A war crimes trial at the hague for his alleged role during the 1999 costs of all conflict the u. K. Gets a new multibillion dollar rescue package to boost its economy as a glint enters another pandemic lock down. Now 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 candidate has already flipped to michigan and wisconsin donald trump has now really won those 4 years ago but biden now has a projected total of 264. 00 electoral votes trump is projected to get to 214. 00 now remember a candidate needs a minimum of 270. 00 Electoral College of. So when a few states here highlighted yellow on the map of nevada georgia pennsylvania North Carolina still in play counting is ongoing in georgia no democrat has carried this state since 1902 but drums lead there is narrowing fast what might help joe biden is that most of the remaining votes are 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 would get be enough to get him to the 270. 00 mark it is also one of the states that trump is suing claiming voter fraud you know were also still waiting on pennsylvania the state where joe biden was born trunks 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 pennsylvania is another state where trump is filing a lawsuit as a team of correspondents and monitoring the latest developments from around the country and agalloch is standing by live in florida to cover georgia for us kristen saloons in philadelphia john hendren is in michigan 1st lets talk to alan fischer in washington d. C. Allan it was pretty quiet from the trunk campaign for quite some time but now in the last few hours things have really started to get intense. Exactly particularly as pennsylvania could be declaring anytime in the next hour or so you remember that the campaign. d was predicting that they could win the state by somewhere in the region of 40000 votes it could be a lot tighter than that certainly weve had from the campaign the say that donald trump this time or in friday will be confirmed with another 4 years in the white house hell be joined there by mike pence the very bullish about the confidence they have in the route to 270. 00 Electoral College votes theyve also been attacking their opponents they are suggesting that the democrats have been lying cheating and stealing running rampant across the country they allege there has been widespread voter fraud particularly in the states where the race is close but offered no evidence at all to support that they had a court case in georgia through and also in the last couple of hours they the case in michigan which was also through and by the judge to claim that the campaign had come with too much here see evidence essential saying that there were no facts to back up their case and so they refused to rule on their motion to stop the ballot counting in michigan the Biden Campaign has responded by saying that this is all just silly this that theyre building up this idea of widespread fraud to support the suggestion that they have lost the election the they believe that joe biden is going to when and when by some considerable distance in fact the figure that has been suggested to me in the last couple of hours is 360. 00 that would be significant because thats exactly the figure that donald trump had 4 years ago but still the Trump Campaign continues to allege wrongdoing just in the last couple of hours weve had from the team in Las Vegas Nevada and again without evidence suggesting that the vote totals there had been skewed by people who shouldnt have been allowed to vote. 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 whenever 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. And of course there is a lot of speculation about what donald trump might do in the event that joe biden does make it to the white house. All according to bill stepien who is his Campaign Manager he told is that donald trump is alive and well hes been tweeting out in the last few hours hes been saying stop the count of course hes only saying that in places where he is ahead hes not talking about dont know where hes behind and he needs the killing to keep going theres talk that the campaign may go to court yet again but of course if you go to a judge in one place youre saying stop the another saying keep it going thats not going to work very well as for donald trump we are told that hes currently speaking to allies hes watching very closely he obviously is concerned and we know that having spoken to a few people in the donald trump or but that he may well put up a fight before he leaves the white house but there are those who are suggesting that he should go with some grace and a little bit of class because they are talking about the possibility that in 4 years time donald trump will run for the presidency again he would be 78. 00 just a year older than joe biden is at the moment but they believe that he could make a very good argument to the American People that the only reason he lost in 2020 would cause of covert 19 something you know control over something that came in from china and he would point to the fact that for the 1st 3 years he built what he describes as the greatest economy america has ever seen although by normal economic measures it doesnt even rate in the top 10 of the last 50 years but certainly thats an idea thats been floated in some way down the line not something that donald trump has confirmed but it will be interesting particularly if hes currently sitting in the building behind me watching the vote totals and wondering if his time in the white house disk. And to an end for the moment alan thanks very much indeed that sal and fisher bring us up to date with the Trump Campaign from washington d. C. Lets go to news out of michigan now would a court has thrown out a legal bid by Trumps Campaign they were demanding the vote count be stopped lets go to john hendren for more john allen was telling us there this is part of one of several several pieces of litigation that the Trump Campaign is putting into place. Thats right 48 hours of uncertainty has now ended and its all over in michigan except for the official certification of the vote count judge Cynthia Stevens ruled that there was no merit to the claim that voting vote counting should stop here in michigan that was what the Trump Campaign had asked for they say they wanted that voting to no longer be counted so that observers could have meaningful access while the judge ruled that their observers did have meaningful access and in fact that they had no evidence that there was anything wrong or nefarious going on shes going to issue that ruling in writing on friday she said but meanwhile there was some satisfaction in democratic circles that this was a black female democratic appointed judge who was able to end the trump challenge here in michigan and it was ended decisively in the early days of the vote donald trump was well ahead but by law here they have to count those mail in an early vote afterwards and those went heavily to biden by Something Like a 3 to one margin so that in the end there was a 2. 