A cease fire in ethiopia is to grey region where hundreds of died and thousands are fleeing into saddam. Welcome to the program, the u. S. President elect joe biden has called Donald Trumps refusal to concede the president ial election as an embarrassment. But biden says nothing will stop the transfer of power in january, and thats despite the trumpet, ministrations reportedly refusing to assist the president elects transition team. Allan fisher has more from washington d. C. Well, donald trump is keeping a low profile. Joe biden is putting himself front and center. This was an event to discuss the Affordable Care act. But the president elect questions on other topics and he had a message to the man he will replace. And his refusal to accept the result. I just think its an embarrassment. Great, frankly. The only thing that how can we say this tax . I think it will help the president s legacy. I think that i know from my discussions with foreign leaders of us for that they are hopeful that the United StatesDemocratic Institutions are viewed once again as being strong and endure. And, but i think at the end of the day, you know, its all going to come to fruition in january 20th. All foreign leaders, a calling joe biden to congratulate him. Trump, secretary of state americas top diplomat, has called the result into question. It will be a smooth transition to a 2nd term of mr. Action. Right, were already at the world is watching whats taking place that were going to count all the votes. When the process is complete, electors selected, theres a process, the constitution lays it out pretty clearly. Various Government Agencies and departments its been reported have been ordered by the white house not to help with the president ial transition. Because in its view, the result is still in doubt. That hasnt stopped joe biden, pushing ahead with planning for day one, even without the immediate assistance of the chump administration. And the leader of the republicans in the senate says the dili want to create problems. I dont think anything that occurred so far in iraqs an ordinary process of moving through the various steps that i indicated and allowing if there is a new administration to work through the transition, all of these steps to be taken at the appropriate of this election has already seen a lot of legal challenges there might be another one coming as the fighting campaign considers going to court to force Donald Trumps team to start planning for the handover of power. Alan fischer. Aljazeera washington. Bruce fein as a former u. S. Associate Deputy Attorney general and constitutional lawyer joins us from washington. D. C. Via skype. Good to have you with us on the program again, mystifying the president is adamant that hes going to prove that there was election fraud. So from the facts, the evidence in the interviews presented to be it from a distance. Whats your opinion of the strength of his case . The opinion is its just hot air and noticed that he has his secretary of state who is not a lawyer. Pronounce that theyll be a 2nd, trump administration, secretary of state has no clue the laws and procedures. The court case is under way. He attorney general, who would be inclined to make a Statement Like that. Mr. Barr, who is a loyalist, has made no such statement. Ive looked at the case is there already been close to a dozen which have resulted in dismissals of the allegations because there isnt evidence to prove illegal voting even in the cases that have not yet been dismissed or even the ones that may be filed in the future, the number of votes at stake is far, far too miniscule, to affect the outcome of the election in any particular state. Take pennsylvania, for instance. Probably the strongest claim that 3 day window that was extended past election day for receiving mail and ballots by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court may have overstepped the bounds. But mr. Biden has 50000 vote margin there. And if you discard all of those window vote, its maybe 2 or 3000. So this is just campaigning to raise money, perhaps to help the georgia senatorial elections or keep trump relevant. But the legal cases are going nowhere. And mr. Trumps statement that hes going to get the Supreme Court to intercede is completely facetious. The Supreme Court will stand aside. So, as we watch the events unfold between the president and the president elect, it seems very annoying to announce to the view outside of the u. S. That the u. S. Really calling get its house in order on this is jeopardizing your reputation as a nation. And joe biden, as alluded to that well, it to some degree, but its partly because of understanding about how our electrolyse elect, our Electoral College works. Its not a direct election, you get the one with the majority votes, and thats the end of the game. We have an orderly process on december 8th. These various states, 50 states in the district of columbia will certify the winners and send those documents to the secretary of state and to the leadership in congress on december 14th, about a month from now, the electors will meet in the various states and cast their votes and then january 6th, a joint session of congress will count the vote. So theres nothing that in the law that requires a president to concede earlier than these dates other than his own decency. And you cant expect that from mr. Trump, but we do have a very orderly process. Things are moving forward. Theres not been violence despite all the verbal pyrotechnics of mr. Trump and sound business associates. Were going to make sure that not any illegal votes are counted and they havent been. The process is working as it should work. In fact, myself, im in washington d. C. Ive been stunned at how peaceful, given the demonstrations after the George Floyd Killing and the rancor during the campaign. How peaceful its been. Didnt have any trouble voting. Theres been no riots. No violence in the streets or anything like that. Well, lets hope it stays that way for the forseeable future. Bruce fein, always good to get your insights on. Of course, well be monitoring this result in the ongoing count until its set to fight until december. Thanks very much. Thank you. Now the u. S. Supreme court heard republican objections to the Affordable Care act. On tuesday, donald trump has long pledged to scrap his predecessors signature achievement, but some conservative judges have already signaled that and likely to strike down the law. She had pretense, he explains, estimated that some 23000000 people would lose their Health Coverage if the Affordable Care act was found to be unconstitutional. Some gathered outside the Supreme Court as oral arguments were heard virtually by the justices to explain what was at stake. Like maura riley, whose past seizures might make her ineligible for Health Insurance without obamacare and got hit with ambulance about 900. 00 again for a one hour for a 5 minute ambulance ride and a hospital bill for almost 30000. 00 for one night in the hospital. Plus every idea of other medical bills from specialists and doctors, and thanks for that, you know, maybe 30 hours and a half. But if the 8 struck down over the coming days coming weeks, i will finally be without Health Insurance. A particular focus of the protest as fears was the supremes, coots, newest member, amy kearney, barrett, shes been critical of 2, previous rulings upholding the a. C. L. U. Against republican challengers. However, as it turned out, it was a different Trump Nominee who made the most significant contributions to the proceedings. Brett kavanaugh, his questioning, strongly suggested that even if a majority of justices agreed that the plaintiffs had a case and that whats called the individual mandate in the a cia, the requirement for all americans to have Health Insurance was unconstitutional. Kavanah didnt feel that would invalidate the rest of obamacare looking or several buildings precedence. It does seem fairly clear that the proper remedy would be to sever the mandate provision and leave the rest of the employees. The provisions regarding preexisting conditions and the rest chief justice john roberts, also expressed skepticism of the republicans arguments together with cavanagh and the court 3 liberal justices. They could form a majority to preserve the in delaware president elect joe biden weighed in this effort to bypass the will of the american people, the verdict of the courts in the past. The judgments of congress, in my view is simply cruel and needlessly device. Joe biden was among the 1st to, congratulate his then both president barack obama won the a c. , a became law in 20 term against republican objections. But a decade later, even by going except that with at least 30000000 still uninsured despite obamacare change is needed. And now his supporters hope hell be able to keep a Campaign Promise to use the a. C. S. Private insurance model as a basis for reform.

