1000000 blue kroft welcome to the program its been over 24 hours since voting ended in the u. S. President ial election there remains no clear winner democratic challenger joe biden and President Donald Trump along with america and the rest of the world are waiting for results as ballot counting continues in a few key battleground states this election is demanding patience and calm from everyone but the president is not on board with that hes already claimed victory and hes alleging voter fraud without any evidence for that joe biden meanwhile has called for patience but his supporters are confident that hes on track to win. So heres a look at the results with one significant change that weve added recently our figures show biden currently on to 64 to the president s 214 electoral votes puts joe biden just 6 Electoral College votes away from that magic 270 needed to win the presidency now in the state of michigan the counting is over and biden has won that state getting its 16 electoral votes and it was a close victory there the win in michigan puts him just 6 electoral votes shy because if you look at neighboring state wisconsin our figures also show that hes won that state and its 10 electoral votes thin margin there as well going out west nevada earlier biden needs just those 6 votes which nevada can give him if biden maintains his lead in nevada which is very very narrow that would give him enough Electoral College votes to become the next president of the United States but counting is still going on there and also in arizona right next door the data showing biden ahead but it is a very tight race there is much more counting left to do and lets take it back over to the east coast georgia in the southeast its 16 electoral votes or going towards trump but that margin is narrowing ever so slightly the Trump Campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging that in eligible late absentee ballots may have been added to the count again with very questionable evidence if any at all the counting is still ongoing but the path to victory appears to have narrowed significantly for donald trump. Lets get borne all of them with stacy bivins my colleague here in the studio we just heard all of these numbers you know last night things were not looking so good for joe biden now things are looking a little more hopeful for him why that change well this is the result of those mail and votes being finally counted and their earlier book early voter ballots being taken into account but when you look at this a little bit deeper it also is the result of this strong 4 ground swell of people who have been working on the get out the vote and one of the people who is really responsible for that in the state of georgia is stacy abrams who was the 1st africanamerican woman to be a nominee for a gubernatorial ticket and a lot of people believe that she did not win because it was clear because it was a result of Voter Suppression so there was this groundswell of people and on the ground activity i say that because this shows how the democrats are lacking in a ground game now theyre able to benefit because of what stacy abrams said not so much about what theyve done on the ground and theyve been suffering a little bit with the africanamerican vote which has always been a stronghold and it still is i mean thats why were seeing so many votes come in and support of joe biden but heres the thing. If youre africanamerican and you voted for the democrats your entire life you start to wonder what are you getting out of it and is there any difference between a party that tries to suppress your vote and a party that lives or exaggerates to get your vote and so if you feel like both parties are the same or poor people are more willing to give the Republican Party a try and thats why even though its ever so slight this is why donald trump overall has more of an africanamerican following its not major but its something that democrats have to look at you have to as my grandfather say dance with the person who brought you you have to show loyalty to the group thats always been there for you and of joe biden gets into office this is what he has to consider sounds like a wise man and those those slight margins is really all it takes sometimes if that election after the elections and you know donald trump is really evidence of that you know hes been unpopular low favor ability ratings and yet still he performed very strongly in this election what explains that theres several reasons 1st i believe that there are certain people who are as i would say cynical enough to be able to overlook the racism and massage any because they benefit from the tax cuts and its all about the bottom line and when you look at the even jellicoe some a lot of them are one issue voters and so theyre happy with his stance on abortion and there are other people no matter how vile a lot of democrats find his language they really are. And like him because it resonates with them they have somebody who speaks to their voice and this just goes to show how deeply divided the country is and its not a huge divide its almost 5050. 