“ I think if I had n't already been going about another issue , I would have put it off for some time , '' she said .

`` I would encourage young people to familiarise themselves with the signs as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never think that you 're wasting someone 's time getting something checked out .

Sitting with her great-niece on her lap just hours after the US election , Kamala Harris told the four-year-old that one day she could become President .

Today Joe Biden was declared President-elect following a 33-year wait from when he entered his first White House race .
It means Harris will become the most powerful women ever in the States as his Vice-President .
And some feel she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s shoes and become America ’ s Commander in Chief – with her husband , Douglas Emhoff , the country ’ s first First Gentleman .
“ Kamala has sent out the strongest message yet that one day we will have equality in the White House , ” women ’ s rights activist Candice Worthington told the Sunday People .
“ Fourteen previous Vice-Presidents have gone on to become President .
“ But make no mistake , Kamala is not there because of her sex , she is there because of who she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ If not before , 2024 should be the year the world finally has a woman as the leader of the free world.
” Many see Harris ’ s vice-presidency as a prolonged job interview which will ultimately propel her into the Oval Office .
Some believe that could happen before the next election .
Biden ’ s age and concerns over his mental health have raised the prospect she could take over from the President if he is unable to continue in office for his full four- year term .

She has supported highly contentious taxpayer-funded abortions , arguing they would save the lives of lower-income women , while also proposing giving all workers six months of paid family leave for personal or medical issues – including those related to domestic violence .

ADORABLE MOMENT KAMALA HARRIS TELLS HER GREAT NIECE 'YOU COULD BE PRESIDENT'
ADORABLE MOMENT KAMALA HARRIS TELLS HER GREAT NIECE 'YOU COULD BE PRESIDENT'
Vice president elect Harris has made history becoming the most powerful women in the history if the US, and she wants to inspire girls like little Amara Ajagu to aim just as high
Sitting with her great-niece on her lap just hours after the US election, Kamala Harris told the four-year-old that one day she could become President.
However, if her great aunt continues her meteoric rise in US politics, little Amara Ajagu will be unable to create history as America’s first black female leader.
Today Joe Biden was declared President-elect following a 33-year wait from when he entered his first White House race.
It means Harris will become the most powerful women ever in the States as his Vice-President.
And some feel she could one day step into Biden’s shoes and become America’s Commander in Chief – with her husband, Douglas Emhoff, the country’s first First Gentleman.
“Kamala has sent out the strongest message yet that one day we will have equality in the White House,” women’s rights activist Candice Worthington told the Sunday People.
“Fourteen previous Vice-Presidents have gone on to become President.
“But make no mistake, Kamala is not there because of her sex, she is there because of who she is and what she stands for.
“If not before, 2024 should be the year the world finally has a woman as the leader of the free world.”
Many see Harris’s vice-presidency as a prolonged job interview which will ultimately propel her into the Oval Office.
Some believe that could happen before the next election.

Biden’s age and concerns over his mental health have raised the prospect she could take over from the President if he is unable to continue in office for his full four- year term. With a Jamaican father and Indian mother, the 56-year-old will become the first Black-Asian American and first woman to serve as the nation’s Vice-President.
And for the first time since Ronald Reagan – and the first time ever for the Democrats – a Californian is on a major party presidential ticket.
She will provide the liberal west, including Silicon Valley, with a voice in office the like of which has not been seen before.
Harris’s rise to prominence in the Senate came as an adversary to Donald Trump, with her progressive left-wing ideas.
Her background means she can also speak personally to the racial injustices that have surged to the forefront of the US’s consciousness in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd.
Harris is broadly aligned with the rest of her party in supporting police reforms but rather than openly call for defunding of law enforcement departments, as many Democrats have, she has spoken of “reimagining how we do public safety in America”.
Harris has described herself as a “progressive prosecutor” and “top cop” in her previous roles in California, where she served as Attorney General.
She has supported highly contentious taxpayer-funded abortions, arguing they would save the lives of lower-income women, while also proposing giving all workers six months of paid family leave for personal or medical issues – including those related to domestic violence.
They are values her family, including her nieces, know well.
And millions of American women will hope to benefit from them in the next four years.

