A form of carbon and bidding farewell to side erekat, the chief palestinian negotiator who died on tuesday, after Contracting Private 19 hong kong is facing further crisis. After more than a dozen prodemocracy politicians called it quits. Their resignation was in solidarity. After the territories government disqualified 4 of their fellow legislations. Yet there we are. Now Chinas Congress has passed a patriotism resolution, allowing the removal of legislators who pose a threat to National Security and challenge beijings rule. Prodemocracy activists say that amounts to the end of the one country 2 systems. Principle polland has more for us from hong kong. That was a very emotional press conference. Some of them announcing the resignation with tears in their eyes, saying those resignation letters will be in the hands of the government tomorrow, which essentially will deem hong kong fledge exclusive council without any opposition voices anymore. They say theyre doing this because its what beijings actions have essentially done is rendered hong kongs government ineffective into making its own decisions. The fact that beijing can essentially oust lawmakers who are deemed as unpatriotic or for any reason that it may like, essentially makes them almost ineffectual. Their whole position is already under siege. And they feel that hong kong no longer can have a democratic voice within the government. They made it very clear to say though, that although they are quitting the government, theyre not quitting the fight for democracy in hong kong. But many questions still remain and once they leave, what kind of an opposition can remain in hong kong given the fact that hong kong now has this National Security law, where any kind of dissent or protests are not allowed. So this seems to be the last gotten of those opposition or critical voices, particularly within the government that can represent people in hong kong. And now that no longer will exist after their resignations are accepted after that mass walkout happened in hong kong government. But we spoke to a county, a moshi is one of the hong kong, prodemocracy politicians who resigned. She says they were left with no choice. We need to quit in the protest against a beijing group by the crazy. But i mean the, this is not even though who, by law now its moved by the crazy they do, they order whatever they want. And 2, we cannot simply afford to stay on because a minus our 4 colleagues who are ousted the afternoon of the 15 of us will simply dont have the minimum number to a protest. Theyre also being unseated. Eventually one by one of the by the beijing type. And so theyre just let us, let us so full of hate that we just cannot carry on. And we need to support our work. Colleagues who have the you know, it telling anyone who was not patriotic enough to keep all politics. You have no place here. And so i would work that to be a great player, frank. I think its possible that things will be in the dont. But then you do not under estimate on com people, especially the young that end, which is so not all things will have for a refund eventually because you need to believe and you meant to. Now there has been an explosion in saudi arabia at an event, attended by western diplomats and other foreign citizens. And last had a cemetery in the city of jeddah, during a Remembrance Day ceremony to mark the end of the fast wild war 2 people were injured according to saudi state media. Our correspondent is in paris with more. Weve had a statement now or joint statement from several countries, france, the u. K. The us, greece and italy, their embassies, or put out a statement condemning what they call a cowardly attack. Now they are some of the countries that were represented during this Remembrance Day ceremony that took place in jeddah at this cemetery for non muslims. It is armistice day. It is the day that marks the end of world war one. What happened was an explosive device went off during that ceremony. We understand that several people were wounded. We dont have any more details, though, about how gravely they were wounded or their identities. But what we know is that in this statement, the embassies of those nations that i mentioned before, have called on all thora ts in saudi arabia to investigate this as speedily and transparently as possible. The French Foreign ministry have in recent weeks, been warning french citizens abroad to be particularly vigilant because there is a growing anti french sentiment in a number of countries in the middle east. And in asia weve seen a lot of anti french of protests. For example, in the past few weeks and all of this following the recent attacks we had here in france in october, the beheading of a schoolteacher, who showed cartoons of the prophet mohammad following president omar cross comments that islam in the world was in crisis. And he also defended the right of the surely abdo newspaper to publish such cartoons saying that this was about freedom. Now us president elect joe biden says Donald Trumps refusal to concede the election is an embarrassment. Hes planning on meeting with advisors on wednesday to prepare for a transition into office the trumpet ministration. Meanwhile, is filing lawsuits to contest results and battleground states and as refusing to provide access to buy. The 13 judges have so far tossed out their cases and michigan and in georgia. Donald trump is expected to make his 1st public appearance at a veterans day event in allington virginia. He hasnt spoken publicly since he lost his bid for reelection, but has been tweeting about unproven voter fraud claims. Well, john hendren is standing by for us in wilmington, delaware, joe bidens, home state, but 1st, lets go to our White House Correspondent can be health it in washington. Can be i see that we are expecting to see President Trump any moment where do the rest of his legal challenges stand right now. Thats right. We are expecting to see the president at any moment at Arlington National cemetery. It is veterans day in the united states, a holiday, a national holiday, to mark those who served and those who have also played a very high sacrifice. And