like the ministration. well, it's not just like the top ministration, because the top administration had no tact. they treat at their end, their friends like they were enemies. and that's a problem. so when you're trying to, he didn't, he had more of an isolationist kind of view of the world anyway. and, and i feel just the way he spoke about merkel that he has a problem with strong women. and so sometimes his policies, his rhetoric was more of an attack on her than on what the country should be doing . of course, all partnerships should contribute more and in the way that the world is now, the united states can't carry the load, but you have to have tact. you have to have diplomat, you have to be diplomatic. you have to be respectful because you need your friends in order to rally in order to move in the world forward. yeah, but i think we have to seize a situation together with what's happening in germany. and america has been chancellor for many years and she is on the way out next year will have a new c

what can we expect from a bygone ministration when it comes to russia? as things stand today, relations are at rock bottom. biden's orbit is replete with hard liners in neo cons with a long record of foreign policy failure. could relations continue to get worse to discuss this and more, i'm joined by my guest, michael o'hanlon in washington. he is a senior fellow and director of research in the foreign policy program at brookings, as well as author of beyond nato, a new security architecture for eastern europe, also in washington. we have brian becker. he's the executive director of the answer coalition. and in moscow we cross to, maxie should go, he is an expert at the russian international affairs council, originally crossed out rules, and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate it . ok, let me go to maxime 1st here in moscow. by all accounts, we're going to have a by ministration in in january. now, given the background of the russia gate hysteria hoax and the antipathy and really deep a trait of russia in the amer

like the ministration. not just like the top ministration, because the top administration had no tact they treat at their end, their friends like they were enemies. and that's a problem. so when you're trying to, he didn't, he had more of an isolationist kind of view of the world anyway. and, and i feel just the way he spoke about merkel that he has a problem with strong women. and so sometimes his policy, his rhetoric was more of an attack on her than on what the country should be doing . of course, partnership should contribute more and in the way that the world is now the united states can't carry the load, but you have to have tact. you have to have diplomat, you have to be diplomatic. you have to be respectful because you need your friends in order to rally in order to move in the world forward. yeah, but i think we have to seize a situation together with what's happening in germany. and america has been chancellor for many years and she is on the way out next year will have a new coalition. and if you

do you see more predictability with the biden ministration? or is he going to kind of look at this and say, you know, trump did a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to tariffs and stuff, would just keep that in place because that's what our base has wanted. and we don't have to change things. well, i think ben is right, it will be more predictable despite all of this. it's just the way that it would normally work since the radiator democrats mostly did it to as consistent with that with the kind of politician that, that he, joe biden wants to be. so yes, i also think there's a couple of other things to keep in mind. here, the policy of confronting china failed, whatever you think of it, whether you like it or not, mr. trump did not change the government in china. it's not change. it's economic policies need to abroad, nor at all in any fundamental way. most of the adjustments made a perfectly consistent with what the chinese were doing. and i think he's going to have to ask himself the question. whether it's better in the long run for the amer

like the trump ministration. well, it's not just like the top ministration, because the top administration had no tact a treat at their end and their friends like they were enemies. and that's a problem. so when you're trying to, he didn't, he had more of an isolationist kind of view of the world anyway. and, and i feel just the way he spoke about the merkel that he has a problem with strong women. and so sometimes his policy, his rhetoric was more of an attack on her than on what the country should be doing . of course, partnership should contribute more and in the way that the world is now the united states can't carry the load, but you have to have tact. you have to have diplomat, you have to be diplomatic. you have to be respectful because you need your friends in order to rally in order to move in the world forward. yeah, but i think we have to seize a situation together with what's happening internally. and america has been chancellor for many years and she is on the way out next year will have a new coalit

