Pennsylvania. Kosovos president steps down to face a war crimes trial at the hague for his alleged role during the 199899. 00 kosovo conflict. The u. K. Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy as a wind enters another pandemic lock down. And the pressure mounts on. His side have suffered another defeat at this time in the. Uncertainty remains 2 days after americans went to the polls to choose the next president only a handful of states remain unclear but they hold the key to the white house for either joe biden or President Donald Trump the focus has shifted to the state of georgia where a vote counting has been going through the night its an extremely close race in the traditionally republican state and Donald Trumps initial lead has been steadily falling georgia is one of several states where republicans are filing 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 now only one those 4 years ago the Democratic Candidates now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes trump is projected to win 214 now remember a candidate needs 270 to win here in yellow you can see the states still being decided now in the west georgia down towards the North Carolina in the middle of course pennsylvania up in the north well as i mentioned vote counting is still going on in georgia leaves there by about 800000. 00 votes at least that was the situation about an hour ago but what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic were expecting more data in the coming hours were also still waiting on pennsylvania of the state where joe biden was born trunks lead here is again shrinking the remaining mail ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh thats giving biden a chance to catch up and civilians in other states where trumps filed a lawsuit here is nevada thats where biden is now really in the lead the Western State has 6 electoral votes that will be enough to get joe biden to the key number of 270. 00 now its one of the states where trump is suing claiming voter fraud and that we have a team of correspondents in place across the u. S. As in joe bidens home state of delaware christine salumi is outside the Pennsylvania Convention center and he gallacher is in florida 1st lets check in with alan fischer standing by for us live in washington d. C. Allan just bring us up to date with what has been coming out of the Trump Campaign in the last few hours because they were fairly quiet but now things have got fairly intense. Indeed and pretty acrimonious as well weve heard from the trunk campaign in the last couple of hours they say that theyre confident the way the results are going they believe that when all the results of the clear than the expect that to be later on friday that donald trump and mike pence will be heading back to the white house for 4 more years theyve been very critical of the war of the democrats they said that the democrats are lying cheating and stealing running rampant across the country according to bill stepien who is Donald TrumpsCampaign Manager the Biden Campaign has responded to that by describing what was said as silliness the says this is the this information message that is feeding in to what is happening so that they can have this narrative that the election is somehow being stolen from them its important to point out the donald trump has of course for weeks been talking about how the election might be stolen they feel lost it would be because of fraud not because of his failings as a candidate because fewer people were 14 for him in those key states and of course over the last couple of days weve heard from the campaign saying that there have been numerous examples of fraudulent voting but never at any point have they produced any evidence even when theyve been asked to do so the currently involved in the number of legal actions across the country this is apparently a strategy that has been endorsed by donald trump who is spending his time in the white house talking to allies closely following all the results and of course in the last couple of hours weve heard from his team in last vegas and nevada and they again with evidence weve got allegations that there was fraudulent voting going on there. We firmly believe that there are many voters in this group of mail and people that are not proper voters and the last many days we have received reports of many irregularities across the valley weaver we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted we are also confident that there are thousands of people whose votes have been counted they have moved out of clark county. In the during the pandemic. Although of course is a lot of speculation about what donald trump is likely to do in the event that joe biden does make it to the white house. Of course weve heard from bill stepien who is his Campaign Manager who said in the last couple of hours the donald trump is alive and well we havent seen him for a couple of days but he has been tweeting as we know including a tweet that said stop the vote which is a bit odd stop counting the vote its weird that hes saying that because of course he wants them to stop counting in pennsylvania but continue counting in arizona where hes behind joe biden its a very odd message the question is what will he do if he loses will there be a smooth transition of power well theres actually a law in place that says his administration has got to work with the Incoming Administration to make sure that thats exactly what happens how will he respond well you will look at the way hes been over the last 4 years people for example said that when he went to the white house he would become much more president ial not the sort of thing that he actually did he said that he would stop tweeting when he realized it was causing a few problems because then he wanted to appeal to more members