just rude to. me. this is the time to be here in america. to full anxious days of weight joe biden claims victory to become the 46th u.s. president as projections in the photo taken to world threshold. twists and tons i had was a defiant donald trump bronze the election fraudulent 2 republican counterparts also launched an all suits over a late surge and it's a fighter and. by trump's rejection of the results his supporters rally look across america to

montana a recount. live from let's go to the well this is alex international welcome to the program my name's. well let's jump in off to a tense an often acrimonious wait joe biden is on course to become the 46th president of the united states but donald trump is adamant that the election was rigged to writing little suits in the coming week america who spends one breaks down how this came to be. joe biden has officially become the president elect for the united states it was saturday when that announcement was made by a number of media organizations after biden secured more than 270 electoral votes enough to put him over the top he spoke in wilmington delaware tonight alongside

the 1st vice president of the united states come all the harris' 1st woman ever to ascend to the position of vice president here's what harry had to say in introducing the new president bay have elected a president who represents the best and. a leader the world will respect and our children will look up to a commander in chief will respect our troops and keep our country safe and a president on american the new president elect biden took to the states and i talked about the need for the nation to heal to come together and to be ready to move into a new chapter. joe biden becomes the oldest person ever to be elected president of the united states 5 days after voting 1st closed here's some of what biden had to say the people of this nation have spoken. they've delivered

a clear victory a convention victory a victory. for we the people we've won with the most groups ever cast of presidential ticket and the history of the nation 74 years. now obviously this call doesn't come without controversy as i said a number of media organizations made this call but it doesn't officially become official until the vote is certified across the united states in 50 different states and that won't happen over the course of a number of days in the meantime on monday the trump campaign continues to push against this and will file a number of lawsuits in court including in michigan in pennsylvania. in arizona in the that in all of those states the president's team is claiming there has been rampant and widespread voter fraud in the fraud to actually overturn the election here's what the president had to say tonight we all know why joe biden is rushing

to falsely pose as the winner and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they don't want your truth to be exposed the simple fact is this election is far from over now to be clear it's very difficult to have enough of these cases to be able to actually overturn the results of an election because it's more than just being able to prove fraud you would also have to be able to prove that there was enough fraud to actually change the outcome of the election and how far does it go does it go all the way to the u.s. supreme court in each one of these individual states that remains to be seen but in the meantime it seems that president trump is not yet conceding the race to president elect biden we should also mention that as these cases go forward there is some precedent for this back in the year 2000 when al gore and george w. bush ran against each other there was only one state that was ultimately contested that was the state of florida that race went on for 37 days while the new ballots were counted it remains to be seen how long this race could continue with all of

these different court challenges across the nation and been swung. moments off to some outlets paced by tonight neophyte office crowds all of his supporters erupted in celebration flooding donald trump's home state of new york tens of thousands stupid and he took to the streets elsewhere in the country to from massachusetts on these cases to washington state and the west supporters of trouble so i came out in force claiming the election was a fraud and demanding a recount crowds gathered in florida where the incumbent usually prevailed and even california widely viewed as a democrat pot stronghold. while this right is a pet peaceful and none saying michigan things turned ugly when the 2 opposing sides met. scuffles broke out involving groups of people many of whom were armed more than 500

top supporters that gathered wearing my hats and chanting slogans like 4 years. of joint you know neal here in studio to discuss the current atmosphere stateside. hoffa nation whatever the result in the end of the day would wake up disappointed when they read the news on the social media and that's reflected by the protests we've seen over the streets across many cities of america both pro trumpet and celebrating baden's victory and also reflected in the polling numbers though don't forget that although biden won the majority of electoral college votes the popular vote was much closer around $75000000.00 for boyd to 71000000 for trumbo thread yeah indeed the highest amount for any president and the 2nd highest amount for 4 trumps so this was not a landslide victory as you quite rightly said a blue wave of democrat senators and congressmen as well also failed to materialise for the democrats

a boy i didn't know remains optimistic and was adamant that he was a president that can unite these divisions this was what he had to say i pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. who doesn't see red states and blue states always sees the united states the bible tells us to everything there is a season a time to go try to repeat it time to serve and a time to hear oh this is the time get here on america. the deuce on the gold the right words here are the time when division is right but it's a tough task. it is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority republican senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take place take the seats. their clear consensus which people were hoping for which the poll numbers were open for hasn't materialized the has materialized is the scale of polarization in u.s.

domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides trump exposed them 4 years ago in the 26th election and this election as they very much haven't gone away and ironically as you said all the words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for many american listeners because we've heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent president donald trump now it's time for america to find a division have to get again. republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one united people coming together of course is a particularly tough task given factors we should beyond bottle drops all job on to control the coronavirus pandemic how to handle that one key issue which the election was very hotly for to which continues to polarize economic policy tax policy america's image abroad america's foreign policy these are all issues which

do divide americans and which will continue to pose a challenge for this presidency. campaign of course claims that the media in particular has been stoking these for many years and he believes that the only way he can get justice team trump can get justice is in the courts yeah absolutely i mean there's been a whole. host of allegations from trump's campaign. they say that a lot of the votes haven't been officially counted officially certified especially in those key swing states which have been making headlines over the last few days. trump's supporters claim that observers were as you can not allowed into the stations to properly monitor the counting process. of diseased voters were counted in favor of by a lot of these already have been. bunked by officials but nevertheless he is taking legal action litigation in many of those key states that's going to head off into next year. i mean in one way who can blame them because again going back to 4 years

ago to the 26th election the democrats there were also quite sore losers i mean hillary clinton was adamant that the election was stolen from the that's exactly the right words and that resulted in 4 years of nearly 4 years of investigations and millions of taxpayers' dollars seeking to find that link between trump and russia proving that collusion not of course resulted in no evidence of such thing at all now ironically we see a complete role reversal here with the republicans with trump claiming the election was stolen from them and trumps presidency of course would of battle hardened him and sought him out to fight these battles because of these allegations over the last few years. as we said remains optimistic that the u.s. in terms of how this election was conducted can very much show the world how it's done tonight the whole world is watching america and i believe that our brand america is a beacon for that bro we're not only we will lead not only by the example of our

power but by the power of our example most of the world which has been watching this election closely world leaders which expressed a lot of concern over the last few days of a constitutional crisis seeking to cobble sides looking at the protests the litigation the court battles which are due to go in world certainly until the end of this year probably well into next year as well they'll be looking at this and. thinking this is a slightly different picture than the one is by presenting. during his 4 years in the white house donald trump received unprecedented scrutiny from the u.s. establishment and mass media with tell me been able to hand the most dangerous president here's our senior correspondent laura i got to have. however it ends the election trump will go down in history his vows to drain the swamp build the wall and make america great again they'll remember him what they'll write about him will

depend on the book the author the perspective if they love him or hate it if you eat the greatest failure in the history of the united states you are a senator and the worst with resumes america has ever had. the worst and most dangerous president where are you in 2017 when we had the worst president i would even argue that he is the worst worst president in american history he's the worst president the country's ever had 4 years of trump was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents fought it was a time when grown ups behaved like children in the white house and congress in the streets todd when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed on and focused entirely on everything that they despised about one another. the $252.00 congressional votes under trump's presidency $104.00 resulted in

disputes and clashes some of the initiatives that congress voted on would to block trumps initiatives they voted to prevent votes on things that trump wanted and we're not talking here about things like the wall or deporting illegal migrants we're talking about politicians who supported trump's ideas like pulling out of the iran nuclear deal when he was a businessman suddenly reversing their positions when he became president seemingly out of spite i believe iran will not change and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions well ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power at this time and this place for so many reasons pulling out precipitously without our allies involved does not achieve any of the goals we need to achieve and hurts americans in different ways but politics is politics right they fought under obama too if

a little less nothing new about the media then specifically them losing their mobs and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window. digging up tax records or leaking calls or even investigating trump's foreign ties it's journalism that's what journalists do it's normal know what they outdid themselves on is out right and somewhat petty smear campaigns about how awful trump is for drinking too much diet coke about how much of a cheat trump is that golf about how bad he is at it about how his own wife doesn't want to hold his hand all cheap all dirty and for trump easy to dismiss you are shake do is we are fighting the fake to use people in your profession that great fake news you do. and the prison into your fake is the net result has been

a collapse of trust in the media the news it isn't news when the publication has an evident interest in maligning someone. never in living memory has the establishment tried to sink a president elected by the american people from before he took office with sabotage with leaks with set ups they did everything to make people believe in the trump russia collusion sham the kumi investigation the steel dossier about prostitutes and you're a nation the mule report all to make impeachment possible the impeachment of the president of the united states impeachable conduct impeachment nonetheless we should begin proceedings to impeach the president move forward with impeachment and this president this partners on impeachment this impeachment process cost a reported $11000000.00 trying to impeach trump $32000000.00 for the mueller report

countless man hours wasted and they couldn't pull it off at the end of the day trump will be remembered if differently he was a tyrannical megalomaniac a man who drank too much. who sucks at gulf and whose hands even his own wife didn't want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who rules to drain the swamp that is washington and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future that agree on only one thing it was a loan and savage fight you watch out international will have much more on the us election now the rest of the globe is reacting to that one about after this short break.

that's geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert music as quite easily. to keep in mind no assets into place and. for. anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we are problems are over simply not true the problems were there before president trump they're not going away you have grounds for the economy in the long room you're going to have huge pay for the things you're going to do there we still have a problem in the united states with racism we have too many young are going to.

