election tame thanks for coming in pay to or so biden paris time now take over the reins in january as i indicated at all what the 1st step policy was will be to have $1.00 of the very 1st steps is going to be to set up a coronavirus task force to get the pen democratic control. and on top of that we know that by explaining a flurry of executive. decisions to orders to reverse a lot of the policies that trump has put in place he trump was not able to get a lot of actual legislation done so took a lot of action through his powers asked president through secular voters so that will be a bit easier for biden to reverse those and that includes rejoining the world health organization which left not too long ago it will be rejoined the climate of course will be reversing. more than 100 trumpet a place to water down climate protections repeal the ban on. you know majority muslim countries the travel ban. and so on and so forth the question is whether or not biden and come all hers will be able to get through any major real legislation because of the situation congress where we're currently lo

doesn't look very promising for a president trump to the contrary it looks 334 missing for the biden paris ticket pennsylvania very purple a state you know you have republicans in control of the state legislature a democrat governor what makes pennsylvania demographics lead to such a close call. while it was a blue ball state and it will but that was before hillary clinton then trumpet the unthinkable for democrats and turned it the state went to trump now it's going to go the other way it looks like it at least and that is showing you how diverse and how much this country how much this state just changing. changing all the time we're going to see where it changes in the next couple of days thank you very much stuff and simon's. this is the news live from berlin a reminder of the top story we're following for you. folks counting continues in several battleground u.s. states still no clear winner in the race for the white house in his 1st appearance since election night president trump slammed now in toting which is favored democrats his campaign has launched legal action in undecided state

his victory canadian prime minister justin trudeau was the 1st world leader to congratulate the biden paris victory tweeting congratulations joe biden and camelot harris our 2 countries our close friends partners and allies we share a relationship that's unique on the world stage and we're looking forward to working together and building on that with you both the fashion butler has been monitoring of the reaction from europe or certainly from france in paris she joins us now so just in trudeau there canada obviously an immediate neighbor of the u.s. they need to keep their relations you know a pretty core deal it hasn't always been the case with the e.u. and with france so what reaction has there been from the it easy to to this election. well the french president eman or macron put out a tweet a bit earlier shortly after the projections for joe biden were announced and in that tweet to the french president says that he congratulated joe biden and camilla harris and he looks forward to working very closely in the future on some of the world's big challenges and i think that him at all micha

as you can see, nearly 702i'm -- nearly 72 million cast a vote for the biden-paris ticket -- biden ---harris ticket. we are going to continue to hear after we hear from this. >> first of all, we have background on last night. what happen last night was fox called arizona for joe biden. she said the decision left president fuming, and his team complained. then he began casting aspersions on other states' vote counts. she goes on to report mr. trump and his advisors erupted at the news. if it was true arizona was lost, it would cast doubt on any claim a victory the president might be able to make. administration officials and campaign staff members had been all night, adamant that there was still a republican vote to be counted in the state. she goes on to say they and getral other aides tried to on arump to stop packing war hero and arizona's favorite son, senator mccain. let's take a look at the balance of power in the house where it stands right now. 41 still yet to be called. republicans have 190 seats and democrats have 204. a look at some of those races that have not been called -

relief in germany that they may be able to have a relationship with biden presidency we've also heard reaction from the london and paris mayors all congratulating joe biden and also nicholas sturgeon the 1st minister of scotland not just who actually to joe biden but making a point to say that this is a historic victory a historic victory because now as president elect that means the vice president elect is a woman. the 1st woman to hold that office in the united states also reaction from the labor leader who said the biden campaign was a campaign on values values that the u.k. holds itself as such as decency integrity compassion and strength and reaction from all seemingly welcoming this news that joe biden will be the $46.00 president of the united states wow it's gaffney going to be interesting to see how it all the policy changes under joe biden if fears are inaugurated in january on january 20th that was started to penske reporting from paris many thanks. well let's look finally before we go about how people are reacting to the news images from the big screens at the moment people in new york shouting you can see