of the American Public that didnt happen he said in a couple of speeches that he would govern for all the americans but then of course hes talked about red states and blue states and how blue states democratic states need to fend for themselves ive been speaking to people in the trump or but one suggestion that they have made to me of course is that donald trump might well just leave office with a bit of dignity and a bit of class because he doesnt want to make things difficult his intention is that in 4 years time he might well run again hed be 78 theres nothing under the u. S. Constitution that says he could run for another 4 year chair and that is something that is being investigated by the with the donald trump something that has been suggested they think hed be able to do that and see what i did in the 4 years the 1st time around and i can do a better job this time around and we dont have corporate to worry about its just an idea no one suggesting its happening is a long way down the road and thats something to keep you warm tonight as youre watching the recounts and the legal action. In various states across the country thanks very much indeed alan fischer talking to us from washington d. C. Well georgia has become the unexpected tossup for donald trump with joe biden closing in on his lead for more on that were going to speak to Andy Gallagher hes joining us live from miami where hes monitoring things in georgia and he just bring us up to date with what we know about whats happening in georgia at the moment. A look at the end of Election Night on tuesday which feels like a very long time ago donald trump had a 370000 vote lead over his rival joe biden thats now been eaten down to just over 13000 with about 50000 votes left to count now why is that significant because the votes that are still not being tabulated are coming from democratic majority areas and if you look at the neighboring counties that have already been counted that have a similar demographic in some cases bidens getting 80 percent of that vote so poll workers in the state working all through the night really trying to get these results say more about 96 percent of all votes counted in some state officials and saying look this could be a case where theres a 1000 votes between biden and trump i mean when you think about that its actually quite mind blowing because this state hasnt been taken by democratic president ial nominee shes 992. 00 that was bill clinton but the rules in georgia say that if the results are within half a percent of each other the candidate can call for a recount so that may happen we just dont know yet but remember georgia has 16 Electoral College votes its been a red state for decades and people are watching as these results slowly drip in but as they do it seems that trumps. Being lead is now being steadily eaten away and were hoping we get the final results the 100 percent count in the next few hours and in this reading on. On the the wires here in Fulton County in georgia theres an election official whos saying that he expects to complete counting of absentee ballots later on thursday but theyre also saying they can still receive military and overseas ballots by 5 pm eastern time thats 2200 g. M. T. On friday so it may well be that the count where we were hoping to get maybe in the next few hours might be extended as those military ballots still have to come in. Yeah i mean theres every chance of that because remember trumps lawyers are already suing in georgia saying that one of the poll watchers saw 53 mail in ballots handed in after the 7 pm deadline 53 that just shows you how tight it is in this state and i think the Trump Campaign would probably imagine that those military votes would go for the president there are lots of bases in georgia around the atlanta area many of those people serving overseas mailing those things in so this is an extremely complex situation at the moment just because its so razor thin margins here are absolutely unthinkable a few years ago because this state has been so solidly republican so its just a case of wait and see these poll workers state officials are working around the clock they know the world is watching them and theyre trying to get those results to us as quickly as humanly possible to gallagher bring us up to date with whats happening in georgia hes monitoring that from miami and we thank you very much indeed. Well lets speak now to kristen salumi shes outside the philadelphia Convention Center where there were both pro biden and pro trump demonstrations chris and tell us about the latest on the count 1st of all. Yes well the count continues and the race gets closer and closer here in pennsylvania Donald Trumps lead is now less than 2 percent compared to about 6 percent when we went to bed last night thats 122000 votes ahead for donald trump and to put it in perspective there are about that many votes left to be counted here in philadelphia a very democratic leaning city and of course in addition to that votes elsewhere around the state are also still being counted there has been a Court Decision today in favor of the campaign allowing them to have monitors witnessing the vote count within 6 feet of the count to be able to observe exactly what is going on just a short time ago representatives of the Trump Campaign held a press conference and said that they are not getting access heres what Corey Lewandowsky had to say. They have 8 attorneys fighting as was inside the court orders but they will not. Only show would have to decide not to come down its legal its a court order to show what you know tony will not come down and of course it could order what is going on in the city what do you want to open up the noise level and let us fix for the way so that we can have a free and Fair Election where you could put donald trump 