Well lets go live now to alan fischer whos standing by for us in washington d. C. Allan messages of congratulations have been rolling in from leaders around the world for president elect joe biden a but the president himself trump has not conceded yet tell us what the what hes planning and his team are planning from tomorrow monday. Well hes been on the golf course for most of the day is obviously just come off because about 10 minutes ago he tweeted out since when does the lame stream media get to the clear who the president as well the answer to that is the project what the polls are suggesting and theyve done it for many many elections so he is obviously still upset about that just in the last few hours weve heard from george w. Bush who sent his congratulations to joe biden said hed spoken to the Vice President elect he was a good man who won the opportunity to lead our country and said like barack obama and donald trump before him he would be praying for his success but there has been no call between donald trump and joe biden absolutely no contact which would suggest that hes not going to call them anytime soon with a concession instead his intention is to go to the courts hes been backed up by some of his supporters on the sunday chat shows here in the United StatesLindsey Graham for instance who was a critic then became a fan he said its really up to the president to fight on and the head of the newsmax or organization which runs one of the t. V. Channels the donald trump really likes he says he sees no sign of donald trump announcing a concession anytime soon so theyre going to go to the courts on monday morning they are alleging that there was voter fraud that people who should have been allowed to vote were given mail in ballots that dead people even voted the problem is they really some of these issues in the courts before know but they havent been able to produce any evidence let me tell you that special hotline that was set up by the Truck Campaign and the Republican Party asking people to get in touch either by phone or by email if they had any evidence of voter tampering or that was actually besieged by gloating joe biden finds who left a string of messages taunting donald trump and his campaign yeah i guess when you hear joe biden talk in his acceptance speech about wanting to be the president for the United States trying to unite everyone all everything thats going on in the background makes that seem so much harder i guess and it already is easy got quite a quite a difficult task ahead of him doesnt it. Well flip back 4 years dont try made a similar sort of statement that he would govern for everyone whether they be republicans democrats or independents and of course when he took office within 24 hours it started a center as press secretary to lie about the size of an inauguration crowd insisting they were much bigger than barack obama is that didnt get him off on the best possible food its going to be difficult for joe biden to unite the country but you get the feeling that people are tired theyre tired of all the infighting but the reality is 70000000 people voted for donald trump they are not happy with the result many of that 70000000. 00 believe that donald trump is absolutely right to go to court to try and test whether or not he was robbed of the election there will be many even after the court cases if they rule in favor of joe biden who will believe that he was rob of the election anyway we are already seeing suggestions of that in some of the dark corners of the internet and that will feed the conspiracy theories which will rule on until 2024 some republicans have come out and they have ignore lege that joe biden is the president elect among them laurie hogan who is the governor of maryland hes expected to run for the republican president ial nomination and 2024 and also mitt romney who of course ran for president himself 8 years ago and had to make that concession speech even though hours before he was convinced he was going to went to the polls no and Donald Trumps court were told there are members of the family who will approach him and ask him if he is ready to concede and hope that you might do that in the next couple of days from the president himself theres no sign hes about to do that alan fischer with the latest just outside the white house allan thank you. Well lets go to mike hanna now who is live for us in wilmington Delaware Delaware of course the home state of joe biden where he gave that very moving speech yesterday so mike we were just hearing there from alan fischer about what the trunk campaign is planning on doing so in light of all of that going on how is team biden preparing for the transition phase. Well the 1st thing theyve done is theyve already in the course of the morning got up a transition website in which they outline what their priorities are and the priorities as outlined on the website covert 19 economic recovery Racial EquityClimate Change so its a full agenda but what we do know and what joe biden said in his speech his 1st speech as president elect was the absolute priority for him and Camilla Harris is covert 19 and they are going to start investigating ways in which this pandemic can be combated they have been for months now meeting with experts to draw up a program a program that joe biden says will become a plan of action come january the 20th when hes inaugurated as president but its moving even quicker than that in the next 24 hours biden will be holding a News Conference at which he will announce his Coronavirus Task force now this is expected to be headed by a former Surgeon General and the clinton government as well as a form a commission off the food and Drug Administration so very heavy weight her task force is going to be set up this of course a reflection of joe bidens insistence that when it comes to country in the pandemic hes going