Officials have repeatedly denied that any irregularities have taken place. Well, with georgia now called biden has extended his lead and won the presidency with 306 Electoral College votes. He needed 270. Donald trump fell short with 232. Trumps legal team has again promised to produce evidence of what it calls a massive democratic conspiracy is a steal. The president ial election, though it has obvious failed to do so. Alan fresh reports from washington. Theres no sign from his legal team that donald trump is preparing to concede. In fact, theyre digging in for a long legal battle, even though almost all the Court Actions until know, have been dismissed. No cleaving without producing any evidence. Theres been a democratic and International Conspiracy to steal the president ial election. This is real, it is not made up. It is not, theres nobody here that engages in fantasies. Ive tried a 100 cases, a prosecutor, some of the most dangerous criminals in the world. I no crimes. I can smell them. You dont have to smell this one. I can prove it. 18 different ways. Donald trumps own Election Security agency declared the 2020 president ial election the most secured in american history. The president has both taken credit for that and declared the democrats stall the election. He also fired the head of the agency. One of his lawyers, baselessly claims. Theres been communist interference in the election. What were really dealing with here and uncovering more about the day is the massive influence of communist money, venezuela, cuba, and likely china, and the interference with our elections here in the united states. The Term Campaign says it intends to file a number of lawsuits in a number of states in the coming days. Yet in the lawsuits filed so far, it has stopped short of claiming widespread voter fraud and its produced no evidence of the conspiracy claims its making no. While the legal battles go on the trumpet, ministration continues to block transition planning. President elect joe bidens, frustration is growing and said donald trump is sending a terrible message about democracy. It is hard to fathom how this man thinks its hard to fathom. And im confident he knows he has one who is not going to be able to. Were going to be sworn in in january 20th, and i just, you know, for, for me to question his motive is just outrageous. What hes doing with new states reporting widespread issues. The Term Campaigns efforts to prove fraud seem doomed to feel, but it could delay final confirmation on trumps acceptance of what seems inevitable. Alan fischer at the white house. Well, i used to robinson, but what benson is an assistant professor of Political Science at Howard University and he says, some academics have been referring to transfer fusil to conceive as an attempt to true this sort of occasion process is working as it always has georgia for example, a state which had a hand recount at the president s campaign for qwest, found that there was no irregularity and not a significant change in bidens lead and will certify tomorrow. The secretary of state and the governor who are jointly responsible for certification have signaled that theyre going to certify the president is, again, escalating and seeking as more and more desperate means to challenge this. He has a number of legal recourses of dubious constitutionality. One thing that is important to recognize though is that the president is contesting or attempting to retain power in a way that contravenes the normal rules for elections. Again, this is the 59th president ial election. And one thing to note is that the president is simply not accepting the normal rules. He is trying to undermine those rules or dismantle them in order to retain power. Some political scientists are starting to call this an attempted coup, and while its almost certain to fail, its just ripping to know that the Republican Party today in a tweet stood behind the president s claims. Again, this is to some degree unprecedented in the history of american democracy. The Biggest Issue confronting joe biden as he takes office is the west wing quran a virus pandemic. The u. S.

S. Secretary of state to visit an illegal settlement in the occupied west bank. Hes also become the 1st to set foot in the occupied golan heights. And the latest and most controversial leg of his 10 day tour of the middle east and europe high force it has been getting ready for the 1st visit by u. S. Secretary of state to an illegal israeli settlement. The Psagot Winery had named a blend for my pump, a 0 after he declared a year ago, a change in american policy no longer viewing israeli settlements as contrary to international law. Its a strong statement against all of those. Whatever theyre called we, as pompei arrived to state department, was announcing new policy requiring all settlement made goods to be labeled as israeli. When entering the us market. The declaration of sorts that annexed or not, the u. S. See settlements as israeli territory. Us administration is not biased towards the occupation. Its a partner and the occupation. Weve seen it all before. He didnt surprises at all. Posted photos of his tour on his twitter feed saying he hoped not to be the last u. S. Secretary of state to make such a visit. The view from the palestinian side very different. The city of albury is home to a large number of jewel us palestinian citizens, whom the settlement of sangatte is their stolen land. I cant even get close to the settlement would be ill be putting myself and anybody around me and the physical harm thats been since the seventys as my family got to visit their own land for all the controversy attached to this visit by my pompei o to the settlement and for all of this, talk about a possible 2nd trump administration. This visit to israel has had the atmosphere of something of a goodbye tour and that was detectable in the statement that he and the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu gave in jerusalem. The 2 men went over a litany of trumpet cheve months on behalf of israel was eager to show that the world had not yet dried up. But we will regard the globe or any israel b. D. S.

