Its illegal its unconstitutional and we will be bringing an action challenging that. Hasnt stopped leaders from around the world applauding joe biden including many who have rocky relations with trump. Welcome as 2300 hours g. M. T. 6 pm in washington d. C. And off to days of anxious waiting the United States has reached a fateful moment in its history Democratic Party candidate joe biden is now president elects having obtained 290 electoral votes so far he of course needed 270 to take the white house this is what finally put joe biden across the finish line a projected victory in pennsylvania with its 20 Electoral College votes and in nevada with 6. Hes also leading in georgia but that race is still too close to call the current President Donald Trump has 214. 00 electoral votes all together looking at the breakdown of numbers its a picture of a nation divided bidens won more votes than any other president ial candidate before him but trump has a huge support to outperforming his successful 2016 run. Joe bidens expected to address the nation in the next few hours but has already tweeted that he is honored that america has chosen him to lead he says the work ahead will be hard but he promised to be a president for all americans those who voted for him and those who didnt and he says he will keep the faith that supporters have placed in him his running mate coming out harris isnt just the 1st woman to become Vice President shes also the 1st person of black and south asian descent harris learned of the news while out jogging this is the video of her reaction and then her phone call to joe biden. We very we did jail. Here in the next president of the United States. But President Trump has not conceded the race which he says is far from over in a statement he said we all know why i joe biden is rushing to falsely pause as the when and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him they dont want the truth to be exposed beginning monday our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court in short election laws are fully up held and the rightful winner is seated and weve also heard from the president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani he explain more about the cases theyre pursuing. Just about the 700000 votes that President Trump was ahead by 2 days ago that disappeared. And we have no way of knowing because we were deprived of the right to inspect it if a single one of those ballots is a legitimate that is unheard of its illegal its unconstitutional and we will be bringing an action challenging that and i emphasize to you its only one of the many other infirmities in this election where President Trump has now returned to the white house from his golf course in virginia he was that when major t. V. Networks began calling the election in joe bidens favor. And well hear more about trumps reaction and his plans from the White House Correspondent candy harkat also go live to patty call hane whos in philadelphia we also have natasha going in who is standing by for us in Atlanta Georgia but lets begin with mike hanna in wilmington delaware joe bidens home states for nail biting days joe biden has achieved his decades long ambition today in his 3rd attempt at presidency when are we likely to hear from the president elect and how happy are the people behind you. Now theres certainly a great degree of joy here not only behind me but throughout the city of wilmington which President Biden president elect biden has called home for some 66 decades so certainly theres a great deal of joy now we expect to hear from joe biden in roughly 2 hours time he will be here at the Campaign Headquarters in the Convention Center behind me but we already understand some of the elements that he is likely to address in his speech and principally it is his plan to combat the coronavirus pandemic use moving very very quickly on this he said throughout his campaign this is one of the 1st things he was going to address it is the greatest crisis facing this particular country and we already know that he has set up a Coronavirus Response commission which will be headed by a former Service Surgeon General in the United States of the vic murphy so certainly hes moving very very quickly in terms of establishing the Transition Team but also looking towards who is going to be members of his cabinet but the 1st thing the 1st thing he wants to do is address that ongoing pandemic which he sees as his most primary and urgent task at the moment. Mike he he may be making plans but donald trump doesnt seem to be budging at all hes already announced that his legal team will be ready on on monday so what does that mean for any transition. Well it does make it more difficult obviously for an Incoming Administration if the Outgoing Administration throws blocks in the way as that may well be the case that President Trump does but one must point out as well is that this is a long established procedure and its essentially a Civil Service time procedure its a supervised by the General Services administration which is. A nonpartisan body that is the administration which when it decides who is going to be the winner it starts formally the transition process so you will have the period of time where violence people will interact with the Civil Servants to basically run the country underneath the political direction of the Current Administration so in that it may be a little bit easier than it was but there are other elements that will complicate this when president trying one for example president obama within a week of the election now thats very unlikely in this particular scenario given the amount of Legal Litigation that President Trump is promising so it does make it more difficult for the terrorist biden team to get the transition in place but as i said what does prevent it from being absolutely insuperable is the fact that it is largely a Civil Service exercise conducted by Civil Servants who should theoretically have no political administer affiliation to the Outgoing Administration my candidate for us in delaware many thanks lets turn to washington d. C. Where our White House Correspondent kelly hellcat is standing by and weve all seen the pictures thousands outside the white house celebrating the victory of joe biden as president elect the question is what is the mood inside the white house. Yeah the crowds have been forming for many hours they seem to be ignoring the social distancing guidelines it seems to be a mix of