i think one of the best examples of that is the paris climate accord. and joe bidene ends up being the president that what he is going to do is sign us back into the paris climate agreement on day one. remember, when president trump pulled out of it, he said it's because he represents the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris, that's not the way joe biden you views things. jillian: in addition to the paris climate accord, biden campaigned on rejoining the iran nuclear agreement. griff: a 15-year-old boy is arrested in connection to a wisconsin mall shooting that sent eight to the hospital. the teen allegedly opened fire inside the mall outside milwaukee, then ran out with a panicked crowd friday. police say the shooting was due to anil tear case -- an altercation, officers found a gun during his arrest. several others were taken into custody. no other details were given. all eight victims suffered nonlife-threatening injuries. a florida sheriff's office released body cam footage of a high speed chase that led to a deadly shootout. florida deputieses were pursuing the sus

media each other and one is of use it's climate president biden committed to rejoin the paris climate agreement and hear us need each other but generally biden is likely to focus on domestic issues taking on the pandemic helping the economy recover and protecting u.s. workers a power struggle with china is also expected to dominate his presidency biden will call on the europe for support ceci accokeek a guard senior fellow with the german marshall fund clearly europe is going to be a much more valued ally because of the u.s. rivalry with china but also put your are going to position to ask for something else something in return if you like. and trade is clearly an area where i think there is a lot of opportunity that everything will change and by and president many here believe that american demands for greater european defense spending and burden sharing will continue the u.s. is pivoting to asia and other parts of the world and less and less willing to patrol europe's neighborhood in the last 4 years you are peons learn the hard way what you asked disengagement really means it was d

limit does biden, sorry, rejoining the paris accord, bring that $1.00 degrees c. limit within striking distance. now, many people given up on it before. well, i mean the true and true answer is we don't know. there's a lot of momentum in physics this situation now. we've watched around the world this year from the fires in australia to the fires in california to the fires in south america. the move to the 30 plus hurricanes in the atlantic basin. we were seeing change at a scale we haven't seen before. and what it underlines is the need to move with true aggression to true speed. winning slowly on climate change is just another way of losing. so at this point, civil society, those of us in the activist world, are trying to push and push really, really hard. there's no room for complacency among our officials and bill, i want to ask you as well. the fact is moving towards a cleaner energy economy, an easy a sell now than it was 15 to 20 years ago. oh, absolutely. i mean, you know, look, 15 or 20 years ago solar power, wind power was an expensive and somewhat fringe

paris agreement would be a huge mistake. national security analyst doctor rebecca grant joins us. good morning. you have a perspective i never heard before. tell us why you think joe bidenccord would be the wrong call. >> china, not america, is the climate monster. there greenhouse gas emissions of gone up 353% since 1990. we could rejoin, we could pay for a lot of carbon capture here and china can ruin the planet all by themselves. we can't just go back and without a lot of preconditions and changes to that accord. jillian: the thing i found so compelling had to do with solar energy. explain china profiting off of that. >> here's the hoax if you will which is china really wants to sell solar energy, 7 of the world's ten solar panel manufacturers are chinese companies. a $1.7 trillion climate stimulus would end up benefiting china because of a huge new demand for these energy products. shannon: the chinese foreign ministry sends congratulations to joe biden and kamala harris, they say, quote, we respect the choice of the american people, extend congratulations to mister biden and miss harris. what is your opinion on this? them sending the congratulations and the timing

has removed itself from the paris climate agreement in the last few days biden said if he became the next president of the united states on day one in office he would sign back up to that agreement and in fact that was one of the things that many of the leaders were talking about on social media on saturday evening is the fact that welcoming america back into the fold when it came to fighting climate change one german m.p. actually said that she was literally crying at that result knowing that biden would resign up to the paris climate accord but there are also other issues as well this is a rainy a nuclear deal something that president machen here in france really tried to keep the e.u. the u.s. part of that failed also you know really tried everything including flying in your rain in foreign ministry to a g. 7 summit meeting in 2019 that failed to get trump back round the negotiating table with the iranians and of course there is also the world health organization something that trump started the removal of the u.s. early this year saying that essentially china was controlling it t

