Detention in the hague where hes been charged with war crimes. And tanzanias president is sworn in for a 2nd term after an election the opposition has dismissed as a sham. And in school rafael nadal has stayed on course to win the paris monsters for the 1st time a day after securing his 1000 career victory that doll is through to the last 8 in france. Would begin in the United States where americans are going through yet another day of uncertainty over who will be the next president counting continues in just a handful of states which hold the key to the white house for either joe biden or donald trump biden appears to have won the popular vote but its all down to the Electoral College the state by state Voting System that determines who wins the white House Democratic candidate joe biden has flipped michigan and wisconsin States Donald trump narey 14 years ago and based on Associated Press results biden has a projected total of 264 Electoral College votes trump is currently projected to win 214 which. And it needs 270 to secure the white house the states in yellow a currently too close to call they include nevada where joe biden is currently in the lead by more than 11000 votes the winner of this state will secure 6 electoral votes in 26000 trump lost the state by more than 2 percent in georgia its also extremely close Donald Trumps initial lead has been steadily falling now its under 13000 votes and thousands of absentee ballots are yet to be counted most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which lean to the democrats helping joe biden and one of the most contentious states is pennsylvania trump is currently ahead by about 101000. 00 votes counting mail in ballots which is weighing heavily towards democrats so biden could still secure the states 20 electoral votes we have correspondents monitoring events around the u. S. The moment well go to cheryl in joe bidens home state of delaware but lets start with alan fischer in washington d. C. So allan tell us about the tactics at the moment. Well a lot of it revolves around going to the courts and we knew they were going to do this donald trump has been talking about for weeks the fact that if he was that the election it could only be because of fraud and so if he wanted to go to the Supreme Court if necessary to try and win the election were certain see a number of minor court cases over the last 24 hours or so weve seen one in georgia that was thrown by the judge weve seen one in the last few hours in michigan which the judge said was based on hearsay evidence which means there was no real evidence presented and so when the she was asked to stop the counting of ballots she refused to do that some of the Time Campaign has been very spiky when talking about the democratic colleagues the democratic opponents in the last few hours weve heard from bill stepien who is the Campaign Manager he said that the democrats have been lying cheating and stealing running rampant across the country when asked for a response the Biden Campaign said that was simply silliness that they are filtering this message to try and back up some of the actions that theyre taking across the country jason miller who was one of Donald Trumps closest advisors in 2016 came back to do the same sort of role this time around he says that by the end of friday the results will be known and at that point donald trump will be confirmed as president of the United States with mike pence and him spending another 4 years in the white house what is interesting with all of these court cases is that the judges have said look theres not enough evidence here and so were hearing from the Trump Campaign saying there is fraud its happening its there were seeing examples of it but theyre never able to produce any evidence that backs that up a fair from jr in the last hour he says that some of the 2024 republican candidates should be doing more to defend his father saying that ron the scientist the governor of florida is the only one that seems to be doing that but again and again were hearing these allegations from the republicans with no evidence in the last few hours weve heard from their team and last week its in the bag and again suggesting that those who were voting were not entitled to vote in the president ial election again with no evidence. 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 or alan is that the waiting in the counting continues are we any closer to getting a result from one of the key swing states. Well theres the possibility and at the moment we thought it was almost a certainty the next hour or so we would get something from pennsylvania were being told its a possibility we might get something from pennsylvania in the next couple of hours that would be big and that would be significant donald trump has had a lead there that has been whittled away by joe biden thats because theyre counting the mail in ballots and as weve been seeing since before the election the mail in ballots are likely to favor the Democratic Candidates there because they made a big deal before the election because of the corporate crisis to send in your mail in ballots so his lead in pennsylvania has slowly been whittled away particularly because a lot of those votes are coming from the likes of pittsburgh and also from philadelphia both of them are regarded as democratic strongholds and so that might happen in the next couple of hours if joe biden wins the year that would give him 20 Electoral College votes that would put him over the top he would get to 270. 