Battling on the u. S. President elect joe biden plans to reveal more of his cabinet choices within hours after his transition to the white house formally began, the head of a Government Agency responsible for this process is finally acknowledged by the apparent winner of the election and reports from washington d. C. This is the letter president elect. Joe biden has been waiting for, giving him the federal resources he needs to begin putting his administration in place. Trump loyalists. Emily murphy had delayed for weeks, but monday in this letter. She says she decided on her own, not the biden was going to be president , but that he can start planning in case he is us president tweeted out. He gave her permission to move forward, adding their own case strongly continues. We will keep up the good fight, but almost all of his legal cases have been quickly thrown out of court. I do think that he did have some interesting legal cases that he could have brought in a lot of these really close states in michigan in pennsylvania. But he didnt bring any of them his, his legal team resorting to these while, you know, series of conspiracy. President trump is also losing momentum in the states on monday in michigan, the results were certified giving joe biden, that critical win. This letter means that biden can now actually plan to be president with the most important thing is getting all the people who need to be approved to get soetoro approval to get security clearances. And there are spouses, and thats process has been stalled until now. So the fact that we now have an ability to g. S. A. To begin the process of doing all those clearances and getting all these processes, that means that the, by the ministry, hope we hit the ground running on the afternoon of january 29th. The money will flow to the biden transition team. It will enable the team to have offices to have access to the federal agencies that they will be transitioning, the biden team into officially on january 20th. So its a significant change. It basically means donald trump and his administration recognized that joe biden was the victor in this election. This is important because since the election, every signal from u. S. President and his team has been that he won the election that hes going to continue to live in the white house. This is the 1st indication that he may be beginning to realize that he didnt. And come january 20th, he will no longer call this home patty calling aljazeera, you know, the white house. Well, i speak now to a white house correspondent, kimberly how could so kimberly the General Services administration. I think thats the name of the body as yes spines. The winner does that mean . Now everythings back home track for a normal transition process. Yeah, thats exactly what it means. It means access, it means money. And it means that people can be cleared to do the work of security clearances necessary for the transition. And in terms of Donald Trumps legal challenges, well, theyve suffered another setback. The u. S. State of pennsylvania, a key battleground state now certify its results as expected for joe biden. So there really are very few pathways for donald trump to try and reverse the results of the u. S. Election. And of course, hes also lost momentum. But still, the u. S. President continues to insist that he is going to fight at least the issue of election integrity. In fact, the u. S. President tweeting on tuesday that he believes that 79 percent of americans believe there was some form of voter fraud. So, as the president is expected to appear this afternoon for a thanksgiving celebration in the rose garden, hes continuing to insist that he will investigate possible allegations of fraud even as his cases of failed in the courts. And the transition for president elect biden is now under way, and we understand president elect is going to speak in about an hour from now. What we expect him to say what kind of pigs and appointments can we look forward to . Well, weve already have a sense of what some of his cabinet will look like. He promised diversity, and already were seeing that with the selection of a woman to lead is the director of National Intelligence as well. The 1st latino for the department of homeland security. And already there is a signal that many in the United States are looking upon. These cabinet picks favorably. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial average hitting 30000. 00 for the 1st time in a tis a patient of this transition. What we expect is that a lot of these names are familiar in washington considered kind of the policy establishment. But this seems deliberate on the part of joe biden, that hes looking for experience as well as historic choices in his view that will lead on day one. So we expect that hell be talking about that and how he sees trying to unite the country moving forward, given the fact that not only did he achieve the historic, more than 80000000. 00 votes, but donald trump also achieved the 2nd most votes in president ial history. So its going to be a challenge to unite this country, acknowledge some of the populism that exists and move forward. All right, good stuff there. Thanks so much can really, how could the news of potential covert 19 vaccines . Nearing completion is raised hopes and markets around the world for the aviation industry, what it says the damage is already done, and itll take years to bounce back, the International Air transport association or i also earlier predicted the industry would lose around 100000000000. 