Drifting over water probably not affecting even the philippines the next few days we havent got much ingress of winter its sunshine for most of japan the Korean Peninsula and china so there is some increase in the cloud in the western side of china as for india well if youre in chennai or south wales or in sri lanka its going to be wet. But. A secret agent claimed by both israel and egypt will any case officer who receives. Double agent lol is assume the worst truth or lies fact or fiction most of the documents are faulty peoples ideas will still be under wraps al jazeera well tells the story of a man and many secrets accept might one day elicit the spy on aljazeera. When corona virus struck america care homes for the elderly became ground 0 they cut corners things dont get done and people die as a result faultlines reveals how a troubled industry imploded under the weight of the pandemic we put profit above patient care. But isnt that the american way. Tells us what kind of people we are. When covert hit americas nursing home. Or mine of the top stories here not just here the race to the white house is still too close to call but it seems it could be tilting the way of former Vice President joe biden after he won the states of wisconsin and arizona results from 5 states are still outstanding. In an address earlier on wednesday biden said he believes its clear his campaign has won enough states to clinch the White House Biden stopped short of claiming victory saying every vote must be counted. In all the trouble campaign is amounts to has filed a suit to hold vote counting in the states of pennsylvania and michigan and also requested a recount in wisconsin. Which won by conservative commentator rena shaw she joins us live from reston virginia by skype thanks very much for being with us so presumably these moves to to go to court by the by the campaign thats that was to be expected to tell us how you think thats going to play out. You know i think these these threats of taking it to the courts right now just are rather nonsensical we dont know because that lever actually hasnt formally been pulled given that states are still counting what the president really wants right now is for certain states to stop counting he wants pennsylvania and michigan to probably stop counting and in pennsylvania hes leading but he could fall behind an amish again he probably cant catch up there so then were looking at where he wants that counting to continue in arizona where hes behind and data where hes behind but this recount where he wants it most is wisconsin where hes actually lost and so thats kind of very important here because the Republican National chair woman is from the state of wisconsin and im sorry shes from michigan but a great many of the supporters the previous chairperson was from wisconsin and centers like ron johnson former congressman john duffy some this most fervent advocate and supporters are from wisconsin so i think its a really emotional blow this president tends to do things emotionally and so again i know that both sides have lawyers already but right now it just doesnt make any sense he thing in pennsylvania for example he wanted his lawyers to go in last night and stop the count right now were seeing videos in michigan and detroit where his supporters have gone to locations where ballots are being counted things stop the count again nonsensical so lets talk about the fact that with this president actually has done to get us to where we are today number one is clean the mail and voting encourages voter fraud in elections that secondly discouraged to his supporters from voting by mail thirdly hes ensured the 1000000 ballots couldnt be counted before wednesday morning and thats in certain states at least 3 states like pennsylvania where republican legislatures have done that and fourthly hes demanded to know the results on Election Night last night. It is just not possible in our system what is happening right now is to pickle of what has happened in so many years cast ballots do get counted after election day is over so tell me why is if if this is all kind of normal procedure in some ways that these votes can should continue like this and you think this is the wrong decision to go to court why why are the republicans not making any noises about saying that we should allow these votes be counted why are we hearing nothing from republicans about this. Well what they have seen in these past 4 years elected republicans like those i mentioned have been elected the senate into the house they have completely about at the altar of President Trump they have accepted that he was the person who made it out of a huge pack of the stablish meant elected officials who are running for the nomination in 2015 into 16 so when he emerged victorious what republicans really did was get in line behind him and what they did to people like myself a lifelong republican who was elected who was at the local level and elected to the Republican National convention when we did not accept this president during even his candidacy when he was a presumptive nominee for the republicans they taught us that we were not republicans and that we better fall in line and so that again something ive seen in these 4 years and we have brought totals right now that are really actually proving that that more republicans are falling in line behind this president and support him in greater numbers than they did in 2016 and now thats what we get down to the demographics of white women for example but what were really big fact we should not discount is that bidens popular vote lead an hour ago when i checked was with 3000000. Something 2. 