As Joe Biden is named President Elect of the United States, the world can breathe a sigh of relief... but Boris Johnson has lost a valuable ally
Voice of The People: Trump's poison will not fade when he leaves the White House
The free world can breathe a sigh of relief with the election of Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.
The world’s largest economy and military power has just been spared the ignominy of another four years of the planet’s biggest and most dangerous clown.
Boris Johnson has lost another friend. And gained a strident White House critic.
Donald Trump showed in his petulant, lying performance as a bad loser just how little regard he has for the rules of democracy.
A victory for him would have unleashed a wave of populist extremism, bringing deeper social upheaval and giving encouragement to despotic leaders around the globe.
But it was a close-run thing and the poison that Trump has sown and nurtured throughout his country is a toxic legacy that will not disappear with his departure from the White House when that comes.
The election – still subject to dubious court challenges – confirmed a deep and troubling schism in America.
In a record turnout, Trump increased his vote from four years ago to 70million compared to Biden’s 74million. That is a long way short of a repudiation from all that Trump stood for.

thedailymirror--2020-11-07--Joe Biden pledges to heal US as world breathes sigh of relief over election win

Victorious Joe Biden has invited his fellow Americans to “ unite and heal ” as he became President-elect of the United States .
After days of vote counting and wild accusations by outgoing President Trump of rigged polls , Mr Biden finally got the result he wanted .
Most of America – and the world – breathed a huge sigh of relief after the most chaotic , hate-fuelled , US presidency came to an end .
Impromptu street parties broke out across America and thousands of Democrats gathered at the White House .
As news broke that he was to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States , Mr Biden said on Twitter : “ With the campaign over , it ’ s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation .
It ’ s time for America to unite .
And to heal .
“ America , I ’ m honoured that you have chosen me to lead our great country .
“ The work ahead of us will be hard , but I promise you this : I will be a President for all Americans – whether you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
” President Trump reacted badly and once again threatened legal action .
He broke off from playing golf to insist the vote was “ illegal ” – and claim he had won “ by a lot ” .
He later issued a bitter statement saying Mr Biden was “ rushing to falsely pose as the winner ” .
Mr Trump said the race was “ far from over ” and added : “ Beginning Monday , our campaign will start prosecuting our case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated .
“ I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that democracy demands.
” But the plain fact was most Americans voted for Mr Biden .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson , who while Mayor of London spoke disparagingly of Mr Biden , was one of the first to send his good wishes to Mr Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris .
He said : “ Congratulations to Joe Biden on his election and to Kamala Harris on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward to working closely together on our shared priorities.
” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said : “ Our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we want to overcome the great challenges of our time.
” France ’ s President Emmanuel Macron tweeted : “ We have a lot to do to overcome today ’ s challenges .
Let ’ s work together.
” Former Democrat president Barack Obama said he “ could not be prouder ” and called the election “ a historic and decisive victory ” .
He said : “ We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it takes to be president and already carries himself that way .
“ Because when he walks into the White House in January , he ’ ll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming president ever has – a raging pandemic , an unequal economy and justice system , a democracy at risk and a climate in peril .
I know he ’ ll do the job with the best interests of every American at heart , whether or not he had their vote.
” Hillary Clinton , who lost to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweeted : “ It ’ s a history-making ticket , a repudiation of Trump , and a new page for America .
“ Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen .
Onward , together.
” Mr Biden was announced President-elect after securing the vote in Pennsylvania .
At one point in the count he trailed Mr Trump by 600,000 – but clawed his way back once postal votes were counted .
The Democrat is 78 this month and when he is inaugurated in January will be the oldest ever US President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Sterling , Virginia , Mr Biden and Ms Harris were putting together a transition team and building a new administration .
They were given repeated updates on coronavirus levels in the States – after months of accusations that Mr Trump had failed to take the pandemic seriously .
It was a sweet moment for the President-elect , who first entered the Senate on November 7 , 1972 – 48 years ago to the day .
It was a more historic moment for women as Ms Harris became the first female Vice President-elect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woman , the first Indian-American woman and the first daughter of immigrants to land the role .
Throughout the campaign , Ms Harris faced both racist and sexist attacks from President Trump , who refused to pronounce her name correctly .
On Mr Biden being announced the winner , she tweeted : “ This election is about so much more than Joe Biden or me .
`` It ’ s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it .
We have a lot of work ahead of us .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ also posted a video of the emotional moment she called Mr Biden following his win .
“ We did it .
We did it , Joe , ” she tells him .
“ You ’ re going to be the next President of the United States.
” Mr Biden updated his Twitter profile to “ President-elect , husband to Dr Biden , proud father and grandfather .
Ready to build back better for all Americans ” .
Mrs Biden – or Dr Jill as she is known – posted a picture with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up the word “ Vice ” on a placard which read : “ Dr & Vice President Biden live here ” .
Mrs Biden has been a constant support during her husband ’ s campaign and one of his most trusted advisers .
The triumph comes after a career tinged with tragedy for her husband .
In 1972 he lost his first wife , Neilia Hunter , 30 , and a baby daughter , Naomi , in a car accident .
And in 2015 , his lawyer son Beau Biden died of brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s victory saw Mr Biden clinch Pennsylvania and Nevada – which carry 20 and six electoral college votes respectively .
It gave him an unassailable 279 votes to Mr Trump ’ s 214 , with four states yet to declare .
The winning post was 270 .
As Democrat supporters celebrated at the White House , fencing around the Presidential home was covered with signs saying “ loser ” , “ eviction notice ” and “ time to go ” .
Another placard referring to the President ’ s Mexican border obsession said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wall .
One Hope , One People .
United We Stand.
” In the Republican camp , meanwhile , worried leaders are voicing fears that Mr Trump ’ s outbursts are irrevocably damaging US democracy .
But while ever the President – known as King Kong by many in the administration – continues to have wild outbursts , no one dares tell him to admit defeat .
Even his eldest sons , Don Jr and Eric , are regularly berated by their father .
Republican leaders have pinned their hope on his favourite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But an insider told the Sunday Mirror that she , too , has not yet conceded election defeat .
Vice President Mike Pence is said to be too fearful of telling his boss to stand down , while others in the Trump cabinet are equally scared .

