The Biden Campaign has set two people they feel have been out this statement on behalf ofjoe critical in getting out the vote here in georgia. Just quickly fill us biden. Here in georgia. Just quickly fill us in on something they think to be important in georgia. We want to know the result of the state for the president ial campaign butjoe biden will take over the presidency, it looks at the moment, with a republican controlled senate. That will limit the amount he can do to control the agenda, particularly domestically. We are still waiting for results on two states which could tip it, unlikely, but that is the democrats last best hope to try we can say mr biden is going to be and get control of the senate . Addressing the nation at apm, in the democrats last best hope to try and get control of the senate . M the democrats are going to take control of the senate it all depends seven hours time. Eight oclock. On georgia. Both seats were held by mrtrump has said seven hours time. Eight oclock. Mr trump has said his opponent has republicans and both were up for falsely posed as the winner and he election in this election. Both will go intoa was not the winner. He went on to election in this election. Both will go into a round on the 5th of january and if the democrats take say. Both of them they will have 50 senate seats. At the election ofjoe biden now, it means Kamala Harris joe biden is the president elect. He can cast a vote to break the tie. Will be the 46th president of the United States. They will make sure they can take over the two seats and hopefully get after four long, tense days, in their candidates to take over.

Joe biden will be americas ta ke the final chance for democrats to take over the senate. Those two next president. It came after the names. Aye we know your president ial latest batch of votes from contest is still going on. He does pennsylvania, which meant he opened up pennsylvania, which meant he opened upa lead pennsylvania, which meant he opened not need there Electoral College up a lead of over 30,000 against his votes but i am sure he would still rival, donald trump. We can predict like to have them. It is within thatjoe biden will win pennsylvania striking distance. A few thousand and nevada, putting him over the 270 votes difference betweenjoe biden electoral votes he needs to become leading and President Trump. It looks like if it goes on to a week the 46th president of the united and, like it will go on to a recount, a lot of people saying we states. In cities across america that tend to be more liberal, the cant do not change much. Given the party is starting to celebratejoe 7000 or so votes byjoe biden is bidens victory for the people honking horns and hugging in the ahead, he might still win georgia and flipped georgia, which has not streets. This morning donald trump went to play golf, something he will happened since they won georgia in soon have a lot more time to do. Although the reality of his 1992. Democrats are salivating about situation was made clear to him as that possibility and hope they will the motorcade swept into his golf win the recount. Ok. As he weighed club. The president throughout has been tweeting furiously going full caps lock. 0ne red. Last nightjoe on all the important results from biden gave another holding georgia. Statement, increasingly confident, assured that the tide of history is there will be a tonne of attention paid to georgia injanuary, which is flowing in his direction. We do not when the run off is. Have a final declaration of victory yet but the numbers tell us it is joining me now is brendan boyle. Clear, tell us a clear and convincing story. We are going to your reaction. Youll stay tipped win this race. Biden, at 77 years him over. Your reaction to the news old, will become americas holders president. In temperament and outlet this morning .

I endorsed joe biden divided country. The president is 18 months ago on his very first day of the race. We campaigned for him. Determined to fight. His lawyers are fanning out across the country. What we were with him a few days ago on is the case . There are allegations aplenty but substance is spent. It sunday. To know that a result in my may be Donald Trumps tenure is ending and the word he hates the most is attached to him, loser, as city when he clenched pennsylvania he moves towards the exit. Pushed us over the number of 270, it isa pushed us over the number of 270, it is a wonderfulfeeling. Pushed us over the number of 270, it is a wonderful feeling. pushed us over the number of 270, it is a wonderful feeling. I do not know if you have heard the news but lets have a look at those pictures from new york city where people are we are projecting a swell that celebrating. Crowds are now turning nevada has now been called as well out. As people started to hear the forjoe biden. That is six electoral news, they took to their cars and couege forjoe biden. That is six Electoral College votes. Projecting as they were honking everywhere. They well. What is clear is that are crowding into times square, president Electjoe Biden has wearing mask most of them that there isa wearing mask most of them that there appealed for unity. Do you think is a pandemic going on. This week we had hit a Record Number of cases there is a realistic chance of the country can come together under here in the United States of President Biden . A couple of points Coronavirus Infections and the on that. It looks likejoe biden president s handling of the will have won by more than 5 million coronavirus was on the block, votes, more than the margin that really, the whole campaign. This is barack 0bama won in 2012 when he a major topic of discussion during the campaign. Exit polls suggested defeated mitt romney. It is a it was not the primary concern of reasonably close race but not that americans but the economy was but close in the end. Your point is well the number of deaths in the united taken. When you look at states was something that was raised congressional results when democrats during the campaign, the whole time. I want to quickly read a statement maintain the house narrowly. It looks like we have come up a bit from former president barack 0bama, short in the senate. This is a who has sent out a statement as pretty divided country. That may be well, congratulating joe biden. I shoots joe couldnt be prouder to congratulate pretty divided country. That may be shootsjoe bidens best skills, oui couldnt be prouder to congratulate our next president , joe biden, and someone shootsjoe bidens best skills, someone who first instinct is to oui our next president , joe biden, and reach across the aisle and attempt our next president , joe biden, and our next first lady, jill biden. I to unite people. They were also couldnt be prouder to congratulate Kamala Harris for her criticised by progressives during the primaries who thought he was too Ground Breaking election as our next Vice President. Under circumstances bipartisan. Ultimately people never experienced, americans turned thought it more of an asset and out in numbers never seen them once every 30 is counted, president elect liability. He has appealed for unity. To pick up on what you are biden and Vice President elect saying, barack harris will have won an historic and unity. To pick up on what you are saying, ba rack 0bama unity. To pick up on what you are saying, barack 0bama came into office in 2008, also wanting a decisive victory. Sojoe biden has won the race to become the next purple america, thinking he could president , defeating donald trump by reach across the aisle to following a cliffhanger vote crank. Republicans and it really did not work out that way for him. I am just here is nick bryant with a profile wondering. You know the vice of the president count. President Electjoe Biden, whether he has come away from that he has one of the most electrifying experience as barack 0bamas Vice President , thinking it is not smiles in us politics. Joe biden has possible to work with republicans. Mitch mcconnell ofs the will be fulfilled his personal american dream. He is about to become the defeat him and perhaps he will give occu pa nt of up defeat him and perhaps he will give up trying to across the aisle to dream. He is about to become the occupant of the white house. This former Vice President was the candidate who offered softjazz republicans. Mitch mcconnells after the heavy metal of the trump yea rs after the heavy metal of the trump years was that easy listening aim. The fact he has a personal moderation. A presidency americans relationship with Mitch Mcconnell will help. He reached an agreement could have on in the background. Eight years of donald trump could fundamentally change who we are in a in 2012, probably the most significant we have had in the last significant way. Never the most decade. I will say i am also inspiring candidates but his geniality made him hard to demonise. Realistic. 