He was congratulating trump for his a win in becoming remaining in office hes also talked about biden in the past suggesting that biden as president would be one of the weakest u. S. President s in history but lets not forget he has a personal ties in the game here because maloney trump the current 1st minister the cut current 1st lady is of course from slovenia. When we heard also one of the people who was congratulating of course joe biden was german chancellor Angela Merkel i mean under the trumpet mystery u. S. German relations havent been completely painstaking specially of the nato how much could change could things change under biter. Well and of merkel the chancellor of germany is known as being as stoically to somebody who famously will try and get along with everyone but even she has struggled to have a relationship with trump shes been frustrated it seems by trumps nationalistic policies and his erratic style the fact that he takes to twitter to make announcements and we know that that relationship deteriorated to a point when there were the d. Day commemorations back in 2001000 the 2 leaders didnt shake hands there germany in the u. S. Have been at loggerheads over the last few years trump has been unhappy with the german plus the trade surplus and has as a result of that threaten to put tariffs on german cars something which germany is very fretful of back theres also been really big disagreements that the north stream to pipe is pipe that will bring gas directly from russia to germany germany thinks that you know this is an Important Development to ensure the stability of the flow of gas in the future for europes needs trump has been unhappy about that and in fact the u. S. Has placed sanctions on businesses and companies that are involved in that project so theres been so many different issues between the 2 come countries that Angela Merkel will be hoping that with biden presidency there will be this opportunity to renegotiate to perhaps sort of balance the books a little bit and start a relationship off on a better keel and of course Angela Merkel is stepping down as the german chancellor in 2021 and shell be hoping to hand over a stronger transatlantic relationship between germany and the u. S. Because germany really does rely on the u. S. For economic stability and also its security so its a really cool relationship. Absolutely and we also know that trump is pulled the United States quite controversially out of a number of International Agreements and denies ations he is now being one to do things the normal way quote unquote but what are the chances that biden could come in and rivas these decisions and do you think the European Community would welcome that. Well we already know that biden has made a number of commitments well start with the paris climate to court this is something that was negotiated when president obama was in office when trump came into office he decided the u. S. Wasnt going to stay in that and actually the u. S. Has removed itself from the paris climate agreement in the last few days biden said if he became the next president of the United States on day one in office he would sign back up to that agreement and in fact that was one of the things that many of the leaders were talking about on social media on saturday evening is the fact that welcoming america back into the fold when it came to fighting Climate Change one german m. P. Actually said that she was literally crying at that result knowing that biden would resign up to the Paris Climate Accord but there are also other issues as well this is a rainy a nuclear deal something that president machen here in france really tried to keep the e. U. The u. S. Part of that failed also you know really tried everything including flying in your rain in Foreign Ministry to a g. 7 summit meeting in 2019 that failed to get trump back round the negotiating table with the iranians and of course there is also the World Health Organization something that trump started the removal of the u. S. Early this year saying that essentially china was controlling it this was and thats when he made back in may joe biden also saying that his 1st day in office again he will also make sure that that doesnt happen so the european leaders are sensing from joe biden that they may have more stability over the next 4 years and that is something that they really craving some sort of clear stable relationship with the u. S. But lets be clear joe biden has made a lot of promises if he is the next president of the United States but regardless of what he has to do in terms of global issues hes going to have so much on his plate domestically that those issues may not be top of the pile. What is Something Interesting these are 2 characters who really all post offices have each other one so sort of out wouldnt charismatic biden sort of more interest its at never to be going to be reflected in the policies will be interesting to follow without that was shot a d. Bensky reporting from paris could see this evening. While watching all its international on well be back in just a moment with all the latest coming in from the u. S. And. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person those with. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. The why on the way up even down with the white house. In the soil or how i dont think its the fault of okolona. Top that wonderful telecom oh my. Darling 6 6 2. This is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us did leave leave who lives out there but were not. The person that is accusing this employee they are considered the most dangerous of criminals shes in a still. All be off 23 hours of the day tell me that its not enough punishment it will do the women on death row. Join me every thursday on the alex im unsure and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back to our team and to our breaking news from the u. S. Where me tell projecting that joe biden has been elected the 42nd president of america having secured 298 up to a College Votes now just a reminder of course 270 are needed for victory the form of the piece win in his home state of pennsylvania helped push him across the threshold donald trump meanwhile stands at 214 jubilation in many parts of the country bought dont trump cynical team has filed rule suits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and nevada there is a battleground states this year and says it could go all the way to the supremes quote claims he has won on social media after criticizing feiten for laying out he claims to the white house we all know why joe biden is rushing to full sleep pose as the we know and why hes media and lawyers are trying to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed and with trump gets the Supreme Court to consider his case it would echo the election 20 years ago when it effectively handed the presidency to george w. Bush is going underground host option. Spoke with trumps impeachment lawyer on the president s chances of winning any legal battle. If you lose or use the election by losing pennsylvania theres a strong argument that his lawyers d can make that pennsylvania should not count ballots that came in late its a technical argument but its the argument that prevailed in bush versus gore d and there are already 3 or 4 justices who agree with that argument but it would take a combination of circumstances during the election to bring that case into a posture where you would win in the court so i think its unlikely he will prevail in the courts but thats his best shot what sort of time