Bans visitors from denmark after a new strain of code is transmitted from the link to humans copenhagen that will cull millions of animals. Welcome to the program and we begin in the u. S. Where president elect joe bidens team is preparing its transition to the white house but the current occupant donald trump isnt leaving without a fight. President trump has yet to concede the election he claims theres been serious of voter fraud and is about legal action we believe these people are thieves the big city machines are corrupt this was a stolen election the best poster in britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election that its impossible to imagine that biden out ran a bomb in some of these states where it mattered they stole what they had to steal. On saturday Media Outlets called the race for biden after days of counting the president elect has promised to help america become a nation healed like in 2016 its all gotten off to a bad start with more allegations of meddling only this time not by outside actors but by inside ones and now its the democrats turn to have the finger pointed at them as dan hawkins reports for Many Americans the 2020 us president ial election had so much riding on it it was symbolic a long awaited charts for justice to prevail for the country to correct the mistakes of 2016 at least thats how the media many people saw it where were you in 27. When we had the worst president we could argue its unfair to rank trump as worth president ever after just one year but clearly those scholars see in him a Great Potential worst in most dangerous president in the history of our country are the worst were. Thousands of jubilant people celebrating on the streets a far cry from the scenes we saw after the last president ial election seemingly the only tears this time with those of joy. Vindication for a lot of people who have really suffered for years ago when trump won broadcasters showed scenes of people in shock and crying today a biden declaration shows coverage that would make you think jesus had returned all 4 hours might be exaggerating but to some it really looks like a savior of the senate upon america except this is a reality for only half of the country bidens predicted landslide or blue wave didnt happen and no matter how many times he was called the worst president in American History the worst president the countrys ever had trump still managed to gain the support of close to half the electorate and they alongside his Campaign Team are not giving up without a fight. I. Was able to be over and immediately. With the democratic leadership all trump has so far also refused to concedes making a slew of allegations about the legality and accuracy of the voting process if you count the legal votes easily when if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. The election from us and trumps team up behind him ready to do battle in the countrys legal system and highest courts to stop what they see as an injustice these are a lawsuit will be brought starting on monday as you know from the very beginning the mail in ballots were a source of some degree of skepticism if not a lot of skepticism as being innately prone to fraud this fraud war between the trump and biding camps wont end anytime soon how do we know this well that simple the last one dragged on for trumps entire term a democratically elected president was accused of just about. Every wrongdoing trump is already acting like a russian donald trump is actively or was actively colluding with russia hone told mahlers office about more contacts between trumps orbit and its it appears trump himself in russia they didnt believe trump when he denied there was any collusion for example so why should he give his opponents the benefit of the doubt what claims the president made yesterday were simply not supported you know i think what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on he needs to acknowledge the fact that he lost and he needs to congratulate the winner well its not for us biden or trump to decide whether any wrongdoing took place during the 2020 lection it looks like math will be down to the Supreme Court but what we do know is that trumps 4 years in office might have taught him a valuable lesson about how to fight his bottle and so far it looks like theyll be little unity along the way we discuss the allegations of fraud with our guests. Theres no doubt of that but that joe biden is the president elect and will take office at noon on the 20th of january next year there are no court cases that have any merit the margins are such that they are not capable of being disputed and also clear joe biden won the election by 5000000 votes the most votes that any candidate has ever gotten the countrys polarized but there was an extraordinary turnout in this election largely because of donald trump and because a majority of americans wanted did not want him to continue as president not joe biden got over 50 percent of the vote. For Hillary Clinton and won by 3000000 votes but she didnt get 50 percent there are teams of lawyers in every state with question marks on them and their purpose is to put together their part of a case thats going to be presented to the public and to justice as a full case that shows that the election outcome was altered by the fraud that it was that significant number to give you just one of those mathematical near impossibilities to show you how you can obviously see that things were done but are not right to. Vote for Hillary Clinton was very strong in a lot of democrats Capital Cities including the ones in the swing States Joe Biden got fewer votes than Hillary Clinton in every a major American City except for and those 4 are milwaukee detroit atlanta and philadelphia the 4 cities where much of the obvious chain are you is going on so joe biden got more votes than Hillary Clinton coincidentally in the 4 Capital Cities of the swing states but less all across the rest of the country and still he gets