also, before you go yes, only just so you can see not a trace of oil money to be found. what happened to a gun, a stream of black gold oil promises starts december 4th, w. 3 weeks after the us election. the transition of power from president trump to president elect biden has officially begun the dal for the 1st time ever hit 30000 points, a jubilant wall street. while main street hardly noticed, trump continues claiming that the vote was rigged. 70 percent of republicans believe him. 70000000 people voted for him. can joe biden change their hearts and minds? is he bipartisan enough to bridge these divided united states of america?

i'm burnt off in berlin. this is the day the country is genuinely divided. how much damage has the president done? thomas damage can't do that preceded donald trump, but it certainly was accelerated by his presidency. well, i think he has definitely sent back to the democratic norm here in the united states, stop the abuse. we can invite people to bridge the differences that divide us the division. let's begin that work to heal a new north, to heal and unite in america as well as the world. also coming up when are you planning to travel again? by plane to the pandemic has grounded air travel. now. the australian airline

quansah says it knows how to protect your health and the health of the entire industry. and we are looking at changing our tense a conditions to say, for international travelers. at that we will ask people to fix nation before they can get on the aircraft. but you, our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the kind of american exceptionalism that no one is bragging about. according to pew research, the pandemic has revealed how uniquely pervasive and deep the divide in american politics in society is 90 percent. say a victory by the other political party would result in lasting harm to the u.s. . but it is not only politics here, religion, trust in science, respect for government, race relations, national identity, attitudes towards the media. these are all areas where people usually debate,

but in the us they have become markers of a toxic, tribal and binary system that gives you 2 choices. you're like us or you're like them. it is this demonization of each other that president elect. joe biden has promised to address biden is the closest to a bipartisan president. americans have known in a long time, a centrist, yet his ability to bridge the divide may depend on what voters in the u.s. state of georgia decide in january. he doesn't use washington bureau chief in this poll has more tonight on a nation deeply divided in the heart of one of the most divided counties in georgia. nice. the town minutes with half of its population is white and 48 percent . disaffection. america, in an antique shop, in downtown, to find many items that reflect the time when milledgeville was jewel, just the state capital. that was during the civil war. when the confederacy

including draw into, fought to keep slavery some elements of that time still seem relevant to shop owner in their youth and seems to be stuck in the past. there is never, we're never going to be equality in race. he has a grim take on the current political situation now, and i don't think the republicans and the democrats are going to maybe own level play and feel like griffin has been doing his bit to level george, also a political playing field for decades. he was the 1st democrat to have been elected from this area to the georgia senate and also served as minute rules may or the bottom line is ratios on. here in an american president majority, the white community are going to be in a minority here pretty soon,

and they fear that the black and brown people are going to take the divisions here in milledgeville, broadly, reflect those of the whole of the usa bringing together people who feel as differently as floyd, griffin, and, and takes up on in their reviews, didn't do, is a major challenge. and they need to work together on the many problems in the country . and in the town. stephen hall was or has some ideas. he is the director of the local library and tells organize the initiative on the table brings people together to discuss local issues in a constructive way. the approach is low drama and encourages everyone to get involved. i think the biggest issue for us is what is america? we've had a lot of changes in the last couple years and a lot of the norms that we've had for better or for worse and gone away. and i

think we're looking at a future of what is our value, what are our ideas of how we should behave toward each other? and what is the common purpose that we have? i think we've lost a little track about and i'd love to see that come together in the future or that americans have to start listening to one another and stop shouting over each other or just returned from georgia. she is back in washington d.c. tonight. she joins me from our bureau there. good evening to you, ines. you know, i enjoyed watching your story and i wanted to ask you, did you get the impression that voters in georgia, are they fully aware of the weight of their votes in these 2 runoff elections? for the u.s. senate you know, political acts of people most definitely are in there has been a lot of voter outreach and voter registration programs,

especially actually from stacey average because that they hope that they can bring more voters out even after the 6 trini contentious election cycle and unfortunately when there is no president on the ballot, there's usually less voter turnout, but these are kind of the politically active people, the average people. they kind of tired of going out and vote. it doesn't seem very, democratic or fair for one state to decide the fate of the u.s., maybe even the biden presidency. how many times did voters in georgia tell you the political system needs changing? the, i mean, they have always been complaints about how the 2 party system is set up. i mean, if you are able to hold your own, the left to options and people to come play in about that a lot. even. so i mean right now in this very divided country,