0ne decade. I will say i am also realistic. One thing that concerns a quick word for the bbc. Me, notjust realistic. One thing that concerns me, not just about the realistic. One thing that concerns me, notjust about the us, but in geniality made him hard to demonise. A quick word for the bbci geniality made him hard to demonise. A quick word for the bbc. I am other western democracies. The fact irish. Joe biden. The white house people can self select news sources. Has long been the target of his they can go to websites or watch tv ambitions. His first president ial stations to reinforce their bid was 1987. He tried again in 2008 worldview. That is a real challenge that ended up getting their second to democracy and the entire western world and something that still slot as Vice President to barack concerns me and we have to grapple 0bama. It gives the internet one last chance to talk about our with. I want to ask you about an issue affecting particularly the uks relationship with the united bromance. Despite the generation states. We have spoken about this gap, they had a bond like brothers. Before. We know boris had a good recognition to this pillar of the relationship with donald trump, washington establishment, of his particularly on brexit and a decades in public service. His personal narrative is one of post brexit uk trade relationship. Joe biden and barack 0bama were not repairing grief. In the early 70s he lost his first wife and baby in favour of brexit. They said so daughter in a car accident. Five yea rs daughter in a car accident. Five years ago he had to bury his quite publicly. How do you see the grown up son who died of cancer. It relationship between the uk prime was a life story that found an echo minister borisjohnson relationship between the uk Prime Minister Boris Johnson and relationship between the uk Prime Minister borisjohnson and their future President Joe Biden panning in the sorrowful times. Was a life story that found an echo in the sorrowful timeslj was a life story that found an echo in the sorrowful times. I would like out and the impact that might have to say, we will be back to normal on uk relations with the united next friday. The coronavirus meant states . On uk relations with the United States . Boris johnson was one of the he spent much of the sequestered in few World Leaders with whom donald his home. He almost became invisible trump had a Good Relationship stop candidate. As the method of nonetheless, at the end of the day, campaigning became a campaigning it is not about a personal issue in itself and he kept his relationship between the head of state and the head of government in social distance and cast himself as the uk, it is about the nation the anti tram, almost portraying states and the us and the uk will this election as good versus evil. If you entrust me with the a lwa ys states and the us and the uk will always have a close relationship. Specifically with regards to brexit, presidency, i will draw on the best of us and not the worse. I will be joe biden has made his thoughts clear about the sanctity of the an ally of the light, not the darkness. When results started coming in on Election Night, it has agreement.

It does not make a lot of claimed the election was far from over and joe biden is not the sense to me. What do you hate joe winner. He said from monday his biden will bring to the presidency . Campaign. Let me bring you that so many people believe there is a important update from nevada. The system. Like an education of people. Bbc projecting that joe important update from nevada. The bbc projecting thatjoe biden has one nevada, all six college votes. Do you think now thatjoe biden has that puts him at 279 electoral won the election that all the talk about electoral fraud and lawsuits couege that puts him at 279 Electoral College votes to Donald Trumps 214. Will recede a bit into the lets go straight over to nevada. Background . If we have learned anything from donald trump, he will not give up from this. He has no basis for it. There has been no evidence that any fraud has taken place anywhere and i think the legal this is going to be good news for syste m place anywhere and i think the legal system will show that. I am hoping the president elect. Out this is going to be good news for the president elect. In the last 15 system will show that. I am hoping our institutions can prevent any true issues from coming up. I do not minutes we heard the news. It was think they will let it go but we looking increasingly bad for donald know that joe biden trump. At one point there were 8000 think they will let it go but we know thatjoe biden is think they will let it go but we know that joe biden is the winner. Votes in it and then as results came thank you forjoining us. I appreciate your time very much. Two out, it was 20,000. Yesterday it was relieved and happy joe appreciate your time very much. Two 22,000. This morning biden was ahead relieved and happyjoe biden supporters who are hoping that donald trump will accept the result. 26,000. That is roughly what hillary i never it is very noisy. I could clinton won this state by in 2016. Not hear very much of what they were saying that i can tell you they are the votes being counted in the Election Centre behind me are not happy. Now fulsome international helping him. The provisional votes reaction. Borisjohnson we re helping him. The provisional votes happy. Now fulsome international reaction. Boris johnson has were split 50 splash 50. Half of happy. Now fulsome international reaction. Borisjohnson has tweeted his congratulations. Them were mail in ballots. Republicans have said around 10,000 votes are fraudulent, that people we re votes are fraudulent, that people were not living here when they from ireland, Michael Martin has voted. If biden wins by 30,000, tweeted. 40,000, that is almost immaterial, evenif 40,000, that is almost immaterial, even if they were overturned, biden would still win here. He wants to there is a lot back and forth ta ke would still win here. He wants to take every state he can. You never between the uk, ireland and brexit know, a court case in pennsylvania issues. We can get into that in a might be helpful to donald trump. He little bit of time. Justin trudeau wa nts to might be helpful to donald trump. He wants to win as many state as possible. It now looks likejoe says. Biden has one nevada. A good point. He wants to squeeze out any potential path. We are looking at just three days after the us pictures of new york city. When formally left the Paris Agreement on nevada was called a few minutes ago, Climate Change, the mayor of paris was there. Have there been has tweeted. I celebrations where you are in las vegas . Where we are is basically a Climate Change, the mayor of paris has tweeted. I think the sentiment about welcome back, america, is one hanger in the middle of the desert. No one is here except for press. That will be shared by Many American allies around the world because they there is a trump demonstration which had found donald trump incredibly is planned in an hours time. I was difficult to work with. He has not valued traditional relationships and there last night. It was very rowdy. Lots of people with semi automatic operated in a traditional way with weapons here. They were in pretty allies. I think that sentiment will be shared by a lot of other people. Good spirits last night. There is a question as to whether that mood a narrow victory by president elect will change, whether there will be biden and it looks as if the senate more anger as to what has gone on, will stay in republican hands. What does that mean for the america he whether that mood will change into something more sinister. We will inherits . We are joined hang around for the next few hours does that mean for the america he inherits . We arejoined by a senior and can keep you updated on that. A nalyst, inherits . We arejoined by a senior analyst, whojoins inherits . We arejoined by a senior analyst, who joins me inherits . We arejoined by a senior analyst, whojoins me from new york. Thank you forjoining me. Everyone thank you. Is focused on the presidency. We are seeing celebrations around the country. If we want to look at how america is going to change over the next four years, we have to look at the fact i whether he holds the Laura Trevelyan is in the black lives matter plaza senate or not. If he does not and it near the white house in washington. Iimagine isa senate or not. If he does not and it is a Republican Senate, what canjoe i imagine they are still partying biden due to change the course of outside the white house. Oh, my america at the moment . A lot of the gosh. The party is getting more wild and more people arejoining it by ambitious, sweeping proposals that have been articulated over climate the second. 