a russian military helicopter over armenia calling it. 2 crew members were killed. 20000 cases for 3 days we speak to the head doctor of. 3rd wave in spring. so we hope this wave will be less powerful when it comes to the rate of infection. 247 news keeping you in the know this is our to international you know neal with you this hour welcome another u.s. election and more claims of meddling only this time. but from the inside with donald trump accusing the democrats of mass voter fraud after joe biden was

proclaimed president elect. we believe these people are thieves the big city machines are corrupt this was a stolen election the best poster in britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election and it's impossible to imagine that biden out ran a bomb in some of the states where it mattered they stole what they had to steal the president tries he had to concede the election he claims there has been serious voter fraud and is buying legal action. i. heard in several

states between rival with several arrests made as well. as trump supporters stand by the president in questioning the election result. for many americans the 2020 us presidential election had so much riding on it it was symbolic a long awaited chance for justice to prevail for the country to correct the mistakes of 2016 at least that's how the media and many people saw it where were you in 27. when we had the worst president we could argue it's unfair to rank trump as a work person ever after just one year but clearly those scholars see in him a great potential worst in most dangerous president in the history of our country the worst one resumes america has ever had thousands of jubilant people celebrating on the streets a far cry from the scenes we saw after the last presidential election seemingly the only tears this time with those of joy. it's vindication for

a lot of people who have really suffered for years ago when trump won broadcasters showed scenes of people in shock and crying today a biden declaration shows coverage that would make you think jesus had returned all 4 hours might be exaggerating but to some it really looks like a savior of the senate upon america except this is a reality for only half of the country biden's predicted landslide or blue wave didn't happen and no matter how many times he was called the worst president in american history the worst president the country's ever had trump still managed to gain the support of close to half a lecture it and they alongside his campaign team are not giving up without a fight. i. was able people over and immediately. with the democratic leadership all trump has so far

also refused to concedes making a slew of allegations about the legality and accuracy of the voting process if you count the illegal votes easily when if you count the illegal votes 'd they can try to steal. the election from us and trump's team up behind him ready to do battle in the country's legal system and highest courts to stop what they see as an injustice these are a lawsuit will be brought starting on monday as you know from the very beginning the mail in ballots were a source of some degree of skepticism if not a lot of skepticism as being innately prone to fraud this fraud war between the trump and biding camps won't end anytime soon how do we know this well that simple the last one dragged on for trump's entire term a democratically elected president was accused of just about every wrongdoing trump is already acting like

a russian try. is actively or was actively colluding with russia hone told mahler's office about more contacts between trump's orbit and its it appears trump himself in russia they didn't believe trump when he denied there was any collusion for example so why should he give his of positives the benefit of the doubt what claims the president made yesterday were simply not supported you know i think what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on he needs to acknowledge the fact that he lost and he needs to congratulate the winner well it's not for us biden or trump to decide whether any wrongdoing took place during the 2020 lection it looks like math will be down to the supreme court but what we do know is that trump's 4 years in office might have taught him a valuable lesson about how to fight his battle and so far it looks like they'll be little unity along the way and you hawkins taking us through this while we guess

whether there is any merit to donald trump celebrations of ballot fraud. there's no doubt of that but that joe biden is the president elect and will take office at noon on the 20th of january next year there are no court cases that have any merit the margins are such that they are not capable of being disputed and it's also clear joe biden won the election by 5000000 votes the most votes that any candidate has ever gotten the country's polarized but there was an extraordinary turnout in this election largely because of donald trump but because a majority of americans did not want him to continue as president joe biden got it got over 50 percent of the vote for. hillary clinton and won by 3000000 votes but she didn't get 50 percent there are teams of lawyers in every state with question marks on them and their purpose is to put together their part of

a case that's going to be presented to the public and to justice as a full case that shows that the election outcome was altered by the fraud that it was that significant number to give you just one of those mathematical near impossibilities to show you how you can obviously see that things were done that are not right to vote for hillary clinton was very strong in a lot of democrats capital cities including the ones in the swing states joe biden got fewer votes than hillary clinton in every a major american city except for and those 4 are milwaukee detroit atlanta and philadelphia the 4 cities where much of the obvious to gain are you is going on so joe biden got more votes than hillary clinton coincidentally in the 4 capital cities of the swing states but less all across the rest of the country and

still he gets a record number 74000000 popular votes for president. how does that happen when only 4 cities have to make up a disadvantage to your previous jan today in the previous election it's just mathematically merely impossible i think there's a lot of circumstantial evidence a lot of self evident impossibilities like that and you have to assemble them all into a single detailed case and i think that's what president trump team of lawyers is doing right now. legal action has ramifications beyond american borders and europe has been taking an intense interest in the u.s. election with joe biden being widely hailed as president elect right now brazil's has expressed the hope bilateral ties will get a boost though some of the continent's political top brass are skeptical that things will actually improve under the new administration or to charlotte given state picks up the story and the e.u. leaders were signaling their congratulations to

