We start this hour in the U.S., where Joe Biden is vowing to unify the country after declaring victory over Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election.
(Joe Biden / Projected U.S. President-elect)
"I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify, who doesn't see red states and blue states – only sees the United States."
His running mate Kamala Harris is set to become the country's first female vice president.
She will also be the first African American and the first Asian American to assume the post.
(Kamala Harris / Projected U.S. Vice President-elect)
"For four years, you marched and organized for equality and justice, for our lives and for our planet, and then, you voted."
"And you delivered a clear message. You chose hope and unity, decency, science, and yes, truth."
