After sending troops and imposing a state of emergency if the o. P. s president moves to replace the regional governments in the troubled north. And fears Foreign Workers in lebanon are at risk of abuse says a new contract to protect their rights is suspended its. But joe biden is inching ahead in the race to become the 46. 00 president s of the United States he has a narrow these over President Donald Trump in battleground states 4 days after america went to the polls the votes are still being counted and that process and several legal challenges by the Trump Campaign whereby zidan has spoken in an address to the nation saying that hes convinced he will win well hes ahead in pennsylvania pennsylvania nevada. And georgia so far by as it is projects itself 1264 Electoral College votes trump meanwhile has 214 and a record is 207 say well by the needs to win in only one of those yellow undecided states to get over the line to become president sprog reynolds reports 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 faced religions chose change over more of the same. Theyve given us a mandate for action on covert economy Climate Change systemic racist but didnt call for healing after a bitter and rancorous campaign and 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 you know i think what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on he needs to 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 nevada 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 continue 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 the where theyre planning that. 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 aljazeera los angeles well as close overnight. Hes in wilmington delaware where the Biden Campaign are based and said jamal buys in address the nation but didnt declare victory so what ahead his next steps. Well he dedicated most of that speech as we heard there to a call for calm a call for some sort of unity and to try and maybe set the scene for finding a way forward to mend whats he him and many of his followers believe trump has damaged in terms of the social fabric of u. S. Society he did obviously mention that they are very confident that theyre going to win but obviously it wouldnt make sense for him to say we have to wait for every vote to be counted and at the same time declare victory one of the more interesting points here and i guess this maybe will dictates what Biden Administration would focus on in the early days was the final part of or one of the final parts of his speech which she then tweeted out later when he was talking about the amount of people who voted he said this has given us a mandate on for action on covert the economy Climate Change and systematic racism and i think thats those are 4 key issues that really did impact people voting here in the United States Climate Change obviously being a big one but maybe not as big as the other 3 when were talking about covert the economy and systematic racism which has been. Brought to the forefront particularly on the ministration of donald trump but something thats been pretty consistent obviously for decades so it seems that he sets his agenda for any kind of interim period if and when thats going to be announced people obviously from rob there are hopeful that will be announced sooner rather than later but the u. S. Does have built within its political system a buffer period that allows for a transition albeit usually that its smoother than what were seeing now but there is those 2 to 3 months where that can take place practically speaking in terms of results whats next as we had this only one states left that we need to clear out for by doing to announce its we on this. And. Obviously georgia there are possible recounts that will take or probable rather but that needs one of the 2 candidates to request for its obviously nevadas taking maybe a bit longer than others to be announced and decided but the moment one is announced you can expect biden will then take to the stage and announce himself as the president elect of the United States of america. There live for as in wilmington delaware thank you. The top u. S. Supreme Court Justices ordered all mail in ballots arriving in pennsylvania after election day to be kept separate thats how the votes were already being tallied republicans had asked Justice Samuel alito to keep them uncounted but the judge ignored the request for legal challenges were pending. Election Officials Say there is yet to be any evidence of voting irregularities Donald Trumps Republican Party says legal teams have been sent to 4 states to investigate ruslan jordan is in washington d. C. At the race appears to be tightening and it doesnt look good for the Trump Campaign is there any plan in place if the litigation fails. Well there if there is a plan for if litigation fails the Trump Campaign has not made it public but certainly there is now a whisper campaign. Being put forth to try to persuade the us President Donald Trump that stepping aside graciously might do more for his long term legacy and for his reputation then spending money and raising money to deploy lawyers to these battleground states to try to stop the counting of the ballots in one case in pennsylvania there is a group of votes that is being set aside because of when they actually arrived in the state and that was something that one of the supreme Court Justices Justice Samuel alito agreed should take place while the voting process and the balloting process takes