Trump will call 6000 pennsylvania avenue his home, come january, when he takes over as commanderinchief. Despite the differences, the two men have avowed to Work Together in the weeks until power changes hands. President obama told reporters that he and president elect trump used todays meeting to cover a lot of ground. President obama i just had an excellent conversation with president elect trump. It was wideranging, we talked about some of the organizational issues, in a setting up the white house. We talked about Foreign Policy and domestic policy. As i said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate the transition that ensures our president elect is successful. I have been very encouraged by the interest in president elect trumps wanting to work with my team around many of the issues that this great country faces. And i believe that it is important for all of us, regardless of party, and regardless of political preferences, to now come together and Work Together to deal with the many challenges we face. Mr. Trump we discussed a lot of different situations. Some wonderful, and some difficulties. I very much look forward to dealing with in the president in the future, including counsel. He explained some of the difficulties, some of the highflying assets, and some of the really great things. So, mr. President , it was a great honor being with you. And i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. Brent and there is the handshake. Lets go to our correspondent standing by outside the white house. Good afternoon. That handshake look natural, but we know it was forced. What more do we know about this meeting, other than that these men were struggling to put on a good face for the world . Reporter we both would have loved to have been a fly on the wall there, wouldnt we come operant wouldnt we, brent . We saw barack obama on the closing day before elections the glaring donald trump unfit to be president because of his character. A got very personal. And donald trump in the past, questioning whether barack obama was even born in the United States and to fill the basic conditions to even run for the office. This looked very purposeful and reconciliatory, in terms of a professional handing over of power. There we know there will be special teams assigned to those appointed on the donald trump side. Barack obama stressed they will do all they can to help and he behind the newly elected president as everybodys president. Barack obama stressed again, he is now. Brent which side was having to work more to put on this civil and pleasant face . It cant be easy for either side. Reporter the e nnnnining g sis . Trump come out on Election Night like somebody had he sounded incredibly conciliatory. He paid a lot of respect to hillary clinton, as well. And barack obama was in that meeting, knowing the declared policy of donald trump would reverse what was to become his legacy. He declared he will take down obamacare if he can. Also come other transpacific partnership, the largest trade deal barack obama hoped to push through before he leaves office, that is that in the water. We clearly have a losing side there. Brent how does this compare with the bushobama handover we saw eight years ago . Reporter this was cited by barack obama as a prime example of how it should be. And that is what barack obama said he would aspire to. He stressed that the Bush Administration worked incredibly hard to make that a very smooth transition, and he is now aiming for that, as well. That is the benchmark here. We know there will be special information handed over to trumps team. Also, teams assigned to help in any way they can. That is the technicality of it, something americans take pride in. This peaceful handover of power. Deep, deep divisions remain. Brent indeed. Thank you very much. We are back in the studio and i am joined by the director and founder of the center for Global Politics at the university here in berlin. He is also an expert on populism. Is that what we are looking at . Is donald trump the embodiment of populism in power . I think you can say that. There are many examples globally. People with charismatic personalities, who are trying to exploit increasing complexities of Global Politics and suggest there are Simpler Solutions for global and context problems. Brent you do not believe him if he says he wants to be the president of all americans and wants to bridge the gaps . During the election campaign, you did not hear that much. Brent is that the reality of politics and power . That candidates are allowed to say one thing, but when they come into power, they Say Something completely different, and were supposed to believe both stories . Up to a point, i think that is always a politics are about. Many people remember things said after the election. But when you speak about populism, a worldwide trend from the philippines to russia to turkey to many other countries, people are increasingly irritated and angry because their capital problems 2008, all of that causes a lot of irritation and anger in the people. If you have politicians and decisionmakers who are ready to exploit that, that is unfortunately, increasingly popular. Brent we cannot expect these populist politicians to deliver on their promises, can we . We can expect that and take them to account for doing whatoa pretty big experiment, what we are facing. Trump promised to go away from international trade, block immigration, go away from security in asia and europe. He said all these things. In the next coming months, he is not a candidate anymore, he is the president. Brent he is the blame if something goes wrong. Sooner or later, he cannot blame proceeding in it administrations. So we have to see. Brent we have to see if being in power is actually the cure for populism. Time will tell. Thank you very much for coming in and being on the show. President elect trump made headlines early in the campaign by less than complimentary remarks about mexicans. What has been the reaction in mexico to his election . Lets take a look. Reporter trumps victory shook the markets, but none more than the southern neighbor, mexico. The peso fell more than 13 . During the campaign, trump not only promised to build a wall and introduce strict refugee policy, he also vowed to limit economic relations between the countries. America is mexicos most important trading partner. The effects on the latin American Country would be huge. Mexicos finance partner tried to calm the situation. The relaxed the Election Results will not change things immediately. When it comes to traveling or when it comes to traveling between the two countries. If donald trump does keep his promise, the board will change dramatically, and millions of deported and undocumented migrants could and appear. The american dream, the hope of a better life, shattered for those fleeing poverty and violence. But the future president did not just speak disparagingly against americans. It included all of latin america. This could spell tough times ahead. Improved relations with cuba, two years in the making, look now to be on hold. Thousands have fled the island in fear of poor relations. Brent we will be right back. Brent welcome back to dw news, live from berlin. This weekend marks the years since the attacks in paris which left many dead. For survivors, it has been a struggle to resume a sense of normalcy. Lots of people do not want to talk about what happened. But one man who worked at a restaurant that was attacked that day, says talking about that nights events has actually helped. Within seconds, a persons life can change forever, or be extinguished. He witnessed that for himself in 2015. He also saw how important it is to help others.