by all accounts, we're going to have a, by ministration end january. now given the background of the russia gate hysteria hoax and the antipathy and really deep hatred of russia in the american political class and particularly the media here. what is, what is the kremlin expecting in january when it comes to american foreign policy towards your country go ahead. 1st of all, i think the relationship between the united states and russia would have continued to deteriorate anyway, regardless of who would end up in the white house. and especially seeing the acts that stations are peter, listen, our viewers to by and ministration on to on to particular issue as long as you mentioned, mention in your introduction, the intersection is filled with people with, with all kind of long, long record deep criticism to put it very mildly explores russia and, you know, ideas on military interventions, but most importantly, i think, given that they do, the united states is divided now politically and ideologically and socially. what unites them pratik, the administrati

expert analysis to break it all down the later pre-owned of the trade war with china the trouble to ministration is taken issue with tech giants from the nation will dive into how the election affects the disputes with huawei and moving forward with a packed show today let's dive right in. u.s. president donald trump inherited a strong economy during his time in office we saw a record breaking numbers in the stock market and the unemployment rate but the coronavirus pandemic changed everything boom bust several months as they oka takes us through the economy president. in us history presidents are either praised or criticized for the state of the country's economy during their time in office this happens even though circumstances may change during their presidency that are well beyond their control over the last 4 years president trump well he's had no problem telling the state of the country's economy particularly when it comes to the stock market even under the pandemic recovery. we will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world are gonna be doing great number one

so there's a full plate for abided ministration to deal with. but china has to be number one, number 2. well, the other great superpower is always russia, and the relationship between president biden and president putin is going to be critical. but russia is a very important country for the united states every day of the year, right? 18th of the world's landmass a very, very rich country in terms of oil, natural gas, minerals, diamonds, timber, but also a very important country because it projects power in asia, in the middle east, in the caucuses and in europe. but i think vladimir putin is looking for a different relationship with the by did ministration from his perspective. i think you'd like to recalibrate relations with washington so that russia is no longer dealing with anti-tank weapons that are sold to the ukrainian army. no longer dealing with oil and natural gas exports from the united states at a crushing russia's export revenue. trying to deal with a different type of the nato alliance, where president trump was able to get nato cou

a lot of the policies pursued by the trump ministration when it comes to russia but they'll probably be even tougher with the rhetoric on china we discussed a bit some of the goals of the by the ministrations going to have to kind of determine what their approach is to be beijing but i think when you look outside of beijing to other partners in the region you'll see a lot of continuity and the u.s. approach sure you'll see a continuance of the strategy of shoring up u.s. alliances in asia trying to deepen military cooperation with other asian partners and so despite the major differences between biden and trump i think on some of these foreign policy topics you'll actually see a certain amount of continuity when you go to get your thoughts on this to me fly we appreciate it thank you very much thanks for having me. millions of americans have already voted and many have done it by mail but is largely jews and some reluctance to vote in person during the pandemic across the u.s. there's no single procedure for processing those votes rob reynolds has more from los angeles. there's been

i'm sure we will come back to that, a lot of people being appointed by the budget ministration may nots to many people, you will know them and what are you will know them and what are you thinking? i can't tell you how thrilled i am. i know a lot of these people and have further relationships with a lot of these folks, and they are just really good people which is so staggering after the last few years of some truly horrible human beings being in this administration such as stephen miller. these are the dregs of society and of the earth. you have these legitimately good people and a lot of experience or excellent human beings, jake sullivan and the people working in government affairs inside the new white house. it's really exciting, it really feels good to have people who want to do the right thing be in office. give your free hit there, other opinions are available as you surely know. thank you very much indeed. let's go back now to our washington correspondent. correspondent nomia iqbal. an important thing partly because it gives access. angus crucial briefings and notjust getting t

