And is the most advanced mars mission yet but nasa is already tackling a Technical Glitch on the perseverance rover. Donald trump is being condemned by democrats and Senior Republicans for suggesting a delay to novembers u. S. President ial election many states want to make postal voting easier because of Coronavirus Health concerns but trump insists without heavens that men and voting will lead to a rigged result White House CorrespondentKimberly Hauck it has more. Even by his old. Standards his tweet was nothing short of astonishing on thursday u. S. President donald trump suggested the november president ial election should be postponed alleging potential fraud associated with mail in voting trump tweeted delay the election until people can properly securely and safely vote the president has no Legal Authority to change the election date leading even members of trumps own Republican Party in congress to scoff at the prospect well never in the history of the country through wars depressions and the civil war if we ever had a federal. Election on. And well find a way to do that again this november 3rd no way should we ever not hold an election from claims that voters identity cant be verified and that a voter might cast more than one ballot i dont want to delay i want to have the election but i also dont want to have to wait for 3 months and then find out that the ballots are all missing and the election doesnt mean anything this was going to happen see if its common sense so were asking for a lot of trouble and no do i want to see a day change no but i dont want to see a crooked election but President Trump may have had another motive for his incendiary tweet up ending negative News Headlines its been another week of gloomy economic numbers for a president hoping to cruise to reelection on a Strong Economy now obliterated by business shutdowns caused by colvin 19 poll numbers are also not trumps favor most show him trailing the Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee joe biden by double digits on thursday will biden didnt address trumps push to delay the election he did blame trump for the historic job losses that have left more than 20000000 americans without work. Because trump so badly mishandled the covert virus and caused spyros you can there is no money to be able to keep necessary people employed its not the 1st time trump has expressed reservations about the upcoming president ial election earlier this month he said he may not accept the results of the november poll can you give a direct answer you will accept feel like i have to see you i have to see you know im not going to just say yes im not a saint and i did last time either with less than 95. 00 days until election day the president suggestions are causing consternation for an already an easy electorate looking to uphold the american tradition of a peaceful transfer of power can really help get aljazeera the white house or former u. S. President barack obama has been speaking about trumps efforts to discourage mail in voting during the pandemic without mentioning him by name obama says the same forces that oppose civil rights and i working to restrict black americans from voting has been speaking at the Funeral Service of civil rights icon john lewis. We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to cast a ballot. But even as we sit here there are those in power who are doing their darndest. To discourage people from voting. By closing polling locations and totaling minorities and rigorously divide it all that attacking our Voting Rights the surgical procedure even on the mind of the hospital over the right up to the election. Thats going to be dependent on mail in ballots so people dont get sick elizabeth i think there is an associate professor of american studies and Political Science at the George Washington university she says tongues comments erode trust in the democratic process he certainly trying to. Divert attention from the fact that his own poll numbers are very low that economy is doing badly which is partly what he thought he was going to be able to run on to secure a 2nd term and we also know that trump personally have a big difficulty actually accepting failure or taking responsibility for things so i already starting to see to make claims about voter fraud its another way for him not to have to take responsibility for it for whether or not hes actually going to do this or the election but we do know that this kind of rhetoric even if its being used as a deflection tactic can have very dangerous effects because it continues to undermine Peoples Trust in the democratic process the trust that has already been frayed do you know theres also as obama had mentioned a huge amount of Voter Suppression that were seeing up close things like where polling places in minority neighborhoods where there used to be. You know 50 polling places lets say 10 years ago are now down to 5 polling place this and so were seeing that shrinkage particularly important minority neighborhoods and combined with a lot of that attempt to restrict voting there are you know serious concerns about Voter Suppression there usually groups who have already been marginalized from u. S. Politics. Well as weve been mentioning Donald Trumps suggestion that the president ial election be delayed came minutes after news of the sharpest downturn in the u. S. Economy since the 940. 