time since the election. the outgoing president said there will and must be a "peaceful transition" of power. something i hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow americans. bring down the temperature. smiling for the cameras, donald trump and his family celebrate alongside elon musk — who could be in line for one of the top jobs in the white house. so as one administration draws to a close in washington, there's a new centre of political power at least for the next few weeks, and it's here in florida. also on the programme: interest rates are cut for the second time this year — to 4.75%. an inquiry namesjohn smyth

beneath leaden skies. donald trump, in his residence at mar a lago, up the road, is beginning to think about who'll be in his new cabinet. meanwhile, the man he'll be replacing in the white house, joe biden, in his first address since the election, insisted insisted there will and must be a "peaceful transfer of power," and that there was a need to "bring down the temperature" of us politics. there is now, for a few weeks at least, a rival centre of political power in america, and it's here at the heavily protected resort, mar—a—lago, where donald trump will begin assembling his new cabinet. it is his heavily fortified private golf resort, where he is getting to grips with the decisions over who should be in his new cabinet. some names in the frame for top jobs could be controversial. here's sarah smith. power moves fast, and it doesn't wait for anyone.

in washington, they're already preparing for when donald trump will again be sworn in as president of the united states. just metres away, the current president addressed the nation about his party's defeat. many blame him. if he had stepped aside earlier, would the result have been different? this loss is now part of his legacy. you can't love your country only when you win. you can't love your neighbour only when you agree. he often used that line to criticise donald trump. now he has to live up to it himself. remember, a defeat does not mean we are defeated. we lost this battle. the america of your dreams is calling for you to get back up. that's the story of america for over 240 years and counting. he has already phoned mr trump and invited him to the white house,

maybe as early as next week. he has 74 days left in office before what he promises will be an orderly transition of power. kamala harris also says the fight is not over, but what democrats were fighting for was roundly rejected by voters. the whole party needs to think again about their purpose and who they represent. they've got four long years before there's another shot at the white house. posed like royalty or a celebrated dynasty, the trump family, minus the future first lady. they've been restored to the top of american public life, and with a mandate to remake the nation. inside mar—a—lago, the trump florida residence, plans arejust starting to take shape over who to appoint to the top jobs in the cabinet and the white house, and drafting the first executive orders he will issue as soon as he takes power. leaving the white house four years ago, donald trump left behind many unfulfilled plans and ideas. this time, he wants to make sure

he really can do what he wants. sarah smith, bbc news, west palm beach. all eyes were on the white house and president biden�*s remarks today. anna foster was in the rose garden. anna, painta picture anna, painta picture anna, paint a picture of the anna, paint a picture of the atmosphere surrounding this event atmosphere surrounding this event today? today? atmosphere surrounding this event toda ? ., , g ., �* atmosphere surrounding this event toda ? ., , g ., �* today? clive, even as joe biden talked about _ today? clive, even as joe biden today? clive, even as joe biden talked about _ today? clive, even as joe biden talked about bringing _ today? clive, even as joe biden talked about bringing down - today? clive, even as joe biden talked about bringing down the | talked about bringing down the talked about bringing _ today? clive, even as joe biden talked about bringing down - today? clive, even as joe biden talked about bringing down the | talked about bringing down the temperature in america, in the rose temperature in america, in the rose garden, the atmosphere was garden, the atmosphere was unseasonably sunny here in unseasonably sunny here in washington, dc, the opposite of what washington, dc, the opposite of what he was talking about today. he had he was talking about today. he had two audiences that. there white two audiences that. there white wooden seats in front of the podium wooden seats in front of the podium that are normally filled with the that are normally filled with the members of the press were not today. members of the press were not today. they were white house staff, and they were white house staff, and when you heard joe biden talking, when you heard joe biden talking, giving almost a kindly uncle's pep giving almost a kindly uncle's pep talk, you heard his voice softening talk, you heard his voice has worked and those with a face as he was looking at, the people he has worked with, the people he will soon be looking at, the people he has worked with, the people he will soon be

leaving. but leaving. but behind that where the rows of cameras beaming that address notjust rows of cameras beaming that address not just across the rows of cameras beaming that address notjust across the us, but around the world, and that was why you had him making points about the integrity of the us electoral system that was fair and transparent, he said, and could be trusted. but he also talked about the making the most of his last 74 days of term, but as you say, the focus now is not going to be here untiljanuary, it's going to be here untiljanuary, it's going to be where you are in florida.