jail for grown possessions or so those problems are bigger or. simply a what you can do rose not does not. welcome back well international reaction has been rapidly coming into joe biden's projected victory israel's prime minister welcome biden thing while thanking donald

trump for helping seal what he called historic peace accords such as the normalization of ties with the united arab emirates benjamin netanyahu called both politicians his great friends while in the u. e.u. he does have generally expressed optimism about the new face set to take charge of the oval office. congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the united states and to come out of a harris on historic achievement the u.s. is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from climate change to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and come on harris we have a lot to do to overcome today's challenges let's work together i look forward to future cooperation with president biden our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we are to master of the great challenges of our time. well let's now bring in tommy's former state secretary to the defense minister willie

where ma good to have you on the program well 1st of all we're hearing how biden's promise to heal we hair and those huge optimism about him probably taking over from the oval office it's assumed that biden will kind of heal cracks in especially the transatlantic relationship do you think that that is the direction his presidency will take. it is. as uncertain as a sort of happen it is a no and it's quite unusual if far all of the economists who know all that there is out of an election as announced by the new with agency alone used to we're used to have elections than all our candidates would spend on clothes or city but we have elections coming to us who are not also those ideas and services has not been banned yet in the united states and they're fighting who we should be very very careful because. of it or they shouldn't because not only that on the other

hand we're here for msi acting for us further than dr tom this he is going to call it in many federal of states of united states the us to counting votes and therefore it isn't in my opinion unbelievable and the situation and it is a bit too early to or i'm undertake to relations when it comes to all the future of going to see of the united states as in we should should remember are the elections in 2016 consul was elected because of sleaze things the and never going to didn't like war and your own well they were upset because of thousands of said boys and girls it's that people who own foreign balls the 2nd reason was the economical basis of you not to see was collapsing as infrastructure as virt

there's a certain reason the edison let dick. few groups were going to move this was at least. not conceived of save as a christian it is very well. see it is strong enough to know. who. seem. to do souls and 16 and. 16. going to war and. everywhere. saying we have the middle east member of. seeing the form of difference if you want your guns up. this it.

was you know the. front group this was the be the peter the again is there one saying there is a lot of these articles in the official release and when it comes to you all i can see that your speaking from germany let's just say i do agree that opus see that has been a lot of screeching about the role of media and how it actually isn't up to the media to call elections often elections are decided in court but let's say that joe biden does become president. the german foreign minister mass foreign minister suggested that the damage had already been done under the trump administrator we know that there have been a lot of conflicts especially over nato spending do you agree with thought or do you think there is a way to rebuild the relationship no not as long as you know. doesn't

. if you're not. doable. i walked in and the wide street he looked was then the democratic party who in the ninety's ordered the charter of the united nations that shot the officer neither nation is going to evaluate all scoring against offer advice and what didn't need to and are under the leadership of its united states we just saw it was now we're up in the presidency of oil was a bit unfair a lot joe biden was fighting for them and he would say it was in absolute accordance to all bottom of the own wallets and the waltons of middle east governors in a fall there is a good sounds that joe biden continuous to see we as a democratic partly due to in the ninety's and president obama did it

10 years or 5 years ago and therefore as long as we don't please turn to chop off united nations. these last ridden go on and it's a tragedy for you all yes i'm a drone the tension before you all is i know president tom we could have had if a our conversation with us infidelity this mausoleums and why the this point him as a faucet means and why i'm going to. drop the whole lot and i thought force us not to hear if it's likely going to see a different between tonight at sea and such an unfit ovation and therefore it should be good because of that in my opinion we're 3 very brilliant beautiful. now one point that we have seen the u.s. and germany have disagreed over in the past couple of years is of course the north

stream to gas pipeline do you think that biden is going to continue to really protect america's energy grip sort of wild to many a lot of people say in the same way or do you think he's going to be less ruthless about that donald trump has been. rerouted soon to a warmer. oh on drugs or service. or c. is made in berlin germany. also in brussels and if you look it is up to them to decide about on on or not since the brothers in 04 are saying we have to be careful. it's not washington's over. to tell us where we get all of this and the only form we have since 150 years. we gunderson towards excellent economical illusions to want to rush hour winds

through a pretty forgettable answers and we're better our economic relations tools a lesson for the asian then to other countries which are today in all our lives we have ever seen it all into consideration and therefore one of foreign minister service it's up to whom is sort of your 1000000000 or so german workers and finally i want to ask you what kind of legacy has donald trump left behind in the e.u. what would you say as his biggest achievements and his other failures when it comes to the relationship with the bloc here are full and are still living for as a nation state and he was not on the trail of food bloggers so a longer list group is for the democratic structure of your we can already see you . don't big tools obama and clinton governments and

come has been seeing in sort of more the nation state and democracy when it comes to war so a lot of or seeds and delphi are seeing we never should forget about his efforts to sing in france germany or russia of hers yes and then we started to go there for time for someone to bring us back to the halls and to the not obama and former drones not by him well certainly i'm sure the 71000000 people who did vote for him would agree that has strength has been a great part in foreign policy that was when he went to former states actually to germany as defense minister thank you so much for taking the time to speak to me today and go. well that is all for the moment and

we will be back at the top of the hour with all the latest especially from the u.s. so stick with us we'll see that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only place i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