his team also talks about picking up where the trumpet, ministration left off on china and working more with allies. so these are all topics which i think they'll be a lot of, you know, heads nodding in europe and here in berlin. support of that sort of agenda. my question about setting aside the tactics where i think president trump often inserted himself unnecessarily into our allies politics and made it difficult for them to work with us. joe biden take a different approach, but americans still want to see results, and that's the unfortunate we had 8 years of the obama administration. obama was beloved greeted by the crowds of thousands of people at the sago soil, a very close relationship with chancellor merkel. but he still privately criticized germany and other allies as free riders. he was frustrated by the same things. the president was frustrated about president trump just vocalize those concerns and started to produce some results. and so i think the, the question is going to be after a change in tone will abide, administration be able to produce results on any number of these

so there will be some continuity, but still the biden ministration. very, very concerned about a full accounting of our national security interests and trans efforts to hold government agencies in their list of priorities during this transition period. one other thing that since the dust settles and closely read the, the letter from emily murphy, it is striking that she doesn't actually say the words that she is allowed to say, which is i ascertain you to be the likely winner of the presidential election. she doesn't say that she does talk about the threats and harassment she received. she says she didn't receive any political pressure. she says that she's decided that she's able now to grow in count money for the transition. but she doesn't actually say the words ascertain you to be the likely winner of the election. she is going to pick up on one last thing just very quickly. we don't have a lot of time left. but as you mentioned in that statement from biden house, they also talk, it was, as well as that, the pandemic talked and talked about nationa

it's also important to note that the trumpet, ministration has not conceded defeat. they still maintain, they were victims of widespread election fraud. the election was stolen from them. donald trump main saint's he is the legitimate winner of the u.s. presidential election. however, it seems clear at this point that the trumpet ministration is planning to leave office in january. now it is also important to note that joe biden has considered himself the president elect for quite some time. now. he's been naming appointments to his cabinet, a number of which are former obama administration figures. and it seems like joe biden has been preparing to take office long before today. i mean, this seems to be the 1st indication we have from the trump administration that they will begin the process of transitioning away from power. and it seems like joe biden will be entering the white house in january. but joining me live now laurence chan, the host of a pod cost called pseudo intellectual. lauren, thanks for joining us. that i ought to be good to have you with us. now thi

he seems to think he's going to better admit relations with a biden and ministration congratulations joe biden he wrote on twitter on your spectacular victory and we're working we look forward to working closely together once again to take india u.s. relations to greater heights of course a factor in that is the news stories that will be right now being written in india about camilla harris and her indian heritage clearly an important factor in the relations between india and the new. biden heris ministration from general 20th next year last one to mention a big countries that we've heard no reaction from yet russia obviously we're waiting for but also china no reaction to china at this stage apart from one of the . mitchell newspapers the main official newspaper the people's daily in china all know english twitter account before the muse that he was president select boyden donald trump before he went golfing wrote a tweet i won this election by a lot and then all of the news about the president of the biden was the president elect the people's daily retreated with the words ha ha ja

after the trumpet ministration for many big. and withdrawing from the organization in july the director general also acknowledged that there had been calls to reform the w.h.o. and he said that those will be listened to but he warned that world expectations for the organization had grown dramatically but the budget hadn't and he said that without addressing that critical issue they can't continue to work ok charlie gosh preparing for the next pandemic that's quite a thought thanks very much for joining us there from london so he's finance minister says he's resigning because of health reasons barak who's also the son and north president. made the announcement on his instagram account that comes 2 days after the central bank governor was sacked so his currency the lira has lost 30 percent of its value against the u.s. dollar since the start of the year. is in istanbul and as if present one accepts the resignation it will be a significant move. for sure this resignation is going to be a game changer especially for president are go

like the trumpet, ministration or not just like the type ministration. because the top administration had no tact, they treat at their end and their friends like they were enemies. and that's a problem. so when you're trying to, he didn't, he had more of an isolationist kind of view of the world. anyway. and, and i feel just the way he spoke about merkel that he has a problem with strong women. and so sometimes his policies, his rhetoric was more of an attack on her than what the country should be doing. of course, all partnerships should contribute more. and in the way that the world is now, the united states can't carry the load, but you have to have tact. you have to have diplomat, you have to be diplomatic. you have to be respectful because you need your friends in order to rally in order to move in the world forward. yeah, but i think we have to seize a situation to give what's happening in germany. and america has been chancellor for many years and she is on the way out next year will have a new coalition. and if you read together the outcome of th

