State of georgia that is one of several battleground states where the result of tuesdays president ial election remains in the balance have a look at these live pictures coming in from atlanta which is georgias capital city thats where vote counting still ongoing stream a close race in this traditionally republican state and Donald Trumps initial lead has been steadily falling the u. S. President has repeated unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting and ballot counting in georgia is one of several states where republicans are filing legal challenges over the election at trumps claims of a tea regularities sparked protest by his supporters in arizona and in other places Police Officers in phoenix could be seen preparing themselves inside a counting center as crowds gathered outside. All right lets see how the electoral map looks at the moment now biden remember has already flipped michigan and wisconsin up there in the north that donald trump narrowly won 4 years ago the democratic candidate now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes while donald trump has 214 remember the magic number to become president is 270 and here in yellow you can see the state still in play nevada there in the west theres georgia there in the south North Carolina and up there pennsylvania now trying to leads in georgia by about 28000 votes but thousands of absentee ballots still in the balance still to be counted and were expecting more data in the coming hours and what might help joe biden here is that most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic or North Carolina is one of the states where trumps claimed victory but the result there is just too close to call in this state many ballots postmarked by election day accepted until november the 12th were still also waiting on pennsylvania pennsylvania a state where joe biden was born in trumps lead here is again shrinking and the remaining male ballots a mostly from democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh and that gives biden a chance of course to catch up pennsylvania another state where trump has filed a lawsuit and here is. Novato where biden is naturally in the lead you can see about 8000 votes this Western State has 6 electoral votes it could be crucial and it would be enough to get biden to the magic number of 270 with our teams in place across the United States rob reynolds is standing by to talk all things nevada we also have our White House Correspondent can be how could i shes in washington d. C. And mike hanna is in joe bidens home state of delaware but 1st lets hear from patty call hane as she wraps up developments so far. Former Vice President joe biden projecting confidence he will be the next president and he may have taken a step closer he sociate a press declaring hes won the states of wisconsin and michigan giving him more Electoral College votes and an easier path to that you 70 that will get him to the white house and now after a long night of county its clear that where one knew enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency im not here to clear that weve won but i am here to report when the count is finished we believe we will be the winners but u. S. President donald trump is demanding a recount in wisconsin after falling short by around 20000 votes even his most ardent supporters doubt that will change anything former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker tweeting out a recount in 2016 trumps numbers went up by 131 and the counting continues in the states that will decide the election with state officials asking for patience give the Public Servants the opportunity to do their job and what i will tell you is that karen pennsylvania were going to follow the law and we will respect the will of the people and the crop her victory will be certified based on who got more votes the president is suing to stop the counting in some states his surrogates saying falsely that the election is being stolen to win for a republican to win here how many votes do we have to be at 400000 is not enough with 80 plus percent counted i think theres only 14 percent of the vote to go. If you think were stupid you think were false the president is complaining on twitter theyre finding biden votes all over the place in pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan so bad for country to be clear theyre not finding ballots but counting ones that come in on time according to state laws and there is a question about whether the Postal Service run by a trump loyalist interfered in getting ballots delivered on time define a federal judges order tuesday to do a sweep for ballots they refused potentially leaving hundreds of thousands not counted the one thing this election has clearly shown america is a nation divided it really does seem like people live in 2 different realities given like the news they consume and with a surround themselves with so i i not bad surprise that a lot of people decided to vote again for a president who has brought us to where we are with several cases winding their way through the courts as the votes are counted and america and the world waits to see who eked out a win in this fractured country patty calling out 0 i lets join right reynolds in los angeles and 1st well talk. Some seem to protest that whats going on. Well as you will recall last night so or early wednesday morning President Trump said at the white house that democrats were trying to steal the election its some of his