France and the u. K. Announced record numbers of new coronavirus cases the fears of persons government isnt reacting fast enough. And israel tightens its 2nd nationwide lockdown further banning protests and ordering all nonessential businesses to close. Their senior republican politicians in the United States have been promising an orderly transition if donald trump loses novembers president ial election this after the president refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power during wednesdays White House BriefingSenate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell tweeted that there will be a peaceful handover of power as there has been every 4 years since 792 leaving the white house earlier for rallies in North Carolina and florida trump again questioned the fairness of postal voting. We want to make sure the election is honest and im not sure that it cant be i dont i dont know that it can be with this whole situation until is it valid or unsolicited that big said to everybody who will say but if you remember Hillary Clinton just a week ago or so though joe biden would not accept the results of the election under any circumstances but you dont ask her that why should you only have the the right. Opposition democrats are united in their condemnation of trump including senate need to Chuck Schumer everyone from schoolchildren to the most senior among us know that the peaceful transfer of power is one of democracys core attributes there is no democracy without it and like the rule of law the separation of powers checks and balances everything we have learned that is great and noble about our system in government President Trump has sullied diminished and now he threatens to actually dismantle the grave is threat to american democracy right now is donald trump the white house says the president will accept the results of a free and Fair Election but our correspondent Kimberly Halkett says donald trump may decide to interpret that phrase in a way that suits him. The u. S. President has said that he really 1st of all believes that there will be continuation other words he doesnt kill lose but what hes done is said that if i do lose it may suggest that there was vote rigging that there was fraud and this is something the president has done for weeks now is suggested that because of mail in ballot being due to cope with 19 the fact that many people dont want to stand in line for in person balloting that the results could be questionable now the White House Press secretary kelly machinating was asked about this she said that the president would accept the results of an election but only with conditions the president will accept the results of a free and Fair Election and he will accept the will of the American People who loses and its free and fair he will accept ive answered your question he will accept the results of a free and Fair Election now its important to point out that the interpretation of free and fair could be very broad and interpreted in a number of different ways leaving open the possibility once again that the president may not accept the results now the other thing the White House Press secretary did in her briefing was point to the fact that it is not just the republican president but also some prominent democrats who are casting doubt on the election pointing to the fact that Donald Trumps challenger in 2016 Hillary Clinton has in more recently said that she believes that joe biden the current democratic president ial nominee should not accept the results essential he should not concede under any circumstances so what we see for americans here the bottom line or is that prominent members of both the republican and also the Democratic Party have really undermined the credibility of elections at a time when americans are looking for some leadership and also some certainty as they approach this very important what could be a potentially pivotal vote. Earlier donald trump paid his respects to the Late Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg whose coffin is on display in washington d. C. I was. Asked to do less than warm welcome with protesters chanting and vote him out trump says he will announce this weekend his nominee to replace Justice Ginsburg who was a liberal and strong advocate of womens rights she had requested that her replacement be chosen by the winner of novembers elections. No evil is bracing for a 2nd night of protests over the decision not to charge Police Officers for the death of Briana Taylor one man who has been charged over shooting and injuring 2 Police Officers during protests in the kentucky city on wednesday night their arrest began after a grand jury decided against charges for 3 officers for the black womans death during a drug raid in march 1 officer was charged for endangering taylors neighbors over one 120. 00 protesters were arrested overnight with demonstrations taking place in several other cities the maryville has called for calm as the city approaches another nighttime curfew. What we saw last night with the 2 Police Officers being shot is obviously completely unacceptable by alliance will only be a source of pain not a cure for pain and we know that violence is never the answer our community is hurting many see Brianna Taylors case as both the tragic death of a young woman and the continuation of a long pattern of devaluation in violence that black women and men face in our country as they have historically but the question obviously is what do we do with this pain there is no one answer no easy answer to that question but i do know this violence is not the answer and destruction is not the answer. Its going out to john hendren in louisville kentucky so the 1st night there were protests after the announcements have challenges what acing stand on the streets of evil now. But one day after the 1st night of protest live ill is Still Standing no major fires no major violent incidents no looting that we have heard of overnight but there were as you mentioned 127 arrests overnight and we just spoke to some of those people and they came out of that experience they said it was very unpleasant in their cold they said they werent given food just water. But they said theyre going to come back out and protest some more but 4 of the people we spoke to who had just come out of the jail said they will be going home at curfew time at 9 oclock because he said it was shortly after 9 when the Police Arrested them so what you see here is the main square and its been very quiet today but protesters say they will be out in force and we have. No information about. About violence overnight exam one Major Incident and that is that one man was charged with shooting 2 Police Officers those officers are in recovery one of them is left on spittle the other one is still they are recovering but they are expected to have non life threatening injuries and to recover from that the man who was charged is still in jail and whats interesting about that is the Police Officer who was charged in the shooting of Briana Taylor. Is not in jail he had a 15000. 00 bond and that is because he was only charged with 3 counts of Reckless Endangerment for firing into the neighboring apartment of a white family of 3 that upsets people here because they point out that that man is free and many of them have gone to jail overnight and to. You know if his family today what did he have to say. The number of things he said this is not justice for Brianna Taylor that somebody should be accountable for the death of Briana Taylor shot in her own home. Although that family was paid 12000000. 00 by the city of louisville nobody has been charged with that he says thats not justice he says he wants this movement to continue he wants this moment in the street to become a movement he says its very important that on election day people vote he says its also important who succeeds Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg on the Supreme Court this is a little of what ben crump had to say we have to transform the protests its a policy so we can properly respect the legacy Briana Taylor that legacy of george floor that the legacy of. That legacy traceroute pellerin in lafayette louisiana the legacy. Kids who was killed in Los Angeles California and now these theyve been on michonne it happened within this 6 month pandemic in america seem like everything shut down except racism and discrimination so we have to fight to preserve the negativity of those who have been justifiably killed by the people who were supposed to protect and serve the. So we were expecting more protesting tonight yesterday we saw people on both sides protesters and Police Members who were armed and carrying weapons and as we have seen today but police are taking a low profile approach until they tell people to disperse and then theyve acted quickly and curfew they immediately arrested people who were in the square so well see what happens tonight. As europe sees a 2nd wave of code 19 france has reported record numbers with hospitals struggling to cope the country reported 16096 cases over 24 hours its 4th record in 8 days the government warned its a race against time to stop a repeat of the crisis in march when in spain 10600 infections were recorded the thirtys are asking the dreaded residents to brace for tough weeks ahead as new restrictions are introduced.