0ne change and energy, those will pretty and more people arejoining it by the second. One person celebrating joe bidens victory is richard much be dead on arrival with the rogers. You voted in florida, so you republican led senate. Lawmaking and did not get the state but your man one. What is your reaction . Relief. A lot of people are excited and full environmental regulations and the ofjubilee. For a lot of people are excited and full of jubilee. For me a lot of people are excited and full ofjubilee. For me it is relief that Treasury Department and things like peoples voices will be heard and we that. Things i have franchised power might get policy changes and unite a over. That is so relevant because bit more as a nation and fight polarisation. I know you feel very the judiciary over. That is so relevant because thejudiciary has over. That is so relevant because the judiciary has often intervened to prevent the from taking effect strongly about social justice, and it would also be subject to racial justice. It is strongly about social justice, racialjustice. It is one of the reversal another administration. Reasons he may tear to washington, dc. What changes do you think there will be with a joe biden presidency. Mitch mcconnell is the republican leader of the senate when barack i hope the communities that have been disenfranchised over time, i 0bama was president. He made it hope they will get a seat at the clear that his intention was to make table and be heard. I hope it biden sure barack 0bama was thwarted in presidency is not one where there is his agenda and defeated. Mitch a community of white men making mcconnell is republican leader of decisions for a broader community. I the senate. He will not be able to get much help from the republicans hope the biden presidency is one of representation where policy choices are made by those for whom they are and the senate. I think it is really just a fiscal stimulus package, to the most impactful. You are standing in front of the church where donald get the best Macro Economic trump cleared away Peaceful Protesters so he could stand with a environment. The champ bible for a photo opportunity at the height of the black lives matter administration will sanction. Protest. What did that say to you . It solidified the hypocrisy at the as the trump. In terms of yearning co re it solidified the hypocrisy at the core of his presidency. He claims he for reform, that will not be is the best president for black communities since lincoln. As soon achieved, unfortunately, unless the as people come together in the two georgia ran off Senate Elections streets to voice opinions, he shows he does not want to hear opinions of go their way. There is an outside dissidents. He does not truly care chance of that happening. The election is not really over. At about communities that have been disenfranchised. It was a clear least from a legislative point of view on january the 5th representation of the built in least from a legislative point of view onjanuary the 5th next least from a legislative point of view on january the 5th next year. What can he do on the issue which inequities we have had for so long. Donald trump did improve his has dominated this whole year, the standing against black male deities issue which has dominated the whole campaign and will be on the minds of and improved his standing with americans when it is over, and that hispanic voters. Voters. I think is the coronavirus. What can he do as president . The executive branch it is important to listen. A lot of what trump does is reactive. He responds immediately on twitter and has jurisdiction. As president . The executive branch hasjurisdiction. Dealing with throws out a crazy twitter conspiracy. I am throws out a crazy twitter conspiracy. Lam hoping throws out a crazy twitter conspiracy. I am hoping with biden states and getting the country to we may have more intellectual arrest the spread of the virus. Exit responses. I want him to hear what people are saying across the board. Polls suggested that americans were more concerned with the economy than i want people are saying across the board. Iwant him people are saying across the board. I want him to listen. That is what covid. But they are linked. From we need. People feel like they have not been heard for so long. The january the 20th onwards, there is a framework. I think there might be a white house is behind this security stimulus package to come before them fence. Do you feel confident that because winter is very much here and the president behind the fence, that donald trump is president for some he will respect a peaceful transfer days, so we would like to see of power . I cannot be sure. I would something soon. Hank you forjoining like to say yes. I know no matter us something soon. Hank you forjoining us from new york. There is only one what in january the like to say yes. I know no matter president ever at the United States what injanuary the secret like to say yes. I know no matter what in january the secret service will escort him out if he does not. At any one time. Thank you. He remains president until 20th of despite he will understand the importance of a peaceful transfer of january. Until then, joe biden is power in america. Thank you so much only president elect. He is building his Transition Team are putting into for joining power in america. Thank you so much forjoining us. Place all the structure so he can power in america. Thank you so much for joining us. One power in america. Thank you so much forjoining us. One of the many, many young voters who have turned ta ke place all the structure so he can take over as president on day one, out, wanted to have their voices january the 20th. In my heard and hoped joe biden can heal conversations with the Biden Campaign team, there is not much divisions they recognise all too clearly exist. Thatjoe biden can do about the coronavirus. If there is something laura from outside the white house. That happens, he can give a press statement or a press conference that that scene at black lives matter he cannot take any action until plaza has been the scene are quite a lot of history with protests in the january the 20th. He can build a wa ke lot of history with protests in the wake of the killing of george floyd. Tea m january the 20th. He can build a team that he cannot do anything. We that was the centre of them. It is are getting into the winter months where Peaceful Protesters were tear and we are seeing numbers spike. We gassed. By the president came out are warned by doctors it is a and gave that strange photo perilous moment. You can see it opportunity with a bible outside the might be frustrating for church. This is a moment that many president elect biden but there is nothing he can do but get his team people in washington, dc have waited ready to take over injanuary. For macro years for. They have been wanting to get President Trump out former president barack 0bama of office ever since he was actually to over in a similar moment of crisis in 2008 when the economy inaugurated. Four years. There will be a lot of republicans and was tanking. He said he could not be supporters are President Trump who prouder of next President Joe Biden are not happy with this result. How and first ladyjill biden. Did president Electjoe Biden get over the line . As he will know, he goes on to say. Throughout this president ial campaign, we have been focused not on all of the states. Most american we were just talking about back, states have been predictable. We acknowledging the result shows the have focused on smaller states which have focused on smaller states which have been swing states or country is bitterly divided. President 0bama says. He finished potentially in play. On Election Night the news is betterfor the president. He took texas. Joe biden by saying. Former president jimmy hoped he had an outside chance of carter has just weighed in, taking. President trump took 0hio by saying. Former president jimmy carter hasjust weighed in, saying roslin choice me in congratulating and iowa as well. Later on, as the joe biden and Kamala Harris. It was account is back at the count went on, two crucial projections came in. A well run campaign and we look forward to positive change. We are the count went on. Joe biden was at his headquarters in delaware. I in the driving seat. This map imagine there might be a lot of greeted us when we got up today. We wa nted greeted us when we got up today. We powers at the drive in rally. What wanted to see whetherjoe biden are we expecting . Cars. Could reach from 253 to the magic number of 270. A number of different routes but the state where he spent some of his childhood, pennsylvania, got him over the line. Joe biden got powers at the drive in rally. What are we expecting . Cars. Drivein rallies have been central to thejoe Biden Campaign. We will see over to 273. While we wait on something similar tonight. We are georgia, arizona, alaska, they will seeing cars driving around this not affect the outcome of this area, honking their horns with election. In the last hour, another people gathering at the gates as close as they can get. This is a state has been projected forjoe biden. Nevada also goes on to his secure area. People are quite excited. I am sure we will hear a total. Needless to say the count goes on in georgia, where we have lot of horn honking. It will be quite a party. We are expecting mr been focused and awful lot. There will be a recount. It will not alter biden to speak and vice the fact thatjoe biden is president elect Kamala Harris to president elect and pennsylvania got speak. That will get under way him over the line and nevada at his around eight oclock local time, total still further. At. The weak prime time here in the United States and something for which there had been many false starts. They have got sound systems and everything prepared and rehearsals done. I think there will be quite an excited spirit tonight. People have been waiting for this moment as he had seen waiting for this moment as he had seen from reaction around the country. Lets talk more about the pound exactly as expected, we know transition process. You have it will take a long time to count seen. These votes, partly because the transition process. You have seen. Donald trump is still states that took a longer time president of the United States. He werent used to processing some of is