| 'An embarrassment': Joe Biden criticizes Trump's refusal to concede election Posted: 10 Nov 2020 02:45 PM PST  President-elect says Trump's denial of the result would 'not help his legacy' but says lack of cooperation is not slowing transition * US politics live – follow the latest developmentsJoe Biden said Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election was "an embarrassment", vowing to move forward with the presidential transition despite resistance from the White House and Republican leaders.Biden, answering questions for the first time since he was declared the winner of the 2020 election, intensified his criticism of the president, who continued to baselessly allege voter fraud, and said Trump's denial would "not help his legacy".Though the situation at the White House has caused deepening alarm over whether the US would witness a smooth transfer of power that has been a hallmark of American democracy for generations, Biden promised his team was "going to get right to work" confronting the compounding crises facing the nation.Pointing to unfounded claims of voter fraud, Trump, with the support of senior Republicans in Washington, has maintained that the election is not over and is contesting the results in several states, despite it being called for Biden on Saturday morning almost four days after the polls closed.In a call with reporters on Monday, transition officials said the General Services Administration had yet to issue a letter of "ascertainment" that would recognize Biden as the president-elect and allow his team to begin the transfer of power.Until the decision is made, Biden's staff cannot meet with their counterparts in the White House and other federal agencies, begin to perform background checks for potential appointees or receive security briefings.Biden insisted the delay "does not change the dynamic at all of what we're able to do". Receiving the intelligence briefings that are traditionally shared with the incoming president "would be useful," he said, but added: "We don't see anything slowing us down, quite frankly."Biden was joined by the vice-president-elect, Kamala Harris, at a theater near his home in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, where they delivered remarks after the US supreme court heard the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act.The Democratic leadership have vowed to protect and expand the signature legislation from the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice-president, during the worst public health crisis in more than a century.The US recently surpassed 10m cases of coronavirus, as most states struggled to contain outbreaks during the latest wave of infections."In the middle of a deadly pandemic that's affecting more than 10 million Americans, these ideologues are once again trying to strip health coverage away from the American people," Biden said of the Republican state officials who brought the lawsuit that has ended up before the supreme court, aiming to invalidate the healthcare law.Democrats made healthcare a central theme of the election, and a focus of the supreme court hearing last month for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, whose confirmation cemented a 6-3 conservative court.The health coverage of millions of Americans hangs in the balance if the court rules in favor of Republicans, though Tuesday's arguments indicated that the justices were skeptical of striking down the entire law."Each and every vote for Joe Biden was a statement that healthcare in America should be a right and not a privilege," Harris said in her remarks. She added: "And Joe Biden won this election decisively."Yet few Republicans have recognized Biden as the president-elect. On Tuesday, the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, predicted, with a grin that may have indicated he was attempting humor, "a smooth transition to a second Trump administration".On Capitol Hill, where only a handful of Republicans, have acknowledged Biden's victory, the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, indicated that Trump would have until the 14 December deadline for the electoral college to cast its votes to pursue his legal challenges."Until the electoral college votes, anyone who is running for office can exhaust concerns," McConnell told reporters on Tuesday. He added: "There will be, apparently, litigation. Those cases will be decided. And then the electoral college will meet. And then we'll have the inauguration."Biden laughed off Pompeo's comments and expressed confidence that Republicans would eventually recognize him as the president-elect. Though he had not spoken to McConnell yet, he anticipated that they would connect soon."The whole GOP has been put in a position, with a few notable exceptions, of being mildly intimidated by the sitting president," Biden said.Even as Republicans refuse to recognize Biden, world leaders are doing so. On Tuesday, Biden spoke with the British prime minister, Boris Johnson, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, according to the transition team. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu ,and Turkish president, Tayyip Erdoğan, have also congratulated Biden on the election, as have the leaders of Canada and Ireland. China and Russia have yet to speak up."I'm letting them know that America's back," Biden said, characterizing his conversations with America's allies. "We're back in the game."

| Despite Trump's claims, mail voting ensured smooth election Posted: 10 Nov 2020 02:11 PM PST  The 2020 presidential election had all the makings of a looming disaster: fears of Russian meddling, violence at the polls and voter intimidation, and poll workers fleeing their posts because of the coronavirus. The relatively trouble-free weeks of mail and early, in-person voting and Election Day balloting stand in stark contrast to the unsubstantiated claims of fraud now being leveled by President Donald Trump and his allies after the results made it clear that he lost his bid for another term. "The 2020 general election was one of the smoothest and most well-run elections that we have ever seen, and that is remarkable considering all the challenges," said Ben Hovland, a Democrat appointed by Trump to serve on the Election Assistance Commission, which works closely with officials on election administration.

