like so many others, desperate for relief peter alexander, nbc news, wilmington. >>> in california, high winds are prompting new warnings of late season fire danger as steve patterson reports many are still waiting for federal money to rebuild after years of wildfire destruction. >> reporter: it is the worst wildfire season in california history. and the alarm is still sounding tonight the national weather service issuing new red flag warnings for millions of southern california residents predicting gusts up to 70 miles an hour. the warning comes as many wildfire victims from years past ar still waiting on relief california received more than $1.3 billion in federal aid after thousands of homes were leveled during the devastating wildfires in 2017 and 2018 but with funding tangled in a bureaucratic red tape most homeowners are still waiting to see a single cent to help them rebuild according to state records the 2017 tubbs fire leveled 80-year-old linda adrian's santa rosa home. three years later she's still in temporary housing isolated in a small space. >> i don't know what to do. i'm

president-elect biden not speaking to mitch mcconnell one day after election day but we sensed something in wilmington today not seen in washington at all really. a sense of urgency for some type of economic relief bill. the president-elect said he urged congress to do something in this lame duck session but he said it would just be a start. this is clearly front and center in his plan for his first 100 days in office which start in

he is out front in wilmington, delaware tonight. and err of course just moments away from president-elect biden giving a major speech to the entire nation, one which will be the polar opposite in tone and tenor from anything that we have heard in the past four years. but does he expect any of these republican supporters of the president in congress to listen and to finally and verbally clearly accept his victory? >> reporter: well, erin, it certainly is yet another victory speech that joe biden is going to give tonight. we cannot recall a president in modern time, in fact there has not been one, who has had the opportunity to give speech after speech after speech affirming his victory. we've seen so many of them here in wilmington. we'll see another one tonight. but i am told he is going to directly confront what really has been an assault on democracy. he's not going to talk about his own ambitions, how this was painful to joe biden. he's going to talk about how the institutions have stood but now is the time to heal. and there are

the al-jazeera wilmington delaware well u.s. attorney general william barr has resigned and will step down next week to donald trump this month by failing to support the president's unfounded claims of election fraud but since his resignation letter said the allegations would still be pursued tweeted that their relationship had been a very good one it's here now from aaron cole who's a political commentator and the director of debates at the university of michigan he says that trumpet chose to announce paul's resignation on the day that biden's victory was confirmed by the electoral college. i believe the president asked for the resignation. when to make this announcement and i was slippery. with this. knowledge of this new. presidential always. cycle and never forgot one. thing the last month or so to see what happens. yeah this is something commonly seen with other cabinet members and other social contract in this race and a lot. less monster investigating election fraud. not a plea not in the under investigation or election.

let's go straight to cnn's joe johns, live for us in wilmington. joe, how does the president-elect plan to get all of this done? >> well, that's the question. and a lot of people have been asking, because he has floated that idea of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days before. if you talk to the experts, they make it pretty clear that it is at least realistic, i think dr. fauci has, in fact, said at one time or another that it's doa e doable, but it's certainly ambitious. so, the question is, how do you do that? it's really in three parts. you have to deal with the g geography of the united states, which is enormous. you have to deal with the supply and you have to deal with the demand. the supply, of course, is the big question. if you're going to vaccinate that many people, you have to have enough vaccines. so, the way he's going to solve that, he says, is the defense production act. he also addressed the question of demand, tha

as skyler henry reports live from wilmington delaware. >> reporter: good evening, the attorney general's words today really echoes what secretaries of state around the country have said all along in that they have not seen any reports, or haven't seen any evidence of widespread voter fraud in terms of the 2020 election, despite what the president has been putting out. that is certainly significant because the attorney general is seen as someone who is typically in lockstep with the president. but as you mentioned, things are moving along, especially here in willington delaware is the president elect and his administration are trying to fill out who will be on his economic team. attorney general william barr is breaking with president trump saying in an interview with the associated press that the justice department has not uncovered any evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election. the trump campaign immediately responded. saint "with all due respect to the attorney general there has not been any a semblance of the department of justice investigat

