the gift of sight to this subject of intervention is one of the few where you will see patients like this says at least 20 years younger than she was yesterday just within 24 hours on al-jazeera. the grave is threat to american democracy right now is donald trump rebukes from democrats and distancing from republicans about u.s. president dollar trump is still refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the november election. this is al jazeera live from our world headquarters in doha i'm fully back people also ahead more protests in the u.s. city of louisville over the decision not to charge police officers responsible for the death of a black woman france and the u.k.

announce a record number of new coronavirus cases the un secretary general says the global pandemic response lacks corporation and unity and we visit an exhibition that looks into the constant help understand the risks ahead for refugees and migrants. we begin in the u.s. and the raging controversy over donald trump's refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the november election while democrats have hit out of the president senior republicans in the u.s. have also been distancing themselves from his remarks that promise an orderly transition of power but trump is refusing to back off his once again questioned the fantasy of postal voting before leaving for campaign rallies in north carolina and florida. we want to make sure the election is honest and i'm not sure that it can't be i don't i don't know that it can be with this whole situation until is it valid

or unsolicited they think said that everybody else will say but if you remember hillary clinton just a week ago or so joe joe biden do not accept the results of the election under any circumstances but you don't ask her that why should you only asked me that question on the u.s. senate democratic leader chuck schumer says the president is the greatest threat to american democracy everywhere from school children to the most senior among us know that the peaceful transfer of power is one of democracies core attributes there is no democracy without unlike 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 his threat to american democracy right now is donald trump.

and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell was among republicans who weighed in on twitter saying the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th they'll be an orderly transition just as the has been every 4 years since $1792.00 when earlier the president went to pay his respects to the mate supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg whose coffin is being displayed in washington d.c. . he received in less than warm welcome with protests chanting vote him out says he will announce this weekend his nominee to replace justice ginsburg who was a liberal and strong advocate of women's rights she requested that her replacement be chosen by the winner of november's election as bringing. in silver spring maryland forsythia washington d.c. heidi so a lot of criticism of the president and even after reassurance from the white house

press secretary is still doubling down not committed to a peaceful transfer of out. that's right despite the efforts of the press secretary to temper his earlier statements and despite the tacit rebukes from members of his own party over the republicans we as you just heard president trump in his own words again doubling down saying that mail in ballots were a scam also telling reporters about unverified reports of what he says was a handful of ballots that were found tossed by a river so certainly despite the efforts of his press secretary who earlier in the day said that the president trying would accept any results of quote free and fair election the president seems to have undercut that and even the press the press secretary words free and fair election leaves plenty of wiggle room for

trump and selves to define what would be free and fair and he in the. asked has said that he would only lose this election if it were it's interesting that on the same day the f.b.i. director was testifying on capitol hill and he said that historically he has never seen a court unaided effort of voter fraud or a national election nor does he see any evidence of that happening now and on top of all that earlier in the day president trump tweeted that in florida mail in ballots are now available and he encouraged voters there to cast those ballots and mail them back in rather inexplicable except for except for the fact that in the past president trump has lot of florida many times for being a state controlled by republicans the president certainly continuing his campaign rummy's his plane air force one has just landed in jacksonville florida where as you can see thousands of his supporters are waiting for him as he is expected to

speak in jacksonville today his campaigning continuing heidi what sort of checks and balances are they to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power if there is a dispute who would step in. right so experts weighing this and watching say that really the real risk may be if this the results are close there or there is a real risk of that happening specially given this pandemic and the expectation that votes will be counted more slowly now if that happens then a legal challenge is likely to occur and of course that can be appealed all the way up to the u.s. supreme court that sort of brings us full circle as you mention the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg who was laying repose today on capitol hill rather before the supreme court her dying wish dictated to her daughter was for the next president to appoint her replacement however president trumped by those boos

as we heard from protesters or from others members of the public there to pay their respects to the late justice he has said he will select a nominee this saturday and he wants the senate to confirm that selection prior to the election so certainly democrats have accused him of staffing the core and we may be in a scenario where it would be the supreme court who ultimately decides who the next president of the united states will be thank you very much for that. live for say in silver spring maryland. that the u.s. city of louisville is bracing for a 2nd night of protests over the decision not to charge for lease offices for the death of briana taylor one man has been charged for shooting 2 police officers during demonstrations that started on wednesday night protesters defied an overnight curfew after a grand jury decided to charge only one of the 3 officers involved with

a drug raid that led to taylor's death in march has indicted for endangering tennis neighbors more than $120.00 protesters were arrested and the anti-racism rallies have spread to several other u.s. cities well the mayor of louisville has called for calm as the city remains under curfew for a 2nd night what we saw last night with the 2 police officers being shot is obviously completely unacceptable by allowance 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 taylor's 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 there is john hendren has the latest now from louisville. that is the jail conveniently close to the center square where most people are protesting and where most of the $127.00 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 out one at a time and if we happen to see one you'll 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 county out police have charged one man with firing at police officers striking him injuring 2 who are recovering today one of them is out of hospital the other remains there but other than that we haven't seen

the kind of massive violent response burning that we saw in minneapolis minnesota after the death of george full way to or in konoha wisconsin after the shooting in paralyzing of jacob lake so police have come here in force you've got national guard state police and you've 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 don't disperse they go ahead and arrest them on mass and that's 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. in other world news hospitals in france are struggling to cope with record numbers of covered 1000 cases the government has warned it is in a race against time to stop a repeat of the crisis in march and has had record tolls of new infections in 4 of the last days and u.s.