S. Administration. That continues to make radical shifts on mideast policy with just 2 months left in its term force it out in the occupied west bank. Here on aljazeera, a language of peace rather than war. The u. N. Security council is optimistic about a breakthrough in libya following talks with rival factions and a cry for help from communities across Central America after storm ayers, that leaves a trail of destruction for how it was time for the storm to develop in the eastern med and heres the circulation, this will strong wind down across the bosphorus and the aegean, into crete. And then the warm water means a circulation starts, which means showers from northern egypt writes an event and up towards the caucasus. Its cold enough now for the high ground of turkey for that to show itself a snow. Its cold enough the same to happen in iraq on the high ground. For most its going to be rain showers in the showers, continue the temps, only 16 druce are for example throughout saturday. So its rain, then showers mostly was sunshine and that line of potential thunderstorm stretches right into the heart of saudi arabia as well. After that, as for tropical africa, still cant rule out yet more rain on its way into the whole somalia because of the circulation in the arabian sea. Now if that carries on security moving west, you can imagine the result of the most part, the rain moving sas back slightly dry inside sudan. And that rain moving south is good news for the delta, for example. There is clouds trashy right across it. Now in the forecast, it does rain here. So from angola down through botswana to a good part of south africas veldt is like 3 sherry or thundery. Do you feel validated in south way as a type of performative activism . Lets go back to specifically you calling donald trump a white supremacist. The lights are on and theres nowhere to hide. Join me, richelle carey, is up with the questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate front row times on aljazeera. Well again, i missed out the attainder thats remind you of our top stories this hour. U. S. President elect joe biden, has maintained his lead over donald trump and the hand audit of ballots in the state of georgia. President still refuses to recognize bidens victory as a move that biden says is totally irresponsible and dependencies and might compare has become the 1st u. S. Secretary of state to visit an illegal israeli settlement in the occupied west bank and the occupied golan heights. Its the latest and most controversial leg of his 10 day tour of the middle east and europe. At least 16 people have been killed in uganda during protests, sparked by the arrest of opposition. Politician bobby wine Security Forces shot at supporters of the pop star turned politician as they demonstrated after he was detained on wednesday. Officials have accused him of violation coronavirus restrictions while campaigning for the upcoming president ial election. Malcolm webb is following this for us from the kenyan capital nairobi. His Spokesman Says hes in a high Security Police facility, which is in the eastern city of ginger. Thats not so far from where he was arrested when he was campaigning. Police havent confirmed where he is, but the winds lawyers and the spokesman of complaining as im being given access to legal representation or to his medical team. Theyre worried that he might be injured. Theyre waiting to see if or when he might be produced in front of a court. Yesterdays wife shared on social media media. One appeared to be a charge sheet saying that hed be charged with offenses relating to spread of causing the spread of disease. That refers to the rallies that have been holding which visibly have much larger crowds than the ministry of health, the limit of 200. 00, which is ostensibly to prevent transmission. All the other thing that might happen is that probably one might be taken back to his home, discretely has been arrested several times before. And often the Security Services with bobby wine and with other prominent opposition, politicians in an attempt to quell the unrest, tried to just take those people home maybe late in the night, so that people dont continue protesting on the streets. But they certainly face between a couple of tough options. Now theres nearly 2 months to go before this election. And if they allow these rallies to continue, that says well local calling to the government will be problematic for covert 19, although his supporters believe these restrictions are simply to stop people seeing how popular a years all the fights for ethiopias, northern tea grey region is moving ever closer to the areas capital, Prime Minister, ill be off meds as his forces are closing in on mecca, an official at the citys University Says a number of students there have already been injured and a Government Air strike. The Ethiopian Government there has previously denied targeting civilians, and its also promised to bring back more than 30000 refugees whove fled to neighboring sudan reports from the capital, addis ababa. I dont think, given the government knows the true extent of the humanitarian situation on the ground. Thats why they said today that they are sending a task force to look into the gravity of the situation on the ground. Even before the war started, there were hundreds of thousands of people who depended on food aid into region. They had to be fed by the charities. The charities have been unable to replenish their talk of relief, food in the past 2 weeks. Vehicles laden with