The tallying a vote still ongoing as you can see trump is threatening to go to the Supremes Court to stop the counting biden says every voters must be respected. And another news ethiopias Prime Minister declared a state of emergency in 2 in the tikrit region following a deadly attack on a military base. We begin in the United States where americans are waking up to uncertainty about who is going to be the next president the race to the white house is still far too close to call vote counting in wisconsin has continued into the night thats where were expecting results from next while and other states counting is just resuming these are live pictures from philadelphia and pennsylvania a key battleground state that still also does not have clear results now despite an incredibly tight race and no candidate receiving enough votes to claim victory both have appeared confident donald trump is threatening to go to the Supremes Court something that bidens team have said they are ready to challenge well thats introduce you to reporters for this hour. Is on the ground for us in bidens home state that. And alan fisheye is in washington d. C. For us but fast rather in jordan takes a look back at how this night unfolded. Shortly after 2 am on wednesday President Donald Trump told his supporters and the nation that democrats were trying to steal his election day victory and trump said he was suing to hold on to the oval office so will be going to the u. S. Supreme court we want all voting to stand but with the vote count still unfinished in at least 10 states trumps claim a victory was dubious earlier in the night trumps democratic rival joe biden urged his supporters to as he put it keep the faith i heard terry or night we believe were on track to win this election. We mirror because today on pressure down early voting a mail in vote is going to take a while were going to have to be patient until way on the hard work of tally of votes is finished its long been Standard Practice in u. S. Elections to count all the ballots no matter how many days it takes this year the delay is considerable given the more than 100000000 ballots being cast weeks ahead of time as well as the millions of votes cast on election day swing states such as michigan and georgia announced late on tuesday that they would resume counting on wednesday morning and at least one swing state pennsylvania said it might not be done until friday that states governor pushed back against President Donald Trumps accusations that counting ballots after election day is illegal we may not know the results today as a result but i encourage all of us to take a deep breath and as ive been saying just be patient whats most important that we is that we have accurate results and it. Every vote is counted even if it takes a little longer but news organizations had biden ahead with more than 200. 00 Electoral College votes but the winning candidate needs 270. 00 to be declared the winner that likely wont happen before wednesday at the earliest roselyn jordan aljazeera my honey come off and ran has a breakdown of all of them on the sofa this is the state of the race 238. 00 to joe biden 213. 00 to donald trump its very tight its very close and even though clearly joe biden has a lead and is closer to 70 than his rival there are parts for both candidates at this point because there are 5 states left and were going to run you through them all too close to call at this stage 10 Electoral College votes in wisconsin part of the socalled blue belts of course which donald trump picked up 4 years ago that includes pennsylvania 20 Electoral College votes which would be vital for either candidate to pick up the presidency at the end of well whichever date ends up being were also looking at michigan in that part of the country with its 16 Electoral College votes completing the blue belt there important probably more for joe biden at this stage than it is for donald trump there are 2 other states to think about and that is North Carolina with 15 Electoral College votes and also the state of georgia. With that 16 votes Southern States donald trump would be eyeing those ones up to try to get him over the line with some extra pick ups along the way that might include nevada with 6 Electoral College votes which we would expect to go blue but then you can always expect the unexpected county so a final look at the state of the race 2382213 those states in yellow the ones that are left the swing states the battleground states the states which will ultimately decide this 2020 alexion well thats now speak to our correspondent allen fresh out hes in washington d. C. So by my count its 9 am there are still no results which we always knew was possible if not likely also nobody wave that Many Democrats were hoping for still a number of paths to a Biden Victory despite President Trumps claims. Theres going to be a lot of questions about the polling after this election is the wars in 2016 and theres going to be Lessons Learned by the Democratic Party not least one of the questions that will be asked is where did all d the money go they raised millions and millions of dollars and raised money particularly from florida and didnt seem to do very well the atoll youre right joe biden still has a very clear path to the 270 Electoral College votes he needs i think democrats went to bed on tuesday night they were probably a bit depressed at the state of the race when they woke up this morning theyre probably not feeling great about it either but speaking to people in the biden camp they are very comfortable with where joe biden is at the moment they think theyre going to win wisconsin and by extension they think that means a win in michigan certainly we know that theyre starting to carry the absentee ballots the mail in votes at the moment