2 for the patrol card everybody has a right to win with conspiring with this makes you look like a Kangaroo Court we deserve better and were not leaving until we witness every single vote that transpired in. The city of philadelphia. Is appealing that decision to let the monitors in and in the meantime the vote count is continuing we were expecting to hear from governor tom wolfe a short time ago that press conference seems to be delayed but he did say earlier in the day that these are partisan attacks and Election Officials should be allowed to do their job free of intimidation and free of interference and attack you mentioned those demonstrations we did see that not too far from here a short time ago representing both sides in this election biden and. We heard from protestors on the trump side saying voting closed on november 3rd well technically yes it did but the votes that are being counted were cast by november 3rd even votes that are still being counted even the mail in ballots had to be received or postmarked by november 3rd so thats a bit misleading on the other side we saw biden supporters as well out chanting count every vote so the tension is ratcheting up here in philadelphia and across the state but the counting is continuing chris and thanks very much thats kristen salumi talking to us from the philadelphia Convention Center. Ok lets cross over to jamal shiloh hes live for us in wilmington delaware of course thats joe bidens home state and were hearing from officials in washington about what the position was with the Trump Campaign at the moment what has been the reaction from the democrats to accusations of voting irregularities. Well lets start by reading out a tweet by joe biden he is not only trump has been taken through twitter biden treated roughly 30 minutes ago be patient folks votes being counted and we feel good about where we are so nothing new there are just a reiteration of the confidence thats been expressed by the democratic candidate for the presidency who has essentially broken. Records in the United States by receiving the most number of votes or any president ial candidates has received behind me is this stage that they set up. Just outside the Convention Center here the chase Convention Center where the headquarters of the campaign are still they are they are expecting at some point to you is it true that the federal Aviation Administration or authority they actually issued a no fly zone over bidens home just a couple of miles away from where we are here that something usually only done when somebody is considered to be the president elect it doesnt mean that theyre announcing gets all of the officials have said it but it is just a fact that they have issued that no fly zone it could be just because of security concerns obviously with what weve been seeing across the country the narrative that has been coming out aside from the call for calm that were expressed in biden streets has also been one for respect for the electoral process run its course has been one of the importance of protecting american democracy in peoples business a patient something which is. Very much juxtaposed to what we have heard from President Trump and his camp there hasnt been any call for any votes to be stopped obviously behind the scenes. Even the fact that they think its just enough to come out with these statements they are mobilizing their own lawyers for litigation for legal action to be taken but they are very confident that very soon he will be announced as the next president of the United States of america in the run up to the elections of all the democrats who are really expecting a big repudiation of donald trump by republicans and yet that hasnt really happened has it. It has and in fact trump actually got about even maybe more votes this time around than he did in 2016 whats been difference this time is that the democrats have managed to bring out more people onto the streets in their favor they havent really swung republicans are away from donald trump and thats translated also in the because remember its not just president ial elections that are taking place there were some votes that were taken place for some kind of in some no house as well as the senate as well in the senate the democrats were expecting to see and i remember listening to nancy pelosi just a couple of days or maybe the night before the eve of the elections where they expected to get at least 4 or 5 new senators in on their side and to the majority in their favor thats hasnt happened what has happened is essentially a realisation that there are 2 americas as many analysts have been describing it that hes there is a very clear camps you have one that is very much in favor of the policy politics and policies of trump of his rhetoric of the kind of. Agenda that he has been following and another that sees this as extremely dangerous and is very much in favor of whats biden has been putting forward and this has been a somewhat by biden over the past 24 hours where he accepts that there is a fracture in this country there is Huge Division he put it as a result of this elections but the reality is there are a lot more deeper underlying issues in terms of Race Relations and the inherent racism that exists in many sections of society in the social economic inequality that is spread across the country across other policy issues not least for example the corner virus youve had more than 800000 cases registered in the United States in the past 24 hours and there is a huge divide amongst the people as to what is the best way to deal with that so there hasnt been a reproduction of trump ism that ideology or that. Idea still very much exists but there has been lets say more mobilization for those on the other side of that debate jamal thanks very much indeed does talking to us fr
