Im white and blue cross welcome to the program its been 24 hours since voting ended in the u. S. President ial election and there remains no clear winner democratic challenger joe biden and President 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 call from everyone but the president has already claimed victory and hes alleging voter fraud even without presenting any evidence for it meanwhile joe biden has called for patience and his supporters are confident hes on track to win. So heres a look at the results with one significant change in the last hour our figures show biden currently on 248 President Trump at 214 electoral votes putting joe biden just 22 Electoral College votes away from that magic number 270 that hell need to win the presidency now in wisconsin were seeing that that state has gone to joe biden and its 10 electoral votes that go with it with 49. 6 percent of the vote joe biden winning there and in arizona also our data is showing that biden has taken that state now these 2 states are not officially confirms that would mean by then well need 22 more Electoral College votes to win the white house hes not there yet and counting is also not done in michigan biden is currently leading that count in the state it has 16 electoral votes its a very very close margin but a win for joe biden in michigan would leave him with just 6 more Electoral College votes to go and that brings us to no vada with those 6 votes if joe biden maintains his very narrow lead in nevada and those other states weve mentioned in till the end of counting that would push him over the edge to 270. 00 votes and get him to the white house but it is a big country it is a lot of counting and they are still ongoing the race is still very much open it is still either candidates to win just a short while ago joe biden expressed confidence about the state of the race as he addressed supporters from his home state of delaware. My fellow americans yesterday once again proved that democracy is the heartbeat of this nation yes it has been has been the hard business nation for 2 centuries and even in the face of a pandemic more americans voted this election than ever before in American History over 150000000 people cast their vote i think thats extraordinary and if we had any doubts we should have any longer. But a government of by and for the people is very much alive very much alive in america here the people rule power cant be taken or certain it flows from the people and is their will that terminus who will be the president of the United States and there were alone. And now after a long night of county its clear that were when you enough 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 on the count is finished we believe we will be the winners of all those counted we have won wisconsin by 20000 virt votes virtually the same margin that President Trump won that state 4 years ago in michigan we need by over 35000 votes and its growing a substantially bigger margin and President Trump won michigan in 2016 michigan will complete its votes soon maybe as early as the day and i feel very good about pennsylvania virtually all the remaining balance to be counted or 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 we 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 im very proud of our campaign only 3 president ial campaigns in the past have defeated an incumbent president when its finished god willing well be the 4th ases a major achievement this is a major achievement and its been a long and Difficult Campaign but its been a more difficult time for our country a hard time weve had a hard campaigns before we faced hard times before so once this election is finalized and behind us it will be time for us to do what weve always done as americans to put the harsh rhetoric of the campaign behind us to lower the temperature to see each other again to listen to one another tweet to hear each other again and respect and care for one another to unite to heal to come together as a nation i know this wont be easy im not naive neither of us are i know how deep and hard the opposing views are in our country im so many things. But i also know this is well to make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies we are not enemies what brings us together as americans is so much stronger than anything they can terrace apart so let me be clear i we are campaigning as a democrat but i will govern as an american president or the president the presidency itself is not a partisan institution its the one office in this nation that represents everyone and it demands a duty of care for all americans those precisely what i will do our i will work as hard for those who didnt vote for me as i will for those who did vote for me now every vote must be counted no ones going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever america is come too far america is far too many battles americans endured too much to ever let that happen we the people will not be silenced we the people will not be bullied we the people will not surrender my friends im confident well emerge victorious but this will not be my victory alone or our victory alone would be a victory for the American People for our democracy for america there will be no blue states and red states when we win just the United States of america god bless you all and may god protect our troops. We have Live Team Coverage now with our