President donald trump at his rival joe biden are making their final pitches to voters on the last day of campaigning before the u. S. President ial election is a live picture as much from friday in fayetteville and North Carolina hes holding 5 rallies in key states for bidens holding 2 polls indicated by these could lead nationwide but the race appears to be tight in some crucial swing states a record 90000000 voters have already cast their ballots. We have correspondents across the United States closely following the president ial campaign kristen saloon is in pennsylvania for bidens going to be campaigning on the eve of the vote 1st lets speak to alan fischer hes live for us in washington d. C. Allan the hours are ticking away and both candidates seem determined to stay on message. Exactly and the message from donald trump is going to be that joe biden is dangerous and should not be elected and therefore you should stick with another 4 years of trump certainly is in North Carolina which is a state which hasnt often return president ial candidates barack obama. Hasnt returned democratic president ial candidates barack obama was the last one is in his 1st run for office before that youve got to go to the 1976 and jimmy carter when he won election so hes really talking to the faithful there and theyll be hoping that they will come out and make sure that North Carolina is actually Electoral College votes all go to the Trump Campaign hes also going to have a number of other places today hes going to hit pennsylvania is going to hit michigan michigan is an interesting choice one because its where he ended his campaign in 2016 and 2 because hes going to the exact same place he did the last time but if you look at all the polls in michigan he is behind the joe biden by at least 7 points there isnt a poll that puts some closer than that so there are those in the Trump Campaign who are wondering whether or not his superstition of ending this campaign where he ended the last could actually cost him votes because they think perhaps this time would be better spent elsewhere such as pennsylvania thats where joe biden is going to spend a huge chunk of today hes starting off in ohio and then moves to pennsylvania for joe biden pennsylvania its visceral its where he was born he wants to win that state but also he wants to win that state because theres a lot of Electoral College votes tied in pennsylvania and he believes that he could flip it from the donald trump stronghold it was the last time around and make it somewhere where the democrats can win so its all about the electoral math where do they get the votes where do they get the Electoral College votes which provides the best path to the white. Donald trump obviously thinks that its retracing the steps of 2016 joe biden thinks he can expand them up by going to ohio which is in republican state hes spending a lot of money in georgia which is a republican state and he suggests and people in this campaign suggest that that might just hip and of course the spending time in pennsylvania is sending barack obama to florida that will also still be a key state but all of this will become much clearer who had the best strategy who was the best candidate of the all becomes clear when the votes start to be counted so were 48 hours away from that under 24 hours no for almost all the polls in the United States will be open and the 2028 president ial election will really be underway and alan fisher talking to us from washington d. C. Allan thank you very much lets bring in christine suddenly shes joining us from donalds time in pennsylvania allan was just describing to us why pennsylvania is such a key state for both campaigns talk to us about the issues that the people of pennsylvania one discussed. Yes president and joe biden have been spending a lot of time in the state and will continue to do so right up to election day President Trump really has been focusing on the message that got him elected here in 2016 and that is the economy. Manufacturing jobs and in particular his unrestrictive support for the fossil fuel industry which is really important in pennsylvania to the economy here but the economy of course has suffered because of the coronavirus and joe biden has really been focusing on that issues with what he considers the mismanagement of the pandemic and hes also been reaching out to black voters in particular in this state a very important demographic for him and theres been in the last reka Fatal Shooting of a black man by a Police Officer that stirred up on rest in philadelphia the largest city in the state so both of the candidates touching on those issues that they see as their strengths trying to rally supporters to the polls and just take a look at the line here this is not even actually the voting ringback line and thats a President Trump supporter driving by with his flag waving this line is for people who requested mail in ballots but have had some issue with their mail in ballot either didnt arrive or i spoke to one man who said he got a call because he forgot to sign his ballot so people have been coming back waiting in this line for hours they tell me because they think its so important that that vote actually does get counted and donald trump won the state by less than a percent in 2016 he was lost in this county by less than a percent and it is shaping up to be just as close i should say that vice President Joe Biden does lead in the polls here as Hillary Clinton did back in 2016. The race has been tightening though and that is why both of these candidates are spending so much time here chris and thank you very much indeed chris and so they were talking to us from dalston in pennsylvania.

