Hes still refusing to concede wont will his advisors be telling him what. Well according to some reporting here in the United States which weve not been able to confirm there is a suggestion that Gerry Krishna who wouldnt be in the oval office any point on saturday he would have been observing the jewish sabbath he is intending to go to the president today and suggest that it would be a good idea for him to concede now theres also other reporting from fox news that donald trump would be willing to concede under some conditions and agree to an appropriate transfer of power just on that its not up to him he doesnt get to decide how he transfers powar the transfer of power will take place at midday or in january the 20th or 2021 its right there baked into the constitution and also the laws of the United States as for him conceding it seems unlikely at the moment he may well try at least a couple of level legal avenues the difficulty of the Trump Campaign has got and weve been saying this for a couple of days is that they keep seeing they have evidence of voter fraud the theyve had about voter tampering theyve had about dead people voting but they havent produced any evidence they set up a phone line and a website asking people to get in touch that hasnt worked quite as well as they hoped because the phone line has been besieged by joyful biden supporters taunting the Trump Campaign so they maybe havent been able to get as much from that as they hoped but donald trump was a feisty combative definitely defiant on saturday when a soon as joe biden was announced by the networks as the president elect he put out a statement saying that on monday they will prosecute every single legal avenue there are those within the trump or but who realize its over that hes lost that he should walk away that hes not going to be able to claw back or shore fraud to the extent that will claw back the votes. He is behind in a number of key states but there are also those the or the president who insists he has got to keep fighting until he has tried every single legal avenue and certainly bill stepien his Campaign Manager was telling donors and supporters on a call on saturday be prepared to be called to stand in the vents that we will organize in support of the president so at the moment and it could change its not over yet for him i dont many thanks to don official live in washington thats going to wilmington then delaware joe bidens home was a serious shell is everybody waking up after that massive saturday night party what are we expecting if anything to happen today that. Well you were d actually standing outside the church where joe biden president elect joe biden went to mass on election day its where his son beau is buried in a cemetery adjacent sure its there is a possibility or probability that he would come and attend mass service either here or in one of the other churches in his hometown or close by more than he gives a statement to the press. During gores leave so well wait and see in terms of practical steps he is now the president elect which means that he will be getting to work on trying to put together or formalizing a plan of action thats will be executed as soon as he is sworn in on january the 20th however hes limited in terms of the resources that he has he cant be meeting with states officials government officials yet because obviously hes not president however he has put together this covert task force which will be meeting we believe for the 3rd or 4th time maybe on monday maybe then well get some idea of exactly who will be running this task force what exactly he plans on implementing there were talks of he may be. Introducing a law making it compulsory for us for everybody in the u. S. To wear mosques on federal property so things like Public Transportation and stuff like that there would be difficult to implement it on everything because each state has its own individual guidelines but things that are under federal law like i say like you know Metro Services and buses not something that he can do in times of. Other things that were looking at we heard the messages that came out from biden throughout not just the speech that he gave yesterday but before that looking get trying to repair the damage that the past 4 years have done in terms of the social fabric in the United States the division and so forth but the. Its going to be a long hard indeed because as we heard from ireland then weve seen there are still millions of people who went out voted for trump and insists that they will continue to support him regardless of what happens but that is high on the agenda for our International Audience there is a lot thats on bidens mind in terms of what he would like to roll back on in terms of the policies that trump introduced primarily he said that you will sign up the United States back into the World Health Organization off the trump withdrew their membership there he will resign up to the paris treaty on the environment something that again trump was criticized for doing and that notorious muslim ban on visa entries for people from predominantly muslim countries were expected thats one of the 1st things that you also changed once in office in 2021 shell in wilmington delaware many thanks indeed. And as we mentioned president elect joe biden says that his number one priority is dealing with the Coronavirus Crisis and the economic fallout of the pandemic pulled in 2 137000 americans have died from covert 19 and nearly 10000000 have been infected by this promising to announce a task force on monday. Or were going to get through getting covert under control we cannot repair the economy restore our vitality or relish lifes most precious moments are going to our grandchildren our children our birthdays weddings graduation all the moments that matter most