people in bondi have been on edge for days now that's after the armed movement calling it south patriots quali should for change threaten to march to the city and destruct the vote the group's leaders didn't want an election but a transitional government and the full implementation of a peace deal signed between 14 armed groups and the government in $219.00 despite their patente palling stations opened on time and voting in the capital was fairly smooth he said i am here to vote for peace i haven't had a board problems is not a battle of the country but i had to do my beat president for steen where there has been arching people to help security forces stop the rebels the national army backed by un peacekeepers randon forces russian military instructors in private security contractors are all. on the ground france also has a military presence in the central african republic. every 5 years central african 3 to choose their leader responsible for this mission are there any in and the constitutional court and the date set is the 27th this is what all central africans come to boat and i mysel

officials observers i guess are still here in bondi everything is going on smoothly we've not had any major incidents but we are hearing reports from the provinces that have been incidental in incidents in several towns particularly in the north in the west and some parts of the east as well bria a bomb that saw. these are some of the important towns are being told in some places people are still hiding out in the bushes so they're not able to come to vote in other areas polling stations polling materials have been banned we're hearing that in one particular town people woke up to cancel so they're not able to vote in many of those towns polling stations have not opened as well but we have spoken to the u.n. officials saying that despite all this problems most of the country 80 percent of the country is safe enough for people to vote for people to go and vote so it's going to be interesting how this day plays out and more importantly it's going to be interesting to see how the voter turnout is going to be. more than a 1000 refugees and migrants are stranded hours in the open in freezi

i witnessed it firsthand in pennsylvania, specifically in philadelphia, where pam bondi and i had a court order that allowed us to go in and they refused to let news. if the state has nothing to hide, i don't understand what they're afraid of, of having partisan poll watchers observing. the most important part is when they separate the ballots from the outside envelopes so verification of the signature. georgia has to allow this to happen. the leadership is critical for our success. >> hannity: i watched corey that day. you were with pam and you were with mayor giuliani. then we played the video of the guy that wasn't even allowed -- had a credentialed poll watcher observer and they didn't even let him in the building in one case, until much later. dave? >> i just want to say thanks to ronna. her leadership has been tremendous through the last four years. what she's doing right now in georgia is tremendous. she's forcing the secretary of state and the governor to follow their own law, which she shouldn't have to be in the position to do that in the first place. i was getting phone calls f

area that's why so important but here in bondi everyone is quite worried about the security situation the election if they can't do a 4th and they opposition leader think that this election needs to be postponed because of the security issues but government officials we talked to are saying that that is not an option a small village in rural south africa is caught up in a dispute over the expansion of a mine it's dividing friends neighbors and pitting businesses against traditions and the environment now tensions have been heightened by the killing of an activist . has more from nato problems. no one has lived in this house since he was murdered in the 65 year old environmental activist had opposed the expansion of one out of africa's largest open coal mines in tal province her grandson told the police 2 men came to the gate at night and asked for water to drink one of the guy's eyes which they don't know they can you guys called it for us so as the boys will holding their dogs the guys 2 guys would have came in and then they had to shoot. in there he said to me we had another shot an

extensively he joins us live from senegal if he does decide to go ahead with this threat and march on bondi due to the optics in the run up to this election well the march has actually started now in the name of concert with a himself but we know that 11 armed groups some of the signature of this statement against the president essentially have started deploying their troops have called on armed groups to head towards the capital bangui and as a result the $12000.00 strong un peacekeeping force have taken position on main arteries leading to the capital so has been deployed the central african republic army that was trained by the russians that is out in the port to try to stop any of these forces from entering the capital just one week before this much anticipated presidential election so why are they all marching towards the capital simply because they say the president is not respecting the agreement that they had signed in $21000.00 in khartoum which was in effect to give these armed groups leaders a position in government but also funds so that they could disarm so that's why they're h

interesting that it appears some of those pardoned tonight were represented or at least pushed by pam bondia attorney general, some in the last batch pushed by rudy giuliani. there's a question of how broad this network goes of this whole pardon activity. but at the end of the day, i think what we know, tiffany, from donald trump's pardon activity is this. we are pushing up to the threshold where donald trump will make a decision whether or not to pardon possibly himself or members of his family for behavior and activity not yet charged. and that is a new area. he likely has that authority to pardon any behavior and activity not yet charged. that's the threshold donald trump has to decide whether or not he's going to cross in the next 30 days. >> so, neither of these guys were currently in prison. paul manafort was released earlier this year because of concerns about covid. meanwhile, one in five prisoners in this country has been diagnosed with covid. and these guys, you know, after breaking the law get to roam about free. paul butler, i want to bring you back in the conversation. do you a
