Outcome is unclear we havent seen on rest we havent seen riots and i think thats a good thing so i think as the days inch on that goes right those the potential for riots and unrest becomes less and less at least here in washington good talking to you thank you for joining us and rachel risen from the Truman National security project thank you well many of our present trumps tweets since election day have been flagged by tweets a full containing disputed or misleading content so lets take a look at his latest post it contains a headline from the far right media outlet breitbart alleging vote counting chaos in closely contested states and michigan the breitbart hospital says the Trump Campaign has been denied proper access to the counting process in the city of detroit so lets take a closer look at these claims with that d. W. Fact check and i dont have a welcome your show what have you found out. Well team debunked this story and breitbart reported on poll workers in detroit covering windows as onlookers outside try to watch as ballots were being counted and obviously trying to get into the polling station the police then did push back crowds who had begun pounding on the doras and windows and yelling stop the count which might have been influenced by the President Trump who earlier said that all voting should be stopped however what the breitbart article didnt mention was the fact that the election official said the people could not enter the room due to a capacity concerns the allowed number of people in this room was exceeded and there were democratic and republican poll watchers beside media and lawyers all there ready in that room so according to present lawyers the tensions in their began when republican poll watchers had intimidated pull workers by taking off their masks getting too close to the workers or begin even verbal be aggressive to be to them they try to tell workers to stop counting so this was a serious problem for the workers the claims of the republicans being excluded were without reason in my opinion ok so other members of the tribe campaign casting doubt on the results of this election lets listen to mr trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani talking about postal votes in the state of pennsylvania not a single republican has been able to look at any one of these mail ballots they could be from mars as far as were concerned or they could be from the Democratic National committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know a 5000 times the ballots could be from camden philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud. Where your survey about any substance to that cascade of claims. Well the former mayor of new york an associate attorney general should know better male voters cannot vote. 50 or 5000. 00 times like you said not joe biden or anybody else to vote by mail you have to be a regis to vote and you have one vote according to several studies fraud is rare in the us elections a Data Collection by the loyal us school of law only lists at 45 incidents of voter fraud in the last 20 years so that is not much and that in relation to more than 1000000000 barrels cost the head of the study confirm to d. W. Fact checkers but Rudy Giuliani insisted that mail in ballots in pennsylvania could be from everywhere from mars from even doubt people voting he doesnt deliver any evidence for this we have to say and an independent election observers didnt find cases like this so far giuliani calls a local judge later a political hack because his party was unable to get closer than 20 feet to the ballots he claimed and it was impossible to observe the election by the republicans we couldnt verify that but we have no reports of big fraud in philadelphia like giuliani ses and he is the one who has been sent by donald trump to challenge the Election Results in pennsylvania so if you ask me his statement has to be seen in this context as the trump side prepares a legal fight in several battleground states now right glad i did ask you in that case lets have a look at the democratic candidate joe biden he made an address in wilmington and was optimistic about his chances only 3 president ial campaigns in the past have defeated an incumbent president when its finished god really will be the 4th well what do you think your show is that true. You know its not in the history of the United States 10 incumbent president s have been defeated at the polls when seeking a 2nd term of their presidency chand president s last in president ial elections and 2 more in National Conventions of their parties so the 1st one was john adams who was defeated by Thomas Jefferson back in 1900 already and the last one was george bush sr who lost against sort of bill clinton in 1902 so if biden wins he will be at number 11 and not 4 of this ranking you to be fact checker yasha vapor thank you so much away from the election the United States has registered almost 100002 cover 19 cases in 24 hours that send you back home infections have been surging in the midwest currently hardest hit hospitals are in the growing pressure north dakota has only 6 unoccupied intensive care beds 230000 americans have died after catching fires. Professor Peter Chin Hong is an Infectious Disease expert at the university of california San Francisco he told the view that the election its known socially distance rallies may have worsened the crisis in the u. S. Wouldnt mind dated in voting facilities in the United States during the season in fact even if your state has a mosque mandate the federal law didnt permit or didnt mind it or in force massacring at the sites im also considering that the activities around election time the buses of supporters particularly for President Trump not Wearing Masks theyre in an enclosed space theyre writing up and these all promote potential super spreading Events People are not writing mass in these rallies theyre huddled close together as shouting screaming theres a lot of emotions and these are the states where theres a lot of coronavirus happening right now so you know pretest probability of getting an infection in these communities is actually higher theres a piece that you know lets take a look at some of the other developments in this pandemic will stuff in germany which has set a new record for infections with almost 20000 positive cases but just today in the last day the 2nd nationwide lockdown has come into effect in england bringing strict restrictions on social contacts and the closure of nonessential businesses for 4 weeks greece is to be a 3 week lockdown from saturday and denmark is to call all of its 15000000 farmed minks.

