World leaders have congratulated the president and Vice President a lot 1st on Twitter Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to take on the worlds greatest challenges with biden President Trump was on the golf course when the election was called for his rival he remains defiant and insists there have been voting irregularities observers were not allowed into the counting rooms i won the election he wrote trumps Attorney Says the campaign will keep fighting she just about the 700000 votes that President Trump was ahead by 2 days ago that disappeared. And we have no way of knowing because we are deprived of the right to inspect it if a single one of those ballots is legitimate on monday the trunk campaign insists it will launch a series of legal challenges for now it appears President Trump has no plans to concede can really help at aljazeera the white house. Trump may not be ready to leave the white house but leaders around the world are already congratulating president elect joe biden lets turn 1st to heart for cities in west jerusalem and arab israeli Prime Minister was only recently congratulated by them what did you have to say and what are you hearing from the palestinian leaders. Well thats right he was pretty late in the day compared to many other World Leaders some 12 hours later than most even those with Close Relationships with donald trump were congratulating joe biden and camel harris and i think the point that we just heard at the end of that report from kimberly about his refusal to concede the election just yet and the extreme closeness of netanyahu and President Trump is probably the reason on his twitter feed under a picture of netanyahu sitting with President Trump in the oval office he said that he can graduated joe biden and come a harris saying that hed had a 40 year long warm relationship with joe biden that he looked forward to working with both of them to advance the relationship between israel and United States but it wasnt the immediate congratulation message that he gave to President Trump after his election in 2016 he didnt even use the word president when congratulating joe biden i think that speaks to some domestic concerns as to how this will reflect on him given the fact that hes campaigned in these 3 elections very much on this relationship saying that hes in a Different League from other israeli politicians partly because of it one newspaper editor here saying that he has a failing grade for trying to repair some of the bipartisan damage thats been done in terms of the relationship between the Israeli Administration and democrats no one really expects that the relationship between israel and the u. S. Of course will turn on a dime because of this or that it would still be strong both biden and harris are seen as centrists and people who very much support a strong israel u. S. Relationship but it could affect specific policies of course when it comes to iran how will that renegotiation potentially of a deal between United States and iran on the Nuclear Issue be handled and also the trump plan. Which under which there was all that talk of the potential of israel annexed in large parts of the occupied west bank and so that brings us to the palestinians not your shaft Senior Advisor to president are busts of the trump era was the worst for the palestinians and that its and is again or a victory of the veteran p. L. O. Figure how narrow is saying that america had been de trumped and celebrating it on that ground there are some who are saying that the palestinians need to stop looking at the americans now as the leader of the process look for a more multilateral procedure of trying to solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict and that we shouldnt be sitting on tenterhooks waiting for a new occupant of the white house but the idea that certainly an extension would be off the table the idea of the trump plan is now dead and the idea that the entire process at least has some more optimistic more optimism as far as our sins are concerned is a very important issue we havent yet heard from president of us but we wait to see what he says absolutely and we do expect changes in that region ok how many thanks for joining us there. As here in doha with us for a look at what impact of biden presence he will have here in the gulf region and hashim should be expect any sort of change in behavior by gulf nations particularly when it comes to their blockade of cattle that must happen law for a different reason this is a Pivotal Moment in the gulf region for Different Reasons people think that the. Election of biden will have far reaching consequences in this part of the world for Different Reasons one of the 1st leaders to step in and congratulate joe biden was the emir of qatar certain him but hammered. And the general sentiment here is that with biden the chances for and to the blockade impose in qatar or by or qatar by the side is there but it is the egyptians will definitely have to. Because they see him by then someone who could put more pressure. On the leadership as opposed to biden who were supposed to trump who was widely seen as someone who would cushion the society is against any International Pressure now the big question is what is the next forward for the leadership in saudi arabia saudi arabia is the most powerful country in the region it prides itself on being the protector of sunni islam but the taken into account that biden was part of the same ministration that abandoned there