Commuting and lunch breaks in the u. S. City of minneapolis, apparently backtracks on its pledge to Defund Police in the wake of killing by throwing more money at the force instead theyre you watching us international. Thanks for joining us. Lets start this hour in the United States where the 2020 president ial election is still far from over counting and recounting drags on in a number of states nearly 2 weeks after the vote, the trump administrations adamant the president will secure a 2nd term my own view or looking at this election that we, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception that were moving forward here at the white house. Knew sumption that there will be a 2nd term Media Outlets have called the election for joe biden. But donald trump has yet to concede victory, and hes claiming that the election was fraudulent. His team of lawyers, legal challenges in several states and demanded recounts one of which in fact is already underway in georgia with a race thats too close to call. Some republicans, though a raising concern, saying its not being independently verified. The hand tally of the 2020 president ial race in georgias 159 counties is under way the largest manual retaliate in the countrys history and hand count stems from an audit required by state law. According to the law, one race must be audited by hand to ensure voting. Machines are counting ballots accurately. That began at 9 am friday and is expected to be complete by 11, 59 pm, wednesday. Officials in nevada working to finish counting votes in clark county. Although we still have work to do, the staff will be fully engaged friday, saturday, and sunday with reconciling all of the records that we have in place for all the votes that were cast in clark county. And now the Republican Party there result has filed a lawsuit looking for a recount of votes in maricopa county, in a separate lawsuit. The arizona g. O. P. Came together with the Republican National committee and the trump campaign. Litigation is looking to block sort of a cation of the States Election until affected ballots can be looked over by hand from supporters. Continuing their stop, the still rallies. Thursday, demonstrators gathering in richmond, virginia. There was an even hour. I know what for all voters are quite right that he was there for the president to lead the world outdoors or michigan, and were about to overturn wisconsin. Were about to overturn thats over, you know, were going to find out really where the only reason there is still counting. George, there are in arizona and nevada. The biggest problem still in that we the u. S. Postal Service Whistleblower who shared information about backdating ballots in pennsylvania with project there are toss was questioned by u. S. P. S. Investigators. Richard hopkins says he stands by his initial claims to say that i did not repair my state. After tweeting about the dominion voting machines, deleting votes, President Trump tweeting friday morning that 2020 was a rigged election where 14 for the news with rick sanchez and fascist suite are state officials and independent observers have all said there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election and a lot of the trump administration, u. S. Election officials called the 2020 vote the most secure in american history. But a recent poll on the less indicates widespread concern among voters mail in voting could lead to fraud. Our panel of guests discuss the issue. Some Bureaucratic Agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. Thats fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. And if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. Weve had other elections where there either was allegations of fraud or enough questions of fraud that they changed the election. So lets get to the bottom of it. Lets see what happens. Georgia has a republican governor, a republican cheap elections officer, 2 republican president s, Republican Senate governor. Its all republicans involved in this vote count. So youre telling me that republicans coronated it was fired against the president of the United States to create this, this loss that obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state. President obama is lecturing the American People on concession when Hillary Clinton and the democrats in Congress Never conceded the present. Trump, they never stop digging into him. But look out, all im saying is dont accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. Then we should, the question is whether democrats would accept the results if we get to the point where we find big fraud. Bottom line is it doesnt matter whos counting, it doesnt matter what litigation you have by law, by statute you cannot do is beyond december 8th. Zimmer, 14 is a day when the Electoral College has to be and so those are 2 days im looking for. If anyone tries to violate those dates, now youre in a constitutional crisis, and now you are impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january republican, supporting terms for the allegations of putting democracy on a dangerous path. Thats according to former u. S. President barack obama, but the u. S. Election system has actually been questioned for decades. And who can stakes a closer look at the history of alleged thruout in u. S. Elections. Theres a common theme in the media when it comes to the possibility of irregularities in the u. S. President ial election. Its a ludicrous claim that there chris, every vote counts, but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser concedes that is what happens in this country. Described as unfounded ludicrous and baseless allegations made by President Trump by his campaign team, remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. But such controversies are nothing new. Ask former president barack obama. I come from chicago. So are, are. So i want to be honest, its not, is there, its just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes democrats have to and heres jerry nadler, another democrat on the current chairman of the house judiciary committee. In my experience in new york paper ballots are extremely susceptible to freud. Your paper with no machines, i can show you, i can show you experience, which would make your head spin, wasnt alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process on key swing states, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters, and the d. N. C. Chairman agreed. Im not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial Voter Suppression and the machines were not reliable. It should not be a surprise that the republicans were willing to do things that an ethical to manipulate elections. Thats what we suspect has happened. And wed like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on. Former us president jimmy carter cochair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of forward coercion. Hes since backtracked on that plane, but remains scathing about elections in the United States. The american political system wouldnt measure up to any sort of International Standards for several reasons. Lack of Central Election Commission capable of issuing uniform rules, lack of equal access to