to democrat katie hobbs. she is asking a court to throw out certified election results from the state's most populous county and either declare her the winner or rerun the governor's election in that county. joining me now is the bbc�*s north america correspondent david willis. on what basis is she challenging the results? in on what basis is she challenging the results? . , ., , results? in recent years there arizona has — results? in recent years there arizona has become - results? in recent years there arizona has become a - results? in recent years there arizona has become a crucial| results? in recent years there - arizona has become a crucial swing state, it was a key battleground in the last month was my midterm elections with some very tight races, among that the governor, involving kari lake. but there were some issues, there were printing problems, around 70 different polling stations, and that led to long queues for people queueing up to vote, waiting to vote in line and kari lake maintains, amongst other things in her 70 page lawsuit, that

that led to a lot of republican voters basically giving up, because the lines were so long, and going home, she maintains that led to them being effectively disenfranchised. she also claims that hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots were cast in that race for the governorship of arizona. so she has basically sued, she is calling for the election result either to be scrubbed away and for her to be appointed the governor of the state of arizona, or indeed for the election to be a rerun. it's worth making the point that kari lake, a very high profile candidate in these elections, much preferred, much feted by donald trump, as an election denier, is one of the only high—profile candidates in this country that has yet to concede after these midterm elections. that after these midterm elections. that after these midterm elections. that

regardless of any apparent remorse, there is only really one question victims, investigators and reporters want an answer to. were you incompetent or were you fraudulent? i didn't knowingly commit fraud, i don't think i committed fraud. i didn't want any of this to happen. i was certainly not nearly as competent as i thought i was. that is why we started ftx, to harness the possibility of this digital asset world. bankman—fried's ftx was a giant of the cryptocurrency industry. the exchange allowed people to trade their normal money for digital tokens like bitcoin. but last month, it was revealed ftx and bankman—fried's separate company, alameda research, were financially unstable. everything came crashing down, billions of dollars are now missing, more than a million people out of pocket. it's alleged that the alameda hedge fund was using ftx customer money that should have been secured. until very recently, this was the headquarters of the $32 billion ftx empire.

we have spoken to a former senior employee of the company who worked here with sam bankman—fried. he is furious at how the ceo has handled the collapse, but also about what he is saying right now. he says you are lying, he says that you knew about it, and that it is impossible, he says, for you not to know that ftx's customer funds were being used on these big, risky bets for alameda research, and this is all, in his words, "a bold—faced lie and a cover—up." is that true? no. no, it is not. that doesn't change the fact, though, that it was a really bad mistake and that it hurt a lot of people. and, like, that is on me, one way or another. the former billionaire claims he is now close to being broke, but the 30—year—old's dream, if he can get through multiple federal investigations, is to start a new business. i think at the very least i have a duty to ftx's users to do

right by them as best as i can. you mean somehow make money and pay them back? i would give anything to be able to do that. even though jail time is possible, he says he tries so you want to get this clear, start a new venture? if i could do that, that would be great.— a new venture? if i could do that, that would be great. closer to home, locals are left — that would be great. closer to home, locals are left angry, _ that would be great. closer to home, locals are left angry, the _ that would be great. closer to home, locals are left angry, the americans i locals are left angry, the americans a bold promise to build a silicon valley of crypto has vanished. ads, big valley of crypto has vanished. a big disappointment. — valley of crypto has vanished. a big disappointment, because a lot of people. — disappointment, because a lot of people, locally, had sold land to them _ people, locally, had sold land to them stop everything just went. overnight everything hasjust gone? overnight everything has just gone? everything gone. the first question, where _ everything gone. the first question, where is _ everything gone. the first question, where is the — everything gone. the first question, where is the money _ everything gone. the first question, where is the money coming from. . where is the money coming from. nobody— where is the money coming from. nobody can— where is the money coming from. nobody can answer— where is the money coming from. nobody can answer that - where is the money coming from. | nobody can answer that question. where is the money coming from. i nobody can answer that question. in spite nobody can answer that question. spite of the serious allegations, sam bankman—fried seems confident investigators here and in the us will not find him guilty of fraud,

stunned portugal in their quarter—final tie. hello there. it's bitterly cold out there at the moment once again, it wasn't so bad earlier on if you did have some sunshine. we've seen a lot more cloud, though, earlier across scotland, that's been bringing some more snow in, especially for eastern parts of the country, some very slippery conditions. over the next few days, we stay in cold air. we're going to find some more wintry showers leading to some icy stretches. and by the beginning of next week, maybe a bit more freezing fog around as well. mind you, across some parts of the country, here in norfolk, for example, we have seen grey, foggy skies, keeping it cold that's tending to move away. and with clear skies, temperatures should be dropping rapidly overnight. we've got this band of rain, sleet and snow moving down across scotland. fewer wintry showers for northern ireland, wales, western parts of england, but some icy conditions here. so too potentially in the midlands with the cloud bringing a few wintry flurries here as well. another widespread frost, of course,

lowest temperatures with the clearer skies in southeastern parts of england and also in northern england, minus seven or so. but some sunshine for these areas. we are going to stay quite cloudy, though, through the midlands. again, a few wintry flurries in there, more sunshine coming out in wales, the showers becoming fewer in south west england and more sunshine i think on sunday for northern ireland and scotland away from the far north. some sunshine for northern england as well. but sunshine or cloud, it's going to be cold for all of us. temperatures maybe 1 to 3 degrees at best. now we're keeping an eye on developments in the south east of england on sunday night. the potential is still there for some snow in particularly kent and parts of essex. but we are also going to find some fog forming in some areas of east anglia through the midlands, other parts of southern england. elsewhere, clear skies, a widespread frost on sunday night and in northeast scotland could be minus 12, the coldest night of the year. sunshine, though, across scotland. some showers in the far north of the country,

sunshine for northern ireland, showers through the north channel and in the irish sea across england and wales, some sunshine but at best cloudy skies across parts of the midlands, east anglia in the southeast, at worst, some freezing fog, the snow flurries tending to die out. and again, another very cold day. that's monday. and really through the rest of the week, we stay in cold air. the winds light to begin with, hence the risk of freezing fog from the middle of the week onwards, we get that arctic wind back again, blowing away the fog, bringing some more snow in the north.
