Leaders say theyre still battling the advance on the capital. And as Police Across size for violently clearing out a migrant camp in paris, french m. P. s give initial approval to a bill restricting the publication of images of the police. Joe biden is forging ahead with his preparations to take over as president as his margin of victory keeps growing is just formally unveiled some of his top teen while pennsylvania and nevada have become the latest states to certify him as the winner in the past hour. The president elect was joined by the men and women. Hes picked to be his Foreign Policy and National Security chiefs. Its a team he says is ready to lead the world. It comes after President Trump began to give way, allowing the official federal transition to begin with government funding and classified intelligence briefings. Its a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure. 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, really confront our adversaries, and not be judged, are allies ready to stand up for our values. Just ahead of bidens announcement, the Dow Jones Stock index went above 30000. 00 points for the 1st time in its history. A record high was achieved just after trading opened. It suggests growing confidence in the markets on the news of bidens transition and following progress on Coronavirus Vaccines. Though in a very brief white house appearance, donald trump took the credit for it. When in a moment well go live to convey how good at the white house but 1st a. She have a tansey in bidens, hometown of wilmington, delaware. So she have but biden promising Global Leadership with his team. And as, his pick for ambassador to the u. N. , linda thomas greenfield, put it. Multilateralism is back and diplomacy is back. Right. And we had much talk of american exceptionalism, american leadership, and the diversity of the cabinet. Much being made of, for example, that the new u. N. Ambassador nominee is an africanamerican woman. The nominee for department of Homeland Security is a cuban immigrant. And the person who is nominated for the, the director of National Intelligence is a woman. So much talk of diversity and fresh thinking. Having said all of that, its pretty clear that all of these, all of these nominees are establishment, washington Foreign Policy, blog figures. Its a return to the Obama Administration in many ways, many of these had many of these figures had senior positions in the Obama Administration. Many of them are closely integrated into that Foreign Policy establishment in which there is that revolving door. Tony blinken, for example, secretary of state nominee, he will be returning from if hes, if he gets the nomination, he will return from being a consultant to the weapons manufacturers. Big surveillance, big tech, and ill return return to government. This is a long held a long held system and the washington establishment would progress as were hoping biden would forego. But he didnt. Hes very close to blinking, obviously. And were going to his Foreign Policy adviser for many years. So this is a back to the establishment, and i think what were looking for there is beyond the usual slogans about american exceptionalism. But american leadership, how have, have these figures learned anything from the obama years, from obamas bombardment of libya, for example, the green light for saudi arabia to start bombing yemen, which we often hear. There are some regrets about amongst obama obama alumni. And i guess we had a little bit of that from National Security adviser, jacob sullivan, who said that the main driving question of for Foreign Policy will be to, will this make families in america better off . That seemed to perhaps, to be a nod to the idea that as a result of obamas Foreign Policy, trump was able to capitalize and say, look, obama promised so much he didnt deliver. I will end the endless wars. Trump didnt to googles and will and free trade deals that prioritize the interests of multinational corporations over american workers. Perhaps theres some recognition of that in that one statement. We also, john kerry talked about Climate Change being at the center of Foreign Policy, which is very important. Having said that, even as we speak, were seeing leaks of other folks being considered by the, by the news in the ministration. For example, the National Economic council, who are huge boosters of the fossil fuel industry. So we have to keep an eye on all of the candidates for bidens cabinet, for bidens ministration. He says its going to look like america when hes asked, well, what about wall street . What about the fossil fuel industry . Then we hear transition. Officials say, well, is that part of america too . So the question is, how far will it look like . The old america, of multinational corporations fossil fuel interests and how many, how much would it look like the progressive voices who say that its time american Foreign Policy and action on Climate Change needs to develop cheaper times. And thank you very much. A White House Correspondent can be halkett. Ted joins us live now. So kimberly, even though the transition has been allowed to start officially still is reluctant as ever to admit defeat. Yeah, theres no question that his reluctance ever to admit defeat when you heard a couple of swipes is joe biden was speaking against donald trump and his ongoing efforts to really reverse the results of the 2020 president ial election. Joe biden saying that it is time to wrap up our victory, referring to the certification in nevada and pennsylvania. It really is once again underscoring that the effort by donald trump to do the result is failing and has been failing for quite some time. Now its also interesting to note that there were no questions taken by joe biden, in as he spoke in front of reporters and announced his cabinet picks. And in fact, there was another press conference here at the white house today, where again, no questions were taken. In fact, the whole press conference by donald trump in the White House Briefing room was only 64 seconds long, and reporters only got less than 5 minutes. Notice to attend, and the reason the president called this News Conference so hastily is that he seemed to be furious with the fact that joe biden was getting credit for the Dow Jones Industrial average, reaching a historic milestone 30000. 00. And as a result, donald trump wanted to make clear to the American Public and also to inject himself into the news cycle that he believes it was because of him. The stock market share just broken 30000 never been broken. That number, its a secret number 30000 and nobody thought theyd ever see it. Thats the 9th time the beginning of 2020. And its the 48th time that weve broken records during the Trump Administration. 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. So even as this transition is now officially underway, as we head towards Inauguration Day on january 20th, the u. S. President continuing to insist that he won the election. In fact, he tweeted early on Tuesday Morning that he believes that is a view shared by 79 percent of the american voting public. And he has also made clear that even though he is now cooperating with the biden haris transition, he will not accept defeat. Kimberly how could thank you very much indeed. Top u. S. Health officials have pleaded with americans to remain vigilant against the coronavirus pandemic. The warning comes as millions of people ignore Public Health warnings, not to travel for the thanksgiving holiday. 3000000 people are reported to have already traveled through u. S. Airports from friday to sunday. The virus is spreading rapidly throughout the country when 258000 americans have died. And the country is now reporting an average of 168000 new coronavirus cases a day. Italy has reported its highest daily death toll from the virus.

