Class fears of a humanitarian disaster after a powerful Tropical Storm smashes into Central America. Well an undecided selection nation still on edge democratic challenger joe biden though is moving further ahead of President Donald Trump in the battleground States Joe Biden has spoken in an address to the nation saying that he is convinced he will win the race now hes ahead in pennsylvania nevada and in georgia so far by then is projected to have one around 264 Electoral College votes trump meanwhile has 214 magic number of course is 207 sable biden needs to win in only one of those yellow undecided states to get over the line and become president of the United States has this report now from los angeles. Joe biden took the stage looking weary but full of confidence we dont have a final declaration. Of victory yet but the numbers tell us its clear to us a clear and convincing story were going to win this race. By now leads donald trump in pennsylvania by a significant margin and a narrow one in georgia he also remains ahead in nevada and arizona as vote counting continues and whats becoming clear each hour is that Record Number of americans of all races faiths religions chose change over more of the same theyve given us a mandate for action on covert economy Climate Change systemic racism. Biden called for healing after a bitter and rancorous campaign lets put the anger the demonisation behind us its time for us to come together as a nation to heal its not going to be easy we have to try the Trump Campaign launched a barrage of lawsuit seeking to halt vote counting or to toss out mail and absentee ballots tabulated after election day but the president s lawyers provided little if any evidence of fraud no i think what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on he so acknowledge the fact that he lost and he needs to congratulate the winner just as jimmy carter did just as george h. W. Bush did and frankly just as al gore did and stop this and let us move forward as a country that as attorney general called the Trump Campaigns voting fraud complaint in his state garbage multiple studies over the years have concluded that vote fraud in the u. S. Is exteriorly rare in georgia bidens lead is so slim a recount is being planned as we are closing in on a final count we can begin to look toward our next steps with a margin that small there will be likely a recount in georgia pro trump demonstrators continued to protest around the country convinced that foul play was underway it raises the hair on the back of your neck where theyre trying to plan where theyre planning and. Theyre going to theyre going to steal this election. Meanwhile biden supporters celebrated in the streets of several cities after days of painfully slow vote counting most americans are eager for this election to finally be over but given trumps apparent determination not to concede defeat the legal battles could stretch on for weeks robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. Whats up here a Supreme Court justice has ordered sole mail in ballots arriving in pennsylvania after election day should be kept separate its what was already happening to those votes as they were being tallied republicans had asked Justice Samuel alito to keep them on kansas butts the justice ignored that request while all legal challenges were pending. Lets say get more now on the races stance from mike hanna he joins us now live from delaware which mike is of course where joe biden and his campaign are currently hold up now joe biden addressed the nation a few hours ago many could be forgiven for thinking that he be giving a victory speech of sorts given where the vote is going the still no winner though so what was the points of joe bidens speech. What we had been told early in the day that the speech would be banging that one stage we did expect that biden may well declare victory and at that stage is campaign may have been thinking that the results would have moved a little bit further faster than they did that being said by didnt since the polls as close to is made very clear that he is not going to declare victory prematurely and thats obviously given his campaign that instruction as well hes making very clear too that he wants all the votes to be counted and he wants absolute certainty the reason why he went ahead with this National Address tonight was one of reassurance certainly once again he called for calm he called for patients he insisted that this process must go through that every vote must be counted but at the same time he does not want to get ahead of himself very clearly if there is a major call a major projection before one of the states such as pennsylvania its very likely that you will then get a victory declaration from biden but until that stage with the situation as it is at the moment biden making very clear that he wants to be absolutely certain calling on his supporters to remain patient and to allow the poll counters to continue their work and the path to victory is looking much clearer for the harris bides in campaign what are their next stand. Well yes it is very much clearer for them obviously a projected win in pennsylvania will put them over the top that will mean that joe biden will be the next president. Of the ways there are the roads that biden can go to end up with victory in this campaign as well far more than that that had donald trump has but what joe biden says is going to happen is that he and his running mate Camila Harris are beginning to work already they are already sitting down meeting experts for example how to counter the pandemic hes making quite clear that they are starting work at this particular time and they want to move in hes confident that he will get a victory at the end of this process but they want to move in running and hes preparing for that now no doubt whatsoever that hes already setting up a Transition Team but here comes the problem its going to be a potentially bruising transition particularly given the stance of the trumpet ministration donald trump showing no signs that hes going to accept the result when it does come and certainly giving those signs of any offered cooperation during this transition period which would be a major issue for biden and for couple of harris as they attempt to forge a new administration and to transition into next year ok mike hanna there bring us up to date from wilmington delaware thank you very much. And Election Officials say theres yet to be any evidence voting irregularities that Donald TrumpsRepublican Party says legal teams have been sent to 4 states to investigate. We have seen some discrepancies in michigan and some irregularities that deserve investigation democrats and the media spent for years and millions of taxpayer dollars talking about a russian hoax on the grounds of Election Integrity now with just over 48 hours after polls have closed in an actual election for president they want to ignore clear irregularities russia call states as one and the selection we will not stand for that every candidate in every office from president down to the local level has a legal right to challenge irregularities that occur in the process of canvassing ballots we intend to ensure that every lawful voter has their vote counted in accordance with the law that observers are granted the access they are due under state law and that any irregularities that have occurred whether by a malicious attack intent or incompetence are fully investigated to the fully fullest extent allowed under the law lets get more now from rosslyn jordan who joins us now from washington d. C. But we havent heard from trying to wreck. No we have not heard from the president we did see him in the Briefing Room on thursday evening where he made those highly inaccurate and inflammatory comments about the safety and veracity of the