Its dice to see the attention are rising despite this was like 30 Stormy Weather during wednesday particular thursday. So i was only 20 and not improving very much, but you skies are largely brought at least if the harvest hasnt come in news in New South Wales. Its being somewhat flattened at the moment that with a slow moving its cheris wet, in the biggest chance of probably up in queens in northern greece and tropical queensland. Now its nice and settled. Most of china on the Korean Peninsula winter is trying to come across into japan particular card and it has done just recently, but were going to suddenly breeze. So niceish weather during surgery that its back down to the potential bit of winter on the tops of the highest ground during fridays to 12 in sapporo, but a wet catching, the sas corner of china. Last for india, up in the northern plain for the poor and still the quality rain for the south of the us is deeply divided. The millions of americans feel disaffected and ignored by both political parties, and the Political Class is point scoring again is a dangerous game. But as a game of the sick little folk lines examines the political currents ripping through American Society in a description for a novel, the publisher would send it back and say, its too unbelievable. Trump versus biden, the race to the white house on a jazeera welcome back. Heres a reminder of the top stories on our jazeera coronavirus restrictions are being reimposed in several states across the u. S. Where more than 130000 cases were confirmed on tuesday. In europe, the u. K. Has reported 595 deaths in 24 hours, while 623 new deaths were recorded. Initially.

At least 85 people are now confirmed dead in the violence surrounding the vote.

There is huge anger at an equal push me and over the agreement, which allows us to keep land that it captured during 6 weeks of battles. U. S. President donald trump has made his 1st public appearance since joe biden was named president elect on saturday. Trump marked the veterans day at a ceremony in arlington, virginia, but that not speak to the media. He still hasnt conceded defeat or spoken publicly since losing his bid for reelection. Instead, hes launched a barras of lawsuits in several key states, the latest being michigan to try to block the midwestern battleground state from certifying its results. Meanwhile, president elect joe biden marked veterans day at a woman morial in philadelphia before returning home to delaware. Hes been unable to move into federal office space or use Government Funds to hire staff because of trumps refusal to cooperate. But he says his transition plans are moving forward and his top finance trade and banking experts for his team. Alan fischer joins us live now from washington d. C. So the president we see there being slightly uncharacteristically quiet. Have we heard anything at all from the Trump Campaign . And how difficult can they make the transition period for joe biden . I dont think weve heard from the president for the longest period since he announced he was running for president , even when he was in hospital. Of course, he was sending out twitter videos, but hes tweeted out in the last hour a video that he says shows ballot stuffing. Its really comes from l. A. County on the 4th of november. The ballot workers were picking up ballots from a lot box that had been logged at 8 pm on the day of the election. Those votes were counted. The person on the video complaining that the state already being called it was california. Joe biden won the state by more than 5000000 votes, but were told that those votes where actually counted the problem is donald trump and others are saying this was today. Its not today. And thats the problem that the campaign has got to keep claiming there was widespread voter fraud, but theyre not producing any Firm Evidence of it. For example, in georgia where theyre going to go for a recount. Thats going to disputing about 58 ballots there in arizona. Theyre saying that dead people voted in the check of the all sure that dead people didnt actually vote. And of course theres no going to be a manual recount in georgia, which is good news for the Trump Campaign. They say this is just part of the process they think will flip this state, but theyve got to be aware that in 2016, Hillary Clinton asked for wisconsin to be recounted as well. She got the recount. She got 713 more votes, but dont try to get more than 800 more votes and so increased his lead in wisconsin. So thats a problem for him. How difficult is the transition period . Well, its not good news for joe biden. I mean, hes putting a very good face on it by saying, look, hes kind of got to do that because this is a guy that ran on bipartisanship on being able to reach across the aisle. The fact that he can bring both parties together for the benefit of the america. So hes not going to start trashing the republicans before hes even moved in to the white house. But there is a concern among national sick, the experts that there could be a lag that joe biden isnt getting the daily Intelligence Briefings that he should be getting. But the process of moving the National Security apparatus to a new administration isnt already underway. That was highlighted in the 911 report because of course, with the dili in 2000 in florida for more than 30 days. And they suggested that slowed americas possible response to viewing the what happened on 911. So there are implications for that. But joe biden, at the moment to say its all good. Were going to get this done. Alan fischer with, the latest from washington, d. C. , alan, think you its going to libya now. The country is expected to hold elections within the next 18 months after reaching a breakthrough during u. N. Backed political talks in tunisia, this comes after rival factions agreed to a plan to unite libyas institutions. Many of them are split between the u. N. Recognize government based in the west and warlord ali for have terrorism, Libyan National army in the east. The talks follow a ceasefire, agreed between the warring sides last months. Saudi arabias king solomon has urged the International Community to take a decisive stance against iran and stop its nuclear and Ballistic Missile programs. The monarchy made the comments just hours after the uns Nuclear Watchdog said iran was continuing to breach the 2050 nuclear deal. The International Atomic Energy Agencys report says iran has increased and boosted the purity of its uranium stockpile. Far beyond what its allowed, the i. A. E. A. Says iran is moving at vance. The centrifuges to an underground site, apparently built to withstand aerial bombardment. Irans nuclear deal with world powers has been unraveling since President Trump withdrew from it in 2018. The u. N. Is calling it a countdown to catastrophe. Millions of men, women, and children in yemen will face famine within months of more aid. Money doesnt come in. The uns humanitarian chief says an extra one and a half 1000000000. 00 is needed to avert the crisis or diplomatic editor james phase reports. Now from the u. N. Like the u. N. Security council, which told the warning lights were blinking red with the world food program. The winner of this years Nobel Peace Prize talking of the risk of famine in months. I would literally like to be pretty clear, pretty blunt about the situation because i dont want person to leave here without any doubt about the scale of the humanitarian disaster that were now confronting in yemen. So were on a countdown right now to a catastrophe in yemen. His comments were echoed by the uns humanitarian coordinator, who made it clear. This was a manmade crisis. Yemenis, im not going hungry. They are being starved. All of us artists of the conflict Spirit Council members in this humanitarian organizations and should do everything we can to stop this time is running out. That begs the question. Who is starving yemenis . Well, the u. N. Is not saying, but in recent years, the bulk of the humanitarian funding has come from 2 countries. Saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates 2 countries that are also bombing yemen. Some of called it blood money. But this year, they both reduce their funding significantly.