| Report sounds an alarm on ongoing decline of US coral reefs Posted: 10 Nov 2020 01:50 PM PST  A first of its kind assessment of coral reefs in U.S. waters is again sounding the alarm over the continued decline of these sensitive underwater ecosystems, which scientists deem essential to the health of the world's oceans amid the environmental effects posed by human activity and climate change. The report, released Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Maryland, took stock of the health of coral reefs under U.S. jurisdiction, from Guam and Hawaii in the Pacific to Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Atlantic. "Our work in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans shows a dire outlook for coral reef ecosystem health, from warming ocean waters, fishing, disease, and pollution from the land," said Heath Kelsey, director of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

| Boris Johnson gets first call of any European leader from President-elect Joe Biden Posted: 10 Nov 2020 01:20 PM PST  Boris Johnson pulled off a major diplomatic coup by becoming the first European leader to speak to President-elect Joe Biden since he won the US election. Fears that Britain would be put at the back of the queue because of Mr Biden's disquiet about Brexit proved to be unfounded as the two men spoke for more than 20 minutes on Tuesday afternoon. As well as boosting the "special relationship" between the two countries, Mr Johnson will hope that by prioritising Britain over France and Germany, Mr Biden will not take Brussels' side in the ongoing Brexit trade talks. Mr Johnson was able to use the call to reassure Mr Biden, who is proud of his Irish roots, that the Brexit deal would protect the Good Friday Agreement and the peace process in Northern Ireland. Mr Biden has previously said there would be no US-UK trade deal if the agreement was put in jeopardy by Brexit. Instead, Mr Biden's decision to put Britain so close to the top of his call list has increased hopes of a US-UK trade deal being done. To date, Justin Trudeau of Canada is the only national leader known to have spoken to Mr Biden before Mr Johnson. British diplomats in Washington had tried to manage expectations by suggesting that Britain would be content with being in the first dozen calls made by Mr Biden. Theresa May was only the ninth person to speak to Donald Trump after his election in 2016. A spokesman for Mr Biden said he had "expressed his desire to strengthen the special relationship and re-double cooperation on issues of mutual concern". Mr Biden "especially looks forward to working closely together on global challenges as the United Kingdom prepares to host the 2021 G7 and the UN Climate Change Conference", the spokesman said. Mr Biden has put the environment towards the top of his agenda, promising to re-sign the Paris Agreement on climate change on day one of his presidency after Mr Trump pulled the US out of it. Britain's hosting of the COP-26 climate change conference next year is seen as one of Mr Johnson's strongest cards in building a relationship with a man he has never met. Sources close to Mr Biden have claimed he dislikes Mr Johnson, partly because of his closeness to Mr Trump and partly because Mr Biden believes Brexit was a mistake. Mr Biden's spokesman said he had "expressed his interest in cooperating with the UK, NATO, and the EU on shared trans-Atlantic priorities, and reaffirmed his support for the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland". Downing Street made no mention of the discussion of the Good Friday Agreement in its readout of the call, but said that the two men were looking forward to working together "on areas such as trade" and that Mr Johnson issued a formal invitation to both the G7 and COP-26. Mr Johnson's place in the queue meant he was able to address any concerns Mr Biden had about the status of the agreement before EU leaders including Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel could raise the matter. It came as the Government delayed a vote over legislation that threatens to tear up parts of the Brexit divorce deal, which had threatened to poison relations with Mr Biden. Mr Biden has warned there will not be a trade deal with the US if the controversial clauses become law because, he says, it would jeopardise the Good Friday Agreement. The President-elect repeated his commitment to the agreement in a call with Micheál Martin, Ireland's prime minister, after he spoke to Mr Johnson. Mr Johnson pushed back a Commons vote on the Internal Market Bill, which overrides parts of the Withdrawal Agreement relating to Northern Ireland, until the end of the month at the earliest. The Prime Minister has bought time to see if a UK-EU trade deal can be struck, which would allow for a face-saving climbdown over the relevant clauses, which peers stripped out of the Bill on Monday. The clauses in the Bill are only relevant if there is a no trade deal exit at the end of the year. UK and EU negotiators are in London for intensified trade talks to try and reach a deal by mid-November. An EU diplomat said, "Don't expect us to rejoice. Mr Johnson may be giving the trade negotiations sufficient space but the EU will never sign a trade deal if these clauses are in law." The Government said the measures were a "legal safety net" to ensure free-flowing trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

