Algeria has helped Europe diversify its energy supplies by pumping more gas to Italy, French President Emmanuel Macron says during a visit to Africa's top gas exporter. Dismissing suggestions that Italy and France were "in competition" for Algerian gas, Macron welcoms a deal Algeria signed last month to pump more gas to Italy. The deal is "good for Italy, it's good for Europe and it improves the diversification of Europe," he tells reporters. SOUNDBITE TO COMPLETE VIDI32H44WP_EN & VIDI32H46TY_EN

Washington, Jan 21 (EFE/EPA).- Democrat Joe Biden will be the most pro-Europe president in the history of the United States, a former adviser to the new president's electoral campaign told EFE on Thursday.Juan Verde, a 49-year-old from Gran Canaria, Spain, is an advisor to the Democratic Party and former deputy assistant secretary for Europe and Eurasia at the Department of Commerce under the Barack Obama administration.(Camera: WILL OLIVER)SHOT LIST: INTERVIEW WITH US PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S FORMER ADVISER JUAN VERDE (IN SPANISH)Translations: 1. We are facing an administration that is going to show an attitude of firmness and ask for responsibilities. I mean, Russia in the last four years has been unchecked. It has done what it wanted, has acted the way it wanted and there has been no response. In part also because it suited Russia very well that the US and Europe did not have a common front. I believe the serious threat to Europe is called Russia. I believe that there we are going to have a common front and that it is going to manifest itself in many playing fields, in technology, energetically speaking, the addiction we have to Russian natural gas, the absolute dependence on energy that we have in Russia, which is not good, but that is why we must also promote renewable energy, cclean energy, be more self-sufficient energeticall-speaking.2. I absolutely believe that Biden is going to be the most pro-European president in US history. What do I base it on? First, in his history as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the 40 years he was in the Senate, his knowledge deep within the European idiosyncrasy, he knows the political actors, the European economic actors and then the team, but what is going to be the pivot of all of this, I think that before the new world panorama that is beginning to be drawn, of two great poles -USA and China-, where there is a common front and a common threat for Europeans, which is Russia; where we are facing, not a threat, but we are facing emerging economies such as Russia, India and Brazil. I believe that the key to foreign policy is the strengthening of the transatlantic relationship.
States across the US reported more than 3,900 deaths from COVID-19 on Wednesday. It was the largest single-day total since the pandemic began, says Business Insider.

On Saturday, GOP Rep-Elect Bob Good of Virginia labeled the coronavirus pandemic as "phony." Good made the remarks at a rally in support of President Donald Trump in Washington, DC. Business Insider reports he told the crowd they looked like a group of people that get that this is a phony pandemic." "It's a serious virus, but it's a virus. It's not a pandemic ... You get it. You stand up against tyranny." Just a day earlier, the US had roughly 231,000 new coronavirus infections and over 3,300 COVID-19 deaths. Both of those are record numbers for the country, according to the latest data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