try to 25 percent capacity of what we were doing pretty covert and yet you know all of our costs are pretty much the same. thousands of businesses have been dependent on government grants to pay workers' wages but schemes coming to an end but with infections doubling every week the government's been forced to fall into the alternative to avert must job cuts it's almost to provide tax breaks extend loans and top up workers' wages up to 2 thirds of their hours for 6 months the government will directly support the wages of people in walk giving businesses who face depressed demand the option of keeping employees in a job on shorter hours rather than making them redundant while the government shores up the economy it also wants to tackle the virus by limiting social interaction weeks after people were told to eat out to help out something they did in great numbers. there are no bigger followings for not wearing

a mosque limited numbers that can attend weddings and funerals and people are being told to continue working from home if possible there's also a new contact tracing up launch moments behind sched jewel. it's all a step in the right direction say the scientists but some fear it's not enough balls and restaurants might have a new curfew for the virus doesn't the earlier you cut it off you can avoid a lot more cases and hospitalizations and deaths and we sort of missed that window in march we can see now from what happened with that curve that if we'd act you know acted about a week earlier we could've you know avoided a lot of unnecessary cases and deaths of the feeling that were hesitating until it's way too late is a bit of deja vu and i and i hope we can you know do the right thing this time. with dark evenings drawing in britain's bracing for an uncertain winter for many this feels like a lol before another full a lockdown if infection spiral. promised tighter measures many businesses warn of

terrace was speaking as representatives from the u.s. and china were involved in angry exchanges at a session of the security council over who was responsible for the pandemic mike hanna reports on neil normally unflappable secretary general could not disguise his anger at the lack of international unity in response to the pandemic the president make is the 1st international cooperation tests we have essentially face it has few nearly 1000000 people it only infected over 60000000 and remains largely. these was the result of a lack of global preparedness corporation unity and solidarity but tone of conflict was said earlier this week in a recorded address by president trump to the general assembly in which he lashed out at china we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus we must hold

accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world president xi jinping sprit recorded speech was restrained at the time making no direct reference to president trump but he rejected what he called the politicize ation of the response to the coronavirus but no restraint from the chinese ambassador in the security council session if someone should be held accountable if you should be a few u.s. politicians themselves the u.s. should understand that believe me our viewers were not solve its own problems while not directly naming president trump a number of other representatives made clear their rejection of his attack on china and the us ambassador exploded in anger shame on each of you i am astonished and i'm disgusted by the content of today's discussion i'm actually really quite ashamed at this council members of the council who took this

opportunity to focus on political correctness rather than the critical issue at hand among those who attended the sacramone us meeting with several presidents and foreign ministers in addition to the ambassadors the secretary general's call for unity was ignored if not forgotten and made clear in the virtual session that differences of the past have been gouged further open during the months of this pandemic mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. well that sounds speak to nancy soderberg who is a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations joins us via skype from jacksonville in florida thank you so much for being with us may sort of like quite the exchange at the u.n. for a place that supposed to be the symbol of diplomacy there was very little of that on display today do you ever remember a time when things were this acrimonious between members of the security council. really not since the cold war and perhaps iraq war any time you have read of the v

5 and particularly the us china and russia basically throwing mud on each other it's a symbol of how broken the world responses to this virus is the secretary general said a 1000000 to 30000000 infected and we're in the midst of a world crisis here we need unity we need to work together in this blame game we frankly this started by president johnson his speech on tuesday has just thrown the council into a game of name game that's just going to cost lives and needs we need unity to leave leadership then today was the day for the security council about it it has a responsibility to keep the world safe then it's failing international system miss out of our was already fried john even before this unprecedented global crisis and many have blamed the u.s. china rival grateful for this cove it has certainly challenge every nation ship even more do you think it's reached

a point of no return. no i don't think it will ever reach the point of no return because it's in each country's interest to eventually come together and work on this now the virus started in china blaming china for the world's failure to take the steps last february last march we knew what was at risk is a global failure the united states has the most deaths anywhere followed by brazil india russia everyone is got to step back and take the measures to the heat their people say and instead a lot of them including my own president if they're tending it's just going to go away it will disappear it is not going to disappear until you have global gratian and the un and having worked there it's a microcosm of the state of the world and the fact that you have the 3. russet china and the u.s. going at it in the security council throwing mud at each other the main playing gay

plaintiffs shows you how dysfunctional the global response to the world pendennis is and leave all these countries their responsibility to listen to the facts social distance out of that scene listen to the science and i think this is a say for the world's take on display for all to see and it really has to do you think what will we tend to the old ways of doing international things once the pandemic has abated i mean what will the future of diplomacy look like and will the u.n. as we know. because many many people are questioning the united nations also in the way it's handled this. you have to remember that the international community is run by states and when states don't want it to. do things then it doesn't so the states see that come together if you didn't have the un system sort of part we have to reinvent it if you look at the global crises climate change the virus liberation

terrorism terrorism financing cyber security every one of them depends on global cooperation to solve them there are $8000000.00 people on earth and we need to work together to solve these problems various politicians will step up and say i'm going to put my country 1st and. the rest of the world it never works so the pendulum can swing it out of sync with the international community that the facts are stubborn thing in the power expects or are they global issues in global cooperation to solve them or we will have another 1000000 dead and the sooner we recognize that the better we have to work together we need the u.n. you need the w.h.o. we need go to our races shared science let's work together to find a vaccine let's work together i'm the best practices and it's today's a strong call clarion call the need to step back on this name calling in
