and not having e‘fiir wit uur it"ui‘ii enabling him and not having that difficult conversation of a parent with a two—year—old thing, 0k, right, it's time that you stop this now because this is not the way the world works. and it's a question of when and if that conversation happens and what exactly it is that trump is trying to get out of this period in which this he's trying to hold power. employed to pretend i didn't hear what you've been calling him, susie. i'm going to gloss over that. just to say, republican senator of south carolina was saying that donald trump deserves a chance to have his case heard. picking up on those points that susie was making, this idea of whether he will concede, the daily telegraph is looking at that, and it picks up on what the joe biden looking at that, and it picks up on what thejoe biden campaign was saying, that they have, that the campaign to kick trespassers, using that word, quite a loaded word, trespassers out of the white house. yes, they are commanded certainly

has been a war of words. and i think there's been a big difference, actually, in what you see the objects around president trump, the press conference he gave yesterday, which she seemed a bit deflated, but also quite desperate and throwing around allegations that were completely unfounded. and then you see joe biden looking actually very presidential, talking about a briefing he'sjust had untold bed, and on the economy, and calling for unity, calling for people to keep call. it's interesting also that he talks about the divide in the republican party. there seems to be a growing numberof republican party. there seems to be a growing number of republican grandees who are increasingly uncomfortable with what president trump is doing. i think for many legitimate reasons, this discomfort is to do with the fact that their donors are running scared or this litigation will cost money. the president this concept, what if the politics, what a future democratic president behaved in this way? and

also, america's reputation in the world. this is more than about one person, one election, this is about out person, one election, this is about our country which calls on other countries to behave in a certain way, and rightly so, calls for free and fair elections. if you are set in belarus or zimbabwe, just to name a few other countries, you are probably looking at this and thinking, "well if their own processes are in question by their present to his been in power by the la st present to his been in power by the last four years and could have changed this process if it was so corrupt, then who are they to tell us corrupt, then who are they to tell us what to do? sol corrupt, then who are they to tell us what to do? so i think this actually has far—reaching consequences in the republican party are probably quite embarrassed, and there's not many people coming out in support of trump tonight. the new york times also looking at falsehoods and disinformation, and susie, they are saying that it's starting in the white house, i will give this to you. yes, there suggesting that this is some parts of either campaign or just

suggesting that this is some parts of either campaign orjust the source of the problems are coming out of the white house, and these claims that there have been problems with the votes, and we are seeing in nevada, for example, the state officials who run the votes are behaving very very carefully, and they are even calling in electors who have had a slight problem with their votes to come in and skewer their votes to come in and skewer the ballot to confirm, bring their id to confirm that, for some reason they filled it in slightly wrong, that this is definitely their votes, and this is the way they want it to go. in their state officials all over america who are fully aware of what's going on, and what's really interesting is that any court cases any suggestion in litigation that there's a problem with the vote comes there's a problem with the vote co m es after there's a problem with the vote comes after we've had a period of several weeks, more than a month evenin several weeks, more than a month even in some several weeks, more than a month even in some cases several weeks, more than a month even in some cases of lawyers from the trust white house in these cou nts the trust white house in these counts in the early counts and watching in challenging every ballot they can. there's been lots of

reports in both partisan and nonpartisan observers who are standing there looking over the counter‘s shoulders at the time and particularly republican observers saying i challenge that ballot, i challenge that ballot everyone comes out of an envelope, so anything that gets to court, and it's already been triple checked several times before we get there, so all the claims that are being made at the moment, there still doesn't appear to be any evidence whatsoever. important to stress that. thank you, susie. the guardian on the brink is its headline and its focusing on the turn out as well. this is a historic turnout, the highest turnout in 120 yea rs, turnout, the highest turnout in 120 years, and it's projected at the moment as being at 66.9%. we won't know the final turnout of courts until we know the final result, but compare that to 2016, 60.1%, people are engaged. people did engage. and i think there was more engagement across the spectrum. you know, young voters, voters from minority

backgrounds, partially, this may have been a reaction to the handling of probate. this could've been other tensions in the us as well around race relations, around the state of the economy perhaps, and i think it's a good thing that people engage, and a think it's a shame that actually people's votes are now being called into question in the way that they are by president in terms of the behaviour that we are seeing from him. but i think the engagement is also has another side to it as well. this allows the president to rally his base and you've seen that a lot with the language that he's using in the claims out there. this activating people and protested to the people genuinely believe that their votes are not being counted or the election has been rigged. there's a lot of misinformation coming from the very top, and i think this is deliberate, and could this be a distraction? could this be because other things are now not being talked about? may be the rising

cases of covid in the us, or could this be the president's way of actually paving i wrote to step down but make it look like he did everything he could to stay on. and he has some kind of ego and some kind of pride intact. whatever it is, it's very dangerous, because you see is, it's very dangerous, because you see through the pictures of the protests on the streets and the national security implications that this has for americans. the new york times, i don't think we can come back to that, but susie, scott images of the protests that are happening right now. of course, as some will be happy with what the potential results will be, others will not be. yes, and you have got to remember, this isn't the end of it. what happens next is that the various states choose and nominate their electoral college candidates, which happens on december the 8th, and then on december the 1ath, they are supposed to meet and confirm who