00 plus and that would secure for him a victory although undoubtedly we will see legal challenges to that what is interesting is that joe biden actually doesnt need pennsylvania if he wins and nevada and as we know hes already been given wisconsin and michigan but if donald trump wants to win the white house is really got to win pennsylvania that is a plus a must win for him so we could get a clearer picture of what is happening on election day times 2 here in the United States our official thank you very much jamal joins us live from joe bidens home town of wilmington delaware so its not just china has been twitching tell us what this had to say. Well there in a couple of tweets in the past hour or so lets go with a friend or the most recent one. He tweeted were fighting to ensure every last vote is counted across the country and we need your help to do it chip into the Biden Fight Fund to fuel our Election Protection efforts interesting language here number one is not hes not saying were fighting to protect our victory or to protect or to make sure im president hes talking about protecting every single vote is counted in this is the narrative its a very very its a huge contrast to what donald trump has been saying the idea of biden saying that this is a must this is a fight to protect the democracy the system and everybody has a right to do so so obviously theyre trying to fundraise for any legal action which will be lodged or has already been lodged by the Trump Campaign in several states the other one is more of a president ial tweets really again saying everything but just stopping short of announcing himself the victory he said in this weeks let me be clear this is biden let me be clear i campaigned as a proud democrats but i will govern as an american president again here you know part of it is essentially saying ive won but without actually saying it but more importantly maybe to those who are in the middle here is hes trying to maybe say that he is attempting to bridge that gap which has so evidently appeared in what has been probably one of the most polarizing elections in modern history here in the United States and in the meantime i suppose said the Biden Campaign is also a footpath and if the legal challenges run long theyre also prepared to go to court and they. For sure i mean large there where they are fund raising for that and it is something theyre mobilizing for but really on the ground when you look at the other movements of the Biting Campaign is doing literally tangible movements behind us were outside the trade center where their huge queue is where this stage is being set top it does seem theyre also mobilizing for some sort of victory speech at some point whether thats going to be tonight or tomorrow but the stage is still there there are members of the public who have been converging albeit just in small handfuls but there are coming here theres already been that announcement by the federal Aviation Administration which has put a no fly zone over bidens house which is a couple of miles away from where we are now is something thats usually only done one somebody is confirmed as a president s whether that is because theyre anticipating gets or whether because of the high tensions here and weve seen people with guns and sorts and areas of the country trying to stop the votes or the reserve very real threats to the peaceful process here were not quite sure but definitely there is a Movement Towards an. Inevitable announcements as it would appear from the biting camp for him to be announced as president albeit they are still taking like you say there there precautions theyre having to announce it and they are mobilizing for fund raising for any sort of legal action that they need to take or at least need to defend against in the courts in states across the country jim thank you very much indeed. What tensions mentioned there have been rising in philadelphia where trump and biden supporters have gathered outside the convention center. Still being counted some supporters are denouncing the election process and chain that fraudulent ballots were counted in favor of democratic president ial nominee. Biden fans dismissed the allegation calling for every vote to be counted. Georgia is one of the states still up for grabs and a guy has following the count in georgia from neighboring florida as whats the latest there in georgia well they are still counting lauren just like they have been doing for the last 48 hours but lets look at the figures as they stand at the moment on the night of the election don trumpet about 8370000 vote lead over joe biden over the last 48 hours as those mail in ballots have come in that lead is narrowed to Something Like 12 to 13000 now what is significant here is that the ballots coming in tend to favor the democratic candidate and also the areas if you look at where those votes are coming from in some cases theyre voting for biden by about an 80 percent rate so this is a tense moment in a state that essentially the democrats shouldnt even be competitive in the last president ial nominee he was a democrat didnt win the state since 1902 and that was bill clinton so there is a real chance here that this state you would normally think of as read will play a big part with 16 Electoral College votes we are getting fairly regular updates from officials we think there are about 50000 votes left to count including i should say some from republican areas and some from members of the armed forces overseas whove put these ballots in but there are state officials in georgia saying look this could potentially end with about a 1000 votes between both biden and trump and under Georgia State law that means a recount could happen so lets just listen to the secretary of state for the state of georgia. We anticipate having the count quote unquote done when the legal deadline for certification is which is going to be 10 days after the election thats when were done because there are ballots that are still coming in their ballots to be cured of their ballots there provisionals