relief and food supplies. Us talk at the border. The tickler a region has with them how to region. Weve been informed of long queues for bread, not just mckenna, but all the other towns in the to grey region. There are also of the thousands, upon thousands of refugees from the trail who live within the region and the humanitarian sources. Tell us that this is, this has gotten worse, the puter, the fighting has been going on and its only bound to get worse. And then that call of people to the ton. I dont know how theyre going to cut it out, but these people fresh out of their homes. Theyve seen the amount of, you know, impunity and a toxic out of the gate is the neighbors. The must like of people, particularly in small towns like my country, where hundreds of people were beheaded with knives and machetes. So its highly unlikely that those people of the trucking all the way to sudan would be able to return soon as the government is putting it. At the uns acting, libya envoy has told Security Council members. Peace could be on the horizon and comes after arrival, science, medicine, china, sea and asked week to mattick, has that changed . Looks at the many challenges that libyans face off to a decade to form. Thank you. This is the 1st Security Council meeting since developments in libya that the u. N. Say may be a breakthrough. A fragile cease fire is now in place. And the talks in tunis, weve seen the beginnings of a peace deal, the supposed to lead to elections in about 2 years time. I am optimistic about the way forward in libya, yet clear about the many challenges that lie ahead 10 years of war. It cannot be solved one week of political talks that we hear more now the language of peace rather than the language of war. For the sake of libya, 75 libyans came together in tunis last week in a good faith effort to start the process of healing their nations. But do a search from the well respected International Crisis group whose follow developments in libya during its last decade of conflict. So as the very many challenges ahead should not be underestimated. Heightened by the fact that now were not seeing open conflict, not entirely optimistic that weve seen the end. This may devastating destruction or self destruction of the country by the hands of the libyans themselves. Its too early to say that whether the country will come out of this Enormous Economic recession that it has suffered, whether theyll be able to go beyond. The ideological divides that still cut through the country. The problems are among the libyans. Theres been no agreement on the new Prime Minister or unified Presidency Council as proposed by the u. N. The country remains divided. The Prime Minister in tripoli fires all saw raj has indicated hes prepared to stand down. And ben garcia, general Khalifa Haftar has made no such pledge and theres the big issue of foreign involvement under the seat prior deal. The Libyan Forces were supposed to leave the country, but early next year. If you are hopeful that will be achieved under the deal thats been done, the un is supposed to provide more letters to be deployed in libya to observe the cease fire that will need a u. N. Security Council Agreement negotiations. A lot of the difficult one member of the council, a permanent member, russia, has nationals in libya, working for wagner. What many consider a mercenary company thats been fighting on the side of general haftar, james out 0 at the united nations. E. U. Leaders locked in a budget standoff, pursing a multibillion dollar Coronavirus Relief package in jeopardy crisis talks are taking place at a Virtual Summit after both poland and hungary vetoed the budget. Earlier this week, officials are anxious to approve the 70 a budget to help ease economies recover from this pandemic. The trash about that is following events for us. Leaders have been hoping to finalize this budget really and get it ready to be up and running. Its the budget for the next 7 years, including this huge coronavirus, a recovery fund, more than 800000000000. 00, but it is being held out by poland and hungary who have vetoed it at the last minute. Now the reason these 2 countries have done this is they say they do not like the fact that within this budget there is a plan for a mechanism which would allow the e. U. To withdraw any future funds from any member state. If those Member States, oh, were deemed to violated the socalled rule of law. Now what the rule of law is basically the use values and democratic principles. And over the past few years, the right wing governments in both opponents and hungry have been repeatedly criticized by the e. U. Who said the, those countries, governments are violating the rule of law. Theyre violating things like freedom of the press, freedom of the judiciary womens rights. And therefore poland and hungary are worried, of course, that theyre going to have funds withheld from them. They say this is simply unfair because they use acting against other Member States because of political and ideological differences. So they want that mechanism withdrawn. The problem is it is holding up this huge coronavirus budget, which is absolutely essential right now for more than 100000. People have now died from the current virus in mexico and the 4th country. And the answer officially surpassed that death toll and Health Officials actually believe the true figure is much higher. And we can go, it also recorded its one millionth confirmed case human Rights Groups say more medical workers have died of covert 1000 in mexico.

