at ten — president biden promises an orderly transition of power to donald trump. 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. tonight, the president—elect uses a phone interview to say there'll be no price tag for his plan of mass deportation of immigrants from america. earlier it was all smiles in a family photo, which included elon musk, as the jostling for position in his cabinet begins. britain's foreign secretary, david lammy, tells the bbc his past strong criticism of donald trump, is "old news". we're on the east coast of florida, which for the next few weeks is a new seat of power in america. donald trump, about a mile away, has been speaking to world

leaders on the phone, from his luxury resort, mar—a—lago. also on the programme... prosecutors in argentina charge three people over the death of liam payne, the former one direction star who fell from a hotel balcony last month. the archbishop of canterbury says he's thought about resigning over the church of england's failure to stop a serial abuser. and the bank of england cuts interest rates again — they're down to 4.75%. and on bbc london — millions to tackle rough on newsnight at 10:30pm tonight, we will bring you fresh insight on the stories of the day with big interviews and our regular panel of newsnighters, and, of course, look at what the papers are saying about tomorrow's news.

hello to you. we're in west palm beach, florida, where donald trump in his residence at mar—a—lago, up the road, is beginning to think about who'll be in his new cabinet. tonight the president—elect has told a us broadcaster that he's already spoken to 70 world leaders from here. meanwhile the man he'll be replacing in the white house, joe biden, in his first address since the election, insisted there will be a "peaceful transfer of power", and 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 team and develop his plan to govern. 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. he has already called mr trump and invited him to the white house, maybe as early as next week, and promises a peaceful, orderly transition of power. 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. this election loss is now part of his legacy and many democrats blame him for the defeat. if he had stepped aside earlier, would the result have been different? president biden believes he made the right decision when he

decided to step aside. and immediately endorse the vice president and you saw the party come behind her, support her, and he believed it was the right thing for— the american people. he put himself aside. this was not about him. posed like royalty or a celebrated dynasty, the trump family, minus the future first lady. and including elon musk, presumably now an honorary family member. they've been restored to the top of american public life, and inside mar—a—lago, the trump florida residence, plans are taking shape — who to appoint to the top jobs, and drafting the first executive orders he will issue. mr trump says he has talked to around 70 world leaders and he spoke to one journalist today who said he feeling bullish. and i asked him, well, _ what is the price tag to this mass deportation plan that . you have talked about? what specifically will it look like? how will it work? and he said, "there is no price tag, you have no choice." _

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. anna foster was in the rose garden for president biden�*s address and we can speak to her now. one wonders what the mood was like as he was speaking.— as he was speaking. well, clive, it was packed _ as he was speaking. well, clive, it was packed in _ as he was speaking. well, clive, it was packed in the _ as he was speaking. well, clive, it was packed in the rose _ as he was speaking. well, clive, it was packed in the rose garden - as he was speaking. well, clive, it| was packed in the rose garden and when president biden walked out into the bright sunshine i think he was talking to two distinct audiences. one was the group of white house staff members who were right in front of him filling the chairs that the press normally would and at times his voice really softened as he thanked them for their service, told them not to give up, and behind that on the rise as you had the assembled press, they were shouting questions at the end of that speech about what went wrong with the democratic campaign, why kamala harris was not elected, but they

didn't get any answers. tonight, president biden is a few feet away from me in the west wing. he urged his supporters to make the most of the last 7a days of that term but during that time attention will be less on the white house and this place and much more where you are tonight in florida.— tonight in florida. indeed, anna foster at the _ tonight in florida. indeed, anna foster at the white _ tonight in florida. indeed, anna foster at the white house, - tonight in florida. indeed, annal foster at the white house, thank tonight in florida. indeed, anna - foster at the white house, thank you for that. as anna was saying, power has already started to shift away from president biden in the white house, to here in west palm beach, where donald trump has his highly protected resort of mar—a—lago. it's about a mile behind me and living up to its reputation as mr trump's "winter white house". son, see and politics —— sun, sea.

welcome to florida and where many a house has the stars and stripes fluttering in the yard. none is bigger or grander than this one, high above mar—a—lago, now a camelot in the sun. gunboats on the water, watch towers high above, and behind all the security, donald trump, a man who won the white house, lost it and then won it again. his victory against kamala harris, a hole in one, but the next few weeks won't just be about golf. here in florida he will be busy picking a cabinet to serve the people. what do voters want from the man they have given a second shot? my want from the man they have given a second shot?— second shot? my little baby. meet this family. _ second shot? my little baby. meet this family. they— second shot? my little baby. meet this family, they enthusiastically l this family, they enthusiastically voted for donald trump and sum up the expectations of millions across this land hoping he will deliver. i do expect him to fix the economy. things are very inflated right now so that's something i expect him to