to be guided by science by can i with the latest there from wilmington delaware mike thank you. The many states were crucial the state of georgia has been pivotal in this election and all eyes there now are to genuine januarys Senate Runoff in georgia which could flip control to the democrats well the tasha going to him is covering developments from atlanta good to see you george has been symbolic for so many reasons a state that historically for many many years has voted republican now very very close but it still has a role to play. Absolutely and as you said its been 28 years since the state of georgia went to a democratic president ial candidate the votes here are still being counted but as the days progress bidens lead over trump only continues to grow at last count it was about a 10200 vote gap this is a state that trump won in 2016 by 5 percent its been a traditional republican stronghold but what were seeing of course is that their political shift the political winds are shifting a little bit the secretary of state earlier in the week had said there would be a recount in georgia because the race was so close close its unclear if that will happen but what is clear is that georgia still very much divided much like the nation biden drew much of his support in the more progressive Atlanta Metro area and 70 percent of white voters supported trump so again what youre seeing is yesterday saturday a tale of 2 different 2 different tales really in freedom park 1 in atlanta lots of rivalry among biden supporters hailing this as a historic moment and then in front of the capitol also here in atlanta about 200 Trump Supporters say chanting we will not let the gates of hell prevail this election was stolen from trump due to voter fraud there is no credible evidence of voter fraud that is surface just yet but again a very clear indication of the ongoing suspicion among Trump Supporters that this election was fair and that really failure to recognize that biden is the president elect this is not the end of voting for georgians on january 5th they will head to the polls again because 2 of their senate races need to head into a runoff in florida in the state law according to state law you have to get a majority of the vote and neither candidate did so theres. Ability that the 2 senate seats currently held by republicans could flip to the democratic column political analysts say thats not likely but bear in mind if it did that could mean a bite in. The administration with control over the house and the senate so this is why grassroots organizations have already mobilized they said saturday was a day to celebrate sunday were going to get back to work one of these organizations told me that the goal is to roger register 30 to 40000 new voters by december i think its 5th or 7th deadline to try to get them to vote in this runoff so that the democrats can be a real contender perhaps as i said a tie breaking 5050 in the Senate Contender but again lots of more election campaigning for georgians who had to endure between now and january and georgias already proved that Voter Registration really can be a game changer in these elections that are going to be with the latest from atlanta thank you now while the u. S. President donald trump has so far refused to concede republican senator mitt romney says trump will accept the result if his legal challenges fail he also cautioned against some of the language being used by the president i think one has to be careful in the choice of words other i think would you say that the election was corrupt or stolen or rigged but thats unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarians around the world and i think it also discourages confidence in our democratic process here at home and and with the battle going on right now between authoritarianism and freedom why i think i think its very important that we not use language which which can encourage. A course in history which would be very very unfortunate. Never there will still to come. Why some africans are celebrating joe bidens election as u. S. President. Are blocked from reaching the palace type protest there is a try to deliver a letter to the king. However got more clout and run rolling into western parts of europe still very unsettled but these areas of low pressure just drifting in from the atlantic and they go to spin some further cloud wet weather and its quite a keen breeze as well central pos as the place to be for the quiet weather we do still have the fog and frost problems so early on it is going to be on the chilly side but you get some afternoon sunshine coming through lifting temperatures in vienna to well its pretty paltry 6 degrees celsius but in light winds at one feel too bad theres that west of weather looking at its how to increase in the shower there across spain and portugal into france into England Wales all and i think the upper to scotland eventually will see some of that wet weather just not going towards scandinavia as well as we go on through choose day rather more persistent rain garage making its way towards oland by the statement for central areas not too bad but looking good and 8 in vienna then laci try shower just around to bulgaria pushing over towards to shower still in play there across that eastern side of the mediterranean want to show the showers running down across the north of egypt libya could see a few coastal showers as well but for much of north africa central areas it slushy dry come down into the gulf of guinea into central parts thats where the seasonal showers continue pushing south. Rewind returns with updates on the best of aljazeera is documentaries. The moving story of 2 young tuchman girls in afghanistan. At last able to get an education after years of oppressive taliban occupation. But what has become of their dreams. Rewind pencils and bullets. On aljazeera. The all. Time