Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day
"irish times" Discussed on Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day
"It's merriam Webster's word of the day for November 30th. Today's word is liquidity spelled quyi. Liquidity is a noun. It refers to the essence of a thing that is, whatever makes something the type of thing that it is. Liquidity can also refer to a small and usually trivial complaint or criticism or to a quirk or eccentricity in someone's behavior. Here's the word used in a sentence from the Irish times by Peter Murphy. This is typical of author Karl ove kono score. He observes a subject so closely mining so far into its essence, its liquidity, that the observations transcend banality and become compelling. In other words he draws the space between the objects. When it comes to synonyms of the word liquidity, the cues have it. Consider the word quintessence, a synonym of the essence of a thing, meaning of liquidity, and quibble, a synonym of the trifling point use. And let's not forget about the word quirk, like liquidity, quirk can refer to a person's eccentricities. Of course, liquidity also comes from a cue word. The Latin pronoun quiz, which is one of two Latin words for who, the other is qui Q UI. Quid QID, the neuter form of quis, led to the medieval Latin quit itas, which means essence, a term that was essential to the development of the English word quit.

Welcome to the show, Johnny. Thank you. Thanks, James. Good to be with you. Yeah. So I think I first met you. You were at page view or page fair, not page view. So that was years ago. And maybe before we get into the nitty Gritty, maybe just sort of like, how do we get from there to here? What was the, you know, what's the through line from your earlier work? I know you were at the Irish times and page fair sort of publisher solutions as well. So from there to where you are now, how that happened. Yeah, okay. Well, I had previously worked in a think tank that was focused on European policy. And I remember sitting in page fare, and reading the GDPR. Which at that point was law, but it was not yet. Applicable, because we had this two year period to get our House in order. And I remember reading it and thinking, we are involved in the real-time bidding industry. We work with, I think, at that point, we were working with index and as I was then known up nexus and a few others. And what we were doing, I think, was a lot cleaner than most, but it was immediately apparent to me that we were going to have to change our business. If we were if we were going to be behaving lawfully, when the GDPR was applied, so we began in page fair.

"On with Putin and Ukraine Just killing my country Solitary Saturday night last comes over the some of my songs are relevant even 50 years later Yeah Well and again these two albums that you've rerecorded And Graham Nash I am a big fan of your work but there are people who know me who might be thinking cynically that the reason I'm talking to you is because those two albums you made after your breakup with Joni Mitchell Can we just talk about her for one second If you wish I do Very much And you do too The title of an article in the Irish times quotes you most of the sad songs on these albums are about my relationship with Joni Mitchell She is an amazing woman you know She's beautiful of course And incredibly talented songwriter probably one of the most talented songwriters of that age And a great painter also you know she paints with paint and she also paints with words Yeah Well and as you know you are very happily married to a woman you describe as the love of your life Yes But you know here you are revisiting these albums in this music that you wrote in some cases about her Yes those sad songs like I used to be a king and simple man They were about my relationship being over with John And so that's why I called them sad songs Yeah What happened You know you've said that she told you something so poetic If you hold sand in your hand too tightly it will slip through your fingers Yes That was a telegram that John sent me from madela in Greece I think John thought that if we married that I would demand that she just cook and take care of the house which is the furthest thing from my mind of course how could you possibly inflict that kind of information on joanie Yeah I didn't want to speak to you just to speak about my idol Joni Mitchell I do want to ask you you know you are reflecting back because these are albums that you've rerecorded What happens when that happens I have to sing my songs regardless of when they were written with the same passion that I had when I wrote them And I'm able to be able to go back and sing those songs knowing full well that they mean a great deal to my audience But one has to move on you know One has to live life and realize what's happening And check out the reality of what's going on and move forward Yeah Well and so much of what you wrote about is as you just pointed out ongoing I mean you.

"For their own. When it comes to my country, we don't really do that. The idea that we would celebrate and appointment in terms of somebody joining a backroom staff, even at a club like Manchester United, it might be a little footnote in the news. You know, but again, that's maybe a reflection of an established football country not a very successful one. I would have to say, but an established one and a country that still trying to make its way from the point of view of being respected around the world. So I completely see that. And yeah, Americans should absolutely say, yeah, why not? Chris Armas, more power to you. Remind me where Sir Alex Ferguson is from Derek ray. Well, sadly, he's from Glasgow. I'm from Aberdeen, but he did manage Aberdeen my hometown club. So when you've got that type of manager waving the flag for a country, it's very easy to say, what are you guys getting excited about? But I agree with you and listen, this is U.S. soccer, Twitter, it's American Twitter it's Concacaf in general how the excitement goes. Let's not downplay this. Let's not downplay this. This might be the this profile position at U.S. managers ever had. I was just trying to say that again. This may be the highest profile position a U.S. managers ever had. And you're out here downplaying it. Could be, I'm not saying it's not, it's still an assistant coach in an interim basis, but yes, and it's a domino effect so there is something. Listen, anytime there is a coach, assistant coach, whatever the fact may be. And whatever country he's from, whatever, football and culture he's from. You can be sure those eyeballs will still be there. He will keep tabs on what's going on in Concord. Maybe that's a door opening for Manchester United, whether that's player development or whether that's first team or that's coaching or scouting. It can benefit the region. That said, I think the bigger question here is, Chris Armas, who had a relatively tough go at Toronto FC all of a sudden going to be the number two or part of the coaching staff at Manchester United. Maybe he's better as a two. That could be a reality. He's just a better as a two. And as a head coach, you want players or sorry, coaches around you that you trust that you know you can implement your style and that could buy into your philosophy and can help you spread that message. This was what maybe Chris Armas can do. It doesn't mean he's failing up because I've been seeing a lot of that online lady. You can fail up. Chris Armas had a rough go at it and New York. He had a rough go at it at Toronto, and that's all it may be. He was a head coach there. Maybe it's the two he's better. Derek to your point about excitement over this. I want to read you guys a sub headline here from the Irish times because not everybody has excited as Chris Armas about Chris Armas as maybe we are here on football America. Here it is. Meet Chris Armas, man United's new coach who's never worked in Europe and had horror Toronto rain, but backed by Ragnar. So maybe the press there does need to warm up a little bit to Chris almost. There's some good here though for him and that is one. This sets up really, really nicely for his next job. And it reflects very well on him because Ralph Ragnar is not bringing in a whole staff here. He's only bringing in, I think, one, two, maybe three guys to compliment the Manchester United staff that was left behind or what's left of it from the oligarch. So it's not like there were ten positions here. There was only a couple in Chris armis got one of them. That says something. Even if we only had one position to give out her. I know that we would have that invite go to Derek ray after this appearance on football America. Derek, thank you so much for the time. Great to have you with us and I really hope we do it again soon. Any time guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the invitation. Take care, deck. Delf here in New York City lockhorns in the Eastern Conference final. The union needed penalties to see how dash within the last round, Taylor. What a week. What a four days for the Philadelphia union. They will be missing 11 players today. 9 of those keys. But it's also a reminder where we are because Major League Soccer isn't the only league in this country that has had its struggles in the NHL. You've seen the NBA in the NFL to a certain extent be reminded of what COVID can do to a season. I said it to our group all week. Sometimes the most dangerous thing is a group of men or women with nothing to lose. Or it was the story of the weekend in Major League Soccer 11 Philadelphia union players ruled out a Sunday Eastern Conference final against New York City FC over COVID-19 protocols that forced 6 changes to the team that beat Nashville in the conference semifinals despite that hilly pilly actually grabbed the lead. How about that? Hey, quick lead, but that's all it was a very quick lead. Bald movement on the keeper. I get it, but this is a save you have to Perry why. You can't force that in the middle, keeps it alive. Maximum levels it up. Yep. Feel the score in the 63rd, the New York City response came in the 65th, this in the 88 tallis magno. With the finish, what happened to Olivier baiza, huh? Oh, Olivier, Olivier, Olivier, do not let that ball bounce attack that ball. Oh, wrong side of defender. And that's a dagger. I had my bucket parlay on the line right there. I had the draw and the under two and a half. It was hitting with just minutes to go until that mistake, which leads to.

Although the research community might be aware that a funder interference is a problem. Scientists don't necessarily know when research findings have been suppressed.

The point here is that the scientists and doctors who then get injured get presented with things who don't know that it was suppressed or skewed or manipulated by the nih. Who are todd's face value do so like the one. They tried out on fox and cnn. Some of them believe they right. The point is that they're proving to you on nature. Right here is that this is put in front of other people. These scientists don't necessarily know when that's happened even though they largely know that this is a problem. You see where this is going. This is obviously an easy way. For ins- the scientific research to be manipulated from political government level and then presented as completely sound by people who make the decisions whether they are sound it's all completely coordinated guy that's why we see things. It's slipped through. They get reviewed and then the editor steps in and goes earnt. Nope that's not good even though it already went through the review process. This is one of the largest illusions.

Huge problems with the status quo massive and those problems are real issue for the sustainability of publishers of all hues of all types. Whatever your political stripe or your view and and whether you like forums or whether you like newspapers this is the problem for that. Problem will be much. I think diminished. Now if you were to talk to the so called anti ad fraud industry which i think is really nas very good at his job from obscene they would say we need more tracking so we can tell you who human so the first thing is yes you can have non personal rt. I've very strongly suspect but it would take some rigorous analysis to prove that that that point and it should be done publicly not by the by credible researchers who who show their mutts but a big part of the rtp industry will will resist that because they make money from the inefficient status quo..