U. K. Prime minister abbas johnsons defended his decision to impose a National Lockdown in england to curb a spike in corona virus cases critics say johnson has been too slow to act johnson says he wasnt any slower than other European Countries i believe it was right to try every possible option to get this virus under control at a local level with strong local action and strong local leadership and i reject any suggestion that we are somehow slow in taking measures in our european friends and partners in fact were moving to National Measures when the rate both of deaths and infections for instance is lower than they were in france we are engaged as a country in a constant struggle to protect lives and livelihoods and we must balance the restrictions we introduce against the long term scars they leave whether for businesses and jobs physical and Mental Health all brennens added Oxford Street in london. Hes been spending at least a month criticising the labor leader. For advocating a National Lockdown while Boris Johnson has been adamant that his preference was for regional markdowns this tier system that the government had proposed and executed and now of course the data on the situation in britains hospitals has meant that the Prime Minister has had to go back on that and its left him open to criticism from the opposition parties from within his own party as well who very angry about the impact on the economy the reason why is illustrated here where i am in the center of Oxford Street now this is a major shopping street in the center of london there are Flagship Stores of furnishing sportswear fashion on thursday all of these will have to close cafes and restaurants will shut this place will become a ghost town the impact is enormous the 8 weeks leading up to christmas last year 42000000 people came down here to do their shopping on the revenue generators is about 3200000000 dollars this year the prediction is it will be around 9000000. 00 people if that and the generated generated revenue would be about 647000000. 00 you can see the impact in the 10s of thousands of temporary christmas jobs as well that are impacted by that too so the Prime Minister is in a very very awkward position in the debates he wants describes himself and his attitude to cake as being pro having it eating it and the reality when it comes to coronavirus is you can have the economy and the same time protect the n.

Protesting against rising violence in remote areas. Have been killed since the signing of 16. Reports. And message filled with rage and a call for help from once feared former. President. We didnt sign the peace deal to get killed these now demobilize fighters marched in downtown. Demanding protection and a future for their children. Were sad angry we feel impotent weve been losing our companions who signed the peace deal filled with a new sions and were seeing their dream and colombias dream shattered. They spent days traveling to the capital from provinces where violence has been on the rise and leading colombian Rights Group Says 236 former fighters have been murdered since they gave up their weapons in transformed into a legal Political Party in 2016. Residual rebel groups Paramilitary Forces and gangs are fighting for control of the lucrative drug trade in other illegal activities. Former fighters and many observers say the government of a critic of the peace deal isnt doing enough to end the violence and implement the accord. The colombian government has been unable and unwilling to take over these territories that our forces have abandoned and thats allowed new mafias to form they are a consequence of a mix of legal and illegal economic and political interests that are behind this violence the former fighters are demanding to discuss these issues rectally with the president. And will remain in the capital another 5 days. Of peace accord offered an opportunity for d. S. Fighters to enter civilian and political life and peace but the return of. Those hopes discarded i listen to them. Its been a challenging year for many in the United States and 2020 is also being called a year of political upheaval in america thats based on a model by 2 american sociologists which estimates how vulnerable a country is to a political crisis theyve proposed the past revolutions were triggered by the actions of the elite and the main factors were growing inequality shrinking opportunities for social economic mobility and a resistance to taxes all these factors are at play in the us needing the 2 to predict the rise of what they called a diverse and populous leader and a period of turbulence that prediction was before trump was elected the study also suggests the instability wont end this year in fact its likely to get worse it says nearly any outcome from tuesdays election is likely to generate even more instability one of those authors Jack Goldstone says many in america are now acting out of fear. In this century weve had protests by women seeking the vote in the 1st couple of decades weve had protests by minorities seeking civil rights but these did not pit 40 or 50 percent of america against the other half of america with such anger and hatred it was really about one group trying to catch up to the others at this point we have Something Different weve had record levels of economic inequality record levels of immigration and for the 1st time in American History some real obstacles and restrictions to economic and social mobility and were getting all of these at once at the same time that the government is deeply in debt and therefore is restricted in what its been able to provide for people so we have a situation where probably somewhere around 40 percent of americans have been acting out of anger and fear theyre fearful that america is losing the traditional character it had theyre anxious about immigration theyre anxious about economics and jobs theyre anxious about different groups coming to power i think thats only about 40 percent of america another 50 or 60 percent welcomes diversity believes immigration is good for america and wants america to be a globalized and global leading country but the 40 percent that is angry and frightened has helped put President Trump in power and they are extremely anxious that a Democratic Political victory would not just mean some small changes but would reinforce everything that they fear and this is why they are so angry and fighting against this kind of Democratic Victory that looks in sight but i think they will resist. This is all to say with these of the top stories President Donald Trump is holding a rally and fired