those who are still strong trump supporters, they don't want any other party. they just want to be able to vote again for donald trump if you ask them. yeah, we know georgia which for joe biden in this year's election or voters in georgia. are they in love with joe biden? or do they love the fact that he has not done well drawn? that's a good question actually, and it's good to ask. the whole united states, i mean, we have to keep in mind at the end of the day, georgia is an incredibly red, conservative state. by all measures, there has been a mixture of pro biden and anti trump borders. i mean, i think what is really different this time is the democrats were able to get large turnout from democratic voters and new voters that's different from 4 years ago.

and it's not just about what can one. we know that it's also about democrats and republicans in the it's about this deep divide in the united states. how divided is the wider country at the moment? it is a very divided. i was able to travel the united states from one side to the other just before the election and we experienced that this country. and this also appears in the little piece we just saw, kind of has lost the ability to talk with each other to talk to discuss really complicated topics like abortion rights or gun restrictions or health care for everybody or the question, how much taxes people should pay but the problem here right now is that fact for many people don't really matter anymore. and that opens really the doors

to conspiracy theories. so yes, georgia is very divided. so is the whole united states here before we run out of time, which is the answer is if georgia returns to republican senators in this runoff election in january will. will that mean that the democrats will have to reach across the political aisle even more if they want to get anything done? absolutely, i mean, if the senate stays in favor of the republicans, which actually many expect to happen biden, very, most certainly have to reach out across the aisle, which actually he is able to do. that's kind of his political gift. but the real concern for him is how the liberal wing within his own party will then react. i mean, if, if he has to really reach out to conservatives,

he might see some serious, serious political fighting within the democratic party. you know? yes, we will see what happens in january. january will be the month when much is designed to in his poll our washington bureau chief in us, thank you. it was late on monday when us president elect joe biden finally received the go ahead to start the transition process, but biden, he's been preparing for weeks now. on tuesday he presented the people he plans to nominate for critical national security and foreign policy positions. is a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure. it's a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. not retreat from it. once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. in fact,

calls from world leaders and i've had about 18 to 20 so far. i'm not sure the exact number in the weeks since we won the election. i've been struck by how much they're looking forward to the united states, reassert its historic role as a global leader. well, joining me tonight from washington is karen de young. she is senior national security correspondent at the washington post here and it's good to have you on the day you coauthored a piece in today's post that caught our eyes. the headline reads, biden's nominees have pushed policies that trump used to fuel his rise. we have a dick, sir, i want to show our viewers here. you write that democrats are worried about biden's pick so far. how they tried to govern this time will be a major test of whether biden feels the need to respond to the anxieties among supporters of trump. whether he views his election as

a sweeping mandate to shift in an entirely different direction or whether he settles somewhere in the middle. who among biden's picks have triggered soul searching and worries among democrats. hello. well, it's good to be here. you know, it was interesting, bernie thing, anders who obviously represents the progressive party, put out a tweet today saying out where the progressives, in the cabinet, people that if it's a are, there are very, very traditional people who have all worked for biden or with biden, for many, many years. now these are only the people who, who are going to get in foreign policy and national security. i think what sanders and the progressive the party care much more about are the people who are generating our economic and, and financial think so it remains to be seen who but it's going to who by is going to pick all that. it looks a surgeon and he, you know,

i'm going to be the treasury secretary, probably have the federal reserve and i think that is not something that will make the progressive wing very happy. you know, that's true. we did see the dell go over 30000 points today. on news of yellen being the nominee, who would you, or who would be a good choice in your opinion, to send a signal to trump, voters that president elect biden is thinking of them too. well, i think that, you know, they have everything he said during the campaign other, i don't think many, many troops of course were listening at the point at that point. and certainly the president turned in his own campaign was sort of describing biden's platform in a way that wasn't necessarily completely true. i think that biden, you know, he said, look,

my 1st interests are solving the problem of the coronavirus, righting the economy. and i think that that's one thing that democrats have said whether they are moderates or progressives. have said, look, we learned from the last time we did let manufacturing jobs go overseas. we didn't pay enough attention to people in so-called, red states who are losing their jobs, who are unable to, to adapt to a service economy, to high tech and elite. so i think that that's something that he's going to be stressing. he did stress during the campaign, but again, i think that not many times push wasn't caring. you know, biden says that he wants to help heal the soul of america. he wants to end americans demonization of each other. i mean, when you hear words like that, i mean, you can't get much more centrist than that. can you? no, and i think he's serious about it. i mean he's, he,

