Advanced trials point to it. Being hungry says it wants to join the queue for the russian part of the production to hungary broadcasting live. Deborah thomas, certainly glad to have you with us in the u. S. State of georgia is to hold an election recount the local secretary of state confirmed the news. Citing joe bidens narrow margin of victory over donald trump, takes us through what it could mean for the president ial election. Well, georgia is a state was 16 votes in the u. S. Electoral college, and usually it is considered to be a red state that generally just goes routinely for republicans in national elections. However, at this point, its a swing state. And in the count of the votes, the 1st count joe biden had a very narrow lead. Now at this point, weve got georges secretary of state coming forward and saying that a hand recount is taking place at the request of the trump team. Mathematically, you have to do a full recount because the margin is so close right now. Its 14101. 00, its a big process to be a methodical process, and it will be a process that im sure that the replay of oversight. We want to make sure that both parties have the opportunity to observe this because we understand the stakes are higher. Now georgias law allows for a recount of the votes. If the margin is less than point 5 percent allows for the candidate to request a recount. Now at this point, the Trump Campaign is seeking a recount in pennsylvania as well as in wisconsin. Now there are some states around the country where if the margin is close enough, theres an automatic recount to the campaign of one candidate or other doesnt actually have to request it. However, in georgia, it is being requested by the trump camp. Theyre seeking one in pennsylvania and wisconsin. It hasnt yet happened there. Now at this point, weve got doug collins, who is heading up the Trump Campaigns efforts for a recount in georgia. This is what he had to say. We had to monday in the fool hand counts of every ballot each and every county in georgia due to widespread allegations of voter irregularities, issues in 3000. 00 machines and poll, which axis. Now georgia only has 16 electoral votes. So if georgia were to flip in trumps favor, it ultimately would not change the outcome of the election. Its not enough votes to take the election away from biden sense the vote on november 3rd, republicans and trump reporters. Have been talking about irregularities. And the possibility of fraud, theyve talked about possible ballot harvesting possible malfeasance with mail in ballots. And the us media has largely dismissed their concerns as outrageous and considers joe biden to be the winner of the election. However, Trump Supporters seem quite emboldened. They continue to argue that trump is the actual winner of the election in order for that to be the case. They would have to show some pretty, pretty widespread fraud and irregularities at this point. We still have a contested election here in the United States. President trump is also seeking a recount in nevada, where a whistle blower has now come forward, claiming to have worked for an Election Department there. His testimony appears to corroborate, at least some of team from claims of fraud. I personally witnessed of people handing multiple unopened mail in ballots to all the people who then opened and filled out the ballots against the side of the biden. Harris van, were not allowed to talk to them on the observer. Were not supposed to say anything ever to the we should stress that none of the fraud claims have been proven, but there is no shortage of allegations. Emerging. A conservative activist has posted photos claiming to show absentee ballots requested and returned by dead people in the state of michigan and another Facebook Post that has gone viral, suggests one person received 2 ballots in the state of pennsylvania. Ballots my name, but different versions. One hand, my middle name and my last name i said with, you cant see anything. The closest desk. Ok, lets put things in perspective. The close 6, the closest desk was 30 feet. The floor of this test was probably 150 feet. However, officials in different states claim no significant Election Fraud has been found. Pennsylvania had a free fair and secure election and the geishas of fraud and illegal activity have been repeatedly debunked and dismissed by the courts. Hoaxes and nonsense dont buy into these things. The up people shows how trumps persistence and unfounded claims of fraud and refusal to concede the elections of biden are dividing, not just the country but his own party. Earlier, my colleague in an oneill put the issues surrounding allegations of foul play up for debate. It unprecedented thing was done in this election, which was to pause legitimate voting in states where trump had obviously and miraculously only with absentee mail in ballot votes being counted ok. Thats the only thing that made the difference. And the state has had 100 percent turnout for biden. Thats not equally impossible. Even with the historical bent that goes towards democrats and in favor of democrat cant, is on mail in ballots. And historically your, whether people think trump is a blowhard, whether they think hes got hot blood irrelevant, is he the legitimately elected president and did by then cheat . If those 2 things cant be answered conclusively, we need to investigate. President trumps made a lot of claims are for all this past 7 days, but as far as i can see, hes not exactly backing them. A concrete proof is a. Well theres, theres tons of evidence and you cant possibly sigh all of the cases theres, theres harvesting their ballots being dispensed with. Its name on it. There are, well, its been cast by dead people. I people that lived through the civil war. I mean, we have ballots. I mean, i assume theyve been sent in 3 and 4 in the morning. Theyre being counted without any observers being up witness the count. Or there is tons of evidence that there this is going on is cant. Theres a laundry list that he cant possibly sidedness reach. No one thought that donald trump would win the 1st time. Perhaps. Perhaps there really was a real determination that he could go ahead and do something become president for a 2nd time. And a lot of people out there did not want to repeat. Well, lets be clear. I think a lot