Donald trumps bid to overturn the u. S. President ial election result has suffered another major blow with the attorney general saying there is no evidence. Of widespread voter fraud bill barr told the Associated Press that the Justice Department investigation has in his words not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected at different outcome president elect joe biden be trumped 53062232 votes in the Electoral College and more than 6000000 votes in the popular vote well alan fisher is following events for us in washington d. C. Alan its worth just reminding people that bill barr really is a trump supporter in a sense so what response says there have been from trump and his legal team. Well nothing from trump himself bill bodies here hes actually on the white house campus dont trump was in the oval office to just a few minutes ago hes no longer there we can tell that because normally theres a marine in dress uniform just in front of the door so we know that when the president is in the oval theres a line of photographers probably no more than 10 meters away from where im standing waiting to capture bill barge departure from the white house he might be able to get away without being caught on camera at the department of justice tell is that this was a meeting that was shared jeweled anyway if thats the case that it makes billboards comments even more surprising saying that he saw nor evidence of widespread voter fraud you remember just after the election he told investigators that he should investigate any credible evidence that he was criticized for that many people believing that he was buying into what the president was saying about the possibility of there being voter fraud but now hes saying look we cant see anything there is nothing there i doubt want please the president we know hes already fired one passen because they said that this was the most secure election that there is ever been and there are people speculating that bill bodies know on some sort of political death watch in fact Chuck Schumer whos the leader of the democrats in the senate saying well hes going to be the next one fired then isnt a nice for Rudy Giuliani of course in his heading Donald Trumps legal team well he said that bill bob is speaking with the basis of no knowledge of exactly whats been happening saying theres been no substantive department of justice investigation no witnesses have been interviewed he said there have been nord its all Voting Machines but saying with the greatest respect to bill barr he needs to do his homework a lot more interestingly enough in the interview that bill bards given he also said that the department of justice has essentially become their sceptical for people are not happy with this is you dont like something call on the department of justice to investigate so he knows that theres criticism coming his way hes aware that the president wont be happy but well but what he said but he still said it anyway. Do you think that him coming out so publicly and saying it might need that to other republicans changing their minds perhaps when it comes to supporting Donald Trumps bid to overturn the election. Well we know that bill barr is a big supporter of donald trump hes been fiercely defensive many people have said that in fact hes not americas main lawyer hes actually been Donald Trumps main lawyer hes intervened in cases of trump suit been up in court such as Michael Flynn former National Security advisor and roger stone when he wrote to the court and said look the sentence that youre proposing to give him is way too much hes also intervened the department of justice has asked if it could become the defendant when it comes to a case that is being brought by a woman who claims that donald trump sexually assaulted her he is saying that because he was president when she made those allegations then the department of justice should act and Donald Trumps defense its a convoluted argument thats already been thrown out of court once but bill bonde is very much regarded as donald trump ally but we know that over the last couple of months as we got closer to the election donald trump wasnt overly pleased with bill barr or the department of justice because he was suggesting that there should be criminal investigations of joe biden and also barack obama particularly when it came to what donald trump said was spying his in his campaign and 2016 and when there was no evidence that that actually happened then when there was no grounds for an investigation donald trump got very angry at bill barr because he was looking for this month to give him a bit of a political leg up essentially in the run into the election many ways in the way that james komi did in 2016 when announced that they were going to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails so we know that bill bot is perhaps on the list of people that donald trump would like to get rid of before january the 20th so thats why were no on this socalled political death watch waiting to see if when bill barr leaves here he leaves as the attorney general of the United States or he leaves as a private citizen going off to the department of justice just down the road to clear out his desk im guessing that will all find out probably on twitter and the next 20 minutes or so. And youll be there to bring us that update alan fischer with the latest from just outside the white house allan thank you. Staying in the u. S. The u. S. Struck from fines or and its german partner partner by own take say they hope their vaccine could be launched in europe this month if it gets the sign off from regulators theyve asked the European Unions Medicines Agency for emergency approval in a review could be completed by december 29th that could mean that at least 2 vaccines approved in europe and the United States are done so by the end of the year well meanwhile a u. S. Health care watchdog meeting as heard that most states expect to give Health Care Workers a vaccine within just 3 weeks the centers for Disease Control is holding an emergency meeting to the side who will be giving an unlucky in the occupation 1st an independent Advisory Team made up of 15 medical and Public Health experts is expected to vote in the coming hours states will that have until friday to decide how many vaccines they need. Lets go live now to end the gallagher who joins us from miami so what is the c. D. C. Advisory panel been considering. Well nothing that we didnt expect essentially saying that this countrys Health Care Workers those on the front lines of treating this pandemic should be treated 1st along with the elderly so that is really what we need to bear in mind here is this is an Advisory Board and its ultimately up to each individual state as to who gets treated 1st but it seems like most of the states are falling in line with the center for Disease Control and prevention advice of course on the back burner or 2 vaccines that are waiting for emergency approval from the federal Drug Administration those meetings will happen in the next couple of weeks and the Vice President has reportedly said these vaccines should be going out within the next 2 to 3 weeks but there is a Bigger Picture here because logistically this is a very difficult