S. Postal service is warning millions of mail in vote might not arrive in time to be counted on president ial election day is expected to be a huge rise in mail in ballots as a result of the pandemic but the service says it cant guarantee all posted votes will arrive counting on november 3rd i. D. Joe castor has more now from Silver Spring maryland. This is not the scene u. S. Public Health Officials want repeated on november 3rd when americans elect their next president amid a pandemic. But the alternative to have large numbers of people vote by mail may also be risky thats the warning the u. S. Postal service has issued to 46 states and the district of columbia. The government run agencies states must require voters to request mail in ballots at least 15 days before the election or those ballots may not be counted on time we could see a dramatic increase in the volume of mail of people returning their ballots which we would absolutely determine has to be done in a timely fashion so here ruins vote is counted historically mail in voting has turned out more democrats than republicans and polls show President Trump trailing behind his challenger for the white house joe biden thats led to allegations from democrats that trumps battle against mail in voting is for political gain theres a collapse of trust broadly in america right now in government in these institutions in the white house in congress those that are opponents of. President trump who are going to turn out at polls and are going to turn out at mail in ballots and those that support President Trump are going to support him enormously. In washington protesters accusing trump of Voter Suppression gathered outside the home of lewiston joy the former republican fundraiser appointed by trump to be u. S. Postmaster general in may their joy has removed some Mail Processing machines and cut workers hours citing the need to slash costs the post Office Inspector general is now investigating and lawmakers of both parties have voiced alarm theres no doubt that the Postal Service has the long term financial challenges. And those do need to be dealt with but now its not the time to be cutting back services. Earlier this week trump said he wanted to withhold funding from the Postal Service because he didnt want to see the money used for mail in voting now the president has backtracked saying he will agree to fund the agency but despite requesting a mail in ballot for himself trump continues to claim without evidence that mail in ballots will lead to massive voter fraud in november. Castro aljazeera maryland. Or former u. S. President barack obama said hes worried that the Trump Administration is trying to kneecap the Postal Service is tweeted everyone depends on the u. S. P. S. Seniors for their Social Security veterans for their prescriptions Small Businesses trying to keep their doors open cant be Collateral Damage for an administration will concede was suppressing the vote and suppressing the virus lets get more now from mike hanna who is live for us in washington and tell us more about the the size and scale of these protests outside the home of the postmaster general. Well it was a fairly local protest or organized by a local d. C. Group not that many people but certainly the anger was present and this is summing up basically the anger and concern among many in this country weve heard from a number of members of Congress Republicans as well as democrats who are deeply concerned about the state of the post office and the fact that little is being done to try and help it to try and help it get its Services Going now the new postmaster general who is sort of joy has been pointed out and hes slashing costs hes cutting over time hes reducing the number of mail sorters so there is a situation here with the post office is about to come under the greatest possible pressure of an election in a pandemic and at the same time its saying as you heard there that it may not be able to get letters mail in votes back on time so this is a major crisis which the democrats in congress are attempting to address by giving the post office 25000000000 dollars as part of its coronavirus release Fund Republicans are blocking that because within that democrats suggestion is money for some of the states that have been hard hit president repeatedly says that the democrats only want to give money to democrats states thats absolutely false a number of states that would be liable for such aid under the democrat plan includes republican states as well so this is a situation where it would appear according to many observers that funding for the post office at a time of crisis is being held up by the president for purely political reasons and some uncharacteristic remarks there from president barack obama his trying to avoid attacking President Trump so far really there is this accusation from the obama and democrat lawmakers that President Trump is trying to manipulate this election does that ring. Flecked Public Opinion across the country. What a reflects the opinion off a certain amount of people the actual public position on this is very hard to gauge although polls have suggested repeatedly that the United StatesPostal Service is one of the most trusted and respected Government Agencies in existence seems some 90 percent Approval Rating in polls about a year ago so certainly there is a public support for the post office so many people depend on it as you heard their former president obama making mention off the fact that its not just about an election its about veterans receiving their checks its about social welfare checks going out its about people receiving medication it is a massive part of the fabric of the society which is now threatened for what observers are claiming is political reasons now President Trump is just held a news conference. Saying that he supports the postmaster general completely he describes him as a great guy has a very intelligent man and he also insists that mail in voting cannot happen because he said it without any evidence that it is fraudulent and he claims will make the United States a laughing stock of the world well these are statements which as many that the president makes in this news conferences very questionable indeed thank you mike hanna in washington thanks mike. Well in other developments the u. S. Secretary of state might pompous and lashing out at members of the u. N. Security council over a vote to extend an arms embargo on iran the u. S. Proposal was widely expected to be defeated despite u. S. Pressure to win support but in the end only one country in the Dominican Republic voted in favor of the resolution the u. K. France germany and other members abstained iran says the u. S. Has never been so isolated with president Hassan Rouhani describing the vote as a humiliating defeat for the country. Better yet. The u. S. Has worked for months to prepare a resolution to his iran and it could only get one vote supporting it from a small country the Dominican Republic you see how theyve been humiliated the recent 11 countries abstained into voted against it was because they believe the prison version of the j. C. Is essential for the interests of the region and the world yesterday was a political achievement through iran and a political failure for the u. S. Following on from that vote u. N. Security council President Trump has now confirmed the u. S. Will try to restore u. N. Sanctions on iran through a provision in the 2015 nuclear deal he also said that the u. S.

But we knew it was going to be but well be doing this not back youll be watching it next week youll be watching it next week. Or so who videos. Leaders or are you going to do that.
