Voting results in key states are still in play a 4th straight day of record Coronavirus Infections across the u. S. Joe biden makes the pandemic his 1st priority and celebrations in azerbaijan as the government announces it now controls the city of shoe shop in disputed nagornokarabakh. And in School Child Care is testing its ability to host a safe olympics next year the citys staged its 1st International Competition of the games venue since the new pics have to be postponed due to canonical. Us president elect joe biden has declared its time to heal a deeply divided america. Even as his predecessor still refuses to concede defeat in a bitterly fought president ial election biden vowed not to divide but to unify and called on americans to give each other a chance reaching out to the 70000000 people who did not vote for him his running mate kemah harris will be the 1st woman black american and american of asian descent to serve as Vice President and she paid tribute to the women who paved the way for her victory meanwhile is threatening multiple lawsuits in an attempt to challenge the results but Election Officials in states across the country say there has been no evidence of significant fraud while biden has spent his 1st sunday as president elect attending a Church Service with his family in his hometown of wilmington delaware planning for his presidency has already begun and the Coronavirus Task force will be launched by his team on monday former president george w. Bush has congratulated biden on his victory but Top Republicans in congress have still not a good knowledge biden as the winner. Well lets speak to our White House Correspondent kimberly how could in washington d. C. Of course following all developments for us is so you know while hes getting messages of congratulations from leaders around the world President Trump is not conceding and also there are some republicans that are still not really accepting. Biden as the president elect what is the picture right now within the Republican Party can really. Well youre absolutely right because the feeling of many in the Republican Party and there is a significant schism there is the party of trump and there is the party of the traditional republicans like george w. Bush and his father Herbert Walker bush who tend to be a little bit more center more aligned with democrats and what the feeling is among those who support donald trump Top Republicans like Lindsey Graham the top senator one of the top senators as well as ted cruz is that the media does not get to decide who the president of the United States is its very important to note that while were talking about joe biden this president elect he is projected as president elect none of this has been certified or official and that is what those who support donald trump are trying to underscore now the argument coming from the other side is that even if all of these cases of alleged fraud are investigated that will no way change the outcome once it becomes official but still this is something that many in the United States millions of americans who support donald trump watch investigated they say there are increasing allegations of affidavits that are coming forward of people that have deserved alleged fraud and so thats why they want to have this investigated in fact its not just the president who is saying this and some of his supporters but even the 1st lady of the United States malani a trump who normally does not weigh into controversy but then today tweeted that she believes that it is important for the transparency of the United States and its electoral system to have every case investigated so what were seeing is a continued appeal to Trump Supporters via text via email to support the fund raising to finance these out of allegations and also the investigations that are taking place across many states so until that happens there is no expectation that donald trump will concede even as there are members of his own Republican Party that are suggesting he should do so can we help you with the latest there from outside the white house can really sink you. Well my camera joins us live now from wilmington delaware where joe biden gave that acceptance speech just yesterday mike so considering that the president hasnt conceded and that there could well be legal cases brought forward on monday what is the biden team doing when it comes to the transition period. Well the biden team is essentially leaving those legal issues to its very large legal team who have been deployed to various areas where these legal actions may be happening they are focusing on policy at the moment is Vice President elect and joe biden are sitting down figuring on policy now this is something theyve been doing for a long period of time and as we heard in joe bidens 1st speech as president elect last night making very clear that his immediate priority the most important thing is to deal with the ongoing pandemic for months now hes been putting together a pandemic plan he has been consulting expertise in the experience consulting scientists and in the next 24 hours we expect him to announce the composition off a Coronavirus Task force which has been a long period of time in setting up now we understand that that task force will be headed by 2 cochairs one a former Surgeon General of the United States the other former commissioner of the food and Drug Administration this is a heavyweight commission it is drawing on the Top Resources of scientists including academics from very renowned universities this is just a tangible demonstration of bidens often rip peter the surgeon that he believes in science that when it comes to dealing with the pandemic he will be guided by science and guided by the scientists so this will be the 1st visible sign well see of joe biden getting down to work along with Camilla Harris and that is setting up the Coronavirus Task force preparing these months weeks of transition and a plan of action which biden says will go into effect on generally the 20th the day he is inaugurated as president i can then wilmington delaware and joe bidens home state mike thank you. All the state of georgia has been pivotal in this election razor thin difference there like in some other states and. And now all eyes turn to januarys Senate Runoff which could flip control to the democrats when the passion amos covering developments from atlanta in georgia is so a fascinating state when it comes to the president ial election very small difference of a say that was historically republican but georgia still has a role to play doesnt it. Indeed georgia still has a role to play in georgia is still counting it spodes just let me give you a quick update Election Officials hope by the end of the day monday they will finish counting the votes tuesday they will begin a statewide audit the 20th of november the results certified and a recount is likely according to the secretary of state because of the margin being so small but as i speak the margin between trump and biden continues to grow in the state of georgia biden now leads trump by 10350. 