Reacting fast enough. And israel tightens its 2nd nationwide knocked down further banning protests and ordering all nonessential businesses to close. With one of the biggest football stars in the world. For coronavirus. A senior republican politicians in the United States have been promising an orderly transition if donald trump loses novembers president ial election this after the president refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power during wednesdays White House BriefingSenate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell tweeted that there will be a peaceful handover of power as there has been every 4 years since 792 leaving the white house a short while ago trying again questioned the fairness of postal voting. We want to make sure the election is honest and im not sure that it cant be i dont i dont know that it can be with this whole situation until is it valid there unsolicited a big sense to everybody who will say but if you remember Hillary Clinton just a week ago or so dove joe biden did not accept the results of the election under any circumstances but you dont ask her that why should you only have the the right. Opposition democrats are united in their condemnation of trump including the senate nita Chuck Schumer everyone from schoolchildren to the most senior among us know that the peaceful transfer of power is one of democracys core attributes there is no democracy without it and like the rule of law the separation of powers checks and balances everything we have learned that is great and noble about our system in government President Trump has sullied diminished and now he threatens to actually dismantle the grave is threat to american democracy right now is donald trump a White House Correspondent kimberly how could says trump may decide to interpret the phrase free and Fair Election in a way that suits him. The u. S. President has said that he really 1st of all believes that there will be a continuation of the words he doesnt kill lose but what hes done is said that if i do lose it may suggest that there was vote rigging that there was fraud and this is something the president has done for weeks now is suggested that because of mail in ballot being due to cope with 19 the fact that many people dont want to stand in line for in person balloting that the results could be questionable now the White House Press secretary kelly machinating was asked about this she said that the president would accept the results of an election but only with conditions the president will accept the result of a free and Fair Election he will accept the will of the American People who loses and its free and fair he will accept i have answered your question he will accept the results of a free and Fair Election now its important to point out that the interpretation of free and fair could be very broad and interpreted in a number of different ways leaving open the possibility once again that the president may not accept the results now the other thing the White House Press secretary did in her briefing was point to the fact that it is not just the republican president but also some prominent democrats who are casting doubt on the election pointing to the fact that donald trump is challenger and 2016 Hillary Clinton has in more recently said that she believes that joe biden the current democratic president ial nominee should not accept the results essential he should not concede under any circumstances so what weve seen for americans here the bottom line here is that prominent members of both the republican and also the Democrat Party have really undermined the credibility of elections at a time when americans are looking for some leadership and also some certainty as they approach this very important what could be a potentially pivotal vote. Donald trump pages respects to the nate Supremes CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg whose coffin is on display in washington d. C. He received a less than warm welcome with protesters chanting the vote him out trump says he will announce this weekend his nominee to replace Justice Ginsburg who was a liberal and strong advocate of womens rights she had requested to but her replacement be chosen by the winner of the embassy election. Joining us now via skype from washington d. C. Is republican strategist and consultant when the shah has publicly endorsed joe biden rather than Donald Trump Thanks very much for being with us so there has been quite a pushback from Senior Republicans against this idea that there might not be a peaceful transition of power why how significant is this though in terms of the fact that hes part thomas said this and the fact that republicans are reacting against it. Would put them where. The dems peeking out now does not really matter i dont know what they can do to ensure that there is a peaceful transition of power when we know for sure that this senate under the leadership of Mitch Mcconnell has done nothing to secure our elections from border interference that was the 1st step they could have taken and they have not taken that step in these 4 years so now its you know a daily than a dollar short as we like to say here in the states and we are in a moment of great crisis we are in a moment of a constitutional crisis almost if you will and i believe that republicans are welcoming it because it would be to their advantage particularly to trumps advantage to prolong this election i mean nutriment has made various comments in the last few months if he suggests the election might need to be delayed and then some of the pain saying it wont be fair now this just about the chance or not happening what kind of checks and balances are there that that would prevent a president who lost from from clinging on to power. Well it would ultimately be in the hands of congress but this is a very very murky situation here because so much of our democracy relies on good faith good faith of elected officials and i think that because what happens within 35. 