of people thought that president ial palace chance of being reelected. But lets also be clear when were talking about this feckless idea voters fraud. There is more chance of being struck by lightning after surviving a plane crash than there has been since is a voting fraud in this country. Theres so much evidence. Youre going to be blown away. That would be of evidence. Youre absolutely wrong. All we have is the, are these, this is but no hard evidence. Donald trump has every single right to challenge any outcome that he wants soon, he can call for recounts in any state that he wants to. But if he doesnt have evidence, the judicial process is going to take place and hes going to lose. So this is just another continuation of a presidency thats been rife with fantastical lies. And really making a mockery of the American Democratic system in an effort to try to hold on to power. That is simply not his anymore. The American People have rejected. Donald trump, as president of the United States, the armenian opposition is calling on the Prime Minister to step down after he signed a hugely unpopular peace deal with azerbaijan. Throughout the day, protests raged on the streets of your advantage against the truce over the disputed nagornokarabakh region. Pictures show police firing, tear gas on the crowd. Hundreds had gathered outside the parliament denouncing the pact with azerbaijan. As a capitulation, several protesters were detained while a Police Officer was reportedly beaten in borders down off reports now from the scene. So a few 100 people are still occupying the street right next to the armenian parliament. If you look close enough, youll notice a very heavy police presence. Essentially, the Security Forces have cordoned off almost the entire perimeter around the building of the national assembly. Here to prevent the protesters from potentially potentially from breaking in. Also theres a lot of special vehicles here. You can see them down there as well. And just around the corner over there, we noticed at least one would say, can and you can clearly hear how high the emotions, how very passionate and heartbroken people are here. Because of that document that was signed because they dont see it as a peace treaty. They see it as a surrender. And a lot of people who have talked to here, they are saying that the incumbent Prime Minister, nicol passion is a traitor. Stone, you call it pushing and betrayed us here, traitor. Hes a peak. How he could do this to us. I have friends in karbala, a policeman. There is a friend of mine. I worried about him. You thought there is a bad people who are gathered here are those who love their homeland. Who believe that these decision is a step in the bag for all armenians pushing on his surrender our lands in secret and is now hiding. Hes not going to come out and explain his actions yet. He in turn is essentially saying that he had no other choice, and that had he not signed this particular document, then it would have been worse. Heres how he explained his heartbreaking decision. Submits, had the fighting continued to panic, kurt martini and ask around, would almost certainly have fallen fountains of our soldiers with then who found themselves surrounded. They would have been a collapse. We had to sign this agreement. But for most here, unity is impossible. As long as nicole passion and, and his government are in power, i make is done the reporting from here about, you know, armenia artsy among the people condemning of the troops were those with firsthand experience of the conflict. We heard from one woman who was forced to flee the region that their beer or i left a car about 3 weeks ago. All my family are there, the bombs fell outside our house. There were children there and they didnt know where to go. What to do, then they realized the word was happening. Children died young boys for what to give away or land. This treaty is an attack on all or mean eons when the Prime Minister signed it, he betrayed us. If we were willing to give up the slant, we wouldnt have sent so many young men to work. I want to quit. If it goes on like this will lose armenia, there will be another genocide. My brothers in karbala are soldiers who are refusing to leave their posts, because this is our homeland. Meanwhile, in azerbaijan, people have taken to the streets in celebration while armenians see the truce as a defeat. Many of their is regarded as a victory. Lets look at some of the main aspects of the new treaty. The most contentious issue being that azerbaijan holds on to its military gains, plus armenia is obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month. It has also been agreed that russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces and the roads linking the region to armenia. Also, refugees are allowed to return home and prisoners of war will be exchanged for a march by nationalist groups in warsaw to mark polands independence day, descended into violence. I protesters rally despite a ban on public gatherings. Tensions flared with far right activists throwing firecrackers, stones, and bottles at police. A number of arrests were made. Several people were injured and needed hospital treatment. The march came at a time when thousands have been Holding Daily nationwide protest against the governments backing of plans last month to tighten already strict laws in the country with russias daily covert infection rate hovering around 20000. 00. New measures are being rolled out in a bid to stop the spread starting this friday in moscow. Restaurants, bars and nightclubs will have to close by 11 pm. Colleges and high schools are switching to Remote Learning and Seating Capacity in theaters and cinemas is limited to 25 percent of that happening as developers of the russian coronavirus jab, sputnik v. Have said, mass vaccinations will start nationwide in just a few weeks time. It follows some highly promising results from advanced phase 3 trials. The publication of the interim results of the poster of destruction Clinical Trials to convincingly demonstrates vaccines intricacy gives way to mass vaccination in 19, in the coming weeks, mr. Ginsburg makes it very clear, rush is getting ready for mass vaccination. What an exciting news. In fact, the drug known as sputnik 3, is already spread across the country and we hear that russia sells of the broad its production grows drastically over. Still russia plans to have 500000. 