now the trumpet, ministration has been dealt some blows in terms of their litigation in michigan and pennsylvania, but they plan on appealing from what i understand. and a lot of people myself included, believe that ultimately this will end up at the supreme court. now this is by no means over. however, by agreeing to follow this protocol, i think the trabant ministration is doing their best to, i guess, appease media and the democratic party who are insisting on accusing him of staging some sort of sudoku, which is absolutely not the case. even before the start of the official transition, the president elect was already fast. that working key cabinet picks for joe biden's decision to line up. the oval office with war hawks is already raising questions about his foreign policy intentions. when he's killable been picks up, a story. 6 cabinet appointees have already been named. among them is anthony blanket for his secretary of state. now anthony blanket has certainly got an impressive resume. he is definitely not a washington outsider. he was obama's deputy adviser. he was national se

he's made it in fat, equally clear that isn't ministration. will pull out troops from, from afghanistan, possibly also from syria. and it's, i find it quite odd that we keep hearing from the liberal media that trump may resort to a coup to stay in power. well, looks to me that the pentagon and the national security state is committing a coup against trump in the last months of busy residency by not obeying direct orders from the commander in chief. this is serious business. go ahead, george. it is extremely serious because he is the commander in chief and he has a right and the duty to implement his policy. and what we're getting is that they're venting is explicitly just ignoring the instructions from the commander in chief. so we get in afghanistan in which the united states has actually signed an agreement with the taliban, committing itself to withdrawing by early next year. and the pentagon decide whether or not that i'm not going to implement this policy. they're going to condition it on what the military regards as the situation on the

the foreign policy team of a potential buy in ministration is being touted by the liberal media. we'll tell you why all this should be for a fine cull. so there's a lot of talk of a great reset and build back better does looking backward bode well for the future . the players in the middle east and slam the assassination of iran's top nuclear physicist with pledges of retaliation, creating a client market for the future by ministration and seriously threatening ties between to iran and washington to the norway are afraid to show cartoons of the prophet muhammad in class, according to a survey bearing personal consequences following last month's murder of a french teacher, r.t. talked with one of them. after the murder of our summer chief, i decided not to show them at all because i felt the wind of all i felt about my profession attacked. the story is government says it will act on a report revealing new strips, submitted war crimes in afghanistan. but if that is to affect those who have nothing to do with the allegation, a very good morning to you from our team here in moscow, y

ministrations claim that the area is part of israel. he for his visit and that the syrian government, which called it an act of provocation. israel captured the golan heights from syria during the 1967 war, and later alex, the territory. and last year, the trumpet ministration recognized it as part of israel making the u.s. the only country to do so that move along with the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital was all part of the trump peace plan for the region nicknamed the deal of the century prime minister benjamin netanyahu had some warm words for the u.s. leader. thanks to president, drop the newest work to the troops with his rooftop to president. going through the list with the troops from the student wants to present a united states recognize this road for thank you president from his roots to 40 3. that's the president going to is really deeply grateful for all the president from the secretary also infuriated palestinians by paying a visit to jewish settlements in the disputed west bank and announcing a u.s. initiati

election joe biden there is news of yet another member of the trumpet ministration testing positive for cocaine at 19 and that is ben carson the hud secretary or. in addition to the chief of staff mark meadows who tested positive in just the last week or so so this is something that we believe has originated from the what was supposed to be a victory party at the white house on election night and as we have seen many times when there have been these sorts of gatherings there are many who aren't wearing masks and as a result now we have this 2nd outbreak at the white house so certainly an interesting timing for all of this given this news correct me if i'm wrong can be but did you say earlier that might parents who heads up the white house coronavirus toss force was going to be convening that talks will start is just that as mike was pointing out you know we might have should say pointed out we have not heard much from him all this tossed force for a long time and in fact i suspect people will be paying more attention to joe biden's team now. i you know i don't know what people are going

