A number of states are suspicious. The poor track to vote counting fold claims raises divisions and questions over americas heralded democratic system will see people on the streets but their reaction. Is oh lets go north you know. You got to get it the people you trust as a direct threat to our democracy trump use rights when hes to find out what hes fighting for because to be some kind of friends in this country. I will malcolm im neki aaron and youre watching our special coverage of the 2020 u. S. President ial election its slots and we are now by the vote counting has resumed in some of the key states and the race for the american presidency. Democratic contender joe biden has expressed certainty hes on course to beat donald trump stopping short of declaring victory. Youll have a final declaration. Of victory yet but the numbers tell us its clear choice a clear and convincing story were going to win this race run track to over 300. 00 electoral votes Electoral College watch well lets take a look at the numbers and how they stand at the moment biden has the backing of 264. 00 electors if our zone is included though some say its too early to call the election that but with the grand canyon state biden only needs 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270 threshold for victory trump a standing just 214 it still remains a very tight race though gaps closed in different battleground states on saturday but the anticipation could last for days if not weeks the former Vice President leads in nevada though officials there say they cant could continue until thursday while in the state of pennsylvania biden is less than one percent ahead of from and in georgia biden has taken the lead by his 0 point one percent with 99 percent of the ballots counted so the margins there are so small that officials have announced a recount total trunk claims multiple cases of electoral fraud took place his teams filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona nevada some of the claims have already been turned down but trump insists the fight is not over and says he could take legal action to the Supremes Court joe biden should not wrongfully claim the office of president i could make that claim also Legal Proceedings are just now beginning i had such a big lead in all of these states late into Election Night only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by perhaps these leads will return as our Legal Proceedings move forward. If donald trump gets the Supremes Court to consider his case it would echo the 2000 vote when the court effectively settled the contested election for george w. Bush arties going underground host daschle returns he spoke with trumps impeachment lawyer dr Alan Dershowitz on the president s chances of winning his legal case. If you lose is the election by losing pennsylvania theres a strong argument that his lawyers d can make that pennsylvania should not count ballots that came in late its a technical argument but its the argument that prevailed in bush versus gore and there are already 3 or 4 justices who agree with that argument but it would take a combination of circumstances during the election to bring that case into a posture where you would win in the court so i think its unlikely he will prevail in the courts but thats his best shot what sort of time scale are we talking about would be about a month as it was in 2000 with the bush and gore i think well d have a result within weeks not months in pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think from always had in mind the 300 judges that were appointed under his Administration Given that he had already been suspecting vote tampering well i think he there are a lot of reasons why he wanted to appoint lots of judges his base wants conservative judges but i think part of the reason may very well have been as a backstop as a protection in the event that he had to take the election to court any president would think in those terms what do you think the rule of lawyers will be on behalf of trump will you be helping the case or do you see that it will be giuliani and his team who will be defending the Trump Presidency it will be giuliani it is chamber ive known really for a bite in the 30 or 40 years ive done my duty to the president of the United States of america by defending him against the unconstitutional impeachment charge on this issue im going to just sit back and watch d i have my own podcast or analyze the case and i will be an observer and a commentator but not a partisan supporters of trump say he shouldnt have given that press conference on the night saying the. There is fraud and waited a little bit do you think that will affect any Court Outcome because he was alleging both will fraud even before the election and of course on the night rather than saying this is the state of play at the moment well wait and see i dont think that kind of statement affects the courts that it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believes and i dont think you know any impact either electorally or judicially. Rallies are continuing for both candidates across the u. S. The vote count delays and claims of voter fraud have raised divisions and even questions about the u. S. System of democracy with the reaction from people in new york. Its a whole mess to go annoy you know. You go to what better put it people the American People you know just what the book that American People and what the white person is to see thats going to go put the people of america that do trust is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody went for and this country well i think hes already proven himself to be a threat to democracy my whole is that we can get past. This all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country theres no 05 at this point even though hes going to be lawsuits which is probably going to delay the presidency trump hes frightened he needs to find out what hes fighting for because to be some kind of front in this country so we need to make sure there is full democracy i think it doesnt matter who brings my whole point is that i where are we in that people have freedom job. Maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. Vote counting in swing state nevada is being criticized for taking too long government officials insists that putting accuracy over speed in the face of an unprecedented flood of mail in ballots but that being mercilessly mocked online. And. d so the proud you are select whole system is being challenged to the very highest level in the world has been reacting to uncertainty over americas vote our correspondent trying to have a pause. Of all the