00 s. Gross domestic product shrunk 9. 5 percent in the 2nd quarter as the country struggles to contain the pandemic and another 1400000 americans filed jobless claims last week there will arizona has more from new york. To see how badly the u. S. Economy is doing all you have to do is look at this parking lot full of empty new york city taxis because of the pandemic and slow economic recovery ridership was down over 90 percent last month. There are 15000 taxis in new york city 4 out of every 5 of them are parked because of a lack of passengers leaving thousands of drivers without a livelihood nobody is working because nobody in the road. Is not a normal life in april congress pumped trillions of dollars into the u. S. Economy with the expectation that come july coronavirus would be over and thered be a major upswing in Economic Activity that as it turns out was a miscalculation and didnt happen even in new york city the normally bustling streets remain mostly quiet with Economic Activity way below its prepared demick levels this even after new york once the covert epicenter but no more unlike much of the rest of america the virus is mostly contained in new york with a one percent infection rate the lowest anywhere in the u. S. Still for ashok kumar even though his flour store reopened after being closed for months during the shutdown things are not back to normal far from it still bad i have. Got to put 30 to 40. 60 percent of the loss the business because all of that stuff that everything is for now few people have money to spend and those who can choosing not to and an economy still in deep recession. New york. Here city florida is reporting a Record Number of covert 19 deaths for the 3rd straight day another 253 people have died with nearly 10000 new cases florida is one of the worst hit states but its republican governor is refusing to impose widespread lockdowns the state has shut down some Testing Centers because a Tropical Storm is due to hit land in the coming days france has reported nearly 1400 new coronavirus cases for a 2nd day in a row theres also been an increase in patients admitted to intensive care for the 1st time in 4 Months HealthOfficials Say the virus is spreading faster since france eased lockdowns in may and theres been the highest daily jump in cases in spain since lifting its lockdown last month more than a 1000 infections were confirmed for a 2nd day in a row 1200 cases were recorded on thursday mostly from the catalonia and out again regions in the northeast. Well millions of people in chile dipping into their Pension Funds to help them get through the financial fallout from the pandemic the government approved changes to the law so those who lost jobs can withdraw up to 10 percent of those savings in america at its embassy in yemen reports in the capital since jago. On the 1st day the chileans were allowed to withdraw up to 10 percent of their Retirement Savings and flown to a spinor south wasted no time queuing outside of his private Pension Fund Office get the money i dont like to dip into my pension but we cant depend on the government for everything so i want to access my own money especially since the private Pension Funds have filled their pockets at our expense for decades but nothing is more unpopular in chile than the mandatory a. F. P. s or private Retirement Funds which with rare exceptions deliver what most described as starvation pensions. The a. F. P. s were untouchable to last week when Congress Approved a landmark constitutional amendment allowing people to access some of their contributions for the next year but if they then might have been on medical leave since march and i havent received any government benefits im not getting my full wages to pay for my medicine and my upcoming surgery so this is very necessary for me. Outside of this fund mainly migrants queued for hours to ask for a password to access their accounts many of them a haitians out of work and desperate for cash. I have no work anymore but have to keep paying their rent eating and bag necessities without money you cant survive. The moment the process is supposed to be totally online so that people wont have to queue especially under the lockdown that still in force in most of the country but with more than a 1000000 people trying to access their money simultaneously on just the 1st day the process is painfully slow as im finding out right here in some cases the funds web pages have crashed completely. Or in this case it says there are more than a 1065000 people ahead of me. Whether its in line or on line people are being told to be patient something not so easy when resorting to your life savings has become your only option. To see a new when aljazeera sente out.

China is warning the u. K. Youre either with us or against us the countrys ambassador in london says disagreements in hong kong and far away poisoned relations between the 2 but he didnt specify how china could make life difficult for britain for a challenge reports from london. A cold war mentality poisoning relations interfering in chinese internal affairs those were a few of the accusations leveled at the u. K.