still on his golf course in the states that took a longer time werent used to processing semi absentee ballots, or just virginia. What happens to any werent used to processing semi absentee ballots, orjust took longer and we knew that coming in. Transition process . In terms of why the networks called it when they did, i think we just looked at the mouth and when they got to a point where they had he can assemble his team, you can reasonable certainty, the chips put teams into the different fell. I think, agencies to start to take over, reasonable certainty, the chips fell. Ithink, again, all very usually you have Transition Teams predictable unfolding of events, that work with the officials already giving the vote totals. Can you just there from the previous talk about what the Trump Campaign administration. They basically work out the staffing, the changes in is saying and the president is saying himself, about the legitimacy staffing, the handovers of of this call . Because here is the information, policies, that kind of Trump Campaign, and it is about thing. The biogenic camp has not these legal cases, saying our been clear in their own minds about campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to make sure election how helpful the Trump Administration laws are held out and that the would be. So far, according to reports leading up to the election, American People are entitled to an honest election. Is basically anyway, they had fairly good relations with officials but i think saying, we have ongoing legal suits and therefore it is too early to make the call, is there some fairness in that . It is certainly a theyre prepared to pretty much do it on their own if they had to, because they are experienced alumni case in the american system candidates are free to challenge the from the 0bama years. Which will outcomes and state law will guide what kinds of litigation can be also see is an attempt to get a brought to. This is certainly a diverse staff and cabinet in place close election, so it is not out with the realm of possibility that they been talking about how diverse it can be located. The important thing to remember is you dont get candidates were, in terms of female very far thing to remember is you dont get veryfar in thing to remember is you dont get very far in court unless you have candidates, candidates of colour, people from the left wing, and mr evidence and that, we havent seen biden will want to see that so evidence and that, we havent seen so far. Could we . Is it possible reflected in the appointments he makes. So will those elements of the party, of course, and there are that any of these state results going to have quite a lot of could be overturned . That any of these state results could be overturned . For example, by lobbying to do. That will be a part these legal challenges . of the transition period as well. Could be overturned . For example, by these legal challenges . I think it is highly unlikely at this point the Biden Campaign wants to get the given we havent seen any evidence and given that, in this type of staffing for the white house not as litigation, totals typically dont quickly as possible, though such change by very much, for example, in assertions mr biden can make. And then the issues about cabinet a recount situation. So unless there officials who will be making is mysterious evidence that a Court Decisions a little later, not only because there will be a number of examines and agrees with, that shows candidates will have their own constituencies lobbying for them, some kind of widespread problem, i but also we will have to get the just dont see that happening, we senate to approve them, and if the senate to approve them, and if the senate is not controlled by the just dont see that happening, we just havent seen it. There is no democrats, and at this point it doesnt look as if it might be, then there there, century. We had a guest that will also affect the kind of on the programme, a republican candidates he picks. |j that will also affect the kind of strategist, a supporter of president , who said he didnt think candidates he picks. I do know the there was fraud, an illegitimate Trump Campaign and the biden election result. When people say campaign signed and exchanged a memorandum of understanding that was they dont think there is fraud in these mail in ballots, is thatjust negotiated through government officers. Didnt talk to each other because in history there hasnt been directly about it, but there was a fraud in the mail in ballots or memorandum of understanding that there would be a habitual peaceful because, this time around, in the 2020, we dont have evidence of transition of power if the situation fraud . I think the answer is both. Came to pass. They have said, i spoke to some people close to the after the last election in 2016, campaign, that they are hoping for President Trump alleged there are the best but preparing for the millions of millions of fraudulent ballots that had denied him the worst. What impact will it have on popular vote when, and he actually this transition if donald trump established a commission to search doesnt concede, doesnt. Decides for those votes that were fraudulent, and of course that that he is not going to co operate commission was disbanded, there was no evidence produced, so it doesnt with the brighton . Biden team. As have a good track record in terms of producing evidence of fraud. And there is insofar any evidence of fraud in their selection or you are saying, mr biden cannot do previously. That would be off the anything a policy wise until the scale to tip this election. The inauguration. What President Trump pandemic clearly change the way could issue some more executive americans voted, and i dont know if orders, takes a more action is to it was because of the pandemic and put in place policies that he feels so it was because of the pandemic and so many people voted by mail or or that his administration feels the because of the nature of the Trump Presidency but we saw an enormous biden team would want to reverse. Turnout this year, and many people that is one thing that they could like yourself would welcome the fact look out for. For example, from a so like yourself would welcome the fact so Many Americans took part in the Foreign Policy point of view, mr democratic process, do you think biden has said that he would rejoin that mail in votes, absentee voting, the Iran Nuclear Deal if iran is here to stay on this scale is. Resumed its commitments to the and do you think states like nuclear restrictions, and mr trans philadelphia, where the votes were administration has been very focused counted afterwards, causing a certain amount of confusion, well, ona administration has been very focused on a strong attitude against the going cell and terror, change the deal, on very, very tough sanctions. Mechanism of counting, so we get i think that we want to watch, more like a florida or 0hio whether they try to take more steps situation where the votes are to make it even more difficult to counted earlier . I would hope that return it to the deal. There are other places where there would be a Philadelphia Legislature would take sharp policy difference between mr a look at what they inflicted on biden and mrtrump their own state by not processing sharp policy difference between mr biden and mr trump that i will be watching to see if action would be absentee ballots earlier than they taken. In terms of the biden did, waiting until election day to campaign itself, they can organise start. 0ne did, waiting until election day to start. One thing thats clear after this election is that its very themselves quite efficiently, i useful for voters to have lots of think. Thank you. I suspect you will choices about how they cast their ballots. States where voters had be spending a lot of time and that choices like early voting or car park today in delaware keep absentee voting made it a lot harder to manage in a pandemic, so we hope warm, keep comfortable. James, you one of the reforms we see is not have a student of history, you know far more about American History than only do states reform their laws to i could ever hope to, so to explain this transition period for me, ensure elections are secure, but also that voters have greater choice because it does seem sort of crazy in terms of how they cast their to other countries, to think it must ballots. Thank you very much, useful be one of the longest transition periods in the world . Mexico is a contacts there, particularly in the longer one, the president gets light of what the Trump Campaign is elected in july and longer one, the president gets elected injuly and inaugurated in saying. Joe biden, drjoe biden, the december. Britain, of course, they kick them out the next day. You know it used to be a lot longer, itjust wife ofjoe biden is saying that he with the present was inaugurated in will be a present for all our march, the descent of the 1930s that families. The sign says, dr and was far too long and limited back to freezing winter, january the 20th. There is one piece of historical President Biden live here. She has trivia i got for you, president put her hand over the vice. This 0bama will be the first democratic is something thatjoe biden has wa nted is something thatjoe biden has wanted for decades and decades, this former president to be able to clap is