even go out if things are supposed to be in order. all the information that's lost be utilized by the ability to shoot not to take the fight to the end collapse of the people who are now, a recount in wisconsin has confounded joe biden as the winner of that battleground state. the charm campaign paid for that recount which found no instance as a fraud from voters or election officials. meanwhile, senior republicans say a transition to a joe biden presidency now looks inevitable, despite donald trump still fighting to change the results of the election. biden will be sworn in on january 20th. this all comes as trump questioned whether the supreme court would hear any of his legal challenges to the result or not speak to, mike hanna, he joins us now live from washington. d.c., mike georgia, now wisconsin recounts, are present times, running out of options. well,

he's run out of options. some would argue a long time ago, particularly with all his failed court attempts to try and change the vote in wisconsin. for example, as you mentioned his campaign point, 3000000 dollars to have a recount done in a number of counties there. the end result is that joe biden gained $87.00 votes. so essentially the trump campaign has just paid $3000000.00 to give joe biden, an even bigger lead. wisconsin will be certifying the vote in the course of the next 24 hours as will a number of other states in following days. so certainly it would appear that trump has run out of all options here period on a sunday talk show his 1st sit down interview since the election, 44 minute interview in which he discussed the ongoing fraud as he puts it to stall, providing no basis for his claims whatsoever, but interestingly he did as well said to be very difficult to get to the supreme

court, or some would argue that that is self evident. given the tenor of some of the judgments that have been handed down, basically, really ridiculous. the trump campaign's attempts to falsify the results of the election. so president trump still not conceding though, but appearing to be nudging closer to an acceptance of the inevitable. mike hanna there with all the latest for us from washington d.c. . thank you so much, mike. still ahead for you here on al-jazeera, the historic agreement between cuban artists activists and the government. after a rare protests over the freedom of expression and after decades of mistreatment, pakistan's lonely elephant sets off to a sanctuary in cambodia for some much needed company.

in costa rica and panama during monday and tuesday. that's the edge of the cold front that we talk about in the u.s. or in the heart is the rain in some parts of the yucatan and in western cuba during choose day, and increasing your wednesday from big sums thunderstorms, again, in honduras. a key figure of the early 20th century arab literary scene.

death toll has also hit a 6 month high. but what we ask people to do is to at least stop for a moment and do what i call a risk benefit assessment of what you want to do in the holiday. what you want to do to the seasons where you bring people in your home. if you have a person who is elderly or who has an underlying condition that makes them more susceptible to the serious consequences of infection. do you really want to have that gathering or should you say, i know it hurts not to do it because this is such a beautiful traditional season. but you know, hang in there with us because there will be future times when you could do it. now pro-democracy activists say security forces fired shots during protests in the capital, minsk, the hearing as you can see, thousands rallied and the city's residential areas continuing their months on

but are there any specific circumstances that are fueling the some quire it's difficult to tell at this point. i think one of the major factors is that people simply don't want to let him go. it's become very clear that he did die last wednesday. he was buried next to his parents in a cemetery the following day. yet to be analysis the controversy about his life, both on the pitch and off it continues to dominate life here. and i suspect also in naples in italy as well. we had a huge influence. so i think it's partly that, and i think people want to make sure that all the loose ends are tied up. that there was nothing that should have been done that could have been done, perhaps prolong his life a little bit longer. i mean, many are asking how it was that he managed to reach 60 years old, given the amount of drug abuse they hear, to the way he treated his body for many years. some are saying that the doctors

deserve great credit for keeping him alive. that long. all this talk about the strong personality that he had often refusing the medical treatment that was offered to him. should there perhaps have been some kind of intervention to force him to behave in a certain way when he was ignoring doctor's advice. so all these questions really being asked suspected somewhat, some are saying that his 2 daughters are behind this cause, investigate the possibility of negligence of involuntary manslaughter. but really i think that's your forit is trying to make sure that all the bases are covered. and daniel, i see that dr. luke a himself has been very emotional to be there saying that he really thought of mary donna as being a friend. well, he's been his personal doctor since 2016. he says they were very close, they had a father son relationship. diego maradona being a difficult to control father was the way he put it. and yes, as you say,

very emotional, not just on his death, but this unexpected, certainly in his eyes, raid on his office and on his house, taking away personal possessions, medical records, mobile phones, as part of this investigation into the death or the, the hours immediately preceding the death of the marijuana and there with all the latest for us from when is arias, thanks so much time. now artists and activists in cuba say they've reached a historic agreement with the government over freedom of expression there. the 2 sides held talks following a protest outside have been his ministry of culture. the answer say they've won an unusual government promise of greater tolerance for independent artists. who end up . we will bring the 2 agendas together to see if we can reach a consensus between the world of independent art and the world of government institutions in cuba. we along with people who have much more experience

debating the government, think that in spite of everything, even though we didn't agree on 8 points, what has happened today is historic. in this country, love a state as a cuban artist and also a member of the san isidro descent dissident movement. he's currently in berlin. he says there are conflicting signals from the cuban government. what happened is that the government supposedly agreed to do certain things, especially yesterday the government has started to somehow to denigrate in the lead to be you know, in the, in the l'arche in this or crucial media activists in somehow supposedly deal with that. we have to understand that the government in cuba have to control the total control of the press, such an information to the larger public opinion inside cuba is very dangerous. one day they said that they agreed to do one thing and the other one they are publishing in the media. a general discussion for cation on their activism,

either especially the movement of science either. so this is a very complete this, and we are very aware and ready afraid of what's going to happen. also there are reports are the same day when the activists retire on the other once. people trying to enter to join the manifestation in front of the minutes of pepper spray. there were basically police forces around the ministry of culture. so we can see here a clash between the traditional political repression to the individual artist. so the wall have to see that the cuban government is trying to tackle all possible dissidents, free assembly, a manifestation in sight. i think that this is new, but we have to hope more for the international community and also inside cuba to push more about those rights. well, thousands of protest as of march through guatemala's capital one week off the