so Arlington National cemetery is where many are buried and that is where we know the president will be traveling along with the 1st lady to lay a wreath. As you point out, it is the president s 1st public appearance. The white house officially saying that the president is not expected to speak. We have been wondering about that. Given the fact that he has been so vocal on twitter and has really said very little since shortly after the u. S. Election, at least in front of the television cameras, with respect to his claims that there has been widespread voter fraud in voting irregularities with respect to the 2020 president ial election. Now the truck campaign, as you mentioned, has been launching a series of legal challenges in various states. Some of been thrown out today is providing some of the burden of proof with regard to the evidence of voter fraud. The campaign releasing a number of obituaries of people who have died going back 220062003, but that somehow were able to cast a ballot in elections most recently. So this is an example of some of the evidence that apparently is being used in some of these legal challenges, but again, the bar still very high given the fact that that joe biden has such an enormous lead in so many states. Many do not expect this projected win made by the Media Outlets to be overturned. White house correspondent candy. How could they with all the latest . Thank you very much. Kimberly. Now lets cross to john hendren. Hes in wellington. John, i believe that thats the biden transition. Headquarters behind you, how is the team approaching whats really not been a transition yet so far . As to queens, the behind me where the Biden Transition Team is based. They cant operate out of washington because the Trump Administration hasnt acknowledged that joe biden is the next president. So hes doing it from here and hes acting very much like the next president of the united states. He put out a Statement Today honoring veterans on veterans day were told is medicaid is now on the move. We dont know exactly where but one presumes on veterans day that this would be a competing wreath laying to what the president is doing. Thats just a guess on my part. But so youve got these kind of dual presidencies. Joe biden is putting together a cabinet and he says you want it to look like america. Meaning it would be diverse in terms of ethnicity and gender, looking at black americans, latino americans and even native americans to participate in that cabinet. Busily putting that together. But because he cant formally be recognized as the next president until the Trump Administration acknowledges him and actually signs of paper saying that it means he doesnt have access to the official organs of government. He doesnt have the 6000000. 02 pay his staff working in that building behind me. Also it means hes making informal calls to World Leaders and hes, talked to the leaders of france, germany, ireland, the u. K. , all of whom have congratulated him on his win and acknowledge that hell be the next president. Hes been talking to them about Climate Change and things that they can do together to cooperate on that. But until donald trump acknowledges that joe biden has indeed been elected president. He cant do any of that formally. And so he remains here. John, you are absolutely right in your guess we are saying so biden. Now, at what looks to be at a memorial psion, and we do expect that he will lay a wreath shortly. I do want to ask you, you say he wants a cabinet that looks like america, but we still dont yet know who is going to control the senate and we wont know until january. So how do you go ahead and try to work out who you want to appoint when you dont know if you can get them confirmed . Well, biden says hes going to, hes going to take mitch mcconnell, the Senate Republican leader at his word that mcconnell will act fairly in terms of Senate Confirmation of all these officials. Now, the senate does have to confirm cabinet officials, but generally there has not been a kind of party partisan test. You know, those people report to the president , the senate, basically the, the idea is that the senate will approve people as long as theyre qualified and not, you know, on a partisan basis. We are told that biden wants to consider some republicans for his cabinet as a kind of out reach to the republicans in the senate. But all we can do right now is put together names. Biden is a pretty much a centrist anyway, so most of the people hes talking about are not radicals. However, there are people like elizabeth warren, the massachusetts senator, whos a lightning rod on the left. The right wing has been highly critical of her. Shes being considered, among other things for the treasury secretary bat might be a problem for biden to get through the senate. If it remains in republican hands. John, you mentioned that joe biden is acting very in president on saturday. He looks very president ial and the images that were seeing from this memorial sites, as he has mentioned, is not only Climate Change as you were fed to that, but also battling the coronavirus pandemic. Do we have a sense of whats his priority is going to be . What his fast steps will be in office . Well, weve already heard the other day. He advised americans to wear masks. We know hes putting together a task force to deal with the corona virus. And that he says hell be basing his decisions on the science. Presumably he will be working on how to deliver that Coronavirus Vaccine that pfizer has come out with. There are other vaccines that are being considered now. So all we know really in detail is that biden is going ahead and putting together his Coronavirus Task force and plan says thats his top priority to get america back to health before that vaccine comes. And now we dont really know a lot more than that. John hendren. Wellington homestays as my watching. What appears to be a rather remarkable competing weaklings. Thanks so much john. Well, still ahead here on aljazeera. A military operation in northern ethiopia forces thousands to flee to neighboring sudan splashing out on singles day of the worlds biggest sales event.
