  5. The Prince of Wales will urge nations to stand up against intolerance and strive for a "better tomorrow" during a remembrance ceremony in Germany. As post-Brexit trade talks continue, Prince Charles will also call on the UK and Germany to "reaffirm" their bond in a "new chapter in our long history". His wife, Camilla, has joined him on their first official overseas visit since the start of the Covid pandemic. They attended a wreath-laying ceremony at memorial in Berlin. During his speech to the Bundestag, the German parliament, later on Sunday afternoon the prince will say the global crises of the pandemic and climate change "demand" that the the UK and Germany "act together". Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were welcomed by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Budenbender on the steps of the Bellevue Palace in Berlin. The four then travelled to the Neue Wache Central Memorial, dedicated to victims of war and tyranny, where a wreath had been laid on behalf of the prince in front of a sculpture titled Mother With Her Dead Son. Prince Charles briefly touched the wreath before joining the president and four other German dignitaries in a silence as a trumpet solo echoed through the building. The message on the prince's poppy wreath read: "In everlasting remembrance of all victims of conflict and tyranny. Charles." Camilla then laid a posy featuring rosemary for remembrance and olive, white daisies and nerines for peace. A statement from Clarence House before the visit said: "The event pays tribute to the Allied commitment to the liberation from Nazi occupation and to the reconstruction, re-democratisation and subsequent reunification of Germany." 'Interests entwined' Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are the first members of the Royal Family to attend the ceremony at the German parliament in Berlin, marking the country's National Day of Mourning for victims of war. They flew to Berlin Brandenburg Airport on Saturday evening in the UK's ministerial RAF Voyager jet - the first time it has flown dignitaries since a makeover costing almost ÂŁ1m. The prince, who celebrated his 72nd birthday on Saturday, was presented with a birthday cake during the flight. The speech comes 75 years after the end of World War Two and will highlight the friendship between the UK and Germany. And it comes as post-Brexit trade talks are reaching their crucial final stages. The prince is expected to say: "We must be resolute in addressing acts of unspeakable cruelty against people for reasons of their religion, their race or their beliefs, wherever they occur in the world. "We must stand alongside each other in determined defence of the future we owe our children and our grandchildren." He will add: "We are heavily invested in each other's futures, such that our national interests, whilst distinct, will always be entwined... "Let us reflect on all that we have been through together, and all that we have learned. Let us remember all victims of war, tyranny and persecution; those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we cherish, and those who struggle for these freedoms to this day." The Royal Family have carried out a number of European visits since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016. During a tour of Germany in May last year, Prince Charles said the bonds between the UK and Germany "will, and must endure" post-Brexit. And when his son, the Duke of Cambridge, visited the country in 2016, William said the depth of Britain's friendship with Germany would not change after the UK left the EU. Ahead of his trip, the Prince Charles held a telephone meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

  6. Game Informations. Developers : LKA. Released : February 16, 2016. Genre : Adventure , horror . Mode : Single-player. Platforms : Microsoft Windows - PlayStation 4 - Xbox One - Nintendo Switch. It is perfectly clear, right from the pre-game warning screen, that this is a game that won’t be pulling any punches. The Town of Light tells the tragic tale of a teenage girl, Renée, suffering mental illness inside the walls of an early twentieth century Italian asylum, and while the characters are fictional, everything else is based on true events. An abandoned, decrepit mental hospital would make an ideal setting for a traditional horror game, but the fact that this title is based on a real location instantly ratchets up the atmosphere. The Town of Light is essentially a walking simulator in which you play as an older Renée revisiting Volterra in order to piece together the fragmented memories of her time as one of its patients. Most of the story is told through narration that gently guides your hand through the decaying hallways and wards, although you are allowed to explore to an extent. Doing so provides a little more context to the setting with a smattering of interactive items you can examine, such as old documentation describing a patient’s belongings at admission, or strange coins - the hospital’s very own currency. Scoping out each and every room within the building isn’t necessary, but really helps to flesh out the asylum and its dark history. There are also eight diary pages to collect as you play, usually slightly out of the way, and finding them pieces together some of Renée’s backstory. It’s clear that the developer wants you to soak in as much of the asylum as you can, and you should. From the bizarre graffiti that adorns the peeling walls to the bloodstained wireframe beds, the setting is a unique and powerful presence that is both deeply haunting and fascinating. Graphically it’s not the cleanest, and some lengthy loading times detract from the experience somewhat, but it’s hard not to be engrossed by the recreated hallways of a real derelict hospital. Of course, it’s through the main story that you’ll learn of Volterra’s darkest aspects. It should come as no surprise to learn that conditions during its operation were horrific; knowledge of mental illnesses in the early 1900s was rudimentary, nurses were overworked and cruel, and patients were