Leaders have been reacting to joe bidens inauguration traditional u. S. Allies are celebrating by his promise to return to a more multilateral approach charlotte ballasts takes a look at joe biden. And many nations it leads to news the u. S. Inauguration was relayed in dozens of languages and leaders translated what it would mean for the countries in the city kind of on the other give isnt even mcdonald trump frankly said that these have not been for 80 years that weve had with donald trump someone who is us president because europe along with russia and china are the biggest opponents of the United States so a lot has gone wrong here with joe biden there is now someone in the white house who wants to repeal the transatlantic partnership. In russia t. V. Networks focused on soldiers around the campus who with one channel comparing it to a private party inside a besieged fortress in a beijing News Conference Chinas Foreign Ministry spokeswoman spoke candidly as a challenging last 4 years 3 was.

Inside america they were koontz for unity outside there was hope of unity to have time to time a simmering youd relations to tackle some of the wounds biggest issues together. Charlotte dallas aljazeera. Well you have for me israeli Prime Minister in that report on his concerns about iran the new White House Press secretary general says President Joe Biden will discuss how to further restrict Nuclear Program and his early talks with foreign allies lets get reaction on this now from our correspondents are in the iranian capital tehran and also really i mean the u. S. Iran relationship has been broken for 5 decades now so a chance possibly to mend anything will revolve around the nuclear deal the Nuclear Agreement that the u. S. Pulled out of under the former president that really will be the main Sticking Point in the immediate present. Certainly the Rouhani Administration who has less than 6 months left in office theyre expecting President Biden to lift the sanctions that the former Trump Administration imposed on iran since they withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 and the iranian position is that there is no discussion there is nothing to talk about or no way to move forward between the 2 sides until the u. S. Lives the sanctions and returns to that nuclear deal of 2015 but things are not quite that simple weve heard from officials within the new administration in the United States who say that its not just a matter of returning to the Nuclear Agreement weve also heard from the director general of the. Me that is the Atomic Energy organization that is tasked with enforcing the rules and regulations of the nuclear deal police that deal in iran they monitor the Nuclear Program in the country and hes also said that its very very so complicated at the moment since the iran has taken steps to reduce its commitment to the nuclear deal so there is a lot that needs to be done for the nuclear deal to be revived there is some sense that its not just a matter of President Biden deciding to sign back into it to come back into it there is a lot of different factors the events that unfolded over the past 4 years under former President Trump has really put us further strain on the relationship iran has with the United States the foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif a said that trump and pompei o. And company are now relegated to the dust bins of history as a result of their actions so there is a sense now iran will do nothing else until they see action from the new administrations in the white house for the very much dosage of our the autoresponder. Well under president trying relations between the United States and china soured of a trade and human rights with biden promising to put human rights at the core of his Foreign Policy that friction seems to set to continue brown reports now from hong kong. China has changed profoundly in the past 4 years under its leader xi jinping the country took a hard or thorough tarion turn president ial term limits were abolished control tightened it in being as we all know is going to stay in power beyond 2023 so for a longer period of time these predecessors and no one who is in a position to challenge. From the South China Sea to the border with india chinas military group more assertive especially towards taiwan the democratic island the china claims as part of its territory i think sitting being one has. To go back to the obama administrations policy to breed simply put pressure on taiwan during his campaign for the presidency biden refrained from naming china as americas enemy labeling it instead a strategic competitor just as the trumpet ministration had biden has boasted he knows she better than any other world leader having met him frequently when both were Vice President s but hes also promised to be tougher on china than President Donald Trump he embraces guys like the thugs like north korea in and the chinese president analysts predict that many of trumps china policies will likely remain including tariffs on chinese imports so prospects of a reset in sino u. S. Time seem unlikely in the short term not great neither side wants a reset frankly and the other factor is is that nothing in what the u. S. Is early signals that they. Giving through biden and his staff shows that theyre particularly pushing for a reset the new u. S. President says human rights will be a Foreign Policy priority last august his team