masts which you know i have to watch carefully to see. What the ramifications of that is later on but for now no one seems to be thinking about the pandemic no one seems to be thinking about those concerns what theyre thinking about a celebration in fact we hear that the champagne in washington d. C. Has sold out as people were taking to the streets to celebrate this moment moment in history inside the white house a completely different mood very somber in fact it things closed early at the white house today after the president played a round of golf but we have been hearing from the president on social media where he remained defiant and told his supporters to keep on fighting the president challenging and commencing just a few moments before he went on the air yet another lawsuit this one in arizona challenging the rejected vote there apparently the campaign saying that as we have been reporting that there was a lead for donald trump that evaporated because certain votes were cast out so this is a series of challenges that are expected to take place unfold in the coming weeks but certainly well the trumpet ministration is launching these legal fights what they are losing is momentum as you can hear from the crowds behind me that are celebrating its very hard to see how this momentum will turn around he has as you say pledged to continue to contest the results but it is efforts are unsuccessful the pressure on him to publicly concede defeat will mount even from within his party i presume does he have to. Yet and honestly i after covering donald trump for 4 years well ive certainly heard the concern and theres fear that donald trump might have to be forcibly removed from the white house i dont personally see that happening one startled trump sees that all legal avenues are exhausted i expect that he will leave in a futile transfer. Power i mean the bottom line is that this is a process thats working right now well the networks have declared that donald trump is no longer going to be the next president that we now have a president elect it isnt actually a certified official vote until the Electoral College votes to make this an official results so theres some time for things to work out for people to try to get a grip with whats happening including donald trump and i suspect that once this is a certified official results come in December Donald trump will acknowledge that this is something that the wheels of motion are happening but for the moment its fresh and hes fighting this is characteristic donald trump but i suspect if he feels that he has lost all his legal avenues that he will allow the process of the United States as it has in its tradition to honor that time honored tradition of the peaceful transfer of power many thanks for the White House Correspondent kimberly whole kit that lets get a pass they call hain who is in philadelphia for us this was of course the state that won it for biden that took him over that magic number of 270 of course many of the people were seeing in the city celebrating saying on democrats but outside of the city many of the Trump Supporters are whats the mood like. Here in philadelphia theres a sense of pride that theyre the reason that the joe biden remember he very often says that hes a boy born in pennsylvania scranton to be specific theres a definite sense of pride that they are the reason that he is going to be the next president of United States are going to be around the tree the seat in 2nd but i think its important to point out some of the mysteries that weve heard from Rudy Giuliani the president s lawyer he talked about 700000 votes disappearing what hes talking about is the 1st count of the ballots that were cast in person that was largely from supporters then they want to really argue. You the melody those who would love to be broke 70 to 80 percent for joe biden and a lot of those sweet incidents like yours and also they talked about there were new observers that is not true their words are there was a lawsuit filed because they felt they were too far away but at the same time they were able to go forward and what theyre alleging is if you think about the facts or logic hundreds of thousands of votes. That is not something that happened in the United States of america there are safeguards in place for that that said i will tell you what it is like in philadelphia. In the network race horns honking parties in the streets its still happening in the 6 hours later its set the scene for you look at that this is a city hall thats across the street this is just now happening to give you some sort of drum circle i would say everyone in this for out i dont think ive seen anyone without a mask weve seen volunteers stations set up people handing out water and food im just reply for seconds if you can hear that. Theyve opened up the streets and every once in a while youll see a car come by and theyll be honking and everyone cheers there isnt just a celebration happening here in philadelphia because they were able to put their native son into the white house they believe legal challenges are going to be tough if you look at the margin of error that joe biden has here in pennsylvania ill tell you right now no ones thinking that this is anything but a done deal. Just celebration i mean its hard for one more 2nd to see. There is a heavy Police Presence but really everything has just been remarkably peaceful here in the city of philadelphia theres confetti of the streets people are Wearing Masks theyre aware that theres a pandemic but at the same time theyre also aware that here this city this commonwealth may just. And apache do we know how the Trump Supporters the feeling because this state is a divided state and there are many many Trump Supporters that. There are and their their concerns are that there was going to be violence but i can tell you again its hard for me to tell you how the term supporters are feeling because im in philadelphia and this is a hugely democratic city were not seeing term supporters take to the streets of philadelphia received a couple of people right by and by schools saying this isnt over yet but this crowd is but it is just ignoring them because they feel that it is in fact over the vote totals are insurmountable this point for u. S. President donald trump i have to say ive covered a whole lot of president ial elections i cant tell you that ive ever seen anything like this where the feeling of celebration and the feeling of victory its palpable on