No, said he been entrusted with a legitimate vote to defend the nation. This is momentum. We do this in a public place. This is a difficult time for the country. People have expectations and they look at us worried that the crisis isnt deniable. We must act maturely with, you know, i should, peruvians elections will be held in april and that he will respect the rule of law.

The one person, many believe could bring honesty to government, has been impeached and removed from office because carter was the only president who had the strength to put things in order.

But in neighboring armenia has been described as a disaster out of dylan mead has more from yet over like it or not. Its a nation in shock. Many baffled that their media has signed an agreement they see as humiliating. And for some the anger was too much to contain. By Early Morning protestors started to arrive in front of parliament. I dont know how this nation believes this man says, calling on people to rise up. Emotions were high, and soon the anger turned into calls for a Prime Minister to resign among the people here, veterans of the 1st war, thereby journ in the early 1990, s. Mothers of soldiers who recently died and displaced people from nagornokarabakh. Mina and her mother bear to are dismayed. They left their hometown of stepan, occurred by jan at the beginning of the fighting. Her father stayed behind the other, a much harsher as many articles on the one who signed this agreement didnt ask our opinion. He signed it in secret, its a crime. I want to return there.

Every day we were given good news and suddenly this happens. Good or bad. I dont know, but i dont want an agreement at the price of all those innocent children who died. It should have been done earlier. He needs to answer questions. Some of the russian peacekeepers have already they will be deployed in to guarantee to cease fire.