"And you know. Let's imagine the euro gives it all away toys. And then i the publisher send that information out to all of my closest friends. All nine hundred okay. So that broadcast model is a problem when the information being sent at our personal but if if the information sent out or not personal it would not be a problem. Now what i mean by that is if there's no way to single you act at all and if there's no way to link together the information with any other information about you. Then there's no risk of the data ever becoming personal. This is a different thing to so-called sudani misstated. I'm talking at properly anonymous. Now that means things like granular timestamps could not be used right. See you would have to change some elemental things. But i think it's doable. And you could have a real time bidding auction using purely non personal data and that may or may not be a sensible thing to do if that does happen. The advertising technology firms who today are making out like bandits will lose power and money to publishers and they'll also probably be giving advertisers far far better deal than they've been doing until now also i think worthy publishers and by by worthy i mean publishers. Who would have a business model. In any case not necessarily subscription but that that aren't trading off arbitraging other publishers. Audiences would do very well now. I better explained.

"They think they have to take to get the out in the mid terms. I think a lot of. I've been speaking to some democratic members of congress actually recently and they were talking about this on what they are disappointed by some people who should know better as acs and are happy to turn a blind eye to some of the falsities that are happening and that are continued to be circulation by donald trump and his supporters. Now i think for some of those experienced members of congress and the republican side. They're just hoping this will go away. That donald trump engineer kind of fade from view. There would be a new candidate for president in twenty four. I think that's what they're hoping to. They're trying to walk. This delicate balance to south in between keeping supporters on board a nas alienate them and also worried about their own credibility by having this investigation into the events of china. Six brings up on. You know reminds everybody of of the horror for quite frankly what happens here in decision. I mean we're i'm talking to you now. A lot of security in the city the downtown area washington. Dc is still very very coach down very dead even as other cities have reopened with with colbert. So this is the city not quite morning but has been damaged by what happened as six or so months ago. Aber republicans off. You just don't want to know they want to move on and forget advisors but The saints blow said this is going to continue the other interesting aspects that she does have a republican on the committee because she tapped liz. Cheney republican member to join the committee and cheney gave a very a hearty press conference i would say Yesterday saying she buddy supported pelosi for vetoing her two republican colleagues that she would continue to be a member of the committee and that she feels shielded people to get to the truth to also kind of soap t now of war within the gop over this investigation. Because liz cheney will be on the committee this talk about. Maybe nancy pelosi tapping another republican. Who might be willing to do. And but we're gonna have to see see how that works out in the next few days so just finally then is the likeliest prognosis that this just does become another one of those bipartisan. talking point. Kind of circuses whereby the democrats will claim that they are. You know trying to do the right thing here. And the republicans will just discredit it as another witch hunt. Nobody really ends up learning anything it may do. I think one of the issues and one of the reasons why pills he visual these two republicans was that what they have been saying all the time. It's actually we need to be investigation. Is nancy pelosi. Why did she allow secure. She be so lacked so rather than focusing on donald trump who was impeached. For inciting the capitol hill insurrection. They're actually saying whether the person we should be investigation. Is nancy pelosi. So i think she knew that this would happen if if they remained on the committee in saying that somebody like lists. Cheney may open up try and make it more not quite criticism of people questioning well what what went wrong here with security and not specialty does have some responsibility as house speaker but these two republicans to she showed i mean. They have questioned repeatedly. They went and voted against the election results. Just hours after the capital stormed agenda six. So you know they're biased observers if you'd like they've already cast dive the election so pelosi just felt that you couldn't have people who already had discredited the whole process on a committee supposed to be investigating an incident incident of the seriousness.

"The other that you've already mentioned in a sense So they can try and drag him down that way because this is a kind of a hard thing to oppose in a sense actually actually historically infrastructure spending if the kind of thing that people do agree on congress on that there always is some kind of agreement. So i think you're right. It's very hard for them and to publicly. Go against this now. They manage i. It's also to be said this infrastructure package. It's the one he's got the second bill that he wants to pass but it is much less ambitious than what he wanted. In the first page it's one point two trillion or whatever it's much at lead to trade in less than what it is looking at and so they've already succeeded in kind of bringing him down so so from that point of view the republicans who can say that they got a more responsible fiscally responsible package that will address some of the issues facing american infrastructure but is not in anything to kind of light wages. They see some of them on climate change etc. So yeah i think they're going to have to say about their constituents at the reality people know visited america. It there are. There are some parts of this country. Where interesting to read is lacking things. I basic bridges roads and federal strike. Airports that really is kind of lagging. Behind so i think that is going to resonate with people so i think republicans are going to go so far but the next battle now i mean would be actually for him to keep the liberals in his own party. I'm so i even this goes to evoke because they want this bigger packages well. They're they're trying to tie into the two things together they can see the disquiet actually relatively limited and they want more so he's kind of caught between two and this is going to be the case for his entire presidency.

The supreme court issued a very short very significant ruling yesterday and which basically ended donald trump's attempts to shield his financial records and he is being in a battle to stop prosecutor in manhattan from getting access to his tax returns and other financial records is the second time surpreme course weighed in on this. The first time is over the issue of whether sitting president at could be shielded because road as president. But this time. Ed supreme court put it outside this decisive ad. Fees for mr trump effect. Now looks at like very much. So at these records now would have turned over to investigators new york and Mr trump's accountants perhaps bankers to will have to hand over documents related to his financial affairs and give us a sense. We obviously we had a little clip from trump at the top of the show. Easy talks about you. Know the the greatest witch hunt in history continuing Can can he fend this off in the same way. Actually he dealt with some of the bulbs that were involved in the impeachment hearings or does the fact that i guess we're looking at a judicial action potential criminal irregularities. Does that change the way that he needs to sort of Defend the charges almost. Yes i know. Yeah designed so far is up. No because yesterday he had a very very strong statement ad calling this a political persecution and calling it a fishing expedition and directly criticizing at the supreme court and and people remember. He himself pointed three of the members of the supreme court book directly criticizing the court and of course the federal prosecutors in new york Have don has kind of fallen out with new york. He moved out of the city and the dolphin clashed with officials in that city. He's obviously quite unpopular in his home town of york city on. It's the attorney general there. Sarah advanced who's reedy at take upon himself to pursue at trump for these for these charges. Say i mean we could be looking at a criminal. Trial of a former. Us president if this is to continue and is a both would way of looking at this as parts of the reason. Perhaps trump is saying. It's part of this long term witch hunt in that in congress people remember before his first impeachment and ahead of us because a lot of oversight into donald trump's at russia connections and then there was an inquiry into hush money he paid add to the adult film star stormy down one hundred thirty thousand dollars and this began this pursuit then by the new york attorney general he then decided to this payment and say what was that saying about campaign finance laws about highly payment of one hundred thirty two thousand dollars that was actually made by mike cohen. His lawyer but then he said trump in bach and this if you like your unraveled with thread of inquiry into donald trump's taxes now this is where we are am so what are the significance is about. Oh that was. Yesterday's rooting is not not only. Will they get access to his tax records but also the business and financial very detailed information that accountants bankers will have on which your tax records are based If you like. So that's going to be probably even more info important than actually getting access to his tax records. Which as you know the new york times already seem to seem quite a bit about whether we don't know how much actual detailed information they have aspect to this that i find absolutely fascinating is of course the the conflicting interests of politicians be they Members of the of the gop from the democratic movement in terms of their interests or not in trump continuing to be to be in the spotlight because there were suggestions even obviously during the impeachment proceedings clearly suited some of in the republican movement for that to just be dealt with swiftly as possible. There were also suggestions though that even for the democrats. It was kind of better that that was just dealt with. It was finished even if he wasn't convicted. Does that does that delicate balance shift. Now i is there a sense of one either side of the political spectrum if you like that actually we just don't want trump in the in the spotlight anymore. I'm actually if he can play this narrative the witch hunt that he's he's got a soapbox day people coming to him to hear from him. Is it more damaging could it be more damaging to proceed ings. Go ahead it's very possible. I mean it is very possible because as you say. Donald trump has been an easy foil for democrats over the last four years a now if he feels i think a lot of his supporters argue to sympathize with him and say that this investigation is politically motivated. Donald trump brand and it's always been problematic has been around his his business and is you his his. He sees the success of a business person and other people in these tax records seems to show that he welcomed successful as he implied. But i think would be certain that might precipitate for him from a lot of his supporters because he has said before. You know i've always just legally paid whatever talks you know. He was implying that. If i was able to game the system but you know panic attacks possible within the law with every right to do that and a lot of people would agree with on bash. So the problem is we don't actually know what is in the detail something more nefarious as there and the irs. At the criminal justice system does not look likely on talks offenses and that if he is facing criminal prosecution for this he could be in serious trouble but this was always an issue for him. I mean he didn't. He didn't disclose his tax returns around for present at most people in this country high of the fact that they do need to do that. And they're highly aware of a of their financial at connections. Even though there's a sold so much money in politics in this country in and brian politicians they do you know the important of disclosure so a lot of people may think this is catching up with him. He's a long histories of businessmen york. He's very unpopular among business. People in your because he bragged before by not paying etc and a lot of people find. This is his chickens come home to roost and yes. He had those four years in the white house. But for most it's life you the businessmen. There have every right to investigation for that date. Well i'm sure we'll show speak on this but more future. Suzanne very good to get the latest from
Monocle 24: The Briefing
Donald Trump impeachment trial: what you need to know
"Donald trump may have left the white house but he has not ceased contributing to the history of the american presidency. Beginning later today he will become the first occupant of that office to undergo a impeachment trial for the second time the charges on this occasion relate to his role in inciting january sixth royat which led to the ransacking of the capitol building in washington d c. Five people died one of them a police officer murdered by the mob as we learned the first time. A two-thirds majority of senators is required for conviction. But are the numbers. There were joined with more by. Suzanne lynch washington dc correspondent for the irish times suzanne first of all to washington itself. Are there concerns about further disturbances as the trial gets underway. Well i am. It is important to note andrew. There's still a lot of security here in washington. Dc a lot of armed patrols are still here a lot of fencing and a lot of security around the capitol building in saying this and there's been no specific suggests that there would be any kind of violence today at the fbi is still. There are posters all over the city looking for information about people who evolved in the original capitol hill riots. Many of them at this stage have been arrested. So there is a feeling dash at the security services have made a lot of progress on arresting the people who are involved without nearly four weeks go more than four weeks ago in fact so yeah there it. It's still a city. That's quite tense. But no specific indication that there is anything plan for today. What if anything is donald trump proposing to offer by way of defending himself. Is he actually taking an active interest in his impeachment. Trial this time mersey. He just staying on the gulf coast. Well we had. We saw that he fell out in some way was originally legal team that he had engaged to represent him at this trial and then very quickly appointed two new Figures at david shown ambers koster early last week so That in itself has been quite and quite unusual so we're going to hear from those two lawyers at today when the impeachment trial starts now. The highs impeachment managers who are effectively. The democrats were acting prosecutors at they wrote donald trump last week asking him to testify under oath either before the impeachment trial. It's up or during the impeachment trial. He said no in no uncertain terms dot through his lawyer. So that's not happening as we don't expect to hear from donald trump. They have been quite clear. Though about the argument they expect to make. They filed a seventy eight page brief yesterday. And there are a couple of lines of defensively like we're expecting them to use as significantly in the most The most important will be the argument that this whole process is flawed. That it's unconstitutional to try a president who has already left office in an impeachment trial now. A lot of legal experts have questions about that. Don't agree with that argument but that is definitely one of the arguments are going to make. Also that his comments in his speech is incendiary speech that was delivered on the mall just before the capitol hill attack. That thought is protected by the first amendment rights pre speech. Which of course is so important and so strongly to here in the united states and there are other arguments are making that this political theater by the democrats that donald trump was speaking figuratively talking about the need to fight during that speech. So but i think we're going to see predict on the first day is debated about this constitutionality. Argument is this. Is this legal to hold a present. Try it of course in the past. Is this the first time this has happened as you pointed out that our president has been impeached for the second time and be after. He's facing trial after he has had office but we have examples read history. Were other officials like judges. Were tried and impeachment. After they left office so democrats argue that no this it may not have happened before with the president but that it is perfectly legal as we've discussed before it does seem unlikely that they will be sufficient republican votes to secure that two-thirds majority in the senate. What do we understand of the calculation that republican senators who vote to acquit. donald will be making. Will they be acting out of foam principal and a conviction that he is an innocent man or are they still really really scared of his base in the trouble that he might be able to cause them especially in primaries. I manage this is quite so. What's so interesting about this impeachment. It's taking pay so early. In the psych of joe biden. It's almost as if republicans. Now they will they will have to go publicly on the record on donald trump. At a time where i tink. There's still a lot of soul searching by the direction of the party. So we saw last week. There was controversy over Marjorie taylor green very much trump acolyte in the house and under the controversy over lists charging the third ranking republican in the house who you know broke with their party and voted to impeach donald trump. But she survived. He got quite a decisive vote in her favor. A private meeting last week so that would suggest that republicans privately are not so enamored with donald trump. Bussey may seem publicly. I think what's going to happen though. And this provides an for republicans. If you like is that they may well hide behind this argument about process at that. The whole the constitutionality of the entire impeachment trial rather than cast judgment on the substance of the allegation against donald trump himself i think that would allow allow republicans at to vote to quit donald trump without condoning or supporting his behavior on john six. So i think that's where this story is. Probably going i think most republicans will vote to a question but based on that argument that the process itself is flawed. Not on the fact that he is innocent of the charges of lucia accused.

