In last speech as US President, Trump wishes Biden ‘great success’ ahead of inauguration
Donald Trump has left the White House for the very last time as US President, heading to his home in Mar-O-Lago in Florida. He has kept a low-profile for the last two weeks of his mandate following an insurrection on Capitol Hill on January 6. In his last speech as sitting president, he has nevertheless wished the incoming administration “great success and great luck”.

Biden inauguration: 'Celebrate, despite everything'
IN THE PRESS - Wednesday, January 20, 2021: As Joe Biden's Inauguration Day dawns, joy is scarce in the US papers. The country's Covid-19 death toll just surpassed 400,000 people and on both sides of the political aisle, the country is exhausted. Still, the Washington Post urges the nation to "celebrate, despite everything". Papers in the UK and France are greeting the day with more enthusiasm, as are celebrities who are making their return to Washington after a four-year snub of the Trump White House.

In final hours as US President, Donald Trump pardons former top strategist Steve Bannon
Donald Trump made the most of his final hours as the 45th President of the United States this morning by handing out another 73 presidential pardons. Among these, the former White House counsellor Steve Bannon, who was also Trump’s top strategist on the 2016 Presidential campaign. While many speculated he would also pardon members of his family, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani or even himself, these have finally been proven wrong.

Palestinian Territories to hold first national election in 15 years
After 15 years, Palestinians will go to the polls for a parliamentary election on May 22. The presidential vote will be held on July 31. Observers say this could pave the way for reconciliation between Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement – which controls the West Bank – and Hamas, who have authority over Gaza. This comes at a time when Palestinians in both areas are immensely disillusioned with their leaders. We speak to Omar Shaban, founder and director of the Gaza-based think tank PalThink for Strategic Studies.

Change at the White House: Can Joe Biden be the next Roosevelt?
The stage is set in Washington for what's gearing up to be a very different handover of power. Against the backdrop of the devastating Covid-19 pandemic in the United States and in a climate of recent tensions sparked by violence and the threat of further turmoil, Joe Biden will raise his hand, read his oath and pick up the reins of power in front of a handful of dignitaries, but huge amounts of security personnel. In our Perspective segment, we spoke to French journalist Mathieu Magnaudeix about covering the Trump presidency and the challenges ahead for Biden.