operation there are more than 20000000 Health Care Workers in this country about 3000000 People Living in care homes and some of these vaccines need to have 2 doses to be effective they need to be refrigerated which is very expensive im already seeing reports about refrigeration units being in short supply but nonetheless this is good news i think for people on the front lines of this pandemic who have really been hit hard by this but there are still questions remaining about when will this get to communities of color who have also been hit very hard and when will it get to the general population theyre talking about perhaps spring next year but the warning from officials now is very dire because were heading into that christmas vacation period were heading into the winter months theyre saying these next few months may very well be brutal and people cannot let their guard down and gallagher with the latest from miami in florida andy thank you neal. Well lets speak to professor jeff lasser a Cell Research at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health in joins us by skype from copenhagen in denmark sir thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so what do you make of the way that i guess these vaccine vaccines are in the process of being rolled out of and we really are talking weeks now arent we. Were talking weeks as we heard but the f. D. A. And the European Medical Agency are carrying out well the review says theyre analyzing data in real time which will allow them to make a decision much quicker than they normally would at nih yet speaking to us from copenhagen obviously you mean you do a lot of you work at it in barcelona what do we know about the way that the vaccines will be rolled out even within europe within. The European Union will purchase the vaccines together then divide them according to the key they developed for example in spain they expect around 10000000. 00 people to be covered in in the 1st rollout and then like in the u. S. They want to be prioritizing the elderly the Health Care Workers then those with underlying risk factors like respiratory disease or diabetes and then start to that to the general population im speaking to you from the u. K. Were coming to the end of a National Lock that and were going into a different sort of tier way of doing it the u. S. Is just finished thanksgiving weekend of course christmas is around the corner many people planning to travel to see their loved ones d. Saying that this talk of vaccine is perhaps a little bit premature in the sense that some people may be lowering their guard to do you think that theres a risk. I think there is people here vaccine and they think everythings going to be better it hopefully will be better but thats going to be a long time from now theres a lot of logistics 1st we have to get the approvals of the vaccines then they have to be let out to the populations who are talking months and months probably not until the spring that the general population sees a vaccine and in the meantime were going to be inside its cold in copenhagen it was also in chile and in barcelona when i left people are inside more not able to ventilate which is one of the key measures we can take to reduce risk unfortunately one of the other issues around the vaccine is that we do know from studies in various countries that some people are just a little bit reluctant to trust something that has come about so quickly usually takes years sometimes decades to come up with certain vaccines what would you say to those people. I would say all of the axioms are undergoing extreme scrutiny im not sure vaccines ever been scrutinized so much both by the companies by independent regulatory agencies by independent experts the way were able to move so quickly is because of these willing reviews normally all of the data has to be collected and then submitted and i can be a long process and a vaccine that submitted for review can be at the end of the line of other drugs and vaccines being reviewed all eyes are on the vaccine that will in reviews are already started in october with preliminary data and as we heard the European Medical Agency will work through the Christmas Holiday were in a global merge and see their work as quickly as they can to leap to the vaccine if the if the benefit outweighs the risks i mean were obviously talking about these vaccines because they are among the 1st to effectively pass a lot of the testing phases but there are many many more that are in the process of being tested and potentially becoming available. Thats correct theres theres over 150 vaccines being developed many in very early phases right now all eyes are on the on the big 3 but others are still in phase 2 the moving along and we hope and we think that were going to need additional taxes depending on how the current vaccine and the success of the current that says professor jeff lazarus researcher at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health speaking to us from copenhagen thank you thank you. Or before a vaccine is widely available testing remains the best route to getting many countries operating in any way like normal now where u. K. Developer says its rapid test could provide a result on the spot within 10 minutes but as jonah hill reports from manchester economic concerns are still coming up against privacy worries. Its tempting to think the arrival of a vaccine will mean the end of all this students being tested before returning home for christmas whole city populations trying to reduce transmission but it wont we dont have many long term. We dont know people we need and. Theres a lot of things we dont know. So using diamonds at the moment and that you know in the medium term. Is going to be really important fast accurate testing remains of vital goal 5. From which it will be actually looks at. This is a do it yourself test delivering results in 10 minutes the mideast certain 19 test is being trialled in spain its u. K. Developers safe faster than existing alternatives using nothing more invasive than a saliva sample just. Partnered with an app a unique q. R. Code there is the potential here for a Digital Immunity passport system as a timer allocated to the tests that youve actually undertaken in terms of days hours and minutes and then to view your actual passport of freedom you have your q. R. Code which has been bonafide for the device you have a q. R. Code that tells you ive had a test my test is negative im good to go create and all of that information is then bond is put together once the test result is confirmed theres much speculation but the u. K. Government insists its not considering a system of immunity passports to determine where people can go or what they can do depending on whether theyve had a test or taken a dose of the vaccine its an idea that offends libertarian sensibilities but given uncertainties about the pace and the long term effectiveness of any Vaccination Program it may well be a Necessary Evil i think. Back around do you need to be did we think so that we now. Whether they have nation where. They were. Really in. The world is holding its breath expecting an imminent return to normal life of normality may not be quite as we remember it jonah aljazeera.

