The very good morning to you, you are watching r. T. And lets start in the United States with a 2020 president ial election is surprisingly far from over. Counting, recounting drags on in a number of states nearly 2 weeks after the vote and the trumpet. Ministration is 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. Were moving forward here. The white house knew something that there will be a 2nd term. The Media Outlets have called the election for joe biden, but star trump has yet to concede victory, and is making claims the elections were fraudulent. The state of the most legal challenges in several states and all demanding recounts when the fact is already underway that see georgia where the race is too close to call. Though, some republicans, theyre all raising concerns. They say its not being independently verified and tally, and the 2020 president ial race in georgia is 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. It began at 9 am friday and is expected to be completed 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 certification of the States Election until affected ballots can be looked over by hand. Trump supporters continuing their stop. The still rallies. Thursday, demonstrators gathering in richmond, virginia. There was an even hour. I know that for all voters, youre quite right that he was there for the president elect but were about to order michigan were about to overturn wisconsin. Were about to overturn that so very, you know, theyre going to find out really where youre all very, very versatile. Counting george there are in arizona and nevada because probably still in the way 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 reporting for the news with rick sanchez and tossed. Sweet state officials and independent observers have all said that there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a letter to the trump of ministration. U. S. Election officials called the 2020 votes the most secure in american history. But a recent poll indicates widespread concern among voters that 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, great senators, 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 dept 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 will be Electoral College has to be and so those are 2 days im looking for. If anyone tries to violate those dates, now you have a constitutional crisis, and now you are impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january, now, republican, supporting terms for the negations of putting democracy on a dangerous path. Thats according to former u. S. President barack obama, for the u. S. Election system. As i say, a big question for decades. Aunties downhole conflicts a closer look at the history of fraud 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. Destroyed was unfounded, ludicrous, and baseless allegations made by President Trump and 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 i want to be honest. Its not as if its just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes democrats have to. And his jerry not 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 with your head spin, wasnt followed. The 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process. On key swing state, 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 are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections. Thats what we suspect has happened. And wed like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work. Former u. S. President jimmy carter cochair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of ford and 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 go hsieh to hand some people every vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. Things became less violence and more nuance than a 20th century. Lyndon johnson ended up winning a primary. He was losing in texas by just 87 votes. All thanks to the last minute appearing of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. This pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. There was scandal at the time, but a mission took years to emerge. James, and 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 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 bidens Foreign Policy might like. This was on the latest edition of going underground. Do you think its a mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue. Someone who broke in a fundamental way with american traditions because trumps isolationism is unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those after 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 the 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 both about by the crow, the virus pandemic is a must shift to working from millions of people will by just staying away from the office of research is a job of his biggest bank is saying those people should be taxed for the privilege working from home will be part of the new normal. Well, after the pandemic has 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 doctor bank team is suggesting an additional 5 percent levy for remote staff. They argue its roughly equivalent to what people save on transportation and food, and in that money could be redistributed to those who cannot work online, many of whom are blue, collar workers and lower incomes. The researchers estimate such a scheme would raise around 48000000000. 00 in tax revenue in the us 9000000000. 00 in the u. K. 19000000000. 00 in germany. And most surveys this year have shown positive attitudes to home based work. A poll in the us found a hefty 72 percent of socalled knowledge. Workers want a combination of remote and office to tease well only 12 percent would prefer to work only from the office. Journalist Charlie Boyle and geo political analyst, ryan a wrote for their views on the idea of a new work from home tax. Major cost for people is really nice and i was getting to work on that nice. Try to get some sort of year and a lot of cases that automatically relief, sr. You know, significant costs associated with, with getting to an office job. 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, equipped office. If 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. And 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 there is a tax, if theres extra tax for people who can work for from home, its supposed to be Something Like a compensation for these losses. And for these deaths, i think its a totally misconceived strategy. Its no time to even implement theres even if they dont recall well, and i say yes, organ secured the 1st 3 months of next year. Once it actually gets rolled out and well have the conversation very amicably. But what we need is to foster Economic Growth and activity. And this can never be done through a tax. To lead fisherman in france awarding the jobs will go and the marine life be damaged beyond repair. If plans to build a new wind valid brittany, go ahead. That story coming away a few moments. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, very dramatic development, only i dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical to sit down and talk. Welcome back. French fishermen are opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in britain and they claim that it will endanger sea life and their livelihoods present around your microns long. Been pushing for Renewable Energy projects. Solar day was key pics of 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 parents to eat, but theyre now not alone. A Renewable Energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this areas natural resources. The strong winds and tights here make the coast around the area which is near sawn creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62. 00 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, cannot be a windfall. That is a certainty. And it is resident, he says he would rather die standing in the fisherman cannot be developed. The wind farm is important. Politically, french president not growing has attempted to portray himself as being an environmental champion. Now he hopes the wind power could generate almost the front to sell it to city by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. Yet one Campaign Group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. When you install a wind farm in a protected zone, the environmental damage is close and it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. The government has tried to offer comfort station, but you cant compensate damage to the sea. So 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 to just the other side of where it supplants its the isle of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. Its no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are, im not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is simply covered in french, french nets, french gear. He says thats because french fishermen have been pushed all their own waters because of the wind farm. Those vessels which are now turning up and increasing. Yes, it too are in jerseys waters to an extent that our system and can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of our own waters. So that it is causing just on a set of all levels of hardships. A jersey fisherman, its got, its creating conflict between jersey fishermen and french fisherman. And it certainly creating unsustainable board has created unsustainable levels of fishing, if it in the water. Thats the Company Responsible for the construction of the wind farm says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. This project is one key to france and moving toward to Renewable Energy sources. But locals here are determined to do everything they can to scupper, that. Charlotte deal ski, r. T. , brittany, amid soaring criminality. The us city of minneapolis is approve a cash injection for its police department. The force will get an extra half a 1000000. 00.
