Will continue. Im going to cross welcome to the program 2 days after the u. S. President ial election and still no winner votes are being counted in several key u. S. States democratic challenger joe biden is closest to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure the presidency any remaining state will get him over the line the Associated Press has called arizona for biden but other networks are saying its too close to call with arizona biden has 200 64. 00 Electoral College votes just 6 shy of the 270. 00 he needs but counting is going on there and elsewhere and the result could tip towards trump still meanwhile the Trump Campaign has launched legal action claiming fraud trying to stop. The count in 3 states but there is 0 evidence of any wrongdoing to the contrary counting is proceeding smoothly across the country. Frustration spilling out onto the streets in new york and trump protesters demanding every vote be counted. In other cities like here in seattle a similar story. In portland a sign that many here have had enough of u. S. Politics all together. But in phoenix arizona pro Trump Supporters make their voices heard outside an election center. This is a country divided. I believe personally as a republican thats trying one in a landslide but because of culbut and the ballots that 300000 ballots overnight were found in every city in the swing states were by then im just overwhelmed im so stressed out yesterday it was like you know insanity but today this morning i broke down and cried because of the possibility that trent might be in office again. Across several states votes are still being counted the majority of them have been sent in by post and in this election costing a vote by mail has been favored by Many Democrats every vote must be counted no is going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever. America has come too far there is far too many battles americans under too much ever let that happen. But republicans claim these parties to invite some man to electoral fraud we dont know trump accusing democrats of trying to steal the election. Trumps top lawyer is promising legal action you dont wish. It was the democrats do you. Call deplorable and. Were going to stick with this were going to win this election. Just a matter of counting the votes. It may come down to the courts to decide who wins this election the closest full battle for the white house in 20 is. All right lets take a closer look at the states that havent been called yet so the latest figures as weve said is joe biden with 264 electoral votes to president Donald Trumps 214 Electoral College votes lets start in that tricky state of arizona where the votes are still being counted but the a. P. News agency which is our and many other main source of election data has called that for biden yet many other Major Networks have not saying its too close to call 11 college elect our College Votes are up for grabs there which we are including in bidens count but that could yet change now not so far away in nevada joe biden currently has a slim lead there the state carries exactly the 6 votes he would need to get to that to 70 to win the presidency theres still around 190000 votes left to count according to the state with most in democratic favored areas now going back over the southeast in georgia 16 Electoral College votes there and. Trump is in the lead but only by less than 13000 votes and that lead is narrowing there are some 40000 ballots still to count according to the state Election Officials and the big one pennsylvania with 20 aleck toral votes donald trump currently holds a narrowing lead and it keeps getting smaller the remaining mail in ballots are expected to favor joe biden so with the vote still being counted in many states across the country Donald Trumps path to victory appears to be narrowing states you see there in red or blue have been called by the a. P. For trump or biden respectively states in lighter blue or pink are leaning towards biden or trump respectively any one state will give biden the win trump needs a combination of states to hang on. Joe biden has just made a statement in delaware biden said he has quote no doubt hell win the election but calling for patients as the votes are still being counted. In america the vote is sacred. Its how people of this nation express their will. And it is the will of the voters no one not anything else that chooses the president of United States for america so each ballot must be counted and thats what were going to see going through now and thats how it should be democracy sometimes messy and sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years the system of government governance has been the envy of the world. And we continue to feel sin and i will continue to feel very good about where things stand we have no doubt that when the count is shitty senator harris and i will be declared the winners so i ask everyone to stay calm all the people to stay calm the process is working the count is being completed and well know very soon so thank you all for your patience but we got to count the votes god bless you all and may god protect our troops thank you so much. Lets get more now from salahis right there in wilmington delaware where biden just spoke oliver this seems to be becoming a pattern of biden we saw make a similar Statement Last night again tonight what is his aim here. Well he wants to address his followers and his voters of course were increasingly getting nervous with every day because it takes a long time of course to get those votes counted but he also wants to spread optimism as he was done in the Election Night and the day after really saying that lets count the votes because he knows that with every vote counted the momentum is shifting further in his direction we know that the majority of the mail in votes that are currently counted are votes for joe biden and for that very reason hes trying to be out there trying to show his face and say look were on the winning streak we are getting close so there he also said theyre very optimistic about the states of arizona nevada they do believe they have a good chance to win in georgia and in pennsylvania and with any of those states that i mentioned joe biden would win this election. So good reason to be confident is that confidence cannot come back to bite him at all. While of course hes trying to quantrill as also donald trump youre right now who we havent heard in 48 hours whos the launching of these. Countless lawsuits against him right now but you know. Service that our colleague cindy used to do washington ive spoken to said that those claims are baseless so right now it is a very narrow path to victory for donald trump its technically of course possible but he would have to win many states and not just one state because if you follow the projections of the Associated Press like we do with the w. Then it would be only one or 2 states left for him to win so hes got way better chance shell biden to win right now in jail for all this confidence and optimism that weve also heard here tonight and many of those states where the counting is happening being run by republicans so just more reason to be trusting this count that it is going. Every vote counted all over sally in wilmington delaware thank you very much. Now lets turn over to not far away in philadelphia d. W. Stuff and simons is in front of the Convention Center where pennsylvania ballots are being counted and hes not alone stephan if you can hear us you know whats going on where you are a lot of activity. 