"We're all glad to have survived. Thousand twenty the change in the us administration suggests it may be time for a different tone in how americans work on the issues our country needs to tack. But are we up. For an essay on the unraveling of america an anthropologist. Wade davis wrote for rolling stone last august. Got people talking. He joins us now from his home near vancouver. Bc to explore. America's changing role in global politics is essay is sort of like a letter to a neighbor who needs a little tough love and that neighbor happens to be a canadian anthropologist. Wade thanks for joining us. My pleasure could be with you so you wrote an article. That apparently is the most widely read thing. Rolling stone has ever published. Will it hit a real nerve. Million people read it on the site. It trended number one for five weeks three hundred and sixty two million social media impressions within two months and my visitations to my wikipedia. Site soared from a modest one hundred fifty a day to over four thousand. Just hit this nerve wrecking a none of us expected that nervous like that Little quip that's going around on the internet suggesting that to live in candidate today is like owning an apartment above a meth lab. Robin williams. Actually your essays. You say. it's a love letter. But it's a love letter called the unraveling of your neighbor america. How is it a love letter. Well i think when you have someone you love and you do. A family intervention. The most important in the first thing have to do is hold a mirror chisholm to show how far they've fallen. Because that's the first step in the path of rehabilitation and. I think that things have happened so fast. In america that in a way people look in the mirror and they still see the myth of their on exceptionalism and they don't necessarily see how far things have changed and i think kovic revealed that you know it didn't cost the country to fall but revealed to what extent the country had fallen. And i think a lot of that's just about the nature of community and i think where canada's not perfect place but it is interesting to compare the consequences of covid in the two countries way. It's it's interesting because americans. I think we take up a little bit offence when somebody from country critiques us. But we're more likely to listen to canadians. And it's so helpful for somebody to remind us that the global view of america has changed a little bit. I mean people used to look at us differently than they do now well as a great reporter for the irish times you know. They've been many motions expressed about america's since world war two but one that has never been there is there now that was pity. And that was how the world saw america's frontline healthcare workers were waiting. The arrival of emergency supplies on air lists from china. It was almost like the hinge of history opened the asian century. Pity that's something new. Another thought that. I've had is. When i if i ever refer to america's as an empire people take offense to it but we're an empire to me and empires rise and empires fall. I'm a historian and and it's frustrating to me. How unable or unwilling americans are to realize. History may be speaking to us in your essay. You reminded us how empires come and empires go. Well no kingdom expects to fall and they all do you know historically if you think in european tradition. The fifteenth century belonged to the portuguese the sixteenth to the spanish to seventeen to the dutch. The eighteenth to the french and the the nineteenth to the british. The british empire actually reached its greatest geographical extent in nineteen thirty five. But we know of course that by the end of world war two empire was bankrupt and bled white in the torch had in fact passed to america. What clearly yeah. I mean if you look at the numbers after world war two we were so dominant and comfortable thinking. We're the last great superpower. But of course as you said look at what the past has taught us and i think pretty clearly right now. There's a changing of the the torch ever further westward in it and china is emerging as the next great superpower I mean i don't necessarily look forward to that moment with any kind of The light and i think if if and when we find out that this is the fading of the american era. I think we'll be very nostalgic for the best years of that era.

"So at the moment, I think this is very much a city in shock at the city has been in curfew all evening, but the Congress did resume business as shortly after 8 P.m. here at the two houses of Congress returns their chambers at they resumed where they left off when the capital went into lockdown. They're now in the process of certifying at Joe Biden news victory as president, and that was what they had gathered at today to do before they were interrupted. And it's It's interesting, isn't it? We've have even Senator Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell, Republican current leader in the Senate, even he saying, breaking with supporting Mr Trump and saying democracy would enter a death spiral. If every time there was an election, which the losing side didn't agree with. This was where we ended up when you have people like him high profile Republicans Breaking ranks. Now, what does this mean? Then? For this pushback against the results of the election? Do you think inside the house where we've seen a mixed response deceiving. So we saw a number of Republicans on the Senate side at retreating from their threat to challenge result of the election. But on the House side that has represented the larger bodies we saw more than 120 Republicans just in the last hour. Voted to challenge the election result in Arizona. So some Republicans, if you like, have not been chastened by what's happened today, I think what we're seeing now, and the legacy of Trumpism really is a major splish within the Republican Party. As you say there, we've seen your figures like Mitch McConnell and even my tents in a sense and kind of putting a line in the sand over the last 24 hours. You have some other people in the party who are worried about their own constituents who still believe that this election is rigged. No matter what happened in the capital today, so I think there's already moment of truth for the Republican Party. Donald Trump, still only has two weeks left in office. We don't know what his plans are, and if he's even going to survive these two weeks because they're now serious concert conversations going on now hear about maybe invoking the 25th amendment about some moves to remove Donald Trump. But either way he would be out of office in two weeks. But the Republican Party needs to repair itself needs to think about where it's going now, after this, and if that were to happen to seriously be considered, because there's rumors of resignations from the you know people considering their position. In light of this off these events in the last 24 hours. Could that practically happen? What would have to happen for preventer get rid of him before the inauguration of Joe Biden. Well, it really solved in Mike Pence to the Constitution has got this amendment 25th amendment on, But Mike Pence would need to get together with members of the Cabinet and to try and remove Donald Trump's for on Fitness for office. Now look at it remains to be seen if he's going to do that. Mike Pence did rebel in one sense today before this happened and broke with the president and said he wasn't going to overturn the election results by think we're still a long, long away away away. Amazing that dramatic happening at that point. Good to talk to you. Thank you for the update. Suzanne Lynch, their Washington correspondent for The Irish Times, Of course, we will bring you updates on that developing situation and the vote that's currently going on in Congress throughout the program here on Tuesday.

