Measures aimed at slowing the surge in new cases of covert. 19 plus a story of trauma and triumph in colombia. A former child soldier who was wounded in a bomb blast is now a champion cyclist with his eyes on glory in the next hour and then think again, its the u. S. Welcome to the program, u. S. President elect. Joe biden has introduced 6 key members of his cabinet and each has decades of experience in their particular field. He said, diplomacy and multilateralism are back and his new team will lead to by example. The transition to a Biden White House is picking up speed after President Trump cleared the way for a transfer of power. President elect joe biden has officially revealed his picks for the top positions of his countenance marking a clear shift away from chums america 1st doctor. And instead, a lot of familiar faces from the administration signaling bidens intention to return to multilateralism. 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 by good choices or policy veterans like his longtime adviser, anthony blinken, named to secretary of state. He will be tasked with bringing the country back into the paris climate agreement, the world health organization, and the iran nuclear deal. We cant solve all the worlds problems alone. We need to be working with other countries. We need their cooperation. We need their partners. The best known of the nominees is former secretary of state, john kerry, poised to become bidens Climate Change envoy. 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. I, former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen is set to service treasury secretary if confirmed she would be the 1st woman to take over this pivotal role and would face the difficult task of shaping u. S. Economic policies at a time when the country is facing a pandemic. And its economic fallout biden appears to be making good on his Campaign Promise to have a cabinet that reflects americas diversity. With his picks for the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations and the department of homeland security, he has also named the 1st woman to become director of National Intelligence question. But many of bidens cabinet picks will require confirmation in the senate, where republicans still hold a narrow majority. For now, at least with the transition process officially underway, some of the uncertainty and turbulence of the past 2 weeks seem to be settling down. While for more on this, thats cross over to washington, where our correspondent Stefan Simons is standing by for us. Our staff on joe biden has nominated some political veterans of walkin we expect from his administration. As mentioned in the report, you can absolutely expect the counter process and the counter design of what you believe donald trump and all trumps policies, as well as administration stood for. So i think the bottom line is, is the difference that america is as mr. Blinken said bank at the table and that means basically that the us is going to want to lead again. And that also requires, of course, that this administration, the incoming administration, understands that america actually needs to lead again. This is something, of course, arguably the trump illustration in the eyes of many experts and observers here never acknowledged they didnt want to lead. They want america 1st, focusing on domestic jobs and economy. And with that, leave Everything Else in front of the door. Speaking global terms, this is going to change absolutely dramatically, but make no mistake. To put this in context by the administration. And they know that the incoming by mr. Bush would be absolutely ill advised if they focus only on International Relations flow. Bl, Global Cooperation with allies. It is also very important for this administration. You will see this in the coming days when he introduces other cabinet picks. It is also absolutely critical that he keeps a little bit of this america 1st american jobs economy focus. Dont forget, 12000000, americans are still without a job due to covert to do the due to the covert 1000 crisis. So certainly its going to look at little bit different will say, to the trumpet ministration. I biden has chosen a very diverse cabinet for a what can only be described as a very divided nation. How do you think thats going to play . Can they unite the country . I think this, i think they think they can and i think thats the end. And alice is shows that this is they think the only way they can do this. Where are you really dont trump and hit ministration was decisive and polarizing people. They trying joe biden, and his administration here proven by those picks and probably others to, to come. They are trying to counter concept here again diverse, a multitude of very, very experienced people but from different walks of lives. And that will bring, hopefully they think america together, and that is absolutely critical. Youre absolutely right. Well, what about President Trump . Because will he be making coal to president elect joe biden, to congratulate him on his victory . Because at the moment its sort of very young, clear what exactly his next steps may be. Yeah, i think thats pushing it a little bit. I dont expect, and i dont know anybody who would expect president donald trump, to pick up the phone and feel the correctly call to president elect joe biden. He didnt even concede the only thing the president did today, for example, was a 32nd News Conference where he said the dow jones hit a record high. Thank you all because i did this, then this press conference was over and the 2nd biggest thing he did today, he pardoned a turkey. This is a light hearted tradition at the white house today was pardoning day for the turkey aware of the things giving a holiday coming up here. So that was as far as donald trump went today, there is, i think, a very, very, very high possibility that he will not call president elect biden, and he will not ever use the word conceit, Stefan Simons in washington, thanks for that update. Well, take a look at some other stories making headlines this hour. International donor countries at a conference in geneva have pledged more than 10000000000 euros in aid for afghanistan.

And just last week, chancellor Angela Merkel had called for tougher measures in so must backs of the countrys lockdown. But it was met with resistance. The pressure is on put a German Government to ease restrictions for the most important time of the year. For many christmas, so that gratian right. No balanced endowment marked square would usually be packed with people and show you the christmas market. Its been cancelled.

Its national, its going to happen, but it is what it is. You know its, theres no policy thats ever going to be 100 percent approved by the government. I dont understand why restriction would be east for christmas. Perhaps one should stick to them, but i also see what happens with people when they lonely and happy. So our consular much about it, but i just talk about it because i also see how it is in hospitals. Thats where i work. All. Yes, its sad not to celebrate christmas as usual, but how else the measures taken are important and necessary . And does always skype, so is c. The decision on christmas is expected to become firmed wednesday following talks between state premiers and chancellor Angela Merkel. The overall situation remains critical. As you have High Expectations as a parliamentary group, until now we have begun to see a short trend of lower figures in terms of inspections, which means the exponential growth could be stopped. But thats not enough. We need lower figures, especially for christmas summit, and so our christmas isnt the only separation thats on the line.