the media for all viable candidates. And the inability to conduct recounts the election process in america has of course, come a long way. In the 19th century voting was controlled by gangs who would broadly bore, coerce voters. It looked Something Like this. Im all for it, my boy to form an alliance with you against bill cutting and is slated later this candidates. Im and some people, every irish vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. Things became less violent and more nuanced in the 20th century. Lyndon johnson ended up winning a primary. He was losing in texas by just 87 votes. All thanks to the last minute appearance of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. This pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. It was scandal at the time, but an admission took years to emerge. Johnson did not win that election. It was students for him, and i know exactly how it was done. The 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. Results in the deciding state will close with the Supremes Court giving bush the nod. But the result could have been a very different thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. Bushs brother also happens to be the states governor. No Major Law Firm in florida worked for al gore, even democratic, even democratic oriented law firms. Because everyone was afraid of haggard eyes in the bush family and the governor and losing important state business in this election cycle could perhaps be summed up best by joe biden himself, we have put together. I think the most extensive and Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization in the history of american politics. Of course, this was just an ironic slip of the tongue biden was really talking about the democrats Voter Protection program. For many though, the issue with the president ial election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trumps claims are all true or not. Against the backdrop of election controversies spanning decades, its the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. Former special adviser to barack obama discussed what joe bidens Forum Posting my look like. This was on the latest edition of going on the ground. Do you think its a mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue, as someone who broke in a fundamental way with american traditions. Because trumps isolationism, his unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those actually buttes have very strong roots in american history. Going back to the founders, going back to the late 17 hundreds. And in some ways, i think trump has demonstrated himself to be a very acute politician. Because hes been able to tap in to that different narrative that different version of american, except exceptionalism, america, as the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world, not a country that goes out to change the world. And so right now, i think as biden prepares to take office, we do see the country going through a searching debate about the nature of its role moving forward. And my own view is its time for the country to find the middle ground between where it was in the pre pearl harbor era, which was doing too little and running away from the world where it has been more recently, which is drawing, trying to do too much particularly in the middle east, to find that stable middle ground to step back, but not to step away from one of the biggest global changes supported by the president make his a shift to working from home. Millions of people will want to stay away from the office and research is a job. His biggest bank is saying that those people should be taxed for the privilege working from home will be part of the new normal when after the pandemic is passed, we argue that Remote Workers should pay a tax for the privilege our calculations suggest the amounts raised could Fund Material income subsidies for low income earners who are unable to work remotely, and thus assume more old economy and health risks. The bank team is suggesting an additional 5 percent levy for remote stuff. They argue its roughly equivalent to what people save on transportation and food, adding the money could be redistributed to those who cant work online, many of whom are Blue Collar Workers on lower incomes. The researchers estimate such a scheme would raise around 48000000000. 00 in tax revenue, if used in the u. S. 9000000000. 00 in the u. K. 19000000000. 00 in germany. But most surveys this year have shown positive attitudes to the idea of home based work. A poll in the us found a hefty 72 percent of socalled knowledge. Workers want a combination of remote and office space duties. Only 12 percent would prefer to work only from the office. Journalist Charlie Boyle geopolitical analyst rana wrote 1st, gave us their views on the idea of a new work from home tax. Major cuts for people is really excellent, is getting to work and that is now trying to get some 30 year and a lot of cases that automatically remove the significant costs associated with getting too strong. I think this needs to be proven 1st. The people who are working from home at the long run will save money. You need a fully equipped office, you need hardware, you need more space, which you need to rent or to buy. If people stay at home, work from home, the turnover is reduced for many other businesses and this hurts the overall economy. But this is not going to be resolved in the next couple months because the super slow downs over everyones getting charged, going back to work. You dont rest and governments have really increased their debts quite considerably. So if the tax, if theres extra tax for people who can work for from home is supposed to be Something Like a compensation for these losses and for these debts. I think its a totally misconceived strategy. Its no time to even implement even its leaders political will and our c. S. Order and secure the 1st 3 months of next year. Once it actually gets rolled out and well have the conversation. And its clear that what we need is to foster Economic Growth and activity. And this can never be done through a tax case and will brief in our stone throwing protesters have been met with water cannon in the capital of chile. They took to the streets, demanding the release of people who were arrested at rallies against the president. Period of the caricature of the prophet mohammed is not relenting in bangladesh. People they gathered outside the french embassy, calling for a boycott on french products. Here we think refugees at the sudanese border, theyre fleeing the military conflict in northern ethiopia. The United Nations says 15000. People currently live in the camp so that fishermen in france, avoiding jobs, will go a marine. Life will be damaged beyond repair. If plans to build a new wind fall in brittany, go ahead. Story coming up on election night, you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. So there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes and it doesnt matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and thats where we are today. Joe bidens margin is so large, you know, all of the states that are being contested, that even though some of the states have not finished county, they still dont know who won. And joe biden won. Majority of the Electoral College votes. Joining me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and ill be speaking to a guest of the world of politics. Sports this im show business, ill see you then back with soaring criminality. The u. S. City of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for the police department. The force will get an extra half a 1000000. 