living in overcrowded wards. Inhumane practices and awful mistreatment ensured the closure of Volterra in 1978, but until then, thousands of poor souls bore the brunt of it all. Renée’s narration makes up the majority of the storytelling, and it is sometimes accompanied by hand-drawn cut scenes that help to illustrate things as they were. Occasionally, you’ll also act as her inner self, selecting from a couple of options to help her piece together her story at certain moments. There are no alternative endings, but the three-hour story can divert during some chapters, encouraging multiple playthroughs if you want to see every narrative thread. Unfortunately, the story becomes confusing as it goes on, thanks to some wonky writing. The narration speaks about Renée as if she’s a totally different person, and while it seems like the story is purposefully abstract in places, it can be difficult to keep tabs on what’s real, or what actually happened. It’s a shame that the story strays into baffling territory, not helped by some surreal sequences that feel slightly out of place, as it does contain some truly harrowing and hard-to-watch moments. As we’ve said, it may be that the story was intended to be somewhat obscure and open to interpretation, but we feel that the writing could’ve done with another pass over to ensure that players are intrigued by the narrative rather than flummoxed by it. That said, The Town of Light comes as close as games dare to successfully tackling mature, delicate subject matter head on, and that its foundations are built on real events means it really drives its message home. System Requirements. MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS : Windows 7/8/10 64bit Processor : Intel Core i3 or equivalent AMD Memory : 4 GB RAM Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, AMD Radeon HD 6770 with at least 1 GB VRAM DirectX : Version 11 Storage : 8 GB available space Sound Card : DirectX Compatible Additional Notes : Supported Controllers: Xbox 360 or Xbox One compatible. --------------------- RECOMMENDED: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS : Windows 7/8/10 64bit Processor : Intel Core i5 or equivalent AMD Memory : 8 GB RAM Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560, AMD Radeon HD 7790 DirectX : Version 11 Storage : 8 GB available space Sound Card : DirectX Compatible The Town of Light is a powerful experience that highlights a fascinating, if chilling, chapter in human history. The heavy atmosphere is achieved through the very real setting of Volterra, and Renée’s unfortunate tale of life inside its walls that represents the woes of many real people. The story meanders a little too far into obscurity and can become confusing, and some long load times scupper things further. While you won’t necessarily have fun in the traditional sense, it’s worth playing if you’re at all interested, as it contains some striking sequences that will stay with you long after you finish.

  9. EU ministers say the bloc needs to adopt a law this year obliging internet firms to remove extremist propaganda within an hour of it being reported. The EU has been discussing such a regulation for more than a year, but the recent terror attacks in France and Austria have given it new urgency. Interior ministers said the text must be agreed soon with the EU Commission and European Parliament. They also urged more EU data-sharing and more systematic border checks. Both German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer and EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson called for an agreement by Christmas on the new "regulation on terrorist content online (TCO)". The ministers' joint statement called for a "rapid and effective instrument to counter terrorist content online within an hour or less of its being reported". The Austrian authorities have found intelligence lapses which allowed the Vienna gunman, identified as a dual Austrian-Macedonian national, to slip under the police radar - yet he had served a jail term for seeking to join jihadists in Syria. The gunman opened fire on 2 November on people relaxing in a po[CENSORED]r central district, killing four, before police shot him dead. The investigation has established that Kujtim Fejzulai, 20, had been released early from jail in December, had tried to buy ammunition in Slovakia in July, and had also met German and Swiss Islamists in Vienna that month. This week Austrian police raided more than 60 addresses allegedly linked to Islamist extremists and seized millions of euros of cash. Dozens of suspects are under investigation. Ms Johansson said another priority must be tighter controls on the EU's external borders, so that terror suspects could be tracked more systematically. Co-ordinating such checks between 27 member states has proven difficult, as most are in the passport-free Schengen zone where border checks are minimal. Ms Johansson said a study by the EU border force Frontex last year found that 22% of those entering the Schengen zone had not been recorded in the digital Schengen Information System. The ministers' statement said the EU's police forces must "do their utmost to prevent foreign terrorist fighters, many of whom have combat experience, from entering the Schengen area undetected". 'Not against religion' The statement also said "our fight against terrorism is not directed against any religious or political beliefs, but against fanatical and violent extremism". It came as France mourned the 130 people killed by jihadists in Paris in November 2015. French investigators have established that Brahim Aouissaoui, the Tunisian who fatally stabbed three people in a church in Nice last month, had only arrived in Europe in September. He was shot and wounded by police and is in hospital in the southern French city. He had reached Nice after first getting to Italy by boat. Investigators say they have found a picture on his phone of the Chechen man who beheaded a teacher near Paris two weeks earlier, AFP news agency reports. They also found pictures linked to the Islamic State group on his phone.

