Protest against our police force only removed refugees, migrants from the streets in school, mohamed salah, looks set to make a Champions League return to liverpool, the club confirming the egyptian has now tested negative for corona virus. The u. S. President elect joe biden and Vice President elect camelot harris are about to formally announce their nominees for Key National Security and Foreign Policy posts. On monday, their transition to the white house formally began the head of a Government Agency responsible for the process finally acknowledged by as in her words, the apparent winner of the election. Well, soon well speak to white house correspondent, kimberly how kids in washington d. C. Trump had a one minute media here its not long ago, and shell tell us what he had to say. But 1st, lets start with shabba. Tant, see hes in wilmington, in delaware, so she had what do we expect, joe biden to say . I think will have a great deal of discussion of multilateralism, a return to global alliances of the u. S. Resuming its much vaunted Global Leadership around the world, both biden and secretary of state nominee tony blinken. A very much of the opinion that if the u. S. Doesnt lead someone else will coming to a country near, you redoubled american intervention. Basically, over having said that, they blinken is far more interventionist than biden. So its an interesting and interesting balance that we also probably hear a great deal about diversity about how diverse the nominees are minorities and women. Having said that, we should be very clear that the slate of nominees that weve had so far of very much part of the Foreign Policy establishment of washington very much from, from the obama era as well. So there is this fascinating question, given that Foreign Policy was such a key issue in the rise of donald trump, as many in the obama base were tired of endless wars which obama had promised to. Finally come to a conclusion and didnt. And so many of the obama base were tired of, for global free trade deals that they felt were more towards the interests of multinationals and american workers. And how many lessons have been learned by what is a very establishment slate of candidates, despite the identity politics that will be talked about quite a bit, im sure, in the coming and becoming or a lot of the names have already been announced, or named in the press how much of a return to what we can call the business. And the usual is happening here. Now looking at the names, well, tony blinken, secretary of state deputy secretary of state under obama, as i said, more interventionist than biden. In fact, of the last few days, hes been giving interviews, regretting that president obama did funnel a 1000000000. 00 worth of weaponry to syrian rebels. Much of it, which ended up with in the hands of jodis, that the Obama Administration was more militarily involved in syria. For example, he was very pro the bombardment of libya, which would joe biden was again. So theres an interesting dynamic there blinking also very much part of the Foreign Policy blow in that after he left the Obama Administration like so many Obama Administration, folks. He set up a private consultancy and made a fortune from consulting with weapons manufacturers, big tech, big surveillance, very close contacts. Progressivism pleaded with biden, to end that revolving door spinning between private enterprise and the military complex in government. Not a concern clearly for the biden. At least when it came to blink into such a long term. When we talk about the diversity, well, we took it out real haynes, for example, director of National Intelligence 1st woman to be leading the Intelligence Community. Much were made of that. Having said that, she is another whole, shes infamous for being the person who used to draw up the kill lists for extra judicial killing under obama for that with the drone strikes. So shes all exactly a progressive hero, but she is a woman. But there is that dynamic between identity politics, the person themselves, and indeed the policies that they have spouses, which, which i think we need to be very, very careful of on safer ground when talking about diversity with the without a 100, my called the department of Homeland Security cuban immigrant key in president obamas dhaka program, the foot action, but child Arrivals Program which gave migrants who were brought to the u. S. Should have been about to jump in here because we understand that joe biden is now speaking. Lets listen in to him. Ok. Well, good afternoon everyone. Today im pleased to announce nominations and staff for critical Foreign Policy, National Security positions in my news. Trish is a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure and its a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. Not retreat from it. Once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. In fact, in calls from World Leaders that ive had about 18 to 20 so far, im not sure the exact number. In the weeks since we won the election. Ive been struck by how much theyre looking forward to the United States. Reasserted psystar grow as a Global Leader both in the pacific as well as in the atlantic all across the world. The team meets this moment, this team behind me. They embody my core beliefs that americas