in michigan were talking about hundreds of thousands according to the state secretary of state and most of them come from democratic areas and thats not to say that they will all go democratic but it certainly gives the biden camp the hope that it could be enough if youre in nevada which they think theyre going to win as well you have got our zone are already in the bank. Wisconsin michigan 270 thats the bowl game certainly we know that donald trump when he came out and said that he had won the election that was incredibly premature that has been attacked by a number of people when he says hes going to the Supreme Court not exactly clear how hes going to do that 1st of all you dont just go to straight to the Supreme Court youve got to reason that action and lower courts and if youre unsuccessful there then you can try to appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court and in the end the Supreme Court has got to decide whether or not it wants to take that case on it is by no means guaranteed even though we know that donald trump has been talking for weeks about possibly challenging any result which doesnt give him a victory in the courts. And we also know that he was very keen to make sure there were 9 Supreme Court justices which is why just over a week ago yes it was just over a week ago that in push the equally ballots nomination through got on to the Supreme Court to give a conservative majority of our own 63 so there will be those who say that the republicans should criticize donald trump for what he said but they have been paying attention over the last 14 hours if youre seeing that donald trump has done better than many people expected this is a president who presided over a pandemic which just killed more than 220000 americans is in the Unemployment Rate rocket in the last few months because of the pandemic as well has been accused of being racist has been accused of being sexist and yet there are a number of people who came out and vote and decided that they wanted 4 more years of donald trump and so theyre not going to be many republicans who are going to step away from trump ism at the moment because they think their political futures are tied to him so weve an interesting few hours ahead of us we should get that result from wisconsin sometime soon for that with michigan we could be looking at celebrations in the biden camp before the end of the evening but of course thats all presuming that those results go the democrats way if one of those fail then donald trump could well when a 2nd term in the white house and as youre saying and time for us all to take a big deep breath thanks so much talent passion there in washington d. C. Lets now get the view from delaware bidens home state now. And therefore as jamal what are you hearing from the Biden Campaign and response to what president has been saying. Well and the stars or their message has been consistent throughout that every vote must be counted that this is the democratic rights of every american and any attempt particularly the comments coming out from President Trump to take away thats right is outrageous as a statement of put out by the head of the campaign described it a few hours ago they are confident that there is a path towards victory we heard the comments made by then when he was addressing his stuff on the stage behind me late last night where he said he was confident they were on course obviously fell short of declaring himself a victor and wouldnt be seen doing that until those election all those votes are counted what significance here in particular from the democrats perspective is that when were looking at those 3 key states that were waiting for the results to come out from so what were looking. At particularly michigan for example youll see that they believe the wind is in their favor number one because the counts the votes that havent been counted yet are from areas that are predominantly or traditionally rather democrats leaning like detroit number 2 because the more left leaning candidates in congress who stood in those places the squad as they were called particularly when were looking. Or. In minnesota have won their seats and therefore that would give an indication that they were the majority there and was talking just now about wisconsin wisconsins Election Committee just tweeted out this week saying that wisconsins counting and reporting unofficial results has gone according to the law its as simple and county clerks of work tires leave throughout the night to make sure everybody gets is counted and reported accurately and i think thats a statement coming from officials they are to dismiss the claims that have come particular from the trump scam that there is some sort of vulture fraud taking place that there is some. Sort of irregularities and this is something that the democrats believe has been a kind of electioneering tool that trump was using beforehand and that was smokescreen to detract from the fact that they believe they are on course to make him a one term president. For us on the ground and delaware goodness these really are razor thin margins thank you jim. One of the states that joe biden has won is california it also has the largest number of Electoral College votes 55 rob reynolds has more from los angeles on bidens a west coast success. Arizona became one of the bright spots in the Biden Campaign and for democrats in general when they were able to flip it from the republican column to the democratic column a states 11 electoral votes will go to joe biden and arizona voters also elected a new democratic senator ousting the incumbent republican otherwise however the high hopes by the democrats to flip the state of texas for example came to naught and as of our latest tabulation of results from the state of the vada joe bidens