and that is a way to revenge his loss. —— kemal harris. —— kamala harris.rters think that biden one, only 3% of people according to one poll thing that trump one. so his supporters, except for the most hard—core, they acknowledge that biden won by millions of votes. how much damage do you think this is doing, having someone think this is doing, having someone undermine the legitimacy of the votes? it is definitely damaging in terms of republicans on capitol hill being slow to acknowledge biden as the winner and so when he comes into office in two months time they will not be as inclined to work with him because their supporters will think that he is illegitimate in some way, even if they acknowledge that he won, they will not want to help them in any part of his agenda, especially when the need to repair the economy and be back coronavirus is so important these days. but i think in a few years this may be washed over and america... remember after 2008, many people said that america would be permanently damaged by george w bush and barack 0bama was able to b

kemal harris will make history, becoming the first black and asian and female member of the government—— kamala harris. we will have more on the us election inafew we will have more on the us election in a few minutes. first in the uk, a socially distanced remembrance sunday commemoration has been taking place. people were urged to join the traditional two—minute silence at 11 o'clock on their doorsteps. at the cenotaph in whitehall, no members of the public were allowed to attend, and only 26 veterans marched instead of the usual 10,000. let's have a look. big ben chimes the hour some of the key moments today at the cenotaph in london. covid has brought a lot of changes to the way remembrance sunday has been marked today. some people have stood on their doorsteps, others have watched services on television. but a group of military veterans have come up with a unique and safe way to remember their comrades — a drive—in remembrance service. it took place at the thruxton airfield in hampshire, from where duncan kennedy reports. this was a different kind of gathering. an airfield, not a m

but she also said that they were carrying on with their work, and joe biden and kemal harris have allng policy meetings. as you mention, the transition website as well. and we know thatjoe biden will put together a task force to tackle coronavirus, because as the aftermath of the election plays out, the situation with coronavirus is getting worse in america. it is nearly 10 million recorded cases, and mr biden had said during his election campaign that he would try and tackle the virus and get the country back on track, and that's what he is wanting to do. he is expected to get together a team of more than a dozen scientists and technology experts to come up with a safe vaccine that they can hopefully deliver to the american people. you are right, it is going the wrong direction. since election day, we have been slightly taking our eye off it. 5000 have died since tuesday. 30 states hit a new seven day average in the past week, 42 states training in the wrong direction, and a new high, a new record yesterday, with 126,000 new infections, so he will need this task force to hit the grou

biden pledges to bring a divided united states together and makes history with his running mate kemal harris set to be the 1st female vice president. what a testament it is to joe's character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his vice. that nora karl.

well if joe biden and kemal harris ultimately wins this election they have made a lot of promises 0 to the black lives matter organization and they have talked so much about reimagining policing defunding the police they've made a lot of promises here's what here's what's going to happen i believe is that american life is going to continue as it is and american police officers are going to have to continue to use deadly force so you're going to have at some point somebody is going to get shot by a police officer and there's going to be a big shock to the people that voted for joe biden is that all the sudden the police don't stop using force we're going to continue to go on and do police work and i don't think that biden and harris are going to be able to keep the promises that they have made to fundamentally change how law enforcement does business well sucking it's a kind of a ted as old as time that a politician who wants to get into the highest seat on the lawn wants to promise as much as possible but then realizes that it's not that easy while we don't envy you it's a tough couple

presidential election vice president elect kemal harris is making history as the 1st woman and minority to hold the job. president donald trump was playing golf one buys them was declared the winner of the election has not conceded and says he will go to court to make sure the election laws are op held. but there's been celebrations in cities across the united states from new york in the east to los angeles and the west crowds have gathered on the streets to cheer dance and play music. now we bring you more on the u.s. election in just a moment but 1st we want to bring you some breaking news we're hearing there's been an escalation in the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia azerbaijan's president here. says his troops are now in control of sushi now sushi is one of the most important cities in this fight for nagorno-karabakh region given its to teach it position overseeing the regional capital we will be bringing you more on this breaking news just as soon as we get it. but now let's get back to our top story the reaction to the u.s. election of joe biden an african leaders have wel

congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the united states and to kemal a harris on her 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 kemal a 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 the irish prime minister talked about joe biden being a good friend to ireland let's not forget that joe biden has irish roots so there might have been a lot of people rooting for him there and nicolas to the 1st minister of scotland not just congratulating biden but also mentioning the fact that harris as voice president elect becomes the 1st woman to hold that position in u.s. history so a really big achievement but while the majority of people have been warmly congratulating the democratic

michael moore, the great filmmaker has been tweeting about, kemal harris. can we assume that vice president, a vice president harris will not now be advocating the locking up of innocent people for prison labor like he did in california? well, if you remember who the president is, i mean, joe biden was one of the primary authors of the 1904 crime bill, which was a you know, a kind of signature moment in the history of mass incarceration in this country. he certainly didn't have the reputation of being any kind of advocate for criminal justice reform. heading into this election cycle, the political winds of change somewhat, and both harris and biden have adopted the pose of people who are, are going to be on the side of criminal justice reform. but i, again, i think looking back at their history, it would be unwise to expect that to happen. well, that'll depress a lot of progressives here in the pit of america. what do you take thing from faith? people like kaohsiung sond as shots across the bow. as warning shots, biden harris first, there was just a mordant

of scotland not just congratulating biden but also mentioning the fact that kemal harris as vice president elect becomes the 1st woman to hold that position in u.s. history so a really big achievement but while the majority of people have been warmly congratulating the democratic there are others who may be feeling a little bit less room towards them at the moment including slovakia's prime minister who on wednesday said that he thought trump and won the election and in fact has previously described biden as possibly being somebody who had become one of the weakest presidents in u.s. history let's not forget of course that melania trump the current 1st lady is from slovakia i want to ask you as well we heard there about reaction from angola marcal and so let's take a look how to biden presidency change relations with germany for example well i'm glad merkel is a staunch politician somebody who would work with anyone and we've seen her try to work with trump over the last few years but clearly germany is hoping for easier relations in the next 4 years it wants to perhaps strengthen that tra

you can make funny jokes about kemal harris tell my conniving in the background. funny. i think trump made late-night comedy great again but "the five" still beats all those guys in the ratings. we don't even have writers! imagine how funny i would be if we had a writer! i'd have to look into that. >> greg: juan, they are looking forward to diversity. aren't they responsible for the lack of diversity in the first place? >> juan: i think you are, cleary making fun of trump, there isn't much diversity in trump's world. biden at least to me comes across as a normal guy. on the amtrak train in the night, a guy you were talking about big politicians -- >> jesse: that was 20 years ago. >> dana: i rode the amtrak with them in years. he was shocked. wanted to get away from me as fast as he could. >> juan: big time politicians use their influence, his son went to war. he suffered losses in his life. the problem is he's boring, he's normal, he's a normal guy. for a comedian, normal is not funny. what jesse laid out is a lot of stuff you could make fun of even if you were a

if you wanted to vote for kemal harris, he would have to vote for joe biden. -- the parties could essentially nominate someone in a matter of hours. just the executive committee of the democratic party. if the president-elect dies after election day -- say joe biden or donald trump when the election on november 3 and it isn't yet the first monday after the second wednesday when the electors meet, say one of them dies, the electoral college could nominate whoever they want. they could vote for the dead elect if they want to they will be thrown out by congress. presumably most of them would vote for the vice president or the vice president elect. if donald trump died they would probably all vote for mike pence, if joe biden died they would vote for kamala harris. it would be chaotic, that is how it would work. comes in ifreally the electoral college has voted, they nail this out the congress, and sadie president elect the electoral college dies, this is a problem. not cast ballots were in congress is compelled to vote them out. they cannot by law elect someone who is dead. now congress has to p

