A number of states are suspicious. People trying to divert contemned from claims raises divisions and questions of americas heralded democratic system well some people on the streets without reaction. Would go oh mr gold oil you know. You got to work out what they get but if people get married to people trash is a direct threat to our democracy from these riots and he needs to find out what hes fighting for because to resign kind of fronts in this country. A very warm welcome im mickey aaron and youre watching on t. V. Special coverage of the 2020 u. S. President ial election its certainly a nail biter as the vote counting has resumed in some of the key states in the race for the american presidency. Democratic contender joe biden has expressed certainty hes on course to beat donald trump stopping short of declaring victory here just his supporters of the city of wilmington and the state of delaware youll have a final declaration. But the numbers its clear choice a clear story were going to win this race track to over 300 electoral votes Electoral College watch so that was joe biden speaking earlier and this is how it looks at the moment biden has the backing of 264 electors that if our zone is included there is some say its too early to call the election there but with the grand canyon state by that i mean its takes more electoral points to achieve the 270 threshold for victory a trunk that stands at 214 it still remains a very tight race though gaps closed in different battleground states on sunday but the anticipation could last for days if not weeks the former Vice President leads in nevada though officials there say they cant could continue until thursday and the state of pennsylvania biden is less than one percent ahead of trump in georgia biden has taken the lead by 0 point one percent with 99 percent of the ballots counted though the margins there are so small that officials have announced a recount total trump claims multiple cases of electoral fraud in places teams filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and nevada they claim a lack of access to the vote count for observers ballots coming in after the deadline on voting machine and authentication errors some of the claims have already been turned down in nevada michigan and georgia but trump insists the fight is not over and says he could take legal action to the supremes cause. Joe biden should not wrongfully claim the office of president i could make that claim also Legal Proceedings are just now beginning i had such a big lead in all of these states late into Election Night only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by perhaps these leads will return as our Legal Proceedings move forward we discuss the contested vote counts without that. There always is some fraud and a usually happens in the major cities and its usually where theres one Political Party control of her political machine and people have quotas to meet about how many votes theyre supposed to produce to keep their jobs in the local government or their contracts and so thats kind of what happens it becomes very difficult once those ballots are in the box to to invalidate them and so whats what poll watchers are for and why we try to have poll watchers everywhere to prevent those improper ballots from being counted the problem this year is so many ballots being cast by mail were done in private without any witnesses there is always when these recounts that happen there will be challenges about what Legal Standard was applied to how to count those votes and those issues probably will be taken up by the Supreme Court in the mail in ballots that were received after election day were in the less than 5000 from what i saw. Biden is going to win the state of pennsylvania by over 50000 maybe even over 100000 votes so the fact that that 5000 votes might be challenge is not going to be statistically significant and the courts wont even hear it unless its enough to make a difference in the election is about 99. 9 percent if not more clear that biden has won this election is going to probably win 300 to 6 electoral votes so hes not going to just win it by a little bit is going to win it by probably 5000000 popular votes and 3 percent or 4 percent in the lead in terms of the percentage of the vote in every election there needs to be some type of transparency and accountability and with elections a really close i didnt believe and we can have recounts now do i think is going to change anything now its what will probably happen his job amoco to get markets which is even bright for i suspect. Let the people have their say i have no qualms with their still going to me. Rallies are continuing for both candidates across the u. S. The vote counting lays on claims of voter fraud have raised divisions and even questions about the us system of democracy we call reaction from people in new york. With the whole mess go annoy you know. Youve got to do what better for the people the American People you know just what the best for america people and what the white person is in a sea thats going to do good for the people of america that you trust is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody went for and this country well i think is already proven himself to be a threat to democracy my goal is that we can get past. This all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country theres no oath for it at this point even though hes going to be lawsuits which is probably going to delay the presidency trying hes frightened he needs to find out what hes fighting for because there is some kind of fronts in this country so we need to make sure there is full democracy i think theres a murderer who who remains my whole point is that i hope where when the people have freedom job. Maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want so are the proud at us and like tool system is being challenged at the very highest level and American Allies and adverse arrays alike have been reacting to uncertainty of americas vote a correspondent delia trying to reports. Of all the adjectives to describe democracy which stands for giving the people the right to choose who is in charge the man who stood up to take over the white house didnt pick fair stable or strong democracy is sometimes messy its sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance and the envy of the world just messy or its just gotten way too messy in his country we have received reports of many irregularities we believe that there are good voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud Trump Campaign says theyre going to court the biden Campaign Says its ready for court fights protests bite from supporters and a series of vote fraud allegations by the president himself trump will go to war over this election and that is dangerous for this country there is quite a list of things appearing as cracks in the system take the mail in voting in times of covert when the nation was meant to rely on it at one point the Postal Service warned it couldnt cope the president flushed the method altogether saying it would lead to a rigged poll if you read some of these pieces there have been plenty of such the media has been questioning the confidence in us democracy europes been watching the mess in the wings with raised eyebrows but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise i would receive are in danger it was opening in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the United States its important the result is the accepted by everyone is easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be. Trumps late night speech puts a question mark over his possible 2nd term in office it is hard to imagine what the 2nd sound would look like when the president directly code for the abolition of the rules of democracy hes cool to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy heres a voice of concern from allies to pat. We can say for the United States to get into turmoil and confusion because of the election is a minus for its allies and like minded countries but perhaps the most fascinating thing to observe is the smear by americas foes after so many times washington told them how wrong things are with their elections. What a spectacle one says this is the most fragile and election in u. S. History who says that the president whos currently enough this is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u. S. Elections and u. S. Democracy are we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States and we hate it when they pretend to give lessons in democracy to the world disputes scarce and the refusal of Election Results by certain candidates was supposed to take place in developing countries where political conditions were not stable and definitely not in the country like the us but things have changed all these have occurred on the us and the us is not synonymous to a stable civilized and consensus based society and more now just for a giggle let me read out one tweet as an official one country a calls on country b. S. Leaders to show commitment to the democratic process and rule of law we urge all parties groups and individuals to engage in inclusive dialogue to find Peaceful Solutions to their disagreements to heal National Divisions full stop its a tweet by the u. S. Embassy country a in ivory coast country b. From the 4th oh the irony theres a reason a lot of western european nations stopped doing mail in ballots a long time ago france stopped in 1975 because the process is rife with fraud and i have to tell you i think its incumbent upon the trunk campaign to say al gore took 37. 