Hello Donald Trumps refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he loses the november election is stirring more reaction from both sides of the political divide while the democrats have head out of the president s Senior Republicans have been distancing themselves from trumps remarks and promised an orderly transition of power but trump is once again questioning the fairness of postal voting our White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett has this report. The peaceful transfer of power between president s is a time honored tradition dating back to americas founding but its one donald trump refuses to endorse should he lose the november election you have to see what happens. On thursday citing fears of widespread ballot fraud and vote rigging the u. S. President again cast doubt on whether hell accept the results of the november poll we want to make sure the election is honest but im not sure that it can be i dont i dont know that it can be with this whole situation unsolicited ballots. His press secretary says trump will accept the results but with conditions the president will exact except the results of a free and fair election. How exactly the white house defines free and fair or is not clear casting grave uncertainty over the integrity of the vote trump is particularly concerned with mail in balloting which states are offering so voters dont have to travel to the polls during the coronavirus pandemic Top Republican and democrat leaders in congress on thursday tried to reassure voters on twitter Mitch Mcconnell the republican leader in the senate wrote there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every 4 years since 792 democrat House Speaker nancy pelosi went further criticizing trumps failure to commit to a peaceful transition you are not in saudi arabia you are in the United States of america it is a democracy.

Last night we had a number of protesters all gathered in the town square in Jefferson Park square as they call it here in front of city hall just after curfew and police swept in on all sides and thats where many of those more than a 120 people were arrested yesterday so today protesters have decided to do something a little different this square has been largely cleared out but this church here the 1st Unitarian Church in louisville has offered them sanctuary so you can see there are maybe a couple of 100 or so visible people out here who are taking sanctuary at the church and why are they doing that because police are cracking down very aggressively on the curfew at the end of this street there is a line of police injuring that anyone who leaves gets arrested on their way out the curfew is from 9 pm to 6 am and what theyre doing is anyone who decides to leave this Church Property is no longer in sanctuary and so they will arrest them and the idea for the protesters has been to own the streets who streets our streets that has been there chant the police have a strategy here and that is to keep them off the streets because theyve become very dangerous for the protesters nevertheless the protesters want to remain out here and speak their message.

Rival palestinian groups hamas and fatah have reached agreement to hold the 1st Palestinian Elections in 14 years the 2 groups want to form a united opposition against diplomatic deals israel has signed with the hurricane and the u. A. E. Thats angered palestinian groups who accuse their arab neighbors of betrayal the elections are due to be held within 6 months in a way the world and. Restoring our National Unity is a strategic and dialogue is the only course to take elections and a democratic process are the only means a clear cut agreement has been reached that elections on proportional representation basis are the most conceivable course to take with a timeframe no leaders in 6 months and brahim in ramallah says this isnt the 1st time the 2 groups have agreed to hold elections but a Senior Leader gibby to has talked about a consensus and agreement that has been reached between fatah and hamas to hold elections in stages 1st to start by just that the Council Elections the president ial ones and then the Palestinian National Council Elections which are. Expected to be including palestinians in that they all spur of course this announcement comes after a series of meetings between fatah and hamas the started with a press conference between the leaders in july in which they vowed to Work Together against israels plans to annex parts of your pride west bank 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. Tens of fire their meetings and say they really have so many limited options that they only hop to conciliation and unity as the only way forward but its its worth mentioning that this is not the 1st time to 2 ports is a 3 and talk about reconciliation and wanting to pull to elections lets now bring in mohamed always has joining us from washington d. C. Hes a palestinian american political analyst thanks for your time with us on our jazeera so of course the devil is in the details when it comes to these type of agreements and announcements but in your opinion how significant is this. Let me use one of the words you use devil and but when you use it. There are 34 devils here. Who are against it but again especially since theyre thinking of. Holding the selections there is the devil in washington d. C. At the white house and the devil they say you and mr cent be a 3rd the devil as. The the me or the the fact that the ruler of the United Arab Emirates with well how much is. That anyway. Unless to expel a sin you have to be there who works for the i married peace and as far as i know it works for the state is still against it palestinians meaning it when i say the palestinian state is the hamas and fatah. So ok so what youre saying were going to listen is there anything that there are there are many challenges that these elections are going to face but let me ask you about how i stand for themselves specifically do these groups have the political will now for these elections to succeed because as an adult was saying from our law there have been numerous attempts at reconciliation between the 2 groups. They have no choice but to go inside and to unite because there on them started with. President trump when he moved the American Embassy and be jealous of him and gave Carte Blanche to the Prime Minister of israel to our next lands and thats the Golan Heights and do whatever you want see how he does whatever he wants at will without the americans being it broke in fact i guess if i your president as you this honest broker and then he has to be the people for the blockade. Meaning. Not it who are big in this side all the israel is now and they are all over the social media backing the palestinians i mean they did not just ball with a peace deal so important peace deal with these failures no they have now. Social media farms i call them at backing the palestinians but let me let me say about the danger of sphere for only b. C. Elections there are the american the elections and i heard at the beginning of your broadcast you were talking about refusing to say that he will leave the white house even if he lost the elections that is one that will be any of the palestinians because you know that the americans and the israelis will be busy also with their whole who was and their environment. In israel for corruption and then you will have the American Ambassador and general servant who spoke about a form appointing go home at the last lives up with avi to be the head of the p. L. O. Without even elections so you have all these forces the money of the u. A. E. The means spend it of but not on your home and dishonest behavior of president ram playing against the palestinians and their people so yes you ok i will leave it there thank you very much her mother always 1st speaking to us from washington thank you.