a Record Number 74000000 popular votes for president. How does this happen when only 4 cities have to make up a disadvantage to your previous gender day in the previous election its just mathematically nearly impossible i think theres a lot of circumstantial evidence a lot of self evident impossibilities like that and you have to assemble them all into a single detail jason i think thats what President Trump team of lawyers is doing right now. Europe has been taking an intense interest in the u. S. Election and with joe biden now confirmed president elect brussels has expressed the hope that bilateral ties will get a boost oh some of the continents political top brass are skeptical things will be any easier under the new administration to show demonstrate picks up the story and the e. U. Leaders were signaling their congratulations a sense of relief i think in europe that biden is the president elect there was a lot welcome particularly over the fact that biden has said he would bring the u. S. Back into the paris climate agree fold but there was also this carefully wooded suggestion about the challenges that are faced in the future and cooperation all those challenges together one of the big issues the european leaders are going to be thinking about is nato trump was seen as being divisive not particularly supportive of the alliance whereas joe bidens seen as somebody who is a big supporter of nato and may look to reinforce the alliance but there are some aspects of that that he wont be changing from the trumpet administration clued in perhaps the 2 percent of the g. D. P. That trump demanded that other nato members pay their fair share thats likely to remain the status quo and those the suggestion that joe biden would not be making a u. Turn or other important decisions. Joe biden isnt going to change washingtons approach to International Issues overnight because he cant its a mistake to believe that everything changes europe must above all count on itself nothing will be easy there are also many issues where i dont think anything is going to change there. Theres also the issue of trade this is been a massive problem with all these tariffs that trump has been imposing on e. U. Products over the last 3 years now joe biden comes into the presidency with a u. S. Trade deficit of 170000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars with the e. U. So trade is something that is going to be continuously a difficult issue theres also talks coming up over the digital tax on tech giants which of course friction over the past year or so and there is this continuing dispute over subsidies for airbus and boeing so that is unlikely to resolve itself very soon now the e. U. Has also been pushing ahead with this agenda of more sovereignty in defense in trade trying to perhaps sort of rally itself up against the u. S. And that is also unlikely to change up this marks a new chapter in european history where europe is independent will be proud of our european culture and identity will be able to stand up against china against the United States against the disorder we are currently witnessing european strategical told them is goal number one for generation were sending a message not only door citizens but also to the rest of the world europe is the world power and then of course theres the issue of braggs it those negotiations not going to well between the u. K. And the e. U. But the e. U. Is hoping that a biden presidency will not give special treatment to the u. K. Particularly if there is no deal breaks it so lots of issues that europe is waiting to find out about but the reality is joe biden has so much on his plate domestically trying to create the harmony within the u. S. And lets not forget that trump gained more than 70000000. 00 votes trump is and is alive and kicking and joe biden is going to have to do an awful lot to reach out to those voters. We spoke to karen i saw astras former minister of Foreign Affairs she said that under biden ties with europe wont be a u. S. Priority personally i dont see 2 European Union issues being top chanda we might believe that we are so important that washing wakes up in the morning and now care is 1st and foremost about how to repair the alliance how to get back to better relations with the various e. U. Member states no i think their 1st and foremost Foreign Policy agenda will be to peoples republic of china and how to handle all the open issues with them but personally i would share the position by a former president of to you being commissioner do you think its going to change should because although he constitution a lot and the so called. Fact. That continual one of them is to trade deficits and that along with the trade this and of course the burden sharing within the alliance. Here at r. T. Will of course pasting across the latest developments in the us today is after Media Projections but joe biden above the 270. 00 vote mark needed to secure the white house and declared him president elect donald trump is still refusing to concede and with legal challenges being mounted by trumps team the transition of power in america may face hurdles yet. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business im show business ill show you that. Legs. Welcome back we turn to russia now where the coded 1000 pandemic is spiraling out with the daily rate of new infections topping 20000 for the past 3 days the main infection hosp odds are moscow and St Petersburg the 2 cities have imposed a number of anti pandemic rules including mandatory masks and gloves in Public Places as well as curfews for restaurants and Leisure Centers to cope with the growing infection rate moscow has opened a number of field hospitals r. T. S. Russian channel went to check out the conditions. Of kosovo poland from the police. And the. For free or for almost 2. Years of the. I. I. Dont know about. The 2nd week how is a different from the 1st i think people have become less vigilant what do you mean people get used to it yes people got used to it but there are those who refuse to believe there are 2 groups now those who are extremely concerned about coronavirus know what it is who lost their loved ones and those who say you were all myers in the summer we relaxed let ourselves go and here you are and what we are seeing the consequences of this in autumn what did we relax because there were some objective reasons for that or were we just being stupid no we are not stupid we are just human beings how many temporary 1000 hospitals were set up in moscow 5 old them can accommodate over a 1000 patients approximately what syria to the point i have sort of the report of. But it was a. Thought if thats the end of. News and it will slowly be shewn some ventilators has this arrival read grown since march and then for patients on a ventilator it hasnt changed much what is the rate 25 percent however our approach has changed a lot more or them for us now placing a patient on a ventilator as a last resort when all other possible treatments are exhausted or the court of appeals from there and this is not the feeling of the most ill middle of the earth and preferable of what sort of bill clinton for me if we. Take him with them is meaningless to how has the hospitals work changed since march when it comes to sudden a story on the one hand the team has gained confidence in their actions but on the other hand everyone is exhausted. When will you be able to get back to normal routine work because we expect a 3rd wave in spring the usual season for all viruses so we hope this wave will be less powerful when it comes to the rate of infections and if it goes like this probably by june we will be back to normal i hope so but maybe even earlier well see a morning with a short bunch of. I. After some global news in brief a 20 year old gunman who killed 3 fellow soldiers at an airfield in the russian city of are on ash as were both reportedly been arrested after a several hour long start. Operation suspects 1st attacked an officer with an axe before robbing a pistol and opening fire a 4th victim was seriously injured and is recovering in the hospital the attack is thought to have happened following an argument. In bangkok protesters received a what welcome outside the royal palace they were calling for democratic reforms to the tide a monarchy greeted with water cannon. And Tropical Storm has made landfall in the florida keys heavy rains have already caused flooding leaving scores dead and over 100 missing is expected to move into the southeastern gulf of mexico. The u. K. Has denied entry to all visitors from denmark over concerns they may be infected with a new strain of coded 19 mutation of the virus which spread through farms has been detected in 214 people operates have also been reported in for farms across other parts of europe and the u. S. Millions of mink are now set to be called. You share the virus mutates in man and the mutated virus can spread to humans this is very very serious as the Danish Health authorities and they are bored to have fun 5 examples of fire assists in maine farms the mutated virus the Main Committee their fuel pools the risk there the upcoming vaccines it will not work as they should. Denmarks response to the new virus has sparked a concern among Animal Welfare activists our panel of guests debated the issue. The current weight and hard. Precautionary measures are very important if there are issues then you need to stop the roots of transmission wherever however you can my concerns are that if this reservoir of infection then spreads to other animals and then we establish a animal reservoir for the corona virus sars kovi 2 variants then it becomes much much harder and much more more difficult to control and eradicate corona virus from the human population if that is what we are trying to achieve its not the 1st time that we have seen cold at 19 on make farms we have seen shark farms in the neck netherlands in spain in italy in the u. S. And in denmark all become hotspots for the paris so why take the risk why should we can ball with what could be a huge threat to Public Health nobody needs a mink coat but we all need a vaccine thats effective yes of course we can expect today she and yes of course it is sad to rack knowledge that meant have got this infection one thing that is a missing link is that International Bodies who can look at the genome sequence of the virus that is circulating amongst the denmark meaning other people havent had access to to carefully scrutinize and see what the issues are we need to be cautious we need more information from denmark about what exactly is this mutation that you are very concerned about the only thing that we can do to protect animals and to protect human health from this sort of thing that can develop on many farms is to ban the far cheney and this. What were calling on denmark to do fire was a dying industry anyway top designers and the who are refusing to work with it but i do concur with my colleague that the the the use of our deferred for the fashion industry the lining in quite some time but this. Period the size of the trade that was related to meat for example comes to the market celebrant youre talking rum 800000000. 00 worth of trade to towards or look at and especially to talking about what the world and you measure that has been so drastic by the government and the Prime Minister most probably will put an end to this to. This industry anyway is it really necessary to have farmed animals so that we can harvest their furs i think that per se is very cruel and i prefer that they have to be euthanized now the question we should really be asking is is it necessary to farm them in the 1st instance. Back to the u. S. Election joe biden is celebrating his victory but no president ial campaign is free of scandal one of his former staffers is sticking by her allegation that the future head of state assaulted her back in 1993 a claim biden has repeatedly denied tarried gave an
