Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy as a england enters another pandemic locked. Were going to begin in the United States a nation on the edge almost 48 hours on the president ial race between donald trump and joe biden still remains too close to call the Democratic Candidates already flipped to michigan and wisconsin and donald trump had not only won those 4 years ago but biden now has a projected total of 264. 00 Electoral College votes while trump is projected to win 214. 00 now remember the candidate needs a minimum of 270. 00 Electoral College votes to win a few states here highlighted yellow on the map nevada georgia North Carolina pennsylvania theyre still in play they are counting is ongoing in georgia no democrat has carried that state since 1902 but trumps lead there is not going fast what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes so from atlanta and its suburbs which lean democratic in nevada biden is now really in the lead to the western states has 6 electoral votes that will be enough to get him to the 270. 00 mark they its one of the states trump is suing claiming voter fraud were also waiting on pennsylvania the states where joe biden is from trumps lead here again is shrinking and the remaining male ballots are mostly from the democratic leaning cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh giving biden a chance to catch up pounce of any is another state where trump has filed a lawsuit. Lets go straight to alan fischer whos watching things for us in washington d. C. Allan just bring us up to date with for the latest from the Town Campaign which has been getting increasingly heated in the last couple of hours. Indeed we have been seeing that in the end of friday donald trump will be confirmed by those states as the next president of the United States and that my parents will be his running mate has been attacked from the Truck Campaign on the way that democrats are allegedly conducting themselves according to the Campaign Manager they said that the democrats are lying cheating and stealing running rampant across the country now theyve alleged in several places that there is voter fraud but they have yet to produce any evidence of that in fact theyve gone to court in the last 24 hours in michigan and also in georgia in georgia that case was thrown out in michigan the judge where they asked the judge to stop the counting of the votes there was a couple of things against them one the voting had already stopped but the 2nd thing was that the judge said keep the brought higher in here seeking this which means all the evidence was based on what someone thought they had been told rather than producing any evidence itself that would be a one in development for the Trump Campaign who have insisted that they will go to the courts to try and turn this election in dollar terms favor something that he has flagged up for weeks saying that he was willing to go as far as the Supreme Court suggesting that he didnt win the election then it was because of fraud the Biden Campaign that responded theyve said it was silly in this and they see that they are putting this message out simply the Trump Campaign putting this message i simply to back up the narrative that they have constructed doesnt stop them saying it though theyve just been in the visor they had a News Conference a couple of hours ago and there again without any evidence he suggested there was evidence of voter fraud. Weve burned they 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 weve 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. The news weve heard in the last is that pennsylvania might be able to make a call on the results from their state before the end of business on thursday thats 20 Electoral College votes if joe biden won that and he thinks hes going to because thats the state where he was born then that would be a big victory for him the problem is that it might not be confirmed because were already hearing suggestions that the trump team will be going to court if that state is not called for donald trump they have alleged as they alleged on whedons day again without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud that people who had been dead for years had been voting again produced no documentation to back that up so whats donald trump been doing well bill stepien his Campaign Manager says he is alive and well hes been tweeting out a couple of times today he said that he wanted to stop the vote thats a mixed message they want to stop counting the votes in places such as pennsylvania and michigan you cant do michigan anymore but they want to continue counting in arizona because donald trump is that behind it joe biden there so they need the votes to try and overhaul what the democratic candidate has already stocked up for donald trump hes apparently watching the results consulting with allies and wondering whether or not his time in the white house is coming to a close thank you very much indeed in the fresh air bringing us up to date from washington d. C. I want to go over to jamal sile hes live in wilmington delaware which is of course joe bidens home state where were hearing from alan about the campaigns attempts to bring litigation in some of these states whats been the reaction from the democrats to these accusations of voting irregularities. Well i mean theyve been from the beginning pushing the same message that everybody has to be patient people have to wait until all votes are counted and only then will the. Century announce what they believe to be an imminent victory for their candidates there was a tweet so around an hour and a bit ago from joe biden himself to that and where he said you know people should be calm votes are being counted we