They have massive fraud and vote buying after the only Political Parties to win big are those with close ties to the president. A lot to come. This is live from paris. Thank you very much for being with us. Donald trump has expected to address the nation very shortly, were standing by for that, the First National speech since his covid19 illness and subsequent treatment and were waiting developments on that, this is, something that was prerecorded after he left the Military Hospital in maryland yesterday. There has been unexpected move this tuesday, trump who has the coronavirus has halted talks on Coronavirus Relief until the election november 3. Last week he said he was backing the full pandemic job benefits and the possibility of a covid relief bill of 1. 6 trillion, but now apparently trump has instructed negotiators to call all that to a halt. Many people depend on that relief to feed their families and Many Americans rightow are turning to food banks doing just that. Lets bring in our correspondent in washington observing all matters for us. A good evening to you. Ne explain just what trump is trying to call a halt to . Although there have been negotiations for weeks now between the democrats in the house and the Senate Republicans to try to come up with that much needed relief bill that americans are waiting for because the Economic Situation here is still very dire. So last week, you have the House Democrats passing a 2. 2 trillion relief package and nancy pelosi was still in negotiating with both the Senate Republicans and the white house especially steve nmushin, the secretary of the treasury. Some progress was being made but not fast enough apartment and donald trump with this tweet really virtually breaking any hope of getting a possible relief bill before the election. He accused nancy pelosi of negotiating in bad faith saying she was trying to bailout poorly run high crime democratic states saying that the republicans had been doing their best, but she simply has disssed that for thin that are not at all linked to covid19, so he is putting an end to that saying that once he is reelected, he will be putting forward a much better relief bill this coming just hours after the chairman of the Federal Reserve said that more stimulus was needed to help the u. S. Economy. The situation is very bad here, the unemployment is at about 8. 4 . It is down from the peak back in april which was at around 15 , but its still very, very high compared to what it was before the coronavirus and there are millions of people without a job unable to pay their bills, their rent, their mortgages and as you said shall the food shortages, having trouble finding food and paying for food, you are seeing lines at food banks all across the nation as people are struggling to make ends meet. This is hardly the american dream. Can you explain more when these families who are finding it hard to make ends meet, unprecedented lines across the state. Yes, millions and millions of people ever since pretty much the second month of this Coronavirus Crisis here in the united states, i remember going to one of those food banks in baltimore around probably it was early april and i remember talking to these people and they were ying, you know, we see people coming to these food banks all year long, even before coronavirus, but what struck the people who work at these food banks was how fast they were going through all the food that they had in those warehouses saying that sometimes it would just disappear in two hours and they were saying that you were no longer seeing people who were homeless or people who were really at the lower end of the wages here in the u. S. , but theyre saying that they were seeing simply middle class families who have maybe both parents who have lost their jobs and this is something that is seen really across the country, all cities, all states, not just democratic states like trump mentioned in his tweet and nancy pelosi reacted to Donald Trumps move slamming him for not taking care of the American People saying, he is putting himself first at the expense of the country with the full complicity of the g. O. P. Members of congress because donald trump and his tweet not only did he put a halt to any possible relief bill, he also asked the Senate Republicans to focus on confirming his nominee for the Supreme Court of the united states, amy coney barrett. This might not be a great move with a few weeks left until the election because repeated polls show that about 74 of likely voters feel that congress should focus on the Coronavirus Relief bill, not the Supreme Court. Indeed, people and politics in the middle of things, it seems manipulate things to his own end, some say politicians do, part of their d. N. A. Thank you very much indeed for inject us, our correspondent in washington, thank you. Let bring us some other news on this same issue on the news that trump was intending to get his negotiators to stop the round of aid. Stocks fell on wall street, the s p sliding 1. 8 after trump tweeting this mandate. Well have more in business very shortly. And another issue, donald trump, of course, being treated for covid19, still positive and the democrats saying their man, joe biden has tested negative for covid covid19, this statement from democrats. Moving on, sources speaking off the record saying islamist extremists have freed a french woman and politician. Held for six months and boarded an aircraft, but for now, she was kidnapped in 2016. There is no immediate comment from the french for the mali governments. France 24 spoke with her son earlier at the french embassy. Honestly, i came because i dont think she would make it all the way to paris. Im trying to find her as fast as possible. Im expecting to find her sick and very weak. I hope i dont think she is able to stand, so im not under any delusions but they s that she has held on, that her mind is still all there. So whatever state she is