And that gary, good admits working as a nurse in manila feels like a struggle for survival. For more than 10 years. Hes earned around 400. 00 a month and this is barely enough to support his family. Gary has been accepted to work as a nurse in ireland for 6000. 00 a month, a salary that is unimaginable to earn here. The Philippine Government in april barred nurses and other medical workers from leaving saying they were needed to fight the growing a virus crisis, told me working abroad is not make us any less of a patriotic citizen of this country. For me, it is actually a heroic act. We are just human and we also have this goals in over lives. The salary here is not to sustain the needs of our families. Gary is among the thousands of filipino nurses who have called themselves prison nurses. They started an Online Campaign to petition the government to reverse its decision. They say it is tantamount to forced servitude. Filipino nurses are some of the most sought after Health Workers in the world. But this type, this a global study shows that nurses in the philippines receive one of the lowest salaries in southeast asia. The pandemic has highlighted the plight of nurses in the country. And i mean nurses, theres no a number for a nurse to 200 patients. If the government wants to really improve the situation here, they need 200000 suppliers in government hospitals. Some are nurses who now work in Different Industries like cost centers because these jobs simply be better. Nurses are calling for the chapel band to be removed and for salaries of all nurses in the country to be raised. But the Philippine Government is defending its decision. It says about 75 percent of cities and towns across the could. She lack care workers and it needs to keep the current pool of Health Workers. Here during a pandemic Health Workers, teles, no one wants to leave their home country. If there are fair opportunities for all. And most of them had to borrow money or sell their land in order to afford to go abroad. Now deep in debt, they see the government stance is denying them the opportunity to have a better life. Dugan aljazeera, manila, and politicians in japan have are said to declare a climate. Imagine say, warning that the wild faces a crisis. They hope the symbolic declaration will increase pressure for action to combat Global Warming and send a message that japan is serious about their campaign.

I as it came ashore and south and Central America as the strongest atlantic hurricane of the year, killing more than 30 people. And next year brian the overcome with emotion. These families are being reunited after hurricane iosa ripped through their homes in colombia. The desperation of seeing their neighborhoods destroyed the fear of losing their loved ones and the relief of survival. A too much your words, because i cant explain. It is the worst thing a human can experience. Now there are people on the streets sleeping on the streets. Theres been a lifted from the island of providence ear, and this is what theyve left behind. The military has been called in to help with the cleanup, and what will be a long road to recovery know that the reconstruction challenge is going to be enormous. Juge the total destruction of a lot of the infrastructure. The important thing is that in the 1st 100. 00 days of intervention, we will have humanitarian assistance and will be able to help the most affected families. The storm unleashed winds of around 250 kilometers an hour and record rainfall, swelling rivers, and triggering mudslides across central and south america. Rooftops dots the sea of muddy water in honduras, we tains of thousands were forced to flee to shelters. And i feel im going to go with thankful to god, thankful to those who arrived and help the children above all else. The atlantic has seen a record storm season this year.