  14. Game Informations. Developers : Oasis Games. Released : Oct 17, 2017. Genre : Aaction, adventure. Platforms : Microsoft Windows - PlayStation 4. Monkey King: Hero Is Back is a love letter to simpler times. Mechanically, it wouldn’t feel out of place on the PlayStation 2, and graphically, it’s barely just a generation ahead of that. This is a simple experience at heart, but it’s one you’re bound to find some enjoyment in should you take to its rather repetitive tasks and charming yet annoying band of characters. Based on a Chinese film of the same name, you assume the role of Dasheng, a Monkey King who has been imprisoned for 500 years. Suddenly awakened by a young boy named Liuer, it’s your job to rid the world of the evil that has taken over during your slumber – one that is stealing children and attacking townsfolk in nearby villages. Pitched as a retelling of the movie in question along with new sub-plots and stories, this is the material’s first chance at gaining any traction in the Western market. In truth, this is very much a light-hearted tale for the most part, with a smattering of story beats to be found in the latter half. It’s certainly enjoyable enough to follow, but it's not the next great video game plot by any stretch of the imagination. Simplicity is the key to what makes Monkey King tick, with a set of 10 linear levels to work your way through that only just manage to stretch a playthrough past the five hour mark. It’s a third-person brawler more than anything else. Two basic light and heavy attacks deal damage, while an assortment of weapons can be picked up from the ground for a limited amount of time. Most of your time will be spent engaging in combat with the monsters you come across, but that’s no bad thing. It is indeed rather simple when compared to other titles in the genre, but there’s a degree of satisfaction to be gained out of just wailing on an enemy as you spam the square and triangle buttons. Without a stamina bar to worry about, it’s almost freeing to not have to worry about complex mechanics and move sets you’d need to write down to remember. It’s not going to satisfy those looking for something deeper, but it somewhat gets the job done with a satisfying weight to be found in each and every blow dealt. There are a few other things to consider when you come across one of the game’s monstrous foes, however: taking a stealthy approach can lead to surprise attacks that eliminate enemies in one hit, one-on-one confrontations occur as a result of a parry, and follow-ups deal huge damage after you’ve landed some blows. They never amount to much more than a button-mashing quick time event, but it’s at least another means of attack besides the simple three-hit combos. Magic is the other element that makes up combat, allowing you to unleash powerful hits in accordance with how full your mana bar is. From a deadly combo of hits that’s enough to knock even the toughest of enemies down to the ability to summon weapons for a limited time, there’s something that’ll aid almost any encounter. It’s not something you’ll want to build your entire damage output around, but they’re complementary bonuses that can get you out of a pickle. You'll always have some company during combat, although they never actually offer any assistance. The young Liuer and another companion take a backseat as soon as an enemy shows its face by literally screaming at the tops of their lungs, just to make sure you've noticed it. It's incredibly off-putting and annoying, to the point where they almost feel like different characters to the ones featured in cutscenes. To go from charming to frustrating in the space of a few minutes is quite the feat, but Liuer and friends manage to achieve it. Fighting makes up the majority of the experience, but the linear levels do give way to some hoarding and collecting. Numerous materials and plants are strewn about the place, and it’s these that are used to purchase healing items and consumable amulets that deal big damage. Meanwhile, the red orbs you collect from fallen enemies can be used to upgrade your range of magical abilities, while hidden Earth Gods are traded in for enhancements to your health, mana bar, and the effectiveness of combos. The two elements of combat and collecting work well for the most part, but it starts to fall apart as you make your way through the game’s final level. It ditches