Sport one of the biggest football stars in the world you bring him a bitch test positive for coronavirus. Senior republicans and democrats are pushing back against donald trump after he refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in november the us president has repeatedly cast doubt on the legitimacy of mail in ballots and on bidens day he was a vase when he was asked about the possibility of losing the election. Well have to see what happens you know that ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are disaster and the people arriving commit 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 Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell was among republicans whove weighed in on twitter saying the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every 4 years since 1792 the House Speaker nancy pelosi whos a democrat says the president should on her his duty to the constitution but that a president of the United States would place in doubt the idea of the peaceful transfer of power and well its no surprise because the president has been contemptible of science and government ok lets speak to a White House Correspondent Kimberly Hall which is live for us in washington d. C. Have we ever had a situation where a president has said anything like this i had an election. Not really and so that is the concern of so many of us president the fact that he had the opportunity to bring down the temperature but did just the opposite when asked whether or not he would accept the outcome of the u. S. Election particularly if he did not win and the fact that he said he wasnt sure that he would leave open that possibility has certainly a nerve not only his critics but also members of his own party as you pointed out with the republican in the senate Mitch Mcconnell now the press secretary kelly mcenaney was asked about this in her press briefing in just the last hour she has sensually doubled down on the president s position saying that the president will accept the results but only have a free and Fair Election in other words leaving it in doubt if the president does not interpret the election as being free and fair he may not accept the results the press secretary going on to say that this isnt just unique to the president but also to some prominent democrats as well it including Hillary Clinton who she said and pointed out recently said that she believes that joe biden the democratic president ial nominee should under no circumstances concede so this is really left Many Americans sort of scratching their heads wondering how to interpret all of this as they see some of the most prominent members of both republican democrat parties socially saying that they may not feel comfortable about the outcome of the november 3rd vote its no secret of course they dont know who is very suspicious of 1000000 dollars bucks is a point to being too tweeting promoting merely in balloting in florida. Yeah well because its a battleground state and basically there is no path to victory for either donald trump or the democratic challenger joe biden except through florida as thats how pivotal this state is weve seen it in past u. S. Elections we saw it in 2016 that is why the president is sort of backtracking on his suggestion that in person balloting is the only way to accept the integrity of a u. S. Vote what weve got going on here is a reminder that this president has been inconsistent well he has certainly question the integrity of mail in balloting hes done it himself hes even advocating for it now you have to remember those comments he made back when he was in North Carolina where he seemed to get a lot of pushback for the fact that he had suggested even voting twice something that the White House Team is since backtracked on and we should point out is illegal the president saying then mailing your vote and then go on election day and see if it has been counted if it hasnt been counted then you can cast your ballot again so the president has been very inconsistent and this just adds to the confusion and once again the concerns about the integrity of that november 3rd president ial poll now is a bang up to all of this Kimberly Donald toms been paying his respects to the lady Justice Hughes better ginsburg at the Supreme Court. Now as you can possibly hear he received a slightly less than warm welcome people are shouting vote him in the background can you just tell us more about what happened here. Yes so the president was visiting the flag draped coffin and pay his last respects to an icon in the United States Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who of course died at the age of 87. 00 late last week of paying credit cancer she has had just thousands of people parading in the last couple of days past her casket to pay their respects the president included but you have to remember that she was a liberal justice that a champion of many liberal causes so many of the people in line are not founds of President Donald Trump and when they realized that he was standing there they began to chat to things what you heard there in that clip was vote him out but there was also another challenge on or her wish and very quickly what that wish was according to her granddaughter is that her replacement not be announced until after the u. S. Election that way the American Public has a say in the president and that president ial pick we know the u. S. President has cast doubt on that dying wish in fact he will be making his announcement on saturday of who he would like to see replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Kennedy thanks very much thats kitty hawk a lawyer in washington d. C. Ok lets go to another top story in the u. S. In a mans being charged with shooting 2 Police Officers during protests over the death of Briana Taylor the demonstrations broke out on wednesday after it was announced that 3 officers from louisville wouldnt be charged over her killing. But this isnt sparked outrage with the rallies across the u. S. From new york to washington d. C. On los angeles a black medical worker was shot dead in march when police opened far as the raiders have apartment only one of 3 officers will face any action 3 counts of endangering neighbors the mayor of louisville has called for calm but the city remaining under a curfew for 2nd night. What we saw last night with the 2 Police Officers being shot is obviously completely unacceptable violence will only be a source of pain not a cure for pain and we know that violence is never the answer our community is hurting many see brianna taylors case as both the tragic death of a young woman and the continuation of a long pattern of devaluation in violence that black women and men face in our country as they have historically the question obviously is what do we do with this pain there is no one answer no easy answer to that question but i do know this violence is not the answer and destruction is not the answer. Well john hendren is live for us in louisville so the 2nd night of curfew were talking about a city that has been very tense not just last night but over a period of weeks where do things stand on the streets of louisville no. Well its one day after those charges came down and louisville is Still Standing unlike what we saw in minneapolis after the death of george floyd unlike what we saw and no show wisconsin after the shooting and paralyzing of jacob blake both by police we have not seen widespread burning of buildings and looting and that is largely because the police and the National Guard and f. B. I. Swat teams maintained control you can see a National Guard truck back there there were several more a little earlier but there is no big Police Presence here the strategy seems to be not to be too terribly provocative there are city trucks here blocking the streets and if you look just across the street from those trucks at that hall of justice over there which is boarded up. People tried to set that building on fire yesterday you might be able to see a little blackening where that fire started but police came out and quickly put it down as they did 2 other fires that we saw set around and what you see here is sort of the beginning of the days protests those tend to start late but right now things are peaceful and calm and we havent had the kind of violence that weve seen in other cities we have had reaction from across the country President Trump address that saying he approved of those charges and joe biden said that we need to listen to the voice of Briana Taylor and her family but interestingly the man who shot at Police Last Night the man who allegedly did this suspect hes in jail who is not in jail is Brett Hankinson whos charged with 3 counts of Reckless Endangerment he paid if if. In 1000. 