00 by the end of 2021 well now instead its looking like a 157000000000 that softer losing nearly 2 thirds of passengers. The number plummeted from 4 and a half 1000000000 in 2019 to fewer than 2000000000 this year. Well, in an effort to increase International Travel by author is calling for better testing programs. And once governments to foot, the bill of quanta says it will require International Passengers to be vaccinated once its publicly available. Governments and Companies Worldwide are considering the eventual introduction of socalled vaccination passports, but some experts have questioned immunizations that have occurred saying, people who has a tape to get the vaccine could become victims of discrimination. Oxana is a senior lecturer and Global Health advisor at the University College London School pharmacy. She says, not everyone resisting the vaccine, subscribes to conspiracy in anti science movements. This group in the middle may be provaccine, but just uncomfortable with the current timeline of development in human history. Were not being able to develop a vaccine within 10 months. But one thing i would point out is that also a history that we havent had this type of emergency where all countries in the world who are halted to screech and for every pharmaceutical company, the industry coming together, researchers, scientists, to focus on a singular problem. There are or were 210 getting candidates in development, so it just shows whats possible when we have urgency and the resources to fund a specific problem. So that 10 year usual timeline is under usual conditions. And i think we all have experienced a very unusual 2020. And this isnt what has led to absolutely historic scientific innovation, but for others to hear that it sounds like well, something must have been skipped. Safety measures must have been caught. Well i am. A blakeney is a Research Fellow in the department of Infectious Diseases at imperial college, london. She says the timeline shouldnt worry people. Its actually not really the time thats necessarily important. Its the number of people and the outcomes from that. So the reason normally takes 10 years is just because the Clinical Trials, you know, they enroll out a slower pace and they can take more time to analyze the data if they need to, by all the same standards are being met with these chemical trials just as oksana said its all hands on deck now, right . So everybody who can possibly be contributing to these Clinical Trials is which makes it a much faster speed. The way we look at vaccine hesitancy, as antioxidants versus protractor is kind of wrong actually, because i think its much more of a gray area in between. Scientists are taught to be critical of the data and till they see it and can make a conclusion. And i think part of the problem is that the general public doesnt necessarily have the same access to this data or may not be able to interpret it in the same way. So i think its really important 1st sign test to make themselves available to answer these questions. You know, is it rushed . Is it safe . How do you actually make the vaccine . Whats in it . And this helps to build confidence in vaccines and the Science Behind them. Now the Ethiopian Government says to graham Regional Forces have started to surrender. It follows a deadline by Prime Minister abby, adamant for them to lay down arms by wednesday, all facing the attack on their main city of macallan. To graze leadership says theyre fighting back and have destroyed new theo military division, including a helicopter. And 2 tanks is difficult to verify either account though because of a communication blackout in the region. Which means military wise, it is easier to strike. Thats a simple fact. As it has been reduced to its peoples up, once that happens, then theres human rights choice, a choice which saves themselves the choice was saved their future. So once they are lit, to know what is happening, whats actually the brute force, then they will, they were caring for this, which is a course in forms of action and choice of pushing these forces. So it now saving lives in the future. Our new force is getting stronger and more powerful. It is acquiring additional weaponry and building its capacity. Its making history, but this is not a battle of armies. This is a civil war. And all of us has to grans by supporting each other side by side with their army. We must defend this and complete victory. And malcolm webb is following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya, all the Telephone Networks of the internet or been shut off in the to grey region for weeks now. So you only really have these claims and counterclaims to go on Ethiopian Government said earlier today, as he mentioned it to growing forces, worst, surrendering to its side, it said it was special forces and militia members who are crossing to the east to the neighboring a far region and surrendering. And following that deadline set on sunday by Prime Minister ahmed, who gave to Ground Forces 3 days to lay down their arms. That deadline expires in just under 24 hours by now, the Ethiopian Government said those to grow in troops were coming out. They also said that they surrounded the city of macare lay there about 50 kilometers away, and theyre ready for that final assault. But to grow and military leaders have said that this isnt the case that theyre not surrounded and they do claim victory for destroying a division of tanks. Thats what they said theyd achieved just earlier today as well. So its not clear exactly whats going on, but the human u. N. Human rights chief did comment on this just a couple of hours ago. She said that she was alarmed about a build up of artillery and tanks around the city of macquarie because of a population of about half a 1000000 people. And certainly if there was to be heavy fighting in or around the city, it could be very dangerous for all of the civilians living there. Members of a grainy youth group massacred some 600. 00 civilians earlier this month, according to ethiopias human rights commission. In a report it says the attackers targeted non to gray, and residents of make up that are a small town in the west of the province. It says victims were killed with the collusion of local security forces. The commission was appointed by the state. Regional leaders denied carrying out the attack. Still ahead on aljazeera. It was the worst attack in u. K. History. Now a posthumous appeal for the only man ever convicted of killing 270 people is underway in scotland. And life in prison for a former militia leader found guilty of war crimes. And the d r. C. However, weve got rain in the forecast for a good part of the middle east over the next couple of days ago. Some savvy bit, some places around the caucasus, at the moment in the black sea, and the caspian sea. But of a westerly wave also making its way across afghanistan that will eventually push into northern parts of pakistan. Northern areas of india to back behind the hate crime, the fine and dry, but take a look at thursday.

