Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:08. | :00:08. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories here in the BBC Newsroom: | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
North Korea has told the BBC it's prepared to launch a nuclear strike | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
if the United States decides to attack it. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
If the US is reckless enough to use military means, it would mean from | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
that very day an all-out war. Our nuclear weapons protect us from that | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
threat. President Erdogan has dismissed | :00:31. | :00:31. | |
criticisms of Turkey's referendum We've been looking at the ambitions | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
of the countries powerful President. In Georgia, a seat in Congress | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
will be selected tomorrow, and President Trump is a key factor | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
in how people are voting. This is a moment we need to stand up | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
and make a statement about the kind of politics we want. This whole game | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
has been changed across the country. I am backing a Republican candidate. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
For the very first time, I am voting Democrat. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
And in Outsode Source Sport, we're looking at Brighton Football Club's | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
And the latest World Surf League event. | :01:09. | :01:24. | |
Let's return to the referendum in Turkey. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
This result means President Erdogan could be in power until 2029. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Earlier in his career, Mr Erdogan said, "Democracy is like a bus. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
When you come to your stop, you get off." | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Evidently, his stop is some way down the road. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
And even before this result, he was a giant of Turkish politics. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
In 2001, he founded the Justice and Development Party of the AKP, | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
In 2001, he founded the Justice and Development Party, or the AKP, | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
He became Prime Minister in 2003 and then President in 2014. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
That was a year after nationwide protests at the alleged | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
authoritarianism of his style of government. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
There was international condemnation over the government's | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Then last July, there was the attempted coup, and a widespread | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
While all of this has been playing out, Turkey has taken in hundreds | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
It's also experienced an increase in terrorist activity, primarily | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
conducted by the Islamic State group and Kurdish militants. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Michael Daventry is the editor of a Turkish newspaper based in London. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
He talked us through his reaction to the vote. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
I certainly did not think he would lose Istanbul or Ankara in the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
results of the vote so from that point of view, it has been a very | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
surprising night. Having this much power has been something he has been | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
dreaming about for the last five, ten years, the style of presidential | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
system is what he wanted and he has got it, at the expense of a very | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
divided country. Lots of countries have presidential systems and do not | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
get the kind of criticism heading in his direction, what is it about this | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
type of presidential system concerning people? This is what the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Government admits to be a Turkish style presidential system and I | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
think the best way to translate that is to call it a system with fewer | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
checks and balances. If Parliament today under the current system | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
wanted to investigate a Minister or the Prime Minister for any kind of | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
wrong doing, the investigation and the votes to topple him would take | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
18 days maximum. Under the new system, it would take ten months. So | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
a significantly longer period of time and it will take more MPs to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
support it. That is just one example, but the checks and balances | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
have been drastically reduced in this new system. Listening to the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
critics of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, they call him authoritarian, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
anti-democratic and other things, is that reasonable when you look at his | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
behaviour in office and as a politician in his career? I think it | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
is very easy to dismiss Recep Tayyip Erdogan as an autocrat. He is a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
realist and has been throughout his career. If you look at what he did | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
ten, 15 years ago, to put Turkey on that route towards the European | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
Union, he was doing, putting forward policies that would genuinely make | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
life better for Turkish people and their living standards went up. In | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
recent times, especially because of domestic issues, that notorious | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
fight with the Pennsylvania -based cleric, all those things have | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
suddenly transformed this man into a man who is fighting for the time. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
And his interpretation of democracy has become 50% plus one and I will | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
ignore the rest of the minority, however large. Donald Trump has | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
found coming into Washington there are obstacles in terms of | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
implementing the policies that he professed to want to do on the | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
campaign trail, do you think those same or similar obstacles may be in | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
the wake of President Erdogan and his ambitions in the coming months? | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
The opposition will be very interesting to watch over the coming | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
days and weeks. This afternoon's report was particularly interesting | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
and it will be interesting to see whether Western countries will adopt | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
the opposition's message. I have to say this is the West's moment and | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
they have to decide what they want about Turkey. They have two roots, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
they can decide Turkey is a trading partner and a security partner and | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
little else, or they can decide they want to back Turkish democracy and | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Turkish freedom and stand up for the values they came to stand up for, it | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
has to go one way or the other now because this really is the moment | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
for them. There is a lot of background information on Turkey's | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
referendum on mine whenever you want a website -- access it. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
