Deaths in uganda as protests turned violent following the arrest of the president ial candidate bobby wanted. And Mexicos Senate approves a can of this legislation, bill, but it faces hurdles before those ill believe it. Now, the u. S. State of georgia has completed an order of ballots cast in the president ial election and has confirmed joe bidens victory there. And while donald trump refuses to concede the avenues to contest that results are getting slimmer, a hand recount was launched in georgia after biden had a small lead over President Trump by about 14000 votes. Officials have repeatedly denied that any irregularities had taken place with georgia. Now called biden has extended his liens and has won the presidency with 306 Electoral College votes he needed, 270. Donald trump fell short with 232 legal team has again promised to produce evidence of what it calls a massive democratic conspiracy to steal the president ial election. Though it has yet failed to do so, and 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 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 is, motive is just outrageous. What hes doing with new states reporting widespread issues. The Term Campaigns efforts to prove fraud seem doomed to fail, but it could delay final confirmation. And trumps acceptance of what seems inevitable. Alan fischer at the white house i spoke to robinson what fans, hes an assistant professor of Political Science at Howard University and he says, some academics have been referring to trumps refusal to concede as an attempt to prove this unification process is working, as it always has georgia, for example, a state which had a hand recount at the president s campaign for quest, 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, im going 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. While the Biggest Issue confronting joe biden as he takes office is the west wing coronavirus demick. The u. S. Registered more than 2200 deaths. Thats the west figure.

It might go south after that, as a 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.

Officials have accused him of violating coronavirus restrictions while campaigning for the upcoming president ial election. Where this 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 and 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. Hes been arrested several times before and often the Security Services in with bobby wine and with other prominent opposition, politicians in an attempt to quell the unrest, tried to 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 now the fight for ethiopias, northern tea grey region is moving ever closer to the areas capital, Prime Minister id be off meds says his forces are closing in on mecca.

The european government has previously denied targeting civilians, but also promised to bring back more than 30000 refugees whove fled to neighboring sudan mamadou reports from alice about 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 that you can 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 takeaway region and the humanitarian sources. Tell us that this is, this has gotten worse. The peter, 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 saddam would be able to return soon as the government is putting it millions of verses and became a will head to the polls on sunday. But activists say that because of ongoing violence, nearly a 5th of the countrys 6000000 registered voters as well. Not be able to cast their ballots even if they wanted to. But dont want to know and have family fled the village or 2 after a night attacked by gunmen. Although the family was lucky to make it to what they do go live. Many other villages did not.

