Now beginning this news hour in the United States where Senior Republicans are distancing themselves from Donald Trumps refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the election in november the president was a vase of when asked about it on wednesday. Well have to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges esther and the people arriving committed to making sure that theres a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and youll have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there wont be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else the Republican SenateMajority Leader Mitch Mcconnell weighed in on twitter just over an hour ago he said the winner of the election will be inaugurated in january after an orderly transition just as there has been since 792 lets speak to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hawkins live for us in washington d. C. As ever been an occasion when a president has said this prior to an election. Not in modern history and that is what is the concern of so Many Americans on both the right and the left what you read there from Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader the Top Republican in the u. S. Senate is essentially what many were looking to the u. S. President to do and that is to reassure americans that the cornerstone of american democracy that peaceful transition of power is still going to occur and what happened in that wednesday press conference with the u. S. President donald trump is that he didnt do that he did just the opposite he suggested not only that he felt that there would be a continuation that he would win the election but that he may not accept the results of the election now the u. S. President has repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the election given the fact that he says he feels uncomfortable with mail in voting that he believes that there is the potential for fraud but given that there is the pen devotee of the United States that so Many Americans do not feel comfortable with in person voting because of concerns about needing to social distance that they are turning to mail in ballots of a scale weve not seen in recent memory so this is what the president has done essentially thats what his critics are arguing is that he has undermined the integrity of the vote that he may not accept the results of the vote that is why we see the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell swooping in to try to reassure americans in the absence of the president doing what is traditionally the role of the president meanwhile President Trump has been paying his respects to a Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died at the age of 87. 00 after a battle with pancreatic cancer he was at the Supreme Court and i understand that he was heckled by some members of the public when he was there tell us about what happened. Yeah this was really astonishing and it seemed to be an uncomfortable moment for President Trump along with 1st lady malani a trump what happened was the u. S. President was standing behind the flag draped coffin of the beloved Ruth Bader Ginsburg of course a liberal justice who is really an iconic. Role model for so many women in the United States and for days there have been lines draped or wrapped around the block of people paying their respects to her as the president did but when he did many of the supporters of Ruth Bader Ginsburg began to boo him they began to chant vote him out and they also chanted honor her wish what are they talking about there will reportedly Ruth Bader Ginsburgs crown daughter understood from Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the moments before she died that her dying wish was to have her replacement named after the u. S. Election in other words letting the American People have their voice in choosing a president and that president could then in fact make the Supreme Court replacement or pick now the u. S. President has said he is not going to do that and this is constitutional duty to fill this spot before the election something hes promised to do very swiftly in fact were looking ahead to saturday when he will name his pick but in the midst of all of this many people saying that that is not the wishes of the Supreme Court justice and as he paid her respects they reminded him of that company hold could bring us up to date from washington d. C. Kimberly thanks very much indeed. Ok lets go to another top story in the us and 6 months on from the killing of Briana Taylor protesters are coming out again 3 Police Officers from louisville kentucky will not be charged over her death thats a decision that sparking outrage. Protests began within hours of the decision in cities from new york to washington d. C. And los angeles the black medical worker was shot dead in march when police opened fire as they raided her apartment only one of 3 officers will face any action 3 counts of endangering taylors neighbors well beyond a taylors killing is just one incident in case after case of Us Police Violence against black people last month protests erupted in can no show wisconsin after jacob black was shot in the back 7 times that he survived but hes paralyzed Michelle Brooks was shot dead and Atlanta Georgia in june as he ran from police the officer who opened fire has been charged with murder in may george floyd died in minneapolis when an officer knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes the killing triggered protests worldwide 4 officers have been charged floyds last words i cant breathe what an echo of eric garner 6 years ago he died when a new york city policeman put him in a choke hold his death helped launch the black lives Matter Movement and made icon to breathe a rallying cry was jacksons an associate professor of history and africanamerican studies at Georgetown University he says the u. S. Judicial system has failed yet again. As the brother toad is going to look at this is going to get is they would have planned was founded. I dont know initiatives will i mean we were hopeful. Oh oh decent people i think hope for but i dont know placard say that you. Didnt act anyways then it did but not charged was just so simple i think from point out the want to charge the wanton disregard was charged against a Police Pursuit ing into an apartment above night and brianna kills apartment for shooting into a white Person Department it happens all the time so what happens now i think that every civil rights leader every labor leader every womans leader every every progressive leader has to get on some type cause and do 2 things call for a massive turnout in this particular election but here the other thing and i think this is where smith the president of state said yesterday that regardless of what happened in this election he would not accept it so in essence he is calling for balance hes calling for civil war this is just catastrophic in the news mean others not paying attention to it and say this on it on the eve of a verdict i would not accept what the American People say you see so so no nothing surprises me now when it comes to this decision i do expect. Good people to come out and peacefully protest but balance. I think that that by the attention to want to want to max takes away from the balance of killing this young single black woman want to marry in her apartment as she lay in bed nothing is more balanced than nothing is more fundamental than a right to live in your home in peace.

Over a military strongly condemn such an atrocity and strongly demands north korea provide explanations and punish those who are responsible south koreas president ial office has called for an apology but part of the problem across the d. M. Z. At the moment is because relations have soured north korea has cut all of the hotlines between north and south the incident also seems to indicate the fear that exists in north korea of covert 19 because south korean officials report that the soldiers on board the north korean vessel were wearing gas masks and the fact that they burnt the body of this official seems to indicate they are prepared to go to extraordinary lengths not to allow the coronavirus to be brought d into north korea russian authorities have seized the assets of Opposition Leader alexey novelli as part of a lawsuit against him a spokeswoman says Bank Accounts have been frozen and as moscow apartment has been taken the ban has just been discharged from a berlin hospital where he was being treated for poisoning with a nerve agent is not a shock the kremlin denies involvement.