strongest, when it works with this allies. Collectively, this team is secure and some of the most defining National Security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory made possible through decades of experience working with our partners. Thats how we truly keep america safe without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries in check and terrorists at bay. And thats how we Counter Terrorism and extremism control this pandemic and future ones deal with of qana crisis Nuclear ProliferationCyber Threats and emerging technologies. The spread of our turn ism and so much more. And while this team as an unmatched experience in accomplishments, they also reflect the idea that we cannot meet these challenges with all thinking and on change habits. For example, were going to have the 1st woman leave the Intelligence Community, the 1st latino, an immigrant to lead the department of Homeland Security, and a groundbreaking diplomat at the United Nations. Were going to have a principle on the National Security councils full time job, is to fight Climate Change for the 1st time ever that will occur. And my National Security team, because i need it by one of the youngest National Security advisers in decades, experience and leadership, fresh thinking and perspective, and a non relenting belief in the promise of america. Ive long said that america leads not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. And im proud to put forward this Incredible Team that will lead by example. As secretary of state, i nominate tony blinken. Hes one of the better prepared for this job. No one is better prepared to mine. It will be the secretary of state who previously served in top roles on capitol hill in the white house. And in the state department. He delivered for the American People in each place. For example, lead in our diplomatic efforts in the fight against isis strengthen Americas Alliance and positions the as in the age of pacific gaiety. Our responses to the global refugee crisis with compassion and determination. And he will rebuild morale and trust in the state department where his career, where his career and government began. And he starts off with the kind of relationships around the world that many of his predecessors have had to build over the years. I know ive seen him in action. Tonys been one of my closest, the most trusted advisors. I know him and his family immigrants and refugees, a holocaust survivor, who taught him to never take for granted. The very idea of america as a place of possibilities. Possibilities. Tony is ready on day one, a sector for Homeland Security. I nominate a 1000 my orcus. This is one of the hardest jobs in government, a gigantic agency. The d. H. As secretary needs to keep us safe from threats at home and from abroad. And is, and is the job that plays a Critical Role in fixing our broken immigration system. After years of chaos, dysfunction, absolute cruelty, and d h. S. Im proud to nominate inexperienced leader who has been hailed by both democrats and republicans alley as he goes, whys a former u. S. Attorney, former director of u. S. Citizenship and immigration services. And a former d. H. Just d h. S. Deputy secretary helped implement daca, prevented attacks on the homeland enhanced our cyber security. Help communities recover from Natural Disaster combated a ball lands a kit. And while d. H. S. Affects everyone given its Critical Role in the immigration matters, im proud that for the 1st time ever the departed, real led by an immigrant, a latino who knows that we are a nation of laws and values. And one more thing, todays his birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday. Hes 21 and as a director of National Intelligence, i nominate avel haynes the 1st woman ever to hold this post to lead our Intelligence Community. I didnt pick a politician or a political figure. I picked the professional, shes eminently qualified, former Deputy Director of the cia, former deputy National Security adviser to president obama and affairs advocate for telling the truth, and leveling with her decisions with the Decision Makers straight out. Nothing unnecessary. I know because i work with her for over a decade. Brilliant, humble. Can talk literature in theoretical physics, fixing cars, flying planes, running a bookstore cafe, all in a single conversation because shes done all that. And above all. d she gets word of a threat if she gets word of a threat coming to our shores, like another pandemic or foreign interference in our elections. She will not stop raising alarms until the right people take action. People will be able to take her word because she always calls it as she sees it. I believe we are safer with our own that watch. I think we see she make a great contribution. As united boss and United States embassy 9 nations on a minute, lenda thomas greenfield. A season a distinguished diplomat with 35 years in the Foreign Service who never forgot where she came from. Growing up in segregated louisiana. The eldest of 8. A dad couldnt read or write, but she says he was the smartest person she knew, 1st in her family to go to, to graduate from high school, then college, the whole war a literally ahead of her as a dad and mom taught her to believe post in switzerland, pakistan, kenya, the gambia