In the woods and under tents these asian migrants face a cold winter along with an uncertain future. Plus on election week we take a closer look at one major worry in east asia as north korea continues to flex its military muscle we ask if the country will pose a threat for americas next president. Im melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us more than a 1000 migrants from pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan during westward across the continent for better opportunities has ended up in the town of the lead in bosnia border in croatia its an entry point into the European Union and it has become a. For these travelers and many of them do not have adequate shelter he has this report. From far away the woods on the outskirts of bosnias barely look peaceful. But beneath the foliage a crisis is unfolding here hundreds of south asian refugees and migrants spend their nights in shacks made of plastic sheets. And then yes we are staying here in the cold at the time of the coronavirus pandemic lileks food and other basic needs to survive here the e. U. Should help us to get your nobody refugees living in the improvised jungle camp fear a harsh winter already the temperature is less than 2 degrees celsius in the mornings the migrants used twins to make a fire and stay warm but there will be snow fall soon and the cold will make living in the huts impossible. Gambit dog a good book they dont let us stay in the i. O. M. Is migrant camp nearby if they manage to enter somehow they check at midnight and send us out even if its raining of hold out or dont have because. The migrant shelter known as made our camp is run by the International Organization for migration or i. O. M. And is only a few 100 meters away from the forest. Migrants there have better facilities including proper beds to sleep in and regular mealtimes. But the camp can only accommodate a limited number of refugees. Because of going to these 703 we are already in full with the capacity but also outside of the candidate is not the socalled wild can improvise camp where around 800 people are. The survivors over there that they dont have access to food to medical treatment or medical care you know osha to. Until that sleeping bags blankets to use it or leave it out were going to be i really am wants to open another camp in the area to accommodate refugees living in the woods but locals reject the idea they often protest in front of the Movement Camp demanding that it be closed journalists have been barred from covering the protest was a b. Movie we dont want any more migrants and. We want this to be moved away from our town because it has crossed all limits our streets are full of migrants now it sickens. When it began. Meanwhile more and more refugees are trying to cross the border between bosnia and croatia in an attempt to reach their ultimate destination the European Union even though they are often stopped at the border and pushed back they hope to make it across one day. Joining us is data is a lot of the report behind this story are a photo do we know what usually ends up happening to these migrants at this town do they eventually make their way into the e. U. No he said migrants are trying to get a. Scamp in for. The winter season some of them not even considering going through da the same set on by the u. N. Organization in bosnia where they are they still thomas spaces left however most of them are they still trying to cross the border between bosnia and croatia European Union i met some migrants who have to cross the border 215 times but fate some of them already even beaten brutally by the Border Police and to go out in shoot very badly but they havent given up hope die Asylum Seeker studies still trying to cross the border out of going about this the chance and some human traffickers and assorted dangerous journey to the you in exchange off to 4000 euros from. Their often taken to the border as yeah in groups by boss of god theyre there to cross the border by walking through forests that migrants only successfully make that with 2 countries like italy or france and even 2 really if you off them manage to get to the you whats your sense of the expectations the migrants had versus the reality of what they found themselves facing i mean did you sense that they regretted their decision to travel. Some of them told us that they were not. Difficult because of the route and it was a wrong decision off of believing human traffickers who lured bam into taking this challenging johnny off reaching the you that cost each of them 18000. 