"The Brexit campaign, who was eventually propelled to the highest office by the turbulent political winds of the Referendum unleashed. There was a message of liberation. This is an amazing moment for this country. We have our freedom in our hands. And these up to us to make the most of it. It is, of course, businesses that will have to adjust to the new order in the first place. These owners gave their reaction to the fact that the UK has now properly left the EU, beginning with Andrea Rasca, the founder of the Makato. Metropolitano Street food market here in London, Rex It is gonna have an incredibly negative impact. Even if they agreed to have free circulation of goods. We will Anyway have to comply with standards and regulations, which were not there before. In addition to the problem of goods, there's a problem off people. There's gonna be more difficult to find the skilled personnel and students from universities who are not only British students. Brian Griffiths, a sheep farmer from North Devon. As an industry we are very dependent on exports to the EU, and as such, we are delighted and greatly relieved that we will not be seeing the imposition of Huge and punitive wt o tariffs on our product. But that said, we can expect to see some new costs and challenges ahead. Our avatars and processes, for example, are very dependent on migrant labor. On there will inevitably be some additional bureaucracy and inspection costs in getting shipments of meat across the channel, John Swallow Ona Jordan Freight So after four years preparing, there is an element of relief that we can all get on with dealing in real time. But the problems we predicted, but to not have had an implementation period to do. This is pretty reckless. Affairs that exporters will be hard hit duty. The incredible amount of costly red tape John swallow from Jordan freight there ending the views of some business owners. So what is actually different today ofall the buccaneering talk? The changes in the relationship are actually coming into effect. Under the rather subdued circumstances of a bank holiday. Those new trading arrangements between the UK and he you were only agreed on Christmas Eve. They were rushed through Britain's Parliament just two days ago. There have been some reports of freight traveling between whales and island being turned back for not having the correct paperwork. But What traffic there has been seems to have been traveling pretty smoothly. Yet. While this new agreement has removed the time being at least a possibility of Taras or import taxes, it certainly hasn't magic to weigh the red tape. Quite the contrary, in fact, is the Irish Foreign Minister Simon Cho, Vinnie pointed out on the BBC today. We're now going to see the €80 billion worth of trade across the Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland, disrupted by an awful lot more checks and decorations and bureaucracy and paperwork and cast and delays that is Inevitable consequence. Unfortunately, even with A trade agreement. Well, joining us now is Maddie Tim on Jack Member. The Brexit team from the think tank. The Institute for Government. Maddie. Hi there. We seem to have left pretty quietly, haven't we? Yes, For the moment, it has seemed to be quite quiet. I mean, as you said, this is a bank holiday. So you know the most obvious sort of impact that people were expecting Was it accused off Lori's in Kent in the south of England, and you haven't seen that yet, But I would say you know, today is a bank holiday with them going into a weekend on. We also know that quite a lot of businesses a sort of avoiding off the weight of holding back awaiting to see quite what happens before that. They also to start using some of those groups so I can imagine. Because we will start seeing more keys next week, as sort of things he's in. I mean, the other thing to say it is quite quiet because there's so much else going on. You know, the UK has got a hugely in high number of covert cases. It's grappling with which means it's the Brexit. Is it a little further down the agenda? What about the last minute nature of the agreement that was reached? There is great concern is there not from business about the length of time they're being given to prepare for this? What one of the possible Pitfalls of all of this happening at the last minute. Do you think you know exactly? I mean, you know this. This deal landed about a week ago on it. So the 1200 pages. It's very dense legal text for a lot of businesses. They just don't have the capacity to try and understand what W trading terms are, so I think we will see some businesses essentially behaving illegally, but sort of accidentally because they don't quite know what the new rules they're meant to comply with our I think that is one of the risks over the next few weeks and months as Both sides Mr adjusted new trading relationship, and they'll be so the big question to both the U. K and the U in terms of how they respond to those kinds of businesses. And what about the big picture that this Vision of global Britain that the government has put out there to do We have any sense yet of what that is. I think they sort of short answer is no, not really thistles, a slogan that the UK has used us. The last few years has become very popular, but I still don't think we have a huge amount of detail that six beneath that we know that the UK sort of interested Announced the reality towards the Inter Pacific region. But there's no stupid strategy yet about what that looks like. I mean, I think that's going to be one of the big questions for the UK government this year instead of saying to the country we've made this choice we've gone for, you know, done Brexit. Now this is what we're going to do with it. And this is the future of the vision of the future of the UK on But you know, I think that's something that so far has been quite lacking for the last few years.

