Donald trump says he has told his team to co operate with the transition to a joe biden presidency, after the agency which oversees the process ruled that it could formally begin. The General Services administration will now release funds to mr biden, and his officials will receive security briefings. This is how mr trumps acceptance came, in a tweet that says its in the best interests of the United States for his team to co operate with protocols. Joe biden has unsurprisingly welcomed the decision, saying todays decision is a needed step to begin tackling the challenges facing our nation, including getting the pandemic under control and our economy back on track. In the days ahead, Transition Officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full account of our National Security interests and gain a complete understanding of the Trump Administrations efforts to hollow out Government Agencies. Ive been speaking to our North America corresponde

Im katty kay in washington. Christian fraser is off. Its not entirely clear why relations between germany and america have deteriorated so fast this week, but theres no doubt they have. Both Angela Merkel and donald trump today continued their war of words. For the american president , that meant taking to twitter. We have a massive Trade Deficit with germany, plus they pay far less than they should on nato military very bad for us this will change. The German Foreign minister wistfully suggested it isnt helpful for the two countries to be communicating with tweets but his chancellor restated her view that europe now has to look out for itself. Translation transatlantic ties are of paramount importance to us. The only thing i did was to say that the Current Situation gives more reasons for us in europe to take our destiny in ourown for us in europe to take our destiny in our own hands. So what is germany and the rest of europe making of the apparent us german row. Joining me from bruss
