any counting in detroit detroit is another place and. i wouldn't say has the best reputation for election integrity poll workers in michigan were duplicating ballots but when our observers attempted to challenge activity those poll workers jumped in front of the volunteers to block their view so that they couldn't see what they were doing and it became a little bit dangerous when major hub for counting ballots in detroit covered up the windows again with large pieces of cardboard and so they wanted to protect and block the counting area they didn't want anybody seeing the county even though these were observers who were legal observers it was supposed to be there in detroit there were hours of unexplained delay in delivering many of the votes for counting the final batch of data arrive until 4 in the morning and even though the polls close at 8 o'clock so they brought it in and the batches came in and nobody

knew where they came from we've also been denied access to observe and critical places in georgia and multiple swing states counting was halted for hours and hours on election night with the results withheld from major democrat run locations only to appear. later and they suddenly appeared and they all had the name biden and were just about all the almost all they all had the name but none which is a little strange i challenge joe and every democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes. because they talk about votes and i think they should use the word legal eagle votes we want every legal vote counted and i want every legal vote counted we want openness and transparency no secret count rooms no mystery ballots no illegal votes being cast after election day you have election day and the laws are very strong in that you have an election day and they don't want the votes cast after election day and they want the process to be an honest one it's so important

we want an honest election and we want an honest count. and we want honest people working back there because it's a very important so that's the way this country is going to win that's the way the united states will win and we think we will win the election very easily we think there's going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence so much proof and it's going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land we'll see but we think they'll be a lot of litigation because we can't have an election stolen by like this and i tell you i would i have been talking about this for many months with all of you and i've said very strongly that mail in ballots are going to end up being a disaster small elections were disaster small over is it and elections were disasters this is a large scale version and it's getting worse and worse every day we're hearing stories that are horror stories absolute horror stories and we can't let that

happen to the united states of america it's not a question of who wins republican democrat joe myself we can't let that happen to our country we can't be disgraced by having something like this happen so it will be hopefully cleared up maybe soon i hope soon but it'll probably go through a process a legal process and as you know i've claimed certain states and he's claiming state so we can both land the states but ultimately i have a feeling judges are going to have to rule but there's been a lot of shenanigans and we can't stand for that in our country thank you very much for. the outpouring of the allowance from the president of the united states doubting. the credibility and the validity of the very elect toral system that put him in office in 2016 and is threatening to take him out in 2020 calling

the election full of quote shenanigans. let's go to full team coverage here we have enos poll in washington and all of our solid in joe biden's home state of delaware enos let's turn to you let's go through if we could do just a quick fact check because donald trump said a lot of things in the last 25 minutes with very little evidence talking about 1st of all illegal 1st is either legal votes what does that even mean. really i think 1st of all we just have to kind of understand what just happened i mean it is a president that a sitting president is holding a come pain speech from the west wing i mean he basically was reading the trees from the last days wasn't it i think it's important to remind us what is going on here in this country became so used to make things and we must not stop reminding ourselves. how donald trump really is playing also i think we have to be

a little bit self-critical here. journalists as well well coming back to truth it is absolutely not true that elections are run by democrats actually quite the opposite in crucial states like pennsylvania. which is run by republicans and they i mean the stave. just like that does later asari is run by republicans and they created those rules which donald trump blames to be raked it is also not true one georgia and it's absolutely not true that the republicans own the senate so we still have like 2 crucial seats open as well in georgia so there were many things which were just pure which the president just told the nation

we all knew going into this that donald trump was going to try to do this and we all knew going into this it was going to be a long count ahead of us that the results on election night were not the final results a lot of mail in votes a lot of those mail of votes democratic votes because we were seeing already the numbers that were showing that democrats people who were believing in the coronavirus were worried about the court of ours didn't want to vote in person a lot of those being democratic votes oliver we have a quick. reuters poll out showing that 84 percent of those polled 93 percent democrats 70 percent republicans not buying what donald trump is saying trying to claim victory before the results are in what should we make of this what should we make of donald trump's support right now in what he's claiming to do. he and those polls doesn't really they don't really surprise me william it was really hard to follow all these allegations and claims that donald trump made they are simply

