12:00 am
there are a great, well every good hour. the 0. 0. this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london. coming up, americans not to travel for thanksgiving, next week to stem the country's surging coronavirus cases. as georgia prepares to announce the outcome of its recount, president trump insists he has a clear and viable path to victory. plus. this is a part of israel, the center part of israel becomes the 1st u.s. secretary of state to visit the occupied golan heights,
12:01 am
as well as an illegal israeli settlement. 16 people killed and 350 detained in a crackdown on protests triggered by the arrest of ugandan pop, star politician bobby wine with all your sports and says he's tired of always being blamed for problems at barcelona. the u.s. center for disease control is urging americans not to travel during next week's thanksgiving holiday. as the country sees more people in hospital with corona virus than at any time in the pandemic. so far, 79000 people are currently admitted as infection rates climb. this week people in new york have been joining hours long queues to be tested ahead of the holiday. the country passed a quarter of a 1000000 deaths on wednesday with more than 11 and
12:02 am
a half 1000000 cases. nurses in the city have been protesting against inadequate protection equipment and a shortage of staff. we cannot allow the buffering and that of the community and are not going through inspiring to happen again. reassured that we should not let the farmer had during earth rob north. we had a meeting at our meeting and what i had forgotten that they're going to do in a famine the proper way. well, why don't the health care worker and probably people coming here that you can approach and you get it for them. president elect joe biden has held a virtual meeting with state governors to discuss how to tackle the coronavirus once he's in power. is just one in a series of events. the transition team is holding, despite president from continuing to block the usual transition procedures. both republicans and democrat governors were involved in the meeting with biden
12:03 am
promising them his support. he said the upcoming thanksgiving holiday is still in charge. could help the virus spread. now, you face another surgery, you refuse? hospitalization. yes, it is pretty new pressure on your hospitals and doctors, nurses, health care workers, unions taking a massive, massive new toll on the economy. and no one you are facing. you should need to keep the test. you are the suppliers you need help. we want to know that i will be your partner in the white house. i don't see this one. we this from the bottom are going to see this as a red state issue of blue staters. and i see it is all this together. when a member little 2, alan fischer in washington 1st to she had joe biden's hometown of wilmington, delaware. so a change of emphasis,
12:04 am
really in the way of dealing with coronavirus from, from biden, with the governess. right. but what else can he say? except look, i'll do it better and it will be bipartisan and it won't be like it was before, because still, the biden transition team isn't getting information and they were lamenting this fact once again. today. what is the, for example, vaccination distribution plan that is being hatched? at the health and human services organization though, the department here in washington rather wants the state to stop file information on syringes or p.p.a. or therapeutic say they have no idea. there is some comfort to be had. and that what we're hearing is the people who are drawing up the plans for vaccine distribution, all career civil servants within the government. so therefore, when the trouble with the surgeon leaves, they stay on. so hopefully the learning curve and they will be that information transfer once and once and for all, but clearly a great deal of unease among both the biden transition team and the governors
12:05 am
themselves who are saying, look, we don't necessarily have all the information that we need we're getting information about say the formula for vaccine distribution, but we're not getting information on how many doses of vaccine to expect when to expect them. they also say they need money. 6000000000 dollars $8000000000.00 perhaps to train health care workers day to operators to administer the vaccine, which they're not, which they're not getting biden. of course, at this point. what else can he say? well, we'll see once i'm in, once i'm in office, it has to be said that when you're looking at the biden transition teams, it is much to the dismay of progress is full of the usual small creatures from, from industry, big pharma, health insurance, wall street, big oil, big tech, you name it all the usual lobbyists are now firmly implanted in the biden transition team. but the coronavirus team that biden has, is pretty amazing that some really great figures there. and in particular, there's a figure that's really being on who is an expert on the inequality of health care
12:06 am
when it comes to minorities. this is obviously one of those on equal health care systems in the 2 world, if not the most based on money as, as it is. and there is always that suspicion that the rich will simply jump the queue when it comes time for vaccine distribution. but by having a real expert, real expertise now on the inequality, specifically when it comes to minorities who are hardest hit by covert, there is a lot of hope that the blood ministration won't make the sort of mistakes that some, some fear may, may have happened. other words, she watches you. thank you very much. and fisher is live from the white house for us and don. and while we wait for the outcome of the recount in georgia, more claims from the chant campaign took us 3 days came in a news conference that was hosted by rudy giuliani has now taken over as the main point person for the trump campaign. legal efforts in a number of states. it was a wide ranging press conference. it certainly hit
12:07 am
a number of points that the republicans have talked about over the last few days. but what is interesting is that when it came to things that really giuliani has said in court, they don't quite add up. for example, at the news conference, he said there is widespread fraud. yet when he appeared in court in pennsylvania, just the other day, he said that this was not a fraud case. he's talked about evidence that he's going to present to the courts. no, the presented evidence to the courts. i think it's something in the region of 24 out of 25 court cases that they have lost. it's a different whole scenario when you're speaking to a judge and you've got to tell the truth to keep your law license rather than stand in front of a lot of journalists when you can bash on the usual republican hate figure such as the media or george soros or socialists, or an international conspiracy. the difficulty that rudy giuliani has is that he's not producing any of the evidence to back this up. he says he will give it to the
12:08 am
judges. that the case is overwhelming, that they will be able to overturn the result. and donald trump will be confirmed as president by a landslide. a point also made by one of his legal team who gained notoriety in washington over the last few months by representing michael flynn. you may remember him, former national security adviser, fired by donald trump for speaking for lying to mike pence. but also for speaking to the russians before the trump administration came into power 4 years ago. well, she said that there was a widespread conspiracy in trying to defraud donald trump of a victory in the 2020 election. what we're really dealing with here and uncovering more by the day is the massive influence of communist money, venezuela, cuba, and likely china in the interference with our elections here in the united states.