This is going to make a pretty nice view if you are watching Brighton. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Right at the top. It's taken 34 years, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
but Brighton Football Club has been promoted from the Championship | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
to the Premier League. The team beat Wigan | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
2-1 earlier today. And a Huddersfield draw 1-1 | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
at Derby sealed the deal. Brighton player | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
Tomer Hemed tweeted... One of the best | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
feelings in the world! I was reading that. Are Brighton | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
earlier and they have come back from the very depths. Disappointment at | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
the end of last season, they drew with Middlesbrough on the last ever | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
game of the season and they missed out on goal difference and finished | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
third in such a strong position. If they win at Norwich on Friday, they | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
win the championship title, the castle have only won two of their | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
last eight. A roller-coaster ride for the fans and at one point in the | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
1980s, they were at the stage of going out all the league football, | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
so the fans are very happy after winning 28 of 43 matches this season | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
and last year, heartbreak when they lost out of the play-offs to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Sheffield Wednesday. This year, it will not be happening. But something | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
interesting from 1983, if you like your music history, new order and | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
blue Monday was out. I guess that is why they call it the blues and Elton | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
John and the Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams. There you go, thank you for | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
that! Don't go anywhere, I want to talk to about the snooker. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
The Snooker World Championships are underway here in the UK. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the biggest name in the sport, | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
and at the end of play yesterday, he accused authorities | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
This is the latest in an ongoing disagreement. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
In January, he was sent a letter from the governing body, | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
He'd publicly criticised a referee, for instance. | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
Since that letter, there have been a number of bizarre media | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
So how would you reflect on the match as a whole? Don't know, | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
really. You seem to take a while to get going. Maybe. | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
# May be your guide be the one that saves me. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
# And after all, you're my Wonderwall. What you think of my | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
lyrics, do you think they are good? Yesterday, he gave | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
an emotional press conference. I phoned barrier four weeks ago and | :08:20. | :08:31. | |
said, I am done with you and your board of people. I have a good | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
friend who said, just like my lawyers deal with it and I would get | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
involved no more because I'm not being bullied and people doing that | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
to me ever again. I am not and I am fortunate I have a very good friend | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
who has a very good lawyer and they have got my back. I just want to | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
play, I just want to have fun. I like Barry, but I am not being, I am | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
not being intimidated or bullied any more. | :09:02. | :09:02. | |
Chairman of World Snooker, Barry Hearn, released | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
a statement saying he takes the matter seriously. | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
And that the accusations are "unfounded". | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Back to you, this is really the last thing the sport once in the middle | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
of its showpiece. It is, and Ronnie O'Sullivan is the biggest attraction | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
on the snooker circuit. This goes back to the Masters tournament which | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
O'Sullivan won in January and was sent a disciplinary letter | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
afterwards. Wearing at a photographer and abusing a match | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
referee. And Barry Hearn was quoted, but Jason Ferguson, the chairman of | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
the world billiards, pool and snooker Association, said in terms | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
of bullying it and intimidation, we do not accept that, and he is more | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
than willing to sit down with Ronnie O'Sullivan and chat about that. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan plays Shaun Murphy on Sunday at Shaun Murphy defeated | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
17-year-old qualifier by 10-8. I can take you to the Crucible | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Theatre now. Marco Fu has fought back from 7-1 down against the | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
Belgian 22-year-old superstar and back into it. And this is the rest | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
of the action from Monday. There has been some results. John Higgins 7-2, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
that moves back to the tables tomorrow. Jim Mallinder one week was | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
the beaten finalist against world War I Mark Selby last year and is | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
7-2 against his Chinese opponent. And Mark Allen from Northern Ireland | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
8-7 up against Jimmy Robinson. All to play for but the Ronnie | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
O'Sullivan story, I have no doubt that will roll album throughout this | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
tournament. And he very much, very interesting tournament and we will | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
have the full coverage throughout the BBC sport website. | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
And as often happens, thousands took part, twe Kenyans won. | :11:00. | :11:13. | |
Edna Kiplagat, too, the women's race. | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
Great stuff in the wheelchair race too. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Manuela Schar and Marcel Hug both set new world-best times. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
The reason it's not a world record is that the course is not | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
It's too downhill and with the possibility | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Arguably, the story of the day came from 70-year-old Kathrine Switzer. | :11:31. | :11:42. | |
In 1967, she became the first woman to formally compete. | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
In this photo, from the Boston Herald, you can see an official | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
And as such, she completely changed the face of marathon running. | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
Let's show you some of the action from the latest | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
Courtney Conlogue, from the United States, | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
After winning, she said she's very honoured and 'super-stoked'. | :12:18. | :12:32. | |
Let's just update you and talk about a couple of stories in a minute. | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
An election in the state of Georgia is getting international attention. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