Irans parliament has passed a draft motion to halt unrestricted access by the International Atomic Energy Agency to its Nuclear Sites the motion also allows iran to resume uranium enrichment at levels of 20 percent another violation of the 2015 nuclear deal there are reports now from tehran. And urgent motion passed jury and urgent session in parliament on tuesday 251 parliamentarians are demanding that the government stop unrestricted access by inspectors to rein in Nuclear Sites. This draft bill would also oblige irans Atomic Energy organization to take you rein him in richmond to 20 percent it is now at 4. 5 percent and under the 2015 Nuclear Agreement iran should be producing enrich uranium at only 3. 67 percent. The much least indeed sends the message to the enemies of iran that this one sided game is over. This motion will now have to go to the Guardian Council for approval but all the citizens about Irans Nuclear program are made by another body as the supreme National Security council but this move by the conservatively controlled Parliament Comes at a critical time on friday 63 year old Nuclear Scientists most and factories are there was assassinated near to her on when his motorcade came under attack in broad daylight in a rare move the government released these never before seen photos of the receiving the order of service for his role in the 2015 nuclear deal a fact which was not Public Knowledge until now in 2018 u. S. President dollar trump withdrew from the deal and imposed a series of crippling economic penalties on iran as a result iran reduces commitments to the deal in phases and the access to International Atomic energy inspectors is all of what remains as part of the deal there is a lot of pressure on the government inside iran to respond to the sas a nation of one of the countrys top nuclear and defense officials i think its quiet telling indicating the fact that iran or the when ian debates on the j. C. B. Your way moving to a are for you know situation and rhetoric i think will best well have an effect on the future. Negotiations on the j. C. Youre right and compliance with the. Tuesdays motion allows the government one month to implement these demands. I asked this other after the article 176. 00 of the iranian constitution states it is a matter beyond the 3 branches of government or the legislative body which is the magnus no political body or branch of power could act beyond that the latest report which came out in november said that iran now has 12 times more than the permitted amount of 300 kilograms of enrich uranium putting its stockpile at nearly 4000 kilograms. The killing of most and factories out and now this motion in parliament are all just adding pressure to their honey administration in the last few months that they have left in Office President summer heidi has already said that iran will avenge the death of the high ranking official but whats clear now is that he doesnt want to be the remans to do so for such a party out 0. The Ethiopian Government says a senior to graham politician has surrendered to federal forces this comes after Prime Minister ahmed claimed victory in the months long conflict over the Northern Region but the take rate Peoples Liberation front which has been in control in the area says the fighting continues the claims from both sides are hard to verify because of a media blackout that continues on meanwhile tens of thousands of people have fled the fighting in ethiopia for refugee camps in neighboring sudan but adjusting to the sudden lifestyle change is proving difficult vald now reports. But even by hunger refugees cure for lunch at the camp the food is prepared and served by relief groups with the help of refugees but the choices are limited. And this these people have been living on lentil soup with a portion of sorghum par age for 20 days this type of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone and it could have a hug that i didnt hear. You know we have only this type of food that you see here i had it for 14 days now people are throwing it away they dont want it anymore. The World Food Programme is the main provider of aid relief in the camps it says every registered refugee gets enough to eat this is the main food store of the w. S. P. Program inside the camp they say what is available here is enough to feed 8000. 00 people for an entire month and more is coming soon so according to them there was no shortage of food in the camp. Russians include bread sort of gum lentils Cooking Oil Salt and food supplements for newborns and nursing mothers this is early days hopefully well get all of these people off the porridge as quickly as possible the key is we get them registered and then as soon as thats the case then we will be giving them monthly russians will be able to manage it themselves. 