correspondent oliver salat in willington delaware where joe biden was speaking and in washington our very own ami in s. F. All over over to you 1st were used to hearing acceptance speeches and concession speeches after an election but this was neither of them what do you make of bidens address. Was certainly william and weve heard joe biden speak yesterday we also heard donald trump and that was quite a different tone that he took here you made clear that he does not declare victory at this point but he was also very optimistic saying that once the final mail in ballots and once the final ballots are counted that hes very certain that he will have enough delegates the 270 delegates to win this election so he sees himself pretty optimistic and pretty certain that he is going to win this president ial Election Year also made clear for all the critics that raise that to raising dollars right now about the legitimacy of the current state of play here caused by donald trump and his rhetoric that this is part of the democratic process and that it has been as has happened often times before that a president was not clearly the winner after the election night. And just some quick news in now we are calling michigan now for joe biden we had it on the map and we had it off the map we are now saying michigan is for joe biden that puts joe biden quite close to that to 70 maybe exactly to 70 i mean when might we expect a final result how we know. Well theres 2 different ways of interpreting the words final results there is the one hand that we can see clearly that joe biden has collected enough Electoral College votes to 70 to win the presidency there is on the other hand a different interpretation and that would be trumps that he wont be satisfied with the results in till all the litigation is behind us so what were going to see over the next few days is a vote counts being. Tallied becoming official and then being made unofficial again by lawsuits that could challenge those results what you could see is recounts happening like in wisconsin challenges in michigan and even pennsylvania when that count comes through that will come through until friday is what the Electoral Commission in that state a very key state with a lot of Electoral College votes. Supposed to come in on friday so its going to be to the end of the week before we can say this is how many liberal College Votes each president has but then were going to see some lawsuits and oliver what exactly does that mean you know does have a chance at overturning some elections. Well right now since you said we had you just you Just Announced that michigan was called that certainly is another defeat another blow for donald because what he tried here is to stop the vote counting in michigan as well as in pennsylvania still underway there at least until friday Authorities Say they are and of course he asked for a recount of wisconsin that in and of itself is nothing unusual the democrats the 2 in 2016. Certainly he was not able to stop the vote counting here in michigan indiana and thats what legal experts told me he will have to accept the outcome based on the ballots 5 we might see as amin as youve just said we might see some court cases here we might see some legal battle we might see some chaotic days ahead in fact but in the end what is going to count is whats in the ballots and it is likely that donald trump doesnt have any proof for his allegation that those mail in ballots are fraudulent and back over to you i mean i mean one of the reasons trumps able to ask for these recounts which he may do when hes saying he will and challenge them in court is because the margins are so razor thin why is that. Well the margins are razor thin in these states because probably because of the very high turnout what youre seeing is a lot of votes coming in last minute and closing these margins a lot of democrat cities that lean very democrat are reporting there are a 1000000 votes finally and youre seeing these margins narrow now what biden pointed out in his speech is that trump only won wisconsin and michigan by the same narrow margin that looks like biden will win both of those states and in 2016 Hillary Clintons campaign did not challenge the results and i just want to point out its completely within the bounds of u. S. Law to challenge the results donald trump is within his rights to challenge those results i think what is scaring people here is what is scaring democrats anyway is not to that trump is challenging the results but the reason why hes challenging results hes claimed that democrats have somehow launched a conspiracy to quote unquote find ballots now thats not happening whats happening is theyre counting ballots that are being delivered to them later in the day so these are baseless claims and i think thats whats on president here thats what we need to watch in the courts are courts actually going to take on these legal challenges based on 0 evidence all over salat in wilmington delaware i mean s. F. Right there for us in washington thanks so much for your reporting and being on the ground there for us watching your news a 1000000 blue cross will have more for you thanks for watching. Literature invites us to see people in particular. Time. On youtube. It was the 1st International Tribunal in history.

Our 2 part series the 3rd reich in the dark starts nov 12th on t w. This is the news africa coming up on the program.