As news broke that he was to become the 46th President of the United States, Mr Biden said on Twitter : “With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.
“America, I’m honoured that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
“The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans – whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.”

President Trump reacted badly and once again threatened legal action.
He broke off from playing golf to insist the vote was “illegal” – and claim he had won “by a lot”.
He later issued a bitter statement saying Mr Biden was “rushing to falsely pose as the winner”.
Mr Trump said the race was “far from over” and added: “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.
“I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that democracy demands.”
But the plain fact was most Americans voted for Mr Biden.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who while Mayor of London spoke disparagingly of Mr Biden, was one of the first to send his good wishes to Mr Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

He said: “Congratulations to Joe Biden on his election and to Kamala Harris on her historic achievement.
“I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: “Our transatlantic friendship is irreplaceable if we want to overcome the great challenges of our time.”
France’s President Emmanuel Macron tweeted: “We have a lot to do to overcome today’s challenges. Let’s work together.”
Former Democrat president Barack Obama said he “could not be prouder” and called the election “a historic and decisive victory”.
He said: “We’re fortunate that Joe’s got what it takes to be president and already carries himself that way.
“Because when he walks into the White House in January, he’ll face a series of extraordinary challenges no incoming president ever has – a raging pandemic, an unequal economy and justice system, a democracy at risk and a climate in peril. I know he’ll do the job with the best interests of every American at heart, whether or not he had their vote.”

