pennsylvania has huge electoral couege pennsylvania has huge electoral college votes to give, that is 20 that this particular state so that would put him well over the line at 273, and then it's game over for donald trump but, as i said, and that preference or press conference, they said thatjoe biden is on his way to getting the state of pennsylvania and, really, i wasjust in wisconsin and this area, the midwest and pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania were part of the so—called blue well. that is what hillary clinton called it in 2016, and donald trump managed to smash that's blue well and we are now seeing that blue wall of blue wave return here. in pennsylvania if joe biden does in fact when the state of the commonwealth. i do also wa nt to state of the commonwealth. i do also want to point out to our viewers how significant philadelphia is. it is the birthplace of american democracy. this is where the declaration of independence happened in 1776. this is also where the constitutional convention happened in 1787. so, the fact that democracy is being played out here in pennsylvania is incredibly significant. that was yalda hakim live in pennsylvania in the latest

and fog for many of us, but once that lifted away, we had some beautiful sunshine. today was no exception — you can see from the satellite picture. as we head into the weekend, however, we going to see some subtle changes. the potential for however, we going to see some subtle changes. the potentialfor it however, we going to see some subtle changes. the potential for it to however, we going to see some subtle changes. the potentialfor it to be a little bit milder in one of the reasons is more cloud around and there will be a little bit more on there will be a little bit more on the way showery rain potentially on sunday. more than that in just a moment. the here and now that we will continue to hear some clearing skies fog forming torso in scotland, particularly across the vale of york where it could be quite dense and parts of wales as well. chilly is well under those clear skies, low single figures for some. bit more of a breeze, not quite as cold across the far south—western as we go through the morning so that fog could lift show or slowly into low cloud and sit there for much of the day, particularly across central and southern england. we'll need to watch that. some of the spells of sunshine, though, through scotland, northern ireland, southern england and along the channel coast. we should see temperatures speaking at around 15 or 16 celsius. as we move out of saturday into sunday we're going to start to see the signs of that change. they show is on to the south—west, it is a weather front is approaching from the south—west, i survive the further west you are, the breeze picking up but from a southerly direction, that is going to be driving him out there with it but on sunday they will be more than the way of cloud around, it will be showery bits of pieces sweeping up from the west lifting away steadily north so not all of us will see rain, it will be a cloudy day, ten to 16 degrees. it does look as though this trend is set to continue into our week ahead so the second week of november looks likely to be dominated by high pressure, blocking these lows that are trying to push on from the atlantic so all the time they will be starting to moving from they will be starting to moving from the west and brings some rain but not particularly significant. so it means that the further east you go, as you go through the week, it will be dry with some sunny spells, some showery outbreaks of rain in the west. this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk this is bbc news live from washington and london. the us