to us until we get it under control. On monday i will marry a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisors. To help take the bright cares colored pravin converter into an actual blueprint that will start on january the 20th 2021 Jeff Stelling about she is director for the National Center of the Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University hes with us now jeff could tell you with us when that just by being says that as far as his Coronavirus Response is concerned hes going to follow the science what does he mean. He has so i think to a certain extent its how is this virus spread and what are the necessary things to put in place in order to combat that spread so weve seen in the current the trumpet ministration a lot of downplaying the virus a lot of saying whats not really getting that many people sick and and of course the evidence is to the contrary and saying well you know you shouldnt necessarily need to wear masks when we find that thats actually part of a very comprehensive set of measures that could be put in place needing to develop testing needing to make sure that theres a very transparent process in the back Scene Development an approval process all things that that could really be the different speed queen a very Effective Response than the one that were seeing today but with more than 230000 deaths in america maybe 10000000 infections one of the task force he sets up is going to be playing more just catch up with all day. Absolutely theyre really going to have to run theyre there theyre behind the curve on this boat literally and figuratively in the sense that theres just a lot of infection out there and so i think some early priorities are going to be one to put in the a very quickly a comprehensive governance structure in terms of how to manage this how to work with states and local governments but then also start to put in policies to help reduce transmission there is a bit of a Silver Lining here and that will probably also see more and more options come into the forefront theres more advances in treatments and back scenes in the pipeline and hopefully that will become available sooner rather than later to also benefit from a stronger government structure and hopefully an increasing level of public trust in how this is being managed in the early days of the pandemic we heard a lot about the playbook that the Obama Administration of which of course joe biden was a part. Of left for the trumpet ministration and that playbook was more or less an ignored elements of that playbook come come come back to the fore. I think they will mostly because they kind of have to in order to make it work so in the short run you know this playbook this sort of use of this team within the National Security staff was designed to work across the interagency in the United States all these various disparate authorities and different groups that you have to kind of bring together in kind of the messiness of the way that everything is currently legislated an organized without that playbook we see kind of what weve been seeing a lot of miscommunication inconsistent messaging and differences in the response and ultimately are not beneficial so in the short run that will need to come back and we probably will see some kind of elements of that in the long run this really does require legislation and working with congress and simplification of how we manage pandemics as a nation so we dont need these elaborate playbooks that are subject to the political whims of whoevers in office because we will see more pandemics and so we will need more than that these kinds of stop gaps but for this pandemic i do expect to see some elements if not most elements of that playbook come in come back and be used as part of the response and jeff will be Incoming Administration rejoin the World Health Organization and how much of this this covert 19 response will be will be in a federal level and how much will be. Down to the state level providing assistance to states. I think thats a really key point so to the to the 1st question the campaign almost immediately when the trumpet ministration signaled they would leave that World Health Organization said that if elected they would really enter into the World Health Organization so you know w. H. O. Is not without its challenges not without some of its own internal conflicts but that being said this is a Global Pandemic we need Global Leadership we need global institutions to your point this is experienced at the Community Level and within the United States within this federalist democracy a lot of that power in terms of mass mandates in terms of social distancing actually resides at the state governments and to a certain extent in the local government so very strong engagement of the federal government there are some things behind the scenes in terms of managing logistics. You know trying to reduce what the trumpet ministration has created a lot of Competition Among states for purchasing essential medical supplies to sort of streamline that and be more of an asset to the states rather than a barrier but a lot of this is going to continue to reside at the state local level and so one of the most important things will be for the federal government to have their backs and to engage with them on what are the most important things that theyre seeing and what kind of help and consistency and messaging can be provided to help with the state local response in addition to the federal and the Global Response really good so if you jeff many thanks indeed for being with us jeff flock about from could have Manchester Connecticut great thank you. This is the news hour from 0 to 0 still to come on the program irans Supreme Leader calls the campaign an example of moral decline well have International Reaction to the u. S.
