Hearing donald trump its always been about donald trump of course the presidency is that its a huge position that the president has no matter who the president is always in the news but in a very different way the last 4 years its always been about this president but donald trump is donald trump and we didnt hear we havent heard about this hes been silent for the 1st time really in for your 4 years and i have to say just got very very abrasive rhetoric again putting aside the policies it doesnt really matter right or wrong where you stand on that republican or democrat just in your very different tone and i think is a great relief to many of us who listen to him in the media to Many Political leaders around the world right now and of course many people in the United States to talk about that finally that were getting from lets bring in someone in our studio in washington sumi any news on the president. I really have to wonder nicolle if the president is watching this you know joe bidens speech and but the Vice President like the speech of this was carried by all the networks including fox news so i dont know what else a person would be able to watch at this point but we have not heard anything right now from the white house the latest that weve heard is that they will push forward with lawsuits and legal challenges to try to challenge what has been declared which is that Joe Joe Biden is the president elect but we havent since then heard anything from the white house and it makes you wonder what their strategy will be perhaps we will hear more in the coming hours or even tomorrow they had indicated in the statement earlier today that monday they would be pushing forward with legal challenges and yet today already we saw a new challenge all launched in arizona but just to come back to you know joe bidens speech in public areas the speech or a few things that were just so interesting to watch there you know coming to harris coming out and suffragette white you know really paying a lot to the women who fought for the right for women to bow to the fact that she immediately came out quoting congressman john lewis a civil rights icon who passed away earlier this year we really touching on some of the some of the reasons of course of the things rather that couple harris represents to so many people and i have to say you know joe biden looked incredibly energized and weve made a lot of us as well about his age his age and the fact that hell be the oldest president now to take office but he came out actually jogging on to stage you know when even the president has been very critical of joe biden and his mental acuity in calling him sleepy joe he seemed really really energized tonight as he came out and stage obviously for good reason with this this news of his victory there but just to kind of underline also what william has been saying you have seen a completely different tone here just a note joe biden saying lets give each other a chance and lower the temperature really of the messaging that we havent heard from president again all the way up until today as its clear that he is not ready or willing to concede just yet. Coming areas in her speed. Their victory was a victory for hope unity decency. And truth lets talk about that last part where does truth stand right now after 4 years of. Do people believe politicians anymore where are we on the post factual spectrum in the United States. Thats a huge question nicole and i think its really difficult to answer because it certainly is the case that truth has been eroded on a number of levels there are so many voters who have the opportunity to cross the country and talk to voters around the country and what we heard is that there was a lot of mistrust in politicians and the establishment and even if they believe that President Trump wasnt always being honest with them they believed at least he would speak his mind in the way that he saw was bastien so it is hard to say whether people really do trust politicians lawmakers what they whether they will trust the president elect joe biden but certainly that is something that joe biden hammered home in his speeches that is what he wants to restore he said he wants to restore the backbone of america if you want to restore decency you said various times trust and decency he also said science will be at the forefront of his covert 19 strategy Going Forward so that will be a big effort for him to take on him and the Vice President of elect harris and it will be one of the biggest task as they try to bring the country together. Will you make america respected around the world again was not very suddenly. Rephrasing something. That will yes thank you america again exactly so how big of a task is that going to be at looking at Transatlantic Relations that have come under severe strain these past 4 years you know i took no. We did when the news broke earlier that joe biden would be the president elect and he said he looks forward to working with joe biden on many of the challenges ahead and i thought that was a very subtle indication that not everything is going to just go back to a preach from transatlantic world order liberal world order these big grandiose terms that we like to use to kind of define the way especially in the west that the world is structured these global institutions that you know the e. U. And the United States have to redefine their relationship and this is not necessarily a bad thing if theres a Silver Lining in the way the dollar has to put it mildly shaken up Transatlantic Relations and really you know the institutions that the western world is built on its that its given the European Union especially nato also the opportunity to see what what what place do they have on the world stage and not just waiting for the United States to make a move or to take a leave or to share or to or to have the most burden of it really to be more of an equal partner to really step up to be more of a superpower to be more of a responsible power and i think thats something that joe biden will will himself welcome you know i was speaking not too long actually right after election day with john emerson barack obama as a bastard or to germany and he said you know during the obama years they were pushing germany and pushing the European Union to step up more the differences between what we saw of the Obama Administration what and what we saw the Top Administration will probably see going into the by the administration is again the tone again its not so much the policies many of the policies that trump was pushing for was a long time American Foreign policy especially with nato burden sharing getting other nato partners to spend more to take more responsibility but the difference was you know trump would probably would buy insult someone publicly on twitter or make fun of uncle americal for example that would never happen in an Obama Administration thats not going to happen. Bided administration its really about the tone as a former ambassador emerson said to me you know the decibel level was lower under obama it will be lower under a by the administration so its not about the goals changes but how how to reach those goals and how to work with