were barak in 2011 the when there was a wind of change in this part of the world King Abdullah of saudi arabia because of the 1st book with obama and said we want you to support our friend obama said im sorry that i want to be able to do that in 2015 the americans struck a deal with the iranians that was seen as an ultimate act of betrayal i was in saudi arabia in 2016 when obama was there it was a somber atmosphere the saudis felt like they were betrayed a year later when trump was in saudi arabia i was there covering his visit for english the feeling suddenly change they saw in him a someone who could suddenly position saudi arabia as. A key player in the region what happened after that was phenomenal by all proportions. Sidelined his cousin who was a crown prince he became the crown prince of saudi arabia now there is a new guy in the white house and they are pretty much concerned about what might happen next absolutely hashim the moment thanks very much as go over to asad beg for reaction from tehran very interesting to know what the iranian leaders are saying about this effort. Well there wont be any messages congratulating joe biden from the ron what we have seen has some politicians here calling Donald Trumps time in office an end of an era the Vice President hare. He said that he had been adventurism and warmongering he said that he had inflicted inhumane sanctions on iran and the speaker of parliament mohamed bucket valuable for now what he tweeted were some verses of the core on a video of the leader of his blog predicting Donald Trumps loss but also referring to donald trump as a pharaoh an iranian culture when someone is really considered really arrogant theyre referred to as a pharaoh but they will be some hope that joe biden will return to that 2015 nuclear deal that there will be some easing of those sanctions but however however theyre not quite sure what policy joe biden will adopt now he has said he will return to the United States to that 2015 nuclear deal as long as iran has strict adherence to those commitments but iran may challenge that mo iran will say well we began to scale back our commitments to that nuclear deal because United States pulled out so the United States may have to return to the deal 1st before iran actually takes any steps joe biden also wants to add some extra conditions on to that nuclear deal again there may be resistance from the her on because theyve already compromised and theres nothing stopping the president coming along in 4 years time and doing exactly what donald trump has done to iran so there is some apprehension but also some hope that there will be some vital relief for the iranian economy thats been crippled under u. S. Sanctions ok a setback many thanks ray is the view from tehran and Simona Fulton is in baghdad for us and up to 3000. 00 u. S. Troops are expected to be leaving iraq by the end of this year how engage them into those baghdad hope that the u. S. Is going to remain undivided and. Well several iraqi leaders have come forth to extend their congratulations to president elect joe biden on his projected victory but they have so far not offered any details as to which direction they would like u. S. Policy towards iraq to take Prime Minister mr did tweet that he would like to strengthen the strategic ties between the 2 countries which is probably a hint at the Strategic Dialogue that has been ongoing for the past few months which aims at redefining the political military economic and cultural relationship between those 2 countries so its unclear at the moment to what extent there will be continuing in this process but certainly in some quarters of the government there will be hope that the relationship between the do u. S. And iraq will be expanded to touch on more areas because the trumps the Trump White House ahead a relatively narrow focus when it comes to iraq in the few statements that President Trump made on iraq he appeared to focus on u. S. Business interests in iraq and also on using iraq as a base to counter iranian influence in the region which is of course something that Iraqi Government officials have taken issue with they have seen u. S. Actions for example the killing of the money on iraqi soil as violating iraqi sovereignty so many people expect that joe biden will take a more conciliatory approach to iran which will also of course reflect the policy in iraq itself but the country is quite divided on this issue there are some iraqis that supported trumps relatively aggressive stance towards iran as they saw it as a containing irans influence while others while others opposed it so it remains to be seen which direction joe biden will take indeed ok so might have alternate thanks very much for wrapping up our International Reaction to bidens victory to president elect youre watching aljazeera i will bring you more on the u. S. After the break. Pride in india kama harriss ancestral village celebrates a victory. However got a lot of quiet weather across much of europe at the moment you can see last week clear skies that does mean fog and frost issues of course but by warming up fairly nicely for the most part winds coming in from a northerly general nor the direction across at least the side if you have to somewhat cooler here but the real weather action is over towards the west we got this little gang of weather systems making their way through and thats bringing more wet sand windy weather into spain and portugal have had flooding problems here will see some