A major city in the disputed region where its fighting with armenia. And repudiated overseas but still popular at home me at malls Young DemocraticGovernment Faces very serious. U. S. President elect joe biden is moving forward with transition plans as a group growing list of high profile figures at home and abroad congratulate him even that cemetery where family members including his late some buried hoping his priorities is covert 19 as infections continue to spike donald trump spend the day goal thing outside washington he is refusing to concede defeat tweeting about legal challenges and vote recounts he insists without evidence that the election was fraudulent. But fellow republican and former president george w. Bush says the vote was fair and its outcome clear hes congratulated joe biden as have israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin some of which surely will speak to our White House Correspondent kimberly how kids and attach a good name who is in Atlanta Georgia where a senate rerun is usually take place but 1st to mike hanna who is in wilmington delaware and might find his team already busy pushing for their plans for when he takes over office. Indeed yes they have been planning for months in terms of what the priorities of a Biden Administration are going to be and top of that list as joe biden has explained in a number of speeches in particular is 1st speech as president elect the major one priority is defeating the coronavirus pandemic now he has been meeting with experts for a long period of time now and is expected in the course of monday to announce a corona virus taskforce this will be headed by a former Surgeon General of under the Obama Administration and 2 years of the trumpet ministration also the former commissioner of the food and Drug Association so this is a very High Powered Task force joe biden clearly drawing on expertise he said throughout his campaign he said since the polls closed he said since he was made of intellect that he will listen to the science when it comes to the pandemic and this is exactly what hes doing he is setting up this task force of scientists to begin to create an agenda which he says will become a plan of action immediately he becomes president on january the 20th but theres a long period of time till then and the real problem facing the Biden Administration of the administration to be is the fact that the pandemic is concerned 10 uing to spike with a massive increase in cases and deaths throughout the United States so even before hes in a position to be able to assert his new policy there is still that leeway that has got to be made up given that the incumbent president has done little experts maintain to counter this ongoing pandemic mike hanna thank you to washington d. C. And i want to house correspondent kelly hellcats committee what is going on behind the scenes at the white house is there pressure on President Donald Trump now to concede. Yeah this is really exposing the schism in the Republican Party on the one hand you have some of the more traditional republicans like george w. Bush former president and also mitt romney who of course ran unsuccessfully for the white house is now a senator really pressuring the president to concede for the good of the country and to allow for unity and harmony but there are others that have very loud voices in the on capitol hill live in the Republican Party senator ted cruz senator Lindsey Graham that are saying that the president should continue to fight his pursue his legal challenges and in fact just under way are just about to wrap up as a press conference out in nevada where the Truck Campaign has been releasing detailed list of the evidence it says it has of voter irregularities in nevada so the legal challenges will continue in fact the u. S. President wants to remind it was tweeting today that joe biden will claiming victory is the projected winner by and number of Media Outlets on twitter he said when does the lame stream media as he calls it call who our next president will be so until that vote is official and certified mid december the Truck Campaign believes it has a window of opportunity so it is continuing to receive funds soliciting funds in order to finance these legal challenges that are taking place across many states we should point out that the 1st lady malani a trump who normally does not weigh in on controversies did go on twitter today to support her husband and to say that it is for the protection of our democracy that there should be complete transparency in other words encouraging these lawsuits to continue. House Correspondent Committee has many signs lets turn to natasha got a name who is in Atlanta Georgia natasha apart from the close president ial vote that theres a senate rerun there to. There is i want to mention for a 2nd day trumps supporters gathered at the capitol here in atlanta at one point chanting that quote the gates of hell will not prevail and saying that the election had been stolen from trump due to voter fraud yet as many of us already know not a single case credible allegation of voter fraud has surfaced just yet but it does give you an indication of the divisiveness that remains in georgia and across the country while Many Americans no matter where you fall on the political spectrum have expressed a fatigue over what was a very bitter election cycle georgians will continue to be in this election cycle because on january 5th they will head to the polls theres a runoff for the 2 senate seats by state law you have to have a majority of the vote if you dont you go to a runoff runoff both of the senate seats are currently held up by republicans so there is a real scramble for among both parties to get control of these seats because what is at stake is control d of the Senate Democrats would love to be able to flip these seats if they could flip both of these seats then the Biden Administration would have complete control of the government both the house and the senate would be a democrat with Vice President elect come on the harris making that tie breaking vote if it came to that but political analysts say that is very unlikely so now what georgians face in the next 9 weeks is more Campaign Appearances being bombarded by advertisements on the democratic side the political wins they believe are shifting in georgia and the reason biden is leading so far by more than 10000. 