Activists say about 1600 communities have been uprooted because of the attacks against civilians and burkina, faso Security Forces. Most of them, she doesnt believe its new, its a difficult situation. Its complicated and its the 1st time in our history this many people will be disenfranchised. But its the reality not because they dont want to vote, but simply because they count more than 400000. New voters could be added to the register this year because of the violence and widespread displacement. The Elections Commission has already given up on conduct in the polls and hundreds of villages across the country, back at the shelter for the delos for too much as only one wish that we ever becomes president after sundays vote will end the violence so that they can go back to build their lives. Not an impossible dream, but like millions of other victims of the violence sweeping the sahara region of west africa, the family may have to wait a bit longer to see this dream come true. With your priest colleges here, pakistans Prime Minister is in afghanistan for talks with president. Its imran khans 1st visit to the country since taking office. And that comes as peace talks between afghanistan and the taliban have stalled. Theres been war violence between Afghan Forces on the taliban, and this visit also follows donald trump announcement on tuesday that cut the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan before he leaves office. Is following this for us from the this really it comes at a very crucial time indeed, because there is a transition of power in the United States. The u. S. President did the outgoing president , had already mentioned that he wanted to troops. The pakistani Prime Minister was given a rousing welcome both sides saying that this was the historic way they are sure of ronnie staying, dad, they should be a leap of faith. Both countries should move to try to get a move destroyed imran khan also saying that it was indeed a historic development. And he said that pakistan would do whatever to Sports Reporter to their stall, peace and of iran has done an interview with while. And although did it because diplomatic norm is right and both sides support a brave face. There are serious challenger beardsley and no one knows what happened within the next to go to the Prime Minister. Had already played a crucial role in bringing the taleban and the u. S. To accept across the table from each other. And also played a role in the intra dialogue. Know what pakistan has said. All along that there has to be of one lead or in pakistan also warns that of one if down be used against any other country. Something that the taliban agreed with the United States that are deep. And people based on the elements driven out by the pakistani military, including by loot, insurgents are training on the other side. So the pakistanis really warmed some action from the government locked in a budget standoff, pushing a multibillion dollar. Coronavirus relief package in jeopardy crisis talks are now taking place at a virtual summit. Poland and hungary. Its the budget and us week officials are anxious to pave the 7 year budget to help to ease economies recover from the pandemic. More than 100000. 00, people have now died from the corona virus in mexico. Its the 4th country in the world to officially surpass that death toll and Health Officials believe that the true figure is actually much higher. Mexicos testing rate is lower and even so, we could go into recorded its 1000000 confirmed case human Rights Groups say more medical workers have died of covert 19 in mexico than in any other country. Meanwhile, Mexicos Senate has voted to legalize marijuana throughout the country. The bill now has to pass through congress, but its being seen as the fast, serious attempt to legalize kind of us and a country thats become notorious. John heilemann has been makes cars been grappling for years with how to regulate this its been illegal for decades while the war against drugs has raged. Now, a new law approved by the senate, which still has to go through congress, proposes legalizing production and consumption with quite a lot of restrictions. I dont would be able to buy up to 28 grams of pole and cultivate full plants for personal use. It could also be imported an export id with a license this grower. Now producing illegally is cool shoes. Lee optimistic if you happen to have both here. And so i decided to grow because im a consumer 1st, and i think that right now the conditions in which marijuana is produced and distributed in our country is very violent and very corrupt. And thats the key question. Legalizing marijuana, if it makes cars, cartels and gangs who currently run the business the common consensus is no kind of his production is just a small part of their portfolio which includes meth, then to new cocaine and other rackets like extortion. Have a look at this. These kind of these plants are actually being grown right in front of make scary senate by marijuana activists who are trying to raise awareness with whats going on. And they have another big question. And its this core of communities in the rural hills of mexico. They currently grow their crop for the narcos. Now get the chance to go legal. And on paper, under this law, it seems like they will because 40 percent of the licenses to grow marijuana in the 1st 5 years that legalization a reserve. But there, its, but in practice, things could work differently in the mountains. Minimal risk that if you, as a local peasant prince and say, i will only produce legally. Now i want to make a living in a listen to legal terms that you will not get away with because there is frank power off organized crime with groups in those areas. And the most likely scenario is unfortunately, that if you have a new look at your market coming into play, that they will try and probably succeed in getting their hands on the new proceeds on them, your profits the fear of marijuana activists is that the law will actually only help International Corporations get into the mix car market and so to richer urban consumers. Well elsewhere, the Street Corner business continues is normal. But in a socially conservative country, really talk of drug legalization is deeply controversial. Both senators and advocates hope this could be the start of change. John homan, zira mexico city on protesters have been gathering in colombias capital to mark one. Yeah, since massive antigovernment demonstrations. Theyre being led by unionists, students, teachers, and members of colombias indigenous communities. They want to be included in talks with the government towards social and economic reform.

Again demanding a number of social and Economic Reforms to the government and also and to Police Abuse Police brutality this coming after a very violent protest back in september. When 13 people. 13 protesters also front and Center Remains the issue of the difficulty implementation of the peace accord the standard version of what im protesting against the killing of social leaders. Because i believe this government is being irresponsible and is not responding to any of the needs of the people this protest. Year after some of the largest demonstrations colombia had seen in decades, hundreds of thousands of people came out last year to pressure the government to protect the peace accord and bring for change. Now, the organizers were hoping for this to be the beginning of a new wave of protest. Well, there was a decent crowd today. It was nothing close to what we saw a year ago. Obviously, were in the middle of it, but theres no doubt in speaking to a number of close observers in colombia, is that unless something happens in bigger crowds come out, it will be difficult for them to reach what they hope, which is to start formal negotiations with president , now one of the biggest to raise here telescopes in the wound will be dismantled after engineers found trying to repair recent damage to the 2. 00 to 305. 00 nation can cause it to collapse.
