In Central America and the caribbean rushed to help those made homeless by Tropical Storm. Well the transitions are joe biden presidency in the United States is gathering pace with some decisions expected in the hours ahead the president elect is due to announce a task force to tackle what he says is his top priority the coronavirus pandemic on sunday biden visited a Church Cemetery where family members are buried including his late son donald trump spent the day playing golf inside washington and is refusing to concede defeat his campaign is planning legal challenges in states where hes disputing the counting of votes but World Leaders including israels Binyamin Netanyahu and saudi arabias mohamed bin salma. And have congratulated buys in on his victory former u. S. President s and republican george w. Bush also sent his well wishes well heres more of whats george w. Bush said in a note spill sit on instagram he thanks by is in for the patriotic message that he delivered on saturday nights as in that he also cold komla harris to congratulate her on her historic elections in the vice presidency he goes on though we have political differences i know joe biden to be a good man who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country and i offered him the same thing i offered president s trump and obama my prayers for his success and my pledge to help well another republican senator mitt romney believes trump will accept the results if his legal challenges fail but he cautioned trump on the language hes using i think one has to be careful in the choice of words i think 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 that 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. Well rosalynn jordan is following developments from washington and joins us now ross what sort of things should we be looking out for today. Well and not just the fact that the president elect and the Vice President elect are going to be holding a meeting with their version of a corona virus taskforce in wilmington delaware but the current Vice President mike pence is also going to be having a closed door meeting with the existing code at 19 task force at the white house campus we also understand according to the Washington Post that the official in the trumpet ministration who is responsible for making it possible for the transition to actually begin that is release money to the Biden Harris Team so that it can start the work of trying to determine who needs to be hired for government posts running background checks and authorizing the f. B. I. To look into potential nominees for cabinet posts and subcabinet posts all of that logistical technical boring work actually has not been authorized even though the election has been called for Vice President joe biden and senator kamel harris so this is something that is raising considerable concern here in washington and theyre already efforts afoot to try to get more information from the General Services administration about why it has not signed off on the documents to authorize the funding and the access that the Incoming Administration will need in order to carry out this transition caviezel and jones and then live from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed. Well the challenges facing joe biden are unprecedented in scale a pandemic the worst global recession the century and the Climate Crisis reynolds looks ahead. Once the celebrations by joe biden and kamel harriss supporters have faded the enormity of the task facing the president elect and his deputy looms ahead and im heartened over by the trust and confidence you placed in me. Biden has pointed to the covert 19 pandemic now rampaging virtually unchecked throughout the country as his most urgent priority our work to get rid getting covered under control by the time he takes the oath of office the situation may be far worse than it is now there are several months between now and when biden actually takes control if the Current Administration doesnt do an about face we will see much more misery much more unnecessary deaths Infectious Disease specialist say biden must work hard to convince the millions of people swayed by trumps rejection of science and math swearing to change their behavior needs to gather the right people around him. Which i know he will do he needs to get rid of those individuals who have been voicing nonscientific and unsound. Bad advice some things will be relatively easy for biden to accomplish by executive action rejoining the paris climate accords reinstating Environmental Protection rules bill limited under trump and reversing the socalled muslim ban but if the senate stays under republican control biden may be forced to compromise on vital matters like the size of an economic stimulus and relief legislation even more difficult to get through the senate will be bite. Plans to increase taxes on high earners extend Health Care Insurance to more americans and overhaul immigration laws we know one thing about president elect biden its somebody who has that instead of getting things done reaching across the aisle especially in a place like the senate and i think thats going to be exactly the set of attributes be so important to getting anything done at all its an old cliche to say after an election victory now comes the hard part but for joe biden and Campbell Harris the path ahead is this steep and as difficult as that of any Incoming Administration in u. S. History robert oulds Al Jazeera Los Angeles well as biden looks ahead President Donald Trump and his lawyers arent admitting defeat heres some of the legal maneuvering theyre working on at the moment theyve requested recounts of votes in places like wisconsin one of the States Joe Biden flipped from republican to democratic and possibly georgia or buys in is naturally ahead theyre also filing various lawsuits in other battleground states such as pennsylvania nevada and arizona their main allegations are that mail and ballots which lean toward spies and have been subject to widespread frauds and that Republican Campaign observers werent given sufficient access to vote counting centers little or no evidence has been provided to support these claims. Or clarity of the United States political future has seen a surge on asian stock markets key indices in south korea japan hong kong and taiwan were all up when trading began on monday analysts say asian markets are optimistic about their Economic Future under a biden presidency but trumps refusal to concede threats of legal action remain a cause for uncertain say stephen inness chief