because of the fact that he addresses those claims in particular to his follower base and his follower base is not following. factual based news they're also getting their information from conspiracy theories q and on and many others and this is for claims that he's making there the claims that he's making there are they resonate on this kind of theory and it's very hard to follow up in understand what he's actually claiming they are 2 apart from what my colleague in his polling washington said of course the biggest part is the mail in ballots and that they suddenly show up as he said they find them somewhere which of course is not true as part of the democratic process and that's also what joe biden is making clear whenever he speaks and he did that a little while ago just behind me here at the biden headquarters really reiterating that everything what's happening right now is part of the electoral process the violence or be both are being counted and we just have to be patient and finish

what we also saw here william is a president that really wants to create this narrative that might be the ones he is not there anymore and that is it's him the underdog against the establishment this election as he said will still win but of course this is all baseless and we've heard that confirmed by international election observers. and including his own republican allies as enos pointed out many of these states either their state legislatures or their governors run by republicans george are one good example gabriel sterling says it right on his twitter profile he is a conservative and he is running the election counting in georgia. enos. donald trump talked a lot we just saw about all the people he did win the you know record minority support for. him blacks latinos. the year of the woman the republican woman he said ok that might be true he might he did get a lot more votes what did did did you know come out very strong stronger than many

people were saying but what do the numbers tell us right now and how this election is going. i think it's really interesting and important what all they were just there in delaware you know he blamed immediately when he started his speech the big media the big money and the big tank he always kind of once to present himself as a man of the people and all they were and i and others of our. news team we were able to travel this country for 6 weeks from one side of the state to the other and we talked to many many people and it was sometimes really stunningly how for example some african american in the state of los angeles told us that donald trump is the only person who is able to bring the united states back on track after the pandemic so many of them see him as strong still as

a businessman and joe biden wasn't able to convince people that he really has a plan the main message which kind of kept people from joe biden was and probably is that he presents himself of someone who can bring this country together and this most definitely is important because we experience the deep deep divides of the united states but you have to keep in mind in the midst of a horrible pandemic people are losing their jobs they're losing their health care they're losing their homes and they're hoping for a strong leader who brings the united states back on track as i just said and many people people still obviously think that this is president donald trump. all right stay with us innes and oliver we have a sound bite which want to run that donald trump some of the remarks you just made will come back to you enos for your thoughts but i've been talking about mail in

voting for a long time it's it's really destroyed our system it's a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they aren't by nature but they've become corrupt it's too easy they want to find out how many votes they need and then they seem to be able to find them they wait and wait and then they find them. talking about mail in ballots claiming they corrupt the system you know i can say i've been voting by mail for ever and it's just part of the system enos what do you have to say about what you make of that statement there. i mean you know william hague says so often with donald trump a little truth in it we see problems. with bella's in various countries the washington post just reported then more than 150000 ballots were caught in

the u.s. postal service processing processing more than 12000 in 5 of the states which. have to be called for either president trump all his challenger joe biden so there are problems because many states were not to use to do mail in ballots they decided to do so this year because of deming and then they want to wanted to enable people to go to were warriors to catch the wires but the some states had a hard time to get prepared for the situation but again it was a democratic. way how these decisions were made and there were like finalized before the election and it's absolutely i think untenable cratons to challenge these rules not because people trust that their mail in ballots would be counted and this is the core of

a democracy that you know the rules how voting wallets works and that you won't then gets counted that's right in many of these mail in ballot rules and measures put into place in these 50 states are based on the overseas voting rules which recently before had of the vote the c.e.o. of the u.s. both foundation told me is the gold standard for how to vote properly in an election we have one more sound bite let's have a listen then come back easily when if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. the election from us if you count the votes that came in late we're looking at them very strongly but a lot of votes came in i've already decisively won many critical states including massive victories in florida iowa indiana ohio to name just a few we won these and many other victories display historic election interference from big media big money and big tech now might be true all over the polls or