Frank assessments, if other can Public Opinion pieces betrayed by social media platforms after november 1 would be different cultures. If you believe that there corrosive to our democracy, one obvious solution is to break from an informed opinion. Look at checkers, dont go anywhere. The protesters arent going anywhere, either. Its ability to get revolution. Indepth analysis of the days global headlines. Who is it . Thats really out there on the street inside story or now just 0. 0, 0 come back here watching our just lets recap those headlines now. U. S. , president elect joe biden plans to reveal more of his cabinet choices within hours. The head of a Government Agency responsible for the transition to power is finally acknowledged by then as we have current winner of the election. The International Air transport association had predicted the industry is on track to lose more than 150000000000. 00 by the end of next year. The number of passengers has plunged from 4 and a half 1000000000 in 2019 to fewer than 2000000000 this year. The fear in government says to grain Regional Forces of started to surrender, but to grays leadership says theyre fighting back and have destroyed an Ethiopian Military division. At least 7 people have died in 2 separate car bombings in northwestern syria. The 1st was in the albab in aleppo. Province monitoring groups say, most of those killed were Police Officers. The 2nd half and the nearby are free in both cities are under the control of Turkish Backed opposition forces. At least 14 people have been killed in twin explosions at a market in central afghanistan. The interior Ministry Says more than 40 others were injured in the blasts in bamiyan city. Meanwhile, un chief antonio, good tallish has been talking up the negotiations between the taliban and Afghan Government in qatar. He spoke to a donors conference in geneva, where the European Union pledged nearly one half 1000000000. 00 in aid. Now the u. S. Also pledged 600000000 dollars of aid to afghanistan, but secretary of state mike compost says harve of it is conditional pending on the progress of peace talks and the government are going to stand must also do its part to implement essential elements of stability and security, just the Afghan People expect talking about things like economic reforms. Real, any corruption efforts, including our drug interdiction, respect for human rights, including religious freedom, a welcome environment for the private sector, and steps towards selfreliance. I want to be clear. One of the clear choices made in peace negotiations will affect the size and scope of future International Support and assistance. Im sure of president afghan president chavez says hes committed to negotiations with the taliban. Despite their sensory. I want to be, they clear that the commitments, the negotiations with the taliban remains for our negotiating team remain, steadfast in their commitment to talks. And we must bring an end to the violence that is something our knives in dropping our children of the joys of change. A feeling of contra 40 years in eastern afghanistan with the latest all it takes is just to go out outside the Afghan Capital to realize that after almost 20 years of International Support to this country and billions and billions of dollars that have come in this country, afghanistan is still in need of International Aid on many fronts. Weve been to places that i have been ravaged by war. Theres so much destruction, so much back and what the people were telling us there is what they really want in need is a hospital. They have not hospital and a school because what they have is so small and it cannot accommodate all those hundreds and thousands of children that they have in the area. And this is happening 19 years after the Government Agency<\/a> responsible for this process is finally acknowledged by the apparent winner of the election and reports from washington d. C.

And this is happening 19 years after the International Community<\/a> came to afghanistan. So theres still so much to be done and weve already been countries making their, i just to afghanistan, for example, that you can only pledge 105000000 or 2000 and 21. 00.