They left americans who moved to the continent that watched the us elections from new home countries. Comments on election went on the fraud of mean to africa. About the us ways in. Office. If you put. The name. Welcome to the program if you have your house launched a military offensive up by rebel forces allegedly down on me based even. A civil war that of course top heavy fighting has broken out in the north and states of to great where the government says local forces federal troops in the city of new. Kelly the trouble has been brewing since the region held elections last month in defiance of the Central Government from minister ahmed who won the Nobel Peace Prize and tweens 19 said been killed in a televised address said he last red line had been crossed. For 20 years the National Defense force has been in the bunkers defending this country by paying heavy sacrifices with its blood and flame its been attacked this evening in mikhail he and many other places by traitors and the forces the organized we are going to look for more on whats happening in it with yeah im now joined by my riyadh gets Nicholas School our correspondent in a decent. Reports of heavy fighting in the region what more can you tell us. So what do we know so far is that the Prime Minister it cuse forces in the degree religion of attacking federal military bases in order to steal military equipment he said very early in the morning that he had launched a military operation in response to that and he also said that the attack carried out by the great region had called i cowrote many marketeers injuries and Property Damage without giving exact numbers and there are also rumors of gunshots being heard by locals in that degraded capital and kelly however is that it is very difficult to get any information out of to dree at the moment as the internet and phone lines have been completely shot up now. Or did the military like you said to quote carry out the mission to save that country what exactly thats not me. The athlete said in a Statement Today that war cannot be prevented only on the goodwill and decision of one side and that he had used all means to thwart any military engagement basically what hes saying is that the ruling party in the theater a region so basically his Opposition Party or one of his opposition parties has crossed a red line after months of political tensions and that he now has to intervene to safeguard the countrys stability although many are saying that this is a very dangerous move now can you help us understand a bit more here what are the lead to deescalate the situation between the gray states or the federal government tensions have been growing between the 2 great Peoples Liberation front or p. L. S. The basically the ruling party in the to gray region and Prime Minister of the estimate ever since obviously it came to power in 2018 that the grand party had a huge political power for decades before abby who is from the romeo region was appointed Prime Minister so for the past 2 years to gradients had been signed sidelined from the put the political scene and its officials are feeling that they are being unfairly targeted and scapegoated for the countrys problems last year they also refused to join abbys new Coalition Party the Prosperity Party and they opposed the governments decision to postpone elections due to the cove in 1000 pandemic of this has led to these other tensions have led to this escalation of which we still know little about ok and our briefly on this one how ordinary ethiopians reacting to the increasing violence. As i said its impossible to communicate with anyone integrate at the moment and i would say people are mostly worried worried because because they cannot talk to their relatives theyre worried about a possible Armed Conflict theyre asking themselves is there going to be a civil war and yet so were seeing a lot of people calling for authorities to work toward the escalation and conflict resolution where we are get Nicholas School your correspondent in ethiopia thank you for your time. Your return in 2019 thats welcoming africanamericans back home to the continent now some took the opportunity to leave the u. S. And resettling ghana correspondent isaac metz with 2 americans who swapped north america but the gold coast but closely watching developments back home where you know its. Very different from us to katia new cousy still there is no escaping president ial politics. No they were born in the us a their home is now gonna. But theyve still been gripped by this fish story collection. And dont. You get this. That you were concerned because it seems to be taking longer than others. And i think a lot of that is also orchestrated because. Because of the timing i think the timing has a lot of it you know you stretch the drama out as long as you can so that the people are excited he needs to be removed this election you cannot continue with a madman during a pandemic whose eaglet is to call all he cares about is winning for himself not for the country the 2 friends understood ghanas call for its global diaspora to retard home after feeling worn down by racism and inequality of opportunity and their place. The only reason is the color of our skin so i think that its not my education its not by religion or culture its by the color of our skin and thats a really sad thing. I think that the opportunity in africa is here at the end of the day it leaves us to look as americans very lost confused thats why im here the reason why im in ghana because im looking for new and New Territory where i can feel at home and i believe that i can build for myself and my familys future america doesnt look that inviting anymore because in the end of the day youre going to go another 100 years people be marching by whatever their selection result here are 2 americans who voted with their feet turning their backs on an american in search of the african dream. Now its not just things around r. V. Impact of elections