Museums and galleries in england are going back into lockdown this thursday but before that happens we managed to get a tour of the architecture for dogs show in london we got a 4 Legged Friend to go sniff it out. In london and sure shes a female shiba inu inspects the architecture for a doctor exhibition of creative furnishings for mans best friend. The piece is the creations of internationally renowned designers and architects. Massive car is a london based architect who has gone to the dogs. Interested in giving the brief to create architecture for dogs instead of humans and its not about making houses though of course pacific in the prefer it was about trying to express yourself the scale of the dog and so whats really interesting about it the creative tools how to get sharpen the bit where to start to see things from a different perspective and see how the dog sees the world. The concept for the exhibition came from japanese designer kenya howrah from 2012 it went on shore around the world only now arriving in europe. Massive contact with this design i see you its intended for dogs with black coats. The idea is that its the dog is able to camouflage itself amongst a kind of black background is made from sheeps wool the whole thing has a smell the delicious smell the dog which attracts it initially and the shape you can see starts in the ground and lifts upwards in this curved arc the idea is that kind of resembles the way the dog discovers the world around it maybe the way it sees is by smelling the ground and slowly looks up to discover whats the surface in front of it for sure theres plenty to discover. But its about more than seeing and sniffing is more than an exhibition its really a. Global project whereby people can interact by downloading versions of the pieces which are exhibited and make them themselves we upload them and they are then shared via social media.

It is election day in the United States the decisions made today will impact america and the entire planet for the rest of this century the pandemic and Climate Change are getting more the American Century feels like yesterday uncertainty and fear look more and more like tomorrow well that means unprecedented responsibility at the ballot box in the face of unprecedented crises around the globe the world has always been invested in what American Voters choose now more than ever the world is tied to the consequences too im burnt off in berlin this is the day. I love where the greatest in this. Day so i had to because we have to get combat troops but theres no way we can have 4 more years with them yes i thought the biden oh. I dont know callous or its medieval for me but i think the transplant im going to. Than you did last time its actually really close i think its pretty close to i think give me you know its something ive been at the top and i think that and i think it is a good day to make a change. Also coming up with the business of predicting u. S. Election results in 2016 the polls missed the mark big time just ask Hillary Clinton in 2020 there are still plenty of predictions but this time they require patients were rightly not going to get a clear winner on Election Night and thats different from not having a clear. Thats not a sign of our system failing us actually just means were giving people who are counting the ballots time to count about. Were viewers watching on p. B. S. In the United States and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day at the finish line that will most likely be moved several times before anyone reaches the finish today is election day in the United States traditionally this is the final sprint at the end of that uniquely american marathon known as the race to win the white house in 2020 however tradition has been tranced by trepidation boarded up buildings faces with masks and toxic politics that describes this election day in the United States across the country there are emergency plans in place in case unrest erupts our correspondents say the tension is palpable inflamed by a president and Vice President who have refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should they lose this election. Due to an unprecedented number of mail in ballots that have yet to be counted we may not know or have a winner until tomorrow or even later this week patience is a virtue and its a necessity there is one aspect however that is familiar 2 men are vying for the presidency Democrat Joe Biden is asking voters to give america a new chance President Donald Trump is asking voters to give him another 4 years. One has dedicated his life to Public Service and the other has dedicated his to winning. 2 men with contrast in styles and competing visions of the future. We choose hope over fear unity over Division Science or friction and yes truth over a law in this election is a choice between a trump super recovery which were in right now or a by depression. Joseph biden story is one of triumph and tragedy of overcoming a childhood stutter to reach the u. S. Senate at just 30 years old only to lose his wife and daughter in a car accident weeks later. In 2015 biden was again left a rare when his son beau died of brain cancer. I found the best way through pain and loss and grief is to find purpose. Donald trump inherited a new York Real Estate empire and turned the neve into a brand. His life of waiting to posses a mouthful of fears were talk of the tongue. Also followed him everywhere and so too did bankruptcies. But it was heads in the show the apprentice that reversed his fortunes the prestigious helped turn trump from hapless new york businessman to longshot president ial hopeful. While to a vast series a white man in their seventys the similarities end there for decades biden rode the train to work. While crump enjoys the trappings of wealth biden spent his career shaping his Foreign Policy beliefs. And forging friendships abroad. Conspiracy theories about barack obama our president has finally released a birth certificate and run for office on a nationalist ticket for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States so help me go to prayer arrived promising isolationism. Its going to be only america 1st which saw him embrace dictators unfolds while pushing need to allies around the tour deal after deal. I am announcing today the United States will withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal from the paris. Climate a court. Staged on treaties with russia. So were going to terminate a brit were going to pull out hes gone where few president s have he was impeached and he repeatedly cozied up to violent White Supremacists. Very fine people on both sides. Providing america 1st means america alone hes on a mission to rewind the trunk years and hes hoping his folksy appeal will win over swing voters. We are in a battle for the soul of this nation. Will he too is no stranger to fighting talk doing this because he didnt like it wrong. When he sticks to the script his pitches the after 4 years of chaos on hundreds of thousands of crudely 1000. 