U. S. Population remaining beach. Oh im terry martin good to have you with us facing growing likelihood of defeat in the u. S. President ial election dont trump has again claimed without evidence that he won and that democrats are trying to steal the election from him in fact trump is losing ground 0 as counting continues in 4 swing states that remain on decided lets take a closer look at those the latest figures show biden with 264 Electoral College votes overall in president with 214. Get down to the states the georgia where 16 electoral votes are up for grabs there its an extremely tight race biden and trump still neck and neck with 99 percent of votes counted the latest count has shown the former Vice President less than 2000 votes behind the president and catching up. In pennsylvania thats the biggest yet to be decided with 20 electoral votes donald trump currently holding a narrow lead but that gap is constantly narrowing and the remaining mail in ballots are expected to paper joe biden well in arizona votes are still being counted to the a. P. News agency which is our main source of election data those are the numbers youre seeing from them a. P. Has called that state for biden but most other Media Outlets have not called it yet 11 College Votes at stake there which were including in bidens count but again that could change and finally nevada nevada joe but joe biden there currently with a slim lead in nevada the state carries the 6 votes he needs to win theres still around 190000 votes left count there with most in democratic favored areas so with voting still being tallied Donald Trumps path to victory is looking increasingly difficult states in red or blue on the map youre seeing have been told by a. P. For trump or biden states in lighter blue or pink or leaning toward biden or trump respectively and any one state will give biden the win trump however needs a combination of states to hang on. So facing tough all its trump has once again addressed the nation stating multiple falshood sense saying hes being robbed of a 2nd term the Trump Campaign has launched legal action claiming fraud trying to stop the count in some states state Election Officials say there is 0 evidence of wrongdoing to the contrary they say counting is proceeding smoothly across the country well heres some of what the president had to say. Challenge joe and every democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes because they talk about votes and i think they should use the word legal legal votes we want every legal vote counted and i want every legal vote counted we want openness and transparency no secret count rooms no mystery ballots no illegal votes being cast after election day you have election day and the laws are very strong and that you have an election and they dont want votes cast after election day and they want the process to be an honest one and so important we want an honest election and we want an honest count. And we want honest people working back there because its a very important job so thats the way this country is going to win thats the way the United States will win and we think we will win the election very easily we think theres going to be a lot of litigation as we have so much evidence so much proof and its going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land well see a reporter on an s. If is in washington and following all of this he joins us now i mean we just heard President Trump there talking about illegal votes and claiming that the election has been stolen from him how are those comments going down in america. Well of course trumps supporters those who voted for him are looking at his chances of a 2nd term slipping away in front of their eyes and theyre reinvigorated by his claims that hes going to be able to challenge the Election Results that theres a reason for him to fight this in courts but its interesting to see the reaction from the rest of the country from the majority who voted against donald trump but also from the media 3 Major Networks cut away from some of those comments he was making reminding their audience that these were baseless claims that jeopardized the electoral process so even fox news which is a major Media Network that is very favorable to donald trump very often has repeated that there are no theres no basis for these claims that the election is being stolen from here so a very divided reaction to these claims that hes making. I understand that election protests are being reported in a number of places in the u. S. Can you tell us more about what those demonstrations are about. So exactly right there about these comments that trump has made so a lot of his supporters have gone to places like in arizona where theyre counting ballots to protest that they need to count continue to count the ballots because there in arizona trump is gaining an advantage from these votes that are just being counted now so absentee ballots and things like that whereas in michigan where biden was declared the winner theyre going to have gone the polling places and demand that the count be called off but on the other side biden supporters or just people who are worried about trumps comments about not accepting the results are taking to the streets and demanding that every vote should be counted that we do this election like weve done every year that we count all the ballots absentee mail in everything like that until we have a final result and then determine the winner of the