his third attempt. Nice picture, and his Vice President at an by the way lets hear from a couple inauguration since 1837, and im never quite managed it since then. Thats about all for the trivia from of biden supporters gave us their indian how to present a light bite and get there . Thank you very much. Reaction. To win the american presidency, you need a majority in the electoral couege need a majority in the Electoral College and to get that, candidates have to win individual states. When so excited they do that, to get a certain america spoke, we won, we won every vote counted, we believed amount of Electoral College votes. To become president , they need 270 that our hearts that biden was best for the United States. And we made history, kamala, yes of those Electoral College votes. Biden and harris for victory now, america is in some degree politically predictable, we know they chant its all over california is very likely to go for the democratic candidates, louisiana 46, 46 for the republican candidates, so we end up focusing on relatively small number of swing states or music ymca battleground states. There are the ones we were watching closely and they are the ones that tell the by the village people. Story ofjoe biden becoming president elect. Not long after the polls shut on tuesday evening, initially, the better news was for donald trump in florida, in the southeast, rejected for the president from. Then 0hio, that gave sojoe biden has won the race to become the next us president , defeating donald trump following a cliff hanger vote count him a good start but knew he would after tuesdays election. Need more. There was a focus on wisconsin and michigan in the it were a lot about the reaction midwest, and pennsylvania too. Later from around the country, what you on, as the votes were being counted, think the reaction is going to be where you are on the other side of but started coming in forjoe biden. The pond . On the face of it, the wisconsin was projected for him, message and was projected for him. Leaders in europe, and elsewhere, are going to congratulatejoe biden. Weve already seen a statement put michigan was projected. When we out by Boris Johnson, woke up today, we knewjoe biden was weve already seen a statement put out by borisjohnson, statements 253, he needed 17 more. Our from senior officials in germany and elsewhere in the European Union as woke up today, we knewjoe biden was well, that is to be expected when 253, he needed 17 more. 0urfocus was on nevada, arizona, georgia and pennsylvania. Joe biden has a number someone well, that is to be expected when someone wins an election, theyjust queue up to say congratulations. Of different routes to 270. Then weve seen further referrals, just just a few months ago, there was the enter a turn in new zealand offering dramatic moment of pennsylvania being projected forjoe biden, her Jacinda Ardern enter a turn in new zealand offering her Jacinda Ardern in new enter a turn in new zealand offering putting him on 273 Electoral College her Jacinda Ardern in new zealand offering her congratulations, also votes, and he is now the president Justin Trudeau in canada. The test will not be whether congratulations elect. There are still counting in are offered, because that is arizona, which has been projected by expected, what were waiting to see how these relationships unfold. We fox forjoe biden, but not by the bbc. Fighter is now being projected bring in one of the bbcs political forjoe biden by the ap but not the correspondence, because Boris Johnson and joe biden will have an bbc, and we know george is going to interesting time, becausejoe biden recount. Were also waiting on north has been critical of some of the carolina and alaska. Not to say that approach that Boris Johnson has been critical of some of the approach that borisjohnson and his these states are not relevant or government are taken . Key has. Important for the people who voted in them, but in the end, whichever whats interesting, even in the choreography of the congratulations way these remaining states go will you are referring to there, there not impact on whetherjoe biden was a sense of the diplomatic becomes president or not, he has awkwardness, given the unconventional nature of what is what he needs. As i have been played out in the states, and explaining, the National Vote in crucially the absence of a america does not decide who becomes concession from President Trump. As president. Remember, Hilary Clinton tv networks in america and around got almost 3 million votes more than the world were calling the election to drop last time and she did not results are few hours ago, there was become president. But this is where a near instant reaction from sir keir starmer, the leader of the the popular vote is reached, 94 of votes counted, joe biden on 51 , opposition labour party, and from nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland. I was on to downing trump on 48 . The Biden Campaign is picked up more than 70 million street and the representatives of borisjohnson saying, are street and the representatives of Boris Johnson saying, are you street and the representatives of votes, more than any president ial borisjohnson saying, are you going to Say Something, how soon will you ticket has in history. Donald Say Something . And there was trumps figure is also historic, and nothing. Within 90 minutes, there was a statement, relatively quick by people saying with that volume of european standards. As you say, the americans coming behind the president for the fact he has not conventional congratulations from won the selection does not mean he the Prime Minister tojoe biden and is not a politicalforce won the selection does not mean he is not a Political Force and those to Kamala Harris. And dominic raab, around him or not a politicalforce. The first secretary of state, the will be watching very closely to see foreign secretary, also saying that how that plays out in the coming weeks and months. But the popular he was sending his congratulations, vote is not the story today, the acknowledges and it was a close contest and donald trump, in his story is this map, because even though some of these states have yet words, had fought hard. But it will to be protected, not have been be an interesting relationship, projected, with crucially because many have drawn parallels pennsylvania going into joe between President Trump and boris projected, with crucially pennsylvania going intojoe bidens johnson, some of the conservative column, meaning he has 273 electoral side here record that has a little couege column, meaning he has 273 Electoral College votes and he is the unfair, but they saw eye to eye on president elect. College votes and he is the president elect. Thank you so much. Brexit, huge Foreign Policy issue for the uk 0nce president elect. Thank you so much. Once again, that is the path to 270. Brexit, huge Foreign Policy issue forthe uk and brexit, huge Foreign Policy issue for the uk and we have seenjoe biden be outspoken and critical of lets come from a couple of biden the brexit process, particularly if supporters in philadelphia who gave us its seen to damage the good friday supporters in philadelphia who gave us their reaction. So exciting agreement and the whole argument america, we won this is whats best over the border on the island of ireland between the uk in the north for the night and says we made and the republic and the eu in the history, Kamala Harris, yes some of south. Where been speaking to someone south. Where been speaking to someone who was involved in that whole process and he was reiterating the happy biden supporters there. Mr that point about the good friday agreement and also making the point trumps lawyers are holding a press thatjoe bidens team are conference about the legal action to professional politicians and will continue to bring in pennsylvania. Ta ke professional politicians and will take at the us uk relationship former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani seriously, they wont carry a grudge against borisjohnson because of accused the electoral authorities of not checking properly. And there was brexit. But the Biggest Issue any not checking properly. And there was no inspection of a single mail in way might be for the uk that the ballots. Those mail in ballots could biden adminstration is not have been there for anybody. Those mail in ballots could have been for particularly interested in bilateral trade deals or bilateral relationships, they are much more anybody they wrote in. Those mail in multilateral and will probably shift ballots could have been written the some of the focus to europe and to day before by the Democratic Party germany. Germany has been squeezed hacks that were all over the out of washington by this convention centre. What im saying administration, donald trump didnt get on with angela merkel, and i to you is, not a single one was think that, anyway, might be more of inspected. As the law required. Even a problem, the uks priorities might won a court order inspected. As the law required. Even won a court order was inspected. As the law required. Even won a court order was obtained to allow the republican inspectors to not just be a problem, the uks priorities might notjust be very high on the list get six feet closer, they moved to for the biden adminstration. That theres something in