followers in phoenix arizona apparently taking his words to heart so for several hours now a growing crowd of trumps supporters some of them carrying weapons have gathered outside a Vote Counting Center in Downtown Phoenix the largest city in arizona they are chanting using bullhorns to shout slogans and generally making known their opinions that the vote is either being improperly counted or being stolen in some way sheriffs deputies gathered to guard the entrances to the building and to escort the employees to and from the building as they came and went things got increasingly tense and the Police Ordered the news media to get out of the area and. They complied however the staff at the Elections Department tweeted that they would continue to do their job which is to count the votes and its true to their word just a few moments ago really a few minutes ago they released a new batch of 62000 new votes that have been counted mostly from the city of phoenix and its environs and these this new information shows that joe bidens lead is narrowing in arizona to about 10000. 00 votes he is now by about 10000. 00 votes i should say excuse me so joe biden is now 68000. 00 votes ahead of trump 50. 5 percent to 48. 00 per. Cent and there are 320000 votes remaining to be counted in the state of arizona with its 11 electoral votes rob the allies 2 on the neighboring states the bordering states of nevada to the west the too close to cool. Too close to call joe biden continues to cling to a fairly slim lead in the state hes hes up by about. Scuse me just looking at my notes here he is up by. Less than 8000. 00 votes at the moment thats a 0. 6 percent and there are tens of thousands of new vote votes or votes that are waiting to be counted most of those are mail in votes or absentee ballots most of them are from the city and environs of Las Vegas Nevada and that is considered a democratic leaning area also mail in votes are considered to be tending to go democratic to go in bidens favor so we have a long way to go there with a lot more counting tens of thousands of votes however the authorities in that county where las vegas is situated say they will not be releasing any new information tonight well have to wait until tomorrow probably around 700 g. M. T. Or rob thanks very much reynolds and the sounds was and lets cross United States to washington the White House Correspondent can see how good is what you will the action on fold there and. Vote counts are ongoing very tight margins you wonder how soon we will get these critical results. Yeah things are moving quickly and as rob reynolds report of there things are getting a little bit better for donald trump in arizona but again many of the networks in the United States that have already called arizona for joe biden are not changing their position so what i can tell you is that at the White House Well it is dark behind me right now it is the middle of the night here in washington d. C. The president is still focused on winning so what weve seen is hes launched a series of lawsuits in various states trying to improve his chances and what were hearing is that the white house Still Believes that in the trunk campaign Still Believes nick that they may be able to coopt back arizona even though some have already decided that he has lost that state theres also this focus on the u. S. State of georgia where there are some signals things are getting worse for the president not better but still the white house believes that that state is very important a key to a reelection so the president has released his public schedule for thursday again for the 2nd day in the row he has no events on his public schedule it fits anything like it was on wednesday hes going to continue to make phone calls and continue to try and improve his chances the white house says the president s focused on winning or to me things look a can be how could there in washington d. C. Lets go to joe bidens home state of delaware might have a joins us from wilmington has the latest from there and mike as weve discussed before legions of lawyers on both sides hard at it trying to get ahead of the game here tell us about how the biden team is responding to trumps Donald Trumps legal advances. Well the biden team has been really preparing for this for months the chief Legal Adviser to Joe Biden Bob Barr hes a former counsel in the Obama White House and he was made very clear that the trumpet ministration that insisted that this was going to happen that should the results be disfavor able and favorable to the. White house then they were going to legally contest it they made no secret of that over a period of time and obviously the democrats were able to prepare for it so bob barr said what is called a boiler room a team of lawyers who are basically preparing to any of these allegations that the lawyers may be bringing and they have been dispatched to various states where these legal actions are taking place they are contesting each and every one of these actions a large number of the actions have already been thrown out by judges or by courts in various states and various counties there is one major case that has gained some traction and that is the Supreme Court has accepted a from the Trump Campaign to intervene or to allow the Trump Campaign to become a code sewer basically in a case against the state attorney general of the state. Attorney general of pennsylvania now the campaign asked to be able to join that case the Supreme Court has now