the general loop of the title for what is essentially a boss rush made up of the encounters you’ve already beaten. In putting a real strain on your healing resources, it quickly turns into a tedious slog that threatens to put a sour taste in your mouth upon the game’s conclusion. The boss fights are exactly the same and aren’t in the least bit enjoyable the second time around. Visually, the adventures of Dasheng aren’t exactly impressive. While there are some nice, varied environments to explore, none of them actually look particularly great – especially so this late in the PS4 generation. It’s not a title that belongs in the current generation presentation-wise, and you’ll notice that almost immediately. In contrast, the game runs well with a smooth, reliable frame rate that didn’t seem to dip whatsoever. One unfortunate bug caused us to fall through the world and have to restart our console in order to return to a previous checkpoint, but that’s the only glitch we came across. System Requirements. MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS : WINDOWS 7, 8, 8.1 (64-BIT REQ.) Processor : i3-3220 INTEL or AMD Equivalent Memory : 8 GB RAM Graphics : Nvidia GTX 660/GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon HD 7770 DirectX : Version 11 Storage : 20 GB available space --------------------- RECOMMENDED: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS : WINDOWS 10 (64-BIT REQ.)

Sure, it’s a little bit too short, the narrative isn’t particularly gripping, and it looks like an early PS3 game, but that all falls by the wayside in the heat of battle. Thanks to fun brawling mechanics, Monkey King: Hero Is Back does just enough to deserve your attention.

  16. Honda’s strategy regarding its po[CENSORED]r Accord has changed over the years, with one of the biggest moves coming for the 2018 model year when the company dropped both the coupe and the V-6 option for its mid-size model. Instead, it’s all turbo four-cylinder sedans now, plus a gas-electric hybrid version — which Honda views as a suitable option if you’d like something with power and efficiency. For the 2021 model year, Honda has given all the Accords a light refresh inside and out, hoping to keep consumer interest in the waning mid-size sedan class as strong as possible. I sampled the new Accord Hybrid for a brief spin through the Michigan countryside, which allowed me to see how it performs in some everyday driving duties. What Makes an Accord Hybrid? The Hybrid is a stand-alone variant of the Accord but isn’t a trim level itself, as it’s available in a number of different trim levels, like the non-hybrid. Specify a gas-only Accord and you can choose from LX, Sport, Sport SE, EX-L and Touring 2.0 trims for 2021. Pick a Hybrid and you can choose from the base Hybrid, Hybrid EX, Hybrid EX-L and Hybrid Touring, each with a commensurately increasing level of standard equipment. But unlike the gas-only Accord, the Hybrids all come with one powertrain only — a variation of the Honda Insight’s two-motor gas-electric hybrid powertrain. In the Accord, it combines a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with two electric motors — one sandwiched between the continuously variable automatic transmission and the engine, and one that acts as a powerful starter-generator. It makes a system-rated 212 horsepower and 232 pounds-feet of torque, but for 2021, Honda says it’s been tuned a little differently to boost low-end acceleration. It can operate as a full electric vehicle up to limited speeds and conditions, a combination gas-electric hybrid or as a primarily gasoline vehicle with an electric assist, depending on driving style and what mode the driver has selected. The Accord Hybrid is EPA-rated to get 48 mpg city, highway and combined in its base form, but that drops to 44/41/43 mpg city/highway/combined when you specify the Touring trim due to items like different tires and extra weight from more luxury equipment. My spin in a new Accord Hybrid Touring model was a brief one, only about 38 miles, so my efficiency results weren’t really statistically valid, but according to the trip computer, I achieved only 36 mpg. How Does It Feel? Of more importance was how it all felt and operated, given the adjustments Honda says it’s made to the Hybrid models to make them more driver-friendly and appealing. And the answer here is same as it ever was, really. The Accord