scale are we talking about would it be about a month as it was in 2000 with bush and gore i think well have a result within weeks not months in pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think from always had in mind the 300 judges that were appointed under his Administration Given that he had already been suspecting vote tampering well i think he there are a lot of reasons why he wanted to appoint lots of judges his base wants conservative judges but i think part of the reason may very well have been as a backstop as a protection in the event that he had to take the election to court any president would think in those terms supporters of trump say he shouldnt have given that press conference on the night saying there is fraud and waited a little bit do you think that will affect any Court Outcome because he was alleging both little fruit even before the election and of course on the night rather than saying this is the state of play at the moment well wait and see i dont think that kind of statement affects the courts it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believed and i dont think it will have any impact either electorally or judicially. Well the selection has been anything but smooth and takes a look at some of the international reaction. Of all the adjectives to describe democracy which stands for giving the people the right to choose who is in charge the man who stood up to take over the white house didnt pick fair stable or strong democracy sometimes messy it sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with the system of government governance and the envy of the world just messy or its just gotten way too messy and his country we have received reports of many irregularities we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud Trump Campaign says theyre going to court the biden Campaign Says its ready for court fights protests bite from supporters and a series of vote fraud allegations by the president himself trump will go to war over this election and that is dangerous for this country there is quite a list of things appearing as cracks in the system take the mail in voting in times of covert when the nation was meant to rely on it at one point the Postal Service warned it couldnt cope the president flushed the method altogether saying it would lead to a rigged poll if you read some of these pieces there have been plenty of such the media has been questioning the confidence in us democracy here its been watching the mess in the wings with raised eyebrows but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise i would democracies are in danger the billing in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the United States its important that the result is the accepted by everyone is easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be. Trumps late night speech puts a question mark over his possible 2nd term in office it is hard to imagine what the 2nd sound would look like when the president directly code for the appellation of the rules of democracy hes called to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy heres a voice of concern from allies to pat. We can say for the United States to get into turmoil and confusion because of the election is a minus for its allies and like minded countries but perhaps the most fascinating thing to observe is the smear by americas foes after so many times washington told them how wrong things are with their elections. What a spectacle one says this is the most fragile and election in u. S. History who says that the president whos currently you know this is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u. S. Elections and u. S. Democracy are we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States and we hate it when they pretend to give lessons in democracy to the world these beauts and refusal of Election Results were supposed to only take place in developing states things have changed over this have occurred in the us which is no longer synonymous with a stable civilised and consensus based society now just for a giggle let me read out one tweet as an official one country a calls on country b. s leaders to show commitment to the democratic process and rule of law we urge all parties groups and individuals to engage in inclusive dialogue to find Peaceful Solutions to their disagreements to heal National Divisions full stop its a tweet by the u. S. Embassy country a in ivory coast country b. From the 4th oh the irony theres a reason a lot of western european nations stopped doing mail in ballots a long time ago france stopped in 1975 because the process is rife with fraud and i have to tell you i think its incumbent upon the trunk campaign to say al gore took 37. 00 days to litigate florida were going to go litigate and were going to demand recounts some were going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin and michigan in pennsylvania in nevada in arizona we want to get to where we have free and Fair Elections where every legal vote is counted in a trustworthy and transparent way the American People deserve it i was wishing and hoping that last night trump was going to look into the camera and say im demanding a free and Fair Election that the American People can trust not for myself but for you because you deserve it and i think the scary thing in all of this is. At the end of the day no matter who ultimately wins how of the population of america is going to think the election has been stolen that is a very dangerous place for us to be in as a country. While while as we just had the trumpet ministration many of his supporters will believe that this election has been stolen you can see right the spit on your screen on the left of the left i believe its new york on the right its obviously washington thats the white house there are people out in full showing that support the clearly the man that they put. d in full that is a fools joe biden who looks out to be the force that u. S. President. Of the day the crowds were a bit larger and the big apple people were out that done saying singing chairing filming showing american flags it was such me a scene of jubilation it slightly more mellow now in d. C. You can see also people out in force its a nail biter of a foretaste but its the need to leave him looks like to fight its going to take over the house at the end of that long enough and. Were joined now by Betsy Brown A Smith who is a retired Chicago Police officer and National PoliceAssociation Member but she welcomes program its always good to have you 1st off quite generally i just want to ask what you make of this whole situation. Wow this is a tense week of course in the United States and it needs to be noted that joe biden has not been certified as the winner of our president ial election i think im not a political pundit im the spokesman for the National Police association but you know were going to see how this plays out in the courts but as these crowds are gathering and as the news comes in that we really dont know who is one of the presidency its going to be problematic for american Law Enforcement to keep the peace especially in these large urban areas. But i just had a quick question how do you think you know with in the United States right now the relationship between protesters and police being at a tense moment i would say how do you think a biden presidency is going to influence the way the kind of instability in the United States right now. Well i would hope that whoever wins this election gets out there and i mean thats all our leaders not just