if he feels like his task over the next 40 years is, is to unify america, which is, which is as your previous speaker was saying, you know, it's just extremely divided. and so i think that he does view that not only out in the country, but certainly in congress, you know, as, depending on what happens in the georgia runoff an hour in january, i think that he's either going to find himself faced with a, with a very very narrow majority or with no majority at all in the senate. and that's going to make it harder. he's hoping that he can use relationships that he built over many, many years in the senate itself. dealing with republicans to bridge has to bite him, essentially get something done. and he's also hoping that a lot of these republicans in congress and senate are people who were secretly not

very happy with trying but, and of were afraid to stand up against him. and that now that the election's over that perhaps they'll be more amenable. i'm not quite so sure how good a bet that is. but i think that's his intention. i said at the beginning of our program that joe biden seems to be the most bipartisan president that the united states has had in a long time. doesn't that mean that he is maybe, uniquely equipped and positioned to do to bridge this tremendous divide that exists in politics and in society? i don't think that that. i'm not sure that's a fair characterization. i think that if you look at certainly bill clinton, george bush, obama, they all started out saying, you know, when america unity, president of the americans. and i think that the,

the divided government where you, in many cases have had, have had a congress at least one house, if not to a different party than the president has made that kind of governing more and more difficult. certainly, i mean is in a better position than others to to make that happen because he served salam in the senate and because he was known as a kind of guy who would reach out in the senate. and he was certainly like that as a mom, as well as president. i mean that was one of the roles played was to reach out to, to the public into except for the beginning of a bomb as 1st term or in the majority of the senate. today's press conference with biden's picks, we were talking about in the newsroom. it was amazingly call not boisterous and even downright polite. i'm wondering for 4 years, americans and the world have been hooked on donald trump. and his style of politics

. we hear now from americans that they want the temperature in the bar, you turned down. do you believe them care? most of them want that. there are some who are not going to give up who are not going to turn the volume down, but i think by and large, people are exhausted. it's been a very tumultuous. 4 years. people are tired, people are tired of conflict then i think that's partly what, what biden is counting on. and that's why he hasn't been quite so fiery in a way that will generally be even more trump supporters. i mean, you can forget the fact that 73000000 people voted for donald trump. that's a lot of people. and many of them have been out of the streets. i think that these divisions are going to last for a while, but there's no question that you know, this sort of waking up 1st thing in the morning and see what crisis or disaster,

or conflict or contentious situation is going to dominate the day, or even have today because sometimes it turned over in the middle of the day, i think a large, there's a big relief and that will give biden some points at the beginning. not a whole lot. not for a long time. it'll give him a chance at least. karen de young, so you national security correspondent of the washington post there. we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you. you're welcome. thank you. largest airline quantas is suggesting that it could make a coronavirus vaccination, a requirement for all international air travelers. the flag carrier is the 1st major airline to suggest that such rules could become commonplace in the air travel industry of the news comes as the international air transport association is

announcing that it's developing a digital health pass that can be used to record in fruit coded 19 tests or back to the nation. this is what quantas c.e.o. alan joyce said about the vaccine require. it. we are looking at changing our terms of contentions to say for international travelers. at that, we will ask people to have a fax nation before they can get on the aircraft. and what do you need that domestically? we'll have to see what happens with copa 19 in the market, but certainly for international visitors coming out and people leaving the country . we think that's in the says city. and my colleague, dr. drew is we hear the big table at the sea. i'm not completely surprised by this . i mean, what's at stake here? i guess what's really at stake is the future of the airline industry itself. i think we're seeing the 1st signs of what we might all have to live with. if you want to get back on board the airplanes, the airline industry has lost over $100000000000.00 us dollars. so far this year,

as the australian carrier has lost $2000000000.00 u.s. dollars, they have laid off 8 and a half 1000 staff members already. they've grounded $200.00 airplanes, and of course this is the same across the industry. we've seen bankruptcy, virgin australia, brazil, fly. be in the u.k. . we've also norwegian air, which is on the brink, karen in europe. so the airlines are really doing whatever they can to make sure that they can get people back on the planes, but also for to assure that people feel safe once they had their eye on the body that oversees the airline industry. they are, as you said, introducing this digital health pass, which will keep all your testing and vaccine information. and as we've said, will require vaccinations for international travelers, the ones that become widely available, you know what's to become widely available. what's been the response from travelers to, well, this mounting social media campaign now to boycott. and it's not just coming from