00 votes its clearly not a factor right now when it comes to the outcome of the president ial election but it is a very symbolic Significant Development bitin showing here in georgia that is for the democrats considering that in 2016 trump won the state by 5 percent and for 20 years the state had thrown its support. Behind republican president ial candidates this is the result of almost a decade of Grassroots Organization getting out the vote particularly in communities of color and combat Voter Suppression but george is very much still a state divided much like the rest of the country on saturday we were at freedom park in the atlanta area which by the way was the core of biden support this is a very atlanta and the metro area is a very progressive area and theres a big celebration there but in front of the capital Trump Supporters again gathered about 200 of them chanting we will not let the gates of hell prevail they said that the election was being stolen. And that it was due to voter fraud despite the fact that there is no credible allegation of voter fraud here in the state of georgia or anywhere that has surfaced at this point but it does give you an idea of the a and rancor that remains not only in the state of georgia but in the United States unfortunately george. Ins cannot sit back and forget about the election because they will now face 9 weeks of campaigning and advertisements on january 5th they will head to the polls and vote for the 2 senate seats they had to go to a runoff because neither candidate got a majority of votes and thats required by state law those 2 seats are currently have held by republicans and democrats are hoping they can flip at least one of those seats if and this is a big if political analysts think it is unlikely they could flip both of those senate seat that would create a 5050 tie in the senate which would mean that biden would go into office with control over not only the house but the congress because Vice President elect come all the heros would be able to offer a tie breaking vote but that is really a big if we do have to acknowledge that 70 percent of white voters in the state of floor georgia rather voted for trump and the farther you get outside of the Atlanta Metro area the greater the support for trump but for the time being georgians are going to be bracing themselves for another election. Name with the latest from atlanta georgia. And coming up on aljazeera this news hour mian maher holds its 2nd election since the end of direct military rule but many say there still isnt much of a choice on the ballot in sports Christine Odonnell those on target for you ventas as they aim to close the gap on the italian leaders. President elect joe biden has promised a more traditional take on Foreign Relations following trumps america 1st policy he says hell cement old alliances like nato and be tough on russia hes also pledged to rejoin the World Health Organization and the paris climate agreement or diplomatic editor james bass says there will be relief among u. S. Allies over the result but things are unlikely to go back to the way that they were before trump. Certainly they are breathing a very big sigh of relief most european leaders and theyre hoping that what theyve seen so far from the speech in wilmington it wasnt about Foreign Affairs but it was the speech of a very traditional president hoping that the u. S. Is going to return to that very traditional u. S. Role which means taking part in an International Institutions taking part with its allies in its alliances the most important being nato but i have to say there are 2 things to say on the other side of the tally one is that president elect biden faces an amazing set of challenges taking over at the time of code 19 globally over a 1000000 people have been killed the worst recession the sentry we got to gloat growing clark at time of crisis so hes got a lot on his plate the other thing is i think that other countries around the world and particularly the u. S. As our allies wont forget the trump years they know how close this election was they know that technically President Trump could run again in 4 years time and if its not President Trump there may well be another trump ian counted up with the same sort of agenda so i dont think theyre going to take the u. S. Role for granted in the way perhaps they have ever since the 2nd world war well when it comes to reaction further afield palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has congratulated joe biden in a statement that indicates sees ready to end his 3 year political boycott of the United States about pictured here with biden in 2016 said in a statement that he looks forward to working with joe biden and strengthening palestinian American Relations hes refused to deal with the white house and strums decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in 2017 and move the u. S. Embassy there from tel aviv. Well meanwhile israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu one of Donald Trumps closest International Allies is hoping for a similar relationship with his successor. Holt i would like to start by congratulating joe biden and kemal haris ive had a long and warm personal connection with joe biden for nearly 40 years and i know him as a great friend of the state of israel im certain we will continue to work with both of them in order to further strengthen the special alliance between israel and the United States. On one joe bidens war delicate Foreign Policy challenges will be in afghanistan where u. S. Troops remain 20 years after 1st invading peace talks are underway between the taliban and the Afghan Government but violence remains high failure control for a has more now from the capital kabul. Afghan president asked for afghani earlier this morning along with other senior afghan officials like dr abdullah and former president harm coming karzai gradually to president elect joe biden and Vice President elect kamla kerry saying and i quote of ghana stan looks forward to continuing and deepening our multilayered Strategic Partnership with the United States calling the United States afghanistans foundational partner this happened this morning now most of the reaction weve been getting here is in social media from ordinary afghans who have been reflecting president ial spokesman subjects to dicky said yesterday that there is a perception here in afghanistan that a joe Biden Victory will bring changes both in the pre Peace Process and the troop withdrawal now the Peace Process has not been going exactly as people had hoped for same thing with the u. S. Taliban deal that was signed at the end of february it has done nothing here on the ground to reduce the file the violence in fact violence has been increasing by the day and if there is any twit that a pit in my eyes is all this yesterday was by an afghan who said americans now got what they had hoped for now were hoping that one day we will get what we hoped for and this is peace. Were going back to the domestic side of things in the United States says whos been reporting don trump has refused to concede this election and most republican politicians have yet to acknowledge the election outcome but one senator mitt romney has warned against some of the language being used by the current president. I think one has to be careful in the choice of words i think they would you say that the election was corrupt or stolen or rigged but thats unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarians around the world and i think it also discourages confidence in our democratic process here at home and and with the battle going on right now between authoritarianism and freedom why i think i think its very important that we not use language which which can encourage. A course in history which would be very very unfortunate when meanwhile the transfer of power has begun to bite and Harris Transition Team has already started filling 4000. 00 roles throughout government as they prepare to take the reins the Electoral College meets in the center to cast their votes for president and Vice President on behalf of each state that results will then be certified by the new congress on january 6th according to tradition trump would then attend by the nz inauguration ceremony at the u. S. Capitol on january 20th well tom brokaw says the dean and a professor of law and government Durham Law School in the u. K. He explains what the next few months will look like in the lead up to a biden administration. Whats going to happen now is that biden will be certified as the president elect he. Normally recounts can can lead to some variation in the numbers but but nothing close to the many tens of thousands across multiple states that the trump trump would need so the chance of winning on reco