| Trump White House Still Vetting for Job Openings For a Second Term That’s Not Happening Posted: 10 Nov 2020 12:25 PM PST  In yet another sign that the president is still refusing to initiate a smooth, orderly transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden, Donald Trump's White House continues to vet possible political appointees for a second term—despite the fact that there isn't going to be one.According to two sources familiar with the situation, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) is still in the process of vetting candidates for job openings in various parts of the federal government, positions that the White House intended to fill by early next year. The office, which is tasked with staffing the federal agencies, is headed by Trump uber-loyalist and purge-overseer John McEntee. And it is still contacting listed references and conducting background checks, even though major networks called the 2020 presidential election for Biden on Saturday.The planning around second-term staffing has come as no surprise to administration officials and senior campaign aides who are, at the moment, being forced to operate under the false hope that Trump will serve an additional four years. On Tuesday, the Washington Post reported that "the White House budget office has instructed federal agencies to continue preparing the administration's budget proposal for the next fiscal year." Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said to reporters, when asked about a Trump-Biden presidential transition process, that "there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."A White House spokesman did not respond to requests for comment on this story.Pompeo Claims 'There Will Be a Smooth Transition to a Second Trump Administration'Despite the apparent clear-cut nature of his defeat, President Trump, his campaign staff, and his team of lawyers have launched a public-relations blitz smearing the legitimacy of the 2020 election. They have also launched multiple legal challenges that have either been dismissed by the courts or which experts in the field widely believe are doomed and groundless.This is all being conducted against the backdrop of Trump administration officials' attempts to make the transition, and the start of the Biden era, as inconvenient as they can for the incoming president. Trump officials, some of whom had long expected Biden to win, have been trying to find concrete ways to further complicate policy initiatives that the former vice president had said would be at the fore of his first-year agenda, including reentering the Iran nuclear deal. On Monday, the president began fulfilling what he'd previously envisioned as second-term staffing priorities, including the firing of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, largely for insufficient fealty. Furthermore, an obscure Trump administration appointee has declined to sign a piece of paper that would allow the Biden team to officially start much of the painstaking, post-election tasks that come with a peaceful transition of presidential power.President Trump, of course, had famously declined to commit to the democratic tradition of a peaceful, orderly transition, when pressed on the topic during this election cycle. And he doesn't look close to abating from his post-election tantrums any time soon.Among the president's inner circle, most of the major players are backing Trump's mission to overturn, or at least cast reckless doubt on, the election, even as many quietly acknowledge to each other that it's over. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior White House aide, "has been more hardcore in fighting back on this than anybody," said Jason Miller, a top Trump campaign aide.Among other efforts, the Trump campaign (or what's left of it) has launched a hotline for supporters and tipsters to call or message in with leads on alleged voter fraud that Republicans should investigate. However, the tip line has largely been a massive bust. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the hotline has been flooded with apparent crank callers impersonating figures such as Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and popular podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan, as well as hideous, loud vulgarities, farting noises, and threats of physical violence—all delivered to junior and mid-level staff on the Trump team who are assigned to man the hotline.It's yet another instance in which staff have been put in the position of holding jobs and carrying out assignments for Trump that they recognize as a road to nowhere. This applies to administration staffers, too. On Monday, CNN's Jake Tapper reported that McEntee had also been "spreading the word throughout the administration that if he hears of anyone looking for another job they will be fired."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Cunningham concedes to US Sen. Tillis in North Carolina Posted: 10 Nov 2020 12:20 PM PST  Democrat Cal Cunningham conceded to incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina on Tuesday, saying "the voters have spoken" and it was clear Tillis had won. With Cunningham's concession, all eyes turned to Georgia, where two U.S. Senate runoff races in January are likely to determine the balance of the upper chamber. With votes still uncounted and the races in North Carolina and Alaska still too early to call Tuesday, the Senate remained tied 48-48.

| Former Obama official calls Pompeo's presidential transition comments 'reckless,' 'damaging to U.S. security' Posted: 10 Nov 2020 12:09 PM PST  Some are concerned by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's comment about a "second Trump administration." Others think they're taking the bait.Pompeo on Tuesday refused to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden's victory, saying rather than readying for new leadership, he believes "there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration." Some critics found the words alarming, while others saw the statement as an attempt to rile up President Trump's base by allowing Pompeo to claim he was joking and blast his opponents for overreacting. Even if that is the case, some say, the joke isn't funny.Count former Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, who also served on former President Barack Obama's national security council, among those who are legitimately concerned. Power tweeted that Pompeo's words were "reckless, dangerous, and damaging to U.S. security.Meanwhile, another Obama official, Ben Rhodes, who served as the deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, called Pompeo out for hypocrisy, arguing the State Department would publicly condemn a similar statement from a foreign official whose party lost an election. > The State Department would normally be putting out statements condemning comments like this from foreign officials whose party lost elections. https://t.co/Iw292RFwPq> > -- Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) November 10, 2020More stories from theweek.com Trump wants to be forced out Trump's aggressive assault on election integrity is reportedly making some of his outside lawyers queasy 3 Latino politicians considered top contenders to fill Kamala Harris' Senate seat