the president ial candidates but all of our leaders on both sides of the aisle need to get out there and say whoever wins this is our process we need to trust the process as it plays out and then they need to ask people not to violently a riot you know protesting is fine demonstrating is fine celebrating is fine and thats what Police Officers right now are helping people do we need new york and in washington d. C. But i think tonight if that turns violent then all of our leaders need to step up and ask people to be calm to demonstrate legally because its going to be difficult for american Law Enforcement we get hurt when people write it but i do want to ask you. You are as a representative of Law Enforcement you yourself are part of part of the force now under trump obviously hes been very vocal norn what a president a lot of people have come out and support stand they like his tough line a bite in the hire a sense a bit more mixed messages you know weve had a saying that its a concept to define the police which is obviously a very controversial idea all there any concern from a professional point of view for you about a potential. Ticket. Well american Law Enforcement has enjoyed 4 years of the most pro Police President weve ever had and both joe biden and come ali harris have made some frankly outrageous statements when it comes to please joe biden has said in the debates that youre a pretty young person of color a in american Law Enforcement officer is likely to shoot you in the head we keep being called racist and other just eval horan terms but heres the thing the bottom line is no matter who is our president when this is all shakes out american Law Enforcement has to go out and do police work and were going to do that regardless of the politicians in charge. Well thats us as a representative of Law Enforcement what do you think about these allegations of Election Fraud going on i mean theres theres there hasnt been any conclusive evidence to prove one way or another but there have there have been a lot of irregularities so what do you think about that. Its very concerning as a as a Law Enforcement officer its very concerning as an american you know this is nothing new i come from chicago i was a suburban Chicago Police officer but in chicago in cook county from the time that i was a child there was always talk of fraud and dead people voting and things like that the United States really needs to get a handle on our Voting System and is there fraud in our in this system purely from everything im seeing there are some problems i know the f. B. I. Saying go sharing this is going to play out in the courts as a Law Enforcement officer its very frustrating but what im more concerned about is that with day to day safety in our cities and the longer this plays out and the more tense people become the more dangerous it becomes for our citizens the more dangers to becomes our business and of course the more dangerous it becomes for american Law Enforcement i know will perceive this is a time when its all kind of people speculation but if indeed to egg it does go to the courts as strong and look set to do you know he really is not willing to go down he feels that huge injustice is happening and of course 70000000 americans agree with him you know 17000000 who voted for him how do you think it could potentially play out do you think that hes got the upper hand to the momentum is with him. Well i guess weve got to look at it from a legal standpoint and we have to go back to 2000 and remember what happened with gore bush and and how it took what i think overall a month for that to be decided i really have no idea how this is going to play out i currently live in arizona and we are still counting and its not just to understand its not just a president ial election that is problematic here where i live we have down ballot races where we still dont know who won and thats really disconcerting as an american citizen. Well thats you know as you said you said the trump was one of the most supportive of the police one of the president s most supportive of the police how do you think this new presidency is going to impact racial relations in the United States and specifically the black lives matter movement. Well if joe biden and kemal harris ultimately wins this election they have made a lot of promises 0 to the black lives Matter Organization and they have talked so much about reimagining policing defunding the police theyve made a lot of promises heres what heres whats going to happen i believe is that American Life is going to continue as it is and american Police Officers are going to have to continue to use deadly force so youre going to have at some point somebody is going to get shot by a Police Officer and theres going to be a big shock to the people that voted for joe biden is that all the sudden the police dont stop using force were going to continue to go on and do police work and i dont think that biden and harris are going to be able to keep the promises that they have made to fundamentally change how Law Enforcement does business well sucking its a kind of a ted as old as time that a politician who wants to get into the highest seat on the lawn wants to promise as much as possible but then realizes that its not that easy while we dont envy you its a tough couple of days but also to see just a tough job doing what you guys are doing well as brett and brett benson brought in a smith a retired Chicago Police officer and National Police association my boys good to see you thanks so much pat see you very much. 1 7 screen lection season that seemingly deepened the rest on to fish and all of us so i had seen the 2 camps on out in the hundreds in support of fighting on trump right now with crowds gathering in washington d. C. New york going to tell thea and all the major cities across the country. Some control from middle class to homeless muslim are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that have either have some some Health Issues or have some of it out of trick of bad luck a full time job wont always pay for a place to live and missing just a months rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. Better catch up real quick or youre going to have a judgment of possession against you and get a ticket by anyone thats homeless is treated like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time its not the case see how it is to be pole in the worlds richest country. Anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we our problems are over simply not true the problems were there for President Trump theyre not going away. For the economy in the long room youre going to have huge debt then youre going to do 3rd we still have a problem in the United States which raises too many young are going to american. Jails are going possessions or some of those problems are. Simply dont produce not does not. Is youll be dia a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Tyson nation will community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or and maybe the shallowness of. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Projections put joe biden the white house as the 42nd us president as the key state of pennsylvania to class more but spoke out Vice President elect to comment on harris described the way in as not just about asa she said hug congratulation. Believe it we did it. Here given that a president of the United States. Donald trump declared victory for himself in the election that could still be a twist though as the republicans know until 601 late so
