the, the, this is the, the news alive from bell in us president joe biden promises a peaceful transfer of parts and his 1st address since the us presidential election . i've said many times you can love your country only when you with fighting or just the nation to have come together after a polarizing campaign and stang selection was full, ensuring a vote that was on as fast as transparent also coming off global security on the agenda as donald trump pretty fast for a 2nd term of the white house, the president elect has vowed to end the was in ukraine in the middle east. but

just how he plans to do that remains unclear. lots of political storm in germany as the governing coalition collapses, it's on. so what i've shown as far as the coalition problem and problem is, has a confidence vote in problem and off the christmas. but the leader position, positive bonds elections as soon as possible, saying there's no reason to wait the, i'm good. how those as well come to the program. us president joe biden has made his 1st address to the nation since donald trump was declared the winner of wednesdays. presidential election biden fund collection workers across the country for ensuring the vote was fair and transparent. he praise on the vice president cala harris for campaign, and promised

a peaceful transfer of power to the next step ministration. in january. yesterday i spoke with present electronic to graduate and minus victory, and i assured him direct my entire administration worker his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition that's with the american people deserve. yesterday i also spoke of vice president harris. she's been a partner. and the public service, shred it aspire and campaign, and everyone got to see something that i learned early on to respect so much for character. she has a backbone, like a ramrod, she has great character, true character. she gave her whole heart effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran to by the let's now bring into w a washington bureau chief and his pull in his his address, assigned it conciliatory and a tone. what's your take away from by this address?

it's kinda hard. it was really kind of of course the peaceful transition of power, but also the integrity of the voting process. you know, god the, what the donald trump did over the last months he tried to undermine the trust of the american people in the american system. some saw that besides, he wanted to kind of prepare his claim in case he loses that the system is rick to didn't lucy one. but that is the john. so bite and took by saying i accept the outcome of this election also because our system is a working and that is long term, a very, very important message to the american people to not to kind of stalled undermining a democracy here in the united states. and let's turn to donald trump, do we know when he will begin the process of choosing

a cabinet and selecting other high ranking administration officials? it's interesting, he already missed some uh, kind of deadlines. what do you normally do when you run for uh for, for the presidency? because you know, this is this whole transition. so georgian complicated a process, so we shall see what the impact that we'll have about. yes, there already name. so therefore, major position one name, which might be know not only germany of buttons, europe is richard cornell, the former, and best of the to germany. he could become the next secretary of state. this is like one very prominent name, but there will be more names coming out and i assume by the beginning of the next week midst of next week, we will learn a little bit more about the names and the candidates which are out there. dw washington bureau chief in his folder. thank you very much. this

donald trump will return to the us presidency at a time of widespread conflict and uncertainty in the world from ukraine to the middle east and the asia pacific. he has vowed to fix it all. let's look a waltz on his plate, and donald trump has declared he'll in the conflicts raging around the world. his decisions will reset battlefields and board is they said he will start a war. i'm not going to started. want me to stop pours on, you cranes, front lines. soldiers depend on american weapons. key of has received the 10s of billions of dollars in usaid and weaponry. but trump says he thinks washington is paying too much. one of the things that are very bothersome to me is the fact that europe is paying only a small fraction of the money that the united states of america is bang. ukrainian president followed him, use a lensky sort candidate, trump support for his victory plan, but was told to expect

a negotiated solution. so we have a very good relationship. and i also have a very good relationship as you know, with president. and i think we went to get it resolved, or vice president of like j events wants to cost a to kias onto his proposed piece deal. ukraine would give up the territory to most go and a band, and it's nato ambitions. but we're going to take care of israel and they know that in the middle east, the trumpet signals, strong, ongoing support, phase riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and he's war against him. us in gaza. in a campaign debate, trump said the us should let him finish the job. it is lost to him. he please nothing yahoo by moving the us embassy to jerusalem and recognizing its annexation of the disputing, golden heights now is legal is rarely settlers in the west bank hoping for a similar suppose. israel is also expected to seek trump's backing forward,

increased pressure on either on i mean, the fact is i've done more for israel by far than any of the presidents. not even close been tie one fears, a brewing of a trump's refusal to commit to defend the island against a possible chinese invasion. in an interview, he said taiwan should pay us for defense. tie one doesn't give us anything. but we're trying to stepping up its military exercises around, ty, one trump, is pointed to economic rather than military tactics. telling china if you going to tie one, i'm going to text you. trump has already singled a trade war with china, threatening to impose terrace of 60 percent on all its goods. he says chinese president, seizing pink, won't do anything provocative, because he thinks trump is crazy. but even washington, his allies are now wondering how trump will react in a world of un result. conflicts within the studio now is the w is a man,

is safe. he's been following the selections for us. and he's also reported from israel, from lebanon, and from ukraine. so you are really in tune with all these stories. now, how did trump sell himself to vote just as the piece candidate? he said over and over and j events also echoed this that know for an was started under his watch who was president from 2016 to 20. 20. it's unclear if he's talking well, he's talking about both of the us starting wars and wars that started under his watch. what he's really tapping into here is this unpopular, this deep unpopularity in the us for, for, and conflicts. the probably started with the unpopular war. any rack in 2000, but starting 2003. it didn't become on popular until quite a bit later. but looking back on it, a lot of americans regret that decision. moved on into the obama years when the war in serious started under his watch. he didn't start that were, but that was