| Buying a coronavirus vaccine for everyone on Earth, storing and shipping it, and giving it safely will all be hard and expensive Posted: 10 Nov 2020 11:20 AM PST  Infectious diseases do not respect borders. An estimated 3 billion people in low-income countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America are likely to lack access to a COVID-19 vaccine for years after it becomes available. In poor nations, many communities lack the health care workers needed to administer vaccines, as well as the capacity to handle vaccines properly by keeping them extremely cold. As a bioethicist studying global access to essential medicines, I'm closely monitoring what wealthy countries, foundations and international organizations are doing about this problem. COVAXThe COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility, or COVAX, is a joint effort by 184 countries working with international organizations to make it possible for people everywhere to get affordable access to COVID-19 vaccines as they become available. So far, COVAX has raised about US$1.8 billion toward an initial target of $2 billion to cover the cost of manufacturing and distributing COVID-19 vaccines around the world.The goal of this initiative is to produce 2 billion doses by the end of 2021. However, many of the rich countries taking part are striking their own deals apart from COVAX to assure that they will get early access to a vaccine.These instances of "vaccine nationalism" threaten to undermine COVAX and other attempts to equitably distribute new COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.Several large industrialized countries – including the U.S. and Russia – have opted to stay out of the agreement altogether. They are making their own arrangements with pharmaceutical companies instead. UNICEFDistributing COVID-19 vaccines could prove as hard as or harder than coming up with the money to pay for them.That's because the most promising vaccines require constant and extremely cold storage. Especially in areas where access to electricity is unreliable or missing altogether, there simply are not enough health facilities with the required refrigeration capacity.Nearly 3 billion people around the world live in places lacking the temperature-controlled storage needed for a wide-scale immunization campaign. How bad this problem turns out to be will depend on which vaccines are ultimately approved, because not every vaccine undergoing clinical trials requires storage at the same cold temperatures.What's more, there are not enough health workers to administer the vaccines, and it's extremely hard for many people in poor communities to travel to health clinics. The United Nations Children's Fund, a U.N. agency that provides aid to children worldwide, is leading the COVAX initiative's vaccine distribution plans. UNICEF has worked with the public-private partnership called GAVI, formerly Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, in the past to supply developing countries with the specialized refrigeration technology needed to keep vaccines ice-cold.In addition, UNICEF aims to stockpile 520 million syringes by the end of 2020, up to 1 billion syringes by 2021 and 5 million safety disposal boxes. International organizations and foundationsSeveral other international organizations are also working to make sure that people in low-income countries will have access to a COVID-19 vaccine and to treatments as well. As of October 2020, the World Bank planned to provide US$12 billion to finance vaccine acquisition and deployment in low- and middle-income countries like India and Nigeria. Other regional development banks are also playing an important role, since COVAX will not provide enough vaccines for everyone in the world. For instance, in sub-Saharan Africa, only 28% of health care facilities have access to reliable electricity, so the African Export-Import Bank has $3 million in grant funding to help communities procure equipment and supplies. Moreover, the bank is talking with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention about allocating $5 billion to buy COVID-19 vaccines.And the Global Fund has allocated $665 million of the estimated $20 billion needed to vaccinate everyone in the whole world. Their COVID-19 Response Mechanism will improve supply chains for vaccine distribution and health systems in general.Other organizations with extensive experience in vaccination campaigns are also stepping up to help.For example, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative is providing staff trained to do polio surveillance to test wastewater for COVID-19, distribute masks and hand sanitizer, and perform contact tracing. When a vaccine becomes available, this polio group will likely help out as well.Foundations, especially the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are also playing a role.The Gates Foundation is teaming up with GAVI and the Serum Institute of India to speed up COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing.The vaccines will be sold for no more than $3 a dose to 92 low- and middle-income countries including Brazil, Chile, Singapore and South Africa.In 1999, the Gates Foundation pledged $750 million to launch GAVI, and it has given $4 billion to the organization to date. At the 2020 Global Vaccine Summit, a virtual meeting hosted by the U.K., the Gates Foundation promised to spend $1.6 billion to vaccinate 300 million children against several diseases, including COVID-19 once vaccines become available.The Gates Foundation is also participating in a joint effort with the World Health Organization and several other international organizations to pay for 100 million antigen rapid diagnostic tests being made available in low- and middle-income countries – where they are priced at $5 or less.Likewise, many other philanthropic efforts are underway in conjunction with companies and international agencies.[Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation's newsletter.]The Wellcome Trust, for example, in partnership with the Gates Foundation and Mastercard, has funded the COVID-19 Therapeutic Accelerator a research alliance to develop new COVID-19 treatments and tests. In my view, these efforts are just as important as efforts to develop, manufacture, and distribute new vaccines. After all, if no safe and effective vaccine emerges, testing, tracing, personal protective equipment and treatments will remain essential for combating the pandemic and saving millions of lives around the world.This article is republished from The Conversation, a nonprofit news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts.