00 bond and now hes out and free and that is what outrages the crowds here and well find out later on today whether there will be another violation of curfew i expect there will be there generally is these things but what we havent seen is the kind of widespread violence that weve seen elsewhere john i know that you interviewed ben crump hes the lawyer for be on the to those families today what did he have to say. Ben crump said this is not justice for Briana Taylor he said it was an insult that nobody was charged directly in relation to her shooting death at the hands of swat team at her door he said it was an injury that on top of that the only charges were related to shooting into a neighboring apartment at a family of 3 which happened to be white which seems to just increase this Racial Division he also said he wanted to turn he wants the protesters to continue this movement and he wants to turn this movement into a moment once the protesters in his words to turn their pain into power and achieve changes in laws they want to a no knock warrant ban here and elsewhere in the United States and they want officers to wear their body cameras so that after an incident like this people know exactly what happened he also said that 2 other things are important on the National Level and that is this upcoming election he said its important to get somebody who appreciates civil rights that seemed to be a criticism of President Donald Trump and also he said its important to elect someone. As if to appoint someone as a Supreme Court justice in place of Ruth Bader Ginsburg who recently died who will also continue her person of civil rights so crump says this is really just the beginning there is a federal investigation of there could be charges as a result of that but he also says that they will continue fighting across the nation to change the laws. Lets dont 100 bringing this up to date from louisville over the city remain under curfew for a 2nd right. Thailands parliament has decided to delay discussions and whether to amend the constitution protesters have been running for hours outside parliament in bangkok as politicians debate and possible changes there the latest in weeks of demonstrations calling for reform of the monarchy and an end to military involvement in government the prime ministers a former military chief who led a coup 6 years ago when he has more from the capital bangkok. These protesters once again came out in big numbers on to the streets of the thai capital bangkok this time outside parliament to try to apply pressure on the members of parliament and also the 250 senators to vote for constitutional change something that these people have been calling for for months now and a large protest that they have been holding so what we have seen inside over the course of 2 days is a process where 6 different proposals from Political Parties were presented to those m. P. s and senators for discussion those proposals looking at various changes to the constitution that process was supposed to culminate in a vote on those constitutional changes instead we have a vote but the vote was to postpone this entire process for at least another month while a committee can be formed to take a closer look at those constitutional changes all those proposed changes that vote to postpone was led and called for by a Senior Member of the ruling party so its certainly not going to go down well with the antigovernment protesters and this is likely to lead to even more larger protests in the week saying. Well done for science is a Southeast Asia expert at the London School of economics is joining me now by skype is good to have you with us thank you very much indeed what do you think 1st of all the parliament decided to delay this decision well its probably because. By the Congress Iraq policy which is the military status quo policy im a loss he may want to do. Oh im sorry about that we seem to have lost our skype line to emphasize whos professor of Environmental Development at the London School of economics and politics we might be able to try and get him back later on in the show but in the money meantime were going to move on and there is plenty more ahead on the news hour including a mozambique asking for european help to fight on groups who forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. Plus 3 of their family members were killed by indian soldiers why the military has begun Disciplinary Proceedings against their own. Kind in support action from the n. B. A. Playoffs including a polaroid performance from a player called hero. By the groups hamas and fatah say theyve reached a deal to hold the 1st Palestinian Elections in 14 years the votes are expected to be settled within 6 months the last parliamentary elections in 26. 00 so hamas win an unexpected majority and lead to a conflict with fatah well lets go live to new abraham in the ramallah and the occupied west bank needed just give us an idea of what is behind all this. Senior leaders to us talked about the consensus and agreement that has been reached between fatah and hamas to hold elections in stages 1st to start by the just that the Council Elections the president ial ones and then the Palestinian National Council Elections which are expected to be including the palestinians and that they also are of course this announcement comes hours after a series of meetings between fatah and hamas the started with a press conference between Senior Leaders in july in which they vowed to Work Together against israels plans to annex parts of your pride west bank of course events after that continued and the palestinians were surprised with the announcement of the u. A. E. And beheading signing normalization deals with israel and that has led to the hen house to intensify their meetings and say they really are so many limited options that they only hop to conciliation immunity was the only way forward but its its worth mentioning that this is not the 1st time the 2 ports is agree and talk about conciliation and wanting to pull to elections but as for a political analyst this is the 1st time weve heard that we hear the word president ial to the president Mahmoud Abbas is due to speak at the United Nations General Assembly on friday and hes expected to be talking about the president ial decree in regards to these elections and to conciliation and this is why some of these political analysts weve spoken to believe that there is a better chance this time mr conciliation than any other announcement that has been made or agreement that has been made in the past 13 years of all of this split between the palestinians and this is why also many palestinians a majority of them have to will have said in a poll that they really do believe these are conciliation efforts will be successful needed thanks very much indeed. For us in the ramallah. Ok let me take you back to thailand and those protests which have been forcing parliament to delay plans to amend the constitution we can go back to 10 for a scythe is the Southeast Asia expert at the London School