nigeria, jamaica liberia, where she was known as the peoples mess, willing to meet with anyone, and ambassador, a student working people struggling to get by and always treating them with the same level of dignity and respect. She was our Top State Department official in charge of african policy during the ball crisis. Sure received overwhelming support from her fellow career Foreign Service officers and should be a cabinet status. I have because i want to hear her voice on all the major Foreign Policy discussions and my National Security advisor. Id see jakes element. Hes once in a generation intellect with experience and temperament, one of the toughest jobs in the world. When i was Vice President , he served as my National Security advisor. He was a top adviser to secretary of state clinton. He helped lead the early negotiations that led to the iran nuclear deal. He helped broker the gaza cease fire in 2012, played a key role in Asia Pacific Group balancing our ministration. And in this campaign for the presidency, he served as one of the most trusted advisers on both foreign and domestic policy, including help me develop our coven 1000 strategy. Jake understands my vision. That Economic Security is National Security, and help steer what i call Foreign Policy. For the middle class, for families, my kids growing up in minnesota, where he was raised by parents who are educators and taught him the values of hard work, decency, service, and respect. What that means is to win the competition for the future. We need to keep us safe and secure, and build back better than ever. We need to invest in our people, sharpen our innovative it unite the economic might of our democracies around the world to grow the middle class and reduce inequity. And do things like counter predatory trade practices that our competitors and of our competitors and our adversaries. And before i talk about the final person today, let me talk about this new position. For the 1st time ever, the United States will have a full time climate leader. Were just a paid a mint and minister ariel level meetings. Thats a fancy way of saying that let us see at every table around the world. For the 1st time ever, he will be able, there will be a principal on the National Security council who can make sure Climate Change is on the agenda in the situation room. For the 1st time ever. We will have a president ial envoy on climate. He will be matched with a high level white house Climate Policy coordinator and policy making structure to be announced in december. And i have a lead efforts here in the United States to combat the climate crisis. Mobilize action to meet the existential threat to that we face. Let me be clear. I dont for a minute underestimate the difficulties. Im eating my bold commitments to fighting Climate Change. But at the same time, no one should underestimate for a minute. My determination to do jest that and as for the man himself, if i had a former secretary of state who helped negotiate the Paris Climate Accord or former president ial nominee, or former leading senator or the head of a major Climate Organization for the job. I would show my kingdom and show my commitment to the United States in the whole world. The fact that i pick the one person who has all of these things speaks unambiguously to my commitment to the world would know that with one of my closest friends, john kerry, hes speaking for america on one of the most pressing threats of our time. Known i trust more to this team. I thank them for accepting this call to service and for their families. I thank you all for your sacrifice. You know, we could do, we cannot do this without you and my together these Public Servants will restore america globally. Its Global Leadership and its moral leadership and will ensure that our service members, diplomats, and intelligence professionals can do their job free of politics will not only repair their also. d reimagined, american Foreign Policy and National Security for the next generation. And theyll tell me what i need to know, not what i want to know, what i need to know to the American People. This team will make us proud to be americans. And as more states certify the results of this election, theres progress to wrap up our victory. You know, im pleased to have received the ascertainment from g. S. A. To carry out a smooth and peaceful transition of power. So our teams can prepare to meet the challenges of hand to control the pandemic, to build back better, and to protect the safety and security of the American People. And to the United States senate. I hope these outstanding nominees received a prompt, cheery, and that we can work across the aisle in good faith to move forward for the country. Lets begin that work to heal and unite. To heal a new 9 america as well as the world. Well i thank you all, may god bless you, may god protect our troops now and turn this over. This new t. Starting with the next secretary of state. Tony blinken and my mask, tony. So i dont get in trouble. Clean off. America is back, was the announcement that by the president elect, and now we are about a new here from the nominee for secretary of state, tony blinken. Thats this. And then as president harris, thank you for your trust and your confidence. If confirmed by the United States