a spike in cases vice president mike pence who leads the administration's coronavirus task force is heading to florida for 5 days on vacation alan fischer al-jazeera washington. bryan cranston's a lecturer in u.s. politics at swinburne university he joins me from rockhampton in queensland australia brian there's really 2 things going on here there's firstly control of the narrative the narrative that the trouble campaign wants out there is that they were cheated out of the election but there's also a legal process coming here now the trunk of painting or the trunk administration is talking about the supreme court but it's a long way to get their rights that's right it is entirely possible that the supreme court could hear it carries from the time and later this week although it is more likely to be only to meet next week before the 1st house gets there and that is really what the trump campaign is angling for i want to get some hearings
7:10 am
because it's a pretty cool with a few by how much better chance of becoming the declared victories for joe biden number of case to particularly michigan georgia and pennsylvania. why doesn't that the democrats simply say ok you want to recount we'll give you a recount. that's an excellent question and a complicated one. it is so far to say there has not been a u.s. election pasi the last 60 or 70 is when i haven't been in some canada regularities 10 place one of the main reasons for that is he's in 3 quarters of the us stance the cheaper lections official is themselves an elected politician so the person in charge i've seen elections at the state levels themselves are potus and person and keep in mind there isn't a federal oversight you know on the us presidential elections sensually 50 state
7:11 am
elections are not to say they aren't grounds for chumps can be kind to suggest that are legit regularities it is possible and what generally happens with close elections is that more times you can't get a different result every time there is that reticence on the part of the democrats for that particular reason now the other thing that's going on here which is quite interesting is that we have a situation where it's so close where the election has been so close that there is space to at least argue whether this is going to be disputed but it's not being disputed unturned as of kind of numbers this all politics i mean even richard pilger the head of the election crimes unit has resigned over this there's division within the attorney general's office as well it's not just politics it's the judiciary as well. absolutely and this is the key point and one of the reasons that trump was so opposed to mountain bikes in long before election day because all
7:12 am
of this had to sticks prior to november suggested that democrats would in fact vioxx him a lot of things who voted by paul went by on post about us and the republican candidates and that was borne out on election night and took in pennsylvania what about 78 percent of the postal votes biden's white so trump was sitting on this narrative long before election day it's not a bad counting the votes or the 5 persis it's about the politics behind it and started trumping is goes campaign and is not opposed to the votes or council election and he is specifically targeting these postal votes because that's where he feel he has the best chance of perhaps winning the election ultimately if a lot of puerto there is a partial guards are excluded from the count now there is a deadline for the states to certify the vote when the certification happens is that game over. like many things in the u.s.
7:13 am
there are deadlines and there are deadlines each state has does have different deadlines some have recently possum have come to the next few days it doesn't need to be finalized until it goes to electoral college not until mid december and there is quite a long way that has to go until then if we think back to 2000 with al gore and george w. bush there is alt wasn't declared private today to college until december we are a long way short of the the deadline limit that was set in 2000 there is still a lot more to play out in the coming weeks i think we are going to increasingly see divisive politics come into the fall. i think has given us every indication he's not going to accept the results quietly it doesn't mind me saying just what will happen next bring something different for us. bryan cranston thank you very much your joining us lawyer from queensland in australia now at least 50 people have

7:25 am
prime minister boris johnson who had counted on the support of donald trump as a weaker hand like johnson trump has no liking for the e.u. biden will follow policies that embrace the e.u. france and germany may well become more influential allies of the us than the u.k. the u.k. may be outside the e.u. is no longer the main interlock for washington in the e.u. it is outside so the special relationship is not what it used to be and people that think that it is for you so how salvage their relationship i basically believe all ahead of the u.s. election joe biden had already sent a warning shot and johnson who he's never met it was over the possibility of a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland the e.u. warns that could be the outcome if the u.k. government presses ahead with a plan that breaches international law it would contravene part of the e.u.

withdrawal agreement the u.k. could change or ignore export rules on goods moving from the u.k. to northern ireland biden who has irish roots believes like the e.u. the good friday agreement of 998 which brought peace to northern ireland would be endangered by a hard border. another issue at stake is johnson's plan for a trade agreement with the u.s. under biden that could all go up in smoke if there's a no deal brecht's it all revisit a distant prospect of a hard irish border. some analysts believe a u.s. trade deal has been overhyped by the british they seem to want that to prove that rex it has worked in some way and i guess maybe it can have that impact in domestic politics but from an economic standpoint what what the u.k. needs is an effective deal with the e.u. and it's where its economic future lies cam there be a wind of change in u.k. policy on brics it with biden as us president right now there's no sign of it but

7:28 am
better 200 percent of our park used to be rubbish down that smell horrible but now it's really beautiful shaw is also being sought by police suspected of being behind moldova's so-called theft of the century. we don't care where the money came from our life has improved a little there is no proof anyone could have made that story up it could be true or it could be law is everywhere you go around here it seems that there is praise everywhere for mr shaw is regarded as something of a local hero for fixing up or to pay despite the fact that he is a suspected leading figure in $1.00 of europe's biggest banking frauds sure may be wanted for questioning but he is still allowed to participate in public office campaigning as an interactive hologram despite his alleged part in a 2014 heist in which more than a $1000000000.00 disappeared from moldova's 3 biggest banks companies affiliated
