sense that they still support the president and will continue to do so. what does mr trump do with this level of support? what does the republican party do with these people who still support

president trump, who will longer be president? this is something that is going to be an interesting dynamic. i think the first thing is, president trump has always been a fighter so he will exhaust all legal options. in georgia, they certified their results at a local level on their results at a local level on the 20th, then the 23rd in pennsylvania. at that point, that's when you have official results and thatis when you have official results and that is where i think the page will begin to turn. so president elect biden will end up holding the smudges. so then i believe you will see the transition and as it pertains to the republican party, i think florida is the model. one of the great ironies for me, we are so used to be in the melting pot of the melting pot itself and we were the outlier in florida. president trump won florida by a margin that was nearly three times what he did

previously. republicans have greater control of the state legislature —— met legislature than ever before stopped so i believe what you will see is the republican party taking a look at what round —— resonated in florida and look to utilise that going forward, with whomever and whatever the message will be. of course, the first huge, huge election is going to take place in georgia in january, for we election is going to take place in georgia injanuary, for we have two run—off elections that are going to end up deciding who controls the senate, should joe biden finalise his win. brian mudd, talk show host, talking to us earlier. we have just had a statement from president george w bush, which is, i just talked to the president—elect of the united states, joe biden. i extend my warm congratulation and thanked him for the patriotic message he delivered last night. i

also called kamala harris to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice presidency. there we have political differences, i knowjoe biden to be a good man who has won back his opportunity to lead and unify our country. very, very different tone to what we are getting from the current incumbent in the white house, isn't it? that is almost a concession speech of its own, acknowledging political differences but still going on to congratulate the winner of this election. i think it's very interesting because we do know that so many senior republicans, including george w bush, did not support president trump through the last four years. and that is the most senior republican concession speech we may get in this cycle. there is one other sentence to pick out later in that rather lengthy statement. the american people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally

fair, its integrity will be upheld and its outcome is clear. it could not be plainer than that in george w bush's words. there are four former presidents, and president bush is the only republican. people were waiting for him, he has now spoken. all four former presidents are lining up behind the new president—elect. lining up behind the new president-elect. they do indeed. it does seem that they are coming out in very considered force for presidentjoe biden, he will need that support because he has a tough four years ahead of him. and it is a kind of former presidents club that has been going for many years now. we heard earlier about president trump tweeting his complaints about the election counts. complaints that have been echoed by some,

but not all, republicans. so what is it like being in the white house now? and how will the president and advisers approach the transition, in the light of their grievances? bryan lanza is a former communications director for the trump transition team and joined us from virginia. i began by asking him when the president would be inviting mr biden to the white house. i think the president said he wants to exercise his legal options. i think some of those coming to an end probably by the middle of next week. sol probably by the middle of next week. so i think anytime time after next week you will probably see president calljoe biden to congratulate him and open up his offices to a normal and open up his offices to a normal and peaceful transition. and open up his offices to a normal and peacefultransition. then looking to 2024, there has been spy collision about mr trump running again, defeated or retired presidents haven't had an easy time of it. ulysses grant, theodore roosevelt. why would mr trump even wa nt to roosevelt. why would mr trump even want to think about trying? he still feels he has a lot to contribute. he

gained support in 2016, gaining 5 million new voters. so he is clearly the start of a political movement that will far exceed the trump iraq, but he still feels he has an opportunity to contribute. —— the trump era. i want to hear his vision and his insight if biden is doing the right thing with respect to the economy. we saw during eight years of barack 0bama horrible economic growth. obviously the president has experience leading a country through and creating a great economy. i would like that leadership to be passed on tojoe biden. the last time we need is a slow economy and that —— time we need is a slow economy and that -- if time we need is a slow economy and that —— if that is whatjoe biden wants to bring, it's going to be pretty easy to envision why there will be a president trump in 2024.” was shaking my head because you are talking about 2024, give us a break, we haven't got over 2020 yet! but it is an interesting point about the

fa ct is an interesting point about the fact that donald trump isn't going to go away, we may be hearing from him politically, which brings me to my next point. you say you think that he will accept these results. do you think that is more than 70 million supporters will accept these results ? million supporters will accept these results? no, i don't think that. no different than hillary clinton supporters who didn't accept president trump's factory. we have a country that is deeply divided. we will see ifjoe country that is deeply divided. we will see if joe biden country that is deeply divided. we will see ifjoe biden can bring it together. i hope he does. he has more than welcome to call on me and ican do more than welcome to call on me and i can do my part for the country. but at the end of the day we are very divided country. president trump did not experience any type of hillary clinton telling the country to unite behind president trump and i don't expect that to happen this time, we are just too divided a country. so do you think that when we see these tweets, when we talk