lead there has been shrinking. Americans who have endured sometimes a rancorous and bitter and confusing campaign full of heated rhetoric and. Sometimes difficult debates and other events in the midst of a terrible coronavirus pandemic will now be waking up throughout the land to find their the boy house really in a state of limbo without any clear winner until more of the votes can be counted. Often i have here here on aljazeera england prepares to go back into a coronavirus struck down as more testing as promised. And some of nicaraguas poorest communities hit hard by a devastating storm. Follow the breeze its been blowing across this part of the sea of japan has been full of showers quite a big one as well with thunderstorms so if youre on mark coast of honshu hokkaido has been battered recently or breezes easing and that japan joris the Korean Peninsula or most of china in a nice sunshine of a cold mornings admittedly not even done in hong kong the humidity has dropped now the northeast monsoon is trying to get into a good time of the year clearly we have got still what is probably by this time a thai food but its over water so lets hope it stays there the moment we havent got to worry too much about it. Goni which was that super typhoon that went across the middle of the philippines is on its way to the coast of vietnam itll make landfall probably late thursday or early friday local time and its not going to be such a problem with wind its going to be a rain storm once again 400. 00 millimeters or thereabouts already sudden grant you know the story in vietnam this will just topped off more fright and then we lose it altogether the rain spreads further towards thailand showers the south that pretty widespread but i use it in the news here and thats what they should be for india its channel our science was get the right it is time the year and its a particularly active couple of days for thursday and friday i suspect. Jumped into the stream and julian on Global Community biodiversity is biosecurity is that essential for our species to survive be part of the debate i know the hard line days and he can be part of this conversation when no topic is off the table the complaints are not neutral and all of these cases goal here is to terrorize and heres the other part of this theres no consequence to this stream on out is there. I dont and im just on hot lets remind you of our top stories this hour the race to the white house is still a very tight one so far there is no clear victor but u. S. President all the trump has declared himself the winner despite for its still being counted his rival joe biden says that when all the votes are finally counted he expects to come out on top he is currently leading in the Electoral College for it comes. Bidens biggest victories obama has been arizona its the only state to flip off to trump one of back and 2016 millions of ballots still need to be counted as you can see with the results unclear and the key battleground states of michigan and pennsylvania. Lets not speak to amy pope shes a former u. S. Deputy Homeland Security adviser to president obama shes now also a partner at the International Law firm shellings and london she joins us from there now amy thanks for staying with us i do want to start again with the obvious question that we discussed last hour i really think its really important to reiterate can President Trump actually stop the vote counting no he cant you know this is a bluff its not entirely clear why he went there and the fact that Chris Christie who as you know is a key trump supporter pretty immediately contradicted it online suggests that that this is really just going over the line even for the republicans so you cant stop the vote count there may be other challenges to the vote but thats not one of them well you mentioned other challenges if he did want to go ahead with some kind of legal challenge what would be the process there and what would be potential legal grounds for that. Well there are certainly many litigation cases now pending already around the country and any of those really could provide a grounds to move forward some of them include questions about the rights of observers to verify stick signatures how long after the election day the votes can come in and still be counted those questions are very much in play and they may very well be contested in the days to come but it really matters only if the president or the Vice President has won only by one state and its really sort of hanging in the balance otherwise litigating on these issues wont make a material difference amy i know it can be hard sometimes to get inside President Trumps head but it does feel like he had a fairly good night tonight in terms of holding on especially to some case states like florida yet he chose to question the legitimacy of this process at this time what is the strategy here. I think hes not confident that hes going to win you know if youre looking at it from a 30000 foot point of view you would say just hold your fire for the moment you could still win this so why i call into question the legit and genesee of the election the fact that hes getting out there preemptively the fact that hes been doing so for the last several weeks really suggests a level of uncertainty about his ability to succeed and he wants to see that in the minds especially of his base he wants to see doubt as to the outcome of this election well there are already questions now being raised about the potential of the extension that was already a great of a vote counts that were seeing ongoing now in pennsylvania and this is obviously a state that could determine this election where is that process now and could that extension be rescinded. Well the Supreme Court has already reviewed it and effectively said that i
