Finished. But President Trump didnt wait already claiming victory before votes were counted. Think we were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this election. This is a major fraud in our nation we want the law to be used in a proper manner so well be going to the u. S. Supreme court trump was referring to mailing votes to be accepted after election day in several states but the system is fully legal and its used by tens of millions of people. This election is expected to have one of the highest noting turnouts in recent history even during a pandemic indicating just how important she states mood was for the american people. I voted for the greatest president in history gone ok throw chump is doing nothing for us now that hes going to have very thing more in the country than what. China does but it looks like the situation will not be on. The control of that suit as president comes a statement through stick country in a state of uncertainty many in the u. S. Bracing for a political storm. Lets go straight to washington then for the latest from sumi so miscounted a welcome sumi where things stand at the moment. Feel this is a real nail biter 6 states are still officially too close to call ill repeat them were going to repeat them every hour Going Forward here pennsylvania wisconsin michigan also georgia arizona and nevada and they are still counting and some of these states the numbers are changing a little by little as vote counting is wrapping up for example in some both states like wisconsin but we do really have to wait for official word on the winner there i mean these are battleground states a lot of experts predicted they would end up being tight races so the fact that we dont have a clear winner right now thats not shocking but despite the situation still being very much in flux former Vice President joe bidens campaign has been has been expressing confidence that his Campaign ManagerJennifer Omalley dillon spoke to the media earlier saying she believes that joe biden is on track to win and that he has a clear path to victory this is what she said you know we expect as i said to see over the course of today as more michigan comes and has more georgia comes and these races in these states be finalized we think most of them will close to be being able to be called though we do know as i said with pennsylvania that could take time into tomorrow but if we carry the states that were leading today that we talked about we would get 6070 without pennsylvania but as you mentioned pennsylvania result possibly tomorrow see when are we likely to have a final idea of what the Electoral College tally is. Yes well what we are getting closer as i mentioned counting is wrapping up in some states like michigan like wisconsin possibly pennsylvania and i know everyone around the world and here in the u. S. Are were all very anxious to get a definitive result but it could still be hours days even weeks still we have to also keep in mind that states actually dont have to submit their final tally socalled definitive witter until december 8th that is the deadline the cutoff date thats a month from now President Trump is criticized a lengthy process he thinks a winner should be declared right away but we should say that to constitution does technically allow for that time its part of the process so we could see that result through the course of today or the coming days or this week of voting is wrapped up but its too soon to say film but if the result does go against donald trump and all sorts of legal challenges where he says. Well the president s Campaign Manager bill stepien hes been speaking to media here today as well and he reinforced the president s message that the campaign would forge ahead with legal efforts to make sure that legally cast votes are counted not illegally cast votes but this claim from the president that he would take this to the Supreme Court while these are legally cast ballots were talking about it is not clear that the president would have any grounds on which he could challenge these ballots that being said we could see disputes in some of these key battleground states like pennsylvania and wisconsin where there have been a Record Number of mail and ballots we could see disputes over how those ballots are counted and when so well just have to wait and see how the coming hours play out and whether it does indeed lead to a legal dispute the figure that seems to me so its going to washington. Well here in europe leaders have been reluctant to say much about the election until they know what sort of administration theyre going to be dealing with in washington over the next 4 years a Biden Victory might perhaps be the preferred outcome here in europe but most governments are saying only that they have faith in american democracy as if he said that of course its difficult to predict what the final result will be no one should climb victory when theres no data to support that Everyone Needs to be patient or even very patient because this wont be clear in a matter of hours counting will continue all die for the. German government has confidence in the Us Democratic traditions and its institutions which are based on the rule of law. What we can say counting continues. And so is the french government spokesman i can repeat what i said yesterday france will of course work with whoever is elected us president one you dont im sure will be tense and. A lot of biting finger nails depending on which side you are in the u. S. But well wait for the definitive result and we have full faith in the american system to produce one it may take days well but it has been a difficult 4 years for relations between europe and the white house so where is it likely to head now i didnt use Brussels Bureau chief alexandra farm naaman was based in washington until just a few months ago and joins us now welcome alexandra so what would a 2nd term for donald trump mean for relations between europe and the United States. It could be a potential disaster many here feel or they fear that donald trump could feel freer and more empowered to pursue his every whim in global 1st and there are so many issues at stake lets take Climate Change the European Union needs to work with the United States to tackle Climate Change thats not likely to happen donald trump wins that stake trade trade issues the europeans are very eager to resolve dont know its trump has strengthened mess of sanctions on the mess of tariffs on european cars and of our goods and lets take nato donald trump has repeatedly questioned the american commitment to the alliance and that was corrosive to the Underlying Trust among l. Lies and many here fear that he could decide to leave the lions if he gets reelected and so would have biden presidency necessarily be better for your well we have to say that you leaders are not naive they know that there are many problems that they would disappear overnight if joe biden gets elected but they want to see someone in the white house who is more predictable who Cherish International organisations and dialogue who appreciates