that are to be verified so we can know how long the process will take we dont have clarity on the outcomes of these elections as soon as possible however when you have so many important elections state being so closely done is a very relative term at this point were trying to get all the legal votes counted accurately so we can get the right results and make sure that everybodys vote is reflected properly. So these poll workers of really being put in the pedal to the metal over the last 48 hours working all these long shifts trying to get this right accuracy at this point in time is the most important thing the Trump Lawyers did launch a legal challenge thats been dismissed dismissed by a local judge things in georgia in the peach state incredibly tight and again i thank you very much indeed. Now lets speak to reynolds whos in los angeles and he counts in the neighboring states of invalid and arizona to tell us 1st about the situation in nevada. Well the voting officials in clark county nevada which includes las vegas which is for the biggest city in that state did release some new vote totals earlier today a few hours ago and these breakdown basically showing that joe biden now is increased his lead in nevada over donald trump to about 10000. 00 votes with 13 percent of all the votes. Counted thus far. The bulk of all mail in ballots the official say will be completed in tally by the weekend either saturday or sunday and then there are various other categories of provisional ballots and other sorts of special categories which amount to a small number of ballots but they will be done before they must be done by november the 12th thats the final day for counting and tabulating ballots the delays which have if you want to put a little levity into all this that the long delays in the voter have lit up winter with all sorts of images of sleeping cats and dogs and giant sloths and qual bears and so on sleeping in the moving very slowly but the officials defended their action saying they just are not interested in going fast theyre interested in doing everything correctly at the same time the Trump Campaign has announced it will start initiating a lawsuit in the state of nevada to stop the town. And we will get more information on that is as it works its way through the ports but according. To the Election Officials at least in that highly significant county clark county nevada they said that there have they have seen no improper ballots no evidence of any fraud no evidence of people voting improperly so thats the latest on the votto with its 6 electoral votes of tension very important state a very important number of votes to get to the socalled magic number of 274 joe biden and one also tell us also back to arizona because thats also contentiousness. Yeah it is contentious and again more lawsuits underway there. Filed by the from campaign there was last night tuesday. Somewhat of a Public Servants when from. Demonstrators surrounded the. Voting center where the ballots were being tabulated in phoenix again this is the largest city in that state and they were. Demanding some of them to be allowed to observe the vote this of course is not legal there are special. People designated from both parties to go in and serve the demonstrators also tried to enter saying they were media and they were turned away because they didnt have any potential eventually it all ended the sort of petered out peacefully but the votes were intended to be tallied and they continue to show joe biden leading in the state of arizona with its 11 month old. Thank you very much indeed for bring else for that update and were also waiting at this evening in a statement to any minute now a statement from joe biden will bring you that as soon as that happens there. In time christmas remains so watching events in pennsylvania for us she joins us from philadelphia just on the counter and where things stand now. While joe biden keeps inching closer and closer to president try his lead is now less than 100000 votes here in pennsylvania and that is expected to get only closer as the day goes on with most of those outstanding ballots coming from here in philadelphia in the pittsburgh area these are heavily democratic areas of the state that is expected to favor joe biden as we get closer and closer to the final results in just a patient is growing particularly given the lawsuits and legal challenges being raised by the Trump Campaign you may see on the street behind me theres a crowd gathered down there its a bit of a Festive Party atmosphere right now but theyre carrying signs that say count every vote act going joe biden we did also see earlier some tribe supporters in the mix there carrying and signs and saying that voting ended on november 3rd well it did and on november 3rd that what they are referring to was the president s calls to stop counting ballots under state law here in pennsylvania officials cant count any ballot received up until friday november 6th but it has to be postmarked there by cast by november 3rd so that is the backdrop here the president did win a minor legal victory here in pennsylvania in philadelphia back earlier today when a judge said that their election monitors could be allowed to be in the room where the ballots are counted within 6 feet of where that is happening now that is being contested by philadelphia. And we did hear from a representative of the Charm Campaign here earlier today complaining that they are not yet being given that access accusing pennsylvania officials of china to undermine the election the governor of pennsylvania democrat tom wolfe for his part have accused the Trump Campaign of trying to subvert the democratic process he says the vote count is moving forward legally and carefully and now we are hearing in fact that we m
