US election: Fact vs conspiracy – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



As misinformation over the US election result continues to grow, Newsnight takes a look at how the battle between conspiracy and fact is shaping — what is soon to be — post-Trump America. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog

The American election may have been decided — but President Trump is still fighting President-elect Biden in the courts. Tonight in Georgia — where runoff elections in January could decide the balance of power in the Senate —  the results of a recount are expected imminently.

In the election President Trump was voted for by a broad coalition of over 70 million Americans, but now the longer he refuses to concede, the more the anger and conspiracy theories start to fly amongst his more ardent fans.

Newsnight’s International Editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Georgia. There is some strong language in this film.

    14:01 "The party of riots". Notice how she's not talking about the Republicans who will be OK with the Capitol riot and who voted to acquit Donald Trump the person who was incited the January 6th riot.

    Every year there are 3-4% of ballots in Georgia that are rejected because of violations. In 2020 ZERO were rejected. Now call it what you will but that is screwy.

    Give me a break GQP; if Democrats were "rigging" elections, we would already have universal health insurance, no-tuition education, Fair Trade, and revenue-neutral-carbon-taxing, etc., etc., etc.

    Sadly media on both sides have fueled so much of this. Lies on both sides. The 2020 election was won by Biden. Folks weren’t happy when Trump took 2016, but they didn’t make up lies or try and stop the ratification of the valid electoral vote count. True Conservatives and I have lost the Republican party to a dangerous base. It’s sad.

    I'm somewhat an expert on election fraud, coming from Chicago, where we PROVED that Nixon won in 1960. The sham election was supported by all news organs, even Murdoch's Orthodox sons interfering with America as usual. Important Republicans are on Soros's payroll or partied with Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell's daughter, so the 700 VIPs blackmail scheme of CIA-MOSSAD covers all the bases, as we Yanks say. These closet communists are building up Red China for the next big war. Why won't you brainless television watchers wake up? Oh, perhaps that is the reason why.

    What do former MI5 spooks do when short of cash? They spin lies into scripts for that same media at the behest, and in the pay of the democrat party-which in turn sells the script to FBI, who pays for them with our money- to crush a presidential campaign and smear the candidate as a Russian agent. The BBC does it's part in repeating and magnifying the lie.

    But when common citizens proclaim their suspicions that the Corporate-State Nexus seems to have conspired to subvert their election, the BBC is skeptical. Once again, they do their master's bidding.

    Brits– it may be time for you to consider your own war for independence!

Ukrainians in Russian-occupied areas told to be ready to fight for Russia – BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine’s progress against Russian forces in its southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia has been far more limited than its successes in the north-east.

Both sides come under regular fire as they rely heavily on artillery to push forward.

The crackdown on people who do not support Russian rule in occupied areas is rising, with soldiers going door-to-door to check on who lives in each house and whether they could be drafted into fighting for Russia.

Govt will apply “extreme caution” to easing lockdown – BBC News

Published

on



The government has said it will exercise “extreme caution” over lifting the lockdown. Ministers stress it will be a gradual process, not a single leap to freedom. It comes as the Prime Minister prepares to address the nation, to set out the next phase in tackling the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile major airlines have called for clarity after being told that the government will bring in a 14-day quarantine for anyone arriving in the UK, from any country apart from the Republic of Ireland.

The transport secretary Grant Shapps has called on people to walk and cycle to work, once the lockdown restrictions are eased in England. He said it was a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to transform the way people get around.

Senior clerics are urging the government to act cautiously before allowing places of worship to reopen. All churches, mosques, synagogues and temples closed their doors almost two months ago.

Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News reports from Political Correspondent Ben Wright, Environment Correspondent Justin Rowlatt and Religion Editor Martin Bashir.