place but in terms of what else can be done its really hoping at this point for some sort of miracle because the president needs the Electoral College votes from 4 states in order to surpass joe bidens totals and in order to win reelection its looking very very unlikely that he is going to be able to get that kind of a vote tally from those 4 states ok mostly in georgia and that life is in washington d. C. Thank you. Well President Trump has been threatening quote a tremendous amounts of litigation against the vote counting in process in several states is campaign has filed suits in georgia michigan pennsylvania and nevada these include allegations of lates and invalid votes and campaign observers being tonight adequate access to cases in michigan and georgia have been dismissed for lack of evidence none of the complaints provide examples of what trump claims is massive voter frauds or Claire Finkelstein is a professor of law and director at the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania she says the lawsuits are not going to change the states overall result. Im here at ground 0 of this litigation namely in pennsylvania and there have been numerous lawsuits filed for example objections to the curing of ballots in which mail in ballots were defective for some formal reason and it standard procedure here to call up the voters and give them a chance to correct those ballots for example by signing the outside of an armadillo. Theres the lawsuit about how close republican observers members of the Truck Campaign can stand to the tables where the ballots are being recounted theres lawsuits around in whats called provisional ballots but it looks as though 1st of all this is the most important point none of these lawsuits could result in flipping the results in pennsylvania because the number of ballots involved is just too small and joe bidens lead in pennsylvania is now too great thats one issue another issue is that judges have not generally been sympathetic the most that the Term Campaign has gotten out of these lawsuits so far is that some of these ballots have been ordered to be segregated so that they are separate from the other ballots in case of legal challenges down the road but thats not going to make a difference to the outcome alternately because it doesnt suggest that the judges will be sympathetic on the merits if the o. P. s parliament has approved the new interim government for the northern tikrit region Prime Minister met ordered a military offensive in the area on wednesday after accusing the regions moving t. P. M. Left party of attacking government soldiers and accusations it denies on friday Government Air strikes hit a number of targets of insists the operation has clear and limited military objectives. But again during the process of Law Enforcement there could be airstrikes the strikes will not target civilians rather they will target the capacities of these dangerous forces nonetheless in order to avoid unexpected peril i advise you to limit group movements in cities the country that your fathers built on that your forefathers paid their lives for is being disgraced by this evil force this for should be brought to justice and therefore i call on you the 2 grey youth to stand against it and support us so that we can finish this task and move on with our endeavors to develop our nation in a short period of time the feud between the federal governments in at a suburb or antiquities leaders escalated 2 months ago when they went ahead with elections for the Regions Parliament people in secret make up less than 5 percent of ethiopias more than 100000000 people bots thats a grey in Peoples Liberation front has dominated ethiopian politics for most of the last 30 years that changed when Prime Minister came to parity years ago following years of antigovernment protests and he p. L. F. Officials say that hes been squeezing the mice of the central federal governments well i will arlo is a senior lecturer in law at kill university and an analyst covering the horn of africa he says a further escalation could lead to the largest state collapse in the history of the african horn. The system that is in place right now is called multinational federalism where value in a group use their d own language their culture has allowed to measure of how totally at the regional level. Now the t. P. L. F. Who dominated ethiopian politics for the last 2728 years gave up going to settlement for the country but thats consistent assessment did not work at the foot intended now to say the people it was removed from power on the back of political mobilisation particularly by the order and with this Prime Minister came to power he was received very warmly very used to call it into ghastly because he promised to change that most people believed it but unfortunately at some point along this transitional part the Prime Minister began to consolidate his own personal power and came up with a radically different vision of the future and at this point the t. P. A. Left emerged as the defender of the multinational federal project now the one that we see now is basically the latest escalation of this political ideological difference between the 2 but obviously there is no way that this problem could be resolved. And this is frankly an escalation that is likely to lead into the greatest geopolitical nightmare for the whole of africa region and most likely could also lead to the largest state collapse or statist integration in the horn of africa.