00 euros and monts as they had to go on trees including eat on. God he and agrees they could have done Something Else in their homeland this and wont and time so my cancer do declared their decision to. Be so it and as a result of their regret did you get a sense that there were people who plan to actually just go back home. Well i dont program 4050 and migrants who want to return to their own countries however they dont want to return mainly because the money they have all it is spent on the journey was taken as long as from fidel sources. You dont know there might not be able to bear the loans which would make their life even more complicated than now but. Somehow gives them hope that one day they might be able to read to you. Thank you. Almost 4 years ago in outgoing president barack obama warned incoming President Donald Trump that his biggest Foreign Policy challenge would be managing north korea where things stand well there has been no war and no detonation of a nuclear bomb but pyongyang continues to flex its muscle most recently with a military parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Workers Party a spectacle including new long range ballistic missiles. Joining us from seoul is Kelly Casillas managing editor of n. K. News dot org kelly whats your report card on how President Trump has handled north korea do you think the region is more or less dangerous now than 4 years ago. You know thats a really hard question to answer i think as you know the beginning of 2017 for and sense things were starting to look pretty scary on the Korean Peninsula granted a lot of those tensions were ramped up by president himself you know his term has been extremely unconventional in terms of how the United States has dealt with north korea and there are people that really support summitry that hes done with north Korean Leader kim jong un and 202019 and there are people who say that he should have never met with the north Korean Leader without some kind of preconditions in the 1st place but now we know were a little over a year or so. Chop met with kim jong un and february 29th i know i saw you walked out of that meeting and the chip entrees have not really made any meaningful progress since so i would say its pretty hard to assess trounce progress but near the latter half of his term it hasnt been so great what our next steps youd like to see from the u. S. Government when it comes to dealing with pyongyang on the nuclear issue. You know i think no matter who gets elected in the coming days or weeks the next president of the United States really needs to have a clear plan and path forward with north korea ive been speaking with a number of experts and so has the rest of our journalist safa and again you know this and we hear everything from you know the United States should consider some kind of preconditions before meeting with chemical they should spell out step by step verifiable denuclearization and more specifically so north korea knows what it has to be working well and there are people that also argue that at this point with everything that north korea has done in terms of concessions to the United States the u. S. Should at least consider a partial lifting of economic sanctions against the country im quite frankly what ive been hearing again again in washington and in seoul is that the United States is working on negotiations but theyre not willing to give much up on their end of the negotiation so from what im hearing it seems like the next president or a chunk gets another 4 years should really consider the real give and take process if were going to work towards getting north korea to dismantle its nuclear facilities. Thank you many of us used to have stuffed toys when we were small kids and sometimes these cuddly animals happen to accompany their owners for many years even into their adulthood but what do we do if these beloved toys start to fall apart if youre in japan you can now bring them to a special 20 clinic. Yuki the sheep is not in good shape 18 years have passed since she met her owner cuttle her skin has become tattered and she needs a specialized treatment thats when a toy clinic like this one in tokyo comes into play. I have always slept with you could chant at home so i would really feel as if i had lost all my memories if she were to disappear i would feel lonely. Needs to be reconstituted from scratch. Getting a good bath is just the very 1st step. The shop owner started this business 4 years ago after she discovered that many of her customers at a cloth alteration shop were deeply attached to their cuddly toys me all cause of that i had clients who care for their stuff toys like family i wanted to treat each of the toys with good care so that they can be with the family for a long time because this. The repair costs around 800. 00 euros. But kuto. Says the high price is worth it. I know what all it is a move book but a part of the memory is still in her for me shes just the same baby that i met 18 years ago. With treatments like this the clinic hasnt just restored the toys form but also memories which have made the toys so special and irreplaceable.