from really seeing many of the worst inclinations of the trump ministration through was that many of his positions actually went unfilled despite having a republican friendly senate many of his positions just didn't get filled. joe biden is probably going to try to one way or another get around that look in joe budden expect do you think from the jump white house in the weeks to come up we're looking at a difficult transition i think we can already say yes concerned has been no traditional route concession speech and donald trump no admit defeat no traditional phone call to the winner no invitation to the white house all of these things are tradition and ease the transition but it should be very clear those are only traditions or as there is no legal basis there is nothing stopping this presidency the joe biden presidency from going forward but can make the transition very messy and make it very hard for biden to get off on the right start with his it minister to remember it's the general services administration this one element of the u.s. government his own government donald trump'

and this is a rino where the ministration also changed. longstanding u.s. policy. last year they made an announcement recognizing israeli over the occupied golan heights. that is of course, what most of the international community sees differently contradicting international law before that also as a 1st he made a stop over a divine re in a jewish settlement. in the occupied west bank and announced from now on another reversal of u.s. policy. that products made in the occupied west bank in settlements could be labeled as made in is well another controversial issue. that is in line with an announcement last year by the ministration that they no longer see israeli settlements as inconsistent with international law. and we saw a few protests also in the line up to this by the palestinians. they say it's a provocation, a very small protest, just opposite this settlement in the town of beer. and that's part of some of the actual owners of parts of the land where the settlement is built on over there. now the question is, of course, you know, with this announcement of ne

now we've seen or heard the term ministration, especially with the tensions between them. we know a lot of experts analysts have said that, at least with joe biden, that we would president joe biden, we would be able to, he's a little more, at least a pragmatic about things and that at least people can feel where he's going to go and how he's going to take this kristie co-host. i think that's only thank you for breaking this down for us time now for a quick break, but when we come back, faith act makes another historic watch to the international space station. opening up the possibility of a regular launch schedule from u.s. soil. as we go to break here, the numbers of the world is driven by shaped by one person. who dares thinks we dare to ask the banks are involved in a huge ponzi scheme attached to the federal reserve bank. and the federal reserve bank is attached to a huge ponzi scheme called the global banking financial. and the i.m.f. and the world bank and the people at davos and then that part of the ponzi scheme is backed by america's military. so america's milita

yeah, the troubled ministration. a had been working very hard as you know for some time to cut back on what it views as illegal immigration and when covert 19 hit, what it did was put in place an emergency public health order to deport as many as 8000 children back to their countries of origin, citing the public health emergency and concerns about coronavirus. well that now has been reversed by a u.s. district court judge at least where pertains to children what it doesn't impact or the more than 147000. men and women who have been set back since march, that is still a practice that will continue. but what we can tell you is that already the bible administration or incoming by ministrations saying they are looking to review a number of these policies and will try and reverse some as part of a broader revamping of immigration, but for now under the trumpet ministration. still no word if they're going to challenge this latest ruling to their immigration policy. thank you very much. iran's foreign minister says tehran i

for granted after what they've seen in the trumpet ministration and we have a pandemic which has killed over a 1000000 people we have the worst recession this century and we have a climate crisis that is just getting worse so lots of challenges huge challenges ahead we just had some reaction from mexico's president money our apollo is there in mexico city what's he been saying. well we have been standing by today to know whether or not the president of mexico and this bundle up is what i thought it would be making a statement following that. even duquesne colombia even one of them this of honduras some of the 1st in the latin american region to reach out to president elect joe biden to congratulate him on on his electoral victory we had not heard yet from president lopez of what i thought we were told by the foreign minister's office that he was in the south of mexico touring areas of the country that have been affected by the by the rains left from the remnants of hurricane ada which slammed into central america earlier last week but we are now finally hearing from president lopez obra

