stolen trump has yet to concede defeat and is vowing to press ahead with his legal challenge. thanks for joining us joe biden has begun his 1st full day as u.s. president elect by getting down to work biden is planning an overhaul of government with a task force to tackle the pandemic as his top priority at a victory speech in his home state of delaware he was flanked by his running mate vice president elect. biden use the address to reinforce his message that it's time to heal a divided nation. the docs. america joe biden promising.

to a country that has been living through a year of pandemic in unrest the veteran league is promising to bring a new by. the bible tells us to everything there is a season a time to build the time to reprint a time to serve and a time to hear all this is a 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 key to 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's weren't change 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 not mox a huge victory in america's beats a culture war they see themselves as weakness who've won back their own country they're 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 for all people simon tannock 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 like here in michigan these people believe the president's on verified theorise view biden's claims to be the we know with suspicion. that he had a rans. if i get it. and i encourage president trying to continue with

lawsuits. you know fight for you know the stealing of the stop the killing in this election right now the current president looks like he's digging into his bunker as joe biden won the election but golfing supporters cheat him on the way back to the white house for much of red america don't know trump is still very much the president let's bring in our u.s. correspondent. in washington d.c. greetings to me as we speak the united states is waking up to a new era in history how's the mood there. well it's been a pretty quiet morning here mike i walked by the white house and there was a lot of cleaning up going on black life better plaza where everyone saw there were huge crowds rally there yesterday and a party that continued into the night these were joe biden's supporters who were celebrating and there is a sense among them at least of the relief and jubilation but as we saw in that

report among donald trump supporters there is disbelief and frustration and anger as well particularly as a some of them don't recognize that joe biden has been elected and from the white house itself well we're hearing reports from the white house pool reporters that the president is on the move that he's leaving the white house we don't know where he is headed we do know that this morning he's been active again on twitter i'm just looking at his twitter feed here he is again repeating those claims of voter fraud and that this election was stolen from him and says that particularly the big cities where a lot of mail in ballots were cast that these are the ones where he believes fraud took place fraud that stole the selection from him so michael that doesn't bode well for what we might see in the course of the day the president clearly making clear here and that he is not willing to concede this election that the major divide in the united states in the drama is not over what are the biggest changes expected. well 1st and foremost we know what to expect as the biggest change from

joe biden now he made clear that tackling the covert 1000 pandemic is the biggest priority and he's announced that he will create a task force of us scientists and experts as he put it on monday and that they will drop plans to fight the virus and we also heard in his acceptance speech that he will really build that plan as he said on science and it would be constructed out of as he put it to compassion and empathy and conserve and the need for this is dire michael as we've all been focusing on the election the pandemic has been getting much worse here on friday there were $126000.00 new cases reported that's a new daily record and we are fast approaching $10000000.00 total cases nearly 240000 people have died so. it is not surprising that this will be a big priority for joe biden going forward assuming what happens now during the transition period. well this is always a busy time for an incoming president so it's 10 weeks usually between election day in an operation but the fact that we waited for results and that president trump as

we said hasn't made any indication is going to concede that it's cut into that time so it'll be even busier for joe biden couple of harris and we certainly will see them get into action 1st of all really choosing who they want to have surrounding them so chiefs of staff advisors and so on and those choices will tell us michael what direction they're heading in that will be really interesting on foreign policy what americans allies and partners around the world can expect and joe biden has repeatedly promised to be a president for all americans he's expected to sit down with leaders from the republican party as well as he builds his team and builds this path forward no doubt at this hour the republican party is clearly. what is the future for the g.o.p. . a lot of people are asking that question michael's been really interesting to see that only a handful of republicans have actually congratulated joe biden a victory in the rest of maine remained largely silent one prominent republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina is actually calling now on the justice

