1000000 blue cross welcome to the program there is still no winner in the u. S. President ial election but there are some encouraging signs for democratic challenger joe biden the former Vice President is breathing a little easier after picking up wins in some closely fought states president meanwhile is facing an increasingly difficult path to win reelection hes launched several legal challenges aimed at stopping vote counting after making unfounded allegations of voter fraud so where exactly are we on the election map lets take a look at the latest our figures put joe biden at 264. 00 electoral votes that is to president 1. 21 just 6 shy for joe biden from that magic number to 70 that you need to win the presidency of the United States now how is he getting there michigan 1st. This the counting is finished there and biden has been given it along with that its 16 votes to win in michigan leaves him chasing jess those 6 to get to 270 helped by neighboring state wisconsin those figures are in and we are seeing that wisconsin will also go to joe biden as well along with its 10 electoral votes now where it is less certain where things get dicey is out for example in nevada nevada like we say 6 electoral votes that could do it for joe biden get him over the line but its. A very narrow lead their dollars from still competitive those votes are still coming in as they are in georgia with its 16 electoral votes trump is leading here but his margin is narrowing with more votes possibly coming in from democratic strongholds the Trump Campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging that an eligible late absentee ballots may have been added to the count and lets zoom back over out west the data shows bided in arizona as being the winner but it is far from over that could change at any time again there the votes are still coming in as they are in many states the counting is god going the path to victory appears to be narrowing significantly for donald trump but this is not over yet and for more on that were joined by up here in washington d. C. Either michelle or were looking at some very very close figures with joe biden leading in key states is it going to be enough to get him over the line and make him the next president of the United States. It is looking increasingly so certainly the biden camp is getting much more encouraged by the trend theyve seen through the course of the day and is also a tangible sense of nervousness amongst the Trump Campaign team there although we understand that both camps are not speaking to each other so far so no sign of any kind of concessions any time soon but as you just mapped out there would be enough if joe biden managed to secure nevada or arizona according to your figures although i have to say that some networks here are still pushing to by 253 out of the 270 needed so not complete clarity there across the board on how much it would take him to get him across the finishing line but hes certainly seen encouraging trends throughout the day and even in that key state of pennsylvania which would be a whopping 20 Electoral College votes there throughout the course of the day do biden has been showing his ability to narrow that margin that seems to be the postal ballots there once again seen as democratic meaning he would need some 63 percent on average out of those ballots to be in his favor to get him across the line there we has to live rather significant gap to donald trump leading there with just over 50 percent 50. 9 at this very moment in time and currently seems to be trending around about 80 percent according to use only calculations there so this is where the encourage mint from the biden team and that optimism is currently coming from and were hoping to see some fresh figures come in from georgia tonight but certainly we know that wagner werent. Until thursday morning eastern time here in the United States so a nail biter throughout the night once again you know it definitely seems like 2 steps forward one step back for both sides really as the numbers keep changing on the map when can we expect to get a final vote and what is it that is taking so long for these votes to be coming back from the various states. Yes well the tally its not the votes themselves and taking so long partly also because including the key state of pennsylvania there was no agreement across the aisle we understand that was the republicans actually who blocked poll workers from being allowed to work on those posts about early that something that the democrats had proposed to speed up the process so this feeds into the narrative that weve seen from the white house from donald trump even before election day and its continuing throughout the day today calling into question that this speed all this slow progress suggests that there is something cooking up this is something that has not been backed out also by International Observers this is a c. E. O. Observer team here who have all confidence that everything is going according to election or and continuing to count ballots for several days is something thats happened in postelection sand the United States as well but now that its coming down to the crunch every vote every 1000. 00 votes reading masses in every one of those races still open that indeed its going to be a lot more left to go michelle or care for their forest washington thanks very much. Just a short while ago joe biden expressed confidence about the state of the race at least for him as he addressed supporters from his home state of delaware and now after a long night of county its clear that were when you know states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency im not here weve won but i am here to report the count is finished we believe we will be the winners our foreigners are out on the streets of washington d. C. To gauge the mood of americans there and this is what theyve been hearing. Today is a very tense day for mary Many Americans and i believe personally as a republican that trump won in a landslide but because of culbut and the ballots that 300000 ballots overnight were found in every city in the swing states for biden and. Just another reminder about how divided the country is right now its remarkable that you know almost half of americans think that donald trump is the single worst person to be president. That hes the single best person to be president im just overwhelmed and im so stressed yesterday it was like you know but this morning i broke down and cried because of the possibility that trent might be in office again my mom was saying earlier she feels really misled by the polls. Im not really up to feeling angry at anyone im just feeling sad. Our reporter stacy bivins is with me here in the studio just saw the very adorable puppy and we just heard people talking about their views of this what are americans thinking as they wait the roll waiting and were counting to find out who won this election were all waiting and were all anxious but i think we can most of us can agree that its better that we take things deliberately and slowly if we need be and get it right as opposed to rush and disenfranchise many people but there is some anxiety within the us and i and i guess it depends on where your political leanings if you are trying to support or like the 1st one we saw in that clip you believe that he won by a landslide and that there is a conspiracy were either votes were disappeared or other boats were able to come in way late and its padded the boat. And this is courtesy of donald trump himself who has been spreading disinformation about the integrity of the vote about the ability to send in votes in the 1st place and then even casting aspersions on people who work in these facilities polling people who many times has volunteered their time because they are dedicated to the to the process and then you have. Democrats who watched every vote to count and theyre willing to take their time and so were seeing the manifestations of some of this of this anx we have video coming out of Seattle Washington where there was a rally and its happening across the u. S. Weve had some in new york and in philadelphia where people been protesting and they call these count the votes and people were marching saying count every vote protect every person dont let trump steal your vote and