as tom bateman reports. donald trump is surrounded by the wealthy, powerful and politically influential. now they are vying for jobs in his top team — some established, others unconventional and controversial. elon musk, the owner of x, spacex and tesla, and the richest man in the world is tipped for an official position. let me tell you, we have a new star, a star is born. _ elon! we have liftoff. 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. takeover, elon! critics think that could lead to sacking large numbers of federal workers. "let that sink in," he said, when trump won. roles are also possible for members of donald trump's family, building on this american dynasty

in the white house. there's room for you in this party and in this movement. _ donald junior, the eldest son of the president—elect is the self—appointed heir of his maga movement — a constant feature on the campaign trail, he's tipped for an inner circle role. put common sense first. he was a vocal part in the attempt to cast doubt on witnesses that eventually saw his father convicted for 3h felony counts of falsifying business records. set for a role possibly overseeing public health is robert f kennedyjunior. rfkjunior, the nephew of presidentjohn f kennedy, is a vocal skeptic of vaccines, spreading baseless and discredited theories about them. we need to fight as americans... doctors have warned that an official role for him would endanger public health. donald trump's second term appointments look set to be defined by disruption

and un—orthodoxy. his critics say he is trying to get rid of any guardrails around his presidency, and those working in the current political status quo are bracing themselves. tom bateman, bbc news, philadelphia. so what happens next? in the coming weeks the president—elect will visit joe biden in the white house to discuss the handover. at the end of the month donald trump is due to be sentenced for covering up illegal payments — but it's thought his lawyers will ask for this hearing to be pushed back. onjanuary sixth vice president harris will formally announce the election result and declare donald trump the winner. two weeks later, it's inauguration day. donald trump and jd vance take their respective oaths of office in a swearing—in ceremony, after which the second trump administration begins.

well, our north america editor sarah smith is here with me. what a roller—coaster ride this has been, frankly. we are now in florida. the winter white house is over there. florida. the winter white house is over there-— florida. the winter white house is over there. �* ., , ., ., over there. and what is going on in there is an — over there. and what is going on in there is an enormous job _ over there. and what is going on in there is an enormous job of- over there. and what is going on in there is an enormous job of work. | there is an enormous job of work. the idea of transitioning to any new presidency, there are many thousands ofjobs presidency, there are many thousands of jobs that presidency, there are many thousands ofjobs that need to be filled and people who need to be appointed. the biggest and most important is his chief of staff. he went through four off them the last time and his final chief of staff ended up saying he was a fascist so he will be looking for somebody more like minded and loyal, possibly susie wilde who ran his campaign very professionally. if it so you can expect a white house that will run in a rather more grown—up line than the first trump administration. there is policy as well, being prepared, so in his first 100 days he gets plenty done,

executive orders he can sign without having to put things through congress, for instance raising those trade tariffs we've talked about, 20% on imported goods but it's not going to be smooth saving. today already, jerome powell, head of the federal reserve, like the bank of england, said he will not resign even if he is asked to end the incoming president cannot sack him although donald trump has been clear he would like to sack him, so that's an idea of the tussles you would see between now and the inauguration. sarah smith, our north america editor there. sarah smith, our north america editorthere. faisal sarah smith, our north america editor there. faisal islam will have more on donald trump �*s plans and elon musk and his role in the president elect�*s victory newsnight on bbc two shortly. tonight, newsnight asks, what does elon musk get in return for his political investment? musk rocket—boosted trump's campaign. his car company has increased a fifth in value since trump's re—election, but what is he trying to achieve? our guests include elon musk�*s father. watch at 10:30pm on bbc two,

bbc news or bbc iplayer. that is coming up with faisal, not long to go there. in his first interview since donald trump won the american presidential election, the foreign secretary, david lammy, has told the bbc his previous strong criticisms of mr trump are "old news" and he had felt "in his bones" the president—elect would win for some months. he also said the government would seek to ensure no import taxes — tariffs — were imposed by america on the uk. mr lammy has been speaking to adam fleming and our political editor chris mason, on the bbc�*s newscast podcast. foreign secretary, how are you doing? being foreign secretary is all about shaking hands with folk and getting on with people, which is fine unless you have spent rather a while, well, slagging them off. which is exactly what david lammy used to do about donald trump, who he now says he had reckoned for a while would triumph. my gut had been telling me but also my head had been telling me that they were in a strong position. was your hunch that

trump was going to win? i've got to say it was, i've got to say it was. i felt in my bones that they could be a trump presidency. so, april 2019, you said, "deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic, donald trump is no friend of britain." have you changed your mind or is that still your view? this is old news. here, chris, i'm sitting here as foreign secretary. i've had a meal with donald trump, i've met donald trump. did you talk about this stuff? did you apologise? did he bring it up? not even vaguely! i've got to say, i found him to be a very gracious host. did he offer you a second portion of chicken or something?! he didn't offer me a second portion of chicken! he was very generous, very gracious. very keen to make sure that we felt relaxed and comfortable in his surroundings. he was funny. i want to put one more quote to you, from time magazine in 2018,