the streets of philadelphia. Many thanks for that particle hey enough press in philadelphia we can turn now to our correspondent natasha name who is in Atlanta Georgia as we said the race thats still too close to call the votes still not fully counted that the posse has already in is already in full swing or. Are i just apologize i cant tell you because the Salvatore Jeff things over tory party continue in atlanta how we ended kind of parked for hours the official rally ended but as you can see people continue to come here. Chants wave signs and just commune and absorb this moment truck right now is behind biden in the counting the ballots have not been fully counted in the state 7500 votes thats noteworthy because in 2016 trucks won the state of georgia by 5 percent and. Because this state has not thrown it support behind a democratic president ial candidate in 28 years this is also a historic moment because in Vice President elect a model harris the 1st female woman of color. Ever as Vice President of the United States will need to talk about this for a moment is morris mens how are you very doing fine thank you thank you know you told me you had an 18 year old daughter who voted for the 1st time today this election when you found out the news about the biden here and take it what was it like sharing that with her i mean i sat with my daughter and we looked at it and to see an africanamerican woman an immigrant woman for the 1st time that i have a whole to be Vice President of america that is the most important thing that shows that my daughter and any young woman can see how far they can reach in life teach actually to put in the world. How engaged were you in that with this election and what was driving your and. We need a change 1st and most importantly the way trump was running the country its not its not conducive frankly wrong to be able to be healthy to work if you wake up in your strength and truly want to be out of that environment is not how to form. Not abide interests administrator who are both i think the most important think its the thing that really got her friends right now 200. People have lost their lives so having being able to deal with kobe that is the worst thing that biden and family harris should be working on and they are finding mostly the action that you work for a Real Estate Company that is helping low income people found find housing i found about how the pandemic is affecting low income people yeah im. I mean like i said like you said i work for this company that helps low income people find housing and a lot of them have it all their jobs subsidizing their land. They call and they need help the economy is terrible and people have lost their jobs and theyre losing their lives as you so much for sharing your thoughts with us today tonight dana you know its important to know your kids are saying although theyre celebrating tonight tomorrow there is work to be done in january the 2 senate seats will be will be a runoff for these 2 senate seats and one Grassroots Organization told me the goal is to get 3240000 georgians to register to vote in the hopes of nabbing at least one of those senate seats in georgia and perhaps tipping the balance of power for the government many thanks but natasha in Atlanta Georgia we can cross to rob reynolds who joins us now live from los angeles which is of course coming to this home state bring us up to date with the reaction there. Well i think the reaction was summed up pretty well by governor gavin newsom who tweeted a photograph of him selfe and United States<\/a> has reached a fateful moment in its history Democratic Party<\/a> candidate joe biden is now president elects having obtained 290 electoral votes so far he of course needed 270 to take the white house this is what finally put joe biden across the finish line a projected victory in pennsylvania with its 20 Electoral College<\/a> votes and in nevada with 6.

Well i think the reaction was summed up pretty well by governor gavin newsom who tweeted a photograph of him selfe and Camila Harris<\/a> from earlier days sitting on a couch casually discussing something and laughing and the caption that the governor put on it was california is so so proud today of course thats thats true of many many people in california which voted overwhelmingly for the by harris ticket there are some of course in this state who supported President Trump<\/a> as well and if you can hear the king of horns if thats audible through my microphone thats actually a group of soccer owners down in the street below us who are waving from from the banners from their trucks so in general this is a big day for california since the new Vice President<\/a> elect is a native daughter of the bay area growing up in Oakland California<\/a> the daughter of immigrants from india and jamaica so many historic firsts about the new Vice President<\/a> elect the 1st woman the 1st woman of color the 1st asian woman to hold that office and of course depending upon the outcome of runoff elections in georgia and the election in alaska which is still undecided she could play of extremely important role. In the congress because the Vice President<\/a> if theres a tie in the senate gets to cast decide the tie breaking vote. Lets talk for just a 2nd if we have time about some of the. Challenges that are facing joe biden and camel harris of course this is a day for euphoria for their supporters but if you look ahead to january 20th and 21st. We see the whole bit epidemic. Just raging throughout the country. Will President Trump<\/a> and his team change course and urge the wearing of masks and do the other things that scientists have been urging them to do to stem the course of the pandemic seems unlikely the Economic Situation<\/a> is bad there are millions and millions of people out of work and the rate of recovery appears to have been slowing according to last weeks filing for unemployment claims so thats another serious issue that biden will have to grapple with and then theres the whole issue of divided government if in fact the senate is remains under the control of the Republican Party<\/a> will President Trump<\/a> and Vice President<\/a> biden. Excuse me a matter of habit will President Biden<\/a> after he takes office be able to work out deals with the Republican Leadership<\/a> and get something done get a new stimulus bill done work on some of the very ambitious issues that he ran upon including. Racial justice and the dismantling of