he has been campaigning there today and he will be joined alongside his running mate, kemal harris, byn election eve rally there. pennsylvania is one of the states that both candidates are in covetous leave. it is one that donald trump won by less than a percentage point back in 2016. joe biden is currently leading there in most of the poles. thank you, david willis they are covering every twist and turn for us, as are many others. and in our business coverage we will be having a look at what the us election means in terms of trade between the worlds biggest and, notably, china, depending on who wins this residential race. all of that is to come in our business coverage. the head of the world health organization is self—isolating after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. meanwhile countries across europe currently experiencing a second wave of the pandemic are continuing to re—introduce restrictions with the exemption of slovakia, which is trying to test its way out of the health crisis, as mark lobel reports. england's lockdown is just days away but a

but it does give me incredible pleasure to see that kemal harris was able to achieve what she achieved. and as she said in one of her speeches, and it was truly incredible to just hear from her tipping her hat to biden saying he had the audacity to pick me. and that really means still still means something in 2020. america was serenely looking at the appointments going forward. i've been wondering how does a president elect trying to decide who to appointed to really key positions if he doesn't actually know who is going to be in charge of the senate until january, because of those run offs. if he then having to be conservative about who he thinks he can actually get confirmed. well, right now we're seeing president elect biden be conservative for other reasons. he's being very measured day and look, he's the same man we saw running the democratic primary. this is the same attitude, the same temperament, very steady hand, which is why i believe so many of us across party lines for him. i'm a lifelong republican. i'm still very much what i consider a small c conservative, but i can appr

you at the city hall right in the middle of philadelphia and as you can see this is solid biden kemal a harris ticket supporter country if you will days though trump supporter near and far here to spoil the celebratory feel all this hot and now let's just do it for fun up there you see at the this tower on top of this tower you can probably see it this is william penn william penn and this is the irony that's why there the crowd is right there william penn the founder of this english colony pennsylvania and the 6 in the 17 hundreds and of course famous for being a fan of democracy even the constitution took a few cues from william penn and his democratic idea so in that's regard this is quite iconic and those are yes you're right and. very heavy people here all around and you have people marching around here in a march celebratin celebrating the biden when biden when yes there will be and people here are keenly aware there will be a court challenge according to the president's campaign according to the president but nobody is really concerned who we talked to plenty of people and they have no

to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and kemal a 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 we heard from a former member of the european parliament among others who categorize biden as a friendly face for the. it probably going to send that wouldn't be very. old by then and then sold the us supreme court it will not be sold for and it would stay the new administration but said he. would like to have one close relationship with by then and they would try to destroy some trade the issues that say. during this is the the station if the usa would be a more global trade they've been dead and so it's nato so nato would be more active i sink it in the europa league would be more students than europeans and it really would like a strong america but we've seen that they've tried with trump in power to find a leader in europe in the 1st 1st taste of matter

to trade and security the americans have chosen their president congratulations joe biden and kemal a 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. getting some insight on what a biden win the means for the rest of the world we are joined by jim what came to my history and international relations professor of the lebanese university in beirut welcome to you how does a biden win translate to the middle east in general general. well i believe that his victory will not waiver the u.s. support to israel. actually he already. he will build on what has that you've already and normalizing relations between israel and some other states. with regard to put example with saudi arabia u.a.e. and egypt i believe that biden will distance himself from these countries and will try to. raise the issue of human rights one more time with these leadership countries with this. issue. of course with the guns to turkey i bel

joe biden is the president elect of the united states, kemal harris of the vice president elect.. they hand off of the baton needs to be seamless and easy as possible. time for him to leave the stage. but ryan, who is going to be the one to tell the president that the one to tell the president that the fat lady has sung? -- but ron. good afternoon, laura. i think my former boss president george w. bush tried that last week. with a little u nfortu nately success. i tried that last week. with a little unfortunately success. i think it will take mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, it will take kevin mccarthy coming to house minority leader, and other senior leaders and the respective parts of our governors, members of congress to save mr president, enough is enough. and remember, somebody very familiar on these airwaves, the bbc, glynn bail: come a veryjunior member of congress from maine who went down to the white house to tell president nixon it is time for you to go. —— bill cohan. it is time for president trump to go. ryan christie, thank you so much for joining us. ——