That's because President Trump has become a major factor | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
He has been tweeting about it. The Democrats are getting a huge amount | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
of funding into Georgia and we can hear about this battle for one seat | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
in Congress is becoming about a far greater national political issue. In | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
the meantime, the latest in the tensions between North Korea and the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
US. Mike Pence has been in South Korea and we have heard from the | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
North Koreans who have been speaking to John Sutton with in Pyongyang and | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
saying, if you attackers, we will consider using our weapons and we | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
will begin using nuclear weapons if need be. A couple of you asking | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
questions. Saying, what can the UN do to do with the situation between | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
North Korea and the US? The UN has already given support to sanctions | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
and that has had limited effects. Beyond that, it is not clear what | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
the UN can do and Donald Trump has already made it clear he will go it | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
alone if need be. This question, how does the South Korean leadership | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
feel about the tensions between North Korea and the US? The | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
Americans and the South Koreans have been conducting military exercises | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
in the last week, so very much on the same page. And the Americans and | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
the South Koreans are bringing in a new system which can take out | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
missiles that have been fired, so the two very much working | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
hand-in-hand. If you have more questions, keep them coming. You | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
will see our e-mail on the screen throughout. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
This summer, some GCSE grades in England are changing, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
with A*-G being replaced by grades 9-1 - a move that's creating huge | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
uncertainty, according to the teachers' union the NASUWT. | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
The Government says standards will go up because the content | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
is more rigorous, and that bright pupils will have a better | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
Our education editor, Branwen Jeffreys, reports. | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
The new system has more grades and replaces letters | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
with the numbers 9 to 1 - with 9 being the highest grade. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
It's all change for GCSE Maths and English this year. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Numbers, not letters, for grades and new, tougher | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
So Umi is getting extra help from her tutor, something many | :14:59. | :15:08. | |
Even so, she's anxious about the exams. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
It's quite daunting, because lots of my teachers don't... | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
They've never taught it before, so they're not | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
used to the new syllabus that's coming in. | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Her mum, Kelly, is trying to get her head round it all. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
A grade 4 will be the same as a C or above. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
A top grade of 9 will be higher than an A*. | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
She doesn't mind the exams' content being made harder. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
But to bring in a new grading system and make the whole exam structure | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
tougher as well means that there's a lot that people have to deal | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Teachers have been debating the changes today. | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
Their union, Nasuwt, says ministers are moving the goalposts. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Headteachers move goalposts for yourself individually. | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
But I think the Government have just taken them away. | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
And we might actually be playing snooker. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Generally, we are just very, very confused about what these | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
grades actually mean and, actually, were they even | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
In a system where everyone understands A* to G, | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
It's only England that's making these changes, starting with Maths | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland are sticking with letters. | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
GCSEs are an important milestone in students' lives... | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Ministers say that's why high standards matter. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
They insist the new system will be fair, a grade 4, | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
This is Outside Source, live from the BBC Newsroom. | :16:41. | :17:02. | |
North Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister has told the BBC that | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Pyongyang will continue to test missiles, despite international | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
condemnation, and that an "all-out war" would result if the US | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
There's a lot of attention on an election in Georgia on Tuesday. | :17:11. | :17:33. | |
That's because Tom Price is now Donald Trump's Health Secretary. | :17:34. | :17:49. | |
Now, this district has been in Republican hands since 1979, | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
This is a poll of polls in the Huffington Post. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
The Democratic candidate is polling well - there are 11 Republicans | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
competing against him and each other. | :17:59. | :17:59. | |
He says the Democrats in the Georgia race tomorrow wants to protect | :18:00. | :18:16. | |
criminals, allow legal immigration and raise taxes, which the Democrats | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
do not agree with. Rajini Vaidyanathan's in Georgia, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
and this the report she's made. We need more Democrats in Washington | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
- Trump is a disaster. Who do you think | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
should win this seat? For the very first time, | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
I'm voting Democrat. The sixth Congressional | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
district in Georgia has been But Democrats think this | :18:36. | :18:36. | |
man can win it back. Jon Ossoff is a political | :18:37. | :18:49. | |
adviser turned documentary maker, who's raised more than $8 | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
million in a race which has been dubbed the "Make Trump | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Furious" campaign. More than anything, I think it | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
would be a win for the thousands of grassroots volunteers | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
who are getting involved many of whom have never been | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
involved in politics before - who see this as a moment | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
when we need to stand up and make a statement | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
about the kind of politics we want. There is no limit to | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
the number of candidates standing for a party, and so there | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
are a whopping 18 contenders - 11 are Republicans, | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
which could split that Unlike on the Democrats' | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
