In pennsylvania a state that will be vital to victory. I money in fade this is al jazeera life and also coming up. Nearly a 1000000 people are displaced and at least 10 dead after typhoon goni rips through the philippines. Opposition parties in georgia have refused to recognize the results of this weekends parliamentary election. And celebrating a milestone 200 miles above us marking 2 decades of travels to the International Space station. Its all down to the battleground states ahead of tuesdays u. S. President ial election donald trump is about to hold a rally in georgia hes been on a well when blitz of 5 different states. Iowa he painted more gloomy pictures of what a biden presidency could look like the terrorist plan would outlaw American Energy would at least economic bizzare for iowa wisconsin pennsylvania michigan and every other state in america your energy costs would go up at a level that youve never seen he wants to raise your taxes and you know him he has no clue hes shot ok hes got the guy has a total who you know and i know it were all trying to be nice but i know im also for a while hes not a nice guy joe biden is in pennsylvania trump won the all important swing state by less than half a percent in 2016 bought in people to come out and vote against trump this time last time donald trump ran he won the state by 44000 vote so every single vote matters the power to part of change a structure is literally your hands i dont care how hard donald trump tries there is not that citys going to do to stop this nation from voting no matter what it drives with kevin 1000 infections spiking a record 91600000 ballots have been cost the president continues to question the legitimacy of early and malin votes nationally hes still trailing biden in opinion polls but the race is tightening in the swing states escape talk correspond and he got to his live for us in miami where trump is expected to hold a late night rally that and that has been furious campaigning by the president why has he been to so many states. Well he really wants to get the message out there because whats becoming clear in the polls is that every vote will count especially in the battleground states so trump split in iowa michigan North Carolina georgia and he will arrive here in miami in florida later on remember he only just won some of those states by a very narrow margins but they were important ones to his campaign michigan is part of the u. S. Is industrial rust belt he took a couple of those states the 1st person to do so since Ronald Reagan but he is now trailing in some of those very key states so hes trying to get those people energized hes trying to get supporters out to vote if they havent already because remember more than 90000000 people have already voted early that so was about 70 percent of the entire vote that will happen in 2016 meanwhile in pennsylvania another key battleground state joe biden is really focusing on the africanamerican vote remember they were the ones the africanamerican vote in South Carolina was the one that really sealed joe bidens candidacy to run for the Democratic Party to run for president so hes been at a souls to the polls event saying look i will tackle systemic racism i remember this is a community thats been hit particularly hard by covert 19 so both of these campaigns are really trying to grab every vote because things are so close and this election may come down to just a handful of battleground states including here in florida and i need this late in the campaign is the messaging changing at all from either candidate. No its not i mean what youve got is President Trump continuing to tell everyone that this nation is turning a corner when it comes to the covert 19 pandemic of course it is not doing that more than 40 states are seeing record highs as we approach the winter months people go indoors infections are increasing but hes saying look theres a vaccine around the corner this is all going to go away meanwhile joe biden whose rallies are extremely different from President Trumps theyre all socially distance hes wearing a mask most of the time is saying look when i am president i will tackle this pandemic head on now listen to the scientists and i will end this to get the economy going again trip of course is keep saying that the disease cant be worse than the cure so 2 extremely different messages here in what will be a crucial election for those supporting joe biden this is literally an election about life and death because of the covert 19 pandemic for President Trump he has of course the incumbent running on a 4 year record that can easily be criticized but this i think will be a very tight election especially in those key battleground states and he got together for us live in miami many thanks in other news police in france have released 3 men who were arrested over the attack on a church in nice where 3 people died on this day several others remain in custody and the suspected killer is still in hospital.

A vigil has been held at the church where 3 people were killed in a knife attack in the french city of nice 3 of the men arrested have been released the suspected killer who was shot by police is in hospital. At least 10 people have been killed as typhoon goni barrels through the philippines its destroyed hundreds of homes and shops and the less force. Lets get you more on the last minute campaigning in the u. S. We can speak to travel and see who is associate professor of womens gender and sexuality studies Ohio State University joining us by skype from Columbus Ohio many thanks for speaking to us on aljazeera so the polls show that joe biden is leading trump among suburban white women by almost double figures and that was of course a group that the president won back in 2016 has he lost the support of women do you think i think there has been a considerable considerable shit in terms of his support from women i think looking at the last few years of his 1st term its important to see all of those graves that addressed women did not address womens concerns in a secular stoke the flames of sexism and sergeant through its policies and through his rhetoric and i think more women became acutely aware of what many women millions the new age when hes 60 prior to them being elected and how much do you think the womens vote is going to matter in this election. I think its still going to matter pretty intensely i think women are what voters across the Border Crossing race across ethnicity across class and in voting in president ial races and i think there will be no difference on tuesday and what weve seen in terms of early voting turnout to out the nation i think womens votes and womens voices in this election significant and we see that terms thats high in a bar more more than likely or by. Lets take a look at the black lives Massive Movement which i believe you study its been growing according to reports banking millions of dollars from a surge of donations since George Floyds death in the protests associated with that do you see this election as a test of that movement. I dont necessarily see it as a test to see bigly of that move but i do see it as an opportunity to see how the movement for black lives and gays is electoral politics and there are a long range plan that is both tied to what has happened prior to the election and what will happen after the election last lives matter has been a rate thats been tentatively been involved with engaging local communities as well as at the National Level for addressing and to blackness and racism systemic injustice and multiple forms of oppression as well as Trans National issues of injustice and so i think at the ballot what youre seeing the postwar from the black lives you have to put a stop to this one explicit form of White SupremacyWhite Nationalism fascism that we see under truck and she was a particular adversary and shes in the fight in here to get under which is what progressive and dynamic work and eyes they should be possible to be able to do. And to push beyond just what happens on tuesday but to the larger cinda of the movement for black lives in the platform thats the or do both their vision and their political agenda really interesting to get your thoughts travellin say associate professor of womens gender and sexuality studies from Ohio State University thank you for speaking to us thank you.