a very bloody war, but there was also conflicts the drawers that uh obama did pursue in afghanistan and pakistan. you also had the assassination or the killing of a us investor in libya during the civil war there. and then under bite, and you had 2 major, a conflicts break out on a him, the russian invasion of ukraine and the october 7th terror attack by almost that triggered a larger war in gauze of that's killed, 40000 palestinians. so trump is tapping into this, this kind of idea that the us is responsible in some parts for those wars abroad, and that he will stop them and that he never started any himself. and now it would us to listen briefly and to ben hodges. he was of the commanding general of the us army in europe is now retired. he's been a strong advocate of support of ukraine and he told d w that he's worried about what another trump presidency could bring. let's have a quick lesson. if ukraine fails,

it will lead because the united states in germany turn their back on ukraine. and then you're going to see millions of ukrainian or it's just coming to germany. you're going to see continued disruption of food and an energy supplies. and you're gonna see the 10s of thousands of ukrainian soldiers absorbed into the russian army so that, so there's no positive outcome to any kind of negotiated settlement or to the united states. turning this back. busy this is going to be a real test for, for your been hodges that and that he pays it a pretty bleak picture. that was on the able thoughts. he's talking about a worst case scenario. so hodges, of like a lot of european and american supporters of ukraine, believe that anything short of victory for ukraine would in the long term mean that ukraine would lose its country to russian aggression. that is the most pessimistic

take. but you can start to see, even in europe, people like you in stoughton burg, very recently said he would be open to the idea of a negotiated settlement between ukraine and russia, at least temporarily to open up the possibility of securing western ukraine for nato membership or for some other security guarantees, you can also see in the ukraine a lot of ukrainians are moving toward the idea that the work and only end with a negotiated settlement. a recent polls have showed that somewhere between 30 and 44 percent of ukrainians believe that's how the war is going to end. the majority still believe that they need to fight to ring all of their territory. so that idea that a, a peace deal is the way out of this war, is becoming more popular, especially for exhausted soldiers to want maybe even just a break in the fight. so they can see their families again. but the idea that trump is going to come in and get a good deal for you create a lot of people don't believe that because he hasn't been clear on the details. he said he could end it in 24 hours. such a complicated global situation. and what hodges, i'm saying is that he's worried,

the trump will pull the rug out of your crane and try to get a deal without getting any security guarantees for your credit. so we have to see whether the will is there to negotiate. i don't know if a lot of people believe that trump is the person to do it. i mean, honestly, is that thank you very much for sharing your insights with us. i am back here in germany. the government, the governing coalition has collapse sense. johnson will have shots as cold for votes of confidence in the mid january shots of the social democratic party dismissed as finance minister facility who leads to business friends, the free democrats. the 2 formed part of the country's 3 policy correlation together with the green party. the confidence vote will likely trigger a new problem into elections by the end of march. it's a political or quick that's been threatening for months. now, all of schultz has had enough of the fighting to of type one. this minister to many

times did finance minister letting a block clause get relevancy to off topic to many times to be added to surface gland data and body 2 of the type of so many times if you break by trust with thought, germany's 3 way call ition government is over unable to compromise with the ideological differences. schultz will call a vote of confidence in himself in january. so couldn't even do that as this will allow the members of the buddhist dog to decide whether they want to be the we for or the elections these of on these elections. but then basically is by the end of march at the latest that's for the subject. of the deadlines stipulated in the basic law. this is the mon schultz sacked christian letter from the free democrats accused shouts of recklessness in the face of economic crisis. so i'm good now is so carefully prepared. statement from tonight proves that charlotte was no longer aiming for an agreement sustainable for everyone see, but rather a calculated rake of this collision. i'm kind of quickly up with this. he is

needing germany into a phase of uncertainty, outdoor funding on the falls, and that one is the chart. when the knights of high drama, it was the 3rd wheel and this complicated relationship, the greens, who sounded a regretful tone and one of the collateral damage is going on. so we also want to say that there was no need for the night to end this week. don't, didn't house, it was not possible just for the budget code, even though that was a nuisance on the table, is often 2 different solutions. what on the table and the biggest, probably would have been to get for the supporting korean cuz that wouldn't be the right answer at the beginning of the day in response to the election of donor trump getting this tigris off device and on it's trying to give you needless to say, the mood among the opposition center, right? christian democrats this morning. jovial on the prospect by minority government, unacceptable. they want you elections as soon as possible is give you all kinds.

absolutely no reason. so i wait until january of next year and to hold a vote of confidence. the coalition no longer has a majority in the german 3 and just um it via and so the c u. s. c, a c on harlem entry, google. excuse me, unanimously. demand sucks for it is the chancellor call for a vote of confidence for accounts. you don't need to stay in status and by the beginning of next week at the latest the aftershocks are not over more talks a plan that we ahead on clear. but in the end, it will be schultz as decision about sort of shows has held a closed door meeting with the opposition leader frivolous mat. so the 2 politicians disagree about the timing of likely snap elections matches the need of germany's central ride christian democrats. and he has rejected shows this plan and has called for an immediate snow confidence vote in parliament and new elections shots .