the pandemic, it will be harder to continue the blame game with china, also hope with biden looking to rejoin the paris agreement on climate change that it may create an area that the u.s. and china will no longer compete on while he is wildly expected to be less confrontational, but state media does acknowledge that the u.s. is unlikely to ease pressure on china when it co comes to the sort of broader trade issues and the existing tariffs. but still businesses have welcomed the outcome and also cheering strong day it out of china which showed that exports continue to grow in oblgctober their fastest pace in 19 months. suggesting that exports have been a little bit more resilient in the face of the slowing global demand. and so this saw the trade surplus jump to $58.4 billion from $37 billion in september. and so it tells a lot about the resilience of the chinese economy. domestic demand is holding up well and also consumption is starting to pick back up. back to you. >>> and speaking much chiof chis announce the restrictions as their number one concern this was conducted before the election and so now

environment and climate change, it is clear the blighted administration will rejoin the paris agreement -- biden administration will rejoin the paris agreement. there will be a lot more leadership from the federal government, and therefore private entities in the u.s. combating climate change. on the social issues, that could potentially be the largest focus that we did not expect. the biden administration, having been elected by a lot of minorities, women around the country, there will be a big focus -- and be heard in the speech that biden gave -- he thanked the black community in south carolina for the turnaround of his campaign, and he would not let them get behind. there will be a big emphasis on racial issues, social justice issues, and that will put pressure on companies and investors to align themselves with the policies of federal government, continuing to have inclusive capitalistic growth. vonnie: large asset managers also developing their own. how much of a risk is this to msci? msci is the leading provider of climate change investing tools for investors, managers, banks around the w

also something thatjoe biden has said, as soon as he is in office, he will rejoin the paris climate accordially. that will also increase or improve relations between the us and europe? certainly, like i said before, joe biden is a traditionalist and does see that value of multilateralism and working with allies. he will work to reinvigorate and strengthen alliances and also signal that the us is back and dependable. he will rejoin the paris climate accord, he will also perhaps look to, or, he will look to having a united states play an active role in the who is the whole world confronts this corona pandemic and perhaps also look to europe to restart negotiations with iran in terms of reframing new nuclear deals. although things will be there. very briefly, who wanted to make trump in europe? i think are certainly countries in eastern europe like poland and hungary had some admiration towards trump when it comes to migration policies and the way he sort of pushed back. ithink policies and the way he sort of pushed back. i think his loss of aeon being a leader was welcomed in certain corners

if biden comes into power, joins paris, japan has a clear signal of that is what has to do. m the symbolism, which is important, at the same time, one of the things that vice president biden said he would pursue as president is cutting back on what he calls subsidies to fossil fuel industries. a lot of tax breaks, various things in code. is there any hope of that without a majority of the house and senate? not really. as you said, it is in the tax code, and that has to be legislated upon and will require instruments of congress to get through. but as i said, he could direct what money he has access to toward clean energy, and those are not small sums. when you are looking at a oferal procurement program $500 billion a year, that's a lot of money. because there is support in congress, bipartisan, he could pass legislation for more money toward innovation and research. this is something republicans and democrats agree upon, and the u.s. leads on. there, biden is saying that he wants to put forth $400 billion, three times the federal government currently spends on innovation in

and i think biden will do the opposite. you'll rejoin paris hill, rejoin the world health organization to try to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal. breathe new life into nato, so the u.s. will lead and diplomatically, even as it leans back militarily. and for me, that's exactly the right formula. or is that actually a cover of a covert activity? because obviously under obama, there was, well actually there was over activity, wouldn't africa's resist because of the country was destroyed all but destroyed by obama. and we know the blood in the said he supports one in venezuela, the location of the world's greatest fossil fuel resources. we know, he said he has to pay this, this. he was much tougher than anything trying to say, you know, i think that trump's relationship with russia has been very strange, very difficult to unpack. he has shown some affinity for a lot of mir putin, even in a time when putin has been interfering in, in american elections. and so i think what you'll see is a tougher line from mr. biden, but also of pragmatism, willi