a sense of relief i think in europe that biden is the president elect there was a lot welcome particularly over the fact that biden has said he would bring the u.s. back into the paris climate agree fold but there was also this carefully wooded suggestion about the challenges that are faced in the future and cooperation on those challenges together one of the big issues the european leaders are going to be thinking about is nato trump was seen as being divisive not particularly supportive of the alliance whereas joe biden's seen as somebody who is a big supporter of nato and may look to reinforce the alliance but there are some aspects of that that he won't be changing from the trumpet administration clued in perhaps the 2 percent of the g.d.p. that trump demanded that other nato members pay their fair share that's likely to remain the status quo and those the suggestion that joe biden would not be making a u. turn on other important decisions. joe biden isn't going to change washington's approach

to international issues overnight because he can't it's a mistake to believe that everything changes europe must above all count on itself nothing will be easy there are also many issues where i don't think anything is going to change there. there's also the issue of trade this is been a massive problem with all these tariffs that trump has been imposing on e.u. products over the last 3 years now joe biden comes into the presidency with a u.s. trade deficit of $170000000000.00 u.s. dollars with the e.u. so trade is something that is going to be continuously a difficult issue there's also talks coming up over the digital tax on tech giants which of course friction over the past year or so and there is this continuing dispute over subsidies for airbus and boeing so that is unlikely to resolve itself very soon now the e.u.

has also been pushing ahead with this agenda of more sovereignty in defense in trade trying to perhaps sort of rally itself up against the u.s. and that is also unlikely to change when it up this marks a new chapter in european history one where europe is independent where we can be proud of our european culture and identity will be able to stand up against china against the united states against the disorder we are currently witnessing european strategical told them is goal number one for generation we're sending a message not only door citizens but also to the rest of the world europe is the world power and then of course there's the issue of bragg's it those negotiations not going to well between the u.k. and the e.u. but the e.u. is hoping that a biden presidency will not give special treatment to the u.k. particularly if there is no deal breaks it so lots of issues that europe is waiting

to find out about but the reality is joe biden has so much on his plate domestically trying to create the harmony within the u.s. and let's not forget that trump gained more than 70000000 votes trump is and is alive and kicking and joe biden is going to have to do an awful lot to reach out to those voters. we spoke to current knesset austria's former minister of foreign affairs she believes that. is with europe will not be a u.s. priority personally i don't see the european union issues being top on their chanda we might believe that we are so important that washing wakes up in the morning and now cares for us and promise that about how to repair the alliance how to get back to better relations with the various e.u. member states no i think they are 1st and foremost foreign policy agenda with the the people's republic of china and how to handle all the open issues with them but

personally i would share the position by the former president of to you being commissioner jocular do you think is going to change because although he constitution a lot and there are certain konstanz. factors that continue one of them is the trade deficit and the other one is to treat this and of course the burden sharing within the alliance well we will of course be staying across the latest developments in the u.s. election legal challenges and all donald trump seeks to prolong his stay in the oval office joe biden january inauguration. ok to another headline stories today also has apologized for shooting down a russian military helicopter over armenia near

a space 2 crew members were killed in the incident and the 3rd survived artie's patrik are told me more. it took the observer johnny saad only a few hours to admit that it was their military behind the downing of the russian plane and to issue an apology they're making it clear that it was a tragic accident citing poor visibility darkness and also in general how heightened the pressure is on their military at this point which automatically makes this escalation much less dangerous and shows that perhaps at this point for their body john all the combat zone fighting in which is about 170 kilometers away from the crash site is enough that they don't want to bring this conflict on to a whole new level they don't want to expand this war geographically if indeed that attack was a mistake so here's

a part of that statement of apology from the foreign ministry as a by john visits apologies to russia for this tragic incident it was accidental and was not directed against russia as well as john is ready to pay compensation the russian combat helicopter me 24 was attacked in armenian airspace but very close to the border with us or by john as it was accompanying a russian convoy of military vehicles that are permanently stationed in armenia there was a russian military base there that appeared that was set up a long time ago and the units and the russian hardware there is stationed there aren't taking part in the nagorno-karabakh call so that helicopter was hit by a surface to air missile the aircraft lost control and crashed in a mountainous area of armenia 2 people were instantly killed and one of the crew members was injured he's being treated in hospital and has already been brought

back to that russian base now again like i said potential. this situation was explosive but now with that apology from us there by john it looks like things have calmed down and perhaps what the sides should do right now is focus on the settlement of 'd the conflict in a go in a car back or prior to the president announce the capture of a strategic tel in the disputed province of qana bucks sparking celebrations in the streets of gaza by shells defense ministry said the turn of shashi being liberated from the i mean occupation after more than 20 years she lies on the main road connecting a corner cupboard with armenia here's what the local leadership has been saying. we must now acknowledge that the chain of misfortune has befallen us and the town of she she is completely out of our control any hopeful or inspiring propaganda

will only serve to distance us from the reality the start does a city of shows she is now under the control of the over the azerbaijani army that has been confirmed now by johnny started after that they have published a video showing that the as a bridge on the force is controlling the city of the streets of city of shushi but the but the question now what's next what city will be next is it a step on occurred or maybe there will be this settling in shoes they will have a break maybe after 4 or 5 days of heavy fighting across the region of the core of aka here in armenia the people of the spirit they are fill that if they have been left down and they don't know what to do actually and we can notice that in their faces because they have suffered a lot they have given