"And foremost happy new year to all our listeners. At the ever present risk of tempting fate it does feel like two thousand and twenty one can only be an improvement on two thousand and twenty one. Primary cause for optimism is the fact that after january twentieth earth's most powerful office will no longer be held by america's worst on imprisoned citizen description. Correct as of this broadcast between an untamed pandemic economic crisis and the spectacular mess made in general by president. Donald trump president elect joe biden faces a daunting oval office in trae won joint first of all by christchurch mcnichols news editor and by suzanne lynch washington dc correspondent with the irish times in this first part of the show. We'll look mostly at what president-elect joe biden wants to do and will do domestically but chris festival <hes> on that thought of succeeding donald trump. How much political capital does joe biden inherit just by virtue of not being donald trump. Well to be honest in some ways. That is a question that will be. I think more important end to discuss in the second half of our show. We look at foreign policy. Because i think that is where there is arguably a lot more political capital. You know joe biden will enter office of this month to lead a country that is still extraordinarily divided. It has to be said that whatever <hes>. Court decisions were taken efforts to reverse. This election rejected by courts and by many academics. Who saw you know and others observers. Who saw no real evidence of fraud. It is important to point out. I think that potentially a majority of republicans are going to come into this year. Voters believing. Joe biden is illegitimate that that is not correct. That is not that is not what happened. But it is nevertheless a danger for democracy. And it's something that really i think is important to watch. Joe biden essentially has a tremendous amount of goodwill from half of the country who expects him to reverse many of the policies that donald trump implemented over the last four years and he will do a number of those from day one but we should not forget the other half of the country that will be causing a huge stink about all of this and it will be very interesting to watch how he tries to bridge those gaps particularly when it is such a strong divide as i say even in the sense of many just simply not even seeing him as their president suzanne to bring you in that division that chris delineates the is going to make extremely complicated one question. Joe biden will have to grapple with which is what does he do about donald trump. Does he as best he can. Just ignore him and hope he goes away or does he turn various congressional committees and the department of justice loose to try and get to the bottom wherever it may be of whatever. Wrongdoing was done. I don't think joe biden instinct will be to do that. I mean joe biden has presented himself very much as the kind of the nation's healer. He's talked about his own track record when he was in the senate for so many years of working across the aisle with republicans and working productively republicans. Now some might say that. Joe biden is suffering from naive radio. That washington has changed. That things have become much more polarized on they have in the last decade or so so he for example has has quietly hinted at his relationship with mitch. Mcconnell mitch. mcconnell is more more than likely going to be leading. i'm the two men have worked together. Particularly joe biden was vice president and mitch mcconnell in the senate and but even still you know. We saw mitch mcconnell reluctance to add call. Joe biden president-elect even though he had had won the election so that is a major at challenge for at for joe biden is going to be handling congress also. The problem facing him is democrats did very badly in november's election in terms of their seats. Both the senate and the house so not to pelosi now coming into a new year coming into a new congress with a much reduced majority and that is going to make things tricky for her. She's going to be tried keeper own party in check and i think a lot of the more left wing elements of the democratic party. Who basically were prepared to put away their differences with the establishment democratic party. If you like to try and defeat. Donald trump i now all gloves off and i think we're going to see this element of the party. The bernie sanders winged. Aoc wing. you know. Really kind of be vocal about what they believe. This joe biden presidency should deliver so i think you know that whole political reality of how washington is going to work with the mats in the house and the senate is going to be a constant challenge for joe biden other tries to govern. We'll chris let's look at the most pressing issues that will face president joe biden which is of course the covid nineteen pandemic now. Obviously there are grounds for optimism. Which is that a vaccine exists but it is going to take a while to get it to everybody. We are still months away from normality returning to the united states. Between now and then is there anything. The president biden will actually realistically be able to do to make an obviously already dreadful situation slightly less dreadful. Well i think he is going to try his damnedest to do that. <hes> he has set this or that that we all know now of <hes>. Essentially a one hundred million doses of the vaccine in his first one hundred days disseminated to the public <hes>. That's an ambitious goal. Although at the same time it it should be said that this was <hes>. A goal if you will of the trump administration as well <hes>. And this was. This was something that was planned. They had essentially bought one hundred million doses for the first quarter <hes>. But the biggest challenge that we are going to see this <hes>. In these first one hundred days is really going to be how that is disseminated. How is it gotten through to hospitals. <hes> you know and how states and local authorities cooperate with the federal government <hes> in order for that dissemination to take place how the army is potentially involved. It is a herculean task to get all of these vaccines out as quickly as joe biden has promised and i think it's going to be interesting because on the one hand you know he is as we you know he's he's still not president until january twentieth much of the work on this has been done by the trump administration <hes>. At the same time there is you know there is this risk if you will or you could also put it in a positive way. There's an opportunity in that joe biden. I think will very quickly find that. This becomes his pandemic to deal with. And that he will be reckoned with in terms of how he is able to get certain programs underway. That means that his people his entire operation is really going to have to hit the ground running incredibly quickly when they take over in particular because they also have not gotten that much help that much cooperation from the trump administration in the transition. Suzanne joe biden has of course being in the white house during one previous dramatic intervention in the united states economy. When he and barrack obama arrived in the wake of the two thousand eight collapse will he be tempted towards something similar in the current circumstances or preceding more on the assumption that wants the vaccine is taking effect. The us economy will more or less sort itself out. Well it's it's a very good point. Under i mean i think there are lots of parallels here actually to what obama faced obama joe biden back into into a nine and you know even between the election on the inauguration i mean america. I'm particularly america then. The wider world was embroidered the biggest financial crisis in decades. And they have to deal with that. So yes there are a lot of parallels i think joe biden has a proven record on this and they were able to pass the tariff act. They did the the bailout fund for the auto industry hugely complex pieces of legislation. Where a lot of money involved. And that may well be the case. Again i mean the. Us economy at the figures december have been worrying. There has been worst. Jobless figures than had been expected am the signs of recovery. We saw in the late summer. You know really didn't continue as we kind of got into that second. Wave around thanksgiving time so i think the economic consequences. This you know are really not getting. Maybe enough attention here. Obviously so at the figures are overwhelming in terms of the deaths the infection rates and but there's also a huge impact on the economy. And i think we're going to see i. I believe around the world. It's it would probably accentuate this. You know the difference between the house and the have nots. If you like you know the poorer are are people who are have lost. Their jobs are in less secure. And yes we're seeing the stock market. Do very very well throw twenty twenty and a lot of people. You know hoarding cash. Essentially as saving. So these kind of issues i think are going to be front and foremost for joe biden particularly. I mentioned already because of this very strong left wing within his party. They want joe biden. Who who has been pivoting. More to the left economically i think for example compared to say a hillary clinton at the time you know four years ago and i think he has suggested you know with his pick johnny yet and his treasury secretary. She talked about for example. The need to address structural issues economic inequality along racial and gender lines in the united states describing how they are important for the economy to address that. So you know what he's going to do in terms of getting more covert relief. Package is going to be a key element of this first one hundred days in parallel to the huge logistical challenge of getting those vaccinations out trying to encourage people to get vaccinated etc and again. This is all going to depend on his relationship with congress and these are going to be. It's going to be a lot of money involved in this and <hes>. Republicans in particular in the sandwich have been <hes>. At loggerheads with democrats out late twenty twenty about the size and scope of a of any rescue package for the american economy and you know commentators ironic air pointing out the national dash went way up under trump a now are we going to start hearing republicans complaining about the national debt. So i think that whole aspect as i say in parallel to the the health issue is going to be a key concern for biden in the first few months presidency. Chris susanne mentioned there a couple of members of president-elect biden's domestic team we should talk about obviously the highest profile member of that domestic team which vice president-elect kamala harris do. You anticipate that she'll be a more visible and obviously engaged vice president than usual because it's going to be a very different relationship. Between her and president biden vice president biden had with president barrack. Obama perhaps ironically as things have turned out biden. wasn't really seen as a natural apprentice. successor <hes>. To the much younger president he was he was running alongside whereas you already. Since there's a a feeling gathering kamla harris's president in waiting. Well i think <hes>. To continue the two thousand two thousand nine parallels in in some ways. This is a sort of the reverse of that. As as you're discussing. Because i think when joe biden came into office as vice president he sort of provided the experienced the heft to the to the obama administration as the time as the sort of political establishment candidate for you know a relative neophyte in barack obama at the time <hes> and so his role <hes>. You know he was. Obviously you also had before that dick. Cheney famously is maybe the vice president who really transformed the role but joe biden sort of ran with that and he was this <hes>. You know incredibly powerful <hes>. Very involved vice president as involved if not more involved than dick. Cheney was as vice president you know before that vice presidency often was seen as this very unimportant role and so i think in that sense perhaps looking now to kamala harris <hes>. In some ways there's a reverse there because she is not the one providing the heft if you will joe biden is now even more experienced than he was back then so he will be the the fully experienced leader if you will in this campaign <hes>. In this in this white house <hes>. And so the question will be in that sense. What kind of room. He is willing to give kamala harris. What exactly she is going to put her stamp on <hes>. In terms of us. And i think that's still a bit of an open debate. He obviously picked kamala harris because they have a good working relationship. She is somebody who was <hes>. Arguably more of a centrist than some of the other candidates that he could have picked. You know she's not from the bernie sanders wing of the party. I think that was important because in wanted to pick somebody not only who was historic in terms of being a woman. I african american as well in the vice presidency <hes>. But really somebody that he could have a good working relationship with in order to use her as both a trusted adviser and entrust her with leading on certain issues. So i think it will be very interesting to see how that relationship plays out and finally as you say as one point he obviously has not expressly said it but many would assume. There's a very good chance that joe biden will be a one term president and so in that sense. Yes this is. Come a harris's chance to really show that she is the one who will take up the mantle of being the leader of the democratic party of the future christchurch. Mac thank you for the moment.

Joe Bidens presidency
"And foremost happy new year to all our listeners. At the ever present risk of tempting fate it does feel like two thousand and twenty one can only be an improvement on two thousand and twenty one. Primary cause for optimism is the fact that after january twentieth earth's most powerful office will no longer be held by america's worst on imprisoned citizen description. Correct as of this broadcast between an untamed pandemic economic crisis and the spectacular mess made in general by president. Donald trump president elect joe biden faces a daunting oval office in trae won joint first of all by christchurch mcnichols news editor and by suzanne lynch washington dc correspondent with the irish times in this first part of the show. We'll look mostly at what president-elect joe biden wants to do and will do domestically but chris festival on that thought of succeeding donald trump. How much political capital does joe biden inherit just by virtue of not being donald trump. Well to be honest in some ways. That is a question that will be. I think more important end to discuss in the second half of our show. We look at foreign policy. Because i think that is where there is arguably a lot more political capital. You know joe biden will enter office of this month to lead a country that is still extraordinarily divided. It has to be said that whatever Court decisions were taken efforts to reverse. This election rejected by courts and by many academics. Who saw you know and others observers. Who saw no real evidence of fraud. It is important to point out. I think that potentially a majority of republicans are going to come into this year. Voters believing. Joe biden is illegitimate that that is not correct. That is not that is not what happened. But it is nevertheless a danger for democracy. And it's something that really i think is important to watch. Joe biden essentially has a tremendous amount of goodwill from half of the country who expects him to reverse many of the policies that donald trump implemented over the last four years and he will do a number of those from day one but we should not forget the other half of the country that will be causing a huge stink about all of this and it will be very interesting to watch how he tries to bridge those gaps particularly when it is such a strong divide as i say even in the sense of many just simply not even seeing him as their president suzanne to bring you in that division that chris delineates the is going to make extremely complicated one question. Joe biden will have to grapple with which is what does he do about donald trump. Does he as best he can. Just ignore him and hope he goes away or does he turn various congressional committees and the department of justice loose to try and get to the bottom wherever it may be of whatever. Wrongdoing was done. I don't think joe biden instinct will be to do that. I mean joe biden has presented himself very much as the kind of the nation's healer. He's talked about his own track record when he was in the senate for so many years of working across the aisle with republicans and working productively republicans. Now some might say that. Joe biden is suffering from naive radio. That washington has changed. That things have become much more polarized on they have in the last decade or so so he for example has has quietly hinted at his relationship with mitch. Mcconnell mitch. mcconnell is more more than likely going to be leading. i'm the two men have worked together. Particularly joe biden was vice president and mitch mcconnell in the senate and but even still you know. We saw mitch mcconnell reluctance to add call. Joe biden president-elect even though he had had won the election so that is a major at challenge for at for joe biden is going to be handling congress also. The problem facing him is democrats did very badly in november's election in terms of their seats. Both the senate and the house so not to pelosi now coming into a new year coming into a new congress with a much reduced majority and that is going to make things tricky for her. She's going to be tried keeper own party in check and i think a lot of the more left wing elements of the democratic party. Who basically were prepared to put away their differences with the establishment democratic party. If you like to try and defeat. Donald trump i now all gloves off and i think we're going to see this element of the party. The bernie sanders winged. Aoc wing. you know. Really kind of be vocal about what they believe. This joe biden presidency should deliver so i think you know that whole political reality of how washington is going to work with the mats in the house and the senate is going to be a constant challenge for joe biden other tries to govern. We'll chris let's look at the most pressing issues that will face president joe biden which is of course the covid nineteen pandemic now. Obviously there are grounds for optimism. Which is that a vaccine exists but it is going to take a while to get it to everybody. We are still months away from normality returning to the united states. Between now and then is there anything. The president biden will actually realistically be able to do to make an obviously already dreadful situation slightly less dreadful. Well i think he is going to try his damnedest to do that. he has set this or that that we all know now of Essentially a one hundred million doses of the vaccine in his first one hundred days disseminated to the public That's an ambitious goal. Although at the same time it it should be said that this was A goal if you will of the trump administration as well And this was. This was something that was planned. They had essentially bought one hundred million doses for the first quarter But the biggest challenge that we are going to see this In these first one hundred days is really going to be how that is disseminated. How is it gotten through to hospitals. you know and how states and local authorities cooperate with the federal government in order for that dissemination to take place how the army is potentially involved. It is a herculean task to get all of these vaccines out as quickly as joe biden has promised and i think it's going to be interesting because on the one hand you know he is as we you know he's he's still not president until january twentieth much of the work on this has been done by the trump administration At the same time there is you know there is this risk if you will or you could also put it in a positive way. There's an opportunity in that joe biden. I think will very quickly find that. This becomes his pandemic to deal with. And that he will be reckoned with in terms of how he is able to get certain programs underway. That means that his people his entire operation is really going to have to hit the ground running incredibly quickly when they take over in particular because they also have not gotten that much help that much cooperation from the trump administration in the transition. Suzanne joe biden has of course being in the white house during one previous dramatic intervention in the united states economy. When he and barrack obama arrived in the wake of the two thousand eight collapse will he be tempted towards something similar in the current circumstances or preceding more on the assumption that wants the vaccine is taking effect. The us economy will more or less sort itself out. Well it's it's a very good point. Under i mean i think there are lots of parallels here actually to what obama faced obama joe biden back into into a nine and you know even between the election on the inauguration i mean america. I'm particularly america then. The wider world was embroidered the biggest financial crisis in decades. And they have to deal with that. So yes there are a lot of parallels i think joe biden has a proven record on this and they were able to pass the tariff act. They did the the bailout fund for the auto industry hugely complex pieces of legislation. Where a lot of money involved. And that may well be the case. Again i mean the. Us economy at the figures december have been worrying. There has been worst. Jobless figures than had been expected am the signs of recovery. We saw in the late summer. You know really didn't continue as we kind of got into that second. Wave around thanksgiving time so i think the economic consequences. This you know are really not getting. Maybe enough attention here. Obviously so at the figures are overwhelming in terms of the deaths the infection rates and but there's also a huge impact on the economy. And i think we're going to see i. I believe around the world. It's it would probably accentuate this. You know the difference between the house and the have nots. If you like you know the poorer are are people who are have lost. Their jobs are in less secure. And yes we're seeing the stock market. Do very very well throw twenty twenty and a lot of people. You know hoarding cash. Essentially as saving. So these kind of issues i think are going to be front and foremost for joe biden particularly. I mentioned already because of this very strong left wing within his party. They want joe biden. Who who has been pivoting.