systemic racism in the country so a lot to do and also one just to mention that the president will be the new president president elect will be under a lot of pressure from within his own party especially the left wing to make good on many of the promises that he made on the campaign trail but today of course here in california a big day and as the governor said california is so so happy today back to you many thanks for that brunells there for us live in los angeles well latest from around the world have been sending their congratulations to joe biden lets begin in europe where german chancellor Angela Merkel<\/a> has issued a statement saying that she looks forward to future cooperation with President Biden<\/a> and that the transatlantic friendship between between the u. S. And germany is irreplaceable if we are to master the great challenges of our time nigerias president mohamed a bihari is tweeted congratulating biden on his election at a time of on sesame and fish in well to fast he said his election is a reminder that democracy is the best form of government and indias Prime Minister<\/a> Narendra Modi<\/a> has also congratulated couple harris and president elect joe biden saying as a Vice President<\/a> his contribution to strengthening into u. S. Relations was critical and invaluable and that he looks forward to working closely together once again to take india u. S. Relations to Greater Heights<\/a> and near a castle which hosts the largest u. S. Military base in the middle east tweeted about how he looks forward to working together with joe biden to continue strengthening the friendship between the 2 countries. Were also ahead from irans Supreme Leader<\/a> who took a sharply different tone mocking the state of u. S. Politics calling the elections a spectacle and an example of what he called the ugly face of liberal to democracy in the u. S. And the political civil and moral decline of the u. S. Regime. Now relations between the u. S. And mexico have been up and down throughout the Trump Presidency<\/a> will speak to manual republican mexico city shortly but 1st lets go to our diplomatic editor james bay who is at the United Nations<\/a>. Some of the tweets from a number of the foreign leaders d reacting to the news of President Trump<\/a> handling is handing joe biden a difficult cleanup act in americas relations with many of the countries around the world what will his priority be. Well many of these countries i think want to see a return to the way things were before 4 years ago many of americas closest allies have been unsettled by the policies of the Trump Administration<\/a> the america 1st policy the lack of u. S. Leadership around the world but also the star of the trumpet ministration erratic decisions tweets that any time of day or night one senior european official that i spoke to recently i cant name this person but someones not a spokesman its someone with a serious job said to me they believed that relations between europe and the u. S. In the last 4 years have been the worst theyve ever been since world war 2 so theres serious amount to rebuild here between the allies and to try as i think most of them would privately tell you you wont see it in the polite polite diplomatic statements that been released in the last few hours to rebuild things but remember this i think that many now will not be taking the u. S. For granted after what theyve seen in the trumpet ministration and we have a pandemic which has killed over a 1000000 people we have the worst recession centry and we have a Climate Crisis<\/a> that is just getting worse so lots of challenges huge challenges ahead. And james obviously there will be many countries who will be looking at this favorably but they will be also countries not looking at this favorably talk us through some of that. Oh there are lots of leaders who will now be trying to recalibrate their relations with the u. S. Pretty tricky thing to do right now because youve still got President Trump<\/a> in office for another another few months and you dont want to upset him and go on the wrong side of him but yes in the middle east for example israel promised about new york netanyahu could not hope for a better president in the white house than donald trump he of course has good relations with joe biden some other middle east leaders though i think will have to rethink things Human Rights Concerns<\/a> in egypt for example the war in yemen how is saudi arabia going to respond there are quite a few leaders in the middle east who are going to have to worry about this china and russia i think certainly President Biden<\/a> as he would be in january wants a new approach with china to try and use his allies to try and confront china on some issues but cooperate on others a much tougher line on russia i would expect from the new administration Going Forward<\/a> but they face an issue which they need to cooperate with russia in the very 1st days whats known as the new start treaty not some we talk about very much but its the key arms control treaty in the world that limits Nuclear Warheads<\/a> between the u. S. And russia that expires on the 5th of february next year just 13 days after President Biden<\/a> takes office he needs to make that a priority to renegotiate the same space that there 1st the United Nations<\/a> many thanks well the joe biden presidency could reset ties with its neighbor mexico relations have suffered since donald trump made his 1st white house bed lets get more friend money a republican is joining us from mexico. Manny how is this election been perceived in your region and what does a biden presidency mean that for mexico. For the average person in mexico the announcement of a biden win is being seen very favorably more so than anything else is because President Trump<\/a> is wildly unpopular here in mexico people dont forget the rhetoric that hes maintained over the course of the last 4 years the rhetoric that we heard in the lead up to the 2016 election where President Trump<\/a> then republican candidate for the presidency donald trump had to characterize mexicans as bad people as rapists as killers as criminal this is something that that mexicans here have not forgotten we should mention that","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia902208.us.archive.org\/27\/items\/ALJAZ_20201107_230000_News\/ALJAZ_20201107_230000_News.thumbs\/ALJAZ_20201107_230000_News_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240716T12:35:10+00:00"}
