3:07 pm
of course we face more and more difficulties and the situation in the september off 2020 of course is totally different than what we experienced in the september of 2910 i think 5 hong kong is just like the new isp early in the new cold war and no matter where in the hong kong's territories we experience that national security law and even for the free world also experience the wolf will read the flow of a sea of china and we still hope to send a clear state note to china it's time to help accountability is not the way out to crack down on hong kong and it erodes all universal whether with that we believe that pro-democracy activists joshua huang joining us from hong kong thank you. think it's. now 2 police officers have been shot and wounded in the u.s. city of louisville kentucky as angry protests erupted across the country the
3:08 pm

3:10 pm
far there are. demonstrations have been held across cities including new york chicago and atlanta as protesters demand justice for what they call unwarranted to police violence was. planned and we want. also in the u.s. president donald trump has again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses november's election trungpa speaking at a news conference in the white house. to see what happens you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballot surges airstrip and that the people are right there you've committed to making sure that there's a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots are out of control you know it and you know who knows it better than anybody else the democrats know it better than anybody else but.
3:11 pm
peter of a dollar from u.s. election team is here with us for more on the story hi peter this has created quite an uproar in the u.s. why are we hearing president trump say this well as with a lot of things trump it's hard to answer that question without frankly sounding a bit biased but does looking at the data. the most likely explanation seems to be that the road to reelection looks very bumpy for trump you know he's been trailing in the polls for months including in several key swing states and so you know under normal circumstances you would kind of lean back and just that the election play out but these are not normal circumstances we're in the middle of a pandemic and this is not going to be a normal election you know because of the pandemic we've seen a huge surge in people who want to vote by mail so they can stay home stay safe so we can expect the election results to really come into waves the 1st will be on election day where a lot of republican voters say that they're more like it or turned out to vote in
3:12 pm
person which means that trump could be ahead on election day but as the results of the mail in ballot start to come in in the days in the weeks after you know that could tilt in joe biden's favor and essentially end up with him being the victor and if there's one thing trump does not like it's to lose i mean we we know that he doesn't like to at mitt failure and so anticipating that this is going to be an uphill battle we've seen him really trying to you know so doubt about the integrity of the leg of the election. and claim that mail in ballots are fraud i have to say that there is no basis for that claim trump and self has voted by mail repeatedly but still it hasn't stopped them from insisting that the only biden can vote is by fraud if the election is wrecked and. as we saw there be a signal that he won't accept such result ok so let's go down this path let's say that we see president trump lose in november what happens then if he says i will
3:13 pm
not leave office right the peaceful transfer of power is really one of the hallmarks of democracy so we are looking not charted territory here you know just look at how is challenger democratic. candidate joe biden reacted when he was asked about that statement. it's the most rational thing i. don't know what is a. surprise. and really there's a lot of uncertainty about what would happen it's never happened before as we said you know political scientist constitutional lawyers are barber busy trying to you know figure out the difference in areas that could play out we know a court of the constitution if trump loses he and vice president mike pence would have to leave by january 20th but that's a lot of time between january 20th and election day on november 3rd that's almost that's it's more than 2 months almost right and so you know
3:14 pm
a lot of people believe that trombone waste a 2nd he will try to maybe go to the supreme court to contest the election he said as much yesterday when he said that he believes that it will end up there and essentially that's i think also why we're seeing from really race to fill the vacancy left behind by ruth bader ginsburg who died on friday and if you look at this graphic you can really see why you know before the death of ruth bader ginsburg the balance on the court was you know for liberal leaning judges 5 conservative ones now if trump gets his appointment through before the election that would strongly tilt the favor in his balance with 6 conservative judges so what a lot of people hoping for right now is a blow up a blowout on election day so you know really the election outcome becomes so unambiguous that it can't be contested right given a dell from a u.s. election team thank you so much for that analysis. let's check in now on some other stories making headlines around the world protesters have gathered outside
