Really was it true or but your center right through the heart of the great state of alabama youd be. I i. I i i mean i was there and there speaking was the elected democratic senator alabama at his victory address. Speaking to obviously his supporters and thanking the band certainly three of them Joe Trippi Doug turnover jarls perkins the man who persuaded him to run back in may its a historic victory alabama has not see a democratic senator says nineteen ninety two and while we see scenes of happiness and jubilation there lets just cross over to a scene so very different the location where roy moore is expected to speak to his discordant told and upset supporters there at the scene obviously dejected having now faced. A lecture making the senator much tighter race for trying to get legislation passed president trouble. Our correspondent she had returned see is a big about the list again and watching events listening to doug jones at amazing results really all that amazing night she had. With his kids i think. Really truly necessarily expected this to happen because its alabama as a result but i have to report some other breaking news that weve been hearing just over the last few minutes it appears and this is pretty house reach maybe of the judge roy moore the republican appointee. Change is not conceding the race to the ripple so to speak of him trying. To get bored because hes not you see people dont you dont see prices given the budget is so small and impose your menu fee official outlets all the races that you and and and so on are often regarded as fake by george bush based on the supposed to that they could probably make some sort of case its just not the fault of the golden bowl whose fate is conspiracy cases lets see how that develops but i do have a drone supporter with me Demetrius King is with me but you expect those sort of there to expect the citizens. Hadnt noticed a good bit of they were happy to have it. Just why didnt you expect too much we first found out about me has been a staple there were a long time to say it has been very hard for any democrat to leave here in the state alabama has had a democrat governor since the one nine hundred ninety two. And he ended up and that was the last point so its been they were all being a democrat to break the law in a state that would you make of these reports are we all giving birth to george bush smoke to see. An. Athlete just move well i believe but im not as well x. No way as all may actually be counted i dont know if thats what happens but i think hes probably going to have to access that right to see the pain and. Just get a recount as well we just heard james thanking his africanamerican constituents and weve been told. Through much of the campaign that although obviously democrats school very highly without amongst africanamericans turnout is necessarily down high probably because theres a sense it doesnt change anything at all africanamerican communities what a democrat wins because they only come in when the election comes around. Going to forget the African American just what do you think was different this time. Apathy. Will be the best a few years ago when the rock was president that was the oh i just. Have to a lot of people have seen especially by these come out and vote and i think people try. To take you there. From the rock bottom and i think a lot of people at. This have this i think. If you have their keep up with what you. Might be treated in such a way and i think it really gets having to that think its trying to have some relief from the outside very very easy to say ok so judge who is a racist sexist alleged paedophile today was it enough was enough for many voters but the space that alabama vocalist use about race for example a lot of white people do have them an extra bit to expose it seems a lot of College Educated white people were fine with the racism the idea that slaves view us better on the slavery has anything really changed just because a democrat who isnt a racist won this particular election all of them. And just more savage of fees and rights so it was nothing but at believe a lot of the types of people have been alabama is believed to be as pale as a people in a way that people think. In a media and when i say to me that i also feel that and so. I think alabama has saved. At all i dont think. I dont think its out of bases that people really think really. Hope to see great a lot of great things but the. Pictures stink thank you very much. Victory party here but how will it last if judge moore really is testing this will there be a recount put away for Donald Trumps response to all this steam. Now that his close to former advisor hes down here with the dog with george bush thats probably some Huge Campaign against not only the democrats but Establishment Republicans in washington big house as we speak this isnt over. For the moment she had thank you seems there was. Doug jones of course greeting those that have supported him on a very long run and certainly will get more on this of course were now waiting for more reaction we are getting that reaction in from the President Donald Trump who has apparently tweeted. Congratulations to doug jones on a hard fought victory the write in votes played a very big factor says President Trump with a win is a win that the people of alabama are great on the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time it never ends thats donald trump tweeting there very quickly in the late evening as it is there in the u. S. Well leave it there for now of course follow vence throughout the day that we grew much reaction to across the u. S. For that doug jones democratic with that. Lets move on to the days other news now the secretary of state Rex Tillerson says the u. S. Is ready to hold talks without preconditions with north korea to listen also said that the u. S. Has been in talks with china on pyongyangs Nuclear Program on thursday u. S. Special representatives expected to meet with a north korean official in thailand to listen is also expected to travel to the u. N. Later this week for talks on north korea law state public correspond was the jordan has more from washington d. C. The u. S. Secretary of state spoke extensively about the question of north korea and its Nuclear Weapons program at an event that was meant to focus just on that very global issue he was speaking in washington on tuesday afternoon and he indicated what many people are interpreting as a big change in u. S. Foreign policy the idea