6 percentage point lead for joe biden he was he was over a majority he had 150000 votes over trumps and just to give you a little perspective on that when Hillary Clinton launched it donald trump 4 years ago that was 510000 votes this is 15 times that and she did not challenge the election the Green Party Candidate did and was told that she did not have standing to carry out that challenge so now this blue wall of states like wisconsin and michigan that barack obama and other democrats previously had relied on to a elect democrats which was knocked down by donald trump is being rebuilt by joe biden. Thanks very much indeed john hendren forus from michigan ok i want to bring in kristen salumi shes outside the Philadelphia Convention. The center for the have been both pro barton and pro trump demonstrations this is going to turn into a key area for this election isnt it whats the latest on the cunt. Yes well joe biden keeps creeping closer and closer to donald trump the lead is now less than 110000 votes with about a half 1000000 still left to count and. The anticipation really growing here it began sylvania you can see perhaps behind me some of those demonstrators its really turned into a bit of a Party Atmosphere out in the street here but theyre dancing to music and waving signs that say count every vote thats the majority of protesters there are some approach protesters around as well caring parent signs and saying november 3rd was the. Vote im sorry voting stopped november 3rd votes close november 3rd which is a bit misleading because the votes that are still being counted are ones that were cast before november 3rd so the implication that somehow these both modes are coming in late is not exactly accurate but a point that has been spread by the president and his team now the president did win a minor victory in order here earlier in the day when a judge said that his observers election observers republican election observers could be within 6 feet of the counters the ballot counters in order to observe that theres no funny business going on that too was a little bit misleading because there were republican monitors were allowed into this space prior to that ruling d just not as close right now philadelphia is appealing that decision and weve heard from the campaign that they have not been allowed access and theyre not happy about it here is what a spokesperson for the campaign. They have attorneys fighting just to see the ballots inside the court orders and the fact they will not give a fuck and the sheriff decided not to come down here to force a court order to show what you know tony will not come down and of course it could molder what is going on in the city what do you do open up the noise level and let us fix the way so that we can have a free and Fair Election where you could put donald trump 2 who you voted for told everybody has a right to what was transpiring this makes you look like a cake. We deserve better and were not leaving until we witness every single vote that transpired during. The democratic. Bending the vote counting process here in pennsylvania saying its been boy without a hitch you accuse the chum campaign of trying to subvert the election process i should also say that officials here the top election official here in pennsylvania says that they are in fact moving ahead of schedule and should have results in a clearer idea of who is winning by the end of today. Thanks very much indeed thats kristen salumi outside the Philadelphia ConventionCenter Thanks very much. Still ahead on aljazeera all eyes are on the president ial vote count in the u.

Your geodesy are a reminder of our top stories this hour of the race for the white house is going down to the wire after flipping michigan and wisconsin joe biden now as a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes according to the Associated Press while trump has 214 it takes 270 to win the election. The u. S. President has repeated unsubstantiated claims that there were major problems with voting and ballot counting georgia nevada and pennsylvania just some of the states where votes are still being counted and republicans are finding legal challenges over the election. Well georgias become the unexpected toss up for donald trump with joe biden closing in on his lead now for more on this lets speak to Andy Gallacher hes joining us live from miami where hes monitoring whats going on in georgia and im just watching at the moment Gabriel Sterling who is the secretary of states chief operating officer in there up on the 47000 ballots left to count hes giving an update on what the vote in situation is in georgia but there have been some legal ramifications in georgia as well havent you. Well lawyers for the Trump Campaign filed a legal challenge saying that one of their observers saw 53. 00 ballots handed in after the deadline of 7 pm thats now being dismissed by a judge but if we look at this lead all the gap between biden and trump it is now in all the time on Election Night trump out of 370000 or there abouts a vote lead over the former Vice President thats now back down to between 12013000 so you just told me about 40 something 1000 votes left to camp but whats key here is where those votes are coming from they are potentially coming from heavily democratic areas the suburbs around atlanta the suburbs around savannah there are republican areas coming in as well but this could get down to say state officials are 1000 votes between both candidates there are 16 Electoral College votes in that state so it is increasingly vital on the poll workers there are just been working nonstop for the past 48 hours to try and get these mail in ballots counted correctly those legal challenges seem to have gone away at the moment but of course they could be more in the future we are hoping for a result with 96 or 98 percent i think last time i checked all votes in the state of georgia now counted and it thanks very much indeed that Sandy Gallagher talking to us from miami but is monitoring whats going on in georgia for us and i think you well neal know is a lecturer in law at the university of pennsylvania kerry law school whos joining us live from philadelphia via skype its good to have you with us lets talk about all this litigation that the trunk campaign seems to be launching towards the states is any of its going to make any difference do you think. Not at all and as youve heard in georgia from campaigns 1st lawsuit has already been dismissed and we can expect that with many of the countless others that they are filing most importantly they are filing cases that have no legal merit. And its unclear as to how many votes that theyre even disputing so for example in pennsylvania it looks like joe biden is going to win by a margin of over 100000. 00 so even if its the President Campaign challenges votes that were sent in late. You know after after 7 pm on a lot today it doesnt matter that biden is looking person that its clear that he will have to 270 electoral votes its just a question of processing maam and actually making sure we do all the counts because this is the 1st time the state of the country has ever dealt with this volume of mail in ballots i want to ask you about the situation regarding the Supreme Court and all of the so theres a lot of speculation ahead of the election particularly department of a macone ballot thats donald trump was essentially packing the Supreme Court primarily so that it would judge in his favor should there be any problems for him over the election now given the nature of the court cases than the litigation that is being brought by the top of ministration do you see any of that being accepted by the Supreme Court. So i do think it is a valid concern because the Supreme Cou