they are voting for in the electoral couege they are voting for in the electoral college from those particular states. now, there are some rules for those who are part of the electoral college, they don't have to go with the popular vote if they feel that it's not correct in some way, if there is some flaw in the voting process, then even if you do get those voting, they go to congress when it sworn in and the new year, the start of january commanded for example in a particular states, say in pennsylvania, georgia, it's so close, that you have democrats and republicans both sending their own electoral college representatives to congress, and they can't decide who it should be, then the senate has to count those votes and confirm them, and the senate is run by the president, which is bike to vice president mike pence, it's been up to them to decide which electoral couege to them to decide which electoral college representatives he's going to ta ke college representatives he's going to take the votes from, and potentially, if that happens, say nancy pelosi as speaker of the house, could then clear the senate and say, well, we will not have a vote on this, because... nancy posey

speaker about becomes acting president on january the speaker about becomes acting president onjanuary the 20th, and you have a situation where the speaker, donald trump and joe biden all turn up in washington at the capitol on january the 20th with a case and an argument for being crowned as president again. there is an awful lot of litigation and constitutional argument yet to come. so even when we get a declaration, that's not the end of thing. inks for that, susie. that's not the end of thing. inks forthat, susie. something to that's not the end of thing. inks for that, susie. something to look forward to. just the final paper. the mirror is picking up on a quote from the pennsylvania mayor, jim kenney, mo, and pennsylvania, of course, they both want those 20 electoral college votes, because of joe biden gets them, he's done it, he's there. but it's this big boy pa nts he's there. but it's this big boy pants quotes, talk us through the. yes, that is certainly one way of putting it. ithink yes, that is certainly one way of putting it. i think what he's saying is that the president needs to acce pt is that the president needs to accept the writing on the wall, except reality, make way forjoe

biden as the by all accounts, leading now in nearly every states as the next president of the united states. i think, as the next president of the united states. ithink, you know, for somebody who is basically saying keep counting the votes, stop counting when i'm losing, or spend months talking about how bad postal votes where, telling people not to use postal votes, and then somehow being surprised when his followers didn't use postal votes and the vote didn't use postal votes and the vote didn't come out for him in that format. so i think what he's saying is certainly his way of putting its, but i think it will be shared by a lot of people. also people who want to drive us to a close. it does feel like a little bit of a never ending story. and i think having a decision quickly would be good for many, many reasons. not much time, susie, but this idea of transition of power, he touched upon one scenario, but do you feel we are going to hear a concession speech from donald trump?

you are never going to hear concession from donald trump. they can chisel him out of the white house and cover them and debbie be 40 house and cover them and debbie be a0 and they still wouldn't concede. you will hear of sort of graceful victory speech from joe biden, but what you're supposed to do constitutionally in the us, the protocol is that the loser admits defeats, says good luck to the next quy defeats, says good luck to the next guy and the next guy then takes the victory speech. that's probably not going to happen. biden willjust have to declare victory.|j going to happen. biden willjust have to declare victory. i will tell you what, we just had an update, donald trump has tweeted that biden should not wrongfully claimant presidency. susie, i'm sure that will make you happy. i told you! joe biden should not wrongfully claim the presidency tweets donald triple tote —— donald trump. inc. you so much for sharing this night with me. and that tweets, straight off the press from donald trump. inks for watching.

hello there. after a couple of cold and frosty mornings with a bit of mist and fog around, we'll start to see some changes to the weather this weekend. that's because lower pressure will be moving in, bringing milder weather to all areas by the end of the weekend, but also outbreaks of rain mostly across southern and western areas. 0ur big area of high pressure which brought the settled weather will be dominating the scene this weekend across the near continent. this area of low pressure will start to push up into southern and western areas, and the breeze will be increasing as well. already a breezy start across the far south west. elsewhere, it's a chilly start to saturday with some mist and fog through central scotland, north east england, eastern wales and the midlands. the best of the sunshine will be across northern and western areas, and some sunshine also pushing into southern counties of england by the end of the day.

we'll also see some rain arriving across cornwall and devon, too, the first of a series of weather fronts. here, it will be windy. elsewhere, the winds light, but certainly stronger than they have been of late. so it will be a milder day across southern areas, 1a—16 degrees. another chilly one further north. now, through saturday night, looks like it'll be chilly and dry to start with across northern areas, where that band of rain spreads its way northwards. and by the end of the night, it'll be lying across northern ireland, wales, the midlands and into the south east. here, it will be milder because of the rain. fairly chilly in the north for a while, but those temperatures will start to rise as we move into sunday morning. that band of rain moves northwards across the country on sunday, and this next one will arrive later on sunday into monday. so, it'll be much a cloudier day across the country. that band of rain across central and northern areas will push into scotland, turning lighter and patch year. behind it, we could start to see some sunshine developing across northern ireland, wales and the south west. but here, it will be breezier, and in fact further north the winds will be a little stronger than they have been of late. the milder air reaching as far north

as northern ireland, so northern ireland up to northern england, southwards 1a—16 degrees, 10—11 degrees across scotland. but the mild air reaches scotland as we move into monday. we'll see more weather fronts pushing into mainly southern and western areas to bring outbreaks of rain. some of it could be on the heavy side. but the theme as we move through the week is for higher pressure to keep eastern areas generally drier. the further west that you are, likely to see the influence of that area of low pressure, which will bring further spells of rain at times.