instructed the pennsylvania authorities to respond to the Trump Campaign. Message by 10 oclock tonight so d there is some intervention there some traction where that goes very difficult to see basically at the stage its legal maneuvering but in the vast majority of cases they being defended there would appear very successfully by the Biden Legal Team or my transformation to my kind of their undoing were. Still ahead here on aljazeera in other news taking office again tanzania as president is sworn in the middle occasions or forward in a crackdown on opposition. And the u. N. Calls for immediate deescalation intensions ethiopias Prime Minister sends troops into ukraine which. Hello for the next few days much of europe despite the might of cloud will be a quiet and settled place all the weather around the edges is still windy and fairly wet in the media future in scandinavia and that weather is coming in from the atlantic so a lot of rain seems likely for western parts of norway but the sun shines more prevalent elsewhere but look down to the south of particular look at spain and portugal that low circulating offshore will produce some significant rain once again fortune members flooding there were a couple months ago from a similar sort of event than that strong normally through the bosphorus continues the likelihood of big showers for the eastern side of the med but over most of europe though it is a little on the chilly side even for this time of the year the sun should be out after for some a frosty start now lisbons not be the focus of whats happening in our area suns tones today the winds picking up a sort of a synoptically car would not that particularly warm particular with persistent rain as youll see on friday for it goes away on saturday so that story continues and more in the way of sunshine scandinavia including in norway but if you take the focus down to the southeast corner has been some pretty big thunderstorms recently of a cyprus this is a water spout and over water tonight if you like over lebanon and there are still big showers in the area today. Jump into the stream and julian on Global Community bio diversity is bio security is that essential for our species to survive be part of the debate i know you have i. D. s and he can be part of this conversation when no topic is off the table the complaints are not neutral and all of these case goal here is to terrorize and heres the other part of this theres no consequence for this stream on out is there. Are going to watch aljazeera remind about top stories this hour and the race to the white house is going down to the wire after flipping which again in wisconsin by now has projected total of 264 Electoral College votes or donald trump has 214. 00 it takes 270. 00 to win the election. The u. S. President has repeated unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting in ballot county georgia is one of several states where republicans are finding legal challenges over the election. And trumps claims of voting irregularities are sparked protests in arizona and in other places Police Officers in phoenix could be seen pairing inside Accounting Center as Donald Trumps supporters gathered outside. That speech was gifted a lecture of Political Science at University College london he joins us now no one realizes it was going to get this close and the margins are incredibly tight this could still go either way couldnt. Well youre absolutely right that most of the pollsters really missed this i think in a substantial way most polls going into election day suggested that joe biden had a Comfortable Lead somewhere between 8 to 10 Percentage Points although it was showing in much closer race in some of these key swing states i think that very few experts expected donald trump to do as well as he did so the fact that this is still a race even if its unlikely that donald trump will win at this point and the odds are looking better and better for joe biden i think that this really does surprise a lot of analysts and it suggests that there is a very sizable nontrivial fortune of americans who even despite all the controversies that weve seen over the past 4 years continue to maintain support for donald trump if it does get up to the magical figure of 270 Electoral College votes and makes rightful claim to be president how much the little suits brought in by Donald TrumpsCampaign Team play the hand. Well i think what it will do is just drag on the process for several weeks potentially up to a month or so and most experts suggest that the arguments that Donald Trumps campaign is making about Election Fraud and other forms of lacking in the integrity of election do lack basis so the claim is that these arguments are relatively thin but still donald trump can tie up some of these cases in the courts for several weeks they would start at some of the lower courts and then eventually could escalate up until the Supreme Court whether the Supreme Court would actually decide to take on a case like that is unknown but the very least i think we are in for several days if not weeks of quite a bit of controversy adjudication and ultimately we may see some of these cases get resolved in the courts what do you think the you know this continuing narrative from the dulles team that the democrats are stealing the election what do you think that does for democracy in the United States. Well its not good for americas political and social fabric already we know that america is hugely divided along