adjectives to describe democracy which stands for giving the people the right to choose who is in charge the man who stood up to take over the white house didnt pick fair stable or strong democracy sometimes messy it sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years in the system of government governance and the envy of the world just messy or its just gotten way too messy and his country we have received reports of many irregularities we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud Trump Campaign says theyre going to court the biden Campaign Says its ready for court fights protests by Trump Supporters and a series of vote fraud allegations by the president himself trump will go to war over this election and that is dangerous for this country there is quite a list of things appearing as cracks in the system take the mail in voting in times of covert when the nation was meant to rely on it at one point the Postal Service warned it couldnt cope the president flushed the method altogether saying it would lead to a rigged poll if you read some of these pieces there have been plenty of such the media has been questioning the confidence in us democracy europes been watching the mess in the wings with raised eyebrows but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise i would receive are in danger was a blink in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the United States its important the result is then accepted by everyone its easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be. Trumps late night speech puts a question mark over his possible 2nd term in office hes how its. Imagine what the 2nd term would look like when the president directly called for the abolition of the rules of democracy hes cool to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy heres a voice of concern from allies japan we can say for the United States to get into turmoil and confusion because of the election is a minus for its allies and like minded countries but perhaps the most fascinating thing to observe is the smear by americas foes after so many times washington told them how wrong things are with their elections. What a spectacle one says this is the most fraudulent election in u. S. History who says that the president whos currently you know this is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u. S. Elections and u. S. Democracy we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States and we hate it when they pretend to give lessons in democracy to the world these beauts and refusal of Election Results were supposed to only take place in developing states things have changed over this have occurred in the us which is no longer synonymous with a stable civilised and consensus based society now just for a giggle let me read out one tweet its an official one country a calls on country b s leaders to show commitment to the democratic process and rule of law we urge all parties groups and individuals to engage in inclusive dialogue to find Peaceful Solutions to their disagreements to heal National Divisions full stop its a tweet by the u. S. Embassy country a in ivory coast country b. From the 4th oh the irony theres a reason a lot of western european nations stopped doing mail in ballots a long time ago france stopped in 1975 because the process is rife with fraud and i have to tell you i think its incumbent upon the trunk campaign to say al gore took 37 days to litigate florida were going to go litigate and were going to demand recounts some are going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin in michigan in pennsylvania in nevada in arizona we want to get to where we have free and Fair Elections where every legal vote is counted in a trustworthy and transparent way the American People deserve it i was wishing and hoping that last night trump was going to look into the camera and say im demanding a free and Fair Election that the American People can trust not for myself but for you because you deserve it and i think the scary thing in all of this is. At the end of the day no matter who ultimately wins half of the population of america is going to think the election has been stolen that is a very dangerous place for us to be in as a country. The vote count is happening under the shadow of coronaviruses the country keeps breaking records with more than 100000 new cases a day aussie americas 22 charges reports the u. S. Marking another milestone as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold a tight grip on the nation. According to Johns Hopkins university the number of daily new confirmed cove in 1000 cases surging 45 percent over the past 2 weeks to a record 7 day average of 86352 while the number of deaths are up 15 percent now averaging 846 deaths every day now there are many groups that are seeing record number. And we have more than one now. So this is a very serious situation room and it looks worse. The us now has the highest totals in the world factions are increasing in nearly every state on wednesday texas reported more than 1000 new coven 1000 cases and 126 deaths while in missouri nebraska and oklahoma hospitals are hitting record highs experts fear and dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the fact that there are very few hospital beds slapped in some parts of the country its a sign that the care system is. Under very. Epidemic areas facing. All this amid a president ial election unlike any other polls show the Public Health crisis and the economy were top concerns for Many Americans but there are competing issues that trump and biden view through drastically different lenses. While president trump. Has ignored the advice of his top Health Advisors and has repeatedly downplayed the virus like wrong. And then you get better now your view democratic contender joe biden on the other hand is rarely seen without a face mask and has made Public Health during the pandemic a key issue theres a lot of things we could be doing very massive ground but the fact is that its just not appropriate for. The pandemic also was pending how americans vote while donald Trump Supporters said they were more likely to vote in person joe biden supporters said they were more likely to vote by mail to avoid being exposed to the deadly virus reporting in new york Trinity Chavez r. T. Were on top of all developments in this race and will bring them to you as soon as they come and america could have a new president in a matter of hours or it could take weeks on news t. V. Has you covered when that historic moment happens well back off the break with more of the global headlines. And. Join me every thursday on the elec so im unsure