senate, i will do everything i can to earn it. This president elect working for you, having you as a mentor and friend, has been the greatest privilege of my professional life. So many people have brought me to this day from college classmates to bandmates. My colleagues in the Clinton Obama of this ration is in the senate and at the state department. I thank them all and i ask forgiveness for my insatiable appetite for bad ones. Mostly id like to thank my family, sisters and sisters in law, brothers in law, nieces and nephews, my wonderful inlaws, the ryans, and especially my wife, evan ryan, and our children, john and laila. They are truly my greatest busses for my pam lee. As for so many generations of americans, america has literally been the last best hope on earth. My grandfather, who recently fled pogroms in russia and made a new life in america. His son, my father, Donald Lincoln served in the United States air force during world war 2. And then as a United States ambassador, he is my role model. And my hero, his wife vera blinken, fled communist hungary as a young girl, and help future generations of refugees come to america. My mother, judith, these are builds bridges between america and the world through arts and culture. She is my greatest champion. And my late sept father, samuel, hes our he was one of 900 children in his school in bialystok, poland. But the only one to survive the holocaust. After 4 years in concentration camps. At the end of the war, he made a break from a death march into the woods, into the area. From his hiding place, he heard a deep rumbling sound. It was a tank. But instead of the iron cross he saw painted on its side a 5 pointed white start, he ran to the tank. The hatch opened, an africanamerican g. I. Looked down at. He got down on his knees and said the only 3 words that he knew in the, in english, that his mother taught him before the war. God bless america. Thats who we offer. Thats what america represents to the world. However imperfectly. Now we have to proceed with equal measures of humility and confidence, humility. Because as the president said, we cant solve all the worlds problems alone. We need to be working with other countries. We need their cooperation. We need their partnership. But also confidence. Because america, at its best, still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. And thats where the men and women of the state department, Foreign Service officers, civil servants. Thats where they come in. Ive witnessed their passion, their energy, their courage. Up close. Ive seen what they do to keep us safe to make us more prosperous. Ive seen them add luster to a word that deserves our respect. Diplomacy, if confirmed it will be the honor of my life to help guide them. And so thank you all and may god bless america. Yes, we were listening that to the speech by tony blinken, the nominee for secretary of state for the biden administration, as we now are about to hear from the next become the nominee to head under the hard cases are president elect. Lets listen then madam Vice President elect. Thank you for placing your trust in me to lead the department of Homeland Security. Thank you for the privilege of returning with the consent of the senate to Government Service. As a member of your administration, it is the honor of a lifetime. The department of Homeland Security has a Noble Mission to help keep us safe and to advance our proud history as a country of welcome. There are more than 240000 career employees who selflessly dedicate their talent and energy to this mission. Many risked their lives in doing so. I would be honored to return to the department and support these dedicated Public Servants in fulfilling their responsibilities and realizing our countrys greatest hopes, all in partnership with the communities we serve with. For 12 years, i had the privilege to stand in a federal court room and then ounce a 101 your kiss. On behalf of the United States of america, the words on behalf of the United States of america meant everything to me and to my parents, whom i think of today. And every day, my father and mother brought me to this country to escape communism. They cherished our democracy and were intensely proud to become United States citizens. As was i i have carried that pride throughout my nearly 20 years of Government Service and throughout my life. My parents are not here to see this day. Mr. President elect that im Vice President to let please know that i will work day and night in the service of our nation to able to lead the men and women of the United States department of Homeland Security and to bring honor to my parents and to the trust you have placed in me to carry out your vision for our country forward. Thank you. Mr. President , elect men, Vice President. I am grateful and even more so humbled by the trust that you placed in me for this role. Im especially honored to be standing not only by your side, but also alongside some of the most talented and inspiring Public Servants. This country has ever seen. I know mr. President elect and madam Vice President elect that you have selected us not to serve you, but to serve on behalf of the American People, to help advance our security, our prosperity, our values that the call to service in this role is