The 2nd wave is crashing over europe and intensive Care Capacity is close to breaking point. Germany could hit its limit next month france and switzerland might crack by midmonth. Belgium could overrun capacity this week or next. What seemed like huge investments to expand Hospital Capacity now look totally inadequate. Warning bells should have been running in early july after the spring lock downs were east but only a few recognised the vibrations that heralded a tsunami of new cases. The experts warned us and for many countries the 2nd wave is already more savage than the 1st Health Systems are running at a limit in parts of eastern and western europe in belgium doctors and nurses a struggling to keep up the incidence of coronavirus cases there is the highest in europe at 3009. In 56. 00 per 100000 people. This used to be the Recovery Room for patients who had surgery now it serves as a makeshift intensive care unit for covert benteen patients on life support hospitals of the belgian province of lea is are now the epicenter of europes 2nd wave and struggling to keep up we are not about to admit one new patient any more so if a patient comes in the emergency room with a 3 we often run through. The finish both of them will be able to afford to devote tells us his team is not only short of beds but also personnel one in 5 nurses in the region have tested positive for the virus themselves but the pressure is so high that those who dont have symptoms continue to work under strict safety precautions doctors and nurses here are working tirelessly to take care of covert 900 patients some of them are even infected themselves but despite all efforts the Health Care System here in belgium has reached its breaking point as the overall number of infections continues to rise the actual number of infections is likely to be higher than the official figures across town at least as University Hospital testing his own going. I cant smell or taste any more and i have a headache. After the medics here can conduct 280 tests every day but these tests are strictly for those who have a doctors prescription family members friends or coworkers who have been in close contact with them but dont show any symptoms cannot get a test for them or as the moment we have so many positive cases the problem is there are far too many contacts persons given the huge number of people who have symptoms wed be unable to test them as well as all the people theyve been in contact with at least not with the amount of tests we have currently if we had more tests we probably could back in the covert ward doctor duvall fears still lacks handling of the crisis and summer will put him and his colleagues in a very difficult position very soon when you have only one bet and 10 people out of a bit you have to choose between the team that which one you were. No doctor want to do thats one thing its like you know we all know book those who do that kind of thing we all looked up to treat patients with which patient treating germany has started to take patients from belgian hospitals with infections expected to continue to rise here in the coming weeks medical staff already at their limit will need all the help they can get. So you want to is with st Josephs Hospital in hardest time what sort of capacity does germany have to take on patients from other countries right now. Well we havent ever its nearly twice as much as you bet spec up to tat and the rest of europe. And caribbean germany are on 75 percent of the german i see you bet. So there is still a place room to move and we could take patients especially in. Regions in germany from other European Countries but they are regions also in germany where the free capacity is below 10 percent and intensive care patients have to be moved to other hospitals and that binds intensive care physicians which is a very scots resource so when you think of besa tease you have to keep in mind that the peak i. C. U. Utilization we 2 weeks after infections have peaks and there they havent yet so theres still a marathon to go with when could they be well nobody knows. It depends on how good the people. Bind themselves to the things. To stop being close together and to wear masks and stuff like that we have a new high. Value today in germany too with 20000 new infections this day how practical is that flying around coated patients from one hospital or country to the next. Its not very practical especially when they dont anticipate it so you have to plan that in advance and try to bring patients who are not thats that severe ill who havent been on ventilation yet so its not easy to plan that because patients we know that its not good for patients being ventilated and they have to be brought on in the long term the stuff shortages we hear about in belgium and the netherlands theyve seen noting homes and hospitals aust doctors and nurses to keep working if they tested positive but a symptom matic is that safe i think that should only be done in worst Case Scenario because the my r. T. Of i. C. U. Patients still do not have called it but other serious diseases and when these patients contract the guy iris from tech that stat ai grave dangers so you have to keep in mind s. Of to magic people that doesnt mean they are healthy so we think we should prevent this and our staff has to say l. C. And get a quick l. C. And this is very important because if you have to let these people work with the virus its really not sick why then is the e. U. No coordinating concerted a joint approach where we see countries helping out each other but not everything having to be dealt with on a bilateral level well we could have that done that. Methods lets say with the corona happy we could have done that from the beginning all together. We didnt do that i dont know why would have been better i think so yes how foreseeable was all of this. The 2nd wave was clearly foreseeable people travel they socialized they enjoyed themselves and the sun and we have tried to do as much as we could by building and buying respirators by training people but especially i. C. U. Nurses. In all in all in europe a scarce resource and it takes 2 years training on top of the regular nurses training so kind of we have to work with what weve got and we have now in germany especially we have its very important to take away paperwork from them so that they we need can spend all that time. With the patients and the other thing we could do is child care you know to improve child care and hospitals so especially during off hours what about high risk groups what else can be done to protect them so that they dont end up in intensive care in the hospitals. Its you have to reduce a little context use of f. P. To must possibly end it jan tests possibly but these measures make only sense when used together one is no substitute for the other and when you when we are talking about isolating risk groups we have to be an mind that. That in germany. The number only for germany at around 20 percent due to the demographics and due to the illnesses of our population belong to a risk group so targeting only risk groups with a color on astro city will not work so sunny on a pleasure having you on the show today thank you very much thank you have a good day.
