As results of 2 out of the president ial election the opposition says that its time for the president to step down. We begin with one of the most divisive u. S. Elections in recent years donald trump and job i have less than 48 hours to make that final pitch to the American People and theyre doing it in several important battleground states President Trump is expected in michigan shortly he won that state by less than one percentage point in 2016 biden is hoping to win that state but he made his case when he went there on friday trump is expected to hold rallies in 5 different states on sunday well by will focus on pennsylvania another crucial states for the fall former Vice President our correspondents are closely following the campaigns alan fischer is in washington d. C. But 1st lets speak with. Hendra is in michigan where President Trump as usual arrives to address his supporters john why is michigan so important to both the president and his challenger. Michigan is one of those midwestern swing states that donald trump managed to let that were leaning democratic before the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton and then one state amp or another for drama there was until maine yet michigan wisconsin and we also want to know why oh wait he was slightly expecting to win at a nearly one minnesota which has been a solidly Democratic State for many years but here in michigan. Its a bit trickier literally divisive year right now because of the current outbreak theyre going through a nasty 2nd wave of that outbreak in the governor bredesen whitmer a democrat has cracked down while he refuses to let people even go to their own to make it you know in michigan and that might end up im like here donald trump has banned the flame mill you dont want to wear masks and dont want to be on lockdown and it got so bad that a group of 13 militia members were actually arrested for trying to. Put the governor on trial donald trump continues to say as i expect him to say today you need to get your governor to open up your state when that happens here in michigan the crowd at these trump rallies keeps chanting lock her up and the reason maybe hes coming here to mccollum county is thats the kind of need that he really needs to win across the country. Sent him over trump cities tend to vote for the democrat anything here in these suburban areas were many of these races are really won last time he won this county by 11 Percentage Points he needs to do that again if joe biden can deny him this the. Tribe is going to have to look for other states that he can win and he and joe biden and barack obama were here just one day ago they went with they had Stevie Wonder singing with them and. They are going for the urban vote of trying to drive out the black vote in detroit in the lead and that battle is going on across the country but you can tell that where these candidates are right now tells you something about where their priorities are and where they think they can drive out the vote for donald trump but even like this mccomb county michigan. From washington michigan to john headroom to go to washington d. C. In a marathon final push for the president about his challenger focusing today on just one state. Exactly and one city hes in pennsylvania and he will be in philadelphia for 2 events there its versatile for joe biden when he talks about pennsylvania thats where he was born he feels its part of him he talks about his pennsylvania upbringing a great deal and so he would dearly like to flip a state that went to donald trump in 2016 it would also be a significant block in getting to 270 Electoral College votes what is interesting is that his Vice President ial candidate coming to harness is going to be in georgia no georgia isnt normally in play but it shows that his campaign has expanded the battlefield slightly and youll remember that there was a very contentious governor rice dont in georgia a couple of years ago well that led to a number of democrats pushing forward with Registration Campaign and they think they think that might just be enough to tip this state democratic and so theyre going to put a lot of effort the over the next couple of days now theres a poll thats just been out in the campaigns will tell you we dont look at the polls they do they look at them very closely and they tried to set them to see where they can make gains where their weaknesses are but this poor from the n. B. C. In the wall street journal says that in 12 battleground States Joe Biden is up by about 6 points that will be good news for the democrats theyll be very pleased with that theyre also looking at a National Lead of somewhere in the region of 10 points but as we nor polls our votes and theyve been wrong before so the democrats will be hammering the message over the next 48 hours thanks if you voted already but please if you havent get out and vote if you want to be donald trump thats what we need you to do so expect to hear that message from joe biden in pennsylvania over the next few hours and just 48 hours after the election theres been an altercation between White House Task force the doctor and they found she and the administration tell us more about. Well we know there have been tensions bubbling there for a few months we know that donald trump and even said he would fire but he felt that the backlash would be too great we knew anthony foti is one of the most trusted man in america he gave an interview to the Washington Post over the weekend where he said that the United States is not in a good place weve seen more than 100000 covert cases in the last few days theres a new Stanford Report which says that Donald Trumps Campaign Events have led to a spike in cases in those areas and perhaps even been linked to 700. 00 deaths he says that the Biden Campaign is approaching the idea of dealing with color from a Public Health point of view but the Trump Campaign is looking at it from an economic and reopening the country point of view didnt judge the merits of either of those just stated it is fact but thats enough for the white house to get very angry the accused and to the photo being part of the swarm saying that hes showing his politics just a couple of days before the election saying that he did plenty of chances in the taskforce to say that he was concerned about certain things to hear his views there to give his views to the president and so they are very very angry with anthony foti until he told the Washington Post they hadnt spoken to donald trump since the beginning of october but in the next 48 hours the people of america will be able to go to the polls and decide who they want to take the next step in the corporate crisis whether its joe biden or whether its donald trump on sirius alan fischer reporting live from washington many thanks indeed President Trump continues to draw fierce criticism for his response to the pandemic but in florida his record on the Health Crisis could be especially crucial the Elderly Population that has been hit hard along with minority communities and businesses as aljazeera Sandy Gallacher reports from larry. The Sunshine State is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth as election day approaches its become clear that of all the swing states florida is the one that matters most to both joe biden and donald trump the candidates in the surrogates have crisscrossed the state in a blitz of campaigning there reflects florida status as the biggest battleground arena its also a state thats been ravaged by qubit 19 with more than 16000 deaths and cases once again on the rise states governor a close ally of the president has refused to initiate a lockdown and trumps doubling down on his opinion that the economy comes 1st we live there im scared. And now were open for business and thats what. And thats what this explosive Economic Growth is 4 times greater than to what the experts expect that floridas large Elderly Population has been hit hard accounting for more than 40 percent of all faith teletubbies President Trump did well with older voters here in 2016 political experts say thats changed but i think seeing the way the Trucking Industry has handled this pandemic has condensed a large number of senior voters that they need to see a change need somebody else need to see somebody else in charge of this pandemic somebody whos more inclined to take it seriously actually try to bring this country safely through it so they can see the grandkids again communities of color in florida have also been disproportionately hit by the virus Underlying Health conditions limited access to health care and poverty of all made things worse why voters helped propel the president to a narrow victory in florida 4 years ago he also needs as many votes as possible from hispanics and africanamericans though supporting the former Vice President so hes more trustworthy he had nonracist he always thought. About everyone he doesnt separate brought from y. And all their proposals that he have proposed and we believe him he tells the truth and if you make a mistake. And that we support women over here something a story for nothing with all the lies that you dont like other states early voting in florida has seen record turnouts with the pandemic a big issue on voters minds everything about the pandemic joining this election cycle has been politicized from the whirring of masks to the balance between keeping the economy going and the dangers of a deadly virus whether that translates to a victory for either candidate remains to be seen but here every vote counts and the optics between these 2 campaigns couldnt be more different and electorate polarized by the handling of the pandemic hasnt given either candidate a commanding lead in florida but theres no question that its one of the dominant issues one that will play a major role in deciding who wins the president ial election and it gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida at least 7 people died when typhoon gurney hit the philippines across the coast with winds of up to 280 kilometers an hour it was a super typhoon but its now weakened officer as john Allen Dougherty reports from manila.