are confidence thats we will get the results or we are confident where we stand currently obviously they will themselves be mobilizing their own lawyers for if and when needs be there from out and thats the case in georgia has been thrown out but there are others that are being that could go on however from a numbers perspective rob when you look at the outstanding states and when you look at the projections where we are now 264 in favor of biden its very unlikely that every single outstanding states will have a legal challenge that will prevent buy them from getting those 6 points needed and thats why they feel very confident about its. Another message has been coming that is coming together with this kind of call for patients who has been wanting for calmness of unity and on a college means that the American Public is extremely divided that tensions are extremely high not necessarily here in wilmington delaware but definitely in other states across the country particularly in whats been branded by some of the Media Outlets here in the us as a country a call for an attempt to try and bridge the divisions here in an acknowledgement that the polarization thats has occurred throughout this elections but that is really built on much more deeper see the divisions within america and society that needs to be dealt with by whoever is going to be in the white house whether its will be a continuation of trump as unlikely as that may seem or more likely scenario of. President biden so now youre. Bringing us up to date with the situation in the biden county live for us in wilmington delaware janelle thank you very much indeed well georgia has become the unexpected toss up for donald trump with joe biden closing in on his lead for more on this were going to speak to Andy Gallacher hes joining us live from miami but hes monitoring events in georgia forests obviously the counties still going on there in georgia just bring us up to date with what we know about whats happening. A lot rob on unlike should die President Trump what about 8370000 vote lead over joe biden over the past 48 hours thats the no way by those 1000000 ballots its now only 13200 so that gap is closing rapidly and theres a good reason for that all of this for the right incidentally not is because the mail in ballots are coming in from. 6 counties that. Lean democratic but there are also other pilots coming in from heavily republican areas as well so this is really down to the wire in a state that the democrats didnt even think would be applied to the last democratic president ial nominee to win in the state of georgia was bill clinton all the way back in 1992 now there are some state officials saying look this could end up with 1000 votes between these 2 candidates which is essentially pretty mind blowing when you think how red state has been for so many decades county officials working through the night saying they will bring as a result as soon as humanly possible but at stake 16 Electoral College votes i mean thanks very much indeed design to gallacher talking to us about georgia hes talking to us also from miami because hes monitoring it from there and we thank you very much i want to speak now to kristen salue because shes outside the Philadelphia Convention center where there have been protests i think between brawl pro bribed and and pro trumpet groups there where do things stand with the vote 1st of all custom. Well rob the vote count continues and joe biden is creeping ever closer to donald trump who remains in the lead by less than 115000 points 115000 votes and thats less than 2 percent so weve seen the the margin narrowing dure with most of the remaining ballots left to be counted here in philadelphia and in pittsburgh those are the urban centers of the state which tend to lean heavily democratic which is why democrats are increasingly optimistic that joe biden can and will pull out a victory in the state as you say supporters of both candidates have been on the streets around the Convention Center here making their voices heard biden supporters chanting count every vote supporters of president chomped pointing out that voting closed on november 3rd which of course is true and a bit misleading the vote tally is continuing past november 3rd but only for votes that were cast by november 3rd even mail in ballots while the state will accept ballots that were received after november 3rd in fact until friday they have to be postmarked by november 3rd and thats been upheld by the state Supreme Court here in pennsylvania but the Trump Campaign is asking the Supreme Court to get involved in that now we have a situation here in philadelphia where the campaign sued to have election monitors inside to observe the ballot counting observers from the Trump Campaign the judge ruled in their favor pennsylvania is appealing that decision and not too long ago someone from court lewandowsky a Campaign Advisor for president held a press conference here in philadelphia saying that they had yet to be granted that access and accusing. Democrats of essentially trying to steal this election the governor for his part has accused the republicans of trying to subvert the election process he says let the election workers do what theyre supposed to do and count the votes they should be able to do that free of intimidation all of that said right now the vote count is continuing and the secretary of state for pennsylvania does say that she thinks we may have enough votes its counted by the end of the day to call a winner here in pennsylvania and its certainly looking to be a very close race christiane thank you very much indeed christen salumi talking to us from outside the Philadelphia Convention center where the cones are continuing thank you.

