this is d.w. needs my from birth a u.s. president elect joe biden says now is the time to heal in america it's time to put forward the horse rhetoric girl jerk richard see each other again and listen to each other again biden delivered his speech in his home state of delaware after being announced when.

i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program u.s. president elect joe biden has addressed the nation for the 1st time since claiming victory in tuesday's election by delivered the speech in his home state of delaware alongside vice president elect comma the running mates emerged victorious after taking a clearly in the swing state of pennsylvania after days of vote counting. fireworks light up the docks sky in delaware but will a new dawn soon be upon america joe biden has one power promising just that. to a country that has been living through a year of pandemic and on the rest the veteran league is promising to bring a new by. the bible tells us to every day there is a season a time to build a time to reprint a time to serve and

a time to hear oh this is the time to heal in america. alongside biden a woman who says she's determined to heal the country's rice who divisions camilla harris will be the country's 1st female a minority vice president she did the k.t. did victory to the civil rights movement and said it will help restore us democracy and when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election with the very soul of america at stake and the world watching you ushered in a new day for america. in washington d.c. and in many of america's blue states that was celebrations for these people and many elsewhere tonight marks a huge victory in america's beach a culture war they see themselves as weakness who've won back their own country or

like america again and i feels like it feels like we're now back on the right track america is back we have regained america all people time is static for the nation. but the other america has been out on the streets to on saturday stop the steel rallies were held in closely contested states. mike here in michigan these people believe the president's on verified theories you broadens claims to be the we know we suspicion. really believe. on the trail and then you think it was. then i encourage president roh to continue his lawsuits . you know fight for you know this the stealing of this stop this really of this election right now the current president looks like he's digging into his bunker as joe biden won the election and donald trump went golfing supporters cheat him on

the way back to the white house for much of virgin america donald trump is still very much their president. did have his columns like hers in washington she was following that speech comma what one of the most remarkable aspects of this 1st public appearance of the president elect it was a very good speech that joe biden ok fair and that was important because he is not considered the best speaker what he emphasized of course as we just heard was bringing the country together healing the country and she was saying we're not red states and blue states we're the united states of america and that was very welcome change for many americans from the divisive fredrick that we have heard from president trump over the last 4 years and president elect joe biden also think african-americans saying you stood up for us when we really needed it and that was

very important because the black communities in places like atlanta and philadelphia really helped to win this election one of the top priorities for the incoming administration. biden made very clear that his number one priority would be controlling the coronavirus pandemic is already said he is very shortly going to announce a task force with scientists and experts on board which was of course very good news for many people here in the u.s. who were tired of hearing from a president who does not seem to care very much about about science and about medical experts and then biden also mentioned that he was going to fight a systemic racism and tackle climate change and he has previously said that the u.s. for example would rejoin the paris climate agreement those are the things that are

on the top of his list for when he becomes president and big agenda the right kind of blanket in washington thank you very much. and for more on this election now joined by in the studio he's from the u.s. election same pay to thanks for coming in i want to start with comma harras because this is as stark she's written by king history here is with her the 1st woman in a comma what sort of change does she represent in u.s. politics i should set there it's historic she said highest ranking woman since the birth united states. she on top of that she's the 1st black woman she's the 1st asian american woman this we heard in that report when she took the stage last night as we also saw she was wearing you know all white which was a nod to the suffragists 200 years ago fought for women's right to vote it's hard i think to overstate the symbolic importance of kabul harris. a particular for women of color i think for them it does seem to be kind of their obama moment the

moment where they finally see someone who looks like them in her office in the highest office of the live. you know carla harris said in a speech on saturday while maybe the 1st woman in this office will not be the last because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities so i think for many kamel harris is to choose door of the civil. now the u.s. is of course facing many challenges right now kala touched on then what do you think biden and harris will be able to do do you think they'll be strong pot means because they are they do have quite different differences in their politics they do i mean come on hers is further to the left than joe biden we saw it up particularly during the primary season where she was one of that of joe biden's toughest challengers call them out on a lot of policies blaming him for not being progressive enough. stock to the matter though is i mean when when joe biden served as