about these legal issues the president is rising, that it is part ofa president is rising, that it is part of a political strategy, long—term one? i don't think that so i think president trump has a responsibility to his supporters to make sure that an accurate legal count takes place. it's more than him, it's about all those supporters who want legitimacy in the process. when you see the media trying to shut them down and say they don't have a right to bring the legal case forward and when you say —— and when you hear the democrats saying the election is over, what's wrong with going to the normal legal recourse? over, what's wrong with going to the normal legal recourse ? it over, what's wrong with going to the normal legal recourse? it is the constitutional right. we did that with bush against gore, it's not uncharted territory. the more complaining you hear from the left and the media that president trump is doing this, his voters want him to make sure an accurate count to lace, i think we all want that. trying to silence the voices will only sew for the division, it doesn't ended. the only way we can

get any semblance of community is for this process to go forward legally, go forward in a transparent way, then we can take the steps to heal. but anything short of that, i do not see a trump supporter extending their hand. it does look beautiful where you are, so rural and tranquil, and quite envious. as you're in virginia, which did vote forjoe biden, what has been the atmosphere there was mark get us outside of washington a bit.” atmosphere there was mark get us outside of washington a bit. i am in rural virginia. you can see a couple of biden signs, i have seen a couple of biden signs, i have seen a couple of people since i've been here who are shocked at what happened with the election. but theyjust want an accurate count and they love the country, they want the american president to succeed, whether it is biden or trump but they are a little shocked and they feel a little bit unhappy with the election results. i think people expected a different

result last tuesday. one of the big challenges mr biden faces as president will be us—china relations. tensions between the two counties have been mounting countries have been mounting on issues of trade, security, and covid—19. we asked robin brant if there had been any response from the chinese leadership on mr biden's win. but, this remains a slightly contentious election. protocol reign supreme here in this country. i think we are unlikely to get anything official in the beijing government, certainly today. it might even be a few days because we haven't even seen anything from state media, which is often used as a conduit for the government's semi—official view. so at the moment, nothing. i think when the words come, the language won't be anything new. expect talk of a win—win relationship, peaceful coexistence, maybe even talk ofjoining hands to fight the virus. none of that will be new.

i think the most important thing, and, look, this is the relationship that will define the future of the world, frankly, the us and china, this rising power, the world's number two economy. going forward, there is not going to be a sudden, substantial about turn from a biden administration when it comes to the trade war, which is the big issue of confrontation between these two countries at the moment. us diplomats, in the run—up to this week, have said as much, speaking in private to people like me. joe biden has talked of consulting allies when it comes to the raft of tariffs imposed on chinese imports. that's been the most used tool by donald trump's administration, but that's as far as he has gone in terms of any sudden about turn on those tariffs. these from the uk. the queen has led a ceremony marking remembrance

sunday. she was joined a ceremony marking remembrance sunday. she wasjoined by a ceremony marking remembrance sunday. she was joined by family members and by the pro—minister, borisjohnson at members and by the pro—minister, boris johnson at the members and by the pro—minister, borisjohnson at the cenotaph in london in the service which had been scaled back due to coronavirus restrictions. nicholas witchell has more. the numbers were depleted, but for all that the massed bands and everyone else had to be socially distanced and the pavements were empty of crowds, the purpose was unchanged. on remembrance sunday, in a year when loss has been more keenly felt than most, the ceremony of remembrance at the cenotaph had a particular power and poignancy. as 11 o'clock approached, the queen took her place on a balcony, as the prince of wales led other senior members of the royal family to their places in readiness for the two—minute silence observed in whitehall and around the nation.

big ben chimes the hour in whitehall, the prince of wales placed the queen's wreath against the cenotaph‘s northern face. other members of the royal family followed. absent, for their different reasons, were princes harry and andrew. the wreath—laying by the politicians, a small group of commonwealth high commissioners and the military chiefs would normally have been followed by the march—past by thousands of veterans.

the record will show that in 2020, 100 years after the cenotaph was unveiled, things had to be done differently. the veterans were represented by a group of 25. yet, for all the changes required by the pandemic, lives lost in war and more recently were recalled and honoured, for remembrance is carried in the heart. nicholas witchell, bbc news. i think we can show you some pictures of how president trump is spending the day. he is out in virginia at his golf course. that is where he was yesterday, because, when the historic announcement came through that pennsylvania had projected for president elect, as he is now known, joe biden. and we do

believe that president trump is actually on that front buggy that you can see driving across the green there. so clearly taking some time out from the white house, where he would have been greeted by crowds cheering, not for him but for president—electjoe biden full stops are perhaps trying to get a bit of a getaway there. no wonder the secret service isn't anywhere to be seen, they probably can't keep up with him! may be they are in the next one speeding behind him. contrast the views of those trump supporters to the scenes ofjubilation seen across us of those backing joe biden. our correspondent clive myrie has been looking at the celebrations. this is the soundtrack of the biden campaign. and nowa new

this is the soundtrack of the biden campaign. and now a new america. this is the soundtrack of the biden campaign. and nowa new america. in the age of covid—19, these election rallies were driving, socially distance. supporters honked instead of uploaded. —— uploading. outside their cars, the president—elect‘s ecstatic supporters, no less noisy. in the shadow of the building where election votes were being counted. the subjects of their ire, for lauren donald trump voters across this philadelphia street. —— for lawn. the rancorous political divide in miniature. joe biden says he wa nts to in miniature. joe biden says he wants to bring both sides together, he wants to be a leader for all america. at the moment they can't even share the same street without barricades and the police. donald trump lost in part because suburban women turned on him. listen to penny