side, where there is a coronation, Republicans | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
believe in competition. That competition has seen a number | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
of anti-establishment candidates enter the fray, | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
including businessman Bruce Lavelle, This whole game has | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
been changed, across In the next two years, | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
you are going to see that in mayoral races, City Council | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
races, Statehouse races, congressional races - because | :19:49. | :19:49. | |
people are tired. Republicans and Democrats have done | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
a horrible job at getting involved with special interests | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
and lobbyists and pay to play. This crowded field of | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
candidates includes local politicians, business people | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
who have never held office, In many ways, this race reflects | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
politics across America. And that's why it's | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
being watched so closely. In November, Donald Trump | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
won this district by a tiny margin, after many Republican | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
voters deserted the party. The result here could hinge on how | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
they vote this time. I have traditionally | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
been voting Republican. I have not really been | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
happy with the Trump administration, and I want this | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
as a message against the I think more Democrats | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
are excited than the Republicans this time around, | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
because of what we saw in this I'm backing a Republican candidate | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
that I think will do a good job. I don't really care | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
for Republicans these days. I'm definitely not a fan | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
of Donald Trump's. And I'm probably going | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
to vote for the Democrat. Whatever happens here will send | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
a message across America. Could it be the start | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
of the Democratic comeback, or will it cement the Republican | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
Party onto President Trump? Patricia Murphy is covering this | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
story and she is live from Georgia. Thank you for your time. Do you | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
think this is part of a broader pattern of the nationalisation of | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
local politics? We will find out tomorrow if the pattern is starting. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
I cannot tell you this race is highly nationalised. Every voter I | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
have spoken with the Democratic side at least has said this about Donald | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
Trump. They know Jon Ossoff and they like him a lot, but the only reason | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
they know anything about him is because of President Trump, people | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
have got more involved in politics than they were before. Paying more | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
attention. And for votes I have spoken with who plan on voting for | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Jon Ossoff, they are sending a message to President Trump, which is | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
a very unusual thing to hear in a special election in Georgia at this | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
time of year. Is this particular system not magnifying the success of | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
the Democrats because the Republicans do not have one | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
candidate, they have over ten? Well, in a way, Republicans are victim of | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
their own success and in Georgia they have 11 candidates. Probably | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
half a dozen very strong candidates in a regular year, any number of | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
those Republicans could get elected easily in a field of two or three. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Jon Ossoff was the only significant Democrats step forward and even be | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
willing to run for the seat. Typically, Democrats in this | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
district to not even bother making a run for it because they think they | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
will lose. Jon Ossoff was one of the few to stand up and say he would run | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
for the seat and try for it. Republicans have too many | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
candidates, what is different this year is that there is no leadership | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
infrastructure to tell some of these Republicans to sit the race out and | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
focus behind two or three Republicans. Jon Ossoff has almost | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
all Democratic voters on his side, but these 11 Republicans are | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
splitting the vote, the money and the enthusiasm among themselves and | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
creating a big opportunity for Tom Price. Interesting to hear about the | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
conversations you are having with people who voted for Donald Trump | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
and how they feel about his performance. I would say that voted | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
for Donald Trump, until the last week, had been largely satisfied | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
with Donald Trump. He was going through the list of promises that he | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
made on the campaign trail and delivering on them, whether it comes | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
to abortion restrictions, loosening environmental restrictions, the | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
people who voted for him knew what they were voting for. In the last | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
week or so, it has been a little different in terms of his role in | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
foreign policy and on the international stage. Conservative | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Trump voters were expecting a more America first posture and have not | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
been getting lately. I don't know that will affect this race, but the | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
energy in this race is not among people who voted for Trump, but | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
among those who did not vote for Trump. In any election, you just | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
want to be where the energy is and that is where the Democrats are | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
feeling much better than usual in a race like this. It is good of you to | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
make time for us, Patricia, thank you and please come back again, | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
Patricia Murphy. One other detail about Georgia, if any of the | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
candidates win 50% or more, they will be going to Congress. However, | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
if not of them get 50%, they will be going to a run-off which could see | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
one Democratic candidate against one Republican candidate, which would | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
make it far harder for the Democrats to do well. We shall see how that | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
unfolds and we will have details tomorrow and on Wednesday. That is | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
it for today, thank you very much, I will see you next week. | :25:00. | :25:07. |