00 so this is what the democrats have to kind of accept that this wasnt going to this isnt the referendum on donald trump that they thought it was going to be and this is worth many people are so depressed because they thought oh this is going to be a landslide hes on all of these things all these policies that we dont agree with on the climate he said so many things on race but at the end of the day its still a tight race right and we saw that with the polls again showing much more favorable for biden then then actually came out to be said to stacy bivins for from our u. S. Election team thanks very much for those thoughts pleasurable. And just a short while ago joe biden expressed confidence about the state of the race to see address supporters from his home state of delaware. And now after a long night of county its clear that were one you know states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency im not here to clear that weve won but i am here to report the count is finished we believe we will be the winners almost counted. We have won wisconsin 520000 votes virtually the same margin the President Trump won that state 4 years ago in michigan lead by over 35000 votes and its growing substantially bigger margin the president won michigan 2016 michigan will complete his vote soon maybe as early as the day and i feel very good about pennsylvania. Virtually all the remaining ballots to be counted are cast by mail and weve been winning 78 percent of the votes by mail in pennsylvania we flipped arizona and the 2nd district of nebraska of special significance to me is that weve won with the majority of the American People and every indication is that that majority will grow of the popular vote lead of nearly 3000000 votes and every indication is that will grow as well indeed senator harris and i are on track to win more votes than any ticket in the history of this country that ever won the presidency and vice presidency over 70000000 votes. And with donald trump seeking to launch legal challenges to the results the issue of a legit vote rigging may play a role in deciding who will become president regardless of the lack of evidence our reporter michelle elocutionary spoke with the head of the o. S. C. E. Election Observer Mission to the United States or so the gut check who said trumps allegations are undermine public trust in the electoral process and best i got say the president is alleging that ballots are being found all over the place to help do biden win these elections when you look at states like pennsylvania where its coming down to the wire any of these allegations found this in what you found ive not come across even. A particular singular incident in pennsylvania we have come across one incident of a postal worker dumping a bag of post including ballots on their way to voters but what is important we have not found evidence of systemic wrongdoing in the processing of postal ballots now in your statement you are also criticizing the president for undermining democracy undermining the faith in the institutions so come on say that donald trump harmed american democracy in this election thats a very far reaching statement but he he he in his statements he has undermined the voters confidence in the electoral process that is a fact we have that on record and the challenges that are faced here in the United States is rebuilding that trust in the system hopefully the work that weve been doing here very fact base will also serve in some measure to reassure people that how this election actually was conducted and that we did not find systemic evidence of wrongdoing do you believe that we will find out the result through actual resign. Its been declared in the american courtrooms that i have no idea. However however this princess promises will be followed through to explain what his vote counting look like on the ground we have stuff and simons in philadelphia to tell us more about that stuff on tell us more 1st where you are. In the middle of philadelphia i am at the city hole right there and right behind it is actually the Convention Center the philadelphia or the pennsylvania Convention Center where the vote count actually happens those vote counts is the mail in ballots we were ballots we were talking about it but you can see here National Guard troops as well as vehicles behind me police was here because that was also the scene year earlier today of protests of pro count the vote protest a lot of people out here saying like hey lets not have President Trump all the administration or anybody else say lets stop the vote count those votes are in there theyre cast they now have to be voted and this what they were demonstrating for so here is where the rubber meets the road where the tight spot here is where donald trump wants the vote count to stop for obvious reasons because he thinks thats maybe maybe the possibility is there that joe biden will have the majority of those already cast mail in ballots for him and that could endanger his lead here in pennsylvania which is certainly what joe biden has said and deftly why he wants those folks to keep getting counted so how do officials there ensure that the vote count is complete and fair and transparent. Well transparency is key of course fairness is key also and house is scared to eat well checking double checking and checking again and counting and having people who are doing this not for the 1st time really being involved in this i mean vote counting for the United States one of the biggest democracy in the world is not a new thing they dont have to really learn number one number 2 both parties have have observers present in the Convention Center and looking at this so they claim of the Trump Administration and going to courts and say like all just please stop this theres not enough unity for us to observe and to control if this is really done accurately is actually false. And be fighting this for nothing so lets zoom out give us the big picture why is pennsylvania so important for both campaigns but especially donald trump. Well with the total vote count now for trump after michigan wisconsin arizona was called and into the corner of joe bidens campaign and into his vote d count pennsylvania its critical for ford for the president to get injuries going this is 18 votes here this is a lot of a lot of mileage in his count so he has to he has to secure the lead here. However possible to get those on this and then of course as you all know as we all know hes trying they will see Court Decisions in terms of arizona recount nevada recount maybe michigan wisconsin recounts and so on this will be this will be the ground 0 here for for the truck and train and for his presidency and hes keenly aware of this and simon is there in philadelphia watching the vote counting in pennsylvania there 20 electoral votes thank you very much.

