let's get the latest on the US election 

and the state of Nevada home to Las 

Vegas has finally been called for Donald 

Trump it leaves just Arizona to now be 

called it takes Donald Trump's Electoral 

College tally to more than 300 while the 

president-elect has begun naming some of 

his top team he's announced that Susie 

WS will become the white house chief of 

staff that's one of the most powerful 

jobs in American politics well she was 

an architect of this campaign she'll 

become the first woman to hold the role 

and Mr Trump's described her as tough 

smart and Innovative well her political 

career dates back to Ronald Reagan's 

campaign in 1980 she since helped elect 

dozens of prominent Republicans 

including the governor of Florida Ron 

Des santis well CZ WS met Donald Trump 

during the 2015 Republican primary in 

Florida she ended up being the co-chair 

of his campaign there in 2016 a state of 

course which he won over Hillary Clinton 

well in his victory speech earlier in 

the week the president elect described 

Susie WS as the ice maiden and one of 

the most feared political operatives in 

the US well as Donald Trump plans his 

presidency from the heavily protected 

maralago Resort in Florida where he 

lives the manhill replace has spoken of 

the need for a peaceful transition but 

Joe Biden issued a statement yesterday 

from the Rose Garden of the White House 

while our North America correspondent 

has the latest updates 

for months he warned another Trump 

presidency would be a threat to 

democracy Now US President Joe Biden 

left reassuring the American people I 

will do my duty as president I'll 

fulfill my oath and I will honor the 

constitution on January 20th we'll have 

a peaceful transfer of power here in 

America a transfer of power that could 

be very beneficial to Vladimir Putin 

congratulating Mr Trump on Thursday 

saying he was ready to 

talk what he said publicly about wanting 

to improve relations with Russia and 

resolve the Ukraine conflict I think 

that at least deserves attention hoping 

of course Mr Trump will end the war on 

terms beneficial to 

him a deeply concerning possibility for 

the rest of Europe and especially 

Vladimir zinski 

currently right now I believe that 

President Trump trump really 

wants uh a quick decision yes he wants 

that it doesn't mean that it will happen 

this 

way and you know I am stating the fact 

that we are where we are we are in war 

against Russians and it's a fact and 

it's the most complicated 

enemy at a summit in Hungary European 

leaders discussing the new reality fears 

US military aid to keev will disappear 

under Mr Trump come here but for now all 

the president- elect has done is appoint 

a new Chief of Staff the ice B we call 

it the ice longtime campaign manager 

Susie WS the first of many political 

appointments that will be closely 

watched at home and abroad Samir Hussein