this is in response to donald trump wanting the vote to be stopped and the Republican Party filing suit most notably in michigan because they want votes to the voting to be stopped for whatever reason theres no. Solid evidence as to any kind of fraud or you know. Malfeasance but theyve been wanting the vote to stop and we have people fighting back saying no we want to be heard and thats the thing the United States is supposed to be a democracy and instead of disenfranchising people people should be allowed to cast their vote boat and have their ballot counted i mean the u. S. Has a long history with disenfranchisement now were looking at you know this made up ideas of vote suddenly appearing of course of vote on counted as not a made up vote is just that these to be counted if they if the recount to give it a little bit of time but you know that said so theres a lot of anxiety on all sides i would say here but maybe even more excited for the democrats they were going into this thinking this is going to be at best a landslide or maybe of at least a very comfortable win for joe biden even talking about taking the senate which is now no longer looking so likely the polls are all in their favor but donald trump perform very well so what explains that theres a couple things that happened 1st of all the polls were just wrong and so the polling pollsters are going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure out how they got things so wrong in so many areas when you look at white women voters for example we were told that trump was hemorrhaging white women voters whether they were in the suburbs or if we were if they were working class white women but he did very well with white women 53 percent so this is this is a major thing. So. There used to be a study a study that but from the fall out i think what weve learned is that the Democratic Party needs to do a better job of reaching out to its base donald trump converse lee did a great job of going out in data mining people getting people who supported him who support his ideology but perhaps didnt vote for him in 2016 for whatever reason so he was able to model motivate that vote the democrats had a little bit of trouble when you look at miami dade for example black turnout was not very good the hispanic turnout was ok but for donald trump so theres a lot to still go through so much data still to crunch im sure were going to be there looking forward to crunching it all stacey been very much youre welcome. C. W. News live from berlin and lets remind you of that top story that were following for you in the u. S. To lection democratic president ial candidate joe biden has added the swing state of michigan to his column putting in just 6 Electoral College votes short of victory and speaking in delaware biden said he was confident of winning trump is planning legal challenges to the folk counts.

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 the rarer the better for some the higher the price for poachers. But dining on endangered species can cost your health. As you were noting diseases aids ebola and then you corona virus 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 band 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 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 zoonotic. 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 when markets where live 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 which 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 odds do or not it diseases. Well stuart if these are sort of. In our human nature already for many many years for many centuries because you know to diseases as i. Have or to the church i am humans anything animals and interesting part is that about 60 percent of all human Infectious Diseases they reach in age from animals they come from intimate and over the last few years with newly emerging diseases its actually 75 things are all really look at consented thats quite a lot of pressure not so another has a chance to challenge the at champ between animals and humans and that is not surprising because the area humans get out of the Animal Kingdom so therefore all that has a chance to challenge the virus theyre tearing out and so on they dont distinguish between animals and humans and theres no question barrier between animals and so soon noses are really never actually to most of the diseases that she have and this will noses like be nothing dark sunspot to hona then dad lot of other cases will resist which we have already complex and men have to take measures against like a great piece of chicken arms is to say there was this all there was hellman and i was is all those diseases were around there all this that was at the once which which. In a match you years. Through to through was fine she will begin to see him be able that they all originated from animals so what are you saying when people. Sharing a lot more of those diseases with the Animal Kingdom. Yes you all this she had a lot of inner office. And now out recently is here more would it be believed all of. This is because 1st of all the other war you werent eloquent take to the animals its much more you also go into the campaign trail to pay the tax over before i can detect a penalty for whatever so our politics possibilities between animals and humans match has been hannity has gathered in addition to you also have to trade and our travel through all of the of like can travel be like oh no we dont like to live the way that it was in one day and all the traffic mess it so theyre going to kind of take was well it is much higher and it was ever before so what do we need to do what do we need to do to prevent zoonosis i think being the bill never even more says im going to have to and as you say we have to try to prevent them and i think one she mentioned really did she know that hygiene messed up so working hole in a mall baby. Biosecurity its a replies to you really have to. Know that they dont have such direct equipped or close to take i specially is keeps out of there is actually missed debt per episode quite a lot of just for 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 lest jungles and forests. Well i could mean that all of this could mean. Less and less for us but it also could mean being woke my beer off the season can bring it into the season. Like the you know the best in europe i think they can from other ecosystems be out there theyve been migrating viruses. That might is an issue or at present just the of manliness and sort of like treating ourselves afterwards like being in training just sort of like what can we do you can keep fascistic in farm town and we can try. If possible to be more sustainable want to go into those 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 cities. They might not see the danger of that its still a metaphor for bad debts one was a college debt you cant make them o. B. L. Is the one that you and they are high cheek nations which they can take just to prevent those who would know this is going on what form animals to humans so in terms of intellect if you can try to raise a ban on this but you can also and death thats what science and politics are trying to look at is trying to find out what wireless is. In the bush we need into our own water why risk the density as a threat to last like water and so part of this is also one Health Principle we have the hells animals humans and the environment is sort of looked at politico and i think thats the way to go in your future to see what what is the health and how do they interact with each other as a desolate and we can future some solutions there from coal is out of louis deputy head of the institute of it give me all a g. And germanys people nothing 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 pathogen there are a fast track method for determining safety and efficacy and we conduct them all the time usually on animals especially primates but in ethical terms of 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 of sure fire therapies to treat someone if an induced covert 19 infection turned 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 country. Great to consider conducting human challenge trials im according to the science journal nature at least some exploratory planning has commenced in belgium and the us as well.