Hello much of central much of europe i should say is tasty in a bit of early winter in that it feels cold in the morning and cold by the day but weather wise in the words the wind and rain the stuff well thats not really of a Central Europe its gone down to the southeast corner and its particularly showing itself off the coast of portugal the big revolving lazy low produce significant rain i suspect once again portugal focusing on this but it will bring showers up through spain as well and eventually into france but look at the daytime temperatures but 12 degrees in bertie its warming up now this certainly influence in paris and london but the morning is going to be cold in austria as an example in the sun will shine as far south as greece but if you concrete thats a quarter strong and all the wind in fact has been this past metro has been most active recently significant showers all the way now through turkey Northern Syria probably going to happen the caucasus the backwash wind is quite strong slow moving chassis and likely on the levantine coast but rather more significant rain is likely on the coast of egypt with that strong wind the same is likely to happen eventually i think in morocco and weve seen showers in west africa is fine also is going to be a siren recently there again on friday. My name is Matthew Castle jewish in america and i support the palestinian struggle against occupation when politics came past and my mom saw me at a protest card carrying a palestinian flag she told me i was no longer her son is it possible to be critical of zionism. I do palestinian solidarity or think its the most jewish thing i can do what about the treatment towards the palestinians and the occupation that it. Algis ian a correspondent. For. The watching on his ear a reminder of our top stories this hour the race for the white house is going down to the wire after flipping michigan to wisconsin joe biden now has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes according to the Associated Press. 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 and ballots county georgia nevada and pennsylvania are just some of the states where votes are still being counted and republicans are filing legal challenges over the election. Ok lets talk to Brian Shafter hes a professor of civic studies at Tufts University hes joining us from medford city in massachusetts. We enjoy or who are grateful to you for being with us lets just talk about all this litigation that is going on what is the likelihood that any of it is going to have any impact on the eventual outcome. Its a great question i i doubt there will be any real effect from this litigation on the outcome you know theres of course so many cases being filed and so its hard to keep track of everything thats going on but it just is basically that you know pennsylvania still counting votes right now after the election and thats you know thats thats not a problem thats something thats something theyve done in every election going back years and years its just that this year it happens to be very close so i dont see anything that looks like a case that has much legs in terms of maybe overtrain the outcome but of course you know you never know how much impact is going to have on u. S. Voters believe in their democratic process in the United States. Thats also a really good question and you know. One of the i think potential issues here is that we have one of the candidates basically constantly talking about fraud and calling the outcome into question and of course you know followers of trump are going to take what hes saying to heart to some extent and they believe it and i think thats maybe the major issue here i think you know if you go back to for example the 2000 election which was you know contested for months after the after election day you know you had very different case where you had 2 president ial candidates who were urging you were you know just sort of you know not saying necessarily that anything was fraudulent but you know basically saying we need to count votes wait out the outcome it cetera but in this case you have one of the candidates whos making i think somewhat dangerous comments over twitter and whatnot and you know i do worry that thats that is going to have a Lasting Impact. On his supporters Going Forward im just seeing on the wires here reuters is reporting that a Facebook Group pushing a false claim of stolen u. S. Election and organizing protests that upon again 3600. 00 forgive me 365000 members in a day has been removed by facebook now thats just being reported by voices im not saying that and where else but this is part of the concern isnt it with the growth of social media it was inevitable that this kind of thing was going to start interfering in the democratic process. Yes absolutely i think you know weve seen not even before the election that that trump has you know very very radical following people who tend to be very just distrustful of the media very distrustful of other institutions and are quick to believe conspiracy theories and other and other claims like that it doesnt help that of course trump himself is endorsing a lot of these conspiracy claims and so its really not surprising to find that there is are a lot of people who are willing to sort of believe in the stuff and show up for example in pennsylvania to protest counting ballo