Hybrid feels like a big, comfortable sedan, quiet and plush in its operation, and very hybrid-like in many of its details. What’s that mean, exactly? Well, despite Honda’s claim that the Accord Hybrid does 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds, outpacing all of its hybrid sedan rivals, acceleration feels much more relaxed than that. You have to really dig deep into the accelerator to get some rapid movement, and it’s accompanied by a hushed electric powertrain and a slightly less quiet four-cylinder drone that’s affected by the way the CVT works. The two-motor hybrid system blends the electric and gasoline powertrains seamlessly for smooth acceleration, and it’s definitely quieter and less frenetic than the last experience I had in a Honda Insight. The mid-size Accord uses a bigger engine than the compact Insight does, but it’s still noticeably different from how most conventional gasoline sedans feel. Deceleration is unusual in that while it has adjustable regenerative braking to recapture as much electricity as possible into the batteries, it seems that it resets every time you hit the brakes — so if you’re coming to a stop and you want more regen, you have to adjust it with the paddle shifters every time, as it automatically defaults to “very little.” Most electrified vehicles at least keep the regen level where you set it unless you switch drive modes or cycle the engine off and on, but the Accord Hybrid seems to do it a little differently, and not in a good way. Ride quality is acceptable with a smooth, controlled quality that makes the Accord Hybrid feel like a premium product. The big 19-inch wheels and low-profile tires of the Touring trim, new for 2021, do let more than a few bumps and road imperfections into the cabin — a lesser model with taller sidewall tires might be more relaxed and comfortable. It definitely feels happiest as a cruiser, not a back-roads dancer, as it’s tuned to be a bit soft. Switching the Accord Hybrid into Sport mode does not make for a sporting experience — the most notable change is to the accelerator response, which does get more aggressive, but the car itself just doesn’t feel sporty (thank the CVT and the Accord Hybrid’s weight for that), so leaving it in its normal modes of operation will leave everyone happier. The brakes have an admirably natural feel to them, unusual for most hybrid cars that also employ electric regen, and only in the last few feet when coming to a stop does the ugly traditional hybrid artificial brake feel manifest itself. I can live with that. Still Comfy and Classy Inside One area that Honda has been tops in for a while now has been in its interiors, and the latest Accord is still excellent in this regard. Top-quality materials abound: Everything feels and looks suitable to the Accord’s status atop the brand’s sedan lineup. There isn’t much new in the cabin for 2021, with Honda’s changes amounting more to expanding the 8-inch Display Audio multimedia system (that now features knobs) to all Accords as standard equipment, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The Hybrid EX and higher trims get standard wireless versions of these smartphone interfaces. Other minor interior changes include relocating the front USB ports for all Accords and adding a couple USB chargers for backseat passengers on higher trim levels of gas and hybrid models, making a rear seat reminder standard on all trims, and giving higher trims of both gas and hybrid Accords a low-speed braking control system. Honda is billing the new Accord Hybrid as something of a premium model, an upscale powertrain option that people might be interested in as an alternative to the more powerful Accord with the turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine. My Accord Hybrid Touring model had an as-tested price of $36,795 (all prices include destination), which seems to fit that idea. But I’m not sure I buy the idea of the Accord Hybrid as a premium piece, as the driving experience just isn’t as pleasant, entertaining or rewarding as the Accord Touring 2.0T. The Accord Hybrid might work better in less expensive lower trims, where the presumed benefit of its fuel economy combines with the value proposition from having a premium mid-size sedan with a comfortable cabin at a more affordable price. With a starting price of $28,280, it makes a bit more sense at the lower end of the spectrum.