is being felt across the continent we caught up with South African diplomatic Brahim Rossouw u. S. Ambassador to the u. S. From 2010 to 2015 our correspondents. Began by asking him whats trumps false claims of electoral fraud tell africans. The missing jet is sending with claiming victimhood electoral fraud and the possibility of not giving up office is as dangerous as the one that says that when you are the president there is no conflict of interest between you your family and the resources of a country that is an absolutely dangerous negative if he enters africa we struggled hard to get rid of people who. Didnt for office said to be removed from office who would then use the army to pose that themselves who declared the spits on the elections. And who themselves and their families inadvertently donald trump and the positioning of his family had given African People to benefit their families but for the past its almost said its ok for the president to look after his family we have learned in south africa and in africa that its not ok mali that is a major defeat that africa would suffer if that narrative were to become a globally accepted narrative by president how would you describe the presidency what impact did it have on the african continent. A whole 4 years was maybe not different to obamas 1st 4 years they did nothing on africa. And obama understandably because he was finding his feet he was consumed with the policies and all of those kind of things and had an opportunity to do something with a. But it never entered the Attention Span at all but companies didnt see was bad for africa in that he looked for a trade war with china which meant that china was facing all kinds of tariffs was cutting back on trade with africa and therefore africa as a growth spurt continent had fallen back and then covert 19 so im hoping that if there is a stimulation of the u. S. Economy and the democratic. Presidency that it would freeze up the economy as well as have a different building in the relationship with china so that child can at least help to pull africa out of the covert 19 crisis that we have we did during. That time that we were looking for that was they brought in russell from a South African ambassador to the u. S. Speaking to did of your correspondents are doing press in cape town. Every year at the United Nations and as a woman in the field of policing for her outstanding work and achievements and this that i want goes to doreen mulumbu from zambia well im always currently serving on mission in south sudan where she works agenda advice from that single mother spoke about her experience of working and i was alone and how shes helping other women on the front line of some of the wild stuff and conflicts in need as a Police Officer ways in your own form i tremble i mean. Then there will be no hope for these south sudanese women so i started advising day and encouraging them telling them that this it will all go for them they were saying there has winds in the bush fighting and some of the women where even you call their belts will take. The ammunition to take the food to the people who are fighting then i started giving them some experience which i gained from liberia and how they lived there and women who managed to bring peace in their own country it wasnt really the main but it was the women who fought for the peace in liberia some of them they even started calling their cause band to to stop the fight and we could see some of the soldiers coming into their camp surrendering their arms to us and joining their families within the onions compound to give up we can make.

From 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 and on the rare of the better of us the higher the price of approaches. But dining on endangered species can cost you a health. Zoonotic diseases aids ebola and then you coronavirus 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 bad 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 zoo are not. The pathogens can be iriss 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 sewer not of 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 played place enough the institute also a veterinary epidemiologist just how dangerous odd zoonotic diseases. Well suited to it is our sort of in in our human nature already for many many years of many centuries because you know to diseases as i. Have or to retreat am humans anything animals and do you just think past this 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 the same sorrow when you look at incentives thats quite a lot of cannot so another has a chance to challenge the at champ between animals and humans and that is not surprising because the early humans get out of the Animal Kingdom so therefore all the peasant chimps would challenge the virus there to react and so on they dont distinguish between animals and humans and theres no question barrier between animals and humans so soon there was this and we never actually did most of the diseases. And a lot of this will noses like be nothing corks our skulls got to go on our. Dad a lot of other cases where there was a switch we have already complex and men have to take measures against that great to look at levels is to say there was this all there was a time when i was its all those diseases were around there all this that was at the once which which you hear in the matthew years they teach us through it who was flying a tree will begin to see a child be it were that they all already cheering to commend him odds so what are you saying where are 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 out recently is here more to believe all. This is because 1st of all the other war you cant take to the animals its much more you also go into the penetrate into habitats over before they can detect the animals and plants and whatever so that our current possibilities between animals and humans match has been hannity has gathered in addition to you also have the trade and our travel