and they want to gain complete understanding of the trumpet, ministrations efforts to hold government agencies. so interesting triumvirate, there of priorities. clearly this does mean that they have now referred draw resources to begin that transition. they can get rent, office space, they can hire personnel. interestingly, they were actually fundraising for the transition process. i see a member of the pool. the biden traveling pool is already also. what do you do with all that money that you raised? just in the last few days saying that you needed money for the transition, and the biden camp hasn't go back to reporters as yet, but they have the money. but clearly, what we have been hearing for for weeks now is the biggest concern as this transition process was structuring. was it was the pandemic response that they just didn't have a clear idea of where the government was in its planning for a vaccine. and its, and its, and its current response with as far as personal protective equipment and so on is concerned. they didn't understand about supply trains for both p.p. e, but also fo

and so it is obviously a very major, final gift potentially of the trumpet, ministration to the north and yahoo administration question is how long lasting and how impactful that will be one anti settlement activist i was, it was really an irrelevance given. there is a new u.s. administration coming into power, a settler leader, so that it could at least create a sense of legal argument over the issue which might outlive the trumpet ministration. hari forces in west recent thank you. let's join the most of our barguti. he's the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, joins me now via skype from ramallah. good to have you with us on the program again, sir. let's just begin with after months of not speaking to the israelis for an exciting parts of the west bank. why have the palestinian adamant ministration decided to start to speak again to the netanyahu government in service? again, buying up a list, you know, not so to do is open. it's completely object is not supported by facts and it's only going to sham and it should not have been because it is happening while in

and the election will influence the global fight against climate change the trumpet ministration formally withdraw from the paris agreement today a by when it might change that what's at stake. i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us as the united states counts its ballots asia watches across the region people have their preferences rooting for trump or buy in one of the most possibly the most consequential election for the world in decades who wins will determine asia's regional stability in the context of a rising china and in terms of trade and climate change. welcome back to our it's the everything from thailand to a struggling to china and japan the race for the white house is dominating news coverage and asia. so we'll tell you who will be the next leader in this superpower america continue to be coming to. governments and people in the region are watching the u.s. election closely and like in the u.s. they're divided on whether donald trump all joe biden would be the better winner. i think definitely the election of president crumb is better for taiwan. i sup

who was until the very beginning of the trumpet ministration. a career diplomat because kelly craft the current u.s. ambassador, normally political appointees. but she's quite unusual in that she came to the job with no national security experience at all. she was trump's ambassador canada, and she got that job after her and her husband donated large amounts of money to the trump campaign. so a campaign donor is the u.s. ambassador now to be replaced by someone who is a career diplomat until she was fired in a cult of top career. diplomats in the early days of the trump administration. interesting, though, the new biden ambassador will of serve, at least for a few days under president trump. i think u.s. allies are going to have a sigh of relief when they see some of these figures in the jobs. they are most of the allies know antony blinken extremely well. former deputy national security advisor, deputy secretary of state. they will be well aware that these are people they've dealt with before. they've met before, often have had dinner with befo

is ministration. you're right, that the style, but also the approach more important in style. the approach will be different. i think president biden will work hard with us, not just in the pacific region, but of course in, in europe, in with canada. because the united states cannot achieve our strategic objectives at being alone. and this is, this is about great power competition and you have to compete in a diplomatic space. and the information space in the economic space is not just in the military space. i think about industry tional work hard to protect supply chains or car to continue protecting our freedom of navigation in the south china sea, for example, and the ramps i want. i think when it comes to while away, for example, we'll look for ways to compete against our way, not just threaten our allies who are thinking about using wildlife. and so i'm intrigued by, by, by good data. what you said that one of the significant differences you say, between a trumpet and a biden approach is that bid

