Morning, everyone. The Democrats have lost the presidency but they’re determined not going to be sore losers. Joe Biden told the American people overnight that there would be a peaceful handover of power (unlike last time, folks), and said it was time to “bring down the temperature”. We have news and analysis on the latest from the US, including the triumph of the “manosphere” and 10 reasons the Democrats lost. And this just in – Trump can add Vladimir Putin to the list of world leaders sending their congratulations.

At home Optus has copped a big fine, the national architecture awards have been handed down, and the ABC celebrates 50 years of Countdown.
