Go when a gunman stormed the maternity clinic and they started to indiscriminately start shooting mothers a newborn babies and up to today we still dont know who did it nobody has claimed responsibility and all these attacks are something that have been causing a lot of concern among afghans and why no afghan earlier actually told me we dont even know where to go in this country anymore we cant go to a school we cant go to a hospital we cant go to a mosque everything since its a target so somebody please tell us where can we go so we feel safe nastasya contra phoria there on the ground for us with all the latest from kabul thanks so much really. Well the race to the white house says now entering its final state with just one day left of campaigning before tuesdays fires now this long and often Bizarre Campaign has seen both donald trump and joe biden focus on battleground states some 19 men right as ive already cost the ballot some polls do indicate that biden has a lot nationwide but the race remains tight and crucial states and canada has the latest from miami. President donald trump began his campaign sprint of battleground states in chile michigan 4 years ago trump took this state breaking the democratic partys socalled blue wall in this nations industrial rust belt as election day approaches National Polls show hes trailing by tim. Thank you very much i love you too he told supporters he saved the states car industry that he could keep refugees away and continued his attacks on the former Vice President biden will pledge america and the world you one ridiculous war after about the united think shes a tough guy remember what he said a year ago id like to take her behind the bar you know what mom i didnt want to close i just thing hes got. In pennsylvania joe biden focused on taking back a state the president won by just over 44000 votes last election as part of a nationwide effort to mobilize the black vote he told people there is too much on the line to cities out communities of color have been hit particularly hard by the covert 900 pandemic the former Vice President says hell confront all forms of inequality were going to address systemic racism bill real Economic Opportunity of equality of the black community the providers have been taken off every worker people have say theyve say how bad things are. Trumps whistle stop tour saw him in iowa georgia and florida his message for voters didnt change it any of the rallies in North Carolina he once again said hell keep the economy open despite rising corona virus infections now by watching rule of very hard place nationwide shutdown it wont affect you because youre already shut down i dont know what that whats going on with your state are you ready to go without it i think so. More than 90000000. 00 voters have already cast their ballots but the u. S. Postal service is struggling to deliver money on time for us judges now issued an order for the service to take extraordinary measures to get ballots delivered if the processing of mail in ballots slows especially in battleground states it may lead to long legal battles in more than half the states including here in florida mail in ballots dont count if they arrive after election day the Postal Service says its employees know its all hands on deck but neither candidate nor voters want to see a delay in results and gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida well our correspondent joins me now for the latest from washington d. C. Allan less than 24 hours to polls i think both candidates i see taking the fight to pennsylvania talk us through their plans for the rest of the day. But as far as joe biden is concerned this personal for him he was born in pennsylvania he wants to win this state and it really is one of those key moments we could tip either way it certainly went for donald trump last time around joe biden thinks he can bring it back into the democratic fold and that would secure for him a clear road to the white house hes going to be in pittsburgh for 2 events on the day before the election. Will be in pennsylvania it sure is just how important that the democrats believe this state is what is interesting is that. Neither of the main candidates is going to be in florida on the day before the election i cant remember the last time that that happened and certainly the polls were giving dont trump a very narrow lead there so perhaps both sides thing is going to go for donald trump and when you look at the the voting numbers that might be the case although the arab league numbers gave the advantage to the democrats all the playing where do we get the best advantage where do we get more bang for a box donald trump is going to go to a number of states is going to end up in michigan is where he ended up his campaign in 2016 but theres been a lot of their cause of what happened in 2016 for donald trump continues to his democratic challenger he calls. Criminals says he should be locked up part of a crime family all echoes of similar attacks on Hillary Clinton in 26th even though being grand rapids in michigan for the final event the exact same place where he held this event in 2016 believing that helped tip the balance in michigan but all the polls there suggest that he has no closer than 7 points to joe biden who has a lead in this day so quite why you spending so much time there im not entirely sure but clearly donald trump believes that the old ones are good and if you speak to people in the campaign they say theyre in the same position they were 4 years ago and we know how that turned out when alan theres clearly a lot of tension even animosity heading into election day i see the government as well as everyday people are now taking security precautions how rare the people there really feel the threat of violence is after this fashion. Well there is a concern i think this fear of violence is perhaps too strong but there is a concern and people are concerned enough that businesses around the white house but not just their own the white house from some distance away from the white house have started to board up in case there is any violence after the result we know the National Guard to put 250 people on standby here there are barricades going up all around the white house watch wider than weve seen since the protests in the summer and theres a concern among people that if either side doesnt get the result that they want they will end up gathering here in front of the white house and that could provoke violence and saw that can say particularly after what weve seen with buses being challenged by cars on the roads in the huge roadblocks in other parts of the country theres a concern im sure people wouldnt want it to leak into fear but theyre worried theyre worried about what might happen after we hear the results coming through starting in on tuesday evening and well continue watching very closely for you here on out is there indeed alan fischer there for us in washington d.