kemal and harris —— kamala harris has made history!in a few years. people close to the president saying that they realise this is over, james. the bbc correspondent is in philadelphia, it was in the end pennsylvania and indeed votes from philadelphia that nudged joe biden over the threshold to give him 270 electoral college votes. it took all of us by surprise. we were asking my producer do we know? and sadly the networks decided to declare it. fox news as well, everybody now on board with a declaration. were you aware it would be the 30,000 threshold that put him over and gave him the 270? well, we spoke like this yesterday, didn't we, when you mentioned cbs had said that if it is between 20 and 30,000, we will call it. 20,000 passed, 25,000 parts, we got to 28,000 votes between the two men and still nothing. when i woke up men and still nothing. when i woke up this morning, i thought are they going to call it? is cnn going to call it? is one of the us networks going to do this? then in the last half an hour or going to do this? then

president elect joe biden and vice president elect kemal a harris on the monday on their victory in last week's election adding that it will take strong leadership in the world coming together to overcome this pandemic we need to remind you leadership. on the media will trust me to have accountability. and. the fundamental you qualities to live on the road all so many of the world's problems ixion important i wanted to lead from the ravages of this fundamental and i just want you going to divisions that are only to drive us out of that into their child is over i'm held i'm saying to. future. while this may seem like a very political statement from the w.h.o. it should be noted that earlier this year the trumpet ministration took steps to terminate the u.s. relationship with the organization however leaving requires a 12 month the notice setting an exit date of july 6th 2021 now following the announcement back in july then the candidate joe biden said he would rejoin the w.h.o. on his 1st day in office. so with all of this in mind let's go ahead and take another look at the spread and tre

analyst dave thank you very much for coming on the program so we've just seen a joe biden and kemal a harris give a triumphant address to their supporters do you think it's time for president trump to throw in the towel. not at all there is an enormous amount of circumstantial evidence of self evident mathematical mere impossibilities and of course no matter how much the media talks like it's a fait accompli it is necessary for secretaries of state in each state as your reporter said to sign off and certify this election and i would imagine there are quite a few of them who are very nervous about officially attaching their name to something that turns out to be it's overturned in court not too long from now and i have a strong feeling that some of the will be i don't want to go down to the list of individual evidences but i do want to point out there are teams of lawyers in every state with question marks on them and their purpose is to put together their part of a case that is going to be presented to the public and to justice as a full case that shows that the election outcome was altered

maybe not traditional republican voters, who crossed over in droves, rejecting joe biden and kemal harris'swhere the party has moved to on the democrat side are you going to be able to convince people that defunding the police is a good idea. 0r pushing towards socialist programmes is a good idea. ithink towards socialist programmes is a good idea. i think that is where president trump is able to excel, but i think he would do well in the battle ground states like pennsylvania where joe biden has been called the third senator from pennsylvania because of his his wife being there but also from another in lying state and began the fracking issue are significant and it should not be discounted how important and crucial that was for pennsylvania and we will wait to see the results and we will wait to see the results and we will wait to see the results and we still don't know, but even the fact that it's even this close that they cannot call the race there it shows that it has had a huge impact, joe biden flip—flopping on that issue. amanda, thanks for joining us. let's bring rita back m, joinin

harry fosset reports from west show slip knew that his son would never return home from prison alive. 46 year old kemal was sentenced to 6 life sentences plus 50 years by an israeli military court in 2003 for killing 6 israelis. during the 2nd intifada, or uprising in early november, he died from throat cancer, but his body has not been returned to his family. how the shaheed i just want to see his body. this is for hidden pray for him. this would comfort me to bury him according to religious law. even the crows bury it. in total, israel has withheld the bodies of more than $300.00 palestinians going back more than 50 years. the majority lie in numbered graves. it's a practice that attracted widespread condemnation as a form of collective punishment of palestinian families until 2017, the bodies of prisoners who died in custody in military jails would routinely be released. a change in policy meant that if a prisoner had carried out an attack deemed exceptionally severe, or was identified as a hamas member or sympathiser, their body could be withheld. currently, there are 6 prisoners bodies, news reall