Ethiopian government says to grand Regional Forces have started to surrender 3 weeks after the army started its offensive in the northern region. It follows a deadline by Prime Minister abuja red for them to lay down their arms by wednesday or face an attack on the regions capital, like l. A. But to great leadership says its fighting back, claiming its destroyed, an Ethiopian Military division, including a helicopter and 2 tanks. Its difficult to verify either account because of a Communications Blackout in the region. Mcaleese with the rate of return, which means military wise. It is easier to stray the simple fact that it has been reduced to lives of people that once that happens in its human that people would take the right choice, a choice which saves themselves the choice was to save their future. So little to know what is happening, whats actually the butros then they will do for this, which is the course involves the rational choice of pushing these forces. So it not saving lives in the future. Not the kind of money in our new forces getting stronger and more powerful. It is acquiring additional weaponry and building its capacity. Its making history. But this is not a battle of armies. This is a civil war. And all of us has to grans by supporting each other side by side with their army. We must defend this and complete victory for Human Rights Commission appointed by the if european government has made shocking claims of what could be the deadliest incident in the ongoing conflict in the north of the country. It says at least 600. 00 civilians chosen or ethnic grounds, or rounded up and killed by a proto grand forces. In the town of my khadra, just over 2 weeks ago, Rights Groups including amnesty, have also reported the incident. But theres been no independent verification. And webb is following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya, all the telephone networks, the internet of being shut off in the to gray region for weeks now. So we only really have these claims and counterclaims to go on. Ethiopian government said earlier today, as you mentioned, to graying forces, worst, surrendering to its side. It said it was special forces and militia members who are crossing to the east to the neighboring a far region and surrendering. And following that deadline set on sunday by Prime Minister, gave to Ground Forces 3 days to lay down their arms. That deadline expires in just under 24 hours by now. That Ethiopian Government said those to green troops were coming out. They also said that they surrounded the city of macare lay there about 50 kilometers away, and theyre ready for that final assault. But to great military leaders have said that this isnt the case that theyre not surrounded and they do claim victory for destroying a division of tanks. Thats what they said. They the chief just today as well. So its not clear exactly whats going on, but the human uns human rights chief did comment on this. Just a couple of hours ago. She said that she was alarmed about a build up of artillery and tanks around the city of mckinley. It does have a population of about half a 1000000 people and certainly if there was to be heavy fighting in or around the city, it could be very dangerous for all of the civilians living there. Still to come this half hour, a greek island and a german can make a team up anything to revolutionize transport and help europe go green. And china makes its new ambitions clear embarking on the 1st time in the mean rocks. In 14 years the weather remains largely kwacha across the central and eastern parts of europe.

Soldiers in north keep the province is rebel group and 2 others are accused of nearly 400. 00 rapes during a series of attacks.

Its a historic moment. Jackson has been found guilty of war crimes. He is someone that no one thought they would ever see in the dark. So just for that, its a huge step forward for justice says yes, there are certain aspects of the verdict which we are not so happy with. For example, the recognition of the crimes against humanity for rape in the long run. But the fact remains that in general, it is a very positive verdict and a great message for the victims that justice is being served.