presidency ok so weve heard from President Trump one thing he did say that is definitely true is that the office of president is very important another man want to become president course joe biden hes been speaking lets listen to what he its a democracy sometimes missing it sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governors thats been the envy of the world we continue to feel. We continue to feel very good about where things stand we have no doubt that when the count is tradition or harrison i will be declared the winners so i ask everyone to stay calm all the people to stay calm the process is work the count is being completed and you will know very soon. Joe biden theyre saying hes on track to win sounding optimistic and when will we know whos actually won what state should we be watching out for over the next few hours. Well georgia is one that is promising to have its votes done very soon over about 99 percent of the votes have been counted there and its down to a margin of under 2000 votes at this point so very close and that would a would be a state that either biden could flip for the democrats or trump could secure for himself so were watching georgia right now and thats going to be coming in next pennsylvania has most of its ballots counted but in the other states pennsylvania nevada and arizona the electoral officials are saying everybody has to be patient that theyre not going to announce any results until all the votes have been counted because the margins are so close so those are the states that are going to be were going to watch right now pennsylvania of course in trumps favor but as more votes are being counted that could flip toward biden and thats one of the main reasons why biden is optimistic because because if he wins pennsylvania he wins the presidency very exciting indeed i mean as if theyre in washington thank you very much. Are peter a little a doll is also following this of course very closely hes with me in the studio to take a closer look at some of those claims that President Trump has been making lets 1st listen in to more of what the president had to say and ive been talking about mail in voting for a long time its its really destroyed our system its a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they arent by nature but they become corrupt its still easy they want to find out how many votes they need and then they seem to be able to fly them they wait and wait and then they find. Theyre casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail in ballots calling in a corrupt system talking about secret count rooms extraordinary from u. S. President what are we to make of these claims you know if i could be honest with you terry i kind of wish i knew where a lot of this was coming from i mean i think there are no secret count rooms both parties have of servers during the elections the. Campaign has that also in pennsylvania for instance that they would like servers during the top elation process the state has agreed to that in theory but warned that it might slow down the process you know we are these claims of mystery ballots of illegal votes officials and. Observers have both said that this election has been remarkably smooth the spike taking place in the middle of endemic reports of irregularities have been absolutely minimal in the mistakes that have come up have largely been corrected quite swiftly. You know were looking at an election thats seen the highest turnout in over century as i said its taken place the middle of endemic which is forced a lot of states to. You know come up with. Different ways to try to make this process a bit more smoother for instance relying more on and also of 1st of all obviously to have people stay safe during the demick so it is taken longer because we are looking at immense backlog of mail in votes. So theres nothing unusual about any of the things that weve been seeing these past days i think whats probably true where is that were looking now to at an incumbent president who currently has a vero very narrow path to victory much more narrow than joe biden at this stage it looks like and whos essentially making up you know trumped up allegations to maybe say faced and to cast doubt on the integrity of a perfectly fair democratic process all this is what i talked about the process the because president tripp you can understand if hes afraid hes going to lose hes getting a bit desperate but the things hes saying cast doubt on the entire american electoral system hes saying its corrupt and hes essentially accusing the american electoral process of being unfair and corrupt what does that was sort of message does that give to the American People and to the other people the Republican Party can they sign off on that well weve seen some republicans starting to distance themselves the governor of maryland for instance later hogan. Coming out yesterday saying that from these to stop casting doubt on this i mean keep in mind this is not just about trump were looking at a lot of republican states right now were looking at senate races were looking at local races does that mean that all those Election Results are illegitimate as well the republicans have over performed in congress does that mean that we need recounts there as well that though those votes no longer matter i dont think trump would agree to that so i mean where does this leave us it leaves us in a process where. Immense the chaotic process were looking at. Absolutely essential