| Biden's climate change plans can quickly raise the bar, but can they be transformative? Posted: 10 Nov 2020 11:20 AM PST  The day Joe Biden becomes president, he can start taking actions that can help slow climate change. The question is whether he can match the magnitude of the challenge.If his administration focuses only on what is politically possible and fails to build a coordinated response that also addresses the social and economic ramifications of both climate change and the U.S. policy response, it is unlikely to succeed.I have spent much of my career working on responses to climate change internationally and in Washington. I have seen the quiet efforts across political parties, even when the rhetoric was heated. There is room for effective climate actions, particularly as heat waves, wildfires and extreme weather make the risks of global warming tangible and the costs of renewable energy fall. A coordinated strategy will be crucial to go beyond symbolic actions and bring about transformative change. Starting on day oneLet's first take a look at what Biden can do quickly, without having to rely on what's likely to be a divided Congress.Biden has already pledged to rejoin the Paris climate agreement. With an executive order and some wrangling with the United Nations, that will happen fairly quickly. But the agreement is only a promise by nations worldwide to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.To start moving the country back toward its obligations under the Paris Agreement, Biden can recertify the waiver that allows California to implement its fuel economy and zero-emissions vehicle standards. The Trump administration had revoked it. California is a big state, and its actions are followed by others, which puts pressure on the auto industry to meet higher standards nationwide.In a similar way, Biden can direct government agencies to power their buildings and vehicles with renewable energy.The administration can also limit climate-warming greenhouse emissions by regulating activities like the flaring of methane on public lands. The Trump administration rolled back a large number of climate and environmental regulations over the past four years.There are even legislative actions that could get through a divided Congress, such as funding for clean energy technology. The big job: Transformational changeThat's the easy part. The hard part is catalyzing the transformational changes needed to slow global warming and protect the climate our economy was built on.The last five years have been the hottest on record, and 2020 is on pace to join them. Meeting the Paris Agreement's goals for keeping global warming in check will require reworking how we generate and transmit energy and overhauling how we grow food in ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Biden has pledged to lay the groundwork for 100% clean energy by 2050, including investing hundreds of billions of dollars in technologies and industries that can lower emissions and create jobs. His ideas for transforming food systems have been less concrete.The new administration will have to walk a tightrope. It can't risk spending down its political capital on actions that are possible but don't amount to much. It also has to recognize the risk of public backlash to anything that might raise costs, be labeled "socialism" by opponents or leave part of the country harmed.Transformative solutions will have to address both the benefits and the costs, and provide a path to a healthy future for those facing the greatest losses. That means, for example, not just ending coal burning, a significant contributor to climate change, but also helping communities and workers transition from coal mining to new jobs and economic drivers that are healthier for the environment. What needs to happen firstOne of the big challenges – and the place where Biden needs to start – is the lack of understanding of systemic risks, opportunities and costs of both climate actions and inaction.Right now, there is no federal agency tasked with developing a systemic understanding of climate change impacts across society.An existing executive branch entity, such as the Council on Environmental Quality or the U.S. Global Change Research Program, could convene a task force of political staff, academics and civil society to assess climate policy proposals, identify the benefits and costs and then advise the administration. Working across agencies, the task force would be positioned to look at the entire system and identify the wider effects of proposed policies or actions and how they might interact. Similar entities, such as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and Congressional Research Service, are already central to policymaking. Their work will have to move fast. The very nature of complex systems means the task force will provide advice on climate actions under uncertainty. [Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation's newsletter.]Aligning the possible and the transformational is the challenging work of politics, and this is where Biden's 47 years in Washington and reputation for working across the aisle are invaluable. It will be extraordinarily challenging work to match an extraordinary challenge. It is also necessary if the Biden administration, headed by a man who called himself a transition candidate, wants to leave his country and the world better than they found it.This article is republished from The Conversation, a nonprofit news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts.

| Vatican report reveals anonymous letters accusing McCarrick Posted: 10 Nov 2020 10:46 AM PST  The Vatican's report on ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick revealed the previously unknown contents of six anonymous letters accusing him of pedophilia that were sent to U.S. church leaders in the early 1990s and later forwarded to the Holy See. New York's then-archbishop, Cardinal John O'Connor, forwarded them to the Vatican in 1999, shortly before he died, along with a six-page confidential memo in which he recommended McCarrick not be promoted to any important U.S. diocese because of a "scandal of great proportions" that would erupt if the allegations became public. The 449-page report also included testimony from a woman identified only as "Mother 1" who told Vatican investigators she, too, tried to raise the alarm with anonymous letters in the 1980s when McCarrick was bishop in Metuchen, New Jersey, after she saw McCarrick "massaging (her sons') inner thighs" at her home.

| AP Explains: Election's validity intact despite Trump claims Posted: 10 Nov 2020 10:32 AM PST  The U.S. presidential election was not tainted by widespread voter fraud or irregularities in how ballots were counted, despite a huge effort by President Donald Trump to prove otherwise. In refusing to concede the election, Trump claims that he would have won were it not for "illegal" votes counted in several states that he lost or where he is currently trailing. Nonpartisan investigations of previous elections have found that voter fraud is exceedingly rare.

| Census Bureau denies fake data allegations by census workers Posted: 10 Nov 2020 09:57 AM PST  The U.S. Census Bureau denied any attempts to systemically falsify information during the 2020 head count used to determine the allocation of congressional seats and federal spending, even as more census takers told The Associated Press they were pressured to do so. The Census Bureau statement was issued Monday night in response to AP reports of census workers who said they were told by supervisors to enter fake answers on the head-count forms in order to close cases in the waning days of the census. After the AP reported the allegations in Massachusetts and Indiana, 10 other census takers stepped forward and told similar stories of being rushed to close cases as they faced a shortened deadline to end field operations for the 2020 census — even if it meant getting things wrong.

| Government delays Internal Market Bill vote until end of month Posted: 10 Nov 2020 09:33 AM PST  The Government has delayed a vote over legislation that threatens to tear up the Brexit divorce deal and poison relations with US President-elect Joe Biden. Boris Johnson pushed back a Commons vote on the Internal Market Bill, which overrides parts of the Withdrawal Agreement relating to Northern Ireland, until the end of the month at the earliest. The Prime Minister has bought time to see if a UK-EU trade deal can be struck, which would allow for a face-saving climbdown over the offending clauses, which peers stripped out of the Bill on Monday. The clauses in the Bill are only relevant if there is a no deal exit at the end of the year. UK and EU negotiators are in London for intensified trade talks to try and reach a deal by mid-November. An EU diplomat said, "Don't expect us to rejoice. Mr Johnson may be giving the trade negotiations sufficient space but the EU will never sign a trade deal if these clauses are in law." Mr Biden has warned there will not be a trade deal with the US if the offending clauses become law because it would jeopardise the Good Friday Agreement. Mr Biden, who is proud of his Irish roots, repeated his commitment to the peace process in a call with Micheál Martin, Ireland's prime minister, which lasted more than 20 minutes. He also spoke to Mr Johnson and Angela Merkel on Tuesday. "If the election of Joe Biden contributes to the limited time that we now have being used effectively, then that's good," said Heiko Maas, foreign minister of Germany, which holds the Presidency of the EU. The Government said the measures were a "legal safety net" to ensure free-flowing trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. MPs would be asked to put them back into legislation, Downing Street said. The European Commission accused Britain of refusing to explain its plans for post-Brexit rules for the City of London. That meant it could not grant UK financial services firms equivalence, which is the right to operate in the EU from January 1. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said Brussels was withholding equivalence as a "political weapon" on Monday as he granted EU firms approval to work in the UK.