long held alliances and thats why they would hope for a change of the tone if joe biden gets elected. Governments around the world wait for the results of this election here in germany people policymakers have been giving birth views on events unfolding across the atlantic. All these u. S. Citizens sent in their ballots by mail ballots that donald trump alleges were fraudulent in many cases to democrats abroad gathered in front of the u. S. Embassy in berlin to protest against the latest from the u. S. President today we are here because we believe that the votes must be counted the votes to come in and many were postmarked only it is not illegal to count them after the election i find it absolutely abhorrent what hes saying this kind of language is large to be tolerated thing credibly does the pointing that from the president of the United States for the sitting president democratically elected sitting president who himself voted by mail to say that voting by mail is a fraud. I mean well if it the pattern of behavior that donald trump with in his own reality it is true that donald trump has certainly voted by man in the past as long as the official results of the election remain unknown to German Government will not formally comment on the outcome but individual politicians have reacted to transfer of claims and premature announcement of victory. We should all insist that democratic elections are allowed to be completed that means only over when all votes have been counted every citizen must have the chance to influence to result was to only vote so getting tight declaring yourself to win at this stage is something i consider your responsibility extremely problematic. We are concerned about the situation in the usa we hope that there are no riots and. No problems with. Regard to the security. But we are also very keen on fostering the ties between our 2 governments here in the capital belin opinions are divided on the outcome of the election. It will be this is really i think donald trump is the right president for the United States its a little. While its not finished until all the ballots are counted. I think it trying to clarion himself the winner in such a close race is a bit strange to put it mildly. Its not clear when the results will be finalized but in the meantime all eyes here in germany are in washington. This is d. W. News life from brother and his reminder the top story the results of the u. S. President ial election is still playing president s trump claimed victory on the ledge the 1st of for all of even though votes are still being counted on just by presenting the evidence democrat challenger joe biden says its not for republicans or democrats to call victory but for the america theme the number of swing states that will decide the election are still counting down to the office. Of next year on the w. July a look at general doing well well have Market Reaction to the election of a potential economic comeback implications ill be back at the top of the top into. The fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. Information and context the coronavirus update coming 19 specials. On t w. I was issued when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room and. It was hard i was for there. I even got white hair. Learning the language not off this gets me a little but you need to instruct lets say you want to know their story. Its worth fighting for reliable information for margaret. Their Natural Habitats keep shrinking as we chop down more forests and despite the threat of extinction they often end up on our dinner plates the rarer the better for some the higher the price of approaches. But dining on endangered species can cost you a health. Zoonotic diseases aids ebola and then you corona virus they all jumped from wild animals to us. And theyll do it again. Of a 19 broke out at a wild animal market in china they were International Calls for the closure of such markets but experts warn a bad could drive the trade underground on its changing its hygiene ill talk to an expert about that in a moment 1st some background. On what ours zoonotic diseases their diseases caused by pathogens carried by nonhuman animals that spread to people 6 out of every 10 Infectious Diseases are believed to be zoo are not. The pathogens can be iriss bacteria parasites or funky. Many of the diseases they cause in people are mild but some are serious and even deadly. The bubonic plague tuberculosis malaria and ebola are zoonotic diseases that have killed countless millions of people. Mosquitoes and bats but also cats and dogs and many other species carry pathogens that can make people sick but often they dont make the animals that host them sick. Transmission can occur via a bite or through eating the flesh of a carrier or contact with its blood or feces. Zoonotic diseases can spread fast and far if the pathogens adapt to be transmitted from person to person thats the case with the Novel Coronavirus. One hypothesis is that penguins were the intermediaries that transported the Novel Coronavirus from its natural host bats to humans when markets where a lot of wild animals are sold are considered a potential site of transmission of zoonotic disease pathogens some have been closed for that reason. Infectious diseases from animals are a growing problem that probably has to do with humans encroaching on animal habitats forests are cleared for timber or to make space for farms or towns humans and animal species are no longer far apart this offers opportunities for pathogens to make believe. There are more than 200. 00 known zoonotic diseases but there are countless germs out there to which humans have no immunity are new devastating diseases lurking to prevent them making the jump to humans we need to protect wild animals and their habitats. Colas how to louis is deputy head of the institute of epidemiology at germanys played place enough the institute also a veterinary epidemiologist just how dangerous the odds are were not at diseases. Well you never did get these are sort of in in our human nature already for many many years of many centuries because you know to diseases as i. Have or to the church am humans anything in a models and interesting part is that there are 60 percent of all human Infectious Diseases they reach in age from animals they come from animals and over the last few years with newly emerging diseases its actually 75 things are all there you look at consented thats quite a lot of pressure not so another has a chance to challenge the champ between animals and humans and that is not surprising because the area humans get out of the Animal Kingdom so therefore all that has a chance to challenge the virus theyre tearing out and so on they they dont distinguish between animals and humans and theres no question barrier between animals and so is your noses are really never actually to most of the diseases that she had and a lot of this will noses like really nothing dark sunspot got to go on up there then dad lot of other places where there is this which we have already complex and men have to take