in wilmington delaware where british health chiefs say the rollout of the vaccine will be a marathon not a sprint the just a cool challenges mean the majority of vulnerable people will have to wait until early next year for their job and support from these banks in london. it is happening a turning point in the global fight against a virus that killed more than a 1000000 people around the world 90 year old grandmother margaret keenan made history becoming the 1st person to be vaccinated with the pfizer bio and take drug outside a trial she encourage others to follow her lead. group for it because it's free and it's the best thing that's ever happened and the moment do please go for it in a somewhat dramatic turn the 2nd vaccine went to a man called william shakespeare a poetic star perhaps to a new chapter in the fight against coronavirus more than half of the people who've died of the virus in the u.k. over 80 they're getting the injection 1st along with the elderly in care homes and their carers unused doses are going to frontline medical staff the british government's call this a

he will be here with biden in wilmington.here has been some pushback though on the hill from members of their own party on a potential waiver. austin would need a congressional waiver because he's only been required for four years from the military. frau law mandates you need to be out for seven. those waivers are quite wear. there was one given to james madison during the trump administration. we'll see how that plays out on the hill but we will see them later this afternoon in wilmington, kate. >> absolutely, jessica. thank you. >>> joe biden is also facing new pressure on the makeup -- more pressure and new pressure on the makeup of his cabinet. the naacp asking the president-elect to create an entirely new cabinet level post. the civil rights star and adviser to the president focused exclusively on racial justice, diversity and equity. the head of the naacp met with the president-elect and his team just yesterday about this and more. joining me now is the president of the naacp derrick johnson. good to see you, derrick. t

i'll explain that in a moment we are expecting joe biden to speak in a few hours from here and wilmington as a result of this vote say look the battle for the soul of america has now been won we can now turn the page the the various checks and balances of american democracy have held because after all as you said although the states did certify his victory where he did he won the election is have voted as they were expected to win that in the lower courts trump has lost almost every case that he brought and many of those judges were republican appointed the supreme court some of his own appointees rejected the donald trump campaigns arguments out of hand so biden will make that statement about you know i can now we can we can move on however it's not over yet because the next stage is january the 6th when all of these electoral college votes end up and kept counted in congress and certified in congress and there are rumblings that some republicans may make another last symbolic stand it's thought depending on whether donald trump puts his weight behind the symbolic stand and that weren't

christmas let's get more on this now for she has returned to our correspondent he's standing by wilmington delaware this news just coming out in the last half hour shihab has been a good relationship between the 2 but the last few weeks have been quite fraught. right aren't we we should always remember when we talk about william barr this wasn't the 1st time he's been attorney general he was attorney general under george h.w. bush the 1st bush and even then we knew there was a great believer in presidential executive authority and he advised bush on all sorts of things which certainly historians now in a lot of people then said were pretty pretty legally dodgy iran contra of the invasion of panama or whatever but he's always been a man who believed in the power of the presidency and under trump he was very much taking up that role once again as congress was subpoenaing trump and all the investigations that were under way it was always he said look frankly you can ignore congress so therefore this is a very good for like that a great deal whether this is because of any particular affection

jobs report now get out more on that a moment from kristen salumi who's in joe biden's hometown wilmington 1st id gallica in miami and florida became the 1st u.s. day i think to surpass a 1000000 confirmed cases of covert 1900 tell us how people and the health care workers in hospitals are coping. i mean the picture in this state is pretty much the picture across the entire nation people are becoming increasingly aware that we are now heading into potentially the worst few months of this pandemic this state as you said has reached over a 1000000 new cases almost 800000 deaths but in the last 3 days we've had over 2500 deaths on 3 consecutive days on thursday that was almost 3000 so that is telling you where this is going and dr anthony fauci from the center for disease control and prevention is now saying that the the after effect of people gathering together for thanksgiving hasn't even hit yet he thinks that is yet to come he's now issued a warning saying people should wear masks both indoors and outdoors now we know that the vaccines are on the way but the 1st meeting with the food and

yeah interesting news coming out late here from wilmington president joe biden saying that he intends to ask americans to mask up once he takes office for a 100 days the 1st inkling we have of how his response may be different than the current administration's he was speaking to us network c.n.n. and described his plans he said where possible he would mandate mass for example on interstate travel on airplanes and in federal buildings but otherwise would seek to influence americans by his example in this that it was important for him and the vice president themselves to wear a mask as an example of course mask wearing has become controversial in some parts of the united states so there could be some pushback on that front but both biden seeming to stress that there would be an end date that this was for a limited time $100.00 days to get the virus under control he also talked about the fact that his plan was not to close the economy but to offer clear guidance not to impose strict not to impose specific lockdown so much as guidance he talked about if restaurants and bars need to close