the so-called anti vaccination movement that we've seen long before covert 19. we have a few tweets that we've been looking at. we have one from the british, the teac travel agency, they say we have made a company decision today to not sell any quantas flies even on a code share following their announcement of no vaccination, no flight. we've also got one from an australian columnist and t.v. contributor. she says that quantas could have gone with any number of options. rapid testing proof of negative test on flying, but it's attempting to force a medical decision on customers. i'm not anti vacs unvaccinated. i'm also vehemently anti corporate bullying under the guise of health . of course, other people are supporting this move. many people are saying that they would feel safer knowing that everyone on board their plane. i mean, it is an individual decision if you're, if you're vaccinated, then you know, you don't have to worry about catching it. what do you think this is going to mean

though, for all passengers moving forward? but i think of course, a lot of people are eager to get back onto those planes. we want to go visit our families. we want to go on holidays. it is some time away before a vaccine is rolled out in this jail. but there are questions that really needs to be on. if you know, people accept this, if this becomes the standard vaccine is not a new idea in many countries. for example, demand that you have a yellow fever vaccine if you visited a high risk areas for that. so if you look at the broader implications, the mind opening up a can of worms here. we already have government saying they will not demand vaccines from anyone. the german government that's wrong and has said that legally speaking, could a company start demanding vaccines?, that's of course depends on where you are in the world. in the u.s., for example, a company is allowed to demand from its employees, for example,

that they get vaccinated. ethical questions are really or also in center here, are we creating by doing this to tear society really where, where people with vaccinations have broader rights than those who are on tracks in the research that we've heard. the final word on this all the thank you. well, finally, it's not yet december, but after a year of walk downs and shutdowns for some christmas, cannot come soon enough. here in berlin, the city has turned on the christmas lights along the famous shopping boulevard. of the pandemic, the tradition took place this year with the usual ceremony in crowds stores, or of course quieter than usual. but shoppers who are out do not plan to let the pandemic. they say they're cheap.

well, the day is almost done. the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either at news or you can follow me at t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then of

we are all in this together. it was the slogan on social media back when the corona pandemic started around the world media since then, we become clear that the fools are suffering, the rich economic inequality in the congress. the to reinforce the term global principles of 90 minutes on t.w.

stories that people world over information. they provide the means they want to express g.w. on facebook and twitter, and up to date in touch. follow us a duel with words where i come from. we don't want a way from a call from station when i was 5 years old, my father took me to his friends and i was hooked on the spokes of a sports a few months old. and to see all sold fencing as a language, a good source for it is a conversation. must leak your opponent to understand best thinking knew of the men to get close, otherwise consecrates. it's not unlike

a tough interview really. when interviewing politicians or whole probes c.e.o.'s, you have to wait for the right moment. just to get around that defensiveness, then make you feel you have to take risks to get results. i've got alphas and i work at d, w. frankfurt international gateway to the best connection, self road and rail, located in the hot a few connected to our own with experience outstanding shopping and dining offers and trying our services. biala guest at frankfurt buy from

this is why i've been from berlin tonight. the transition of power as u.s. president elect joe biden announces his 1st crucial cabinet picks. it's a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. not retreat from joe biden is moving quickly to fill all he positions in his administration. now that donald trump has finally stopped blocking the transition, also coming up in germany, eyes a stricter lock down to head off christmas. regional leaders have reportedly

reached consensus on new measures aimed at slowing the surge in new cases of coated . 19 also coming up with activists showed g.w. news evidence that hungary is misusing pandemic relief funds. we'll take you to budapest to meet the critics fighting to call well corruption, at the highest levels. i'm burnt off. it's good to have you with us. america is strongest when it works with its allies. those were the words of u.s. president elect joe biden. today, as he introduced some of the people that he wants to be on his cabinet, the transition to a biden white house is picking up speed after president trump cleared the way for a transfer of power. joe biden says that his new team will lead by example.

