One of the tweets Trump retransmitted that morning was about West Virginia Governor Jim Justice. He had said that he would not recognize Biden as the winner. So it said in the headline,
which apparently warmed Trump's heart so much that he called Justice "Big Jim". Justice said, according to CBS, that he won't recognize Biden until all votes are tallied and recounts (like in Georgia) complete. But when Biden is confirmed as the winner,
"we should all celebrate and support him," said the governor. On Saturday, major TV stations, including Fox News, and the AP news agency declared Biden the winner - before all the votes were counted.
This has been the norm for decades and Trump was good enough just four years ago - and by the way also with Alaska, where he was declared the winner in the same way yesterday.
Really tricky, in other words: suspicious of a coup if governors like Justice and other top Republicans do not recognize Biden even after all the votes have been counted.

First transmission of the Seoul virus from animals to humans in Germany

Not only the coronavirus can be transmitted from animals to humans.
In Germany, the transmission of the highly infectious Seoul virus, which is widespread in Asia, has been detected for the first time from an animal to a person. Seoul viruses belong to the hantavirus family.
Researchers from the Berlin Charité and the Friedrich Loeffler Institute on the island of Riems were able to detect the virus in a domestic rat and its owner from Lower Saxony. The Seoul orthohantavirus often leads to serious illnesses.

The Bavarian Administrative Court has overturned the complete closure of fitness studios in the course of the partial lockdown. The complete closure violates the principle of equal treatment,
the court ruled in a decision published in Munich on Thursday. The corresponding regulation in the Bavarian state ordinance is suspended. Legal remedies are not possible. With the decision, the judges partially granted the urgent motion of a fitness studio operator.
The Senate assumes that the owners of fitness studios will be disadvantaged by the complete closure without this being objectively justified. The complete closure is not proportionate because individual sport should remain permissible according to the regulation.

Desperate families climbed onto roofs as Typhoon Vamco caused severe flooding in the Philippines on Thursday (November 12).
Footage shows the devastating scene in the Marikina area of Metro Manila where 6-foot-deep muddy torrents swamped tens of thousands of homes.
A Stranded resident said: "We had nowhere else to go so we climbed on our roofs. If we didn't do that, we would have drowned. It was so scary and most of us could not swim and we even had a baby with us."

The EU had just announced that it had finally reached a compromise in the negotiations on the budget for the next seven years. But now the Union is facing the next crucial test in the middle of the Corona crisis.
As already announced, Hungary actually seems to want to block the budget decision: According to information, the country announced at a meeting of the permanent representatives of the member states that it would not be able to approve the billion dollar financial package.
The reason is apparently that a new instrument to punish violations of the rule of law violates the agreements made by the heads of state and government in July. Should Hungary actually exercise its veto,

#NorthKorea #UN #IAEO #Pyongyang #AtomicBombs

After a recent report said the isolated nation's nuclear weapons arsenal was breaching international law, North Korea has accused the UN agency responsible for controlling atomic energy of being a puppet of hostile countries.
Since abandoning the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003, Pyongyang has steadily developed an atomic arsenal and has tested many nuclear bombs in the years since.
North Korea 's military has made rapid progress in its nuclear arms and ballistic missile programs since Kim Jong Un took over from his father as the country's supreme leader, and has been subjected to increasingly strict international sanctions as a result.

"Many places are under water. Many people are calling for help." The retired civil protection officer Rouel Santos describes the situation in the Philippine province of Rizal as dire.
Hundreds of people across the country had to seek refuge on their roofs due to severe flooding from Typhoon "Vamco". The tropical storm wreaked havoc when it pulled over the east of the main island of Luzon, on which the capital Manila is located,
with gusts of wind of more than 250 kilometers per hour. At least one person died and three more are missing, said civil defense. Thousands had been brought to safety before the storm hit. According to the civil defense, around 50,000 people were ordered to leave their homes.
