His side has suffered another defeat at this time in the european Champions League. Dhamma beginning this news hour as americans are waking up to another day of uncertainty over whos going to be their next president as time i am on the east coast in the u. S. State of georgia these are live pictures from their vote counting has been going on through the night its an extremely close race in the traditionally republican state Donald Trumps initial lead has been steadily falling georgia is one of several states where republicans are finding legal challenges over the election. Let me give you a look at the state of play so far joe biden has already flipped michigan and wisconsin donald trump not only won those 4 years ago but the Democratic Candidates now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes while trump is projected to win 214 now remember a candidate needs 270 to win here in the other you can see the states still being decided nevada in the west of course and georgia as well and North Carolina as well and in the south and further up pennsylvania now as i mentioned the counting is still going on in georgia trump leads there by about 800000 votes but what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs they lean democratic we are expecting more data in the coming hours and were also still waiting on Pennsylvania State for joe biden was born chumps lead here is again shrinking and the remaining mail ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh giving biden a chance to catch up pennsylvania is another state where trump is filing a lawsuit and here is nevada where biden is now really in the lead the western states has 6 electoral votes that will be enough to get him to the key number of 270 its one of the states that trump is suing claiming voter fraud now weve got a team of correspondents in place across the u. S. Is in joe bidens home state of delaware kristen salumi is outside the Pennsylvania Convention center and the gallacher is in florida for us and alan fisher is standing by for us live in washington d. C. 1st particle hain wraps up the latest developments. 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 were 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 and 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 who they surround themselves with so i i am not that 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. Aljazeera. Ok lets speak to alan fischer hes joining us live from washington d. C. Where the president has just tweeted stop the count alan that we didnt hear very much from the president of the white house in the last few hours but it suddenly seems to be ramping up a little bit. Exactly we didnt see him a toll yesterday you have to remember that just to fight the tweet today stop the current should confuse the message for the Trump Campaign is on one hand hes saying stop the killing yet his team in arizona want them to continue the count and that could be the problem if they go to a judge anywhere in the country and say we want you to stop the car and he said well in another part of the country youre saying you want to continue exactly the opposite if he goes and says we want you to continue they can say hold on a 2nd when youre the guy that tweeted a stop the what is also interesting is that jason miller who is one of Donald Trumps closest political advisers in the last 15 minutes tweeted out a note saying that the it had been a big when in pennsylvania more details to follow not long after that in fact just in the couple of minutes donald trump has tweeted out that cory 11 doe ski who was one of his Campaign Managers during the last campaign and pam bondi who is one of his Legal Advisers they are going to hold a News Conference in pennsylvania probably in 15 minutes the fact that theyre rushing this up quite so far suggests that the Trump Campaign thinks that they have won some sort of major victory will obviously get more details on that were certainly seeing a flood of legal action we knew this was going to happen donald trump talked about how he was going to challenge the results in court if he did not when he said that that would suggest there was fraud there are people in the Truck Campaign who are saying that theyre hearing stories about ballots being phoned in rivers let me just say theres absolutely no evidence of that either donald trump has often said there were problems with the Voting System with the mail in system how there was fraud hope for actors can get involved how you could reprint your ballot form none of those proved to be true i. But theyve obviously decided that in some of these cases theyre going to go to a judge and argue their case some to the judge whether or not they threw out the case but donald trump has already said he wants to go to the Supreme Court that would mean appealing it to the next level of court then to the one after that then the Supreme Court has got to decide whether or not the they want to take the key saw and one other thing i want to see rob before the election donald trump said that come november the 4th no one would talk about corporate he insisted that the media were just going on of this covert covert he said its all you hear about you hear nothing about it after november the 4th because he thought it was being used as a Political Tool to try and defeat his presidency on wednesday the day after the election there were 100000 new cases reported of covert in the United States that was a record so all eyes at the moment on pennsylvania all eyes on the recount that is going to get underway in wisconsin and all eyes on the 6 states where at the moment things are too close to call i would point out that if donald trump were successful and we did stop the kind if he did that right at this very moment joe biden would be the next president of the United States and we cant lose sight of the fact as well this is not just about the presidency is it its also about whos going to control the senate as well. Thats right and some of those results are coming in people were predicting that the democrats would do very well they havent done as well as they would hope theres still the possibility that they could get a very slight majority in the senate if you have got the white house and the senate it becomes a lot easier to govern donald trump has found that but theres still a voting going on in a lot of these key areas as well but when they lost the likes of Susan Collins in maine that the democrats were very keen very hopeful of flipping and that didnt happen but can a suggested that their efforts and the money they spent in these efforts had all been a bit in vain. Thanks very much indeed that salim fish for bringing us up to date from washington d. C. Ok georges become the unexpected toss up for donald trump with joe biden closing in on his lead for more on this lets speak to andy gallup hes joining us live from miami and the the numbers really being crunched there in georgia how close are we to getting a result. Well on Election Night donald trump had a late of about 372000 votes and over the last 48 hours im starting to forget what day it is at the moment that leads beaten down to about 18500 with about 60. 