Reporter on the evening of the paris attacks, he was working at the restaurant. Suddenly, he heard sounds like a firecracker, only louder.

Reporter among the wounded, was a young woman his age. She had taken a bullet in the upper arm and another in the leg. I sat down next to her and thought about what i should do. Reporter in that moment, he realized what it means to be there for someone else. And he knew that only one thing counted that night, making sure that she survived. Today, he is convinced that helping her also helped him come to grips with the terror attack. It enabled him to maintain some near him. Of control and kt it hpspspspspstoocusus on things other than the horrors that are transpiring, likekekekekekekekekekekekekekek. In general, that helps protect them from the dramatic effects. That is what we teach professionals were regularly confronted with such situations, so they are not traumatized by them. Reporter he is not traumatized by what he experience, but in the weeks following the attack, he felt compelled to find out what had happened to polling. Paulene. It was great to find her alive and in a stable position. Reporter they mark to the end of a carefree youth for him and hundreds of other young people in france. But maybe some can take a leaf out of his book and turn that traumatic experience into something positive.

Ack of trump spein but for some, trumponomics amounts to little more than a disaster. Reporter the Automotive Industry is one of germanys biggest. The carmakers could have a bumpy road ahead of them. The u. S. Is the secondlargest car market in the world, and trumps plan to richard straight trade to restrict trade could be a barrier. It is not looking good for europes energy companies, either. Trump has his heart set on fossil fuels, and ideally producing them in the u. S. He wants to ramp up the use of coal and relax environmental regulations. The Retail Industry is also bracing itself to be during times of economic slowdown, retailers take the first hit. European brands with a Strong Customer base in the u. S.

Brent while investors are showing their optimism across the world, and mexico, it is a different story. The main index and pay so dropped, the peso falling to its weakest on record. As a candidate, trump wanted to negotiate or tear up deals, including nafta. That is a pack to which last year netted mexico over 92 billion in u. S. Investment.

A new chapter in relations begins between mexico and the United States, which will involve a change, challenge. But also, a great opportunity.

Reporter another reason to scan the skies, amid a boom in online shopping, chinese retailers are investing heavily in Drug Delivery systems. Careers in drone delivery systems. There are 600 million rural consumers in china, almost twice the population of the entire United States.

Reporter it is not quite doortodoor or automated get, human intervention is still required. But this customer says he has already noticed an improvement.