that the u. S. Is willing to sit down with north korea without preconditions if only to get the conversation started heres what the secretary had to say weve said from the diplomatic side were ready to talk any time north korea would like to talk and we are ready to have the first baiting without precondition lets just make unless we talk about the weather if you will talk about whether its going to be a square table or around table if thats what youre shouting about. But can we at least sit down and and see each other face to face but its important to note that what Rex Tillerson was saying does not mean that the u. S. Is changing its fundamental position reckoned north korea according to washington should not have any Nuclear Weapons at all and thats washingtons end game in any sort of negotiation but they have to come to the table and they have to come to the table with a view that they do want to make a different choice. In the meantime our military preparedness is strong also its worth pointing out that the u. S. By itself cannot just go ahead and negotiate some sort of denuclearization deal with the North Koreans this falls under the auspices of the United Nations and its a situation where the u. S. Would have to certainly consult with two of north koreas neighbors russia and china they also happen to sit on the u. N. Security council and have a vested interest in making certain that not only does north korea comply with existing resolutions which basically ban it from having Nuclear Warheads or Ballistic Missiles but also making certain that their own people in their own territory are facing this excess general threat from north korea late on tuesday however the white house issued a statement essentially saying that the u. S. President donald trump still sees north korea as an existential threat not just to the United States but to its closest neighbors south korea japan russia and china and he insisted in this white house statement that the toughest possible measures need to be used against pyongyang in order to persuade it to give up its Nuclear Weapons program once and for all. And also came up with a few provocative points over north korea during that speech in washington he said that the u. S. Has assured china that if u. S. Forces had to cross into north korea they would return to south korea he mentioned that beijing is taking steps to prepare for the possibility of mass influx of refugees fleeing the regime and he went on to say that while china is fully implementing sanctions u. S. President trump would like to see beijing cut off oil supplies to north korea much to discuss lets do that with kathy never call correspond to. Rex tillerson comments about the offer of talks with north korea come out on the heels of a u. N. Envoy Jeffrey Feltman who visited pyongyang last week what can we read into that. Well it seems unclear at this stage whether north korea would be open to these talks that are being floated because Jeffrey Feltman as you mention was the most senior u. N. Official to visit pyongyang in six years that was a significant visit and he came back saying that the officials that he spoke to in north korea did not offer any kind of commitments to talks he said he expected the foreign minister who he met to brief the leader kim jong un and that perhaps officials in north korea needed to digest what was discussed with that u. N. Official Jeffrey Feltman before making any further comment on the talks broadly the south korean position has been that it wants to push forward with more dialogue and more engagement with north korea under their correct circumstances so the south Korean Unification ministry that handles north korean policy today said that the south korea and the United States are on the same page when it comes to reaching a peaceful resolution to the north Korean Nuclear situation and if dialogue would help towards reaching that common goal that south korea would want to see talks going ahead as soon as possible but there are multiple players as you mentioned there china has a big role to play and the president of south korea in will be meeting the chinese leader xi jinping in beijing on thursday no doubt north korea will feature high in those discussions south korea shares the u. S. Position that it wants china to impose further sanctions against north korea and south koreas position is that thats not only to punish north korea but precisely to force north korea back to the negotiating table for these talks that were discussing and of course look the rhetoric couldnt be more different really could it be for north korea because they still have to they will be a Nuclear Superpower thats according to their leader. Well thats right this was a quote coming out of north korean state media quoting the leader kim jong un as he addressed in munitions conference saying that he wants north korea to be the worlds strongest Nuclear Power and military power jury in a speech celebrating recent achievements of the north Korean Nuclear and Missile Program when the latest i. C. B. M. Was recently launched north korean state media celebrated that as proving that north koreas missile and Weapons Development program it said was complete and were told by a state media again that the leader kim jong un has repeated that assertion whats interesting when it comes to talks is that many analysts have speculated that perhaps north korea has previously been unwilling to engage in any way with the International Community because it wants to make sure that before it does so it has the assurances that its Weapons Program is reliable and that it is viewed by many in the International Community as a defacto Nuclear State so with its celebrating these achievements saying that it has completed its Nuclear Program perhaps that puts it more in a position to be willing to come to the table for talks but as we heard from roslyn it seems that the ultimate goal of the United States and south korea for north korea to ultimately disarm seems unlikely when you hear the North Koreans talking about wanting to be the worlds strongest Nuclear Power so well for them over twenty will leave it. Kathy novak in seoul of course is still more to come here on there will continue to follow the same birmingham alabama where the democrats nobody there doug jones has one of the senate race who becomes a senator first time but the state has seen a democrat to win that state since ninety to ninety two we will continue to follow events in alabama and get reaction f