00. It will be used to recruit more officers. The funding boost comes despite an earlier pledge by the city council to dismantle that department. Coming in the wake of the killing of a blank man at the hands of local offices, the death of george floyd sparked months of nationwide protests. Homicides in minneapolis have doubled since last year with nearly 75 killings reported in 2020. The number of shootings has reached the decade. High, 500 people shot this year was a Violent Crimes hitting a record high over 4600. 00 incidents reported to authorities. Some 100. 00 officers have left the Minneapolis Police force since the start of the year leading to an understaffing problem. Our resources are hemorrhaging, our city is bleeding at this moment. Im trying to do all i can to stop the bleeding. And im starting that having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force me to even issued if we can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city. But smith, the spokesperson for the u. S. National police association, says that defunding Law Enforcement would leave citizens, unprotected crime, started to skyrocket. Violent crime is out of control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. And so this, this notion of defunding, the Police Actually hurt not just the police, but its actually harming the citizens. What were also seeing is the more resources you take away from Police Officers, the Less Community policing there are. And the more Police Officers get hurt. People are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. Yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. Most people in the United States recover quickly for i from covert. You dont recover from being murdered in order to keep the citizen safe. Theyre going to have to learn how to live with Police Officers. The Minneapolis Police department is one of the most Progressive Police departments in the United States to use in the u. K. Now, as scientists are pleading with the government to keep tough, phantom endemic rules in place after low down very slow downs are currently in situ. In england, scotland and northern ireland.

Delhi infections have surpassed 27000. 00 people downing street is confident that it will be able to roll out a us kovi defying scene in december. Though the pfizer drug still has to get final approval. Another thing that there will be logistical challenges. We have to convince people to the chair, maybe about 40 to 50 pushing people at the moment still have a bit of has a chance in having this job. And its going to be a big logistical challenges because as we know, it has to be kept at minus 70 degrees and it depicts a blooming, if all goes as good as it can and then probably will be blue to start the vaccination program. Maybe middle of december, but it is going to be a big challenge. G. P. Surgeries themselves with new social distancing guidelines. Just dont have the capacity to be bringing thousands of people in, in a safe manner. And the best that is used around finding the right values and the funding related to that. And finally, we are still being expected to undergo retain, walk and a lot of bureaucracy which in its in primary care. And this just isnt going to be a nickel alongside and you know, rollout program finally this, our fishermen are opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in western front, claiming that it will endanger sea life and also their livelihoods. President mccrone has long been pushing for Renewable Energy projects on the shallot devinsky picks up the story. Fishing is a way of life pay off the coast of brittany every morning fishermen head off to sea in the hope of catching their bedroom. But theyre now not alone. A Renewable Energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this areas natural resources. The strong winds in tights here make the coast around the area which is near song creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62 turbines are planned with the site expected to be operational in the next 3 years, but fishermen are determined to sink the project. Our leaders have been clear if they dont get answers to their questions, they say there cannot be a wind farm. That is a certainty, like our committers president. He says he would rather die standing and find this project than let it happen. The fisherman cannot lead this baby developed. The wind farm is important. Politically, french president not growing, has attempted to portray himself as being an environmental champion. Now he hopes that wind power could generate almost a 5th of frances electricity by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. Yet one Campaign Group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. Congress has one long to put it when you install a wind farm in a protected zone. The environmental damage is close, so it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. The government has tried to offer compensation, but it can compensate damage to the sea. There is no compensation for loss of sea life. We also have the biggest natural reserve in brittany because we are in the migration corridor for birds. And there is no compensation for the destruction of birds. The wind from project is said to be exacerbating of tensions too, just the other side of where it plans. Its the oil of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. Its no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is covered in french, french nets, french he says thats because french fishermen have been pushed off their own waters because of the wind farm. Those vessels which are now turning up and increasing if it to it in jerseys water is to an extent that our system and can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of air and water. So that it is causing just on a set of levels of hardship such as a fisherman is caught, its creating conflict between the fishermen and french fisherman and certainly creating unsustainable what has created unsustainable levels of Fishing Effort in that water. The Company Responsible for the construction of the wind from says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. This a project is one plan to front, moving toward 3 nubile energy sources. But locals, hey, are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell.

They are tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess, to crimes. They didnt commit. I dont even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior. Once a false confession is taken, the case is closed. Nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession. And one that isnt world is driven by shaped by the dares thinks we dare to ask l. Look forward to talking to you all. That technology should work for people.