12:09 am
the dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software, and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well. not just a minion were created and billions of invented to weigh a law at the direction of hugo chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out. we have one very strong witness who has explained how it all works. let's just fact check a couple of things here that died in 2013, the dominion voting systems. the company was actually established in canada, the government or department of homeland security. cyber watchdog said that this was the most secure election in american history. there was little or nor for
12:10 am
interference. a point that donald trump even tweeted out claiming credit for himself, even though suggesting that somehow the democrats had managed to steal the election itself. there is a problem, there's a huge disconnect between what the republicans and donald trump is seeing in court and what they're seeing out in front of the public. the next step, as far as the trump campaign is concerned, is they will be filing a court case in georgia on friday. the intention is to delay the certification of the votes in the state, just to let you know that was a state that joe biden won 1st democrat to win there in 1902. and with georgia, donald trump cannot get to 270 electoral college votes. so the intention is that having asked for a recount, that didn't overturn the result is know to delay it for as long as possible to try and some hoe give donald trump a path to 270. but most people seem to suggest that that's simply not going to
12:11 am
happen and fish. thank you very much. let's bring in money, go newman, who was a contestant on trump's t.v. show the apprentice and a white house advisor to both president trump and also to president clinton. she joins us from jacksonville, florida via skype. thank you very much indeed for being with us. so you know, trump quite well, what do you think has made him is in continuing to spin this out in this way, given that the weight of evidence so far that it, that he's not going to win well or, and i think it's just really unfortunate that the president has been reluctant to accept the will of the people, the votes are, and donald trump is no longer going to be president. come january the 20th. his goal right now is to buy time. don't trump knows that onesies out of office. he will face litigation cases, legal consequences for decisions that he's made in the last 4 years. and so he is simply stalling with these lawsuits. so you say, mention them that there's a motive for him to avoid the kind of consequences of which some legal issues,
12:12 am
how many more moves do you think he will make in the next few weeks to make it difficult for the biden team? if and when they do take over, i think that he has any number of maneuvers that he will try. i mean we've seen this press conference today that was given by rudy giuliani. that was all over the place. i believe that they're going to continue to bash the american voting system . try to keep these voters from certifying, particularly the electoral college that will meet in less than 3 weeks. and he's going to pressure governors to continue to deny, deny, deny the republican party has a reckoning. they're either going to go a trump, or they're going to pressure him to do or what all presidents who, whose reelection do. and that's concede on that point. why haven't they done so so far? they are they scared of him? and are they right to be afraid of any kind of backlash from him on their future political careers? these folks are so afraid to try. but as we saw, donald trump received 10000000 more votes than the 1st of the 70000000 people.
