3:10 pm
biden the president elect is no stranger to the senate. he's devoted himself to public service for many years also one of the road droid device for example look are calling from california senator her. beyond our differences all americans can take product or a nation has a female vice president. for the very 1st. i look forward to finishing out the next 36 days strong with president traub our nation needs us to another partition chapter to this record of achievement on monday the electoral college cost the votes to give biden 83062232 win over donald trump officially making him the 46th president of america still there hasn't yet been any concession from the white house is trying to continues with fraud allegations during november's vote some senior republicans have finally acknowledged the results while others have
3:11 pm
vowed to keep contesting the outcome. if we only counted lawful votes cast by eligible american citizens donald trump won the electoral college be the states have a certified their votes the courts resolve the disputes it looks very much like the electors will vote for joe biden and when they do. i hope that he puts the country 1st and let the legal process play out but if you want to restore trust by millions of people who are still very frustrated and angry about what happened that's why you've got to have this whole system play out there will be a president sworn in on january 20th but let's let this legal process play itself out. i'm not joined by former pennsylvania senator bruce marks thank you for joining us on the program it's good to see you the worry is the republican party still divided despite the electoral college confirmation. ok we've been to an arm of the allegheny think of the pictures not. oh there you go bruce can you hear me.
3:12 pm
yes i can hear you you have me yes yes we've got you back now so once again why is the republican party still divided. well i think people are coming to grips me the republican party has people of all different views there are still a process by which the president can challenge the election in the courts and there are a number number of people in the party who think that he should have the opportunity to complete his challenge and i think that we're waiting to see if how those cases are going to resolve there are a number of cases right now there in front of the united states supreme court i can tell you for sure as i'm aware of them that there's going to be at least another case in front of the u.s. supreme court and while it looks like obviously that joseph biden has won because he got the electoral votes it's not over till it's over and it won't be over until
3:13 pm
. i'm so with mitch mcconnell's comments that how is this looking to now has they did pay to ship become detached from the space. but no i don't think it has. mitch mcconnell has his own views on what's best for the party and particularly for the senate there are 2 very critical elections for senate in georgia that are scheduled i believe for january 5th if the republicans can win those 2 seats then they will control the senate which is of enormous importance for republicans in for freedom so the joe biden is that if he's the president and the house of representatives controlled by nancy pelosi opiate will run roughshod over the country like they did when president obama was president so i think that leader mcconnell is taking that into consideration. and would rather than the senate not get involved in the presidential dispute. that's my view and i think the legacy of
3:14 pm
donald trump hangs over his response to the incoming president say. well i think at the end of the day of it turns out the donald try. that is not reelected in the course that's how it looks the congress is scheduled to to meet on january 6th and i think people pretty much. recognize that that's going to be the last date if the congress accept the electors based on the boats that have taken place so forth and i think it would be important for donald trump to do everything he can to continue to assess assist joe biden in the transition but at terms of his legacy he's i don't know that the last 2 weeks of his presidency are determinant of his of his legacy he's been president you know for 3 years for 3 who have been president for 3 years and 50 weeks and he's got
3:15 pm
a tremendous legacy in that time including by the time that it looks like the election we finally result. the vaccines for covert 1000. will be substantially distributed here in the united states from a pennsylvania senator 1st not thank you very much for your time. ok i hope that you have the vaccines in russia to thank you very much and thank you for joining us here on out the international web back at the top of the hour.

europe isn't alone in its opposition to these big companies just last week 48 u.s. states together with the federal trade commission filed a lawsuit against facebook and accused the company of pumping money into unfair competition we asked experts whether this latest move could keep the big tech companies in check. the idea behind this is to not try to too narrow it into just one kind of tech but across all the tech spectrum of so-called gatekeepers the e.u. has consistently is lined amazon find google find facebook for violating their rules over and over a key problem here is the fact that these companies continue to break the law france and germany continually say facebook is violating the law google is violating the law so they assigned them record size fines these companies build this into their actual bottom line in terms of a line item in their budgets to say we're going to pay fines because we're going to
3:19 pm
break the rules the penalties are enormous we're talking about 10 percent of global turnover and then if there is a persistent noncompliance that could be increased to 5 percent of daily then over there you worldwide but over the e.u. saying hey you know we want to be able to to give internet companies we want to give them an opportunity to compete do facebook and google will just have to accept the new reality. to the new rule it is difficult to see facebook pulling out of the e.u. altogether could see the ball the reality is that the village solution technologies every 2 different speeds and the new are not able to for the evolution of technology sloan's keep for this reason that we are attempting to up the tail inches if you stayed in the 20 years ago you cannot force tech giants are to fall

idea of the idea of it's good it's just the placement i think is a little off to maybe it should mean more towards a city or town. my concerns mostly focused around the facilities in the area and the fact that it will be the other sort of the a 3 a $320.00 shops or any other buildings like that it's just going to cause a danger i think with people trying to cross the carriage but the issue here is that's a field in the middle of the countryside with no facilities and their services so whatever happens those people are going to have to walk somewhere or hit children to get any services that. the strong like. a petition by council to stop the home office from implementing the idea has been saturated but some in the local council are more welcoming of the idea i sent in the falklands in 1800 it was devastation all around people to death that they couldn't see any that they were trying to devastation of warfare is right and we don't understand that relieving