and you said, "trump is not only a woman—hating, neo—nazi sympathising sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order that has been the foundation of western progress for so long." and i put it to you, you are now the uk's chief diplomat. this back catalogue of quotes matters, doesn't it? the truth is, when you are doing thisjob, you understand the extent and breadth of the us—uk relationship. and in the end, he is finding common ground just as i am finding common ground. and listen to this, a potential imminent flashpoint with washington if donald trump imposes big tariffs, import taxes. we will seek to ensure and to get across to the united states, and i believe that they would understand this, that hurting your closest allies cannot be in your medium or long—term interests. trade, ukraine, the middle east, climate change — the foreign

secretary's job has got a whole lot harder this week. chris mason, bbc news. that is the view from the uk. president putin has congratulated donald trump on his victory. the russian leader said he was ready to talk to the president—elect, as any ideas on ending what he called �*the ukraine crisis' were worth considering. steve rosenberg reports from sochi in southern russia. world leaders have been queueing up to congratulate america's new president. vladimir putin, though, had stayed silent, until now. donald trump will love this. translation: the way he behaved i during the attempt on his life, i that made an impression on me. he is a brave man. then more praise, as the kremlin leader said he is ready to talk to trump.

what he's said publicly about wanting to improve relations with russia and resolve the ukraine conflict, i think that at least deserves attention. i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as the us president. in donald trump's first term, relations with russia had got worse, but the kremlin will spy an opportunity now to build a strong relationship and try to use that to end the war in ukraine on terms beneficial to russia. vladimir putin made his comments at a conference in the mountains of southern russia. the kremlin is counting on a trump administration to thaw ties with the west. when donald trump first became president in 2016, the kremlin's expectations were sky high. trump was seen as an american leader who would move mountains to mend

us—russian relations. it didn't happen. but clearly russian officials haven't lost hope. some here are hoping that donald trump will clip america's wings. trump will spur the retreat of the united states from the position of a global superpower to a position of a global normal power. and moscow may benefit from other people in america. —— from upheaval in america. so the more the united states is embarrassed, the more united states is in disarray, the more united states is arguing with itself, the more united states looks confused, the better it is for the kremlin the title of this conference was together into a new world. vladimir putin cannot wait. steve rosenberg, bbc news, sochi. more than a0 european leaders, including ukraine's president

zelensky, have met in budapest today, with concerns over america's support for ukraine high on the agenda. since russia's full—scale invasion, the us has been by far the largest single donor to ukraine's war effort, but president—elect donald trump has criticised the amount of financial support being sent to kyiv. tonight in washington, president biden's administration has said it intends to "do everything in its power" to get aid to ukraine before the end of mr biden's presidency. more on that in a moment from jeremy bowen in washington, but first, let's speak to katya adler is in budapest. katya, what was the atmosphere like? was the mood one of dread when the course president zelensky was at that meeting and it must have been quite hard for him because, as we

have just heard, quite hard for him because, as we havejust heard, ukraine has received the biggest amount of military aid from the united states. and now the winds of change are really blowing from washington after the us election. donald trump says he wants to put a swift end to the war but he has not said that he wants ukraine to win. and who hosted the summit today in budapest? none other than the most outspoken and ardent trump admirer amongst european leaders, the hungarian prime minister, viktor orban, who today demanded an immediate ceasefire in ukraine, something volodymyr zelensky would be dangerous without getting security guarantees. of course he recognises that all of the european leaders here want to have as good a relationship as possible with the next us president but what he also wanted to date was reassurances from close allies that they would not be turning their back on former promises and sir keir starmer, who was here in budapest, said that

support for ukraine is ironclad but frankly, clive, if donald trump decides to turn off that tap of military aid or even reduce it to a trickle, it's very hard to see how europe will pick up the slack, especially when big powers like france and germany are so hobbled right now by their own domestic political problems.— political problems. indeed, all ri . ht, political problems. indeed, all right. thank— political problems. indeed, all right, thank you _ political problems. indeed, all right, thank you for _ political problems. indeed, all right, thank you for that. i political problems. indeed, all. right, thank you for that. jeremy political problems. indeed, all- right, thank you for that. jeremy in washington, are we then going to see, do you think, a massive attempt by the biden administration to get out as much military aid as it can before january when president trump takes office? , before january when president trump takes office?— takes office? yes, joe biden has about 74 days — takes office? yes, joe biden has about 74 days i _ takes office? yes, joe biden has about 74 days i think _ takes office? yes, joe biden has about 74 days i think in - takes office? yes, joe biden has about 74 days i think in the i about 74 days i think in the white house behind me and he has said that there is i think $9 billion left in there is i think $9 billion left in the ukraine there is i think $9 billion left in