7 are you able to hear us as seems to be a lot of noise i can only speak up so much. Looks like were having some trouble getting over the stuffing because theres a lot of activity appears outside that Convention Center where those votes are being counted steffen any chance. This is truly out there understand if the 2nd fellow do you really literally the middle of the thick of it where protests or where 2 groups are giving each other face off to this side of the camera can show you this this is the pro biden errors the 1st count every vote crowd its a good look with balloons and dancing all day long and no turning back to me and this right these all the biden the the Trump Supporters right in front of the commencement said the pennsylvania curmudgeon said the way inside the boat is still being counted remember if biden takes this state and the difference between trump and biden was 500000 votes now its about 800000 vote difference so biden is catching up if you win this then its the presidency for him however we had the chance to talk to a few people here from both sides thats have a listen. Im here because donald trump has been fighting for 4 years to keep the democrats from stealing the election both 2015 they try to steal 2016 and they try to theyre stealing 22. And as we speak right now i live in north philadelphia i voted for donald trump i do not understand why the ballots are still flooding in state after november 3rd if it if the ballot didnt show up november 3rd then it does not count there you know 4 or. 5 of them. But. Theres no evidence that theres any voting fraud. I mean im sorry that they feel that their pride by their legal right back is voters and still voting data to post their ballots and theres nothing progeny about that stuff and so youre right there you know between biden supporters Trump Supporters is there any kind of interaction between these people are they able any kind of dialogue. There was very little interaction early on now in the evening hours its getting dark now check this out you see behind this media of all this also very interesting because media seems to be very much more interested in showing biden put trump supporter flags behind there you see Trump Supporters actually engaging getting yelled at from biden supporters to count all the war supporters so they are at each other but its all verbal its peaceful its all good theres nothing to be afraid of here at the moment theres a lot of police around which you could see right now uniformed and it sort of closing so all is good talking i wouldnt call it talking to each other but yelling at each other shouting at each other and dancing it off versus each other thats what they do here and a long history of political protests in the u. S. This is nothing really too unusual the big question for all those people there stephanie for all of us the results when can we maybe hear something final about pennsylvania. Secretary of state of the state of pennsylvania came out earlier said shes very hopeful to be able to reach for. The final the final accounts of the votes counted here in philadelphia later today not he said hopeful and i was going to stress that because they surrounding counties allegheny. County theyve heard from turn this in 2016 they have now switched into foreign counties biden is leading the vote that and theyre still counting and theyre saying actually they need told tomorrow so all of this going to happen tonight very late that we have a clear final answer from the secretary of state rig on the philadelphia regarding the surrounding suburbs or counties for tomorrow. A lot of town takes so lets say they were maybe possibly even recounts were just going to have to wait and see Stephanie Simons in philadelphia where its all happening in that point state thanks very much for bringing that to us. But watching your news well have a lot more of all that were covering at the top of the hour state. Of. The fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. Information and context the coronavirus update 19. W. And you hear me know here is yours we can hear you and how last years judgments hans i will bring you im going to a man called and you. Surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical relief work and want. To talk to people who follow along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world. Powerful woman shaking her head like it does from eccles last stop. The 2nd wave is crashing over europe and intensive Care Capacity is close to breaking point. Germany could hit its limit next month france and switzerland my crack by midmonth. Belgium could overrun capacity this week or next. What seemed like huge investments to expand Hospital Capacity now look totally inadequate. Warning bells should have been ringing in early july after the spring lock downs were east but only a few recognized the vibrations that heralded a tsunami of new cases. The experts warned us and for many countries the 2nd wave is already more savage than the 1st Health Systems are running at their limit in parts of eastern and western europe in belgium doctors and nurses a struggling to keep up the incidence of coronavirus cases there is the highest in europe at 3956. 00 per 100000 people. This used to be the Recovery Room for patients whove had surgery now it serves as a makeshift intensive care unit for Corporate Banking patients on life support hospitals of the belgian province of liers are no the epicenter of europes 2nd wave and struggling to keep up we are not. Anymore so if a patient emergency room with the 3 we have to run through. The flemish both of them will be all for food devo tells us his team is not only short of beds but also personnel for one in 5 nurses in the region have tests. It positive for the virus themselves but the pressure is so high that those who dont have symptoms continue to work under strict safety precautions doctors and nurses here are working tirelessly to take care of covert 900 patients some of them are even infected themselves but despite all efforts the Health Care System here in belgium has reached its breaking point as the overall number of infections continues to rise the actual number of infections is likely to be higher than the official figures across town at least as University Hospital testing is