allies thats going to change i think this is a great opportunity like i say for european leaders to reassess that relationship and to redefine it not just go back to the way things were and that is i think something we could really look forward to on both sides of the atlantic. Were just seeing. Dr and joe biden saying goodbye to the crowds there in wilmington delaware. Soon we. Were seeing crown celebrating the president elect the Vice President elect but we cannot forget that donald trump will be in the white house for another 2 months what can we expect during that time. Well that isnt a great question to call and i think it 1st will have to watch what he does in the coming days if he indicates that he is willing to concede and and willing to allow that to joe biden has won this election and there in that there are some big things on the docket here that we have to keep our eye on that you know we have been kind of completely consumed by this president ial election but there are some big policy points coming up 1st and foremost the co 1000 pandemic is still raging through the country hasnt been brought under control yet what will President Trump do in the coming weeks and months to tackle this problem until now he has been all over the board in terms of his strategy there is the fact that the government funding is only been extended told december 11th so we could be headed towards a Government Shutdown there as well President Trump will play a crucial role in how he decides to handle this there is also the fact that the Supreme Court just next week will start hearing arguments are in a case to overturn obamacare the Affordable Care act which could put millions of americans out. Health insurance would take Health Insurance away from them so these are crucial battles that are coming in the next weeks and will absolutely demand President Trumps attention so we have to see how hes going to handle that we do know interestingly enough that theres been some reporting from the Washington Post already about what joe biden would do with soon as he takes office and it is said here that it reported here that he would plan already as soon as he takes office to issue a flurry of executive orders to undo some of what President Trump has done so for example rejoining the Paris Climate Accord is one thing the Washington Post has been reporting here were versing the muslim immigration ban something that has been obviously very pop unpopular internationally and also reinstating the relationship with the World Health Organization so again there is there is so much kind of to look out for in the next month or so with President Trump in office and then to see how joe biden tries to hit the ground running. And we saw that change in tone 1 there you hinted at it as well as William Harris thing. The trailblazers as well as joe biden those who paved the way for them to get to where they are today how will we see that kind of rhetoric that tone reflected in their administration. Well i think what we might see and you know we dont know yet who will make up joe bidens cabinet but i certainly think that that type of messaging towards a more diverse background in the types of people that joe biden and couple harris will try to surround themselves with is something that well see in personnel so the people that they will bring in as their advisors the people who will surround joe biden and Camilla Harris and i think also well see it in the types of policies that theyre going to address i just mentioned you know millions of americans might be out of health out of health care if obamacare were to be repealed down the road well that is something that joe biden a couple harris of both mentioned is an important point of theirs to make sure that the people who are dont have health care in the country already or have lost health care because of losing their jobs the people who are really suffering right now so you know the for front line workers and people who are Service Workers here who have really suffered from this pandemic and by the way this is disproportionately hit africanamerican communities that theyre going to be on the top of the agenda to try to serve these communities so i think the fact that they are on joe biden and come later says radar as a key priority Going Forward already reflects what their priorities are in terms of reaching a broader population and also paying more than Just Lip Service to the diversity that they bring to this to this to the white house so much so much in washington d. C. Thank you very much and william with the couple of minutes that we have left lets take a look word where all of this leaves the Republican Party many saying its broken. These 4 years have done a lot of damage can they bounce back will there have to be soul searching in these months and years to come where do you when you see the Republican Party going i mean theres always hard to bounce back and political memories are very short i mean we we had this discussion after george w. Bush when it was. You know with the same exact questions where does the Republican Party go after these 8 years where the then the highly unpopular president now we look back to that in polls actually see george w. Bush people remember him very fondly who very very big. Revisionist history in many peoples minds there is going to have to be soul searching in this party what does this party look like after donald trump because donald trump has subsumed this party and so many people have ridden his coattails to victory and used his rhetoric to their advantage and with that taken out of the equation where does that leave the party but lets not forget they still are probably not for sure but probably going to control the senate theyve made some gains in the house of representatives and they controlled many of the state legislatures and state senate all across the country that have incredible power in their state in their states which then as weve seen in this election how much power individual states have in determining the direction of the country so their Republican Party is by no means down in the out but it is going to be a reckoning with what kind of party they want to be Going Forward how partisan they want to be all right thank you so much William Kraft from Election Team youre watching news life found our top story at this hour joe biden said he wants to restore america after being there when are the u.

I cant smell or taste any more and i have a headache. Medics year can conduct 280 tests every day but these tests are strictly for those who have a doctors prescription family members friends or coworkers who have been in close contact with them but dont show any symptoms cannot get a test for them or as the moment we have so many positive cases the problem is there are far too many contact persons given the huge number of people who have symptoms wed be unable to test them as well as all the people theyve been in contact with at least not with the amount of tests we have currently if we had more tests we probably could back in the covert ward dr duvall fears the lax handling of the crisis in summer will put him and his colleagues in a very difficult position very soon.