administration is no matter it's trumpet ministration abidin at ministration it's that they need to get back to jason vieaux way and they need to make reparations without asking any kind of change but what biden has requested is more like what trump. has requested iraq to do based on the manifesto it gave out through the c.n.n. requesting to iran to speak with and to make deals with the united states on many various issues regional issues myside shoes israel go on and so on so forth iran will once biden to get back to the j.c. feel way and with such a you know the vi the in the us it doesn't seem. very likely to might end up in a situation to make a if i sense if i could just jump in because iran must be making some sort of plans for the possibility of a return to the 2015 nuclear deal what conditions would tecton lay at the u.s. table. well ron's 1st conditions the u.s. get should get back to j.c. without requesting any change as biden has said that he once changes in old sunset clauses of the nuclear deal but iran has rejected that 2nd the will iran has requested reparations from the

of course, the trumpet, ministration took the opposite view as hard as the u.k. bragg's it, who will be on the right side of this argument. well, i think the trumpet, ministrations, policies i don't think have, have accomplished done, and in many ways i think have backfired. obviously, the drop administration did not succeed in, in isolating china, or really even in getting it to make direct bilateral concessions beyond promises of purchases of soybeans, which i don't think is the grand geo political interests that the likes of steve mann and used to tout. and so i think there we've, we've seen kind of a backlash. if you look at poll numbers in the u.s. now support for higher levels of immigration have, has gone up since 2016. trade has gotten a bit more popular too that the politics are a bit more regional. and so that's more complicated, but i do think we've seen a bit of a backlash there. i think it's reassuring to see this kind of agreement in the context of the dependent make an economic downturn. i think the biden ministration putting china aside for a mome

we spoke with foreign policy experts on pompei as visit downs, how the trumpet ministrations, policies have reshaped the israeli palestinian conflict. some talk about diplomacy and peace. what does it mean for an entire nation of people, palestinian people who have been dislocated now for a century? plus this is horrible for so many millions of families and would pump it was doing is giving the green light in the next few weeks for the hard writing israel to continue to trample over palestinian self-determination and 16 she knew to gobble look historical palestinian land in gaza in the west bank, and now these incursions into syria instead to go on heights. i mean, israel's functions as a massive u.s. war base in the middle east, seemingly do whatever they want without any consequences. it's an unprecedented move for any, you know, high ranking american official on the level of secretary and certainly secretary of state which is the highest in america to come and visit, you know, a community, a settlement in the golan heights. so you know, it is, it is amazing. it is an amazing achieve

is this, do you think as close to a concession as we're going to see ministration? well, look, i mean, the transition process has begun this point. the general services administration is informing president elect joe biden, now that they will begin the formal process of transitioning to a joe biden administration at this point. we have this letter from emily murphy, who is the administrator. take a listen. i was never directly or indirectly pressured by an executive branch official including those who work at the white house. well, general services administration with regard to the substance or timing of my decision to be clear, i did not receive any direction to delay my determination. i did, however, receive threats online by phone and by mail directed at my safety. my family, my stuff, and even my pets in an effort to cuss me into making this determination prematurely, even in the face of thousands of threats. so i always remain committed to upholding the law. now while she says in her letter that she received no instructions from the trouble, ministrations can't

the 1st set has to do with the trumpet ministration. trump, himself wasn't very interested and listening to experts doing the right thing, trying to do the best job he can and mitigating the spread of the virus. and the other set of factors concerns, structural issues in the united states. the fact that they have a very unequal health care system. the fact that the welfare state is quite weak and quite fragmented, and lot of people don't receive welfare. and the 3rd factor is that they have federalism, and a lot of action is actually up to the states and their governors and not 2 percent for government. i would say those are the main reasons why it didn't go so well in the united states. let's pick up on the 1st one of those then what, what effect did the at going president play the role so the virus is playing down of the virus? well i think we all are familiar with the press conferences that he gave that late spring and early summer where he really just rattled and gave all kinds of conflicting messages about what to do to fight the v