a lot of the drug and all these 4 for more than one month. and they sick roofies the lot. now the fighting had been settled for a break as we believe but we still receive some information from our source of this deployment that. the shelling is still on occurred and that the city of moore don't need to the norm are too many so the north and also the role of the connects now gormley corrupt i mean yeah it's a matter of time now with the arrival of azerbaijani forces there has sparked a mass exodus of civilians in these images from sunday you can see a line of traffic leading out of the main city step occurred the disputed provinces been the focus of intense fighting since late september the 3 attempted cease fires it is legally part of hers a majority armenian population and has been pushing for independence since the early 1990 s.

this latest flare up in the 30 year futures left hundreds dead global offers a list paul robinson believes the as yuri advances a major setback for the median forces. is one of the major cities in. it's also very easily defensible positions. on the heart of the mountains and if the forces i'm not going to. i'm able to retain control of and that bodes very ill. future success in this war and now reports are saying that as every forces are coaching the council they're going to. not going to kind of panic. and it looks as if the position of the armenian they're going to cut about forces there it is not looking good this is our to international still ahead we hear from the chief doctor addresses main code hospital about the latest surge in case numbers here we've got plenty more in 90 seconds and counting.

it. seems wrong. to shape

our. trail. 22 minutes into the program very welcomed by the us form a pseudocode joint follies or corona virus vaccine has been proven 98 percent effective in large scale trials the news has been met by widespread optimism but the governor of new york where the firm is based saying is it's not all positive. the bad news is that it's about 2 months before joe biden takes over and that means this administration is going to be implementing

a vaccine plan when manufacturing of the pfizer drug is already underway and trials will continue into december it's part of a volved effort to find a working code 19 vaccine known in the u.s. at least the process has been highly politicised we will massless tribute to the vaccine in just a few short weeks it will quickly eradicate the virus and wipe out the china play once and for all if the doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us i said to him that we've taken i'm not taking we heard from dr john dombrowski director of the washington pain center he said the political point scoring risks undermining the government's faxing strategy the covert 1000 pandemic at least in the united states is been a political football a thing to hurt donald trump the economy they will play up and the other side is this is the same way so i think it's very scary that we're here with we're seeing this tremendous and tragic intersection between politics and science which is not

the way to move forward and we need to educate people what we've done now is politicized and we need to take down the temperature they've done this study has done for several months for it you know 46000 patients and there's a large number and they show that the effectiveness is quite high 90 percent and the safety profile is quite high so we've not seen those same issues on the 2nd m.s. kind of neurologic problems that you would get such as astra zeneca had. while here in russia they covered 1000 pandemic a spiralling with the daily rate of new infections topping 20000 for the past 3 days the main infection from moscow some petersburg those 2 settings have imposed a number of pandemic will think looting munda tree musk's gloves in public places to cope with the growing infection rate law school has opened a number of field hospitals artie's russian chela went to check out the conditions

of kosovo polling. for free for almost 2. years of. the 2nd week how's a different from the 1st i think people have become less vigilant what do you mean people get used to it yes people got used to it but there are those who refuse to believe there are 2 groups now those who are extremely concerned about coronavirus know what it is who lost their loved ones and those who say you were all myers in the summer we relaxed let ourselves go and here you are we are seeing the consequences of this in autumnal what did we relax because there were some objective reasons for that or were we just being stupid no we are not stupid we are just human beings how many temporary 1000 hospitals were set up moscow 5 and all

them can accommodate over a 1000 patients approximately 430 to have sort of the report of. the pulse of earth but it was a quarter for much of the. news and it will. slowly ventilators has the survival rate grown since march for patients on a ventilator it hasn't changed much what is the rate 25 percent however our approach has changed a lot of them for us now placing a patient on a ventilator as a last resort when all other possible treatments are exhausted before them really from birth and this is not the feeling of the most the middle of the earth the parable of us. over the if we. take him with them is

meaningless what the hell has the hospitals work changed since march knickers on the one hand the team has gained confidence in their actions but on the other hand everyone is exhausted. when will you be able to get back to normal routine work we expect a 3rd wave in spring the usual season for all viruses so we hope this wave will be less powerful when it comes to the rate of infections and if it goes like this probably by june we will be back to normal i hope so but maybe even earlier we'll see a morning with the short answer. if

you'd like to have your say in any of those stories wind up leave a comment or 2 on our facebook page always lively there of an evening. this is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex court cases. you know some of us did lee leave who lives out there. who were not. the person that. the cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all be off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment it will do for women on death row. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

thinks. we dare to ask. the tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to the person who falsely from the past actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior once a false confession is taken the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't. hello

and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle biden claims victory but what about those who voted for trauma well they say now not my president and is europe facing another wave of terrorism is neo liberal ideology showing signs of exhaustion. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest lebanese and in oslo he's an associate professor at the university.