2 percent and it surpassed clintons popular vote lead of 2900000 and so that was again we look at 2016 and where Hillary Clintons vote lead was how she lost the house she lost the presidency even though she won over about 3000000 popular votes more than donald trump were seeing joe biden has had a real success so so although were still we dont have a definitive winner right this moment ill the last night caused a great deal of consternation in the minds of democrats its very important to see what has been accomplished and i think the democrats should see this for a win ill be it yes it was a close race but really what were seeing is a Republican Party that has see the really true. To their man so theyre not going to step out of line and criticize the absolutely unamerican speech she gave in the Early Morning hours today theyre not going to criticize the effort is taking by by saying im going to get my lawyers into this im going to take this all the way to Supreme Court theyre going to stand by and say nothing because thats what theyve done for 4 years so you know i mean actually also the presumed a lot of the thinking that he did better than expected so perhaps what what would you say that the kind of factor has been in terms of of people continuing to vote for trump in spite of the problems of the pandemic in spite of the problems of the economy whats the whats the magic ingredient you think for him. That is an incredible question and it is very much a 1000000 dollar question because ive been ive been doing a lot of soul searching these past 4 years to figure out do i believe this party i mean my entire career in this party but i was ostracized as the 1st ever delegate in the country to speak out against the now president and i couldnt quite figure out then what it was and i figured out that really what would really was that play was that republicans had made a decision that they were willing to accept an imperfect man somebody that has been married 3 times you know just doesnt act in a very christian manner and look its no secret that the majority the Republican Partys membership is christian and this is a party that is again looking less and less like current at the present day america the demographics are not really pointing to that but it seems to me in these 4 years and especially this year in the many conversations ive had this year with republican women in an effort to get them to understand and perhaps even accept voting for joe biden over and over ive heard one thing and its the justices its the judges its all about these judicial appointments for these Republican Voters because thats the legacy that they believe that any president can really and so yes its the economy in some ways of course its National Security as well that kind of stuff is typical bread and butter for any republican voter theyre looking for you know a real strong man on defense somebody that really the economy well would they really really want him more than anything was conservative justices ive heard it from women and ive heard it from men and so even having 3 justices appointed to the Supreme Court was enough they want more and that is why i think many of them pulled the lever for donald trump this time thats number one but secondly also i do believe the democrats narrative of saying that the liberals if you put them in the white house are going to give you socialism i think that really did scare Many Republican women female republican of the women voters excuse me a few miles especially is what i wanted to say in 2 to voting against biden and saying you know what id rather take trump rhenish i thank you very much for your thoughts on the subject thank you. Certainly thank you for the well has been watching the u. S. Elections but not everyone has been impressed officials from some countries usually criticized by the u. S. Including in africa have noted the uncertainty surrounding the vote. As a senior fellow in the Global Economy and Development Program and the Africa Growth initiative at the Brookings Institution he says the u. S. Has damaged its reputation its extremely shocking to have the. President and his lawyer as we are heard try to discredit this extremely Important Institution which is. Elections and voting so its quite disappointing coming from all and well established democracy search. The one here in the United States and this is a really. Should be quantitative emporiums of accountability at relievers so. Gripping in at been seen Democratic Development in term of the quality of democracy in terms of quality of institution whats your prediction and those labor are the following one the Personnel Accountability the. Point that bt vertical accountability or isnt that a point that bt and darwin that want that beach ethiopia has begun military operations in the north of the country because of an escalation in tension there the local government in the tigre a region has been accused of attacking federal troops but the whole forces have dismissed that accusing the Prime Minister of plotting conflict a 6 months later emergency has been declared by the federal government welcome wemyss in nairobi in neighboring kenya explains whats led to the tension. Ethiopia was due to hold nationwide elections in august but they were postponed the Central Government said because of covert 19 to grain Regional Government said that that meant Prime Minister ahmed and his government would no longer legitimate to gray and Regional Government went ahead and organize their own region of elections in september the Central Government didnt accept the results of that election so we already had a situation where these 2 or thirtys werent recognizing each other the central federal government and threatened to cut funding to the to gray region its also significant that the majority of ethiopias armed forces are stationed in the to gray region including most of its tanks and its heavy artillery its a growing Regional Government has said that part of the military known as the Northern Command has defected to its side to the Central Government refutes that certainly any split within ethiopias large military along with the grain aligned militias already on that side do pose a very high risk a very dangerous civil war and now the reason so much of the military being based in that part of the country is because of decades of conflict between ethiopia and neighboring eritrea and now that conflict was finally resolved 2 years ago when Prime Minister came to power he was even given a Nobel Peace Prize for ending it so now we have a situation where eritrea is allied with the Central Government in addis ababa a conflict between. And to great could see eritrea being drawn in on this about as side risks spreading the conflict around the region and destabilizing the whole of the horn of africa still to come one.