has pledged to rejoin the landmark 2015 -- paris accord climate accord on his first day in office. on wednesday biden tweeted -- "today, the trump administration officially left the paris climate agreement. and in exactly 77 days, a biden administration will rejoin it." and in madrid, spain, activists with the climate action group extinction rebellion superglued themselves to the ground outside the entrance to the agriculture ministry on wednesday, demanding spain's government do more to protect biodiversity. the activists say climate change and the loss of animal habitat threatens to spark new pandemics around the world. >> we demand measures to release all this climate crisis are taken. for example, the coronavirus basically derives from climate change, that little by little we are losing biodiversity. one of the direct consequences is we are losing the natural barrier that previously protected us. amy: and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman in new york, joined remotely by my co-host nermeen shaikh. hi, nermeen. nermeen:

biden. that's normal. what's not is the sense of relief that america first isolationism is over the mayor of paris tweeted,lcome back, america. when president trump was elected a german magazine showed him decapitating the statue of liberty. in the new edition, president-elect biden is restoring it. so what will actually change engagement is back biden says he'll refund the w.h.o., rejoin the paris climate accord, recommit to nato and then revive the iran deal who potentially loses? israel is nervous. president trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital. palestinians felt ignored and refused to deal with washington now they hope biden will reengage. also nervous, the uk's boris johnson, a champion of leaving the european union who biden has called a trump clone. russia has yet to congratulate president-elect bide saying it's waiting for more official results. china silent, too. does not expect its cold war with the u.s. to thaw under biden. lester >> richard engel tonight, thanks, richard. >>> parts of south florida recovering this evening after getting slammed by tropical storm eta the storm dumped up

biden and kamala harris. >> reporter: -- to the mayor of paris, who tweeted, "welcome back, america." and canada's justin trudeau, who spoke with biden today, and tweeted, "we've worked with each other before and we're ready to pick up on that work and tackle the challenges and opportunities facing our two countries." >> and mary, we know canadian prime minister justin trudeau said he's eager to start working with the new administration on covid and climate. and you also reported earlier today president-elect biden already has a number of moves planned for day one? tell us more. >> reporter: david, biden has a lengthy to do list, including undoing some of president trump's most controversial moves. biden says he will rejoin the paris climate accord and the world health organization. and overturn is so-called muslim ban. he is also vowing to reinstate daca and tackle immigration reforms. david, they have a lot of work to do. >> all right, mary bruce with us on a monday night. mary, thank you. >>> president trump offering no signs of conceding, pushing ahead with legal challenges, golfin

out or for example the paris climate deal out of the iran deal the j.c. p.o. a medal michael will hope that biden will do things like sign the u.s. back up to the paris climate deal we know the biden the said that something he'd like to do that the you might be able to work more closely with the u.s. on iran that they will be more discussion of that just generally relations between the e.u. and us will be a lot more predictable so that's u.s. relations what about the u.k. with the prime minister boris johnson was among some of the 1st leaders to send congratulations to the bride and harris team that imbiber is in london and says all eyes will be on what this means for the country's special relationship over the next few months. this point says to one issue of contention breck's it and trade deals now the the president elect has been quite forthright in his worries about where britain is going just 2 months ago he said this we can't allow the good friday agreement that bore that brought peace to northern ireland to become a casualty of brics it what does that mean now well if britain doesn't get a

crisis under president trump other biden concerns include the economy tackling racism and battling climate change that means that the u.s. will be rejoining the paris climate agreement. biden's latest message to the american people was dominated by the need to set aside partisanship and say unite in the face of this pandemic this is a crisis that affects everyone and i've said throughout this campaign i will be a president for every american. this election is over time to put aside the partisan partisanship and the rhetoric that designed to demonize what. is time to end the politicization of basic responsible public health steps might mask social distancing we have to come together to heal the soul of this country so that we can effectively address this crisis and as one country where hard working americans have each other's backs and we unite in a shared goal defeating this virus or earlier we asked our washington bureau chief in his poll what other measures president elect biden is planning to tackle this pandemic be relieved reached alex he said again i want to be the president fall of you that is indeed a different tone from what we kind of got