and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Thanks. To our welcome back and now in world news that france has apparently widened its crackdown on terror and the wake of a series of deadly attacks across the country its now clamping down on those who welcome acts of terrorism even children in ma say a 14 year old afghan boy has been charged over remarks he allegedly made about the killing of schoolteacher samuel party who was beheaded by an 18 year old muslim in october but she was brutally murdered after allegedly showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a class on free speech the teenager who commented on his death has been released but will remain under supervision is being demanded by prosecutors that he also be banned from school and from communicating with other students or teachers. There have been and the an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people the latest probs involve children as young as 8 many are under suspicion for interrupting a minutes silence held in memory of samuel party and allegedly saying his death was deserved and the wake of the tragedy more than 60 similar investigations have been opened into supporting terror to young people aged 12 to 16 extremely repugnant language is the Islamic State group which is very worrying we discuss the get with guest the support of radicalization among young people. I dont think that the fact that they are minors should blind us to the extent of this problem there is a huge amount of sympathy for islamic terrorism among young people not necessarily mine as well though perhaps including by those of muslim extraction if you put them in jail its not going to help them because theyre going to be radically going to be radicalized in the in the jails and they gonna get even worse we have huge amounts of immigrants in france and im afraid to say that the existence of these immigrant communities is a breeding ground for islamic fundamentalism and fundamentalism is a breeding ground for terrorism which it has nothing to do with terrorism you have allowed up in events in fact in france you have a lot of muslim immigrants in france who are in accord with the french law with the french way of living in the fence and there are some events which are not are ok with the radical islam i mean the media and myself and even here in france i had nothing to do with their radical islam thats now the fact that immigration and immigration is part of the problem it is to some extent a cause and it has to be stopped its still continuing at a rate of several 100000. 00 a year into france and those levels are unsustainable incidentally independently of the question of islamic terrorism you have a lot of terrorism that are committed by friends people who have to change religion who have become muslim and those people are friends thats completely untrue there are no examples of french catholics muslim converts committing terrorist acts or 100 percent of the islamic terrorists who have beheaded people or killed them in other ways in france in the last few years and indeed this problem has been going on actually for decades now 100 percent of them have either been recent immigrants who are. Issued or they come from immigrant backgrounds like the church and who directed capital to the School Teacher is not in the u. S. In the heart but its the radical islam is that is the cause of the problem of the problem in. Brussels has blasted israel for destructive operation in the Jordan Valley that has left dozens of palestinians homeless palestine says israel has times the means while the world is distracted by the u. S. Election arties poorness layer of reports from the scene of the incident.

Election israel truce does evening to commit another crime and cover it up to demolish 70 palestinian structures including homes displacing about 80 palestinian citizens the United Nations says that small structures in any other demolition carried out by the israeli army in the last decade and with nowhere else to go the residents of this village are bracing themselves for freezing cold winter without the homes to provide protection policy r. T. West bank. Well before we wrap up for the hour heres a reminder of how the u. S. President ial race looks so far democratic nominee joe biden has 264 electoral votes just 6 away from the presidency donald trump has to kill the 214 biden currently has a narrow lead in the traditionally red state of georgia as well as in nevada is just going out in front of pennsylvania as well stay with our team throughout the coming hours and days as we continue tracking the 2020 us election and all other case stories. That. Are. A. Little while the way they look you are down with the white house. So i dont know how i dont think its the fault okolona the report also didnt. Call up top that wanted to. Oh my. Only hope one of them. Sorry very sorry. 6 for. Everything in here is given to me basically these 4 tables that were given to me are really ugly so im in the process of. I think they only make in a little personal so thats another way of cutting costs this is the queens share. This is my chair from comfort i love it so its just something that actually when i bought it it was a big. And it was 1300. 00 so i made payments on the only thing in the house its really expensive for me now so this is my cue. And her Financial Difficulties have gotten worse since she started to accommodate her niece jennifer an unemployed single mother who has 3 children to take care of. Lindsey and jayden fortunately jennifer receives food stamps. Every months on the 1st day. Accordingly how many kids and year. They put in so much only i get every month on the far south 646. 00 just by fluke this for. 560. 00 euros a month to feed 5 people a tight budget before going shopping but 2 women check the balance on their card. And. Surrender and jennifer can spend their food coupons in any supermarkets like this Discount Store where they regularly go. Once at the checkout the food stamp card works just like any other credit card. And in this shop in the appalachian they are by no means the only ones who use it how many people pay for instance here. And probably have the right honey can its a its a its a lot yeah yeah. Thank you. Donald trump is planning to cut down on the amount of people who receive food stamps he risks making an already Vulnerable Society even poorer. But ironically here they voted 80 percent in favor of him and their support for him continues to earn a little extra money serenity had done some household tasks for her neighbors for a few dollars she also cuts jamess hair who works in the mine he is a Loyal Follower of donald trump.
