President Trump campaigns in Georgia for Senate runoff elections

BBC World Service - Weekend, President Trump campaigns in Georgia for Senate runoff elections

Mr Trump urges supporters to vote and rails against election result

Mr Trump urges supporters to vote and rails against election result which he falsely said was fraudulent.

President Trump has been speaking at a campaign rally in Georgia to garner support for two Republican Senators up for election in January. He also levelled criticism at Republican state officials and made further unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the elections. Also: the Afghan government and the Taliban have reached a framework agreement during negotiations in Qatar; and as most of Europe’s ski resorts remain closed, Switzerland’s are open for business. 

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Sanam Anderlini the Director of the Centre for Women, Peace and Security at the London School of Economics and the journalist and documentary-maker, Seyi Rhodes.