it's a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure. it's a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. not retreat from it. once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. in fact, in calls from world leaders that i've ad about 18 to 20 so far, i'm not sure the exact number in the weeks since we won the election. i've been struck by how much they're looking forward to the united states. reassert its historic role as a global leader both in the pacific as well as in the and landing all across the world. biden went on to introduce his national security team underlining their decades of experience. he says, diplomacy and more time lateral lism are back as a part of u.s. foreign policy. former secretary of state john kerry will be taking

a new post as special envoy for the climate in for sizing biden's commitment to fighting global warming. kerry says the u.s. will be returning to the paris climate accord, but he added paris alone will not be enough. and the veteran diplomat, tony blinken, he has been nominated to be u.s. . secretary of state says that he will rebuild morale and trust in the state department where lincoln pledged to pursue cooperation around the world for america . all right, let's talk about some of these decisions now and go to washington and talk with our correspondents define simons. good evening to you is deaf and so the names and faces we saw today were familiar to most people. what do you make of that? you know, they are familiar because those people nominated by and picked by president elect joe biden are around. they're in the business for decades. most of them are means they come with a heavy lot of experience and with

a full roll of best of contexts. for example, lincoln, as you said, this man is known around the world in capitals around the world, in the foreign ministries around the world. because he has been deputy secretary of state in the obama administration, national security advisor in the obama administration. and so on the list, i could go the list on all those big see are people who are so to speak, the counter program to what we had or what many say we had under president donald trump and in his administration experience diversity and a vision to bring america back, wade wallace in terms of in terms of cooperation and diplomacy around the world is tony blinken, the designated secretary of state. he stressed today that america needs to serve with humility and confidence. take a listen to what he said, you know, because as the president elect said,

we can't solve all the world's problems alone. we need to be working with other countries. we need their cooperation. we need their partnership. but also confidence. because america, at its best, still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. step on, we know it is the man that biden wants to restore american foreign policy. what about american domestic policy? this cabinet is diverse, which biden promised it would be. is this the tool needed to unite a very divided country? well, the biden campaign, the democrats and their future president elect, definitely think so, and there's many out there would say this is the only way they keep this in mind. the context is that a lot of political observers, a lot of experts, a lot of people coming out all 4 years off donald trump and donald trump

administration policies. and those are borderline isolationists and america 1st. now having said that internally as well as externally, i don't think that that by administration will go not america 1st, but there is a, it's process. how do you, how do you put america and american interests as they should do as an american administration? how do you put those 1st, but don't be the elephant or the bully in the china shop? that is what biden tries to do here, internally, domestically, as well as with his picks for international policies. and we know that there's been, there's been good, you know, good reception to blink and as the does in the u.s. secretary of state, what about within the united states in terms of these cabinet picks? what's been the reaction depends on where you look at. i have a little example for you, of course, this progressive and democratic and of the of the,

of the party line says this is all wonderful internationally, that might be also the case. but a little example be a marco rubio, republican senator from florida. i quote, in a tweet, biden's cabinet speaks, went to the ivy league. schools have strong resumes, attend all the right conferences and will be polite and orderly characters, caretakers of america's decline. i support america, greatness and i have no interest in returning to the normal that left us dependent on china. there you go, mark rubio, republican senator, do not forget. there is a senate race going on in georgia, 2 senate seats. if democrats manage to win those, it doesn't really matter what mr. rubio thinks. if the republicans hold onto these seats, then they have the majority in the senate and they can make any nomination, any approval of any nominee? very, very difficult. that's why politicians say a lot. what motivates them to say a lot is usually the real story. stefan's,

i'm is in washington tonight. jeff and thank you. well, here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines this hour. international donor countries at the conference in geneva, have pledged more than 10000000000 euros in aid for afghanistan. the money will be delivered over the next 4 years, but will be partly conditional on progress made on human rights and peace talks with the taliban. the u.n. has expressed concern over the safety of civilians in ethiopia's t growing region as thousands continue to flee the area after 3 weeks of deadly fighting. the ethiopian military and forces have both claim to advance as in the past day. it's not yet been possible to verify either side's claim. france is relaxing its coronavirus restrictions following a drop in new infections. president emanuel says shops, movie, theaters, and museums will gradually reopen and that families will be allowed to observe christmas together. but large gatherings of people that will remain