00 votes as the votes continue to be counted in georgia is because they believe after almost a decade of work trying to get people. A vote register getting them to the polls educating them about Voter Suppression their efforts are paying off so as one activist told me on saturday we will celebrate today but sunday were getting to work their goal registering 30 to 40000 new georgians to get to the polls and vote in january so perhaps they can flip at least one of these 2 senate seats the sox are going to aim for us in Atlanta Georgia many thanks he is more a former u. S. President george w. Bushs message of congratulations which he posted on instagram he thanked biden for the patriotic message that he delivered on saturday night adding that he also called kemah harris to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice presidency he went on to say though we have political differences i know joe biden to be a good man who is one has all but unity to lead and unify our country and i offered him the same thing i offered president obama my prayers for his success and my pledge to help another republican senator that mitt romney believes trump will accept the results if his legal challenges fail but he cautioned trump on the language that he is using i think one has to be careful in the choice of words i think i think would you say that the election was corrupt or stolen or rigged but thats unfortunately rather rhetoric that gets picked up by authoritarians around the world and i think it also discourages confidence in our democratic process here at home and and with the battle going on right now between authoritarianism and freedom why i think i think its very important that we not use language which which can encourage. A course in history which would be very very unfortunate. Saudi arabias king crown Prince Mohammed bin sama have joined World Leaders congratulating biden and come on harris for the election victory they were the last among gulf leaders to do so ties between riyadh and washington have been exceptionally close them to trump chose riyadh as his 1st overseas destination as President Trump through public backlash after he refused to denounce the crown prince for the murder of the saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas pictured here with biden in 2016 said he looks forward to working with the new administration has refused to deal with the white house since trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital and move the u. S. Embassy there and Benjamin Netanyahu in his message of congratulations to biden also paid tribute to donald trump. For myself and for all citizens of the state of israel i again thank President Trump for the great friendship is shown to the state of israel and to me personally i congratulate him for recognizing jerusalem and the golan for standing up to iran for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American Israeli Alliance to impress you dented heights so thank you President Trump harry force it is in west jerusalem he says netanyahu has a delicate balancing act after getting so close to trump. He has to try and find a way to define himself a new not just to the new president of the United States next year but also to his own electorate because he has branded himself here as the one israeli statesman who couldve secured the kind of concessions that hes got from the United States from his incredibly friendly relationship with donald trump and hes had some criticism for that for splintering bipartisanship in the United States between republicans and democrats when it comes to israel as well as a lot of credit as well 70 percent or so of his ratings when polled said that they would see a donald Trump Presidency continuing as being best for israel as far as the palestinians are concerned well this really does put in deep question if not totally dispensing with the idea of the trump peace plan and any imminent at least u. S. Approved israeli an extension of the occupied west bank so there are many palestinian leadership figures who are very relieved and expressing that relief publicly some news just coming in from iraq where at least 11 people have been killed in an attack in western baghdad at least a gunman opened fire on an army post this is a developing story as soon as we get any more information on it we will of course bring it to you.

The worst truth or lies fact or fiction most of the documents are for people fighting against you and the aljazeera world tells the story of a man of many secrets. The super spy on aljazeera. Youre watching out of their mind a top stories this hour u. S. President elect joe biden has outlined his administrations 4 big priorities the coronavirus pandemic being the biggest among them is name 2 members of a covert 19 working group and is expected to name the others on monday as the u. S. Continues to report a record a number of infections. A defiant donald trump has refused to concede defeat and is preparing for a series of legal fights to contest the outcome of tuesdays vote former president george w. Bush has become the 1st high profile republican leader to openly congratulate biden 1st victory. And more well leaders a congratulating biden come harris on their win trumps allies israel israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the saudi king and crown prince are among them. Biden is assuring a shop break from policies and acted on the President Trump what all the tension chances of reaching agreement with what could be a divided Congress Reynolds takes a look. Once the celebrations by joe biden and kamel harriss supporters have faded the enormity of the task facing the president elect and his deputy looms ahead and im humbled by the trust and confidence you placed in me. Biden has pointed to the covert 19 pandemic now rampaging virtually unchecked throughout the country as his most urgent priority our work to get through getting covered under control by the time he takes the oath of office the situation may be far worse than it is now there are several months between now and when biden actually takes control if the Current Administration doesnt do an about face we will see much more misery much more unnecessary death Infectious Disease specialists say biden must work hard to convince the millions of people swayed by trumps rejection of science and math swearing to change their behavior needs to gather the right people around him. Which i know he will do he needs to get rid of those individuals who have been voicing nonscientific and unsound. Bad advice some things will be relatively easy for biden to accomplish by executive action rejoining the paris climate accords reinstating Environmental Protection rules bill limited under trump and reversing the socalled muslim ban but if the senate stays under republican control biden may be forced to compromise on vital matters like the size of an economic stimulus and relief legislation even more. Well to get through the senate will be bidens plans to increase taxes on high earners extend Health Care Insurance to more americans and overhaul immigration laws we know one thing about president elect biden its that hes somebody who has that instead of getting things done reaching across the aisle especially in a place like the senate and i think thats going to be exactly the set of attributes be so important to getting anything done at all its an old cliche to say after an election victory now comes the hard part but for joe biden and Campbell Harris the path ahead is as steep and as difficult as that of any Incoming Administration in u. S. History rob reynolds Al Jazeera Los Angeles adam goodman is a republican strategist he joins us live on skype from washington d. C. Many thanks for joining us on out is there the world is moving on for the good of the country is it time for donald trump to concede defeat. Well its appropriate in a close election and this happens thousands of times literally a year and a close election that you make sure the count is accurate and if its very close either it goes into automatic recount or many times a campaign will will challenge legally and make sure that the farm result is indeed just that but the question youre asking is when should the president basically say this is the will of the people a move i think the if its a short course over the next 3. 00 to 7. 00 days a legal challenge and nothing much turns i think thats one kind of way of looking at this if it doesnt turn obviously i think it behooves the president and the country to mo
