President trump is shortly to speak at a rally in georgia, and we get to the crowds there waiting for him. Its his First Campaign event since he lost the president ial election last month. Hes in georgia to boost the cause of the states two republican senators, who need to win runoff elections in the new year if the right is to retain its control of the senate in washington. But as hes made clear on twitter in just the last few hours, mr trump is focused above all on his own situation, still refusing to concede tojoe biden. Lets bring you some live pictures now from valdosta, lets speak to our north america correspondent peter bowes. He is also watching for this rally. I suppose the question is what kind of Campaign Speech will be likely to hear, peter . Well, is certainly a typical donald trump rally at scene we are looking at. We got very used to this during the Election Campaign and if that use to it during his entire presidency. Its something he enjoys doing but this is a very diff
Differences, we agreed that a further effort should be undertaken by our negotiating teams to assess whether they can be resolved. Trade and transport organisations in Northern Ireland have expressed their concern about the stalemate. From belfast, mark simpson reports. Whichever way the brexit negotiations go, there is huge interest in Northern Ireland. But some business groups say theyre tired of waiting for answers. We would hope, and ill use an old ulster phrase, that the eu and the uk would just simply wise up, get the deal done. This is too important for the games and we need to make sure that people understand what the rules are going to be from the 1st of january and relationships are improved. First of all we need a deal, that will be vital to reducing any barriers between trade between gb and Northern Ireland. Then we need an Implementation Phase because industry and government simply isnt ready for january the ist. And lastly, we need special derogations on retail food movem
Can Work Together as we go through the Implementation Phase to find out what is wrong with the program and if we can make some changes to fix it. Let us do it and let us do it in a bipartisan fashion. It is too big a program and too important to too many people to do that. Having said that it does appear that it is working. Let us not keep beating a dead horse. My beloved friend who gave us the beginning of our efforts today. Madame secretary, i see reports that consumers receiving plan cancellation notices from their Insurance Companies saying that plans are no longer available. Does the aca require Insurance Companies to discontinue the plans that people had when the law was passed, yes or no . Not when the law was passed. No, sir. Thats the grandfather clause. Thats because the plans existed prior to passage of the law are grandfathered in as you have said . Thats correct. So if an Insurance Company is no longer offering a certain plan, thats because that Insurance Company made a de
Unexpected medical expense. Never again will a woman have to pay twice as much as a man for the same insurance. That is why allowing insurers to continue offering deficient plans next year is such a bad policy. The law says that all plans except those that were grandfathered in 2010, must meet the new Consumer Protection standards. If we dont enforce this policy, Insurance Companies can continue offering flimsy coverage that disappears when people actually need it and no one should want that. It is understandable that there will be a focus today on what isnt working, but we must also remember what is working. The Health Insurance plans that are being offered in the exchanges are good plans. The premiums are much lower than expected. 60 of the uninsured individuals shopping in the new marketplaces will be able to get coverage for less than 100 per month. Half of the young adults will be able to get coverage for less than 50 per month. And since congress adopted the Affordable Care act,
How to develop a team, how to execute on projects. We see a recurring theme is to have ideas of what they want to do. Usually large and elaborate, but little experience on how to execute on a project, or create a proposal. 90 of ideas will not be taken into Implementation Phase for that reason. Civil society is effective on the local level. Not very affected on a National Level. Locally the have access to decisionmakers. They are present citizens. They carry the voice of the average citizen. They are able to have an impact with local councils. On a National Level, you do not see anywhere nearly as effective. There is a deep distrust of unknown groups and people within Civil Society, as well as the gmc within Civil Society. No coronation methods for movement. There are the difficulties that existing governments. Expectations can be misaligned. Most decisionmakers to match the have an office locally. They do not have a staff. There is no official website you can talk to your rivers in th