through all of that of like you cant travel there would be like the south will now we dont like to live the way that it was in one day and all the traffic mess it so theyre going to credit check cause ability is much higher and it was in iraq before so what do we need to do what do we need to do to prevent zoonosis i think the you know there is even more awesome going to have to do and as you say we have to try to prevent them and i think one key measure really. Messed up so working hole in a mall. By a Security Threat its a replies to you really have to. Know that they dont have such direct contact or close to take i specially is he said if there was actually missed debt per episode why the order to just make it part of 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 it does that mean less factory farming does it mean chopping down list jungles and forests. Well i could mean that all of this is. Just temp. Less and less for us but it also could mean being quote more of the air. Can bring in this the season. You know the best in europe. They need help from other ecosystems theyve been migrating viruses. That might have or hasnt changed just the awareness and sort of like treating our selves up to its like being in pain just sort of like or can be you can keep a actually fascistic in farm town and you can try. It possible to be more sustainable want to go see areas. Where its exciting and so on but surely there are more proactive measures that we can take i mean what do you tell someone who who needs to venture out who needs to eat bushmeat. Basically to survive someone in the democratic republic of congo say in a small village who doesnt see the danger in catching as there were no seats. They might not see the danger of that its still a matter of the brand does one possibility get you cant make them o. B. L. Is the one and if they are high cheek missions which they can take just to prevent those who would know this is going on from animals to humans so in terms of being too late if you can try to raise a day on this and you can also and then thats what science and politics are trying to look at is trying to find out what why or is this ok and why live in the bush we need into it and what why or is this content the threat to ask like water and so this is also one Health Principle of the hells animals humans and the environment is sort of looked at elliptic and i think thats the way to go in your future you see what what is the health and how do they interact with each other and i see desolate and holes where we can. Some solutions there from coal as well to louis deputy head of the institute of it give me all a g. And germanys people are ok institute thank you. Now its your turn to ask the questions is there. Will other countries do their own challenge trials now that the u. K. Has announced its doing so. Challenge trials involve intentionally infecting organisms with a pathogen to find out how well vaccines or medications work at stopping that pap agenda there are thousands track method for determining safety and efficacy and we conduct them all the time usually on animals especially primates but in ethical terms human challenge studies like the one proposed in britain can be pretty charged if the plans are approved starting this january researchers there will be going to liberate lee infecting Young Healthy volunteers with sars cove to initially to find out how much of the pathogen it takes to make them sick once the scientists have determined that they can begin giving other volunteers vaccines then subsequently challenging their immune system with that preset dose of corona virus to see how effective the vaccines are doing things this way can provide precise data quickly so it can really speed up the Development Process thats because instead of just giving a late stage vaccine candidate to thousands of volunteers and the placebo to thousands of others and then basically waiting to see what happens researchers have a lot more control over the entire process but they dont have control in one key area because we still dont have sure fire therapies to treat someone if an induced covert 19 infection turns severe the possibility that a human challenge trial could cause a volunteer long term damage or even kill them that cant be ruled out despite those risks britain is apparently not the only cunts. Great to consider conducting human challenge trials according to the science journal nature at least some exploratory planning has commenced in belgium and the us as well.

Not hes going to keep the so much more needs to be done and i think people have to be at the solutions my name is on the facts and i welcome to. The United States of america and mission a culture deeply divided amid a president ial election thats been like no other well talk to a bestselling american novelist and a former white house videographer about this years fight for power and later on arts and culture how these past 4 years of trump turned hollywood political. Welcome to arts and culture my 1st guest is literary heavyweight and bestselling american author jeff are you genitives his books include the Pulitzer Prize winning novel Middlesex Jeffrey Genovese thanks for joining me how are you. Coping on im holding up all right this morning ok i wanted to start syrian part because i really believe that novelists are some of the best experts that we have on the human heart and mind and im wondering how you understand these 2 clashing realities in america do trump and biden voters really have different core values yeah i used to feel that as a novelist i understood my country but im sort of waiting to see what happens in the selection to to see if i if i do or not im from michigan and michigan is one of the states in play right now and the 1st time that trump prevailed there unlike a lot of my friends in new york i understood what was going on with the people who had voted twice for obama and then switched over to trump because of us well see