measures against like rabies or to look in arms is those in there was this all i was telling them i was its all those diseases were around there all this that was at the one switch which. In the match 2 years they do it through was fine and she will begin to see him be evil and they all originated from animals so what are you saying where are we now sharing a lot more of those diseases with the Animal Kingdom. Yes you all this she had a lot of inner office. And now our reason is here more would it be believe all. This is because 1st of all the other war you werent eloquent take to the animals its much more you also go into the pain it craves to habitats be overly heated before they can detect it the animals are wild and whatever so so are our politics possibilities between animals and humans they have a match has been dave and he has gathered in addition to also have the trade and our travels through all of the of the can travel there to be like oh no we dont like the other day that it was in one day and all different it messes so they are hard to kind of take cause ability is much higher and it was ever before so what do we need to do what we need to do to prevent those who would know say i think the you know there is a living there its almost as if im going to have to and as you say have to try to prevent them and i think one she mesh really did she know that i messed up so were the whole interval baby because. I was a curiosity but its a replies to you really have to. Know that they dont have such direct contact or close to take i specially is he said if there was had missed depo episodes why did order just make her problems chile theres a lot more we need to do to be proactive before these diseases jump from animal to human though whats the solution on that front theres a mean less factory farming does that mean chopping down list jungles and forests. Well i could mean that all of this is needed. Less and less for us but it also could mean being whoa what theyre up to can bring in this instance then become the you know the best of europe. They need help from other ecosystems theyve been might bring in viruses. That might have or at present just the of manliness and sort of like treating ourselves up to its like being in pain just sort of like our candy you can keep a t. V. Fresh the farm and you can try. If possible to be more sustainable want to go see areas. Where its exotic and so on but surely there are more proactive measures that we can take i mean what do you tell someone who who needs to venture out who needs to eat bushmeat. Basically to survive someone in a democratic republic of congo say in a small village who doesnt see the danger in catching as there were no seats. They might not see the danger of that its still a metaphor for the other there is one possibility death you cant make them o. B. L. Is the one that you and they are high achieving missions which they can take just to prevent those who would know this is going on what form animals to humans so in terms of interactive you can try to raise a ban on this if you can also and then thats what science and politics of trying to look is trying to find out what wireless is. In the bush meat in town and water why resist the density as a threat to as lake water and so part of this is also one Health Principle we have the hells animals humans and the environment is sort of looked at politico and i think thats the way to go in your future to see what what is the hells and how do they interact with each other and i see desolate and holes where we need. Some solutions their phone call is out to louis deputy head of the institute of it give me all a g. And germanys nothing institute thank you. Now its your turn to ask the questions is there. Will other countries do their own challenge trials now that the u. K. Has announced its doing so. Challenge trials involve intentionally infecting organisms with a pathogen to find out how well vaccines or medications work at stopping that happen there are thousands track method for determining safety and efficacy and we conduct them all the time usually on animals especially primates but in ethical terms schuman challenge studies like the one proposed in britain can be pretty charged if the plans are approved starting this january researchers there will be going to liberally infecting Young Healthy volunteers with sars cove to initially to find out how much of the pathogen it takes to make them sick once the scientists have determined that they can begin giving other volunteers that scenes then subsequently challenging their immune system with that preset dose of corona virus to see how effective the vaccines are doing things this way can provide precise data quickly so it can really speed up the Development Process thats because instead of just giving a late stage vaccine candidate to thousands of volunteers and a placebo to thousands of others and then basically waiting to see what happens researchers have a lot more control over the entire process but they dont have control in one key area because we still dont have surefire therapies to treat someone if an induced covert 19 infection turns severe the possibility that a human challenge trial could cause of volunteer long term damage or even kill them that cant be ruled out despite those risks britain is apparently not the only country. To consider conducting human challenge trials according to the science journal nature at least some exploratory planning has commenced in belgium and the us as well. With more on the corona virus go to our website w dot com slash of 90. 6 theyre upset for spectacular pictures. Its their passion for nature at. Least their complete devotion that makes them want to my for tucker 1st in the world. First meeting them to politics confrontational and story. 5 adventures. One goal. The preservation of our planet. Its not just an issue of parting trees and saving pandas anymore. Its us that still in danger of surat awesome. Passion for china starts november 6th on g. W. I want to see whats going on in the knowledge of the emergence of that you know what you have to go to fight it. The sharp microscope that have been but the knowledge there would come better and better and better over the years we will understand how for example all of the stuff i would in fact. Molecular did though and therefore a lot of a lot of the fight much more easily work to speculate about whats going on but the 50 i cant imagine that you would add to that the cause of got much better and then to do with the number of cant locate it there is the opportunity to live a much more fulfilling life because. Many diseases shortcomings called the faith can be counteracted to get people but they are for a lot of good in the life. This is the the good news africa coming up on the Program Reports of heavy fighting in the field yeah im surprised intensions if you feel the Prime Minister abi house or the military to take control of the countries to agree speaks after on tommy beans was allegedly attacked. Then they are glad they left americans who moved to the continental one