slightly off they always seem to be a little bit off is there anything that donald trump says that has any merit. well that's a hard question of course as he has pointed all there is always a little bit of truth to it but then it's always taken out of proportion there are so many examples that were of all false information that was spread by donald trump and his team in recent days and hours there was this one video of eric trump his son where he had posted be posted a video clip of allegedly trump votes that were trumped ballots that were burned it later turned out that these ballots were empty this is just one out of very many examples made to us all of course there are sometimes problems and irregularities but again no you see the international election of service say that those problems that were reported for example some mail ballots a couple thousands that were disappeared that the u.s.

postal service could not find any of that they were irrelevant in the end and they would not change the outcome of this election the counting goes on the states know what they're doing based on what we're seeing thanks for all of you joining us i'm waiting for praful have more news for you shortly. the fight against the corona virus 10 time it. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and contacts the coronavirus update 19 special. on d w. to free stuff for us and for planet. leaving money to those easily swayed to bring you

more conservation. to meet see the screen. how do we protect habitats. we can make a difference. the idea is the environmental series in total $3000.00 on t.w. and on. believe. the 2nd wave is crashing over europe and intensive care capacity is close to breaking point. germany could hit its limit next month france and switzerland my crack by mid-month. belgium could overrun capacity this week or next. what seemed like huge investments to expand hospital capacity now look totally inadequate. warning bells should have been ringing in early july after the

spring lock downs were east but only a few recognised the vibrations that heralded a tsunami of new cases. the experts warned us and for many countries the 2nd wave is already more savage than the 1st health systems are running at their limit in parts of eastern and western europe in belgium doctors and nurses a struggling to keep up the incidence of coronavirus cases there is the highest in europe at $3956.00 per 100000 people. this used to be the recovery room for patients who've had surgery now it serves as a makeshift intensive care unit for covert banking patients on life support hospitals of the belgian province of liers are now the epicenter of europe's 2nd wave and struggling to keep up we are not able to admit when you anymore so if a patient comes in the emergency room with

a 3 we have to transfer him to another of. the flemish. 4th devo tells us his team is not only short of beds but also personnel for one in 5 nurses in the region have. tested positive for the virus themselves but the pressure is so high that those who don't have symptoms continue to work under strict safety precautions doctors and nurses here are working tirelessly to take care of covert 900 patients some of them are even infected themselves but despite all efforts the health care system here in belgium has reached its breaking point as the overall number of infections continues to rise the actual number of infections is likely to be higher than the official figures across town at least as university hospital testing is ongoing. i can't smell or taste any more and i have a headache. because after the medics here can conduct 280 tests every day with

these tests are strictly for those who have a doctor's prescription or family members friends or coworkers who have been in close contact with them but don't show any symptoms cannot get a test for them or as the moment we have so many positive cases the problem is there are far too many contact persons given the huge number of people who have symptoms we'd be unable to test them as well as all the people they've been in contact with at least not with the amount of tests we have currently if we had more tests we probably could back in the covert ward dr duvall fears the lax handling of the crisis in summer will put him and his colleagues in a very difficult position very soon when you have only one bet and then people think or with them that you have to choose between the team that which one you were . no doctor want to do that's one thing it's like you know we all know a doctor who do that kind of thing we're all booked up to treat patients with which patient treating germany has started to take patients from belgian hospitals with

infections expected to continue to rise here in the coming weeks the medical staff already at their limit will need all the help they can get. so that if you want to is with st joseph's hospital in her just time what sort of capacity does germany have to take on patients from other countries right now. well we haven't ever it's nearly twice as much as you bet specked up a tad and the rest of europe and currently in germany are on 75 percent of the german i.c. you bet. so there is still a place room to move and we could take patients especially in. regions in germany from other european countries but there are reasons also in germany where the free capacity is below 10 percent and intensive care patients have to be moved to other hospitals and that binds intensive care physicians which