in, i knowhe is still luc and im overjoyed get her back. Well see how it goes. The son of sophie and will be taking to journalists from the french embassy. Were watching this story, its reported that she is this is following an apparent swap of prisoners, 100 islamists were set free ahead of what is expected to be the release of two hostages. Well continue with on that coming up right now. He was kidnapped in the timbukto area of mali as event toured into an area where armed groups are known to roam. He was on the campaign trail in 2018 and gained second in president ial elections losing out to his opponent. Protests against him led to the army taking power in a coup last august. Those demonstrating also called for his release. His kidnapping was never claimed by a specific armed grp. But suspicions lie with the Jihadist Organization linked to al qaeda. Many hostages have been taken in mali since the start of unrest in 2012, but he is the first high profile politician to have been targeted. Were watching full developments on the situation regarding the hostages in mali. Next, after a night of violent protests, the electoral authorities have annulled the results of the parliamentary elections, they allege massive fraud after the only Political Parties to win big were those with close ties to the president. Moscow is waiting and expressing concern on the unrest and calling for a legal resolution. Our correspondent has this. Amid turmoil after both the Prime Minister and the speaker of parliament resigned, the move comes after the central electoral election. There were numerous reasons to legally cancel the results. There were many violations ahead of election day including bribing voters using administrative tools and voting falsifiation. Its impossible to recognize the Election Results as legitimate. Mass protests broke out in the wake of the election as opposition groups set fire to the parliament building. They also stormed government offices in the capital smashing portraits of the president after results showed that two parties with close ties to the countrys ruling elites had won the most seats in the poll. Hundreds of people were hurt in clashes with the police as they attempted to disperse the crowds with water cannons, tear gas, and flash bang grenades. Meeting in a hotel, m. P. S say they elected an opposition politician to replace the Prime Minister. The president says the country is facing a coup and has called on opposition leaders to calm their supporters. Meanwhile opposition groups have created a counc to hp set up a provisional government. Led zip lynn has a long running case over perhaps their most famous case fairway to heaven, it means we cant play the song, its so famous, youll know it, its been a sixyear long battle centered in the u. S. Supreme court rejecting the case, representatives of the late Randy California claimed that plant and page, thats jimmy and robert to their friends, ripped off the song called taurus. I listened to them both, i think they sound similar. We are joined live, good evening to you. Can you explain how the courts have decided these two songs arent actually copied. Its a sticky sort of a situation, they did say that rock and roll, all rock and roll songs were made on the four same chords, but thats another story. In this case, its about a progression of chords at the beginning, i cant sing it, but the beginning chords is a progression of chords that are not usually written on any kind of music sheet which is usually deposed by a music publisher and in general, when you have been accused of plagiarism, it has to be a sequence of more than three notes. So there have been many famous suits like, lets say, George Harrison when he wrote my sweet lord and he plagiarized, he was accused of plagiarism because he subconsciously rewrote the song he is so fine in the 1960s, he lost the case, exactly. So that was an example of a song or music being more than three notes that theyre following one another. So its a kind of sticky situation. In 1978, there were chords that everody knows of stairway to heaven it was something that jimmy page says those chords have been around forever. He was not influenced by the supposed group, spirit, i too listened to the two of them togethnk, they do sound similar. Doing a litigation on the internet, i heard another song, suer rain by larry rivers is exactly the same chord progression, so its a matter of melody against chord progression, so not notes that are sounding exactly the same, thats part of the basic melody of the song. Led zeppelin actually opened for the band spirit as various gigs around about that time before stairway to heaven was written. Do you think there was an influence there . What is your kind of gut feeling . Well, i read recently in the guardian and in the New York Times that it was something that was refuted that they said that led zpelin had not been at that concert. I dont know if thats true. But whatever happened, robert plant, if they had been there, he was in a bad car accident after that supposed concert, he lost his memory for a while and jimmy page has absolutely no recollection of the song. As i said, he seems to think and when you listen to a lot of other music and songs, this chord progression is in a number of different songs that weve been listening to since rock and roll existed. And then again, dont forget, there was robin thicke who was condemned in 2015 for plagiarism from a song that was very close to a marvin gay song, his song blurred lines was said to be the same and he lost in that. Again, it was note chord progressions, not sequence of notes. Been to the Supreme Court and its been thrown out and led zeppelin in the clear. Thank you very much for giving that explanation as to where its happened and what the differences are. Its a subtle difference, but the difference nonetheless a very important distinction. Singer and music journalist as we heard. Thank you very much indeed.
