President Joe Biden has addressed the nation from the White House, in his first speech since Donald Trump’s election win.

Biden began his remarks by saying that for over 200 years, the US has carried out the “greatest experiment of self-government in the history of the world”, where the people vote and choose their own leaders and do it peacefully, “where the will of people always prevails”.

Biden also said he spoke with President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory and that he would help him with an orderly transition of power.

Biden has also paid tribute to his vice-president, saying Kamala Harris ran an “inspiring campaign”.

I witnessed Christa Pike’s botched execution | BBC News

Published

on



In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.

Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.

As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.

The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.

This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.

You can watch more episodes of It Happened to Me on BBC iPlayer.