On their Natural Habitats keep shrinking as we chop down more forests and despite the threat of extinction they often end up on our dinner plates the rarer the better for some the higher the price for poaches. But dining on endangered species can cost you a health. Zoonotic diseases aids ebola and then you corona virus they all jumped from wild animals to us. And ill do it again. Of a 19 broke out at a wild animal market in china there were International Calls for the closure of such markets but experts warn a band could drive the trade underground on its changing its hygiene ill talk to an expert about that in a moment 1st some more background. What ours zoonotic diseases their diseases caused by pathogens carried by nonhuman animals that spread to people 6 out of every 10 Infectious Diseases are believed to be zoonotic. The pathogens can be where iris is a bacteria parasites or funky. Many of the diseases they cause in people are mild but some are serious and even deadly. The bubonic plague tuberculosis malaria and ebola are zoonotic diseases that have killed countless millions of people. Mosquitoes and bats but also cats and dogs and many other species carry pathogens that can make people sick. But often they dont make the animals that host them sick transmission can occur via bite or through eating the flesh of a carrier or contact with its blood or feces. Zoonotic diseases can spread fast and far if the pathogens adapt to be transmitted from person to person thats the case with the Novel Coronavirus. One hypothesis is that penguins were the intermediaries that transported the Novel Coronavirus from its natural host bats to humans which markets where a lot of wild animals are sold are considered a potential site of transmission of zoonotic disease pathogens some have been closed for that reason. Infectious diseases from animals are a growing problem that probably has to do with humans encroaching on animal habitats forests are cleared for timber or to make space for farms or towns humans and animal species are no longer far apart this offers opportunities for pathogens to make the leap. There are more than 200. 00 known zoonotic diseases but there are countless germs out there to which humans have no immunity are new devastating diseases lurking to prevent them making the jump to humans we need to protect wild animals and their habitats. Colas how to louis is deputy head of the institute of epidemiology at germanys great place enough to institute also a veterinary epidemiologist just how dangerous odd zoonotic diseases. Well soon adjectives these are sort of in in our human nature already for many many years of many centuries because were going to diseases as i. Have heard the church and humans anything intimate and do you just think pattis that about 60 percent of all human Infectious Diseases they reach in age from animals they come from animals and over the last few years a new emerging diseases its actually 75 things are all there you look at an incentive thats quite a lot of 10 knots or another has a chance to reach out there champ between animals and humans and it is not surprising because the early humans get out of the Animal Kingdom so they are for all the peasants and the challenge of viruses bacteria and so on they dont distinguish between animals and humans and there is no special area between animals and so is your noses are we actually to most of the scenes that speech. And a lot of this will noses like we be now think arcs and scott comes to hona and then dad of other cases where there was this which we have already complex and men have to take measures against like rabies or to look in arms is to say there was this all there was a time when animals is all those diseases were around there all this that was at the once which will cheer in the match 2 years. Spirit who was blind and she will begin to see him be evil are they all are each going to from animals so what do you say when will we now sharing a lot more of those diseases with the Animal Kingdom. Yes you all this she had a lot of interrupt. And now our reasoning is that we have more to believe all of this is because 1st of all the other war you can take to the animals its much more you also go into the pain of trade to habitats over before they can be tested the animals while everyone for whatever so our politic possibilities between animals and humans match has been dave and he has gathered in addition to also have the trade and our travels all of the of like the contrary there to feel like were all now we dont like to live the way that it was in one day and all different weaknesses so theyre going to credit check cause ability is much higher than it was ever before so what do we need to do what do we need to do to prevent zoonosis i think the year when you dont give a living that its almost as i think you have to and as you say we have to try to prevent them and i think one key measure its really cheating and i messed up so i work in the whole interval they call it. As a critique its a replies to you really have to. Know that they dont have such direct contact or close to take what i specially is keeps out of there is actually missed debt per episode quite a lot its just making our problems chile theres a lot more we need to do to be proactive before these diseases jump from animal to human though i mean whats the solution on that front theres that mean less factory farming does it mean chopping down list jungles and forests. Well you could mean almost its needed. Less and less for us but it also could mean being quote more ive been able to see that we can bring it into the season. Being our best and europe. Can from other ecosystems be out there in my brain