00 doses in and is planning to start producing 6000000. 00 doses of vaccine a month starting april faces of its Clinical Trials are now behind. Meaning that it is proved that the vaccine is safe and it is currently undergo in phase 3 of the medical trials. And its mission is to study how effective the drug is and now we are receiving quite positive, impressive results. Again, its worth saying that these are entering early results, but still very positive. Your nemesis st. Clinical trials in the Russian Federation demonstrated 92 percent. Of course, there are still concerns. There are doubts. There is criticism, its understandable, but my humble opinion is that the more vaccines the better for the world, because russia was the 1st country to register the drug, the vaccine against call that 19, but is definitely not the only country to work on the cure. On the protection you actually shot or the placebo, i assume youre not sure. I am absolutely sure because yes it is. What is known as a double blind trial, meaning that neither doctors know, participants know whether they get placebo or a real vaccine. But i know for sure because i was so impatient actually, i wasnt supposed to know that, but i was so impatient. I got blood test and i saw that i got to but is meaning there wasnt placebo. Of course. So yes, im one of the 10s of thousands of volunteers taking part in phase 3 of the Clinical Trials of nick. So im still mourning today by the doctor. I mean, they called me, they asked me, how do i feel . I remember after like 1st shot, i felt really miserable. You know, i had some fever, muscle pain and headache, and also the 2nd shot as well. But they didnt bother me at all because it didnt last long. Although you know, im ready to pay this price to have antibodies. Meanwhile, hungary is among the latest European Countries to impose a lockdown following a dramatic surge in coated cases. It will last at least 30 days and includes a nighttime curfew. The government is in the queue to buy russias vaccine. Earlier, my colleague, neil harvey spoke about those plans with hungary and foreign minister who contract the virus himself and has been in quarantine for more than a week. I usually run like 15 kilometers on the day. You have to reach, you know, i am tired even thinking about running. So when i do a little walk around here, i got exhausted. So its, well, its a virus which i would like to propose to everybody to avoid its bad symptoms with impacts given that this is a global problem, one would like to think that it would be tackled better by countries coming together, working together, something that always they will know better than anyone as a foreign minister, whether thats happening, having found the, the level of Information Exchange and cooperation. I think youre totally right. So any Time International cooperation based on mutual respect, it is not. And i think bach received Political Correctness judging each other during each other should be left behind. And instead of the moment that king go out, there are countries on the political basis we should think about how to cooperate. Thats why i think International Cooperation would be extremely important when it comes to the vaccine, for example. So sometimes i have the feeling that the short of vaccines is becoming politicized, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are moving forward. We developing the vaccine regardless what they are. So we are interested in india, american, in the european, in their russian, in the chinese, in these really Vaccine Development and research to be successful. Because the more scenes we will have is the better, you know, shooting with everybody, including russia, of course. Yeah. If this is correct of reports, that hunger is going to be buying some russian vaccines in december. The, like you said you were looking at all. Busy the options, is there any concern though about how that will be met response from other countries because as we say these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. So now its a vote, the life of the people. So hes, anytime political aspects should be left behind and this is the time we understand. It is realistic that indeed some small scale of the be launched in order to make the National National necessary Clinical Trials on this back in hungary. And as also the 2nd part of january, it might be realistic that food by quantity from russia. But we are not going to negotiate and go about simply buying vaccine for russia. We are no shooting localized nation what the production or at least the part of the production to hungary. There is a Company Operating here in a hungry which has been producing for other or viruses and diseases. Of course, they seem to be able to transfer their capacity in a way that they would be able to be involved in the production cycle. The European Commission chief has said disagreements with the u. S. Will not simply disappear when joe biden takes over the white house. She spoke right after the e. U. Imposed a 4000000000. 00 of import tariffs on american goods. I believe their divisions can always be breached once can be healed. But some shifts in priorities and perceptions. Run much deeper than one politician or one administration. And they will not disappear because of one election. Ursula vonda lane has essentially been outlining what she sees as the e. U. Is priorities its interests to keep this transatlantic relationship between the e. U. And the us strong and make it stronger. But if you listen to her speech, it really does seem that just before joe biden comes into office, she is looking to take the bull by the horns and it doesnt take too much to, to read what she says as being a list of demands. Now this is all in the context of the fact that the e. U. Earlier this week decided to slap 4000000000. 