doubt and the people counting the ballots six concern from diplomats here about further feet away. Rudy giuliani on precisely that, that perhaps in the past, london from washingtons perspective was seen as a useful way behalf of donald trump, the way it in it to broader discussions within European Union. Uk has now left the works, a concession is not needed, eu and certainly something that was the constitution says trumpeted so often by president works, a concession is not needed, the constitution sastoe biden ta kes the constitution sastoe Biden Takes Office on mir to engender the trump and by conservatives here in 20th. I correspond it is in the uk was that the relationship between the now outgoing president washington, at black lives matter plaza. Near the white house, all and the british Prime Minister was sufficiently strong that a trade deal between the two of them might happen relatively quickly. You dont yours. James, it is getting more and more crowded here. People are haveit happen relatively quickly. You dont have it to look fire, speaking to people at westminster, even those thronging here from all over who are broadly speaking will washington, they want to feel the welcome a biden adminstration, for them to acknowledge that trying to secure a them to acknowledge that trying to secure a free trade deal between atmosphere. You voted forjoe biden, london and washington might actually be harderunder london and washington might actually be harder under the new president compared to how it might have been how are you feeling . Excited, its if President Trump had been elected overwhelming here. What difference for a second term. We are seeing a do you thinkjoe biden can make as shift from bilateral approaches to president . I think is going to multilateral approaches, which we reconcile the stress we have felt knowjoe biden favours, that will the last four years, bring people impact some things which the uk take together and fight for issues like i a keen interest in, for example, ca re together and fight for issues like i care about, like Climate Change. Trump took america out of the iran its really only up from here. York deal, after the paris deal, we know is also withdrawn america from the from a red state, kentucky, so you world health organization. There is know about divisions, does it a all decisions which borisjohnson surprise you how narrow this victory and his colleagues would have was forjoe biden . Maybe so, but try regretted. Absolutely. And the climate issue, it will be not to think about that, its more fascinating to watch as far as just forward and beyond. Youre from Foreign Policy in the uk is concerned, because this very week, the Climate Change conference in china, as someone from china, glasgow was due to be taking place, observing this scene, this postponed because of coronavirus, jubilation, whats your reaction to but when you speak to people in the joe biden as. I believe 1. 4 billion British Government, they see themselves at the head of that Chinese People are still asleep and table, the head of the summit next many of them have chosen to stay a year, being able to play a pivotal global role as far as Climate Change late to witness this historic diplomacy is concerned, with the moment. For me, i dont look at this prospect of an American Administration far more willing to be around that table and actively involved record safe we heard from event as chinese a friend of americans but i look at this as we president elect biden about going are from the one world and we are back into the Paris Agreement, a point that was being removed by really one family and i am proud to witness that democracy has returned President Trump. On climates, i to people and this next four will be think you will see plenty in the an amazing new four years for the British Government is hopeful that things will be very different in world. Do you thinkjoe brighton terms of the relationships with lowered the temperature in the washington compared with how they relationship with china . Im not have been, with britain are keen to knowledgeable enough to comment on trumpet its role, given this hugely important summit here in the uk next this, my profession as engineer, so year. Thank you. We switch to i thinkjoe this, my profession as engineer, so i think joe biden this, my profession as engineer, so i thinkjoe biden will be able to brussels and bring in the bbcs work on many different challenges together with all American People, Kevin Connolly. What reaction we whether they are from red states or heard from the European Union . Blue state of the whole united Kevin Connolly. What reaction we heard from the European Union7l running theme you have heard across states, whether from red countries or blue countries, but we are all europe, its the closest thing you will ever come to a giant diplomatic countries. I think he will sigh of relief. Find donald trump definitely work on many challenging very difficult to deal with, the problems together with everybody. Great disruptor, a man not shy about what, to go, as the tour party for a abusing european allies and accusing joe biden presidency . Dimension them of failing to pay their way in Climate Change, how about healing nature, dismisses of the project of american bringing it together . the European Union, who personally think thats important too, bringing together both sides to achieve something rather than have it be has had awkward relations with only one way or the highway. I think angela merkel, for example, they find donald trump a difficult man to hes going to be a unifier. Were deal with. They are expecting, standing here in black lives matter assuming, i think, deal with. They are expecting, plaza, i much do you think that the assuming, ithink, that deal with. They are expecting, assuming, i think, that was a joy about and they will get something actor a person that came after the pretty close to business as usual, much more conventional figure in the death of george floyd has helped propeljoe biden to the white house . White house, someone who sees a i think propeljoe biden to the white house . Ithinki value in the transatlantic propeljoe biden to the white house . I think i heard a statistic that partnership, who sees that things more people register to vote at a can be done through the better balance than any other day Transatlantic Partnership and is previous, so i think it did have a going to bring america back into the big effect, especially in some of the swing states like georgia. And diplomatic mainstream. So, of course, diplomatic mainstream. So, of course , you diplomatic mainstream. So, of course, you always congratulate the Kamala Harris is going to be the winner of course, you always congratulate the winnerofan course, you always congratulate the winner of an election, but there is first female Vice President s, the a real sense in europe that this is first female Vice President s, the first woman of colour, how do you feel about that, about the symbolism an American Election which has gone at yours way. All european of that . Im happy she will have a countries consider themselves to seat at the table, that people of have special relationships in colour will have a seat at the washington, but they are all, i table, that women will have a seat think, going to believe that america at the table. Like i said, its only is going to be easier to deal with underjoe up at the table. Like i said, its only up from here, is going to be easier to deal with under joe biden than at the table. Like i said, its only upfrom here, im at the table. Like i said, its only up from here, im excited. It seems is going to be easier to deal with underjoe biden than it was under that young people turned out in donald trump. Specifically on issues d roves like trade, for example, where the that young people turned out in droves at this election, just surprise you . No, everyone i know is Trump Administration has been tough politically engaged and votes, so my on europe, cars, luxury goods, steel circle, it seems normal. Wonderful, and just tell me, when china wakes for example from europe, are they up, do you think there is going to expecting there will be a material difference in terms of policy coming be tremendous interest in whats happened here . Erm. Ithink out of a biden adminstration . Thats be tremendous interest in whats happened here . Erm. I think when very interesting question, because china wakes up, they will think this the basic fact of the matter is that all trade deals involving the United States, whoever is in the white event is historic but i think it is house, are going to involve dealing in american agricultural produce, more important for americans, thatis in american agricultural produce, that is a huge problem for the because the resident of the united European Union because outsiders states should work primarily for the will say the eu has a protectionist interest of United States people, attitudes towards its own farmers, and im afraid i wont be able to comment too much further on that. It would say it sits extremely high very diplomatic answer queue both food standards which america does for joining not meet. So come agricultural is very diplomatic answer queue both forjoining us here. Such a jubilant always good to be an enormous problem, so there is no easy win on a trade deal. That applies equally atmosphere at black lives matter