75 year old tara key barely starts eating when he abandons his meal. But a few in the camp are being creative this woman was a government accountant in home ala shes 6 months pregnant she has boycotted the porridge and started a little food business of her own then. Never ate this type of food back home we simply dont know if we can take it since i had a little bit of cash i wrote some meat flour to make bread and so that suits my taste little makes bread and soup for her family and sells whats left over using the money to buy more supplies supplying the demand for food people here want to eat while aid groups do what they can to manage a humanitarian crisis. Are dizzier the account for if you open a few g. s in sudan. U. S. President elect joe biden has formally unveiled the Economic Team that he says will deal with the crisis caused by the pandemic he said no one is better prepared to deal with the fallout from the coronavirus then janet yellen his nominee as treasury secretary another pick from the Obama Administration she was a former chair of the Federal Reserve under the previous president lost law it was lost jobs Small Businesses struggling to stay a lawyer or closed for good so many people struggling to put food on the table in pay bills in rent its an american tragedy and its essential that we move with urgency. Course a salumi joins us live now from wilmington delaware what kind of tone do you think biden was trying to say when he introduced when he presented cheney and janet yellen. Well from the comments he made to the people he chose to the stories he told everything was aimed at his recognition and sympathy for working class americans scuse me and the people whove been hardest hit by this pandemic he talked about his own father losing a job and what that was like janet yellen talked about growing up in working class brooklyn a hub for manufacturing and transportation they clearly seem to be saying to the people who are struggling the most in the United States that we we hear you and joe biden actually said help is on the way that really seemed to be the message that he was trying to send for all americans that we need to start from the bottom up and fix things here and while the team itself that he chose is racially diverse and gender diverse 4 out of 6 of his nominees are women the 1st black man to serve as deputy treasury secretary should he be confirmed the he did point out that they are all on board with him when it comes to doing more to promote employment and job growth and wage growth for people in this category these categories of people again whove been hit the hardest here so he talked about a number of priorities im looking here at my notes whether its extending Unemployment Benefits. Beyond just extending Unemployment Benefits he talked about having Affordable Health care and child care relief from Student Loans all things that people whove lost their jobs are worried about now in terms of being able to get back into the workforce. And start rebuilding their lives after this pandemic which has so many people lost their jobs unemployment at record highs and so many people worried about those Unemployment Benefits running out come the end of the year and he seems to be sending a message to them to say that were listening and were on this plan that hes talking about is Building Back better not just bringing back the economy but addressing some of the underlying issues that led to these inequalities in the 1st place chris salumi with the latest from wilmington delaware christine thank you.

And Irans Parliament has passed a bill to ignore restraints on the countrys Nuclear Program it calls on the government to enrich uranium far beyond the provisions of the foundry nuclear deal with western powers. Environmental campaigners in the netherlands are taking on that one of the giants of the oil industry 7 groups including greenpeace and friends of the earth say Royal Dutch Shell has known about the damage from Climate Change for decades and they want to force it to change track vasant reports from the hague. The people versus shall thats how environmental groups called the case after people donated more than half a 1000000 euros to help fund the Court Hearings before this legal battle against one of the worlds most powerful corporations got on the way more money was being planned the same court in the hague ruled last year that a dutch state should protect its citizens against the dangers of Climate Change it ordered the natalines to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions for 25 percent compared to 1900 by the end of this year and via mentalists he did further based on a dutch law as a precedent for the case against Royal Dutch Shell and dutch lol no company is allowed to endanger the lives of citizens through its actions thats a very legal and an ethical and were basing our old good guys on that new friends of the earth say that more than 30 years ago chale had secret knowledge about the Sea Level Rise caused by Global Warming and as a result raise the legs of or threat from troll norway by 2 metres despite this the group say the oil giant continue to increase its production and paid International Lobbyist to downplay the dangerous shall the client requests to respond on camera but in its paper sent to the court the Company Denies the accusations we believe the claims in this summons are inappropriate and legally without fung dacian for example they assert that the Paris Agreement is directly binding on Royal Dutch Shell and they allege that shell had unique or special knowledge about c o 2 related to Climate Change these allegations are not true this court ruled last year that failing to reduce Global Warming is a violation of the right this type of company not the state of the file and by a month and from both the court and sound bite when we see its production of course i feel its the Little People think it will fly with this will have a major impact on the fight against climate. Ok. And via mentalists im not seeking compensation from shell but want to force the company to change its actions instead of investing 95 percent in fossil fuels they want shell to increasingly invest in Renewable Energy it makes it easier for the claimants because one very controversial issue in Climate Change with a geisha is the issue of cows ality can you prove that there is a causal link between it on the one hand the behavior of corporations and on the one hand specific damage incurred by certain individuals whereas hair does not need to be proven as such the 2015 paras agreement states that a temperature rise of more than one and a half to greece will endangered the planet with this case which could take years and via mentalists hope to prove the childs actions are doing just that step fasten the hay. Well the activists in the case against show want the court to order the energy giant to cut its Carbon Emissions by 45 percent by 2030 and 20 by 2050 shell has promised to reduce its emission by 30 percent by 2035 this coincides with other high profile efforts to make corporations liable for their Environmental Impact that the french government has proposed that eco side be made on offense damaging the environment it would carry maximum fines of more than 5000000. 