Politicians have resigned from the citys legislature after china passed the resolution disqualifying 4 of their colleagues. The government says theyre a threat to National Security, but critics accuse china of silencing the said the bigger palin reports from hong kong. Oh, they say the fight is far from over. Their resignations are a show of solidarity. We cannot simply afford to stay on because minus our full colleagues who are ousted the 15 of us simply dont have the minimum number to a protest also from being unseated. Eventually one by one by the beijing type. The group resignation came after chinas highest Decision Making body disqualified for prodemocracy legislators. The reasons include seeking foreign interference in hong kongs affairs, promoting independence, threatening National Security, and refusing to acknowledge beijing sovereignty over the territory. While hope to god jean rules of every lawmaker must show that there was a possibility of supporting the basic law of hong kong and be loyal to china. So that we are able to have a political system dominated by patriarch. The 4 prodemocracy legislative councillors who at a meeting when the National People Standing Committee handed down the resolution, they were disqualified within minutes of the announcement. The row ahead will be bumpy, difficult and challenging. And in fact, just like every winter, it will be extremely difficult. But i am in full favor of hong kong or hong kong hours outside the government headquarters. Some celebrated the news. These for politicians awful abuse their power to manipulate and discard the general public to go against our country is clear now that betrayal will no longer be tolerated. Hong kong operates under chinas one country 2 systems model, which is meant to guarantee the citys government has given the high degree of autonomy. Its legislature was a symbol of that divided between legislators pushing for closer ties with beijing and those fighting for democracy. This will be the 1st time Hong Kongs Legislative Council will have no prodemocracy representation. Since the former british colony return to china, 997. Half of the citys 70 Member Legislature is directly elected by the public with the other half chosen by industry groups.