00 day he is uniquely placed to mend the country battle for the soul of us thats the job of a president to hear. The Trump Campaign by contrast has been the lights on unity and heavy on fia and misinformation for the president this is about coming fast at any cost. Reject left wing fascism vote for American Freedom vote for america 1st vote for make America Great again. Both candidates have cost themselves as americas salvation but the truth days and this high stakes pot so the result will reverberate well beyond her borders. And it brings us to today its election day lets bring in rachel risen shes a political analyst and director of programs at the Truman Center she joins us from washington d. C. Tonight good to see you again rachel well let me ask you about what President Trump was asked earlier today a reporter asked him if hes prepared both a victory speech and a concession speech and he answered in an unusually somber tone do you think he senses that the polling numbers might be right after all. Well i think thats a great question that you ask but i think that whats helpful is to point to the fact that for weeks if not months im trump has hinted that he may not conceive the even if polls show that joe biden is ahead so i think that well have to see exactly exactly what happens there he has also said that he could declare victory even if he is not the clear winner but as we all know thats not in the constitution so it really doesnt matter if he comes out in declaring victory that could cause a lot of confusion so that is definitely something were concerned about and watching closely every 4 years the u. S. President ial election becomes the worlds a legend if you will people all over the planet they feel like they are a part of this process in some way that has its been a been a fit for america in the past this time around though it looks like a liability would you agree with that absolutely and its really concerning to read reports that have been coming out from you know human rights organizations saying that people need to be watching what happens with the elections in the United States to make sure that polls and vote so are counted fairly and that people have their voices heard and so you hear any reports and the fact that they are coming out and being talked about talking about the United States like that is just so concerning and it shows just how far the United States has slid in the past 4 years during Donald Trumps presidency and when trump was elected back in 2016 german chancellor Angela Merkel she was the 1st European Allied to congratulate him with conditions a friendship based on shared values she said marilyn trump ended up sharing very little these past 4 years take a look. Even before donald trump became u. S. President it was clear the relationship wouldnt be easy. Now merkel what did she do shes destroyed our bridges in the process of destroying germany with a migration and will once trump did become president she congratulated him on his election but in typical american style she threw in a subtle dig. George want america germany and america connected by values democracy freedom respect for the law and for the dignity of human beings regardless of their origin with skin color religion gender Sexual Orientation or political views. Order. This photo of medical facing trump at a g 7 meeting went viral seen by many as a perfect illustration of their report so was their 1st encounter when trump ignored americas suggestion to shake hands like. Thank you. One of the biggest sources of disagreement has been nato trump has attacked germany without pause saying it was not paying its fair share towards the alliance. Germany as you know is very delinquent in their. Payments to nato. One percent and this supposed to be a 2 percent of the 2 percent is very low it should be much more than. When trump treated racist attacks on this group of democratic he was congresswoman merkel openly condemned his actions. This is one of those even moved up on. Those i firmly distanced myself from the attacks and i stand in solidarity with these women. Of a strained relationship but also opposite approaches like on how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and how to wear a face mask. Now with trump fighting for a 2nd term in office and merkel in her last year as chancellor it may soon be time to kiss goodbye the question is how soon. Donald trump and. He looks like her has become the end. Ty miracle miracle is a scientist turned politician trump of reality t. V. Star turned politician merkels handling of the pandemic has obviously been based in science trumps has been based some would say n. P. R. Others would say denial is this an accurate description from where youre sitting. I think its a very accurate description and just a few years ago even when donald trump was elected as president people started talking about on Glenn Murcutt as the leader of the free world and so i think it goes to show that even other World Leaders look at donald trump and as a president that cant really be trusted as a president who flouts democratic norms and i think now in no relationship has that been clearer in how he and merkel have interacted with one another over the last 4 years and the sort of disk 18 that he has shown for her especially when it comes to German Defense spending and various other issues that have come up like for example north stream to and so i think that if donald trump does have its reelected then its really concerning to think about where that relationship might be headed you know there are predictions that if trump wins reelection that this would be the beginning of the end of nato and that it would mean a total withdrawal of u. S. Troops from germany maybe from all of europe i mean thats what were hearing on this side of the atlantic or u. S. Voters aware of what is at stake in terms of Foreign Policy in this election. I think u. S. Voters