00 or 10 years in prison the laws are specifically targeted of companies and businesses globally there are about 1800. 00 laws related to Climate Change the Grantham Research institute says 1500 Climate Change court cases have been prosecuted more than 2 thirds of them in the u. S. So lets go to the u. S. The hour for more on this we can speak to nikki a rush she is that the rector of the climate and Energy Program at the center for International Environmental speaking to us from washington d. C. Madam thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera i mean focusing on shell but really broadening it out what do you make all of efforts to use the courts potential fines even prison sentences to hold these Companies Accountable for the long term damage. Well thank you for having me i think the case in the netherlands against Royal Dutch Shell is a part of a rising tide of litigation aimed to hold fossil fuel corporations accountable for their role in the growing Climate Crisis and its truly significant because it doesnt just address the responsibility of shell one of the major fossil fuel producers for the climate harm its already cause and is continuing to cause but its really about inducing the company to take urgent action needed to align Business Models with the reality of the Climate Crisis and its really part of a broader generation of cases that are built on the fact that Companies Like shell knowingly carried on dangerous conduct for decades conscious of the risks it posed to people in the environment and the key signals that companies cant continue to get away with climate damaging action that contributes to harm in the field that really but the thing that that the threat so fines or potential prison sentences would make these companies change the change the way they behave. I do i would know that the case in the netherlands as you as you covered is not about criminal liability although it crucially really put shell in the spotlight for its ongoing and future contributions to the Climate Crisis and its duty to act accordingly but criminal liability is really crucial to indorse to excuse me to induce corporations to take environmental degradation more seriously and you know its been said that oh if the crimes are to penalties are too small it will just be a slap on the wrist but then lets increase the penalties and get more than that its really important that companies dont want to be implicated in crimes though the damages of that implication in association with criminal liability go far beyond the penalties it concerns access to financing indorsement customers and really crucially the prospect of individual Corporate Directors being held liable personally responsible for dangerous conduct that theyve signed off on knowing of the risks it poses to people in plan it is really a significant potentially Game Changing development and also helps to pierce this myth of corporate personhood and to make very clear that corporations are made up of individuals who have to be held responsible and who can be held responsible for the consequences of their actions that weve seen individual countries take action where were seeing the situation in the netherlands and then france as i mentioned earlier the french government has actually proposing that eco side be made an offensive do you think were going to see more of that or do you think that the netherlands and france for now are isolated incidents. I dont think theyre isolated at all i do think that the french and michoud of is perhaps on the cusp of a growing expanding movement in demand thats really coming from the public for urgent action to address the Climate Crisis and to hold corporations accountable in the United States weve seen over 2 dozen lawsuits on behalf of cities states and counties against the carbon Major Companies and increasingly those suits focused on Consumer Fraud and deception and conduct it really is indeed in many in many cases a borders on criminal conduct and although theyre focused on the civil liability of those companies the the emphasis is really on the growing pressure and consciousness of the public to look at who can and should bear the cost of the Climate Emergency and companies that spent decades downplaying the Climate Crisis and whose Business Plans are just digging us deeper into the hole in which we find ourselves face a growing likelihood that they can and will be held accountable i think this is just the beginning of an end an ongoing effort to increase the call for corporate accountability to demand an end to corporate impunity and to demand that businesses really step up their efforts to put a void dangerous Climate Change and put us on track to a safe you chair for all the key russian director of the climate and Energy Program at the center for International Environment law madame thank you thank you very much dozens of people born in jamaica but who have lived in the u.

