We hear today for a peaceful transfer of power after the election see what happens you know that has been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the bell its a disaster there wont be a transfer or frankly the continuation of the ballots that it controls you know it and you know knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else what are the 3.

B. I.

For the 1st time in living memory a u. S. President has gone on record refusing to respect the will of the voters and implying that his departure from office may not be peaceful as shocking as trumps refusal was the response by republican lawmakers was just as shockingly muted Sen Mitt Romney of utah was the only republican to tweet a rebuke of the president and without criticizing President Trump directly the most powerful senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell weighed in today now he tweeted this the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every 4 years since 7092 with a response from democrats it has been noticeably louder and sharper. And so. The answer to it all the antidote to almost every ailment that i have named is that vote and so right now our point is its no use our.

Another story polarizing opinions in the u. S. Is that taylor she was shot 6 times and killed in a raid by police in louisville kentucky and now the warrior for her family has slammed the grand jury investigating this shooting calling the probe a sham a grand jury in kentucky recommended a minor felony charge against one of the 3 officers for shots that hit a neighboring apartment it did not recommend a murder charge for any of the officers the grand jury decision sparked protests in the u. S. A state of emergency was declared in louisville kentucky 2 Police Officers were shot and injured their own when state taylors relatives and activists are calling for the 3 Police Officers who are all white to be charged with murder or manslaughter. Corresponded to define simons is in louisville kentucky tonight. Weve got a nother story in the u. S. About the police africanamericans and accusations of an unfair Justice System. Yeah rights and i can tell you the only thing subsiding here is the shock about the decision of the grand jury and the attorney general yesterday saying that. Basically none of the 3 officers involved in the shooting of Brianna Taylor are charged with anything and that was 1st of course yesterday as it was some shock here of the people of the Africanamerican Community here in the community in lou will kentucky it all which then transferred very wary and of. Itself in in anger and in frustration and in outrage and that ouster outrage is still very much alive even today 2nd day 2nd night possibly of more violent protests in louisville we talked to a few people about how they feel about what happened yesterday and what they expect for the day and how about we listen into that. Here you have to pray. And pray for the poor souls. I mean what happened yesterday was horrible but i feel like weve kind of known that something bad is going to happen youre not going to put the whole city in a state of emergency if its good news so im not going to say that a lot of people were really surprised but it was still a slap in the face protesting and tell their strange change in the court system change in the Justice System. Starts getting served. No no no turning back at this point. To step on she said its people here are its a sorry no go ahead. I want to say they have it people people here are really adamant about about keeping this fight and driving this fight forward for them it is a and i use this terminology lending it from them taking their terminology the. Fight a fight for justice which they dont seem to get at least thats what they think and what they see and take from the decision as it was made by the attorney general yesterday the attorney general of kentucky he is a republican and he is a black man has that been a mitigating factor in decide all stephon. No not at all. Sure that i mean hes definitely not the most popular person right now in the Africanamerican Community and in a with those people who are really trying to one way or another trying to a push their cause forward and that is really against Police Brutality and against racial bias in the Justice System for them hes as guilty as charged and again there is absolutely no way that anybody here understands how he could come to a decision like this or and their way its getting a little bit more complicated he had to ask questions to the grand jury he had to put a case in front of the grand jury and that is the limit for a grand jury to decide on but apparently he didnt even come forward with anything remotely at least thats the speculation he have meant by many anything remotely as charging or or suggesting that those 3 offices were in any way responsible for the death of beyond a tailor so yeah that is a tough pill to swallow here for a lot of people in her staff and you have covered stories similar to this George Floyd Killing in minneapolis the shooting of jacob blake in conversion wisconsin and and now this the shooting death when you when you compare all of these stories what stands out about this story here the Briana Taylor story. I think for the real attender story and so we need to remember that this is she worse killed before George Floyd George floyd yes blew the lid of everything. We all witnessed this we talked about at the time many many times and and i was myself standing on the streets of minneapolis and was in literally in shock and all of what happened there what paradigm change or shift happened there now Brianna Taylors protests were on go and before that actually people here are protesting for 120. 