While the government shores up the economy it also wants to tackle the virus by limiting social interaction weeks after people were told to eat out to help out something they did in great numbers. There are no bigger fines for not wearing a mosque limited numbers that can attend weddings and funerals and people are being told to continue working from home if possible theres also a new Contact Tracing up launch months behind sched jewel. Its all a step in the right direction say the scientists but some fear its not enough balls and restaurants may have a new curfew for the virus doesnt the earlier you cut it off you can avoid a lot more cases and hospitalizations and deaths and we sort of missed that window in march we can see now from what happened with the curve that if we had acts you know acted about a week earlier we could have you know avoided a lot of unnecessary cases and deaths of the feeling that were hesitating until its way too late is a bit of deja vu and i and i hope we can you know do the right thing this time.

Restoring our National Unity is a strategic and dialogue is the only course to take elections and a democratic process are the only means a clear cut agreement has been reached at elections on proportional representation basis are the most conceivable course to take with a timeframe no later than 6 months israel is imposing even stricter coronavirus knock down measures after a surgeon infections Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says the restrictions are necessary to keep the country from being pushed to what he calls the edge of the abyss hurry force that has more from west jerusalem. Israel was already one week into its 2nd coded 1000 locked down now with new cases nearing 7000 a day and the Health System issuing warnings of overstretch daily life in the economy but to be restricted yet further moment in the past 2 days we heard from the experts that if we dont take immediate and difficult steps we will reach the edge of the a bit in order to save the lives of Israeli Citizens we are required to impose full lockdown for 2 weeks. That means all nonessential businesses will close at an estimated cost of 10000000000. 00 with around a 5th of the workforce unemployed the measure was opposed by the finance minister as unnecessarily damaging and its a hard sell to a public already doubting and in many cases defying the current rules i think the government.

Thats led to fears of further spread within ultraorthodox jewish towns and neighborhoods already hotspots of transmission netanyahu has been accused of failing to impose early targeted measures on such places because of the influence of the ultraorthodox Political Parties and so with the competing factional demands confused messaging coming from the government theres been an erosion in a crucial commodity public trust a poll this week but support for Benjamin Netanyahu is handling of the crisis at just 27 percent palestinian areas have also seen high infection rates and sporadic government enforcement especially in the patchwork of jurisdictions that make up occupied east jerusalem. The man in charge of tackling the pandemic went himself on thursday to the refugee camp within jerusalem but beyond the separation wall to find business is open and people mixing the hope but when you look at the streets here you see people without vests though some are worried that its not a picture to expect in a neighborhood with such a high rate of people dying of course at 19 the. Israelis have been watching the numbers grow with deepening alarm for weeks now they wait to find out whether this hastily arranged much argued over extra lockdown who work when so much has failed ari force it out just 0 west jerusalem.

S. Politicians themselves the u. S. Should understand that believe me our viewers were not solve its own problems while not directly naming President Trump a number of other representatives made clear their rejection of his attack on china and the Us Ambassador exploded in anger or shame on each of you i am astonished and im disgusted by the content of todays discussion im actually really quite ashamed at this Council Members of the council who took this opportunity to focus on Political Correctness rather than the critical issue at hand among those who attended the sacramone us meeting with several president s and Foreign Ministers in addition to the ambassadors the secretary generals call for unity was ignored if not forgotten and made clear in this virtual session that differences of the past have been gouged further open during the months of this pandemic.