what makes this nomination. Such a tremendous honor if afforded the opportunity to do so. I will never forget that my role on this team is unique, better than that of a policy adviser i will represent to you, congress and the american public. The patriots who comprise our Intelligence Community. Mr. President elect, you know, that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. And that will be my charge as director of National Intelligence. I worked for you for a long time and i accept this nomination, knowing that you would never want me to do otherwise. And that you value the perspective of the Intelligence Community. And that you will do so even when what i have to say may be inconvenient or difficult. And i assure you there will be those times. And finally, to our intelligence professionals, the work you do. Oftentimes under the most austere conditions imaginable, is just indispensable. It will become even more complex because you will be critical to helping this Administration Position itself. Not only against threats such as Cyber Attacks or terrorism and the bullet for ration of nuclear biological or chemical weapons. But also those challenges that will define the next generation from Climate Change to pandemics and corruption. And it would be the honor of a lifetime to be able to work alongside you once again to take these challenges on together. Thank you so much. That was the biden nominee for director of the National Intelligence agency ever aligned. Speaking that we heard, of course before, from a number of other nominees, all emphasizing that afternoon, immigrant background stories thats more than an hour to the nominee for u. S. Ambassador. Im very glad of that intellect. Im humbled and honored by the trust that you have placed to me to become a member of your cabinet as ambassador to the United Nations. And the years that ive worked in government, im always struck by how only in america would we be where we are today, where life can be hard and cruel. But there is hope in the struggle. There is promise in our dreams, where you learn to believe in yourself and that anything is possible. Like both of you, i learned from my family, mr. President elect. Thank you for those generous words that you said about me. My parents had very little back in louisiana where i grew up, but they gave me and my siblings everything they had. And i know how proud they would be of this day. On this day, im also missing my mentor ambassador at perkins, who served as the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations under president george h. W. Bush and president clinton. And who was also from louisiana. He told me constantly, lend, dont undersell yourself. And he would always do Everything Possible to lift me up. He passed away last week. But i know hes here with us today. And on this day, im thinking about the American People, my fellow career, diplomats and Public Servants around the world. I want to say to you, america is back. Multilateralism is back. Diplomacy is back. Mr. President elect. Ive often heard you say how all politics is personal, and thats how you build relationships of trust and bridge disagreements and find common ground. And in my 35 years in the Foreign Service across 4 continents, i put a cage and spend on it. I called it gunboat, diplomacy, or wherever i was posted around the world, id invite people of different backgrounds and beliefs to help me make a rule and chop onions for the holy trinity. And, and bake homemade gumbo. It was my way of breaking down, berry is connecting with people and starting to see each other on a human level. A bit of land yacht is what we say in louisiana. Thats the charge in front of us today. The challenges we face a global pandemic, a global economy, the global Climate Change, crisis, mass, migration and extreme poverty. Social justice are under a lantern and to connect it, but theyre not unresolvable if america is leading the way. Thank you. Herring that from joe bidens nominee for the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations paying tribute as well to her family. A theme weve seen in the speeches of a number of nominees and lining their Vice President aspirational. They will do this for president right future. Lets listen in on earth and humbled by the immense responsibility that you placed in me of being your National Security adviser. I pledge to you and to the American People that i will work relentlessly in service of the mission. You have given us to keep our country and our people safe to advance our National Interests and to defend our founders. I pledge to the exceptional National Security team you see behind me and to the brilliant and diverse career professionals across our government. And i will manage a humane and rigorous decisionmaking process that honors their work. And i pledge to my parents who taught my brothers, my sister, and me to work hard, tell the truth and serve others, that i will do my utmost to make you proud. Sir, we will be vigilant in the face of enduring threats from Nuclear Weapons to terrorists. But you have also task just with reimagining, our National Security for the unprecedented combination of crises we face at home and abroad. The pandemic, the economic crisis, the climate crisis. Technological disruption, threats to