And a large number of International Organizations have come together to express emphatic support to the people of afghanistan. What is the message we stand with you . Protesters out in central paris are to the lower house of the french parliament, gave initial approval to a controversial new law, limiting the right to film or photograph Police Officers. The door has been heavily criticized by rights group groups who say it could mean blurring the faces of Police Officers, becomes the norm in news reports. National assembly, which is controlled by supporters of president emanuel. Go to the bill through the large majority. It will go to another vote in the upper house in january. Ok, as officers were criticized after they were filmed, forcefully removing migrants from a makeshift camp in paris is famous. Plus the authorities have ordered an investigation into the dispersal aid groups are trying to find temporary accommodation for hundreds of migrants. Several days ago, police cleared out a big camp near the National Sports stadium. Live in the french capital, paris, and the to shut us down. Theres quite a big, big demonstration going on here. Quite a big demonstration. Hundreds of people in the past. Several people here in central paris. This was the scene on monday night. All over the evacuation of this migrant camp would have happened was hundreds of migrants that pitch their tents on this square in the center of the city. It was a protest supported by Charity Workers and rights activists to try and draw attention to the plight of the migrants, many of whom have found themselves sleeping on the streets ever since the camp that they were in before was cleared last week. For what happened was police then came in shortly after they pitched their tents to clear, and in fact, he waved the whole area. But what many people say is that the police were heavyhanded that they use excessive force. And a lot of video footage that circulated today and last night showed images of police using batons. Again, some of the markets tipping peoples personal effects out of tents of one image even showing a Police Officer seemingly tripping a migraine are the images were called shocking, but frances interior minister who then said that he was ordering a Police Inquiry into what has happened. Natasha all this coming at the same time as the parliament was to debate debating a police bill. Talk us through why thats so controversial and what will whether those in charge that it wont go through 2. 1 in fact was so interesting is, is the way that many people in france murder about the evacuation of the camp in central paris last night and saw that bill was that they saw many of these images, this video footage or pictures of the police clearing this camp videos that circulated today, in fact, in the future may be the sort of thing that the government wants to crack down on. Now what has happened is the government has actually posed the m. P. s of actually post today in the national simply a new security nor in which theres a very controversial close that close basically cracks down in the dissemination the broad costal sharing online of any images of Police Officers on duty, not what the government to say. The lure is aimed at trying to protect the identity of Police Officers who do a very difficult job often in situations like demonstrations. But what rights activists many journalists are saying is this is simply an erosion of press freedoms, because what it will mean is that police will be less accountable if images and videos of them on juicy, cannot be shared. And that is why so many people come out to protest, theyre one of the main supporters of law is in fact the French Interior minister, who himself said that those images of the evacuation of the camp by police were rather shocking. Thank you very much indeed. Folks fatness, trying to help a greek island go green. The company is teamed up with the greek government to roll out an electric transport system on the i. And if successful, it could help your revolutionize transport and reduce Carbon Emissions transfer office as well. But in your view, says he works 365 days a year and so does his car carrying feed corn and water to his goats spread across many hillsides. To do this, he spends at least 7000 dollars a year on diesel. So the idea of an electric car that costs less to run appeals to him. If something is good for this island that it should happen. If it doesnt bother the goats and the grazing grounds and its good for the island that it should happen, german car make a volkswagen. It will sell people as that trick cars and factory prices, which the greek government will further subsidize. Charging stations will be installed in the islands parking lots. The idea is to eventually make all transport electric and to create a system of mobility on demand, whereby people can book a ride on a publicly owned car or scooter through a mobile phone app. Theres no need for everybody to own a car to do 5 kilometers, having 3 kilometers there. The point of this whole experiment is to see whether we can have fewer privately owned cars and less energy spent on transport. The man who wants to go further, like most islands, is powered by diesel generators during peak demand in the summer. They burn up to 7000 liters of fuel a day. Its an expensive way to produce electricity and electric mobility would further raise demand. So the mayor is seeking an investor to build a wind and solar power plant, going back to a nubile Energy Tradition because of its isolation. Has always been selfreliant just like greeces ancient city states. It produces most of its own food and has dam to this lake for water. The petrol economy made it dependent on fuel imports for its energy and transport. Now it is to revert to the selfsufficiency. It has always known. This is not music to everyones ears. Lease rents cars that run on petrol. And 3 years ago he built a petrol station because most of these are for the betterment. This frightens us a bit. It happened very suddenly. We werent informed. Decision came from the government and the mayor seems to have gone along with it. Our island is unspoiled and our businesses are small. We worry that an enormous corporation could upset that for the next 5 years, electric cars will be so cheap here, though, undercut conventional ones. But it marks the beginning of the end of the road for the fossil fuel economy. And if the experiment works in the us, the ballot, it could spread rapidly across europe, jumps out, opal us, aljazeera. Police in thailand have summoned 7 protest leaders to face charges of insulting the monarchy. It were the 1st time such charges have been applied in the country in more than 2 years.

The chinas abilities havent always matched its ambitions. Its long march rocket failed to successfully launched 3 times earlier this year. The Chinese Government gears based exploration is vital to boosting the economy and advancing technologies that will benefit the military and high end industries. Because of this aging as rapid progress in space has become another aspect of the us china rivalry. Nasa has been bad for collaborating with china due to security concerns. In may, the Trump Administration flagged what it described as chinas weaponize ing of space as a threat to the u. S. Beijing has dismissed the accusation, saying its space activities are peaceful. Its unclear whether china will share any lunas saddles. It brings back from this latest mission with the rest of the world. But discussions are reportedly underway with the European Space agency.