there's plenty of speculation that the owner of x, formerly twitter, elon musk, will be given a role. then onjanuary 6th, and this date may sound familiar, vice—president kamala harris will announce the election result and declare donald trump the winner to a joint session of congress. the last time this was supposed to happen, a mob broke into the us capitol building to try prevent vice—president mike pence from declaring joe biden the winner after the 2020 election. two weeks later, it's inauguration day once again for donald trump, joined by his vp, jd vance. after taking their oaths of office, a new administration begins. so who could be in the new cabinet? well, a notorious anti—vaxxer and a convicted felon fresh out ofjail could be in the frame,

all in florida to pay homage to donald trump, as tom bateman reports. the road to the white house forged its way through this key swing state of pennsylvania, so now the voters have made their choice, who might be in donald trump's top team? elon musk, the owner of ex—, spacex and tesla, and the richest man in the world, is tipped for an official position. world, is tipped for an official osition. ~ . ., world, is tipped for an official osition. ~ . . , ., ., , ., position. we have a new star, a star is born, position. we have a new star, a star is born. elon- _ position. we have a new star, a star is born, elon. the _ position. we have a new star, a star is born, elon. the elevation - position. we have a new star, a star is born, elon. the elevation of- is born, elon. the elevation of musk, is born, elon. the elevation of musk. whose _ is born, elon. the elevation of musk, whose rockets - is born, elon. the elevation of musk, whose rockets are - is born, elon. the elevation ofj musk, whose rockets are used is born, elon. the elevation of. musk, whose rockets are used by nasa, would give him extraordinary levels of power at the heart of government and business. he wants to oversee what he calls government waste. critics think that could lead to sucking large numbers of federal workers. during the campaign, he launched a $1 million a day giveaway to find likely republicans in swing states and register them to vote. i

lots of concern from them around donald trump. security is on the agenda, with real concerns about what happens next in ukraine. since russia's full scale invasion, the us has been the largest single donor to kyiv�*s war effort, and the fear ia that a government in washington could stop, if not end the flow of military aid. katya adler is in budapest. katya, those worries are live, no question about that. it was game on today for hungary's prime minister, who chose to host this meeting in budapest�*s main football stadium. donald trump's loudest fan amongst european leaders was clearly pleased he'd picked the winning team. translation: the situation in europe is complex and dangerous. 0ur transatlantic relations are key to the future security of europe. but not all his guests agree. donald trump's return

to the white house makes them anxious about european security, ukraine in particular. we have to give a clear message here today to the united states and the new administration that we support ukraine is long and as much as needed. ukraine's president zelensky was keen to remind allies here to stand by him as they promised, whatever the new view in washington. kyiv came under renewed russian attack this morning. what's not clear is if donald trump wants ukraine to win. europe's leaders tried today to seem united, confident about managing the next trump presidency. but away from the glare of our cameras, the fate of ukraine is in danger of turning into something of a transatlantic political football, because if donald trump does eventually turn off the taps of military aid, europe,

with governments so weak right now in big powers germany and france, is unlikely to be able to take up the slack. and leaders here have other priorities too. the prime minister chaired a side meeting here on migration. he's agreed a new pact with three western balkan nations to crack down on people—smugglers. that has been a major feature, that has been a majorfeature, how we take down the gangs are running the vile trade of people across borders. we are particularly concerned about those crossing the channel. i am determined we are going to those gangs. —— we are going to those gangs. —— we are going to those gangs. —— we are going to smash those gangs. migration and rising prices — many us election themes resonate with europe's voters too. leaders here in hungary today seemed to grasp that they ignore that at their political peril. katya adler, bbc news, budapest. katya with the situation in europe.

in charge of the house of representatives yet, but it might be the republicans. if he has got that, he can immediately slash huge amounts of tax for individuals and corporations. that is something he wants to do first, and he has to prepare himself to institute huge 20% tariffs on all goods coming into the us that he talked about in the campaign. so there are people in mar—a—lago trying to make sure that his first 100 days are dramatic, are radical and that he is going to put his stamp on this country and show that he really is going to get things done.— that's all from the team here. now to sophie in the studio with the rest of the day's news. here is fiona bruce with what is coming up on question time. the american coming up on question time. iie: american people coming up on question time. tie: american people have coming up on question time. ti2 american people have given a resounding yes to donald trump. what does it mean for us? we will also be discussing domestic matters. we are