Hillary Clinton, who lost to Mr Trump in the 2016 race, tweeted: “It’s a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America.
“Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together.”
Mr Biden was announced President-elect after securing the vote in Pennsylvania.
At one point in the count he trailed Mr Trump by 600,000 – but clawed his way back once postal votes were counted.
The Democrat is 78 this month and when he is inaugurated in January will be the oldest ever US President.
While Mr Trump was playing golf in Sterling, Virginia, Mr Biden and Ms Harris were putting together a transition team and building a new administration.
They were given repeated updates on coronavirus levels in the States – after months of accusations that Mr Trump had failed to take the pandemic seriously.

It was a sweet moment for the President-elect, who first entered the Senate on November 7, 1972 – 48 years ago to the day.
It was a more historic moment for women as Ms Harris became the first female Vice President-elect.
She is also the first black woman, the first Indian-American woman and the first daughter of immigrants to land the role.
Throughout the campaign, Ms Harris faced both racist and sexist attacks from President Trump, who refused to pronounce her name correctly.
On Mr Biden being announced the winner, she tweeted: “This election is about so much more than Joe Biden or me.
"It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.”

She also posted a video of the emotional moment she called Mr Biden following his win.
“We did it. We did it, Joe,” she tells him. “You’re going to be the next President of the United States.”
Mr Biden updated his Twitter profile to “President-elect, husband to Dr Biden, proud father and grandfather. Ready to build back better for all Americans”.
Mrs Biden – or Dr Jill as she is known – posted a picture with her husband on Twitter. She delightedly covered up the word “Vice” on a placard which read: “Dr & Vice President Biden live here”.
Mrs Biden has been a constant support during her husband’s campaign and one of his most trusted advisers.
The triumph comes after a career tinged with tragedy for her husband. In 1972 he lost his first wife, Neilia Hunter, 30, and a baby daughter, Naomi, in a car accident.
And in 2015, his lawyer son Beau Biden died of brain cancer, aged 46.
Today’s victory saw Mr Biden clinch Pennsylvania and Nevada – which carry 20 and six electoral college votes respectively.
It gave him an unassailable 279 votes to Mr Trump’s 214, with four states yet to declare.
The winning post was 270. As Democrat supporters celebrated at the White House, fencing around the Presidential home was covered with signs saying “loser”, “eviction notice” and “time to go”.
Another placard referring to the President’s Mexican border obsession said: “Trump, Tear Down Your Wall. One Hope, One People. United We Stand.”
In the Republican camp, meanwhile, worried leaders are voicing fears that Mr Trump’s outbursts are irrevocably damaging US democracy.
But while ever the President – known as King Kong by many in the administration – continues to have wild outbursts, no one dares tell him to admit defeat.
Even his eldest sons, Don Jr and Eric, are regularly berated by their father.
Republican leaders have pinned their hope on his favourite child and daughter Ivanka talking him round.
But an insider told the Sunday Mirror that she, too, has not yet conceded election defeat.
Vice President Mike Pence is said to be too fearful of telling his boss to stand down, while others in the Trump cabinet are equally scared.

Gunners boss gave Argentine keeper his blessing to choose his move after eight years' service - and he left for Villa Park
Mikel Arteta will have no regrets about allowing Emi Martinez to stay in the Premier League even if he has a stormer against Arsenal today.
The Argentinian spent eight years with the Gunners but made just 15 top-flight appearances for the club, nine of which came at the back end of last season with Bernd Leno out injured.
Martinez was heroic as Arsenal beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup and plenty of supporters hoped he would finally get the chance to be No.1 that his loyalty had earned.
But it ended up being his farewell before a move to Aston Villa, where he has made a solid start.
Asked if he’d rather Martinez had moved abroad, Arteta said: “No. When we sat down and we believed it was the right thing to do.

“He has earned a lot of respect in this country, he has been here for 10 years and with his performances for us in the last few months.
“He believed it was the right club for him so I was happy to let him go and make the right decision for his career.
“His start there hasn’t surprised me.