President Trump Continues To Deny Election Results And President-Elect Biden Plans for His Presidency
"Briefing on monocle. Twenty four and welcome to today's edition of the briefing with me. Andrew miller the white house continues to echo with the post-election tantrum of us president donald trump who spent the weekend insisting series of the kind of all capital tweets which always indicate an ordered mind at work that november thirds election was rigged which wasn't and he won which he didn't president elect joe biden however seems to have decided that he has greater priorities than worrying about any further legal challenges. Launched by rudy giuliani from garden center. Parking lots and is focusing on plans for reviving a hopefully imminently post pandemic economy on joined by suzanne lynch washington correspondent for the irish times season. Welcome as always to the briefing. We'll look at joe biden's plans shortly but first of all is donald trump's wining actually gaining any traction. Is anybody taking him seriously. And i was there at the march on saturday now wasn't a million maga- march of as he'd predicted but there were tens of thousands of americans. They're waving flags and singing hymns in some cases holding signs saying the steel and alleging that the election has been stolen so he is getting a lot of traction from supporters and on conservative media gems. Here with on fox news for example bush. Look the facts are. The joe biden has won the election and as these various states moved to sir officially certify those election results in each stage. Who's is going to be happening in the next week or so. I think that it's going to become more likely. The deriving will become clear on the wall to donald trump. That it's time to go. And unfortunately though he is digging in as you say at science no sign of him conceding jaw and of course. The question is what's doing to american democracy. We've got a lot of 'small. I want a sizable minority of this country. Who believe the dumb from did not win the election even though he did so. I think it's a sorry state of affairs here. In this country that we now have a president who is refusing to concede does president elect joe biden basically appear to be a policy of ignoring him as far as possible. Yes yes. I think you're right out of there on. It's quite a clever policy. So it's almost like a child in the coroner's having a tantrum don't give them any attention. He just get an expert system toxic of strategy been taken by joe biden. He was at questioned on this last week and he did say it was an embarrassment and it was going to damage ed donald trump legacy but he did step back from launching a full scale attack on trump at particularly there is an issue now that a federal agency here. The gsa is using to at handover resources and information. If you'd like to the incoming president like it should so joe biden would be his rights there to criticize ups in clever to be averse holding back. If you know i put the moment so that strategy described exactly what he's adopting. I think one of the reasons he's doing that is because he knows that a lot of donald trump supporters at be this way and he has said during his campaign he wants to beautify reach out to the other side. If you like so. I think he's trying to tag anais and try not to inflame further tensions at a stage trying to lower the temperature. So that's the strategy. But i do think along with this goes on. It could become more problematic for example if they really are not going to hand over these resources. Gsa people are expecting. Maybe this week they will would. If that doesn't happen with then we really could see things become more tense here and with the biden campaign that i'm saying listen hang on. We need this information on his time feud handed over. We will doubtless cross that bridge when we get to it but for the moment what do we know of what. Joe biden plans to put into action. Once he does become president on january twentieth. Well he has said that in his first few days he's going sign executive orders whereby we expect him to rejoin the paris climate accord for example. Aba expect to happen at more. Also maybe something on immigration we for example. There's been the rumbling row about daca. There are the end. The kids known as dreamers. Young people who came to america brought to america by their parents illegally and they had been given amnesty essentially under the obama administration trump reversed. It got stuck in the courts but we expect maybe by to do something on this however other plans is due to unveil economic plan of some kind or make a speech today at in delaware but a lot of that is gonna be dependent on whether he democrats have controlled and the sanish at that looks unlikely it comes to senate runoff races in georgia in early january democrats have to win vocals raises which i think very tall ask if they don't if the only way one they're not in control of the senate republicans are and that is gonna make difficult for biden to push through some of his his policy issues on tax for example even energy and he's talking about not doing in green you deal but actually quite a progressive platform in terms of energy infrastructure. So that could be stymied by the by sanish. if republicans are in control there. What do we know as well about what. President-elect biden wants to do differently in terms of handling the pandemic obviously. There is good news on the vaccine. And there's been further good news just within the last hour as a. Us vaccine is now claiming to be ninety five percent Effective or thereabouts But that's still going to take weeks and months to implement a new cases are clearing one hundred thousand today. What does he want. America to do differently until that vaccine is ready to roll when it's been quite interesting in the last few days because one of the maggie appointed a new advisory board on corona virus is one of the members of the board has been doing interviews and the words lockdown has entered the lexicon here which on a national level and a lot of people are against us at here in this country. And you know nobody has mentioned the idea that we should have national lockdown and vigers now has netted the biden campaign has pushed back on that day. No no this is. Just one of my advisers is what we're considering so that would be considered very much to nuclear option here. As joe biden has to kind of tread carefully. The issue here is at each stage has a lot of power about how they handle the krona virus. So he's going to have his highness flow trying to add. Push through suggestions to republican control states. You know the governor saif kosher for example you know is a bit in. Denial about corona virus doesn't want many restrictions like high was joe biden going to ensure a national mandate for anything. It's going to be difficult and at the moment he has been talking about mask wearing. Because there's still a lot of resistance to the us in this country. As i saw on saturday after march were few people were wearing masks. That seemed to be what he's focusing on at the moment and the other thing would be my distribution of the vaccine making that more equitable already. The governor of new york has criticized on trump's plans. That saying that you know well off people will end up getting the vaccine not poor people who are more affected by cold so we expect to see him focusing more on that more equitable distribution of acting when we get faxing point suzanne ledge. Thank you as always. That was suzanne lynch with the irish times in washington.

