Towards the Congress Building in guatemala, as anger grows over budget cuts for Health Services and education. The u. S. Secretary of state to hold separate talks with the Afghan Government and the taliban just hours after 8 people were killed in a nice letter back. In kabul donald trump has suffered another cold loss in his attempt to overturn the results of the u. S. President ial election. A district judge in pennsylvania has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the trunk campaign which saw attack skloot millions of mail in ballots in the state. The judge issued a scathing ruling saying it failed to provide evidence of voter fraud. The Charm Campaign has now lost or withdrawn. Dozens of similar lawsuits. Mike hanna, is live for us now in washington. D. C. Yet another blow for the campaign. Mike, but this might be part of the strategy, is trump trying to fail upwards of maybe trying to get this to the supreme court. Do you think well, it would appear to be the strategy. Lets put it very clearly here, is that in more than 30 cases that the trunk campaign or republicans have brought after the elections, they have not succeeded in a single one, but this particular decision was notable for a number of reasons. 1st of all, its a federal charges, a very senior judge. Secondly, the language in which he rejected this case was extremely surprising, extremely harsh and extremely critical of the attempt to reverse the election result. What the judge William Brand said was that the Trump Campaign provide only strained at legal arguments without to merit and speculative arguments, and supported by evidence. He went on and likened to the campaign appeal to frankensteins monster, which you said had been put together haphazardly. Now also significantly, this case was brought in person by the president s personal attorney, rudy giuliani, who argued before this judge earlier in the week. And now the campaign is saying that its going to take it to the 3rd district, which would be the senior court. And then it will go to the supreme court. It says, however, the couple of problems with the use of wishes, 1st of all, the very tenor of the structures. Decision is unlikely to give them any grounds for appeal whatsoever. Its likely to be rejected by the district, certainly may not even get that far given the lack of merits, according to the judge in this particular case. So here weve got a situation essentially where it seems like trance neagle team. This is his 3rd legal team. One must remember, since the elections is flailing around, trying to find some way, trying to present a strategy that it wants to end up in the supreme court. But just on the basis of the facts, thats exceedingly unlikely. If not impossible to happen, but mike, there must be some senior voices within the Republican Party who are saying, look enough is enough. Weve lost all of these court cases. It was a good try. But now he needs to concede. There have been some isolated voices. A couple have spoken out strongly in favor of these ongoing legal arguments. And number have also said, well, its fair enough that you can go through the legal processes back at some stage. The Election Results got to be accepted just to see evening, a very senior republican in the house. Liz cheney, shes the 3rd highest Ranking Member in the house, has broken her silence and said, now its time for all of this to end. The results have got to be accepted and weve got to move on. Now in reality, what is happening is one mandate. For example, michigan world certify the vote. Pennsylvania will certify the vote. After that, this storm may be wrong for legal action, but basically its all over at that particular point. Michaela there live for us in washington d. C. The corona virus pandemic is surging to new levels across the u. S. And europe with officials grappling with how to contain the spread ahead of the holiday season. The u. S.

We should do something to curb the chain of the virus. Its tough, but theres no other choice. We need to be patient to have an infection rate reduced. I dont think 2 weeks is enough to control the situation. I agree with the idea of closing down 100 percent, yet many other problems will be created that i dont agree with.