democracy, Racial Injustice and inequality in all forms. The work of the team behind me today will contribute to progress across all of these fronts. Youve also tast us with putting people at the center of our Foreign Policy. Youve told us that the alliances, we rebuild the institutions. Weve lead the agreements we signed. All of them should be judged by a basic question. Will this make life better, easier, safer for families across this country . Our Foreign Policy has to deliver for these families. And perhaps most importantly, give task to us with helping unite america. As you said, in your remarks, through our work, to pull people together to tackle big challenges. My wife maggie, the love of my life and my partner in all things served as a Senior Adviser to senator john mccain. She and i share this commitment to common down deep in our but its to the American People. I had the honor of serving as joe bidens National Security adviser when he was Vice President. I learned a lot about a lot about diplomacy, about strategy, about policy, but most importantly about human nature. I watched him pare strength and resolve with humanity and empathy. That is the person america lacked it, and that is also america at its best. So mr. President elect, thank you for giving this kid from the heartland. An extraordinary opportunity to serve the country. And i, weve been listening in now to a number of speeches, starting with the u. S. President elect himself joe biden as well, followed by a number of his nominees, speaking about their roles, their aspirations, and then beginnings. Now lets listen in to john kerry because hes been nominated to be the environmental effort of the biden administration. Mr. President , elect Vice President , elect harris. Thank you, mr. President. Elect for your generous words. And most of all, thank you for the trust in the responsibility of this appointment. I will do all in my power to live up to your expectations. And to this moment for our country and for the world. And i begin by thanking my family for empowering megan and courage in a to take this task on secretary designate blinken. We were together for many years on the Foreign Relations committee and at foggy bottom. And it will be a huge pleasure to partner with you. Again. It will be a terrific secretary, mr. President elect. Youve put forward a bold, transformative climate plan. But youve also underscored that no country alone can solve this challenge. Even the United States for all of our industrial strength is responsible. d for only 13 percent of global connections. To end this crisis, the whole world must come together. Youre right to rejoin paris on day one. And youre right to recognize that paris alone is not enough at the global meeting in glasgow one year from now. All nations must raise ambition together, or we will all fail together. And theta is not an option. Succeeding together means tapping into the best of american ingenuity, creativity, and diplomacy from brainpower to alternative energy power. Using every tool we have to get where we have to go, no one should doubt that the term anation of this president , Vice President. They shouldnt doubt the determination of a country that went to the moon. Cured supposedly incurable diseases and beat back global tyranny be world war 2 when world war 2. This kind of crisis demands that kind of leadership again. And President Biden will provide it. The road ahead is exciting. Actually. It means creating millions of middle class jobs. It means less pollution in our air ocean. It means making life healthier for citizens across the world. And it means we will strengthen the security of every nation in the world. In addressing the climate crisis, president elect joe biden is determined to seize the future now and leave a healing planet to future generations. 57 years ago this week, joe biden and i were college kids. When we lost the president who inspired both of us to try to make a difference, a president who reminded us that here on earth, gods work must truly be our own. President joe biden, will trust in god. And he will also trust in science to guide our work on earth. To protect gods creation. Mr. President elect the Vice President elect terrorists. I look forward to getting to work. Thank you. The world must come together. A message that knows what message from john kerry. He of course, is the nominee by the biden and ministration to lead the administrations environmental efforts. Lets listen in now to kemah house. Thank you, secretary kerry, and congratulations, mr. President elect on bringing together this extraordinary team. I have always believed in the nobility of Public Service and these americans embody it. Their lives and careers are a testament to the dedication, sacrifice and commitment to Civic Responsibility that have strengthened our democracy and kept americas promise a lot. And for more than 200 years, president like biden, and i have long known that when we were elected, we would inherit a series of im president of challenges upon walking into the white house. Addressing these challenges starts with getting this pandemic under control. Opening our economy responsibly and making sure it works for working people. And we also know that our challenges will require us here at home to overcome