Top EU official proposes new 2030 target to reduce emissions
"Earlier today. European Commission President Ursula von Delaying gave her first State of the Union address to the European. Parliament. It's fair to say that it has been and will be more closely scrutinized than the setpiece usually is the EU is beset like the rest of the world by an ongoing pandemic and associated economic turbulence, and also attempting to ease the United Kingdom out of the block with as little damage to the fixtures and fittings as possible and the UK's latest history on x over the last week or so demonstrate that this remains an unsolved problem while joined with more Bite Niamey Leery Europe correspondent at the Irish Times. Niamey before we talk about the details of what Slovan delay and had to say, did it strike you? There was an overall theme or tone she was swinging for I. Think it was quite striking. Future focused. She talked about how can we get out of the Democrats economic repercussions in a way that says. The continent for the future. So it was very much to do with tying together the various different goals whether that's a climate and economic development where increasing digitalization on. Also a one section of her speech, which I thought was particularly strong was on discrimination and efforts at kind of acknowledging the reality in the block of racism and discrimination. Based on sexual orientation or religious beliefs. So it was quite wide ranging and then the other aspect of it was. She proposed making it easier for the EU to come up with common policy when it comes to international relations particularly on matters relating to human rights sanctions. So just as a liberation on that idea of general tone this being her first state of the Union as as commission president does it does it seem that we understand what her idea of the European Union is. I think she Saturday as being. A sort of an unfinished project what it ought to be somewhere where people can have a quality of life get paid fairly for work have social protections that you're does better on that than other parts of the world, and that's part of the reason why able better able to weather the pandemic but that it's not enough and she said that there would be a new framework introduced to. Member states to set minimum wages in order to make work pay property. Then an in addition to that there was the The section on discrimination which I think was unusual in acknowledged the struggles in the block in terms of she mentioned a particular discrimination against Rome people on also the LGBTQ I free zones in. Poland or she called out as inhumane. And so I think she's she was quite strong meticulous division of the block as being a place where people and live more freely with rights and have a better quality of life in general but I think that she also you know it's it's. It's quite telling that she. She had. Many. Difficulties take me in terms of international relations they were for her to talk about it was difficult relationship with Russia difficult relationship with China difficult relationship with the United States difficult relationship Britain as well. Well, let's talk about some of those difficult relationships and because we are here broadcasting from London let's talk about the difficult relationship. The now has with the UK did brexit get much of a mention? She did mention us. So she said that with every day that passes it becomes more difficult for deal to be reached and she also said that. The EU would stand by with the agreement would never at go back on its the an agreement that had been passed by the European Parliament Anheuser Commons and that had been jointly agreed by the UK Andy you to Protect citizen's rights but also she said first and foremost the Good Friday Agreement on the department and it was quite interesting as well to know that she she also quote the late John Hume, the Nobel laureate. And former SDLP leader from dairy and she said that she described him as one of the Great Europeans. And mentioned that he he recently passed away on us used a quote from him to kind of talk about the strength of diversity which I thought was quite. An interesting use of quotes. It was notable high. She was sort of writing in that story, which is I suppose a Northern Irish story really into this story of the European Union. You mentioned the difficulty of the relationship with Russia and obviously the country of which us live underlying walls defense minister. Germany has found itself once again. On the front line over that relationship having taken in the apparently poisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny did she took you light any kind of? Way of how the e you can live alongside Russia. She was quite I thought her words were quite firm on Russia's so she said. That the poison she mentioned the poisoner Nevada and said that it wasn't a one sauce and she said, no. Number of gas, pipelines is GONNA. Is GonNa fix that relationship she also am I thought spoke quite in quite heartfelt way in solidarity with the people of Belarus Moore she said that they'd be brave and gone out on the streets and they should have the they shouldn't be pieces on someone else's chessboard what she said, but they should have the ability to determine their own future. You said at the top of this item that she attempted to link the recovery. Well, hopeful eventual recovery from the pandemic the associated economic problems to broader themes of climate in the future on climate in particular. Did she have anything of note to say. So. What? What under nine has proposed that the target for the block to reduce emissions should be increased fifty five percent by twenty thirty, that's compared to a previous commitment to forty percent. This is compared to nine thousand, nine, hundred levels of emissions, and she said that this would be vital in order for the block to reach its Paris Agreement commitments on also its goal of becoming climate neutral by twenty fifty on the way she she described the landmark agreement of the e you to join me borrow seven, hundred, fifty, billion, euro. As an opportunity to do this by directing at least thirty percent or thirty seven percent of the investment towards green initiatives. So things like development of green hydrogen. Renovating homes with. Forty percent of emissions and also. Increasing the car charging network electric vehicle charging that things like that an while this could go in. With kind of digital developments there. For example, at fast broadband were available continent wide including in rural areas that would both alive for rural development but also for things like you know people to work from home more easily and things like that. So she she s she she argued that these things could go hand in hand essentially. But Green groups have been quick to come out and say that fifty five percent of the target isn't enough now some of them had themselves called for that in the. In the past but I guess with the scale of the disaster that they say we're facing, you know they're always going to want to push for more and more ambitious targets

Brexit: Government refuses to drop plans to override parts of Brexit deal
"The U. K. left the European Union in January. It was possible to detect a faint sigh of relief even among those British people who thought the endeavor various combinations of reckless vainglorious, foolhardy, petulant, and self destructive at least and at last it was imagined. We now knew what we'd be dealing with a transition period some sort of new deal and a reduction of turbulence. The UK government this. Week announced it had other ideas planning to override sections of the withdrawal agreement. It had itself negotiated signed and won election on the back of joining me to attempt to identify what fresh hell. This is Naomi O'Leary. Your corresponded at the Irish Times and lands price former director of communications at ten Downing Street Naomi with all g recognition that there may be a number of answers to this question of varying degrees of decorum. What is the UK's government doing? Well, my understanding is that it's introducing an internal markets bill that will unpick. A couple of aspects that were agreed with the EU in order to avoid a border join across the arden. So this would include. Customs arrangements on state aid agreements on I mean by the UK's own admission because they rolled agreement was passed in his comments on signed by those sides it's international law. So this would be breaking international by their own admission. Let's. The as ninety points out the UK government has admitted that would be breaching international law. They did specify that it was a very limited and specific way. So that's fine. Apparently It's one of the great questions attending, Boris? Johnson. Administration. Is there a strategy discernible or are they just winging this? Was this always the plan basically? I think has to assume there is some sort of strategy but quite deliberately, it is so opaque that those looking in from the outside, find it very hard to discern what it is. That we may come to the end of this year to the end of December and look back and say, well, actually, there wasn't the strategy and they would just blundering white. You giving a very good impression of simply plunder their way through, but they are not stupid. And we assume that there is method to their madness. Now, about methods may simply to be as disruptive as possible this stage in in. In order to Let's try to secure the deal again today still with the intention of trying to get the deal to give you a new one. That I've spoken to or listen to seems to be able to determine which it is still time. That's it. It's never wanted to deal that looks away play the of European Union. They deliver take disrupted to the prospects of deal because frankly. Happy to go. Without one. But? What has the response to this development being in I mean we'll talk about the rest of the EU shortly but in Ireland in particular because for obvious reasons island republic, there was always going to be more affected by the fact of Brexit than any other EU country. I think initially an many people struggle to believe that this was really what the UK was doing that they were going to go through with this because you know a lot of figures in the civil service in government in Dublin have very long relationships with people in the UK with which have been constructive. kind of goes against the their experience of Britain so far to a large extent up. So I, think there was initially hesitant to overreact to kind of see, but once the bill was made public all. The really have reacted with shock because this this way more than the sort of Saber rattling that everyone expected in terms of talking up no deal on shouting might sovereignty and everything that was kind of priced in this really fundamentally to the heart of the. Western order. People don't. Respect international law. It kind of puts in question a lot of the assumptions that the current global order is based on. I'm just to name a few for example, the fact Gibraltar is still in UK Homs let's based on an international treaty that even though Spain doesn't like it. has accepted. And that's just one small example, the UK itself relies on this concept that. International treaties can't unilaterally changed by one side lawfully, it relies on it all the time. Lunch just to elaborate on that point of Naomi's might even if this is just a slightly devil-may-care negotiating gambling might have effects in the real world. Niamey mentions there the treaty of you tracked onto which spying grudgingly ceded sovereignty of Gibraltar to the United. Kingdom. But also within the last twenty, four hours, one almost admires the bras neck. We've seen the UK's foreign secretary reminding Iran of its international obligations. vis-a-vis, its nuclear treaty might this actually have real world impacts whether it is Gibraltar. Iran Hong Kong. A number of other places. I've been I think it might very well, not necessarily any other states would see this as a green light for them to reach national all all treaties that they have signed with the United Kingdom and other countries but set you going forward when it comes to trying to foam which agreements or whether it's trade agreements or security related agreements or whatever else it might be that the kingdom will be seen as an unreliable untrustworthy partner those. If, we say in terms that we are willing to break traditional goal this time that why should get any time in the future so we will see threats from the United States and. about about this, being a very significant roadblock to a free trade agreement with those countries. Now, we have just signed one with. Japan. He's just been announced that the United States go to preacher is leaving with Japan. It probably doesn't amount to us not which is government with like this. Super believe. But the standings of the United to International. has already been severely damaged, and that's why there's some very very senior figures in the Conservative Party former prime ministers, and little house. but the house tested deposits as well. Who say this is a statue. Niamey talks trade talks ideas due to resume on Monday, but especially bearing in mind. What Lance was just saying about the UK, turning itself into an increasingly on reliable interlocutor, and that's on top of the last few years of just extraordinary nonsense the has had to deal with is there a possibility or indeed? May We already have arrived at that point of the European Union basically losing patients with this entire thing? Obviously, the EU as twenty seven nations is probably more equipped to deal with the chaos of no deal than the UK is one nation. Right now, it's a bit of a game of chicken because I think neither side wants to be the one to call ice because they don't want to take the blame i. But yet they eat. You has given UK basically an ultimatum of the end of the month to reverse this plan. or they say that they will take legal recourses available under the withdrawal agreement I'm which include fines and things like that to try and bring the UK back in line Basically, they've been saying all year the an agreement relies on the past agreements being enacted and that's the fundamental trust is essential for anything being agreed and the reason they've been saying that I think because there was always a bit of a suspicion that something like this could. Happen though nobody wanted to believe it because the likes of ours Johnson on his cabinet ministers would occasionally say things that didn't make sense. The didn't fish with what they had agreed thing that there wouldn't be taxes on when they would be in the Irish Sea So I think the EU is going to wait and the they're they're not pulling out of the the talk. Yes. But the chance of them succeeding I, think in everyone's view with extremely spam at this point.