showers once again fading across southern parts of france eventually that west the weather does make its way across much of western europe pashley say a good part of the British Isles the low countries the part of france seeing more wet weather quite in the middle part slushy dry a little bits and pieces of low cloud just suppressing the temperatures somewhat but down towards the south because see some rather lively showers across had a society of the mediterranean and some of those showers also affecting the far north of africa so northern parts of egypt could see some wet weather some sharon coming in here for a few showers there also pushing their way down into libya you notice there was to go on through the next couple of days to Central Africa thats for the makeup of well the seasonal rains from rains remain of course we see that whats the weather pushing across towards could bomb southern parts of nigeria to guyana. To drive their industrial expansion and european powers colonised huge areas of the world rich resources so free labor and vast lands were exploited in the name of civilization and wealth until the colonies decided theyd had enough in a new 3 part documentary series out of syria expose the history suffering and legacy of frances imperial past. Not in tears french to colonise ation coming soon. Hello again you with aljazeera and has reminder of our top stories this hour joe biden has delivered a message of hope and a unity after declaring victory in the u. S. President ial election Vice President elects kemal harrisons also making history shes the 1st woman and 1st person of color to hold the job. Present donald trump was playing golf when biden was declared the winner of the election he has not conceded as says hell go to courts to make sure the election laws are up held. But there have been celebrations in cities across the United States from new york in the east to los angeles and the west crowds have been gathering on the streets to chair dance and play music. Ok lets bring in steve cohen and singapore hes a senior fison lotty associates and was a deputy general counsel at the u. S. Department of transportation good to have you with us joining us there from singapore had a lot of look at the International Reaction in a little bit now whats happening in the u. S. In such moments as can change now for the United States but is binds on a man who can unify the country i mean i think he certainly can and look the country wants to be unified thats the message that joe biden ran on he received more votes than anyone in history in that country has to come together democrats and republicans alike to beat the pandemic and so joe biden is going to that is going to be his 1st focus as president hes already worked on that in this transitional phase that started back in september and so expect to make some progress there about why didnt he win the blue way the democrats were predicting why did it become so close well i guess i may think it wasnt all that close if you look at the popular vote where joe biden received a majority it wasnt the blue wave it might have been in part that some of that democratic messaging when it came to defunding of the police or when it came to universal health care where voters said you know we want joe biden to be president but we want to check on the democratic agenda and thats where were going to keep a Republican Majority Senate and so right now it looks like theyll be a Democratic House Republican Senate and a Democratic White House so the public wants to see the 2 parties come together even bets the message that was delivered a time still has 75 days and office he may be a lame duck president but he is angry and he is refusing to concede what might he do. Well eg if you say he is president in till january 19th or noon on on january 20th he can do a lot he can issue a lot of executive orders on things when it comes to immigration when it comes to sanctions against countries for Human Rights Violations or for unfair trade practices like they have a case going on now against vietnam because the Trump Administration believes their currency is devalued and its hurting american trade so there is a lot that the Trump Administration can still do as he is president in till january 20th not joe biden can undo some of that if its under executive order but it doesnt mean itll itll be a smooth 2 months if the Trump Administration doesnt want to be but how isolated as donald trump now within the Republican Party well i think he has a little bit of influence now as you see so some of the republicans especially those who want to run for president in 2024 they want to keep the trump base with them so they are going to defend the president s right to a recount theyre going to defend some of his language on fraud but that will start to go away when the president goes away on on Inauguration Day so i think the rhetoric will stay with some republicans but others like the Pennsylvania Legislature the republicans are said they are not going to contest the election theyre not going to put in different delegates other than those for joe biden when it comes to the Electoral College so youre seeing the process of moving away from donald trump already beginning but it will not end until after he leaves office and then there will be the fight within the Republican Party to to pick up the trump populist mantle ok steve and we will be continuing this conversation in the coming hours but for the moment thank you very much thank you.