paris climate agreement? well, even during the vagaries of accounts over the last couple of days the vagaries of accounts over the last couple of dastoe bideneet about the paris climate agreement. the yes left on the 4th climate agreement. the yes left on the 11th of november. joe biden tweeted to say that in 77 days he would bring the us backing, that is the 20th of january, when he would be sworn in. he willjust have to sent a letter to the game saying that he wanted the us to be back in and they would be back in the fold, match a letter to the game saying that he wanted the us to be back in and they would be back in the fold, much at the delight of pulling out their hairat much at the delight of pulling out their hair at the lack of progress for the rest of the world. what is the role of america here as an influencer? how does it change how the rest of the world sees climate change? i think it is important. one of the key thing is the diplomats say about the election ofjoe biden is he believes in the science, he gives the credence back to the science because under president trump there was a lot of movement to cast doubt on the science o

it since the polls closed and now he repeated it tonight this is the number one action that the paris biden campaign or now vice president and president elect will be tossed to manage now you heard there the vice president elect saying that as soon as monday he'll be convening a corona virus taskforce he'll give the names but we we do know who is going to be heading that particular task force at this moment it is vivek murthy who's the former surgeon general and david kessler who's a former commissioner of the food and drug association another person who's going to be on that task forces dr marcella nunez smith who's a public health expert at yale university so we see already that real scientific heavyweights is being gathered around joe biden and his vice president and the president elect to start dealing with this pandemic he has introduced a plan before during the campaign he outlined the plan as he said there that they are going to get it into position to be able to translate the plan into action and to be able to start implementing that plan come january the 20th when he's formally ina

day one, joefrom biden will rejoin the paris agreement and undo some of the tariffs. top of agenda for executive order if it is a -- a biden victory? amos: i agree on day one there will be a rejoining of the paris agreement. you'll see in the first several inks some of the regulations the energy sector that would put in place by the obama administration that were withdrawn by the trump administration will be put back into play. they will announce new goals for the united states on energy. they will look to use the executive branch powers to implement new rules and regulations while in parallel working with congress for something that is more concrete and more permanent than trading executive orders every time there is a new administration. annmarie: what do you think his relationship will be like with mitch mcconnell, and at the same time trying to appease the most aggressive part of the democratic party? amos: i think the base of the democratic party remains the middle class in the united states. you said earlier in the program, states like michigan and minnesota and

i think one of the best examples of that is the paris climate accord and joe biden has said that if indeedpping the president he will sign us back into the paris climate agreement on day one. remember, when president trump pulled out he said it's because he represents the city of pittsburgh not paris. that's not the way joe biden views things but look at the paris climate agreement and what it does is puts the united states as a competitive disadvantage by countries like china, you know, basically bring jobs and manufacturers to the country because they will not have to play by the same rules as they do in the united states. what that means is a massive head to the united states economy and millions of jobs lost and we're talking industries like coal, natural gas and [inaudible] taking a massive hit from production losses while china in countries like india will do much better. that's not an america first policy and that's an american last policy. american worker last policy. steve: exactly. that such a great point and really shows what i was talking about there which is this difference be

has led the world in co2 emissions reductions since it exited the paris claimant accord under trump. biden's decision to rejoin would mean severe damage to the american economy. when he first joined paris he committed the u.s. to cut emissions 26% by 2025 as part of this "accord." but biden has promised to impose even more economically crippling climate policies. meanwhile, china will continue to get sweetheart exemptions. the cdc spent the four-year since a joint at the accord building more than 300 coal plants around the world. second, biden would rejoin the world health organization. after the fiasco with the w.h.o.'s work on the virus, trump was right to put the relationship on ice. "the new york times" the day before the election even reported, in praise of beijing, the w.h.o. concealed concessions to china and may have sacrificed the best chance to unravel the virus' origin. it agreed not to examine china's early response or begin investigating the animal source. it could not even secure a visit to wuhan, yet biden wants to put the u.s. taxpayers back on the hook for hundreds of millio

trump's administration's response to the virus other biden concerns include the economy tackling racism and climate change which means rejoining the paris climate agreement. biden has also called on americans to night in the face of the by dent endemic this is a crisis effectively results said throughout this campaign i will be a president for every american. this election is over time to put aside the partisan partisanship and the rhetoric that designed to demonize one. this time in the politicization of basic responsible public health steps like mask social distancing we have to come together to heal the soul of this country so that we can affectively addresses crisis as one country where hardworking americans have each other's backs and we shared goal defeating this virus. is washington bureau chief in this poll is following the president to the likes 1st steps she sent us this update from washington with more than 10000000 cold cases in the u.s. and over 270000 americans who died of the wire us president elect joe biden fulfilled his campaign promise and made the fight against the pandemic his number one priority and his 1st speech