u. S. Electoral process but he also should note that he likes to appear on twitter and hes made a number of statements which twitter moderators have deemed to be inaccurate or flat out lies and so they have basically cashiered those tweets and it may just be that he decided that he was getting tired of being moderated by the web site so youre right we have not seen much from the president what we have seen are his lawyers and his outside advisers talking about the need to continue to push for an end to ballot counting in those battleground states mainly because with every passing hour it seems that the president falls farther and farther behind joe biden his democratic rival. The president of course. The case against that hes willing to to litigate quite heavily. Campaign lawyers say several of these battleground states. But rosas the reply and then please if this list occasion fails. Well if there is a plan the white house or the Trump Campaign have not made those details plain what has been coming out in news reports overnight here on the east coast is that apparently theres a criticism of the president s son in law and Senior Adviser jared cushion or apparently cushion or pull together a legal team before the election in case of any problems with the ballot counting but there is already real concern that perhaps cushion or was not up to the job because most of the cases that have been brought in state courts or in low level federal courts have been dismissed because the judge has decided either the claims or the demands are specious or that there is a lack of evidence and basically theres no point in trying to proceed with the case because theres nothing there to actually prosecute so those rumors are already flying around it is worth noting that david bossie who is a well known conservative activist and lawyer here in washington has now been hired by the Trump Campaign but whether or not he can bring forward cases that judges are willing to entertain thats a whole separate other question ok roselyn joins in that bringing us the very latest from washington d. C. For i thank you. Still to come here on aljazeera and the escalation in ivory coast prosecutors and i see charges against opposition leaders to lection war by violence. In the 1st mosque in centuries opens in the greek capital offense well have the reaction of the Muslim Community there. Hello once again the bulk of europe is quite unsettled pressure is high thats not true for our beer is a circulation off the coast there and for both portugal and spain its going to be a wet weekend the rain actually cross the pyrenees and give something in the way of downpours to the cut does your for example but certainly france is looking west wet in the west everywhere else quiet start though cold and then low teens by day the exception again is going to be the bottom right hand corner of the jane and affecting not part of africa particularly libya with on shore breeze and wet weather and showers have not left portugal in fact they returned during sunday so lets go to the bottom right hand side then weve got the rest of saturday to see very windy weather blowing of the bosphorus down the gin affecting greece crete with showers building to pretty big ones on the storms for western side of egypt and a good part of libya east the gulf are set to books forecast specifically this one here when we need for saturday and sunday and even monday start off that way for the south but still in north africa the showers are crept around the corner once again through liberia and beyond and thatll last i think all weekend. As donald trump been good for America Everything is in disarray the media of course taken every bit of bait that they can to demolish the fact that america has been a force for good in the world. Half of the American People get inspiration from him and the other half cringe you weekly take on us tone it takes and society thats the bottom line whats most important to me is talking to people understanding what theyre going through here and i just we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. This is al jazeera by the off the top stories for you this hour democratic nominee joe biden has addressed the nation in his home state of delaware late on friday hes still not stick clearing victory but says he will eventually be victorious the race remains a 2 calls to call this hour but as donald trump trails behind he has value its the fights the results and in his hands in the key battleground states a pennsylvania georgia and nevada. Where the celebrations have been held by biden supporters across the country rallies also been held back as a dog from the supporters have been responding to the president s claims that democrats are trying to steal the white house. Well lets take a course a look at one of those key battleground states georgia where joe biden is currently got a narrow lead joshua metal is the associate professor of Political Science at Clayton State University and joins us now from our end georgia good to have you with us here on out to syria we tend to think of georgia as a deep red states the kind of state that republicans. Can rely on so why do you think the democrats are suddenly competitive there. Oh thank you for having me on georgia has been shifting for the last few years from about 2 dozen 14 to the current time the number one major reason here is the growth of atlanta being one of the Fastest Growing cities in the country and the move a high number of africanamericans to the atlanta area and the suburbs of atlanta ever really sort of shifting the demographics of the state and of the voting population what youre seeing here is it urban areas are but are blue and thats the population of the state is so lets make amends they are only absent to city i think that georgia is about to turn blue if this demographic shift continues to happen. Or is there more of an argument that this is really a bit of a reaction i want to offer reaction to donald trump. Well and Political Science really kind of sailing a lets split splits take this 10 time on Election Night times well use a little retrospect but because this has been going on for about 45 years now. I think theres going to be a bigger shift and its going to be in play that state in play more often than we expect but there are places and then southern georgia and the moral areas of that was Trump Country it is deep red so its going to take some time but as long as the population keeps growing in these urban areas they Atlanta Savannah along this youre going to start seeing the shift and its going to be very hard for those rural areas to make up for the big urban populations that are voting democratic and in the bigger cities and that its not just. Said that georgia was also in the focus a couple years ago when. The candidate for governor in 2018 Stacey Abrams really had quite an impact there how important civil do you think that race is has on the election as it stands. Its been hearing. That only a very good bit were you supposed. To come back close to your waning. The governors position really National Attention is all about what was happening here in georgia but there was the shift and it really brought a lot of energy for the democrats of the state to see that this is real this theres a potential here to shift and then with her shift in to get out the vote drives and they cant age to help disenfranchise voters and start suppression here in atlanta so this election youre seeing what happened it was huge it was a it was a game changer so no one can really undercut him out of iraq or in words and greatest abrams deserves for whats been going on a lot less. Ok joshuas im afraid were out of time but great to get your thoughts and your analysis on the state of georgia a crucial battleground state which could prove pivotal in the selection thank you.