00 worth of retaliatory taxes on the u. S. Products coming into the e. U. Now it had been thought that the e. U. Was going to hold back on these retaliatory taxes wait for that election to play out. And then if it was a Biden Administration sort of will reopen negotiations or a softly softly approach. But essentially it hasnt done that. And even u. S. Exporters are sounding the alarm Edition Alternatives will be a major blow to the u. S. Spirits industry. Especially kraft to distillers who are struggling to regain their footing, following the closings of distillery tasting rooms, restaurants and bars due to cope with 19. Well, its not going down massively well in europe, either the federation of wine exporters describe these rich hellishly taxes has been dangerous and in comprehensible and said that that raised the risk for them to the situation is now extremely worrying. It is more than ever necessary to get out of this interminable conflict, because that is the only way to end these taxes. And there is a dispute as a european level. Well, germany is being more conciliatory towards the us. France seems to be taking a harder line all the while from delaying is trying to patrol the e. U. Is having sort of a joined up thinking a stance on this by attacking 1st. There is this question as to where the countries and you are really formed in one line behind that, or whether this could backfire, not necessarily in the long term, but in the short term to former Italian Foreign minister Franco Frattini outline of the underlying trade disputes between the e. U. And washington. It is a long story. We are not talking about reasons even, or even United States relations. I remember myself during the thousands of residents of us. Many attacks from the us, from the United States, to finding consolatory maids to funnel establish the common free trade space between europe and United States. No success. Im sure their president biden, if confer, think will be dealing with these relations trade relations with it. E. U. In a different way, comparing with president trussell the use of the table, the relations of you with the United States and imagine a very sensitive like for entry are still on the table. And i think, trance atlantic operations are stick. If we are completely ahead, will do me any progress during the 4 years of president trump, that europe has been under consider by the United States. And i think he holds the new president will be paid more attention to the need to restore a looser in the field of foreign training, a decent level of relations. But that of the, for me, this hour, ill be back in about 34 and a half minutes with a full and fresh look at your headlines watching Arctic National stay with us. This is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases. You know, some really believe i was out there were not the person that the cheesiness and they are considered the most dangerous of criminals. Shes in a still probably off 23 hours of the day. Tell me that its not enough punishment. World of women on death row on our team. And im afshin rattansi, were going underground as the man socalled, Mainstream Media call us president elect joe biden. Marks veterans day on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. While a likely pick for pentagon, Michele Flournoy stresses the need for the usa to become a force to be reckoned with. Coming up on the show, there will be a smooth transition to a 2nd term, but mr. Action, right, took us 37. 00 plus days, you know, watching back in 2000 conducted a Successful Transition then did the corporate funded Networks Call it too early . As u. S. Attorney general bill barr authorizes federal prosecutors to investigate allegations of voting irregularities in last weeks president ial election. We speak to barry richard, the moire who helped win george bushs legal fight against al gore in 2000 and his coronavirus lockdowns on the robot revolution, forced us to ask questions about the very ways we live and work and the politics. James suzman, his groundbreaking, new book, and work the history of how we spend our time examines the history of the universe and humanity to ask the key to tackling not just the future of work. But everything from pandemics to wars to inequality, lies in our affluent hunter gatherer a past. Only a small coming up in todays going underground, but 1st as the 2020 u. S. Election appears to still be the subject of litigation. Lets go straight to Award Winning lawyer. Barry richard who represented george w. Bush in the florida litigation. Thats all al gore beaten in 2000. He joins me now via skype from tallahassee in florida. Barry, thanks so much for coming on. Is joe biden, the president elect . Yes it is. Thats an easy question. Well, russia, china, they still waiting on it, what makes you so sure that the u. S. Attorney general bill barr is wrong about investigate having voting irregularities at the election that well, im not suggesting hes wrong about investigating irregularities and not some inappropriate about that. Hes the attorney general younes the right to investigate anything within his jurisdiction. Im just saying that i dont see anything that i think will result in a change in the election. But presumably you watched the giuliani, who i should say as being on this show, he was on the show on election day. Hes now produced witnesses claiming republicans were prevented from monitoring absentee and made them ballots. You know, you can usually find witnesses in any election. Theres some alleged irregularities. Elections are big, messy businesses. The issue is whether there is credible evidence of either an irregularity, schroder of sufficient magnitude to change the results of the election. So the fact that you come up with 2 or 3 people who Say Something didnt look right, doesnt mean that the election is going to be overturned. If that were the case, wed never have anybody like hes saying what youre saying, partly because the margins a so different this time till what they were in 2000 when you won for george w. Bush against al gore. Well, they were good, big differences. Thats one that margin in pennsylvania was over 46000 votes, so you would have to be able to walk into court with credible evidence that there were well in 46000 ballots at the validity in which are in question. I havent even seen anybody come in with 100 pieces of evidence of a fraud or regularity. A 2nd in 2000, the problem was one that everybody acknowledged it was a effectively is on the ballot. And there were many, many thousands of doubts that had been rejected by the other readers. And a difference was only 537 votes. So that was a big difference from what were dealing with here. Ok, so the