those issues that block our ability to proceed. Our challenge here is a Necessary Foundation for restoring and advancing our leadership around the world. And we are ready for that work. We will need to reassemble and renew Americas Alliances, rebuild and strengthen the National Security and Foreign Policy institutions that keep us safe and advance our nations interests, and confront and combat. The existential threat of Climate Change that endangers us all. I take these issues very seriously. My whole career has been about keeping people safe from serving as District Attorney to californias attorney general to the United States senate, where i have served on the intelligence and Homeland Security committees. Ive come to know firsthand the gravity of the challenges and threats facing the United States and over the past few months. Ive also come to know the sound, judgment, expertise, and character of the people. On this stage, i can say with confidence that they are to a person, the right women and men for these critical positions. And i look forward to working alongside them on behalf of the American People. And on behalf of a president who will ask tough questions. Demand that we be guided by facts and expect our team to speak the truth no matter what. A president who will be focused on one thing. And one thing only doing what is best for the people of the United States of america. When joe asked me to be his running me, he told me about his commitment to making sure we selected a cabinet that looks like america that reflects the best of our nation. And thats what we have done. Todays nominees and appointees come from different places. They bring a range of different life and professional experiences and perspectives. And they also share Something Else in common and unwavering belief in americas ideals and unshakable commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. And they understand the indispensable role of americas leadership in the world. These women and men are patriots and Public Servants to their core. And they are leaders, the leaders, we need to meet the challenges of this moment. And those that lie ahead. Thank you. That was kemel house speaking, the Vice President elect and what has been a presentation all the nominations by the president , us president about joe biden, presenting his nominations to some of the senior positions in his administration. Its been quite notable that he started with the words america is back, said joe biden, ready to sit at the head of the table without entanglement, in needless military conflicts spoke of fresh thinking and fresh perspective and highlighted how many of his top appointees represent firsts. The 1st latino immigrant to lead the Homeland Security 1st woman to lead the Intelligence Community and so on and so forth. I believe we have with us now. She has brutality. He joins us from wilmington. She had one of the things that struck out to me was the femal of insiders versus outsiders. Im sure you remember when we were at this position with the trumpet ministration, how the troubles ministration was emphasizing its appointing outsiders. Clearly this is a return to the insiders, right . This is the Foreign Policy blog back to point. Even though many of the individuals who are taking part here, who are nominees themselves for the cultural identity of their race. Each one of these nominees is a return to liberal interventionism that we saw under the obama in the Obama Administration. But as you said, biden is talking about fresh thinking about not going to need listen, tiger woods, it should be remembered. Of course, comparatively biden was followed less hawkish, fathers interventionist than others in the Obama Administration. Famously, he was against, for example, the afghan surge under obama. He was against the libyan war. Many of these folks were, what were all for military intervention. Whatever obama went for it. So its interesting. Its interesting to allies whether we are going to see a real change should not least, because biden is slightly different cut from slightly different cloth. It would take, sullivan was speaking. You saw an element of that may be National Security advisor, nominee. You know, he doesnt have to be a nominee. He could actually just be appointed. He has been doing some work there which seems to understand that Foreign Policy should be different, given the rise of trouble, given the enormous disappointment in obamas Foreign Policy agenda that helps the rise of trouble. Remember, truck was campaigning on. Finally ending endless wars and trade deals that, that decimated the midwest that sullivan has been doing some work on that. Hes that hes written papers about our Foreign Policy affects the middle class of america. And he said, what will guide our Foreign Policy is whether this will make American Families better off. Thats a very different way of looking at american Foreign Policy from the usual american exceptionalism, your Foreign Policy, which is, we will act around the world however you want, because were because where america. So maybe thats an inkling that they have some lessons because it might help us. So there are all wars and various war military intervention and war people from the midwest, and also where are sent to Foreign Countries to fight