| Kenosha shooter's mother tries to deflect blame from her son Posted: 10 Nov 2020 09:29 AM PST  The mother of an Illinois 17-year-old charged in the fatal shooting of two men during a protest in Wisconsin said neither her son nor the protesters should have been on the street that night and put much of the blame for what happened on police and the governor. Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, is also charged in the wounding of a third person Aug. 25 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the demonstration to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man. Rittenhouse said her son felt he needed to protect businesses in Kenosha from the looting that erupted after Blake was shot seven times in the back two nights earlier.

| US surpasses 1 million virus cases in November Posted: 10 Nov 2020 08:41 AM PST  The U.S. has surpassed 1 million new confirmed coronavirus cases in just the first 10 days of November, with more than 100,000 infections each day becoming the norm in a surge that shows no signs of slowing. The Wisconsin governor planned to take the unusual step of delivering a live address to the state Tuesday, urging unity and cooperation to fight COVID-19. The alarming wave of cases across the U.S. looks bigger and is more widespread than the surges that happened in the spring, mainly in the Northeast, and then in the summer, primarily in the Sun Belt.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., won another term as Republican leader, his office said, cementing his role as the longest-serving GOP leader in U.S. history. Sen.

| Trump's name spotted in Johnson's Biden congratulations Posted: 10 Nov 2020 07:58 AM PST  Keen-eyed political observers on Tuesday noticed an unusual feature in a tweet from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson congratulating U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on his election victory: the ghost of an alternative message congratulating Donald Trump. The words "Trump" and "second term" could be seen faintly in the background of the message, which was sent Saturday from the prime minister's Twitter account shortly after Biden was declared the winner of the U.S. presidential election. Johnson had a warm relationship with Trump, a supporter of Brexit, despite the two leaders' differences on major issues such as climate change and the Iran nuclear deal.