and her daughter, who set up a facebook group to supportjoe biden. it started with four and we ended with 142. it was incredibly empowering. and it was therapy for us women empowering. and it was therapy for us women who felt disregarded.” empowering. and it was therapy for us women who felt disregarded. i am in my 20s and it is important for women my age in my 20s and it is important for women my age to be behind someone who supports us to the full. tim trimble, who once called essex home, says donald trump's fight is not over. he hasn't lost the election. i think because the bbc and cnn and the abc calls it, that's irrelevant. meanwhile, on the same street in another america, they are dancing forjoe and will not sleep. at 77, joe biden will be the oldest president to take office, but as vice—president elect —

kamala harris is also set to make history. she will be the first woman, the first black and the first asian american to hold the position. nomia iqbal looks at her rise to the second highest the nation was born with the words, all men are created equal. it has taken more than two centuries but i promise to begin to be realised by a woman. kamala harris struggled when she ran to be the democratic party's pick for president but later found a role as the progressive counterweight to joe biden role as the progressive counterweight tojoe biden as mike moore establishment candidacy. joe biden and i are proud patriotic americans who share the values with the vast majority of the american people, who want a president of the did who speaks truth. she was born in california to immigrant parents of jamaican in california to immigrant parents ofjamaican and indian heritage. she

was elected to the senate four years ago off the back of a successful career as a prosecutor. something that later damaged her support among some of the liberals who thought she was too tough on african—american defendants. she graduated from this university, where her elevation to the nation's second highest office is viewed as hugely symbolic. i'm still in a bit of shock about it was stop and thrilled, i wanted this to happen, i imagine she will take all the things she learned in her lifetime and put them into policy. which will make her again more than a simple, it will make a politician of substance. but she has still had to teach the country how to say her name. i'm kamala harris. and she was openly attacked by the president.” thought she was the meanest, the most horrible, most disrespectful of

anybody in the us senate. most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the us senatem most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the us senate. if kamala harris had been born more than 100 yea rs harris had been born more than 100 years ago, she would not have been able to vote. and as a black woman, she would have had no rights. but now she is set to become the most powerful and influential woman in american political history. james, this has been such a roller—coaster of a campaign, ifeel we have been focusing on so many other things that the historic nature of kamala harris becoming the vice president—elect has almost been lost in the noise. regardless of your political persuasion, it is so encouraging to see kamala harris becoming the first woman to become vice president of the united states. it is something that will remain in history for 200 years when people are reading the history books, it may be this election is remembered for that fact, the election of

kamala harris. we will not be around to know but we will see! stay with us. hello. it has been a rather grey and gloomy sunday for many of you. but for the stage of november it's been incredibly mild and the miles storey continues this week. this is with us today bringing rain. both coming from a southerly direction and with the southerly flow we continue the mild theme, notjust into tomorrow but through much the week. temperatures above where they should be for the time of year but do expect rain at times and some of the wettest conditions for the midweek onwards, especially for the west. mild as we go into the evening, temperatures staying in double figures for many but plenty of cloud around as we see the day out. patchy rain or drizzle for central and eastern scotland through northern and eastern england.

confined to eastern counties tonight clear skies in the west. showers will push up through the channel islands, south—west england, wales and into northern ireland. by the time we start monday morning, noticed how the temperatures have not fallen a great deal compared to what we have at the moment. it will be a mild start to monday, but the next level of cloud on the satellite is this where the front, a trough in the isobars which enhances the showery rain we will see some hefty showers at times through south—west england, wales and northern ireland. some willjust north—east and eastwards and very few showers across eastern england, certainly until late in the day. once there will be a fair amount of cloud, there will be sunshine coming and going through the day, especially between the downpours and temperatures, milder still over scotland, northern ireland and northern england. as we go into monday evening and monday night, showers drift northwards and a kink in the isobars enhances the showers, pushing them northwards and eastwards to take us into tuesday. another mild start.

there will be showers, particularly to the eastern half of the country and we could see heavier showers push up across the south east corner, but overall after a cloudy start to the day, optimistically there will be more sunshine developing on tuesday. although there will be the odd shower in the west, most places will finish the day on a drying out and still a mild one as well. beyond that, temperatures will drop a little bit but it did stay mild. to wednesday and friday we will see heavy rain and strong and gusty winds, particularly in the west. goodbye for now.

joe biden calls on americans to come together, as he pledges to heal the country. the new president—elect has addressed supporters and told those on his first full day as president—elect, mr biden goes to church in delaware. george w bush congratulates mr biden, saying the election was fundamentally fair, but that donald trump is the right to request recounts and legal challenges. last night, the president elect told his supporters he aims not to divide but unify the nation. for all those of you who voted for president trump, iunderstand of you who voted for president trump, i understand the disappointment tonight. we have to
