World shares edged higher on Wednesday as some markets wrapped up trading for 2020, anticipating a dose of fresh support for the U.S. economy and efforts to speed up coronavirus vaccinations to help curb the pandemic. Shares rose in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Tokyos benchmark fell back after surging to a 30-year high on Tuesday. Gains were modest after a lackluster day on Wall Street, as the boost from President Donald Trumps signing of a USD 900 billion coronavirus relief package faded. On Wednesday, Britain authorised use of a second COVID-19 vaccine, becoming the first country to greenlight an easy-to-handle shot that its developers hope will become the vaccine for the world.

Rudy Giuliani has once again lashed out at those who don t believe his claims about the 2020 election. This time, he has demanded evidence to prove that President Trump didn t win - despite President-elect Joe Biden reportedly garnering more votes than the sitting president. Several legal challenges made by Giuliani and others over claims of widespread voter fraud have been thrown out by judges. However, the former NYC mayor continues his efforts to prove that Trump actually won re-election, The Sun reported.
Joe Biden was declared the winner in the race to the White House, with more than 81 million people voting for the Delaware Democrat touted to be the most number of votes won by a presidential candidate in US history - whereas Trump reportedly secured 74 million votes.