we know there is delight in berlin and paris with biden's foreign policy plans. how much dread is there? well, i think further interest looking forward to engage with the new at midspan and it's also confident to find a compromise with paris to come up with some things like european offer for the americans. because i think there is broad consensus that we cannot just wait and sit and kind of fight about the concept of strategic autonomy, but not really come up with concrete ideas, how to improve the relationship and what the europeans can bring to the table. we know that donald trump, he alienated america's european allies, and at the same time he drove them towards each other like never before, did me. yes. and the one hand he did at the other, i think that rift in the transatlantic relationship is always also a rift within europe. just look at the reactions in sanford and the security at the trump presidency. and it was brought up through full of holes in the baltic states and several times that they felt much more secure than under obama. but they didn't see th

the fact that joe biden will rejoin the paris climate change accord, get the united states to sign back to the w.h.o., the world health organization in the midst of the pandemic. this has been warmly received because most people recognize that the united states is key and integral to the global institutions that exist today that president trump has turned his back on those. and that's -- that has not helped, for one, dealing with the global pandemic. and it's also sort of counted against many countries in trade relationships. the trade war between the united states and china. yeah, absolutely everyone around the world has been watching this election so closely. >> a closely watched election, not just in the united states but around the world. many leaders quickly sending messages of congratulations to president-elect joe biden. >> i look forward to forging a great partnership. >> it is clear now that the 46th president-elect is joe biden. >> even the uk's trump-friendly pm boris johnson shifting gears. >> i look forward very much to working with president biden. >> the win for biden is

and as joe biden and common at paris prepares to take over the white house many african leaders have wishes so what can the continent expect from a biden administration. it's good to have your company if you know pia's prime minister made insists his country will not descend into chaos that's despite reports of heavy casualties in fighting between the military and regional forces in ethiopia is to region that's in the north of the country near the border to eritrea ethiopia's federal government launched the offensive against forces of the to gripe people's liberation front last wednesday blaming them for and is haq on a military base now the t p l if dominates that ethiopia politics for decades that was until made came into office in 2018 since then the to gripe leadership has claimed the federal government is unfairly targeting their its new group in corruption crackdowns for his fost be accuses the t.p.m. if off attempting to destabilize the country. intends on perpetrating a culture of impunity and restoring. the un do people it's they trade in the past that people live border guar

you are going to see joe biden cop where former president obama left off, joining accords like the parismate record and really looking to strengthen a lot of u.s. partnershipssu, as u.s. involvement in organizations such as nato. ros: joe biden's transition team can get to work more effectively now because of what donald trump tweeted last night. he said that of the department that facilittes transition is being threatened, for the sake of her well-being, he said i am recommending what emily enter team do with regard to additional protocols and have told my team to do the same. nit is clear what that means. according to senioremocrat chuck schumer, iis as close to a concession of defeat as we are likely to get. there may be consequences of donald trump'elaying of the transition. this is a member of the obama 2008 transition team. >> it is not something that can't the overcome by the professionalism and expertise of the members of the biden-harris transition team, but it is significant. i remember in 2008-2009 when i was part of the transition team, literally we were starting to go into t

it becomes parmount for president biden, rejoining the paris health according, reinstalling different climate and regulations. and stimulus bill, that could push off the in-fighting democratic infighting as democrats try to gather around the issues and the new president and vice president. >> an interview that president did, not the president at the time, back in 2016, during the election, talking about what he thinks it would feel like to suffer defeat. here is what he said. back from 2016. i have never been there before. what trump said about golf and his fear of losing. stephen beginsburg said, one day will be walking down the nigeria way nobody will be looking. >> in life, i was successful. my father was a tough man, a good man. my father would praise me. thought i was the smartest person, he said to one of those big magazines, everything that he touches turn to gold as a young age. your pressure to live up to that? >> yes, i have been doing it my whole life. if there is a fear of anything it is unknown. >> so much of donald trump has been the mythology he created. yes, bankruptci