00 days to litigate florida were going to go litigate and were going to demand recount some were going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin and michigan in pennsylvania in nevada in arizona we want to get to where we have free and Fair Elections where every legal vote is counted in a trustworthy and transparent way the American People deserve it i was wishing and hoping that last night trump was going to look into the camera and say im demanding a free and Fair Election that the American People can try. Not for myself but for you because you deserve it and i think the scary thing in all of this is at the end of the day no matter who ultimately wins half of the population of america is going to think the election has been stolen that is a very dangerous place for us to be in as a country so counting and swing state devadatta is being criticized for taking too long government officials insist theyre pushing accuracy over speed in the face of an unprecedented flood of mail in ballots but its that being mercilessly mocked online d. The vote count is happening under the shadow of coronaviruses the country keeps breaking records with more than 100000 new cases a day on americas 20 chavez reports. The u. S. Marking another milestone as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold a tight grip on the nation the war according to Johns Hopkins university the number of daily new confirmed kovan 1000 cases surging 45 percent over the past 2 weeks to a record 7 day average of 86352 while the number of deaths are up 15 percent now averaging 846 deaths every day now there are many groups that are seeing record number. And we have more than now. So this is a very serious situation room and it looks worse for the u. S. Now has the highest totals in the world while infections are increasing in nearly every state on wednesday texas reported more than 1000 new coven 1000 cases and 126 deaths while in missouri nebraska and oklahoma hospitals are hitting record highs experts fear dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the fact that there are very few hospital beds slapped in some parts of the country thats a sign that the care system is. Under very. Epidemic is facing. All this amid a president ial election unlike any other polls show the Public Health crisis and the economy were top concerns for Many Americans but they are competing issues that trump an biden view through drastically different lenses. While President Trump has ignored the advice of his top Health Advisors and has repeatedly downplayed the virus. And then you get better in your view democratic contender joe biden on the other hand is rarely seen without a face mask and has made Public Health during the pandemic a key issue theres a lot of things we could be doing very massive ground but the fact is that. Its just not appropriate for. A pandemic also was bending how americans vote while donald Trump Supporters said they were more likely to vote in person joe biden supporters said they were more likely to vote by mail to avoid being exposed to the deadly virus reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. Were on top of all developments in this race and well bring them to you as soon as they come in america could have any president in a matter of hours or it could take weeks on these team has you covered that with that historic moment when it happens were back after the break with more of the global headlines. Yes the smug class to protect the class so they feel very comfortable with their affiliations and associations with the institutions that grand american the highest level the permanent institutions that are always running america the matter of who is the president they have friends in the media and those friends feel smug that no matter what happens that they are protected it is dangerous to have an entrenched smug class in your society in your country because they can take liberties with the truth and project a situation that is false and put people down the wrong path. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy one from day shouldnt let it be an arms race is on off and spearing Dramatic Development is only really going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back france has apparently widened its crackdown on terror in the wake of a series of deadly attacks across the country its now counting down on those who welcome acts of terrorism even children and now say a 14 year old afghan boy has been charged every moxy allegedly made about the killing of schoolteachers samuel pasi who was beheaded by an 18 year old muslim in october but he was brutally murdered off the allegedly showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a class on free speech the teenager who commented on his death has been released but will remain under supervision its been demanded by prosecutors that he also be banned from school and from communicating with other students. There have been an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people the latest probes involve children as young as 8 many are under suspicion for interrupting a minutes silence held in memory of samuel patsy and allegedly saying his death was deserved and the weight of the tragedy more than 60 similar investigations have been opened into supporting terror the christening of new vols young people aged 12 to 16 used extremely repugnant language inspired by the Islamic State group which is very worrying we discussed with guests the spread of radicalization among young people dont think that the fact that they are minors should blind us to the extent of this problem there is a huge amount of sympathy for islamic terrorism among young people not necessarily by those with open house including by those of muslim extraction if you can inject its not going to help them because they begin to be rabid they going to be radicalized in in in the jails and the going to get even worse we have huge amounts of immigrants in france and im afraid to say that the existence of these immigrant communities is a breeding ground for islamic fundamentalism and fundamentalism is a breeding ground for terrorism and has nothing to do with terrorism you have a lot of immigrants in france you have a lot of muslim immigrants in france who are in accord with the french law with the french way of living i befriend some events which are not on. Ok with the radical islam i mean we can we sell and im here in france i have nothing to do with the radical islam and thats now the fact that immigration and immigration is part of the problem it is to some extent a cause and it has to be stopped its still continuing at a rate of several 100000. 00 a year into france and those levels are unsustainable incidentally independently of the question of islamic terrorism you have a lot of terrorism that are committed by friends people who have changed religion who have become muslim and those people are friends thats completely untrue there are no examples of french catholics muslim converts committing terrorist acts or 100 percent of the islamic terrorists who have beheaded people or killed them in other ways in france in the last few years and indeed this problem has been going on actually for decades ago 100 percent of them have either been recent immigrants war issued or they come from immigrant backgrounds like the chechen who decked decapitated the schoolteacher its not because its the radical islam is that is the cause of the problem of the problem in.