00 days for the last 3 months almost every day its a little bit under the radar but theyre absolutely determined to not let this go to not let this go this is actually something which you can attest to protesters in can osha in minneapolis in anywhere around the United States definitely here in louisville kentucky they will not they will not let this go it will go on and on and on it will simmer down maybe a little bit but then it will again its not going away do you see the devaney you see these major stories impacting the election next month i mean do you get the impression that africanamericans then are galvanized and will turn out in greater numbers on the lection day. I would im tempted to say yes i think i think i want to be. Be on the side of caution here i think it will have an impact i think the africanamerican vote will be in numbers bigger than it was in 2016 for example but i do not im not really sure how to assess it definitively and how much of this specific topic will drive ever get americans to the to the polls i would think and many many experts say yes of course is will be a driving factor that this is the case but im also a little bit cautious about this because theres many many other issues. Thats Live Television for you theres stuff on stuff i saw in stephanies in louisville kentucky stephanie as always thank you. Where there have been more than 16000 new coronavirus cases in just the past day in france the soaring infection rate in the country has also seen hospitalizations from 1000 reach a high not seen since early june and this is prompted the french government to introduce extra restrictive measures to contain the virus mainly in larger cities bars will either have restricted hours or closed completely gyms will shut down and no more than 10 people will be allowed to gather in Public Places but the government says its determined to avoid another walk down given the severe social and economic consequences. Thats what the government says lets take this now to paris to reporter John Lawrence and gets a huge on the mean how close in france are we tonight to a new nationwide lockdown. Well the whole point of the measures that the government Just Announced is to avoid and other economically catastrophic lock down the government furlough schemes are coming to an end here is in some other countries and the unemployment figures are starting to rise very warningly and france is facing a huge economic catastrophe because of its 1st lockdown so it really wants to avoid another one and its hoping that these new restrictions are going to prevent this rise getting out of hand and prevent from to having to go into a 2nd lockdown situation how much faith is there among the public that these targeted and localized to these many lock downs if you will that they will be effective. Well as a good question i havent seen any. Opinion polls on these very recent announcements but looking over the last few months every new restriction has been extremely computer you know when you ask people. Should you prevent people getting so yes you know should be you prevent yes should you prevent she didnt close things down yes and the compulsory wearing a face mask to c. C. s which was the really took off in a big way in france very very popular and its interesting to see though that some of the some cities that have been targeted by these new measures its a little bit of kit that theyre specially in not saying not say its been singled out paris is telling them not say we who has a traditional rivalry you are a real problem city you know you copious it you coded numbers a really bad and were going to have to close your balls all together for 2 weeks you know then just not us is being treated in the same way and. That and and to do american our say saying you know this is just really do need to consult me and this is unjustified so there is a little bit of unhappiness there yes and we know that the number of new infections in france just as were seeing in the u. K. And in spain the numbers are alarmingly high the question then is will the number of new hospitalizations also increase and if we see that rise can the french Healthcare System can it cope with that kind of search. Well i think weve seen. 783 new hospital admissions in the whole of france over the last 24 hours these. Are already rising and i think and the government will be making this in an ounce when these announcements and these taking these new measures if you will also see hospital admissions increase and this had to be said we are nowhere near that catastrophic levels that we saw in france in the not too april and cast your mind back to 2 those months the hospitals in eastern france and even in difference even in the paris region who are completely overwhelmed you know full weeks 3 weeks things were really really really out of hand and were a long way from that situation now even in drug program city must say 30 percent believe the decoded that capacity is being used at the moment so were a long way from that sort of. Repeat potential catastrophe lets hope then that these targeted and localized restrictions lets hope that they do the job at least until there is a vaccine sometime next year we hope reporter John Lawrence and joining us tonight with the latest on the situation in france john thank you. In the western and german state of north rhinewestphalia investigators say they discovered 16 new instances of xenophobia among Police Officers now thats in addition to the 100 state Police Officers already accused of spreading racist or extreme right wing views but accusations of such behavior among Police Officers they are not confined just one driven state our next report comes to his t