those wars. What about the military is going to have a problem. All right, were going to thank you and were going to go now to our white house correspondent, kimberly how can believe this is such a ton of things that one could talk about the challenges that these guys might face. But looking at this in perspective of whats been happening in america, do you think that the camp that has supported donald trump are going to look at this . Is it a lineup that can heal american divisions . You know, joe biden really touted the diversity there. The tino element, the female element. How do you think trump is going to look at this . Can trump, i should say that he had a choice and as he spoke he could sort of acknowledge some of the populous in that exists and try to bring it into the fold or he could as he signaled he would. And that is push reset. And he chose the latter, what we heard repeatedly as and what we expect is that on day one, joe biden calmly, harris will begin to on ravel many of the policies that donald trump put into place. That its by no accident that speaker after speaker as we were listening to them just moments ago said that, you know, its time for america to lead, not to retreat, to work without allies. Also saying that these, this is a time for renewed alliances. These were all extend leave veiled swipes at donald trump, and also this was also a bit of attack without naming him by name on his refusal to concede the fact that the Biden Transition Team has had many days that it has been sort of lagging behind in terms of that process, in fact, you heard joe biden as he spoke, saying that its time to wrap up our victory. And then he did say, well, work across the aisle to heal and unite, but it didnt appear that any of those policies would draw. The 74000000. 00 americans that support donald trump into that fold. So this is going to be the challenge. And the challenge for donald trump as he continues to not concede, but to support this transition is his legal challenges are not going to be particularly successful given they havent been thus far. Weve seen yet another state certifying for joe biden. Weve had pennsylvania and now no vida. Now its one more thing thats important in all of this is that its notable again that the president elect did not take questions from reporters. Now that kind of seems like the theme of the day because we had another press conference here at the white house that was not only only 64 seconds in length, but again and no questions this time it was donald trump at the podium, not president elect biden. And he seemed to be upset with the fact that many were attributing the historic milestone of 30000 hitting of the Dow Jones Industrial average. That this with will be attributed to the biden transition and optimism and investors that prompted donald trump to take to the podium to say no, this is all because of me. That the stock markets just broken. 30000 never been broken. That number, thats a sacred number. 30000 and nobody thought theyd ever see it. Thats the 9th time since the beginning of 2020. And its the 48th time that we have broken records during the trumpet ministration. And i just want to congratulate all the people within the administration that work so hard. And most importantly, i want to congratulate the people of our country because there are no people like you. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. Rosemary. Right now, just to give you some background, we got only a few moments notice before the president walked into the briefing room, catching many reporters off guard. This is classic, donald trump injecting himself into the news cycle whenever he can, and often trying to take the headline away from out. There is presumably this time joe biden, the president elect, then operation day is january 20th, and its clear were going to have some dueling moments like this. It seems for weeks to come lets bring you some news from elsewhere in the world. Now at least 7 people have died in 2 separate car bombings in northwestern syria.

Miguel is within the range of it, which means military wise, it is easier to straight. Thats a simple fact that the respect is to lives of people that once that happens, then its human choice. A choice which saves themselves the choice was saves vs future. So are ones to know what is happening, whats actually boutros. Then they will deal with going forward, which is a course in course of action and choice of pushing these forces. So it was here in the future. Not really.

Now, the problem is a few hours after the migrants pitched their tents. Police arrived and forcibly evacuated them from the square. Some Police Officers using what many people have said was Excessive Force and video images showed some Police Officers using batons against the migrants, pulling them out of their tents, trying to take out their belongings. One video image even seems to show a Police Officer tricking up a migrant who was trying to clutch his sleeping bag and get away also pictures of Police Officers seeming to use Excessive Force against some journalists who were filming in taking photographs at the time. Now these video images of circulated, of course, widely in the press here on the news on social media. And the French Interior minister has called them shocking.