  17. The US attorney general has allowed prosecutors to investigate alleged irregularities in the presidential election, prompting a senior justice department official to quit. William Barr said inquiries could only be into "apparently-credible" claims. Such investigations are normally the remit of individual states, but Mr Barr said this was not a hard and fast rule. Donald Trump refuses to accept Joe Biden's projected victory, and has made unsubstantiated fraud claims. The president's campaign is seeking an emergency injunction in Pennsylvania to prevent Mr Biden's victory being certified in the state. The president-elect's projected win there on Saturday took him over the threshold of 270 electoral college votes needed to secure victory nationwide. Mr Trump's spokeswoman vowed the legal battle to contest Mr Biden's victory was only just beginning. "This election is not over," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told a news conference. "Far from it." What is Mr Barr saying? The attorney general wrote that inquiries could be made by federal prosecutors "if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State". Mr Barr said prosecutors should only look into "substantial allegations" of irregularities, and that "specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims" should be ignored. He acknowledged that individual states had the primary responsibility for the conduct of elections but said the justice department had "an obligation to ensure that federal elections are conducted in such a way that the American people can have full confidence in their electoral process and their government". The department would normally only go beyond preliminary investigations after an election had been concluded and the results certified, but Mr Barr said this could result in situations where "misconduct cannot realistically be rectified". The justice department official who would have overseen such investigations, Richard Pilger, quit in response to Mr Barr's memo. "Having familiarised myself with the new policy and its ramifications... I must regretfully resign from my role," he wrote in an email to colleagues. Separately, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit on Monday in a Pennsylvania federal court, seeking an emergency injunction to stop state officials from certifying Mr Biden's victory in the state. The state's Attorney General Josh Shapiro called the lawsuit "meritless". Prosecutors in Republican-controlled states meanwhile threw their weight behind the president's challenge to the election results. The 10 state attorneys general filed a so-called amicus brief at the US Supreme Court backing the Trump campaign's case in Pennsylvania. What are Biden and Trump up to? Since media projected on Saturday that Mr Biden had won the critical state of Pennsylvania, accumulating enough votes to claim the White House, the president-elect has forged ahead with his plans to take the reins of the power. Mr Trump took to Twitter again on Monday to dispute the outcome, making unsubstantiated claims of "unthinkable and illegal" activity in the vote. The General Services Administration, which manages federal agencies, has held off on allowing Biden aides to formally begin the transition, saying no "ascertainment" on an election winner had yet been made. CBS News, the BBC's US partner, says the Biden team is considering its legal options if the Trump administration continues to stall the handover. White House reporters have been saying that despite his objections, Mr Trump is expected to leave office begrudgingly in January and is already talking about running for the White House again in 2024. What is the Trump campaign alleging? At Monday's news conference, Ms McEnany and Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel cited allegations of electoral corruption, while urging reporters to help investigate the unverified claims. Conservative channel Fox News cut away from the event, citing the lack of evidence. "Whoa, whoa, whoa," said presenter Neil Cavuto. "Unless she [Ms McEnany] has more details to back that up, I can't in good countenance continue to show you this." Ms McEnany told reporters: "We have only begun the process of obtaining an accurate, honest vote count." She said Republican poll watchers had not been granted adequate access to vote counts in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, both Republican and Democratic election monitors were kept from 13ft to 100ft (4m to 30m) away from tables where votes were being tallied in the city, and local election officials cited coronavirus prevention needs for the distancing. Ms McEnany also said election officials in that key state had allowed a disproportionate number of Democrats to correct, or "cure", inaccurately filled-out ballots. According to the Inquirer, some Pennsylvania counties allowed voters to amend such mistakes, while others did not. Ms McDaniel said they had collected 131 affidavits, or signed legal statements under oath, in Michigan as part of their investigation into alleged election irregularities. "If the shoe were on the other foot," she said, "if it were this close the other way, if President Trump was in the lead in all these states... the media would be screaming, 'This isn't over'." What about counts in the other states? Results in last Tuesday's presidential election from the states of Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina and Alaska are still outstanding. In Georgia, where the tally is continuing and Mr Biden leads, its secretary of state hit back on Monday at fellow Republicans who had criticised his handling of the election. Brad Raffensperger, whose office oversees Georgia's election, said: "Was there illegal voting? I am sure there was. And my office is investigating all of it. "Does it rise to the numbers or margin necessary to change the outcome to where President Trump is, given Georgia's electoral votes? That is unlikely." States must resolve recounts and court contests over the results by 8 December. The outcome will be finalised when members of the US Electoral College meet on 14 December. How are top Republicans reacting? Senior members of the president's party have largely refused to pressure Mr Trump to concede. Senate leader Mitch McConnell lashed Democrats on Monday over the matter. "Let's not have any lectures, no lectures," the Kentucky senator said on the floor of the upper chamber, "about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election and who insinuated that this one would be illegitimate too if they lost again - only if they lost." He added: "The president has every right to look into allegations and to request recounts under the law and notably the Constitution gives no role in this process to wealthy media corporations."
