International donors meet to commit billions of dollars in a welcome to the program, joe biden is forging ahead with preparations to take over as u. S. President has his margin of victory keeps growing. Hazell, veiny of the nevada have become the latest states to certify the president elect as the winner and biden has formally unveiled some of his top team as she had returns. He reports, president elect biden, was unequivocal as he presented his National Security appointments and nominees. Its a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. Once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values.

President , you know that i have never shied away from speaking truth to power. But for all the talk of diversity, this is a National Security team that symbolizes the return of the washington Foreign Policy establishment after 4 years in the cold. None more so than secretary of state nominee tony blinken, deputy secretary of state under president obama, and a long time Foreign Policy adviser to biden. Hes known to be far more of an advocate for u. S. Military intervention around the world than the president elect. Lincoln has spent the last few years consulting for weapons manufacturers and big tech america at its best. Still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring others together to meet the challenges of our time. But biden has pledged fresh thinking on Foreign Policy, perhaps a recognition that a key reason that some voters switched from the democrats to trump in 2016 was their disappointment that president obama had not brought the change in Foreign Policy. He promised, and bidens incoming National Security adviser did speak of an approach to Foreign Policy, not traditionally expressed in washington, the alliances, we rebuild the institutions. We believe the agreements we signed, all of them should be judged by a basic question. Will this make life better, easier, safer for families across this country . Our Foreign Policy has to deliver. Its biden is making one key change, a special president ial envoy for climate. John kerry will sit on the National Security council with a pledge to make the environment central to policy making across government.

She said that hong kongs National Security had been endangered by what she called external forces. Without elaborating on what they were. But she did say the new National Security law that was imposed on hong kong on july, the forced had now restored stability in the city. Now carry on has been addressing what in many ways is a shrunken legislature because no opposition now sits inside that chamber because the prodemocracy camp has either resigned or been disqualified. So that means that we have, in a sense, the chief executive addressing what is it all more than an echo chamber and carry on herself, say analysts so hell has become something of a diminished political figure. Her report card is not good. Her popularity rating, the moment stands at a dismal 26 percent compared to 64 percent after she took office more than 3 and a half years ago. Carrie lambs real thrust today, though, has been to talk about what is going on across the border. Her message to the disaffected youth here in hong kong, and there are many of them. Is essential go north because thats where the opportunities and the real jobs are. So in a sense, shes telling the youth of hong kong to go across the border and find work there. And theyre going to find those jobs he believes in whats known as the greater bay area. This is this vast ambitious plan by chinas leaders to connect this city to 9 other cities in Guangdong Province just across the border and create what is essentially going to be a vast ikea and financial hub. But before any of that can happen, hong kong has to bring kobe had 19 under control, because chinas leaders are making clear until that happens. The border between hong kong and the mainland will remain closed. Or caroline continues to speak. Of course, well monitor what shes saying with you adrian through the day. Thank you.

The 2nd highest in europe, but a surge in hospital admissions has slowed while pressure on intensive care units is easing. France will start easing its not done from the weekend in a televised address to the nation president emanuel macron said the worst of the 2nd wave was over, shops, theatres, and the cinemas will gradually reopen. But restaurants, cafes and bars have been ordered to remain shut. My whole says, a National Vaccination campaign will begin in the coming months, but will not be mandatory. Russia says its sputnik 5 corona virus vaccine has proved 95 percent effective in clinical trials. It says the, todays inoculation will be sold internationally for less than 10. 00 and will be free for russian citizens. The country plans to start mass vaccination in january for women in mexico have been facing high levels of violence during the current virus pandemic. An average of 10 women are murdered every day with nowhere else to go. Victims of occupied a government building in the capital, mexico city. With one of the women found refuge. We want to show all the women there. We are not scared anymore. When numbers, my name is eddie, come out of the unit in my daughters, victims of violence in the women on november 2nd 2017. My 7 year old daughter was 6, fully abused by my brother in law. She was 7 and my brother in law was 43. I reported it to the police, but i had to spend 2 years fighting for justice just for the investigation against him to begin with. But we lost our home, our job, and everything we had when i started making deals for women. And sadly, most of them told me stories of this exile violence that they too had suffered. And when they lend to what happened to my daughter, they said that they were proud of. My struggle is this is this iteration is worsening right now. Jule independent, gender violence has increased, believed the root of all of these is the natural of the authorities, did apathy. Theres no wanting to work for women, but we decided together with other women to occupy the building. On september 4th, the building has been converted into a shelter for women who are victims of violence with their children. They can come here without being judged. On the contrary, they are left because we speak to understand them all of these changes and you have 2 options. You either stay at home crying or you go out and fight. I realize that if you want to change things, you have to go out, go out and burn things break things, go out and scream. Because if not, no one sees you know, when he is you. And that apathy is the worst thing in the world. But the Global Pandemic is taking its toll on londons black taxi cabs demand has collapsed. Many drivers of quiet and socalled taxi graveyards are starting to appear around the capital. Paul brennan explains, in a field just outside london is an extraordinary sight. There are more than 200 london cabs here, gridlocked in the green belt. This is one of the citys growing number of taxi graveyards vehicles that no passengers want to hire and no driver wants to rent. We are struggling with some finance companies because they need their funds paid in. However, if youre not renting the vehicle, you cant. You cant pay whats not coming in. Retained june and november of this year. And then he thought 1000 of these iconic london black cabs came off the road. Thats more than 20 percent of the total and that ending up in graveyard, such as this a couple of 100 here. Hundreds more in other garages on lock up areas all around the capital. And the question is whether any of these vehicles will ever make it back out onto the road again . Among those drivers still clinging on at the taxi ranks. The view is bleak. Yesterday i worked 6 hours. I went to only were 28 pounds. So today, nearly 4 hours now i have done only 2 jobs. Cab leaders warn that with more than a quarter of the Current Fleet being 0 emission electric vehicles. Taking taxis off the road is actually doing more harm than good. We were an industry back in march. That was a best in 50000000 pounds a week in new electric vehicles, a new electric infrastructure, and those vehicles now are in danger of being repossessed. Were in position where we could be going backwards rather than forwards in absolute disaster. That sentiment is indorsed by this clean air campaign. I have not had the support that other sectors of the economy had of had. And what i would like to see is the government putting support in and using this moment that the billions and hundreds of billions of money that are being spent into driving the taxi industry and other, industries towards much cleaner vehicles. Since its introduction in the 1950 s. , the london black cab has been a british design icon. But nostalgia and style cannot by themselves keep these vehicles on the road. Paul brennan, aljazeera essex. Reminder of our top stories straight biden is forging ahead with his preparations to take over as president
