the me see docs november 9th. the . this is dw news live from berlin. us president joe biden promises a peaceful transfer of power to donald trump. said many times you can love your country. only when you, when it was by his 1st address since connell of harrison's defeat to donald trump find urging the nation to come together after a polarizing election. also on our show, german chancellor, olaf schultz fires, is finance minister and promises a confidence vote in parliament after christmas. but the main opposition party demands elections asap saying there's no reason to wait the

obviously even there is the invalid. welcome to our program. us president joe biden has spoken to the nation for the 1st time since donald trump was declared the winner of the presidential election by dang, collection workers across the country for ensuring the vote was fair and transparent. he praise on vice president complet harris for her campaign, and she promised a peaceful transfer of power to the next administration. in january. yesterday, i spoke of present electronic graduated amount, his 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

a shredded aspirant campaign and everyone got to see something that i learned early on to respect so much her 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 ethan betterment as a political commentator and law professor based in los angeles. i asked him earlier about jo biden's responsibility in this bid or loss for the democratic ticket. well, that's interesting question stephen, i'm really his responsibility goes back to allowing his team to hide what was really going on at the end before he was kind of pushed out of running for re election. that's his responsibility. but i don't think it's anything more than that . and, and on the harris campaign side, i don't know that there's a tremendous amount that we can point out that she did wrong either. look, present finding has least objectively looking at the information did

a tremendous job in his for years as president. and he was handing that off to vice president harris. but the amount of this information in misinformation that now lives due to the open nature of the internet and foreign and domestic interference campaigns seem to be over powering facts and objectivity. let's assume that democrats had a kind of primary after the mid terms for someone to replace joe biden, for this campaign. would com, la harris have one that primary that is that's, that's an interesting question. we're about to find out as we had towards 2028. i mean, i look at people like california governor gavin newsome is being probably the strongest candidate. you're gonna see a bunch of other people throw their hats in the ring and she'll have to compete in an open primary. she might win it and she might not, but looking backwards,

it is really hard to know. usually a sitting vice president does have the upper hand. you said the harris didn't really do anything wrong in her campaign. is it possible that she spent too much time warning about dangers to democracy, which apparently many voters cared about less than the dangers to their pocket book . yeah, no, that that's exactly right. if there's a mistake, it's the common one that democrats have been making and recent years, which is the high idealism, which is just simply not what the average person thinks about the average person things about how do i pay the bills? how do i put the food on the table and how do i get health care unit country that still, and especially under the, the, the soon to be new presidency really does not help the average person out to take care of their daily lives. yes. hi minded ideals are or wonderful. we're talking heads and for people, for uncomfortable positions that are,

are simply not within reach for the average person who, who just needs to live their life. we know that donald trump is beginning to put his transition team together. is future cabinet. perhaps he's just named his campaign manager. since he whiles his chief of staff, what do you see from this coming administration? will it be and administration of trump? loyalists more so than we saw in 2016, which we had some, some more, more mainstream political figures. some of them called the adults in the room. will this administration differ? yes, dramatically. and that is the fundamental difference. why i think some people are more concerned in 2024 than 2020 twitter. excuse me. then 2016. you had paul ryan, who was a classic conservative republican in charge of the house of representatives. we had people like senator john mccain still and united states senate. they've been

basically voted out those types of republicans, they pretty much don't exist anymore in the legislative branch representing the republican party. and trump himself won't be putting people like general matters in general kelly and general milly in charge. it will be people who have essentially sworn royalty to donald trump. and i think that that's a very dangerous position for this country to be in your law professor in just a few weeks. donald trump is due to be sentenced in a new york court room after his conviction. in a hush, one case, what you see happening at that appearance ends with trumps other legal cases. will they just disappear? yes, the federal cases will literally do that just disappear because he will order his new attorney general to drop those cases. and as result, you're seeing the department of justice now already starting to take action to wind down those cases worst one day. i think you were referencing the new york case.

they were donald trump was found guilty of $34.00 felonies. were not even gonna wait until the end of november. there was a hearing on november 12th by just is uh, sometimes referred to as judge. murph sean. and he is going to consider that the community ruling from the united states supreme court. and the fact that donald trump was just re elected president, may just entirely in this case now, and that hearing is on november 12th, the president, trump will not be held accountable. it looks like for anything that was happening legally over the last 4 years. right? a lot to watch in the coming days as we select the consequences of the election. that's environment in los angeles. thank you. thank steven. appreciate it. european leaders meeting in hungary are assessing the fall off from donald trump's election victory, and it's likely impact on the war and ukraine. trump, who claims a good relationship with russia is vladimir putin has said that he'll quickly in

the conflict if elected, though it's unclear exactly how ukraine is warning that any concessions to moscow would be unacceptable. leaders from around 50 nations, arrived in budapest for the top level talks while europe's future was the focus off . the shocks from the us selection was impossible to ignore many fee of what donald trump's re election will mean for ukraine's defense fund. the summits host hunger is prime minister victor open is a close ally of trump, and both means have cold for a ceasefire. medical, you follow structural color, the american elections closed a chapter all be lag maxwell. the world will change your change fast. so then we think lodge, while they're a big, huge questions on the table, a well old piece hobbled away,

big migration or protection, we got to it wouldn't be that i'm splitting into blocks or connectivity connectivity, task subordination, or european sovereignty. the places that i need, gosh, ukraine, and many european allies, fear a ceasefire, means peace on russia's terms. president below them is zalinski rejected calls for compromise, saying would be unacceptable for ukraine and for all of europe. i spoke with president trump as many of you did and it was productive conversation. good conversation. of course we cannot do, you know what his extra cost will be, but we do all of that america will become stronger. and this is the kind of america that your needs and just thrown your is what american needs to my mind. this is the connection between elyse that must be valued and cannot be lost or to gaining from

support could be key for the next chapter of ukraine's war, speaking as an event and the russian resorts of sochi, president vladimir putin also praised the president elected to that was a solution i'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election as you, as president. i've already said that will work with any head of state that the american people have given the mandate to take on. this will indeed be the case in practice . back in budapest, european lead and say there to tim and to maintain strong transatlantic ties. but after trumps re election, the role so stressing that needs to be self reliant, defense, and security. let's have a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the electricity is being restored to parts of cuba. after hurricane raphael knocked out the islands power grid. it was the 2nd nationwide blackout in