is a very scarce resource so when you think of a passage to use you have to keep in mind that the peak i.c.u. utilization would be 2 weeks after infections have peaks and there they haven't yet so there's still a marathon to go with when could they be well nobody knows. it depends on how good the people. bind themselves to the things. to stop being close together and to wear masks and stuff like that we have a new high. value today in germany to 20000 new infections this day how practical is that flying around coated patients from one hospital or country to the next. it's not very practical especially

when they don't anticipate it so you have to plan that in advance and try to bring patients who are not that's that severe ill who haven't been on ventilation yet so it's not easy to plan that because patients we know that it's not good for patients being ventilated and. have to be brought on on a long term the stuff shortages we hear about in belgium and the netherlands they've seen nosing homes and hospitals os doctors and nurses to keep working if they tested positive but a symptom matic is that safe i think that should only be done in a worst case scenario because the my r.t. of i.c.u. patients still do not have cold but other serious diseases and when these patients contract the guy iris from and checked it stat they are grave dangers so you have to keep in mind s. of to mattick people that doesn't mean they are healthy so we think we

should prevent this and our staff has to say l.c. and get a quick l.c. and this is very important because if you have to let these people work with the virus it's really not sick why then is the e.u. not coordinating a concerted a joint approach where we see countries helping out each other but not everything having to be dealt with on a bilateral level well we could have that done that. methods let's say with the corona happy we could have done that from the beginning all together. we didn't do that i don't know why would have been better i think so yes how foreseeable was all of this. the

2nd wave was clearly foreseeable people travel they socialized they enjoyed themselves and the sun and we have tried to do as much as we could by building and buying rest the ranges by training people but especially i.c.u. nurses. in all in all in europe a scarce resource and it takes 2 years training on top of the regular nurses training so kind of we have to work with what we've got and we have now in germany especially we have it's very important to take away paperwork from them so that they we need can spend all that time. with the patients and the other thing we could do is childcare you know to improve childcare in hospitals so especially during off hours what about high risk groups what else can be done to protect them so that they don't end up in intensive care in the hospitals.

it's you have to reduce osha contect use of as a p 2 must possibly and it jammed possibly but these measures make only sense when used together one is no substitute for the other and when you when we are talking about isolating risk groups we have to be an mind that. that in germany. the number on your journey around 20 percent due to the demographics and due to the illnesses of population belong to a risk group so targeting only risk groups with a color on astro city it will not work so sunny on a pleasure having you on the show today thank you very much thank you have a good day. if you want to hear more about europe's fight against code 19 in belgium you can download our weekly polka science unscripted train traveled to the

on the very worst days for mortality so far in the pandemic there have never been more than 10000 deaths attributed to the virus in 24 hours i think that the most this aspect of this crisis is that with the exception of a few countries food is actually available in many of the places that are suffering most famine isn't being only driven by a lack of food but also by the simple fact that people no longer have the means to buy it the hunger crisis is not only expanding rapidly because of disruptions in supply chains although that's certainly contributing to the problem it's also due to dropping income and many of the world's most vulnerable the poor who simply. can't afford to buy food for themselves and their families anymore and the crisis isn't just limited to regions that faced problems before the pandemic began tobit

19 is now also impacting food security for people in middle and high income countries from from india to brazil to the us. turk williams there was all in for any other developments on the virus which while website a developing dot com slash code 95 bucks. to the point of strong opinions clear positions international perspectives. america has followed suit but the outcome of the presidential election is posing more questions than answers above all who could reunite in reconcile this bitterly divided nation more on to the point shortly. to the point but do so the next the t.w. . gets upset for spectacular pictures.