00 days of the election state legislators have to certify elect tours to be sent off to the federal government and theyd be easer the electors who will elect the president now those electors typically rely on the popular vote but what trump can do is in swing states where the state legislators are largely republican theyre controlled by republicans he can say to them get electors that are ours and ultimately send electors that vote for trump so this is a very real scenario one that not Many Americans are familiar with and then we have essentially defecting of the election by the current president what we see hes doing is setting the stage to prove that there is rampant corruption right now that is one tactic in strategy hes using another one is to hopefully prolong the election and do that very thing that i just talked about with state elect george ultimately the Supreme Court will decide but were down one justice and that is why he won the 9th one because he believes he will have the advantage there is a flaw there is a flaw and that flaw is that the justices could rule against term. In whats your impression of how this is playing as you go to an eye on the republican camp in this case youre supporting a democrat that does does this whole rouse strengthen bidens chances or doesnt appeal to trump space enough to mobilize them even more. Well look ill tell you what really is going to mobilize trance state more than anything else it is going to be the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg the justice its debt has really really brought it down to the core of what its always been about which of voters its been about conservative judges and justices votes that will help overturn the laws that govern abortion in this nation that is what conservatives have largely wanted lets not forget that Todays Republican Party is dominated by antiabortion folks there is been a very very small group of people within the Republican Party lifelong republican like myself who are actually pro abortion we are prochoice and so when i look at the Republican Party i think there are quite mixed in being able to get another justice out of this president before november 3rd and that is what i think there is no stopping there have been 2 senators that have said they do not believe we should do this and those are female senators who are republicans however nobody else the to see the big problem and the hypocrisy rhenish i thank you very much indeed for talking to us options there certainly thanks for having me andrew vale is bracing for a 2nd night of protests over the decision not to charge Police Officers for the death of briana tayla one man has been charged of a shooting and injuring 2 Police Officers during protests in the kentucky city on wednesday night the rest began after a grand jury decided against charges for 3 offices for the black womans death during a drug raid in march 1 officer was charged for endangering taylors neighbors 120. 00 protest as for arrested overnight with demonstrations taking place in several other cities maryvale is called for calm as the city approaches another not time caffeine what we saw last night with the 2 Police Officers being shot is obviously completely unacceptable by alliance 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 but 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 was going after john hendren and louisville kentucky and that 1st night of protests that happened where do things stand illustrates now. Well im standing exactly the right place to answer that question that is the jail conveniently close to the Center Square where most people are protesting and where most of the 127 people who were arrested overnight wednesday were found and that was because they were violating the curfew so out of that door you see people come one at a time and if we happen to see one youll hear the crowd cheering each individual as they come out so most of the people in there were arrested for violating curfew some of them were arrested for violating orders to disperse in the middle of the day but really it was a mostly peaceful night with one major kaviak police have charged one man with firing at Police Officers striking in injuring 2 who are recovering today one of them is out of hospital the other remains there i would other than that we havent seen the kind of massive violent response burning that we saw in minneapolis minnesota after the death of george florida or in konoha wisconsin after the shooting in paralyzing of jacob blake so police have come here in force youve got National Guard state police and youve also got the local Louisville Police all manning the streets and being very aggressive. In. Holding that curfew they they issue orders to disperse of people dont disperse they go ahead and arrest them on mass and thats what happened after the curfew last night they gave people about an hour to protest and then they came in with horses and officers and arrested them there were a couple attempts to set fire one of them to a court house police put those out very quickly and so what you have here is a day after a night of largely peaceful protest here and of course across the country and that means the focus is on the message of the protesters and that message is that the lack of charges for the shooting of Briana Taylor is simply not enough and tony i interviewed ben crump to know if brown a tennis family stay what detail have to say. Crump said that what happened was adding insult to injury injury because there were no charges against the officers for shooting and killing Briana Taylor insult because the only charges that were levied were 1000. 00 in danger made against one officer who fired into apparently indiscriminately into a neighboring apartment where 3 people lived happen to be a white family in that case and he says thats simply an inadequate response he says he wants to see the information that was presented to the grand jury to see if prosecutors aggressively pursued the prospect of charges against the officers who fired on Briana Taylor and he says that he wants the movement in this street to become he wants this moment to become a movement in the street he said the election was very important to the people who were protesting and to him personally to advance the cause of civil rights and he also said that despite the fact that Brianna Taylors family got a 12000000. 00 settlement thats not the best way to hold Police Accountable this is what he said. If theyre held accountable if they are arrested and put in prison we believe that will serve as a deterrent for future kim and future. That we see have every much and america if not every week. Has represented and number of people involved a number of africanamericans black people here in the us who have had confrontations with police that have either resulted in death in the case of george floyd or wounding in the case of jacob blake and he says he keeps seeing this in theres not the kind of systematic change that he says it is needed and to do that he says people have to vote this november and they have to emphasize civil rights when it comes to the Supreme Court appointment that will nominate a successor to Ruth Bader Ginsburg the president president of trump is planning on going ahead with that crump says the American Public led by the people out here in the streets has to call for change john hendren thank you very much indeed.