department to investigate a legal vote counting in pennsylvania so here he is simply backing the president's unsubstantiated claims that this election was fraudulent and the reasons for that michel are clear president trump we have to say is still massively popular among republicans more than 70000000 people voted for him and if they believe this election was manipulated then you know party members lawmakers want to align themselves with the president but this party has become the donald trump party and the question is going to be if he's no longer the president what will their path forward be in deciding what they want to be and what they want to stand for with or without president trump i was. in washington d.c. as always to me thank you so much. joe biden's victory crowns a long career in politics one that includes 2 previous failed presidential bid and 8 years as barack obama's 2nd in command here's a closer look at the man who will run 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 1008 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 vice president barack has ever had mr joe biden. when he resigned to never quite reach in the nation's highest office until donald trump came along that's why today i'm announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. and we have to with this decades of experience biden said he was the man to restore america's standing in the world but 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. it's estimated that nearly another 210000 americans could lose their lives by the end of the year anough no more. let's just set partisanship aside our butts and the politics and follow the signs. alternately the voters agreed on me joseph biden the 46 president of the united states of america hard time lucky. for more analysis i'm now joined by did stacy bevins from our us election team stacy good to see you as always in his victory speech biden vowed to unify the nation how is he going to do that bearing in mind that the president of the united states was able to get more than 70000000 americans to vote for him i think he's

already started to do that we're so used to this rhetoric from president tribe and here is joe biden newly elected reaching across the aisle already saying we want to work together let's put aside this era of putting people down and let's give each other the benefit of the doubt so i think that that's a very important we haven't learned the 4 years of trump that the president's words matter and so not only is joe biden reaching out to the other side but he's also encouraging democrats to welcome republicans as well you know camel harris has made history in several ways obviously with this election what sort of change there's she represented in united states politics i think she represents what america is you just look at her story she's the child of immigrants she's a part of a blended family she is. part of a family where the husband is very supportive of her as well and. is now going to be that the 2nd gentleman which we've never seen and i heard somebody say that you

can't be what you can't see and so yes she's extremely qualified she went to a historically black university howard she went to the university of california law school she was the top cop and california as the attorney general but for so many black and brown girl she's an example that you can reach your goals and yet at the same time there's a whole nother part of the electorate that might feel that she is completely alien from them yes and again donald trump didn't help we were talking earlier about the other ring of people and just trying to make her seem like she's not really one of us when her story is so very american immigrants coming over and making a new life teaching strong values values of unity and family and being and contributing to the community so i'm sure it's going to be difficult it's going to be different for the senators as well or congress people in general dealing with somebody who is different from what they used to deal with they're used to dealing

with you know the typical white guy and now they have the system they're saying i think we need to do this this and this i'm sure that's going to be a shock to the system but this is america stacey bivins from the u.s. election team really appreciate your perspective. let's briefly highlight some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour members of the british royal family and prime minister boris johnson have laid wreaths at the center of town in london on remembrance sunday a 2 minute silence was held during the traditional ceremony paying tribute to those killed in war memorials also took place across the u.k. . more than 300. streets. in the. internet was restricted.

history. the moon bird trials. 75 years ago a high ranking officers of the nazi regime were indicted by the allied forces. they were the 1st war criminals to be held accountable for their crimes. in our 2 part series the 1st week in the talk starts nov 12th on g.w. . germany in 1945 hitler was dead his nazi regime had taken the lives of 6000000 jews. the country's leading representatives were to be held accountable for their actions by an international military tribunal for the 1st

time in world history. 24 high ranking nazis were charged and made to stand trial in the german city of moore and back in school with. their class assumes students i don't think you can consider the holocaust in terms of classical justice at all. that's in the end there's no forgiving what happened on that side especially in this. but at least the perpetrators could be tried in court how do the victims and the children of the war criminals view the nuremberg trials 75 years on. my nominees my name is paid to johan god those in 1944 we were all deported to auschwitz when my entire family was murdered there. goes wrong i'm the class tunk

the son of huns fung hitler's deputy in occupied poland he was the governor general and politically responsible for every murder committed there between 19391945. so if she could not my name is not to play in my maiden name is toma and my my father was the assigned defense counsel for a flute holds him back. hitler's chief idealogue of the holes in baghdad and the 1st deputy in poland hans funk were among the leading nazis who were in the dock in nuremberg on nov 20th 1945 many other high ranking nazis had gone into hiding or like hitler and his propaganda minister use of google those had committed suicide the trials were held in iran back of all places the city where the nazi party had staged its rallies where the fascist had flexed their muscles.