plaza, a sense of relief but also of to the United Kingdom as it does to ecstasy and it seems like the party the European Union, but there is no easy win there. There might be fewer is only just ecstasy and it seems like the party is onlyjust beginning here. Thank problems on things like steel and cars, trains might not be a weapon you so much, as we forjoe biden cars, trains might not be a weapon for joe biden in cars, trains might not be a weapon forjoe biden in perhaps the way it is onlyjust beginning here. Thank you so much, as we were is onlyjust beginning here. Thank you so much, as we were breaking the news thatjoe biden would become the has for donald trump, but that does 46th president , donald trump was not mean that the tone of a new era, playing golf. This is the trump the coming of the more amenable National Golf club in stirling, figure in the white house is going virginia. The president surrounded to mean immediate gains in terms of trade agreements on trade policy, by security. That is the place in thats always going to be difficult. History where he learned he would no longer be president. Looking back at 0k, thank you. Its going to be history, there have been some funny places where people have learned fascinating to watch these global that you or become president. Calvin relationships, a lot of leaders coolidge sleeping at his fathers around the world, particularly in home without any electricity, knocking the door in the middle of europe, have found the Trump Administration difficult to deal with, they make no bones about that. The night, the previous had died, he there have been uncharacteristically had to be sworn in under kerosene. And one other piece of territory, public tussles between several five president s to my account have european leaders and this president not turned up for the inauguration ona european leaders and this president on a range of issues and style and of their immediate successors, the most recent, nixon, who flew away in there will be a sigh of relief in a helicopter before ford was sworn many countries about the fact that it seems to be politics as normal. In. Nixon is, of course, friends weatherjoe biden can do very much with donald trump. I have heard from thatis weatherjoe biden can do very much that is very different, especially asa that is very different, especially as a Republican Senate remains to be european diplomats that there may not be a Biden Inauguration in the seen. As a Republican Senate remains to be seen. And joined by communications traditional sense of the word, and that wouldnt surprise me entirely, strategists. Thank you forjoining us, we spoke yesterday, you could because, of course, there is a pandemic going on and the Patton Campaign has always been super see the writing on the wall, this is assiduous about not breaching what you are expecting, isnt it . Restrictions, so we may get a small form of it, which may be quite useful, it would give donald trump an opportunity not to attend, it absolutely, without on saturday, the would be a diplomatic way of media was going to call the election avoiding what could be an awkward for former Vice President joe media was going to call the election for former Vice President joe biden, absolutely. President trump and his situation. And remember the second team had still not conceded, in inauguration of Ronald Reagan in fa ct, january 1985 where, because of the team had still not conceded, in fact, theyre planning on mounting recounts as well as challenging the snow, the bad weather litter are neither of us was there Ronald Reagan was one of us was results in court. I think time is there Ronald Reagan was sworn in on a small ceremony, and fdr in 1945 as running out for them. Theyre going well. So there is precedent for to need to show evidence of what small swearing ceremonies. Would it election improprieties and fro there be seen as a big rebuff, i dont has been, because now that people are gathering in the streets of major cities and celebrating and the think anyone expects donald trump to be there . There is history for that, media is covering president elect biden, that is a pr issue imitate but the previous two left in a very bad mood in the early 19th century. For them, biden, that is a pr issue imitate forthem, and biden, that is a pr issue imitate for them, and extra weight against them at this point. I think we should take a minute, seeing those pictures of donald trump playing golf, he has been the most yesterday suggested to me that republicans around mr trump would extraordinary president of the give him a couple of weeks to let United States in the modern era, is that fair to say . He has been an this legal challenges play out and come up with evidence of fraud or unusual president and part of the reason is because there have only not and then put it to one side. Are been ten american president s and the you now suggesting that this 45 there have been who have not managed to win their pre election timetable has been accelerated because of what we are seeing today bids, and part of the reason he has not won is because of the type of and the pressure will go on the president he has been. By contrast president , grow on President Trump with other president s we have seen, to come out and concede, if any present forwards in the 70s, doesnt in a formal, traditional president bush 41 in the late 80s, concession speech, that this is over donna attracted something potentially only break and a few now . I think the timeline could be other states, he made every single conversation about him. And that is accelerated with the call being made today. What we need to see is if something the other transitional there are examples of election president s never dared. And that has fraud, republicans will circle the been noticeable, people have already wagons around the present rank and noticed it and remarked on it, the defend him in demand due process and courts, but that just joe biden speeches ever since the defend him in demand due process and courts, but thatjust hasnt election have been about the occurred. Without that, there is going to be tremendous pressure. Coronavirus, the economy and American People, they have not been aboutjob item. American people, they have not been republicans would like to pivot, if about job item. They American People, they have not been aboutjob item. They havent been aboutjob item. They havent been about donald trump either, this is a this is really the result, which it president who made his presidency looks like it is, they would like to about him, made his campaign in 2016 pivot to the state of georgia, about him, made his campaign in 2016 about him, made this campaign about him, and a lot of americans really whether a two election run offs which will occur in senate races that could decide the majority. They love that, they love who he is. They wa nt that could decide the majority. They want to put a lot of focus and think he was right in 2016 when he attention on a circuit to. Thats said this apocryphal thing about i can go on to fifth avenue and shoot america, never too early to talk someone can go on to fifth avenue and shoot someone in wind to lose me a single about the next Election Campaign vote. And to supporters upon the become more fervent, those who love how do you think President Trump him. But there are millions of will conduct himself in the next couple of months . That is something americans have hated this president and hate is not too strong a word, very ha rd couple of months . That is something very hard to predict, it is hard to they hated donald trump, they told me numerous times. That is the in tell. He still has extraordinary this country, not really about democrat or republican, it is about president ial powers for the power to donald trump, do you support donald pardon people, he has the power to trump or not, and that is the fault line at the moment. 0ne lady has not turn political appointees into made her feelings unclear if the career servants and burrow them in the administration to cause trouble formerfirst made her feelings unclear if the former first lady, michelle 0bama, for the next one. Theres a variety she has sent out this tweet, im of different levers he can choose to beyond thrilled to my friend joe do. Its hard to understand what he will do on potential coronavirus biden and our first black and bailout legislation. Another Indian American Vice President , Kamala Harris, will restore dignity, stimulus package, if congress were to pass it to, which he sang it . We competence and heart at the white just dont know how hes going to house, our country sorely needs it. Behave, but we dont know if this she doesnt hide her feelings will end peacefully or while. It doesnt seem or feel like that at house, our country sorely needs it. She doesnt hide herfeelings she certainly didnt at the dnc either. The moment from the tweets we are seeing. We have to wait. I think let us recap these elements. It will leave, i dont think it will be dragged out of the white house, after four long, tense days, we have reached a winner. He will leave, but it wont be a we can predict the winner of the american president ial race. Pretty 70 days. To think he will joe biden will be hearten himself or try to . Oh, gosh americas next president. I had the men thought about that. That is always a possibility, ijust it came after the latest batch couldnt