ongoing. I cant smell or taste any more and i have a headache. After medics year can conduct 280 tests every day but these tests are strictly for those who have a doctors prescription family members friends or coworkers who have been in close contact with them but dont show any symptoms cannot get a test for them or as the moment we have so many positive cases the problem is there are far too many contacts persons given the huge number of people who have symptoms wed be unable to test them as well as all the people theyve been in contact with at least not with the amount of tests we have currently if we had more tests we probably could back in the covert ward doctor duvall fears the lax home of the crisis in summer will put him and his colleagues in a very difficult position very soon when you have only one bet and 10 people out of a bit you have to choose between the team but which one you were after. No doc want to do thats one thing its like you know we all know the book goes through that kind of thing we all looked up to treat patients with which patient treating germany has started to take patients from belgian hospitals with infections expected to continue to rise here in the coming weeks the medical staff already at their limit will need all the help they can get. So that if you want to is with st Josephs Hospital in what is time what sort of capacity does germany have to take on patients from other countries right now. Well we havent ever its nearly twice as much as you bet spec up a tad and the rest of europe. And currently in germany are on 75 percent of the german i see you bet. So there is still a place room to move and we could take patients especially in. Regions in germany from other European Countries but there are reasons also in germany where the free capacity is below 10 percent and intensive care patients have to be moved to other hospitals and that binds intensive care physicians which is a very scots results so when you think of precook passages you have to keep in mind at the peak i. C. U. Utilization we 2 weeks after infections have peaks and there they havent yet so theres still a marathon to go with when could they peak well nobody knows. It depends on how good the people. Bind themselves to the things. To stop being close together and to wear masks and stuff like that we have a new high. Value today in germany too with 20000 new infections this day how practical is that flying around coated patients from one hospital or country to the next. Its not very practical especially when they are empty so you have to plan that in advance and try to bring patients who are not thats thats of the ill who havent been on ventilation yet so its not easy to plan that because patients we know that its not good for patients being ventilated and they have to be brought on on the long term the stuff shortages we hear about in belgium and the netherlands theyve seen Nursing Homes and hospitals os doctors and nurses to keep working if they tested positive but a symptom matic is that safe i think that should only be done in worst Case Scenario because the my our t. Of i. C. U. Patients still do not have called it but other serious diseases and when these patients contract the guy iris from tech that stat grave danger so you have to keep in mind s. A bit of magic people that doesnt mean they are healthy so we think to prevent this and our staff has to say l. C. And get a quick l. C. And this is very important because if you have to let these people work with the virus its really not sick why then is the e. U. Not coordinating a concerted a joint approach where we see countries helping out each other but not everything having to be dealt with on a bilateral level well we could have that done that. Methods lets say with the corona happy we could have done that from the beginning all together. We didnt do that i dont know why would have been better i think so yes how foreseeable was all of this. The 2nd wave was clearly foreseeable people travel they socialized they enjoyed themselves and the sun and we have tried to do as much as we could by building and buying respirators by training people but especially i. C. U. Nurses. In all in all in europe a scarce resource and it takes 2 years training on top of the regular nurses training so kind of we have to work with what weve got and we have now in germany especially we have its very important to take away paperwork from them so that they we need can spend all that time. With the patients and the other thing we could do is childcare you know to improve childcare and hospitals so especially during off hours what about high risk groups what else can be done to protect them so that they dont end up in intensive care in the hospitals. Its you have to reduce social contacts use of a p 2 must possibly ended jan tests possibly but these measures make only sense when used together one is no substitute for the other and when you when we are talking about isolating risk groups we have to be and mind that. That in germany. The number are for germany at around 20 percent due to the demographics and due to the illnesses of population belong to a risk group so targeting only risk groups with a color on asteroids or to be able to not work to something on a pleasure having you on the show today thank you very much thank you have a good day.

What impact is the parent to make having on the hunger crisis. Predictably qubit 19 is making it a lot worse according to the United NationsWorld Food Program which is the organization that was awarded this years Nobel Peace Prize the number of people worldwide who suffer from crisis level hunger could almost double by the end of this year it also says that the region hit hardest so far is latin america thats followed by central and Southern Africa and and oxfam estimates that if we dont do more to limit the social and Economic Impact of the virus up to 12000 people a day could soon be dying from the effects of undernourishment just to compare even on the very worst days for mortality so far in the pandemic there have never been more than 10000 deaths attributed to the virus in 24 hours i think that the most vicious aspect of this crisis is that with the exception of a few countries food is actually available and many of the places that are suffering most of famine isnt being only driven by a lack of food but also by the simple fact that people no longer have the means to buy it the hunger crisis is not only expanding rapidly because of disruptions in supply chains although thats certainly contributing to the problem its also due to dropping income among many of the worlds most vulnerable the poor who simply. Cant afford to buy food for themselves and their families in the war and the crisis isnt just limited to regions that face problems before the pandemic began tobit 19 is now also impacting Food Security for people in middle and high Income Countries from from india to brazil to the us.