| Putin ‘Betrays’ Allies to Let Turkey Win the Peace in Nagorno-Karabakh Posted: 10 Nov 2020 06:39 AM PST  MOSCOW—Heavy Russian military trucks rolled toward the border with the disputed, ethnic Armenian region of Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday, just a few hours after President Vladimir Putin announced a Russian-brokered peace deal to end a six-week war in the Caucasus. Russia planned to deploy more than 1,600 soldiers to keep the peace but left in place military gains by Azerbaijan and its ally Turkey.The shifting military situation in the south Caucasus, all while the United States is distracted by the aftermath of the presidential election, made many in both Moscow and Yerevan wonder why Putin would tolerate Turkey sharing Russian influence in the region, a crossroads for the Middle East and Europe.The Gravedigger Who Fears Digging His Own Son's Grave in Nagorno-KarabakhThe peace that Putin insisted should be "useful for all" sides obliged Russia's strategic partner, Armenia, to return to Azerbaijan much of the territories of a so-called "security belt" around Nagorno-Karabakh captured in the early 1990s. The United States, Putin's spokesman said Tuesday, had no role in the negotiations."The agenda has totally changed overnight," Arthur Pashinyan, a Moscow-based Armenian political analyst, told The Daily Beast. "If before the United States and France negotiated Karabakh's peace with Moscow, today it is Russia and Turkey who are going to control the fulfillment of this fragile peace agreement. I cannot understand why Putin would give up Russia's monopoly influence in the south Caucasus. Is it an argument against the United States? Americans can put pressure on Russia by economic sanctions, but Turkey is building a powerful empire. It would not surprise me if we see Turkish military in Central Asia in a few years."Russian state television channels aired Putin's statement, which focused on the immediate accomplishment of ending the fighting: "The Azerbaijani Republic and the Republic of Armenia should stop at the positions they have occupied," Putin said. As if to assert Russia's control of an area already slipping under Turkey's influence, the ceasefire specified that fighting would stop at midnight in Moscow, rather than local time.The Russian Federation would deploy a peacekeeping contingent along the corridor connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with the Republic of Armenia, Putin said. The peace deal was signed just hours after Azerbaijan's military had shot down a Russian helicopter in what appeared to be a last-minute accident. Two pilots died in the crash. Baku apologized and Moscow accepted the apology.For Armenians, the surrender of land came as a shock. To stop at the current positions meant capitulation to many but continuing the fight without Russia's support sounded suicidal. "Battles were already occurring on the approaches to Stepanakert and if military action had continued at the same pace, we would have lost the whole Artsakh in a few days," the leader of the self-proclaimed republic, Araik Haratyunyan, said on Tuesday, using the Armenian name for Nagorno-Karabakh.Attack Drones Dominating Tanks as Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict Showcases the Future of WarThe conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh started in the late 1980s, on the eve of the fall of the USSR. The conflict remained unsolved for more than 30 years. The latest violence began on September 27. Putin said the war has killed more than 5,000 people in six weeks, though the real death toll may be higher. Today many of the Azerbaijani internally displaced people could return home to regions lost in the early post-Soviet war.Hundreds of vehicles, decorated with Azeri national flags, packed with happy youths raced around Azerbaijan's capital of Baku on Tuesday. While Azerbaijan partied, celebrating the victory, a real mess unfolded in Yerevan.Many felt betrayed by Russia, pushed into an unfair deal. Hundreds of protesters broke into the State Parliament looking for the prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, saying they wanted to beat up the "traitor."A furious crowd attacked a vehicle belonging to the speaker of the parliament, Ararat Mirzoyan; protesters pulled the official out of a car and beat him up in front of his children. Armenians continued to protest against "giving up the land" in Nagorno-Karabakh, per the terms of the Kremlin-backed deal. Pashinyan, whose whereabouts are unknown, was left complaining in a post on Facebook about protesters breaking into his residence and stealing his property.To long-time Kremlin watches, Putin's game in the region was clear enough: a concession to Turkey in exchange for control of Armenian domestic politics. Putin has loathed Pashinyan since he rose to power after a street demonstration two years ago."From Putin's point of view the current situation is a success all the way around: he strikes peace and gets rid of Pashinyan, whom he never liked," Timur Olevsky, a political observer of the Current Time television show, told The Daily Beast. "Putin does not think of defending Christianity against Islam. On the contrary, as we can see in the Middle East, Putin seems more successful dealing with Muslim leaders."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Ministers refuse to back down on Brexit bill after Lords revolt Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:25 AM PST  Number 10 is planning to defy the Lords and retable the controversial law-breaking clauses contained in a key piece of Brexit legislation. It comes after the Lords voted overwhelmingly against the Government on Monday night and rejected Boris Johnson's "Trump like" Internal Market Bill. The Lords voted 433 to 165 – a majority 268 – to remove two sets of international law-breaking clauses from the UK Internal Market Bill, which faced fierce criticism led by Tory former leader Lord Michael Howard and Lord Ken Clarke, the Conservative ex-chancellor. Peers went on to inflict a further defeat on the Government by 407 votes to 148, majority 259, stripping out a further contentious clause relating to the Northern Ireland Protocol. Speaking in the chamber, Lord Howard said the UK would be setting a "lamentable example" if it breaks international law. Lord Clarke said the legislation was "immoral", describing it as "intrinsically ridiculous and deeply damaging". Former Prime Minister Sir John Major said the legislation had "damaged our reputation around the world". "Lawyers everywhere are incredulous that the UK – often seen as the very cradle of the Rule of Law – could give themselves the power to break the law," he added.