The home office says we make no apology for seeking to remove dangerous foreign criminals to keep the public safe the people being detained for this flight include convicted murderers and rapists the u. K. Only ever returns those who the home office and where replaceable the courts are satisfied do not need our protection and have no legal basis to remain in the u. K. Colebrook has been criticized by the prisons inspectorate is largely indistinguishable from a prison is just on the outskirts of Heathrow Airport so that when the last appeals of the detainees fail they can be taken straight away put on a plane and flown out. Was campaigners and that of its of urge the government to cancel mass deportations saying they were products of racist immigration laws 82. 00 black British Public figures including model Naomi Campbell and actress tandi newton eros King Airlines not to assist with flights some compare this flight to the wind rush scandal where hundreds of commonwealth citizens invited to settle in the u. K. After world war 2 were wrongfully deported back after decades of living here it was a direct result of the u. K. Governments 2012 decision to create a hostile environment for undocumented migrants i spoke to the director of a charity that helps people facing deportation about her concerns equal taishan is needed at. It priced any noncitizen it gets a state you sentence of 12 months or a that exclusion people get made to born in the cape a change of citizenship immediately became Young Children and including people that and lived in any case really dont try and have children and all of their family life established here and so its really problematic it leads to real injustice in practice and it needs fundamental such reform comes itll be too late to help those already thrown out of the country rory chalons aljazeera london. Well lets speak now to set beer seeing here is the chief executive of the joint council for the welfare of immigrants here in the u. K. Sir thank you for joining us here on aljazeera so this flight is for you this flight is due to leave on wednesday morning so a few hours from now the government says these are dangerous foreign criminals are not citizens they should be sent to i guess where the good where the government thinks they came from other of course many have been here for many many years what is your argument against what the government is saying well 1st things 1st many of them arent dangerous criminals theyve committed offenses theyve been found guilty of them and theyve served their time in prison as as we just heard from the gentleman in your in your clip some of these people havent really friended for many many years the government is not taking steps here that you know we would consider to be purely about security its an ideological decision to remain committed to this process of deportation and youre punishing not just the people themselves twice but their families people youve got children here youve got partners who youve got grandchildren here in some cases theres no need to punish their families in this way that is so i guess then we could maybe separated too so youre saying that not all of these you know that a lot of these people actually may have served their sentences yes perhaps criminal but not dangerous ones but what about the ones that presumably have been found guilty of very serious crimes whats the argument against sending them back in and why do you think its happening now. Well my question to the government in that case would be if you dont believe that when someone has come out of prison after serving a sentence that they have either been rehabilitated or that they no longer pose a threat to society i would advise you to have a look at your criminal Justice System and start fixing it because you dont fix that problem by sending people away from it you dont fix that problem by putting people on a plane and flinging them across the ocean if you dont believe that your criminal Justice System renders people safe or rehabilitated you need to fix that 1st. We were hearing in that report that of course that the u. K. Government will through the years has been talking about a hostile environment for immigrants of course that was a couple of years ago in the meantime weve had the covert pandemic without a break said which is literally weeks away we still dont quite understand what shape its going to take what do you think all of that is having is an impact to this current situation. Well covert has had unimaginable impact on many of the most vulnerable migrants in our society indeed on many of the most Vulnerable People migrant or not migrant alike but what weve what weve seen over the last few months is a complete failure on the governments part to handle a pen demick and its led to some difficult questions being asked briggs it as you say is only 4 weeks away and its really not clear whether the government is going to pull a rabbit out of their hat at the last minute its part of their strategy its a known part of the Government Strategy at this point in time to to distract peoples attention they want things like the deportation of our National Offenders to dominate public debate they want to go out there out there and use reductive blunt language like saying that all of these people are criminals so that anybody opposed to the government can be painted as on the side of dangerous criminals its a clever political trick but its ultimately not a very good strategy for running a country its not very good way of making laws like that its currently nearly 10 pm here in the u. K. So the flight is that if you leave wednesday morning i mean a matter of hours are you hopeful that anything could happen at this late stage to stop the deportations i always remain hopeful that families can be kept together especially this close to christmas but you know ultimately the decision remains with the home secretary who it appears is not going to move said piercing a chief executive of the joint council for the welfare of immigrants so thank you for sharing your opinions and knowledge with us thank you.