accused china of genocide against ethnic we goes in the far Western Region of shin jang another likely point of friction the intensifying clampdown on dissent in hong kong for chinas leaders the past 4 years represented the lowest point in relations in decades to improve them will require significant goodwill from both sides but president shes hands may be tied this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Chinas Communist Party where members will be celebrating the partys achievements and that may include standing up to the United States adrian brown Al Jazeera Hong Kong bruce wolpe is a visiting fellow at the United States studies center at the university of sydney joins me now live via skype from there could have you the search on the program how much of a change in policy towards china will there be without the u. S. Sort of trying to look weak i mean can biden use any of trumps current positioning with beijing to his advantage. In terms of the principles and thank you for having me on the cd in terms of the principles involved i dont think there will be much deviation at all im a what trump wanted to achieve and there are serious is serious structural imbalances in the relationship that want to be addressed i think there will be a profound change in how its done currently its a it was a President Trump president xi china u. S. Mano a mano trade war and other Strategic Issues that were played out i believe by as someone who believes in multilateral alliances and the west standing together will reach out and reorder. In asia japan south korea australia swinging around to europe the nato countries all of which are invested in the china trade issues similarly and i believe they were recent Common Ground and then beginning gauge with china later this year. Touched on my 2nd question really the former Administration Like going it alone it ignored the counsel of its allies you might say i mean how will not change under Bidens Administration as you say he wants to bring everybody in from Asia Pacific Europe africa maybe as well but the coven for yes situation that 90 nations have actually gone under trumpet ministration has soured relations with the white house hes got a 2 pronged approach here hasnt he to try to bring everybody on board. America purses often met meant america alone and joe biden were checks that and he wants america preferred to it to this in his inaugural address earlier today it was at there were the domestic issues the pandemic and so forth the economy or overriding but he was absolutely clear we will. Regain our alliances and make to work the were made to work the world better and so that will be his posture going and i do think there will be a stronger emphasis on i more consistent emphasis on human rights the weaker years con and then on the Security Side taiwan is the big unresolved unanswered question and probably the most dangerous one which is the what happens suddenly in the coming few months for the moment bruce wolpe thanks so much for joining us from sydney thank you for having me with him. One of those 1st executive orders biden signed was to rejoin the power is a colds but theyre all challenges as well brunells reports South Los Angeles but working on that right now like i dont want to get ahead of a lot but i want rejoining the paris accords is one step in President Joe Biden strategy to fight Global Warming biden plans to spend 1. 00 trillion dollars on rapidly deploying Clean Energy Technology around the country with an enforcement mechanism to reach 1st stage goals by 2025 and the final goal of 0 emissions by 2050 biden says hell pay for that by repealing some of the trump era tax cuts for corporations Scientists Say biden must also work hard to dispel Climate Change skepticism and convince people to act the basic answers to the problem or not in technological change there and changing Human Behavior i didnt should do Everything Possible origin was social psychologist to develop narratives that will be moved people. In the direction of greater social responsibility and greater understanding of the existential threats biden says his plan will create millions of jobs and some economists who have studied it agree i asked him aided that that the Program Create between roughly 3 and 6000000 new jobs in the United States permanent jobs as long as we continued investing at that level thats far more than the fewer than 200000 people who currently work in the oil gas and Coal Industries for every job created in manufacturing or instruction there are many additional jobs created in the economy from the spending of those workers are high wage jobs with Excellent Benefits in addition to ignoring Global Warming the trumpet ministration drastically loosened. Iron metal regulations and least protected federal lands for mining and drilling some of what trump has done is reversible but what you never get back is the years that you watched him to think you know about Climate Change its the 1st trouble weve ever come up against with real time now it is us we do not sell in and we will never see it we just trashed way for years that we could have been working on solving it there is much work to be done and the climate clock is ticking rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles of course we follow all of those stories by looking on to our web site aljazeera talk come of course our top story the coming 46 president of the United States.