well, the leaders of germany's 16 states have reportedly agreed on a new coronavirus measures that will take effect in december and go into next year . and it comes after german chancellor angela merkel met with resistance last week in her bid to toss in some aspects of the country's partial lockdown. now these new measures in clute, extending germany's current shutdown targeting hotels, restaurants and gems tight restrictions on socializing will also remain in place. exceptions will be made. however, for christmas celebrations, the pressure is on for the german government to ease restrictions for the most important time of the year. for many christmas celebrations. right, no balance, john diamond market square would usually be packed with people and show you the christmas market. it's been canceled. people will be allowed to gather at home for christmas, but in smaller groups,

stephen many accept the reality this year is different. there's going to be naturally some of the position it's nationally to happen, but it is what it is. you know, it's, there's no policy that's ever going to be 100 percent approved by the people. i think, i mean, i don't understand why restriction would be nice for christmas. perhaps one should stick to them. but i also see what happens with people when they are lonely and happy. so i can't say much about it, but i just talk about it because i also see how it is in hospitals. that's where i work. all. yes, it's sad not to celebrate christmas as usual, but how else the measures taken are important and necessary? and does always skype, so is c. the decision on christmas is expected to become found wednesday, following talks between state premiers and chancellor. i'm going to america. the overall situation remains critical. as far as soon as you have high expectations as

a parliamentary group, and to now we have begun to see a short trend of law. if you get in terms of inspections, which means the exponential growth could be stopped. but that's not enough. we need large figures, especially for christmas. christmas isn't the only separation that's on the line. many say that the much loved tradition of new year's eve, fireworks needs to be reigned in. but a nationwide ban on fireworks sales does not appear to be on the cards. well, here in the european union, hungary and poland are refusing to approve the use 2 trillion dollar budget, which includes pandemic relief. and they object to a plan that would tie those funds to a commitment and respect for the rule of law. some in hungary are alleging that prime minister, viktor orban. government is rife with corruption when it comes to pandemic fund spending. they fear that by criticizing him, they could be so i'm just thrilled about the latest news

in 3 minutes. clip radio is a popular station in budapest and one of only a few media outlets that are critical of the government. but their license expires in 3 months. and the authorities have so far refused to extend it to the vast majority of the hungary and media slave, usually follow the was of the government as for a lot of hungary. and it's the only side of the argument that they hear clop. radio does not communicate like this. we are so to speak, an obstacle to the complete domination of the hungary in mind. they called us and their voices seem to be needed now more than ever with the coronavirus pandemic raging through the country. hungry as prime minister, viktor orban, is using the crisis to seize more power. his critics say, daniel works for the hungry and civil liberties union. the n.-g. o. recently published a report showing how they're condemning,

has led to more corruption in the country. one example is to purchase a ventilator by the foreign ministry. ventilators were purchased in huge quantities and significantly overpriced. only some of them are likely to be used in intensive care and protection against the epidemic. and that's another concern on top of the fact that they were wired at an inflated price. the strain that it was, or you're on to some of this man's mission is to uncover corruption at the highest level and to call it out. because what has he is an independent member of the hunger in parliament. he tells me that obama's government is plagued by corruption and that it's high time for the you to take action volumnia more door and somehow this has to be resolved. the government cannot continue to steal or spend your funds uncontrolled. all one uses this money to pay his people. this is how he maintains this fraudulent system. but the victor all bundled flex and criticism

and is challenging the u.s. plans to tie funding to respect for the rule of law. we wanted to speak about this with his spokesperson, but he canceled the interview at short notice. the hungary and government accuses brussels of trying to think should it for political reasons. but the country's civil society and the opposition, hopefully you to stand its ground. they fear backing down now would embolden big to oban and encourage other populists in the year out. the journalists at club radio hoping for international support, and they are determined to continue their work, if necessary, by streaming their shows via the internet. that however, would mean a much smaller audience. so are his reminder, the top story we're following for you. u.s. president elect joe biden has unveiled his foreign policy and national security team. speaking in his home state of delaware, barden declared quote,

america is back and he said that his team will recommit themselves, diplomacy and multilateral. if you're watching the w. new business is coming up. next with more about janet yellen, the former said boss, the woman that u.s. president elect wants to be the next u.s. treasury secretary i'm not nothing, but i guess sometimes i am, but i stand nothing with that. thinks deep into the german culture of new jersey who take this ground on east coast. it's all about no time. rachel joins me from egypt on t.l.c. .