now for the 1st time in history a state's rulers were to be held personally responsible for their crimes by an international tribunal the for war time allied powers the us the soviet union britain and france had agreed to this even before the hostilities ceased in what might be called an irony of history nuremberg the palace of justice was left virtually undamaged by the war room 600 the largest in the criminal court was remodeled to accommodate the trial of the century. could told a retired judge was asked by the americans to defend walls and bag there were too few lawyers who hadn't been compromised during the nazi era. could not a loon who was 17 at the time later accompanied her father to the trial on several occasions. and mind my own father was picked up by

a jeep it was the cia. the cia and not i need. to look a few hours later he returned and said. i've been called on to be the court appointed defense counsel for 2 accused who still don't have any defense lawyers enough kind. won't mind. my father was very distressed and said i had no other choice i had to except. for nicholas funk the trials mark the abrupt end of a carefree childhood his father hans frank hitler's deputy and occupied poland was one of the major war criminals he was called the butcher of poland a fact that didn't escape nicholas who was just 6 at the time of the trial. after

school someone taunted me minister minister gas canister because i was the son of a rush minister that wasn't so bad another said hey mickey that's what they called me your dad's going to hang soon all i said was yes. more than $600.00 journalists from around the world followed the nuremberg trials. to new or do you is mushy all you could hear was the translators machines. and. i in a. if i'm even me it was a tense oppressive atmosphere. yeah. that was also charged with shame. most fear that. the major war criminals were indicted on the following charges conspiring to commit crimes against peace planning initiating and waging

a war of aggression participating in war crimes and crimes against humanity. because i mentioned mistreated. all of the accused pleaded not guilty. to god i was just 14 years old when he was sent to auschwitz in 1944 along with his mother and his little sister both of them were killed in the gas chambers. god or she survived. so i followed the proceedings and was gratified to see that at least the main war criminals were put in the dark by the allies. and that in the end they got the punishment they deserved. during the trials testimony from witnesses and documents showed that the jewish victims had been murdered systematically by all these

corpses died of suffocation and people. but the major war criminals denied responsibility for the killings. accused didn't exactly cover themselves in glory at the nuremberg trials they denied responsibility and blamed everything on their superiors they were just following orders they pinned it all on their dead leader had learned. so they tried to deny everything. and then in the trial they were shown films of the concentration camps with the mountains of corpses. and even hearing with stun you could see that. dr toma for the defendant rosenberry for alfred toma an avowed opponent of the nazi regime who now had to defend a nazi war criminal proceedings were ruling and to dust by.

if i was a real shock for everyone involved basically all of the lawyers. because they'd never suspected the dimension of the crimes. but. nish. they didn't know the extent of the atrocities committed at auschwitz. stood tall back and doesn't pass my father certainly didn't and it was conducted with the so many germans only learned the full extent of the nazis crimes during the trial including those committed by mick last fox father. so i have the feeling that he was rightfully charged on through these because i saw photos of the corpses of the concentration camps including the bodies of children who were my age at the time and that shocked me because it only said underneath

them poland i thought poland belong to us the funk family my oldest brother norman saw the photos and he went to our mother and said mom if the photos are real dad doesn't stand a chance of you can you show us. on october 1st 1946 the verdicts were announced of the accused 3 were acquitted 3 received lifetime sentences and 4 were given prison sentences. 12 were sentenced to death the executions took place not long afterwards in the trial court's former gym. you know i saw it at the cinema they showed that they're not how they were hanging about them wanting in their coffins with the white and black stripe robe around their necks i thought they all deserved to wear those neckties is it kind of a good. 12 more trials took place at the u.s.

military tribunal in iran back. of the $185.00 additional defendants $24.00 were initially sentenced to death. we need to i don't think that we germans back then or even later on condemned those criminals. the allies did it for us. niche v d she applies i don't know how those trials would have gone in a german court to get bitched. after the last of the american led trials few attempts were made to capture and prosecute other nazi war criminals the world was preoccupied by the cold war and germans once again had the say in their own courtrooms so many former nazis remained in positions of authority in the young federal republic of germany. many of the others who had blood

on their hands were never caught. people caught after being let in the direction of democracy by the allies the victors who freed us it would really have been good to clean house and charge everyone. but naturally people didn't want that especially those guilty of crimes. including when. they used their connections to prevent that and then the supreme court exonerated all of the judges. teach ya the justice system never really cleaned house. the old judges and department heads were back again. and sitting on the constitutional court and cost us no skittish. still the nuremberg trials

were a historic milestone. and they later paved the way for the creation of the international criminal court in the hague. to give us the people an improper you know only positive thing to come out of my father's criminal life was that due to him those 4 indictments were invented or found to put people like him on trial. to to. nicholas fog always carries a photo of his father who was sentenced to death and hanged whenever he feels just the tiniest sense of pity for his father he thinks about the images of auschwitz and that restores his belief that justice was served at the norm bad trials.