a rock obama's vice president they didn't agree on all policies but that's not the point of this office her job as vice president would be to support the president will be to help joe biden shepherd through his agenda through congress where she will serve in the senate as the president we're looking at a very very tight senate race there where it could come down to 50 democrats and 50 republicans so a split on a lot of issues where she would get to cast the final decisive vote. so that is really important to keep in mind but also keep in mind that campaign season is over disallow action has been called and they're representing all of them are and whether you like it or not donald trump still got at least one more than 70000000 votes and so he will have to compromise on a lot of issues and at it talking about donald trump as the news broke he was out golfing as we just heard he was at the trump national golf and turns during the ginia he finished up his game before returning to the white house several hours

later with biden supporters jeered dearing the president's motorcade from the side of the ride there those pictures there is so far refused to come see to faint in the election and says illegally challenge the results refusing to can say deceit but i haven't any reactions out of the white house it's been fairly silent i mean what we have. heard is his press secretary continued the barrage of attacks we've seen trump do the same to some extent but on a very subdued note he only sent out after the announcement 2 tweets both of which were labeled by twitter as misleading again trying to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election claiming that he won. you know so. not likely to see a concession speech. well i don't know it's working on that that's a big question will he have how will he handle this i mean we are still looking at

about 2 months a little over 2 months will there be an orderly transition is one of the questions . so far he has made no indication according to reports that he is going to make it any easier for biden see takes over this very challenging office i mean we're looking out of endemic we're looking at an economy that shockley we're looking at challenges on all fronts when donald trump took over from barack obama the obama administration had gone to great ways to prepare an orderly transition even though barack obama did not particularly like or agree with donald trump a lot of issues we have not heard any indication that donald trump at astray ssion has done anything to that effect. so there e interesting days and weeks ahead it could be a very bumpy road even just the next couple months yes you know hanukkah thanks very much joe biden's victory crowns

a long career in politics mom that includes 2 previous filed presidential bid and 8 is in office as barack obama's 2nd in command here's a closer look at the man who will be in charge of the white house for the next 4 years. it began half a century ago at 29 joseph biden was one of the youngest candidates ever elected to the u.s. senate his success though laced with sadness when just weeks later his wife and daughter died in a car accident he remarried and made his 1st presidential bed in 1988 and again 20 years later my grandmother would yell out spread the faith. he was chosen to be barack obama's running mate. the best buy's president barack has ever had mr joe biden. and he resigned to never quite reaching the nation's highest office until donald trump came along that's why the dam announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. that we have to with his decades of experience biden said he was

the man to restore america's standing in the world that he was the man for the moment i'll be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over he promised a sure leadership in the midst of the coronavirus condemning. it's estimated that nearly another 210000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year and nothing no more. let's just set partisanship aside our butts and the politics and follow the signs. ultimately the voters agreed and made joseph biden the 46 president of the united states of america hard time lucky. the congratulations from global ladies have been coming in german chancellor angela

merkel congratulated biden shortly after my agent networks declared them the winners in a statement posted on twitter she wrote i look forward to working with president biden transatlantic friendship is indispensable if we had to deal with the major challenges of our time. so how is the news of biden's victory being received here in germany our reporters have been getting reaction from people on the street talk open i think what you want to but he has divided the united states let's see what i will bring in the end it can only get better for america but because of. you i am sat yet i hope that change but i'm not on biden side. he definitely is the better choice in the end trump and his methods are impossible maybe the world will be a more peaceful place not. better than triumph for sure. come on it's always a matter of opinion but after the way trump is acted in public i think for the u.s.

it's better that biden has won. because it's probably going to turn to some other stories making news around the world the younger prophet of the japanese emperor has been sworn in to become the heir apparent to the throne crown prince for me he was only sworn in as 1st in line of the traditional palace ritual that was close phone for 7 months and scaled down to to the coronavirus pandemic. tropical storm has left dozens dead and hundreds missing is that swept across central america rescue efforts are underway and guatemala and honduras where the storm holds widespread devastation and flooding is now heading towards cuba on the southern tip of florida. you're watching news more headlines at the top of the hour well a view with fireworks show in wilmington delaware celebrating joe biden's election as the next u.s. president thankful. i

know nothing out of the well because i'm less than nothing with you but you have been thinking deep into the german culture of. new jersey will take his grandmother they all believe it's all about who they are i'm rachel join me for me to get. both. how does a virus spread. why do we parent and then we'll. just 3 of the text.