12:13 am
that's a huge coalition. and with just one tweet, don't trump ken in anyone's political future, if they are part of the republican party. tell me how far do you think you might go to to trace of hang on until last minute. and even beyond that, i mean, the assumption from western leaders is that biden will become the next president and perhaps rule making that assumption. and maybe, maybe we're all wrong again on this one. i mean, how far would you see him going to, to stay in? and i mean, it was, it was kind of constitutional issues. but what about an unconstitutional way of staying in is that, is that likely? but there is absolutely no limit lauren to what donald trump will do. you know, i was with donald the 1st year in the white house, served with him for 12 months, and i have to tell you, he absolutely loved being president. he was a network with the oval office. he loves air force one and he loves the power that goes along with it. and it's quite addictive. and so for donald trump, to have to give all of that up, just as he settled in, i think to be very difficult and you'll see him trying every maneuver he can to
12:14 am
stay at 1600 pennsylvania avenue and in the short term. and what's your forecast when do you see a possible moment where he might climb down? well, he's going to have to come to terms with a quite soon. because on january the 19th, as of midnight when it strikes january 20th, then the trip will now be trespassing at the white house and there are procedures in place to remove trespass. there is from the white house grounds. we don't want to come to that quite frankly, hopefully donald trump will see that he's harm in the country by remaining in office. and he will voluntarily conceit and allow the transition that happen, which is truly the bedrock of our democracy. and so you're not expecting him to be marched from, marched out now, you know, as big of a bully as years. i know donald for 17 years, he's also very, very easily embarrassed and he doesn't want to be shamed publicly. so it is my thought that down top will probably scurry away in the night. he certainly will not
12:15 am
participate in moderation. so don't expect that. but definitely he will not allow himself to be in a humiliating situation as in getting dropped from the white house. ok, and where is a month ago? newman? thank you very much indeed for talking to his regime. all right. might become the 1st u.s. secretary of state to visit an illegal settlement in the occupied west bank is also become the 1st to set foot in the occupied golan heights. it's the latest and most controversial leg of his 10 day tour of the middle east and europe are a force that has more getting ready for the 1st visit by a u.s. secretary of state to illegal israeli settlement. assad winery had named a blend for my pump after he declared a year ago, a change in american policy no longer viewing israeli settlements as contrary to international law. it's a strong statement against all of those. whatever called

the people around the world saying we are in league as pompei arrived to state department was announcing new policy requiring all settlement made goods to be labeled as israeli. when entering the us market. the declaration of sorts that annexed or not the us see settlements as israeli territory, because u.s. administration is not biased towards the occupation. it's a partner. we've seen it all before. his visit didn't surprise at all. posted photos of his tour on his twitter feed, saying he hoped not to be the last u.s. secretary of state to make such a visit. the view from the palestinian side very different. the city of i'll be here, it is home to a large number of jewel us palestinian citizens, whom the settlement of some got is there stolen land? i can't even get close to the settlement would be, i'll be putting myself and anybody around me and the physical harm. since the seventy's, as my family got to visit their own land for all the controversy attached to this
12:17 am
visit by my pompei o to the settlement and for all of his talk about a possible 2nd trump administration. this visit to israel has had the atmosphere of something of a goodbye tour and that was detectable in the statement that he and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu gave in jerusalem. the 2 men went over a litany of trumpet cheve months on behalf of israel, who was eager to show that the world had not yet dried up. but we will regard the globe or any israel b.d.s. campaign is anti sematic. i know this sounds simple to you, mr. prime minister. it seems like a statement of fact, but i want to know that we will immediately take steps to identify organizations that engage in hateful b.d.s. kinder can withdraw our us government support. the boycott divestment and sanctions movement rebutted the accusation saying it rejected anti jewish racism, ended his tour in the golan heights, considered occupied land under international law,

neighboring sudan since the start of the conflict, including to aid organizations, the thousands more integrate are facing a dire humanitarian situation with the government imposing a communications blackout and blocking access to the region. many refugees arriving at the sudanese border are exhausted and hungry. so far most of the food for the refugees has come from local communities around the border point and refugee camps . but the communities themselves face economic hardships, as sudan, battle flooring, market prices, and the number of those crossing the border to escape the fighting into gray is rising. many who said they've gone for days without food. now have something to eat . but the country, the refugees are arriving too has its own set of problems, including a state of emergency floods in september damaged many roads. and that is now one during a delivery. so the challenge is to remain there, but what we're doing is that we have enough food stocks in the country have be i would be able really to pull on food from other areas where we had surpluses to try

to stand too, that we have. we are in 90 percent of better company. it is very, very hard to be doing because you know, they have to increase the number of beds they don't really know for the patients and critically patients is very, very reduced. so we are really worried about the issue. and in india, the grade of r.'s pandemic has severely tested the world's best health care services. syria is destroyed by years of war is facing its biggest challenge yet. victoria, india is close to reaching 9000000 corona, virus infections with another 45000 reported on thursday. now that if it is high pollution in the capital, could lead to more virus related deaths per annum reports that is residents haven't had a day of clean air in joggers in new delhi, take advantage of the relatively clear air. after weeks of toxic,