tell you, i dont want you of votes from pennsylvania, which meant he opened up a lead to answer hypothetical question like of over 30,000 against his that on the air. Very good one, rival, donald trump. Though. Think about it and well to get back to you thank you for we can project thatjoe biden will win pennsylvania and nevada, joining us. Where asking ourselves putting him over the 270 electoral votes he needs to become the 46th president of the United States. Lots of questions we perhaps didnt imagine asking even few months ago. Where were consider whether we could end up with a tie that was the in cities across america that conversation a few days ago, that is tend to be more liberal, gone, joe biden is the present lights, but also think about the things President Trump could do. We the party is starting, to celebratejoe bidens victory heard from chris mason in london people honking horns just a month ago, Kevin Connolly in and hugging in the streets. This morning, donald trump went brussels talking about the european to play golf, something he will soon have a lot more time to do. Union, and offer another although the reality of his situation was made clear perspective, Sarah Raynsford as our to him as the motorcade swept correspondent in moscow, and perhaps into his golf club. No otherforeign the president throughout has correspondent in moscow, and perhaps no other foreign country has been been tweeting furiously mentioned more and the coverage of going full caps lock. It Donald Trumps presidency than 0ne read. Russia. Tell us how this will have gone down in the kremlin . There has last night, joe biden gave another holding statement, increasingly confident, been no official reaction as yet assured that the tide of history is flowing in his direction. From the kremlin or the political we do not have a final declaration elites here. I dont think theyll of victory yet but the numbers tell us it is clear, tell us a clear be popping the champagne are some politicians here did when donald trump was elected a few years ago. I and convincing story. Think that is wariness here about we are going to win this race. The prospect of a joe biden biden, at 77 years old, will become americas oldest president. Presidency. Of course, he and in temperament and outlook, Vladimir Putin are in no way is he is the opposite of donald trump but he will inherit geopolitical bodies. The two do not a bitterly divided country. See eye to eye on many things. While the president is determined to fight. His lawyers are fanning of course, the allegations of out across the country. Russian meddling in the us elections what is the case . There are allegations aplenty have coloured and shaped the relationship between donald trump and Vladimir Putin and the us, and but substance is spent. It may be Donald Trumps tenure russia, i think there is a hope and Vladimir Putin and the us, and russia, ithink there is a hope here is ending and the word he hates that could be some reason for being the most is attached to him, positive, perhaps to selection meddling claims will now become a thing of the past and these two loser, as he moves towards the exit. Countries can begin somehow to build some kind of new relationship. Although, during the president ial a lot of reaction on twitter, as you debates, joe biden accused donald would expect. Here is one from the trump of going easy on russia and send that he would make sure that husband of Vice President elect they meddling he referred to is Kamala Harris, he tweeted this sweet something that russia would have to picture of them hugging his wife pay for. I think i are expecting with the caption, so proud of your. More sanctions and a difficult as it should be i am curious as to relationship, perhaps a more predictable relationship, though, whether or not that might be a golf that they had with donald trump. Course, but it might be a simple part. Maybe they bumped into the predictable relationship, though, that they had with Donald Trumpm terms of where Vladimir Putin sets present wright, who knows former his priorities, in terms of america, president s have started to give their reactions. Barack 0bama sent presumably, he hopes that at some out this statement. He said. Point, sanctions will be eased, not that there is any sign that the americans are interested in doing that . I think thats how, although one that vladimir would never voice, but i dont think there is any prospect of that. In fact, there are more sanctions looming. We may see a return to a more moral tone coming from the United States in its dealings with russia, certainly about the internal domestic political scene here. The american views, joe bidens views on democracy or the lack of it in russia, the kinds of things that bill clinton has tweeted to say, russia, the kinds of things that russia hates to be lectured on. I america has spoken. Certainly think that kind of tone in relations will return and that would not help the very glum state of relations there already is between these two countries. Whats interesting, watching the coverage 0ne moore, former president jimmy of the results and the race here, carter said. The United States election race, watching that on state tv, there has beena watching that on state tv, there has been a huge focus on allegations from donald trump of fraud in the vote, those claims being covered here without questioning them at all. There has been a general tone talking about frauds, talking about by my by my count, i think this might be a stolen vote and presenting those the fourth time in American History claims without questioning them at there will be a club of six all. I think theres a glow to get president s, five past and one away, turning of the tables in the current. My question to you, it does United States, the state tv coverage donald trump join in here is claiming there is a vote is current. My question to you, it does Donald Trumpjoin in a current. My question to you, it does donald trump join in a friendly wait questionable in the very least. That club of former president s who occasionally see each other at thank you very much, sarah. What of libraries and inauguration is an opening or not . Hmm, im struggling the many interesting details of the with that, struggling to see it. Today was that the president was there is a building in lafayette golfing when the projection came square, right in front of the white through that he had lost . We have house, that is the club of former seen through that he had lost . We have seen the pictures of him golfing, president s, its a discreet boating and timekeeping have an eye on my with a much marking on it, you twitter feed, if you see me looking wouldnt know if you passed it by, down we have seen from the white and that is where it is at the House Press Corps that president disposal of former president s, they trump has left his virginia golf can meet there when they want to. Course about ten minutes to intolerance on his way back to the when you think about the white house. Im looking at these relationships between the former president s, bill clinton and george pictures i had of the white house, w bush get on very well, barack we could see those scenes outside 0bama bought them together to work the white house, all the people of on 80 after the earthquake there gone down there to celebrate, and were going to have President Trump and his motorcade arriving back at on 80 after the earthquake there the white house. Now, all those on haiti. Michelle 0bama has a close relationship with George W Bush, crowds will have moved a little way they got on very well. I dont see away from the white house in the last few days because of a big donald trump, we know there is no fence, usually you can get right up love lost between George W Bush and to the white house, debbie moved a couple of hundred yards back, but i donald trump, the bush family made it clear the former president didnt suspect they will see the president vote for donald trump in 2016 and ofs motorcade pull back in it to may not have done so again this the white house grounds any minute year, so donald trump is going to be now, and that will be interesting to an outcast from that group. Direct see what happens with that crowd the post covid where they are all when he gets back to the white expected to turn up together, but he house. Theyre all going to be has not been turning up at key watching what happens to donald moments with other former president s, the funeral ofjohn trump in the next few years because mccain, he wasnt there. It is going he has a lot of power, got a lot of to be fascinating to watch donald votes, he is still a big force in this country. He has, over 70 trump over the next year. One more question, the author is scott million votes so far in the National Fitzgerald said there was no second a cts fitzgerald said there was no second count, joe biden, over 74 million, acts in american lives, hasjoe bidenjust proven him wrong . Both inspectors records. Member, joe biden are becoming residents acts in american lives, hasjoe biden just proven him wrong . Joe intellect has received more votes than any other president ial candidate in history. We will have biden just proven him wrong . Joe biden has proven there is a thought out, starting the charm if you won ongoing coverage ofjoe biden winning the us election in the the presidencyjust on sticking coming minutes.