Arsenal’s defeat by Villa at the end of last season contributed to them missing out on the top six and Arteta is working hard to eradicate that kind of result and the performance which led to it.
He added: “The right word is consistency and it is what we have been lacking over the years to be fighting with the top teams.
“It is not about doing it once, it is about doing it every three days. We know the level in this league, everyone can beat you and if you are not at your best you are going to suffer.
“I’m expecting a big game against Aston Villa, it is a really important one for us to be strong at home and get another three points before the international break.
“They all have to be prepared and they all know what Villa have done this season so they will be.”
One player who has been on it this season is Hector Bellerin, who is finally back to his best after missing eight months in 2019 with a brucite ligament injury.
Arteta added: “When you have a big injury like that, it can take almost a year for your brain to reset and accept that injury and bio-mechanically become the same player.
“His performances are getting better and better.”

Liverpool leaving history behind to embrace bright future at new training complex
Liverpool’s move to their £50million state of art Kirkby training complex will leave the ghosts of Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish behind.
For more than 70 years Melwood has been the hub of Liverpool's development as one of Europe’s major football forces.
But during the international break following today’s trip to title rivals Manchester City, the switch to a redeveloped youth academy also housing Jurgen Klopp’s first team squad will take place.
It’s a far cry from the training facilities a bemused Shankly discovered when he joined the club as manager back in 1959.
“It was a sorry wilderness. One pitch looked like a couple of bombs had been dropped on it while on another the grass was long enough for Jimmy Melia (a 5ft 7in forward) to hide in standing up,” he recalled in his autobiography ‘My Story’.

Today’s Melwood encompasses a swimming pool. Laughed Callaghan: “The nearest thing we had to that was the communal bath at Anfield. After winning the League everyone would be in the bath with the champagne. That was our pool.”

thedailymirror--2020-11-07--Harry Kane defends himself following penalty controversy against Brighton

Harry Kane insists he did nothing wrong against Brighton last week — and that it WAS a penalty .
The Tottenham star came under scrutiny after referee Graham Scott awarded Spurs a penalty following his coming together with Adam Lallana .
Former Arsenal defender-turned-pundit Martin Keown claimed it was Kane , not Lallana , who was guilty of dangerous play and plenty of others agreed .
The incident came on the same weekend that Mo Salah was accused of diving to win a penalty against West Ham , prompting widespread debate .
But Kane said : “ We play in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other minute probably with the opposition defenders .
“ So unless you ’ re going to completely take physical contact out of the game , you ’ re going to get decisions where it ’ s a 50-50 call and that ’ s all that was .
“ Cheating is when you try deliberately to draw a foul or jump over someone or fall to the ground without any contact .
“ It ’ s clear that my one at the weekend was both of us challenging for the ball and I tried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ someone came through the back of me .
“ As a striker , when you ’ re dealing with long balls all the time in the middle of the pitch from goal-kicks , long balls from defenders , you ’ re getting your body in the way and trying to hold the ball and take pressure off the team .
“ The weekend was just a similar situation , it just happened to be in the box .
“ The ball went up in the air , I tried to get my body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he has come through the back of me before getting the ball and the ref made a decision .
“ It ’ s one of those , 50-50 , I ’ ve had stuff my way in my career , I ’ ve had those decisions not go my way .
“ But that ’ s why the refs are there and that ’ s why VAR is there .
“ If that was just from a goal-kick , I don ’ t think there ’ s any debate at all .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it got given as a penalty that obviously a lot of people want to talk about it .
“ It ’ s one of those , I got my body in the way , I got there before him and he has come through the back of me so it caused me to go down .
“ That ’ s then down to the ref to make a decision .
“ I ’ m not going to cry if I don ’ t get it , I ’ m not going to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
“ I got the decision , scored a goal and move on from there.
” Lallana , Kane ’ s old England team-mate , clearly disagreed with the decision and the pair were pictured deep in conversation after it .
Kane added : “ We were just having a discussion and he was saying if my one was a foul then obviously – I can ’ t remember what Brighton player went down as well – he said that one was a foul as well .
“ Again , that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one they probably felt hard done by but those things happen so often in the season it ’ s just when they become a penalty decision you talk about it a little bit more .