Coronavirus: Third day of wrangling over huge EU recovery plan
"Seems to be a good deal of lip, curling, and or person beneath the mosques at a you talks on post. Pandemic Recovery Fund after four days of discussions agreement on the proposed seven hundred fifty billion euro fund appears away off. Some assessments of the general tone of the negotiations have even vote the dreaded, full and frank exchange of views, which in the diplomatic arena is the equivalent of at least one protagonist being flung. Through a window into a horse. Trough I'm joined with more on this point Naomi O'Leary Europe correspondent at the Irish Times. Niamey we'll we'll discuss the detail presently, but broadly. Who's disagreeing with whom about what? The main blockage is that there's a group of wealthy northern state led by the Netherlands that want the overall package. The thunder discussion to because because. They at home have domestic electorate that think the costs too much. And The Netherlands is heading for national election next year in March, and I think it's important for Prime Minister Ruta to be able to show to his electorate that he put up a fight in Brussels though. Is this just a really serving resurfacing rather? What's fairly familiar dynamic within the U you this idea that there is a a frugal nor Sunday profligate south. There's a lot of stereotypes at play. There changes though Britain is part of the discussion. It wouldn't have gotten so far as it has. If Britain had still been in the EU win vetoed dozen stage. I'm what's being forced to happen. Is that the states like the Netherlands and Austria kind of being forced to come with their use in a more direct way, they're not able to hide behind the opposition of Britain anymore as they have in the past, and you have alliances of smaller states rather than big blocking ones. Is it about the amount in total, or is it more about how that amount will be dispersed specifically whether it would be a grant or a loan which would need to be paid back at some future point? Yeah, it's both so there's a few things on the table. There's the common e you budget seven years. The Party Gotten Ryan to discussing then there's the recovery fund. Which is this one saw? A response to the economic damage of the pandemic that same to stimulate you con- economies. It's the new thing that would be funded by joint borrowing by the EU Commission that then be distributed to member states, according to need on some of the the the of that money would be in the form Graham that does need to be paid back by the national capitals, and that's controversial at to the frugal, because they're quite wary of incurring greater liabilities, also giving money with strict conditions. This lot of belief that this could you know? Why should any national governments being sensitized to run sensible budget if they think that they can just get money with consequences? So. They're pushing hard for a reduction. Particularly in the amount of grams. Then there are other questions. ID. Decide who gets and also. What kind of would you have? The money is spent.

Irish politics is about to change forever as old system collapses
"It is now two weeks. Since the elections in the Republic of Ireland created a seismic change in its politics with the end of a two party system which switch between finagle and final full and the emergence of a third powerful voice that of Shin Fain now Ireland's political parties are preparing for a week of talks to try to work out a deal on the formation of a new government. And as you would imagine it's hard work a little earlier I was joined by Namie. O'leary she's hosted the Irish passport podcast and Europe correspondent for the Irish Times. She began by explaining how much progress has been made since the elections. There's been an initial round of exploratory talks between the parties. We've had the first vote to try an attempt to pick T. Chuck and no one has been successful. So now it's moving onto the second stage This week they'll be more talks between the parties on the next time. We expect to have a vote in parliament On to try and elected Ishaq is march the fifth. Although it's not particularly expected that one will be a elected by that stage so the main thing that's changed since the election is that immediately after the election it appeared that fearful had opened the door to some kind of deal with Shit Sane. The left-wing Nationalist Party unexpectedly got the most number of first preference votes But last week they're quite acrimonious exchanges in the Dole between the leaders of those two parties. That made it quite clear that that wasn't an option that was on the table on this really leaves only one option left with the numbers that there are some sort of deal between the two traditionally dominant parties fearful fingernail. Chin Feng stay. They're still going to try and form a government to the left government of change and their plan to hold rallies around the country in in favor of that government But it's it's very unclear whether they have the numbers to do that so we are now in a situation. The way you've just described what I learned could be taken into absolutely different directions. Xinfei wanting one thing and the two old traditional party thinking if we get together we might be able to keep control in some way. Well it's very politically difficult situation for Phoenix. I'm fearful to manage because in a way there's no bod- option for champagne. So she would be delighted to get into government but equally if they can be the main opposition on they can cast the two old parties essentially two sides of the same coin. No difference between them and clubbing up to keep the might of power. That's also you know that's a good political narrative from their point of view note. That can help to kind of rally their base for next time on the other option of courses that we go to the polls again in another election. Although I don't think that's particularly likely on Xinfang could with hindsight run more candidates and perhaps do better than they did this time We we shouldn't expect any kind of resolution soon because the mats are quite complicated at this time given the result on if we look at the president of the last election it took seventy days time to to form a government and it could be even more complicated this time so we might not be looking at government until April. I'm just looking at the way things are going in. And the idea that shouldn't fain was approached and and now is being pushed out. How acceptable a situation will that be given as what you describe the popularity of Shin Fain in the elections and the changes it caused yes certainly Like I say it's a. It's a narrative that the party will say is them being excluded from power. They'll say that you know the old guard is coming up to preserve their hold on power and won't let them in But also from the point of view Finnegan and fina full they they. There are opposed. To should vein. I mean they. They don't want to simply hand them to keep the keys to government and also a lot of the same way so there's quite a lot of division particularly within fall about whether the right thing to do is to to do a deal with champagne or to exclude them. That that's a split that runs right down through the Party and in the end me home. Martin seems to have taken the attitude that the best option is to exclude them But it's a it's a tricky one for them. They're in a difficult political decision. How happy will voters be though? However if this seismic change isn't actually reflected in the way that the governments are made up. It's a tricky one. I think what Finnegan unfruitful are. Perhaps counting on is that as the weeks go by there will be more of a Desire for stability especially as the brexit negotiations become more pressing. Because that's going to become an issue this week. When the European Union is due to agree they're negotiating guidelines for the next stage of tokes which has massive implications for Arden. It can really make or break the Irish economy so the more in state unstable. Thanks get on the International Scene. I think On funeral are perhaps wondering whether overtime Irish voters might say. It might not be such a bad thing to have a stable experience government in place that was naming leary hosted the Irish passport podcast in Europe correspondent for the Irish time. She joined on the line little earlier on at talk to me about the Irish

"Thank you Ireland holds parliamentary elections day prime minister Leo Varadkar hopes to win more seats for his ruling finna gala party the poll this week shows that his party's in third place the Irish nationalists in feigned surging into the lead we're joined now from Dublin by Jennifer brave political reporter for The Irish Times thanks so much for being with us thanks so much for having me on lot of people the thought it would be a victory lap for their prime minister Barak care the economy is doing well in negotiated a brexit deal with the U. K. that avoided a hard border why would he be trailing in the polls so I think what we saw that at the start of the campaign I think most commentators knew that something was a force here so you know for decades in art and we have had this source of do Walkley basically fearful or fifty gal when the voters did not want to power they thought the other one and and I think what happened after the recession things started changing in our political landscape for years the last system in Ireland left parties have been quite fragmented while the economy is strong we have a number of social crisis so we have housing crisis we have health care crisis and we have a crisis with the cost of living in terms of housing look we we now know that rents Norrland are an all time high we know that they're around just under around ten thousand people homeless elderly people L. people are left can't get access to beds in hospitals and left wishing on trolleys for most families the cost childcare is basically a second mortgage I think people they find it a call and I think to hear this talk of the fantastic economy and you know how we turned it around but then see homeless people on the streets see addict their children moving back home because they can't afford to Roger to get on the property market and I think now there is an appetite for change and I think shin Fane are coming in on that wave Jennifer shin Fane is still associated in many American mind's eye I think with into its ties to the Irish Republican Army how should become a contender in in recent years after Gerry Adams well to be honest with you I think that after Gerry Adams stepped down as leader I married a McDonald's took over that's when a shift started in the party and I think she presents a different face to vouchers so when Gerry Adams used to go on and do and the TV debates that we have he would of course rightly always be asked about those links to the Iraqi which you always tonight and to kind of historical legacy issues in the past not to some of its not historical some of us quite present I I think when merry looked all took over she has made the campaign that those things that I've talked about housing and held on to that third they've got new faces as well they have spokespeople who are very effective and have been viewed as big standard performers in those debates I talk about and it just the shift is there what should then be able to form a government if it wins the most seats no the trend is undeniable torching thing even if they continue on they basically in our parliament our goal which we should explain that the dollars the Irish parliament yeah indeed in the art department now at to get a majority in the next all at UT eighty seats you need that majority of AC seats should it have only one forty two candidates so even if they returned every single one of those candidates which is not going to happen they cannot form a government that's where the focus will move next week focus today's people out costing cussing they're both party turned out is quite high it's our first Saturday election in century on stand by one day the focus will turn completely to how do you form a government on these

Pressure on Pope Francis amid another sexual abuse scandal
"That's unequivocal after the recent news from Pennsylvania detailing, sexual abuse of hundreds of children by priests, lions sat down to write a letter to the Irish Times using Francis own words. She says she is trying to be an apostle of the ear who is hearing patients ongoing Crowley. Those were not heard. I'm also hearing repeats culture of the abuse of power of the arrogance of the concise of the cover up that has gone on in the church of lions says, the pope has promised zero tolerance for sexual abuse, but he needs to do something about it. Michael Kelly is the editor of the Irish Catholic newspaper and the co author of a book called how to defend the faith without raising your voice. Kelly says he's not expecting the pope to fully address the issue of sexual abuse during the short visit to Ireland. But he says the pope is going to have to deal with this issue. It's just no longer tenable for the church to act in a silo as if the only responsibility of your, your average Catholic in the pew is to to pray, pay an obey. So I think the pope really needs to articulate the urgent need for that culture of accountability. Kelly says. The abuse scandal continues to shake the confidence of many practicing Catholics and that's something pope Francis cannot ignore. Just today, the archbishop of Dublin said, the number of children abused by priests and Ireland is immense. And at the number of prosecutions of priests is very low for the world.