| Russia's rigged elections look nothing like the US election – they have immediate, unquestioned results there Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:24 AM PST  The 2020 election, in which Joe Biden is the projected winner, is not what a rigged election looks like. Rigged elections are organized. Vote counts certainly don't play out in front of the country on television screens. When it's a decentralized, sprawling affair that is broadcast for many days and nights, you can be pretty sure it's democracy.If you want to know what stolen elections look like, look at Russia, where we have studied elections and the media for decades. The early heyday of Russian democracy was very messy. Just after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the Kremlin poured money and resources into a Western-looking pro-market party called Russia's Choice. Despite the money and help it got, the party failed spectacularly in the 1993 election. Meanwhile, nationalists and Communists, parties with strong connections to voters and their beliefs, won their way into power through the elections. But outcomes were unpredictable and the campaigns were chaotic. How to steal an election, Russian-styleOver time, the Putin regime systematically consolidated its domination over politics, turning elections from a democratic contest into a controlled system that delivered regime victories. Russian elections are now state-directed performances that eliminate opposition. Random targeted arrests and violence – especially against those who try to lead alternative political movements – are common. Alexei Navalny, leader of a reform movement and now recovering from a poisoning, could tell us a lot about that. So could Yegor Zhukov, a student blogger who was arrested and convicted of extremism and then beaten outside of his home for his political actions.Even eliminating viable opposition can't ensure certain victories at the polls. To eliminate all risk, as Russia demonstrates, autocrats must take four additional steps: 1. Dominate the media message by controlling major news outlets through ownership, creating laws that stifle press freedom and repressing outspoken journalists. 2. Assert control over local government officials who then ensure that voters turn out to support the regime. 3. Build a vote tabulation process that allows ballot stuffing and falsified vote counts. 4. Declare victory immediately and allow no questioning of the results. Emerging from a decade of economic and political chaos in 2000, President Vladimir Putin honed his electoral machine to do just that. The Kremlin used its media control to project a dominant narrative in support of Putin. He never campaigned for votes. He appeared nightly on state television delivering new technology to hospitals or dedicating new monuments to Russia's World War II victory. All this creates the image of an unassailable leader and inevitable winner.Together with legislative allies, the Kremlin changed electoral laws at every election to maintain the dominance of the pro-Kremlin party. Government officials, including governors and mayors who rely on the Kremlin to keep their jobs, also have developed informal practices to deliver victories. For example, local officials demand that state workers in factories, hospitals and schools turn out to vote. It's common to insist that employees bring other voters with them or face losing their jobs. These officials also put paid loyalists on buses to vote at several polling stations in a single day.There is an unwritten regulation that poll workers must be members of the pro-Kremlin party, United Russia. And they count behind closed doors, padding the vote as they go. Kremlin tactics not possible in USHow Russia's leaders have rigged their elections is the opposite of the transparent and accountable vote tabulation that played out online and on television across the U.S. That open and deliberate process, both of counting and reporting the results, underscored that widespread electoral fraud is not feasible in the U.S. In the United States, the opposition is protected by constitutional rights and strong democratic norms. President Donald Trump is mostly limited to name-calling and slurs – inelegant, but not illegal. Trump also must work within the legal system, filing lawsuits that have been largely unsuccessful so far. The country's democratic institutions held, regardless of the partisan tenor of the states or localities in which votes were being counted. Despite pressure from the White House and the president's vocal supporters, elected and appointed officials stood strong and played by the rules. The failure of electoral disinformationEven in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Republican-led legislatures in some swing states refused to allow early counting of an anticipated record number of mail-in ballots. The extended post-Election Day counting that turned the vote from Trump to Biden gave the president an opening to call the results into question. Yet, as numerous court cases have shown, the votes were carefully counted under the watch of observers from both parties and shown nationally on livestream feeds.At the same time, media organizations made tough decisions to support electoral integrity, largely by not calling the election until the result was clear – despite growing pressure to do so.Some networks switched off live coverage when a presidential press conference devolved into propaganda about fraud. That deprived the presidential narrative of air. Both steps are impossible in authoritarian states.[Deep knowledge, daily. Sign up for The Conversation's newsletter.]So when President Trump makes claims about falsified ballots and a rigged election, we can imagine observers in the Kremlin shaking their heads and musing that Trump wouldn't even know where to start with that. The difference in the two systems is stark. Rigged elections in Russia rely on a system of management honed over years. In 2020, the decentralized, 50-state electoral process in the U.S. worked in the face of challenges to democracy.This is what a democratic election looks like – big and fat and a bit of a mess.This article is republished from The Conversation, a nonprofit news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts.

| Vatican faults others for McCarrick's rise, spares Francis Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:01 AM PST  A Vatican investigation into former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick found that bishops, cardinals and popes downplayed or dismissed multiple reports of sexual misconduct and determined that Pope Francis merely continued his predecessors' handling of the predator until taking action when a former altar boy alleged abuse. The Vatican took the extraordinary step Tuesday of publishing its two-year, 449-page internal investigation into the American prelate's rise and fall in a bid to restore credibility to the U.S. and Vatican hierarchies, which have been shattered by the McCarrick scandal. The report put the lion's share of blame on a dead saint: Pope John Paul II, who appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington, D.C., in 2000, despite having commissioned an inquiry that confirmed he slept with seminarians.

| Media Alert: Farsight Security Director of Research Joe St Sauver to Present “Anomalous DNS Traffic During the 2020 Pandemic” at the 2020 APWG eCrime Symposium Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:00 AM PST  SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What: Farsight Security® Distinguished Scientist and Director of Research Joe St Sauver will present, "Anomalous DNS Traffic During the 2020 Pandemic" on Wednesday, November 18th, 2020 at the 2020 APWG eCrime Symposium, a virtual event that will be held from November 16th-19th, 2020. Registration is required to attend the event.Denial of service attacks remain an unfortunate aspect of online life, and a worry for virtually all network and system administrators. While preparing a routine research report on observed passive DNS traffic volumes for select industries, from airlines and retail to streaming and technology, during the 2020 pandemic, Farsight uncovered evidence of anomalous traffic spikes associated with DNS SOA ("Start of Authority") records and select other RRtypes. This unexpected traffic was not the more-gradual growth in traffic expected (and observed) as the economy reconfigured itself and businesses and families reconfigured to adjust to the lockdown and other changes due to Covid-19. The traffic spikes we saw were more likely associated with third-party attackers leveraging the DNS servers of major sites as a denial of service reflector/amplifier. This phenomena is briefly described in Section 6, (pages 16-20) in our research report. In this presentation, Dr. St Sauver will describe the phenomena in more detail and outline the importance of (a) limiting the use of DNS wildcarding, (b) enabling DNS Response Rate Limiting, and (c) monitoring traffic levels on major DNS servers as part of forestalling the proliferation of these types of attacks.Who: Joe St Sauver, Distinguished Scientist and Director of Research, Farsight Security, @FarsightSecIncWhen: Wednesday, November 18th, 2020 1:45 PM – 2:15 PM ET *NOTE: Registration for the 2020 APWG eCrime Symposium is required to attend this session.Tweet This: Joe St Sauver from @FarsightSecInc to present, "Anomalous DNS Traffic During the 2020 Pandemic" at the 2020 @APWG eCrime Symposium on 11/18 at 1:45 PM ETAbout APWG APWG is the international coalition unifying the global response to cybercrime across industry, government and law-enforcement sectors and NGO communities.