that whoever comes out the tories of this process is considered a legitimate presidency trump is currently doing everything in his power to undermine that but the genesee and keep in mind he could still win does that make him an illegitimate president remarkable questions absolutely i think peter little thank you very much for your analysis peter. Well turning now to the corona virus demick germany has for the 1st time surpassed more than 20000 infections in a single day or the 21 and a half 1000 infections were recorded in the past 24 hours according to data released on friday 116 people died from cope at 19 in the same period pushing the death toll in germany beyond 11000. Factions are increasing the reproduction rate of the virus is declining that means the virus is spreading. As this virus is spread is slowing down a trend authorities hope will continue after the introduction of walk down measures this week. Well many countries are seeing covert cases outstripping. When the pandemic arrived earlier this year populations have accepted the return of restrictions on public life but elsewhere there is growing pushback which has come to be known as fatigue. Milans lot down begins on friday its just one of the areas in the red zone which brings with it the strictest rules residents will only be allowed to leave their homes for work to exercise or to shop for essential over a quarter of italys population mostly in the north are affected. The government believes rapidly rising virus numbers have left them no will turn to if. We understand the discomfort this causes its causing psychological suffering but we must resist working to mitigate the negative effects these restrictions have on the economy on citizens incomes on society. After the large number of deaths and months long lockdown in the spring theres a level of understanding on the streets of milan. Kaname and health dont go well together the virus is here but we also need to think about the shopkeepers. John the great ok c n n the measures overall are appropriate lets get through this now as well as we can. Meanwhile in englands clashes broke out between rafters and the police in some cities on the evening before a 4 week lockdown from thursday restaurants pubs shops except for essential supplies and gyms have been closed schools universities under nurseries remain open we dont want to go back to quiet before theyre not ready for that we might be forced into it but governor. So. The bank of england has said it will do everything it can to support the economy its increased its Economic Stimulus Program by an additional 166000000000. 00 euros measures that are unlikely to brighten a gloomy economic picture. Denmark has announced it will eliminate the countrys entire population of farmed mix after mutated credit strains were reported among the animals more than 15000000 will be culled in some cases the mutated virus also infected people medical experts fear that could jeopardize the effectiveness of future covert vaccines. There are more than 1300 main farms in denmark many of them are in the minister palette of the office including piano paid arsons the virus reached his farm in Early September he clearly remembers that day. And going to cornea it was like a wave passing through the stables it began at one end with the animals sneezing and losing their appetite and it kept spreading. But one week later on the following weekend it was over the animals were healthy again. Then mr reagan. Bianna paris and also contracted the virus now to be on the safe side all of his 10000 mink will be culled he never imagined that denmarks mink farms could develop into hotspots. It is thought that the corona virus stems from the animal world it is believed to have 1st jumped from a bad species to humans via the pangolin in china. On denmarks make farms it is now jumping back to animals from humans. Once a mink is infected the virus spreads to almost all of the animals on a farm in less than 2 weeks viral and just are concerned about this extensive transmission and as from scarves team analyzed the mutation on the mink farms and found it matched the virus found in some people in the region who fell ill. So. We can see exactly how the virus spreads it comes from humans it is transmitted to minks where it spreads on mass and mutates in a manner we dont see and humans and then it jumps back to the human population and thus to the rest of the world. Every 3rd corona case in Northern New England can already be traced back to the mink farms exactly how it spread is still unclear but with ever more mutations in circulation especially those from animals the pandemic will become difficult to stop. Can survive. A vaccine could lose its effectiveness and the people who have been ill might not be immune to the mutation so we would never achieve herd immunity no one. And that is why culling task forces are now rapidly traveling through denmark the animals are killed with Carbon Monoxide in boxes like this one theyre then immediately incinerated along with their valuable fur protective gear is mandatory as any animal might be infected in here growing we have to kill 39000 monks on this farm will be busy for 2 and a half days we have 30 workers 5 vets and a standby team of 5 to 10 men here if you if. They will need at least another 4 weeks to work their way to all the farms a total of 160. 00 farms are affected and there are suspicious cases on many more millions of minks have yet to be called.