1000 votes to be still counted so it is within the margin of error in the state of georgia if its within half a percent either candidate can ask for a recount but these poll workers have been working all night with these final 60000 mail in ballots but its where theyre from thats really key for the Biden Campaign there from the suburbs of atlanta and if you look at the counties neighboring the ones where the ones have been counted now theyve overwhelmingly gone for joe biden now the state of georgia shouldnt really have even been in play a democratic president ial nominee has not won that state since 9092 that was bill clinton so this is an extremely tight race a very important race with those 16 Electoral College votes but state Officials Say they could well go into a recount which under georgia law and needs to happen within 2 Business Days but this is razor thin at the moment but as i said those final beilin ballots which are being counted at about 3000. 00 an hour. Are from majority democratic areas so it may well swing in joe bidens favor but that margin may be the all important thing which could see that state going into another recount and thanks very much indeed well be keeping our eyes across that of course we are expecting some sort of movement on that in the next few hours or so speak to kristen salumi shes outside the philadelphia Convention Center where do things stand with the vote count there kristen. Well joe biden is inching closer and closer to president as the vote count continues the lead president is now under 165000. With them. Just under 800000 votes left to count joe biden is very much in striking distance especially considering that he has been steadily gaining on President Trump as these mail in ballots are counted and many of the ones that are left are in urban areas like here in philadelphia which lean heavily heavily democratic at this rate most of the ballots could be counted today remember that we do have that lawsuit outstanding president chomp attempting to get the Supreme Court to weigh in on a decision here in pennsylvania to allow mail in ballots to be counted even if theyre received after election day as long as they are postmarked by election day and received by friday the state decided to count them and the state Supreme Court here upheld that decision but president among other legal actions here in pennsylvania asking the Supreme Court to get involved and we do expect the trump team to be speaking to reporters in this area very very soon so we may have an update on legal actions by them very soon. I should say that while the campaign is arguing that pennsylvania has been attempting to disenfranchise voters the pennsylvania officials have been pushing back on that strongly governor tom wolfe speaking earlier today said that things are going slowly but steadily they are. Counting the ballots it takes time thats requires patience he says that the election so far has gone off without a hitch and in his words mouth is mouth. Thank you very much indeed kristen sumi talking to us from one side the philadelphia Convention Center where as krista mentioned we are expecting some sort of press conference possibly from the Trump Campaign possibly in the next few minutes if we get it we will of course bring it to you lets cross to jamal hes live for us in wilmington in delaware thats of course joe bidens home state whats been the reaction from the democrats to all these accusations of voting irregularities and the legal action that the pain is bringing. Well essentially theyve dismissed all those i qs ations they see it as just some attempt to discredit the democratic process so obviously from a legal perspective they are well prepared theyre also well funded to be able to put up any legal representation in any of the states that are being contested but its not just the reaction from the Biden Campaign with regards to these accusations theres been a statement thats come out also from the organization for security and cooperation in europe. This is an organization that sends election monitors around the world whenever there are votes and our viewers and journalists alike will be accustomed to hearing from them in. A democracy is not necessarily our i cant remember hearing from them over a u. S. Election but theyve come out and theyve said the dramas claims of voter irregularities are baseless harm public trust in the Democratic Institutions so this is an independent electoral observing buddy which has also dismissed trumps claims what bidens camp has been saying throughout this is that people need to be patient they need to rates they point to the fact that. For the 1st time in u. S. History more than 100000000 people by the votes of early or via post and not by default was going to make the vote sifting process of a lot longer as we were speaking just now trump tweeted again by the way rob saying got no votes in capital letters no votes thats was thats has arrived after election day will be counted obviously he doesnt have the power to make that decision and what many people are saying particularly with regards to americans living abroad particularly those serving in the u. S. Army in the military because of the pandemic thats going on it is totally expected that some votes would have been cost prior to november the 3rd only to rival 8 on november the 3rd or november the 4th and just because of that pandemic doesnt mean that people will not have their voices heard that something that is outrageous as far as the by the campaign are concerned so they believe that this process will continue theyre hopeful that by the end of it not only will they come out victorious but biden will have demonstrated his respect for the democratic process as opposed to what they have described as trumps contempt for the democratic process lets go live for us in wilmington delaware thats joe bidens home state lets go to aaron cole hes a political commentator and the director of debate of the university of michigan hes joining us live by skype from Novi Michigan its good to have you with us so knowledge is here which way do you think this is going to go its going to be back with you yes as of now joe biden would be considered the favorites once. Boats are counted in places like pennsylvania and arizona in the battle hes likely in georgia as well hes likely to emerge with more than 270 electoral votes and he could get close to you know that 300 line where President Trump was just 4 years ago. Donald trump in the time come painter obviously talking a lot about litigation how realistic is it to bring legal action at this stage and would that make a significant difference to the end result. I think the threat of litigation is legitimate but its impact in effect on the outcome is negligible we were there in the campaigns in court today about trying to get ballots discounted that arrived after the election deadline but previous states North Carolina pennsylvania and others already said that they would accept them as long as they were postmarked by election day but they were a little bit late and those have been litigated already to the Supreme Court for today who decided that yes those state laws should be able to accept those ballots and so im sure the campaigns will be in court for the next several days or weeks and a lot of money will be raised about this but in the end because the margins in these key states are going to be in the 10s of thousands or even hundreds of thousands not to be enough votes to be able to invalidate to have a large impact
