beatrice the new start arms control treaty between the u.s. and russia it's one of the most important nuclear arms agreements in the post cold war era it's been close to collapse but it now looks like both countries might extend it possibly for another year or do you believe that we'll see an extension and if there is a breakthrough or ever rather if there's not a breakthrough how much more dangerous does the situation become. yeah i mean i certainly hope that there will be an extension as we said earlier that this is the last. sort of perrier to a full scale nuclear arms race between the russian the united states where they can just uncontrolled increase their arsenal massively very important that they extend that i know there's a lot of work going on right now a lot but it's also a lot of uncertainty in the motivation of these demonstrations what they actually are if they're actually interested or they are just pretending to be interested. but i do think it's very important to remember that this is not extending your start it's not actually

will positively contribute to that and beatrice from your vantage point which is more worrying which is more concerning the fact that the us has threatened countries that have signed on to this treaty have asked them to rescind their commitments or the fact that none of the acknowledged nuclear powers have signed up to begin with. well i mean as an immediate step we are obviously very concerned that the united states is asking countries to withdraw from a multilateral instrument regulating into a i mean we haven't seen a withdrawal from the most natural nuclear weapons since that north korea and the empathy and to develop its nuclear weapons and that's certainly nothing that anyone should support or want to see again so that's extremely concerning but the real threat of course is the continued modernization as a new sort of nuclear arms race the threats progress to make with them all the 9 nuclear arms states that are continuing to invest you know trillions of dollars into this weapon even doing out a full blown pandemic. so i think that's really the key challenge now that we need to

beatrice, how historic a milestone is this treaty?we would say that it's extremely significant and a historic achievement, much in line with other huge legal developments over the past century, the u.n. charter, the geneva conventions, the ban on biological weapons, the ban on chemical weapons, the ban on landmines, and now the ban on nuclear weapons. this treaty follows on all these legal instruments that constrain states' behavior in warfare and protect the world and protect people. >> how many nuclear bombs are there in the world? how quickly can they be launched? >> i mean, there are estimates of thousands of warheads that are available to the countries that are both nuclear weapon states, under the nonproliferation treaty, as well as those countries which are outside the nonproliferation treaty and possess nuclear warheads. i think in total it comes to several 1000 warheads. -- several thousand warheads. they can be launched in the matter of minutes, depending on which arsenal you are talking about. the risk certainly is pretty h

take a look at this heartwarming picture of 102-year-old beatrice, casting their ballot.. in 1940, when she was born, women couldn't vote. if you note, if we could see beatrice's actually filled out ballot in the photo, perhaps she'd be guilty of a crime. illinois is one of the states including north carolina, texas and florida showing your ballot once completed or asking someone to show you theirs is agains the law. so, you'll notice that new york resident whoopi goldberg was careful to blur her ballot to avoid being charged with a misdemeanor. there was a high-profile example that we discussed in 2016, justin timberlake posted and then deleted a selfie of his vote in memphis where he could have been punished with 30 days in jail or a fine. he wasn't. a local attorney said it wasn't worth using their limited resources to pursue the matter. "the new york times" suggests that 2020 could see a lot of selfie violations because many are voting by mail or being at home to vote. here's a map that shows how different states deal with the selfie issue. no clear laws banned or oth

questions and there have been a few common questions that we've received including this one from beatrice hall. she asks i've made a mistake on an initiative in cross it out an initial did it will it still be counted. we spoke to an election official to find out. >>the answer is yes. you can cross out the wrong answer what you need to write the current mean you need to mark the other target and put correct by that. and then what happens with those ballot is they are kicked out by our machine because it looks like the person voted, yes and no and they ask human eyes to look at that so that we can fix that so yes we can fix that for miss hall. what she's done is probably ok, but if she just crosses out to know. it won't come true she has also marked a yes or vice versa. >>now if you have questions send an e-mail to voting problems at kron 4 dot com and all have answers to more questions. coming up on kron 4 news at 5, 6, 8, as well as on our streaming service kronon so go ahead and download for free in your app star state. >>and all right, another news after an almost two-year investigation

host: so beatrice, where have you been getting your election news on election night?ow do you plan to find out what has happened during the election? caller: i will probably watch the news on tv, probably switch between several different channels. i normally don't just depend on one new station because they can be biased, no matter which one you look at. host: let's talk to james calling from raines lee, maine. he has not decided who to vote for. caller: good morning, how are you? host: just fine. what will push you one way or the other? caller: i am very disappointed in the whole political system. we have these politicians saying everything, but they are not doing a thing for the country or the people. it is all about themselves, the money, and whatnot, and it is very frustrating and i don't know why the people of the united states don't get this. they are just playing us for fools. they are power-hungry, looking for money. we have senators that have been here that have nothing gotten done, they are worth millions. how did they get those millions? they didn't get it

it's a quote attributed to voltaire by beatrice evelyn hall. it was more of a description of voltaire's character. that he believed in a principle so firmly that even when it disadvantaged him to his point of death, he would defend it. who in this chamber argued four years ago that during an election year there should be no debate or vote on a nominee and has that voltairean character to defend it when it's inconvenient today, not even inconvenient to point of death, just inconvenient because of some pressure you might receive politically. who will stand up and be that voice of character in this chamber? we all await to see just a few people stand up and be a voice of principle in this chamber. we all stand here and wait for just a few people to be a voice of integrity in this chamber. the country waits for a position that can be admired of principle, of character and of integrity. it's not just that passionate argument four years ago. it's also about breaking rules. just the other day the chairman of the judiciary committee broke the committee