Global Market strategist at x. C. A Global Institutional Financial Services company he joins us live by skype from bangkok good to have you with this here on the program we often say that markets dont like uncertainty but they seem to be doing both are well nigh how do you explain this. Yeah thats sort of a misnomer isnt really its amazing really because weve gone from this blue waves weve center of the market was embracing to now almost congressional gridlock but the market seems to like this over in asia the big impulse here is a deescalation of us and it thats just carrying the day were seeing a shoe shop and volatility in the region were seeing a strengthening of local currencies and this is just attracting a lot of money back into the asia and stocks quite a positive day all around whether this holds up in the midst of a global i mean well thats yet to be seen but so far things are so good today and how much so should we set by these markets and looking at how they move because if we take the pandemic as an example looking at the pandemic markets of booming and sets insects at a time when ordinary people are really struggling quite a myth a quite a bit so well set a metric would you say they are. Thats a very very good question because its really main street where the problems exist and eventually were going to have to pay the piper because this pandemic has just wrecked havoc throughout the world you know the short term Market Sentiment you know just a lie the fact that were just in a deep recession right now theres a lot of money being put into the system thank you to Central Banks that are allowing as said markets to continue to float higher but as i said eventually that paper needs to be paid what were seeing a bit today however i think is this unwinding of a lot of pages that are really placed for a more contentious election play out a low President Trump has suggested he could take some legal action market seems to be ignoring that even people in his own Advisory Committee are telling him to concede so you know whether hes going to continue to beating the chest pushing for the Supreme Court to look at these voting procedures im not sure well have to wait and see how that plays out but right now the market seems to be a sage by the fact that ok we have the biden presidency but we dont have a biden presidency thats going to have all those taxes and regulations attached to it because the senate still remains a republican affair and saving what should we believe looking forward to this market starts open across europe then heading over of course towards the United States. But i just has to see how the investors react remember were still in the midst of a cult lockdown in europe and were also seeing flash points emanate across the usa this is a problem i dont think investors really like that idea and i think theyre going to be a little bit reticent jumping on the bandwagon ultimately we have to cure the virus and this is going to be a problem Going Forward for risk assets in my view its a 2nd well as stephen n. S. That chief Global Market strategist actually great to get your analysis thank you so much for talking to us here on aljazeera thanks for having me.

Turkey has congratulated azerbaijans president says his forces have seized a key city in a disputed region as one of the most important cities in the corner where azerbaijan is fighting with armenia sonnabend reports live from baquba.

Turkeys finance minister says hes resigning Health Problems. Also the son in law president. Made the announcement on his Instagram Accounts the resignation comes 2 days after the Central Bank Governor was sacked turkeys currency has lost 30 percent of its value against the u. S. Dollar since the start of the year lets get more from shes live for us in istanbul and cinema all seems rather on a resignation. Health problems what can you tell us about this resignation. Well his thoughts Health Problems are unspecified howler and so far i have to say that he has also shut down his twitter account after posting this Resignation Letter on has officially Instagram Account but prisons are gone hasnt accepted or approved the resignation yet at least so far we havent heard from him accepting having accept that this request so yes the resignation came after the appointment of a new Central Bank Governor who is known to be a highly critic of policies which many circles not on the political source circles but also in rest there in restaurateurs believe that these policies were assertive thats why this image many say that the president donna pointed to the new central governor without the knowledge of the finance minister without informing him and this became an emotional issue and this is how reacted this is what we know about the resignation so far but of course there are many rumors but were waiting for president to Say Something to say that the resignation has been accepted and what is going to be the plan b. Is the next plan from now on but why is the significance in and what exactly is this resignation going to change in terms of the way turkeys economy gets back on its feet. Well hala for sure this resignation is going to be a game changer especially for president are gone and his ruling Party Decides to call on me because the pulls the surveys show that the support for the ruling party has been down to 33 percent which is where people accuse the bad Economic Management for this and its not only the opposition or the investors accusing the government for a bad economy management but its also some circles within the party and we have been hearing that a group of 4 to members were about to decided to resign and switch to other offshoot parties so just looking at today since the morning in the Early Morning tradings the turkish lira which lost 30 percent value against the american dollar has gained 1. 7 percent against the american dollar just within the early trading which is seen as an investor optimism in turkey right now so what is next for the finance minister but i. Dont because some circle say that don who may need takes his family as 1st he will not leave him out and he may appoint him as a Vice President as within the new president ial system the president has the right to appoint while to pull Vice President s but some say that finance minister is willing to take over the management of the ruling party which will not be welcomed by others but this is seen as opposed to news because many have accused the government for the ailing economy ok soon im consumed bring us the latest from istanbul thank you.