now for a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera u. S. President elect joe biden has attended a Church Service with his family one day after being declared the winner of a bitter election against donald trump biden has pledged to unify the country and govern for all americans including the 70000000 did not vote for him. Trump meanwhile has so far refused to concede the election and is promising to press ahead with legal challenges to the results in several key states on monday. Now one of joe bidens Biggest Challenges will be reshaping u. S. Foreign policy after the trumpet ministrations america 1st approach the president elect has promised a more traditional take built on long term partnerships based on shared that Democratic Values by then says hell cement old alliances like nato and be tough on russia while trump started a trade war with china and blamed it for the coronavirus pandemic biden says he wants to work with allies to pressure beijing on trade and human rights biden has pledged not to meet kim jong un without the concessions on his Nuclear Program that trump was alternately unable to secure the president elect says hell end u. S. Support for the conflict in yemen stop weapons sales to saudi arabia and hold its leaders accountable for killing and hes indicated he is prepared to return to the Iran Nuclear Deal but he will not lift any sanctions until tauranga returns to strict compliance with the 2015 agreement diplomatic editor james bass says there will be relief. Over the result but things are unlikely to go back to the way they were before trump. Certainly they are breathing a very big sigh of relief most european leaders and theyre hoping that what theyve seen so far from the speech in wilmington it wasnt about Foreign Affairs but it was the speech of a very traditional president theyre hoping that the u. S. Is going to return to that very traditional u. S. Role which means taking part in an International Institutions taking part with its allies in its alliances the most important being nato but i have to say there are 2 things to say on the other side of the tally one is that president elect biden faces an amazing set of challenges taking over the time of covert 19 globally over a 1000000 people have been killed the worst recession the sentry we got to gloat growing clark at time of crisis so hes got a lot on his plate the other thing is i think that other countries around the world and particularly the u. S. As our allies wont forget the trump years they know how close this election was they know that technically President Trump could run again in 4 years time and if its not President Trump there may well be another trump ian candide up with the same sort of agenda so i dont think theyre going to take the u. S. Role for granted in the way perhaps they have ever since the 2nd world war. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is congratulated joe biden in a statement that indicates hes ready to end his 3 year political boycott of the United States about pictured here with biden back in 2016 said in a statement that he looks forward to working with joe biden and strengthening palestinian American Relations he has refused to deal with the white house since trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in 2017 and move the u. S. Embassy there from tel aviv. Well meanwhile the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu one of Donald Trumps closest International Allies has paid tribute to the outgoing president. For myself and for all citizens of the state of israel i again thank President Trump for the great french repeats shown to the state of israel and to me personally i congratulate him for recognizing jerusalem and the golan for standing up to iran for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American Israeli Alliance to unprecedented heights thank you President Trump reaction there from israel and as World Leaders continue to react to bidens win how does the task is in harare for us with reaction from the african continent. And the general sentiment in africa was that donald trump never made africa a priority he never personally travel to any Subsaharan Africa he proposed troops pulling out from with african east africa u. S. Troops that are working with those countries to defeat boko haram and al shabaab which would have been a blow to the war on terror and he even proposed cutting some aid to africa the relationship between africa and america is normally that of trade aid in terms of aid america has given billions of dollars in aid to africa long before trump was even president and even its helped in things like buying food giving aid to countries in need and also improving the Health Care System by helping africa fight hiv and aids in terms of trade i mean every country has its own trade agreement with america but the ishi africans had is that many felt that these trade agreements tend to stay the americans and leaders in this region have been trying to lobby or push america to remove sanctions imposed on zimbabwe back in 2001 these were placed on zimbabwe for alleged human rights abuses after the Land Reform Program when farmers was see from commercial whites a farm is not static the region has been trying to say to American Government that the sense of that you say are targeted end up hurting the zimbabwean economy and hurting poor zimbabweans in general which actually has a Ripple Effect on the rest of the region so is joe biden going to be any different some are hopeful they hope that hes going to support the continental Free Trade Agreement in africa they also hope that hes going to endorse africas candidate to be director general of the World Trade Organization but some say listen at the end the day joe biden is the president of the United States of america his interest his priority will be putting americas interests 1st.
