or pink or leaning toward biden or trump respectively any one state will give biden the win trump needs a combination of states to win following the tight race for pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes is stefan simons he's in philadelphia at this point stefan what's the latest. well the latest is that as you pointed out to joe biden took the lead here by about 6000 votes according to the latest numbers and the latest count don't forget counting is still going on at about 140250000 votes to be still counted in all of pennsylvania not just. in philadelphia they're still about like $40000.00 votes to be counted and they're counted right there they never stopped counting here at the convention center they went all through the night and hour shifts rotating rotating rotating there still counting there will be more data released to us and to the public. throughout the
4:04 pm
day and as you can see here let me fill you in quickly where are in right in front of the pennsylvania convention center here in philadelphia and trucks are common in our people are filling in the 3 in the same as we had yesterday here there will be music playing this is the count all votes crowd here on the other side through new not to see because you're right there's the banner right and wrong of it is is police and it's the center and they will be probably we expect them to show up at some point some supporters showing up and then a shouting match will ensure hopefully that's all which will ensue as we saw yesterday 7 everybody is hopelessly looking for clues to figure out where this election is going to go as far as you know our election workers currently counting those from counties that favor either candidate. yes so candy surrounding counties and districts of philadelphia for example bucks
4:05 pm
county allegheny county and other counties in pennsylvania they stopped counting for the night. poll workers and now they're starting to restart it counting so there will be more data coming in and more counties coming in to us and that only can. joe biden can establish a solid. foundation for the experts say. that he will take the state by proximately $70000.00 votes easy they say now that would not justify immediately a recount however the troubling ministration has already said wherever biden wins now here in georgia over every they will try to go the courts and ask for recounts and so on. stephan as you likely know donald trump
4:06 pm
a one man state in 2016 the 1st republican to do so since $988.00 and and joe biden of course easy is a native son of that state i imagine the tensions are high that emotions are high i can hear the noise on the streets where you're standing right now give me a sense of the climate where you are. tensions are i wouldn't call it 10 since here right now there is no tension in any or a combative way are now part of this can change easily why because they are 2 sides of this is one crowd which will be angry upon the other crowd and as of now it looks like that from supporters who will at some point probably show up will be enough to happy about that it will go but it took the lead yes you're absolutely right away there was a state in the blue wall the so-called who was impenetrable for 4 republicans for
4:07 pm
decades until donald trump 2016 he took. his defense of a new he took strength and well that has thanks for those althea looks like through again allentown erie for. all those the counties i mentioned the allegheny. and all now from red to blue however when i say that whatever comes in no. joe biden has to be here the level of return and that is 70 percent of their income still counted go past 2 if you want to profit from comfortably increases reach this trajectory he has to win it by a point by proximately 70 percent 75 percent of the vote count change of again every trade you get. stefan simon in philadelphia thank you so much.
4:08 pm
well with joe biden urging patience as the last votes are counted president trump has gone again on the attack in his 1st appearance since election night made a series of unsubstantiated claims that he's being involved of the 2nd term state election officials insist there's no evidence of any wrongdoing. 2 days after the polls closed president donald trump delivered his latest broadside against the electoral system if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. the election from us if you count the votes that came in late we're looking at them very strongly but a lot of votes came in. there is no evidence of voting irregularities in the u.s. because of the coronavirus pandemic many votes were delivered by mail delivered in
4:09 pm
the content mainland ballots are steadily increasing the lead of democratic candidates to biden. seeking to stop the vote count republicans have launched lawsuits in several states once the legal battle to reach the u.s. supreme court which leaned heavily to the right after he failed 3 of the seats with conservative justices. we think there's going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence so much proof and it's going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land the president left the podium to a barrage of questions from reporters. why are you arguing people about that americans don't want to know. on the streets trump supporters echoed his baseless claims for everything he's done a legitimate leader fairly and truthfully has already ruined my days already but
4:10 pm
they're just calling it so they try to steal it more and more for a file that biden took to the stage with a very different message so we have no doubt that when the countess should be senator harrison 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 we'll know very soon so thank you all for your patience but for you have to count the votes. biden's backers tunde outs in numbers in philadelphia where vote are still being counted here because the american democracy is that read and we haven't had it minutes tracing with dated. both planes that they are going to make you know that you're to tell them that election and training feel me legs and brain what i believe to be the correct way to. philadelphia ballots could tip the balance in pennsylvania and deliver the presidency to biden. it's me just
4:11 pm
a target of extremists please stop the group of armed prove trump conspiracy theorists suspected of planning an attack on the counting center it seems no matter the verdict of the voters the divisions in the country will persist long after the counting is done. donald trump's lead in some battleground states has vanished and the tone is getting shriller and more aggressive on social media but not only there let's have a closer look at some claims of fraud and manipulation where's our fact check. what did you find. there were a lot of claims on voter fraud disappeared votes or even votes that came out of nowhere like they said but very important these are all claims and you shouldn't believe all you see on social media as the avalanche of disinformation and lies is really growing right now here's an example from the state of wisconsin this graphic
4:12 pm
caused a lot of discussion what we see here are the counted votes in the state of wisconsin around 4 o'clock in the morning there is a sharp rise of the blue line which stands for the democratic votes for some people leaning to trump it looks like an evidence of voter fraud in a viral posed a user claim later wisconsin took a break and when they return biden could incidentally came back had 510-0000 words it is true that president trying had a lead of more than 100000 votes before the city of milwaukee reported its absentee vote results but once milwaukee reported those results biden gained a lot this is because some counties in this state and also elsewhere released their results all together and it means all at once watch counting continued in wisconsin through that night with poll observers on side the game by biden overnight wars and a miracle we have to say. ok your shot recently we saw
4:13 pm
a lot of tweets by president john or his family being labeled or blocked by twitter some of them contain claims about voter fraud could you give us an example. sure donald trump's son eric for example retreated a video that supposedly show a whole claimed 80 mail in ballots being burnt the video went viral on social media viewed more than a 1000000 times then was deleted and reposed again and again a lot of people retreated the video because it seemed to be approved for what several republicans including the president are claiming for days and weeks now that the mail in ballot system is allegedly corrupt but the video shows just a sample ballot or several sample of ballots from virginia beach as the city of virginia beach confirmed on its website the city official said and delivered to prove the burned samples ballot didn't have any barcode on them which can be found
4:14 pm
on actual ballots so conclusion the video doesn't show votes for trump it's just paper that is being burned. having debunked as your show what could your teen find out on this story developed really been 130000 votes that arrive secretly at night at a detroit polling station was that in fact a case of fraud. know it was and i really like this story as it's showing whole nervous people are right now and how fast misinformation can spread because everyone simply wants to believe what he might have seen this is what happened a viral video shows a man wheeling away again into a building in detroit the woman recording that video insinuated while commentating there may be a ballot box in the wagon long after absentee ballots should have arrived there so later people on social media claimed that there were 130000 votes in that black boxes what seems to be a scoop turns out to be something totally different that man in the video it was
4:15 pm
a t.v. video graph or wheeling in t.v. equipment for the news coverage so the station information and the sources of your information yoshio d.w. fact checker with some of the stuff that keeps american voters up at night thank you. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour. hurricane nature has killed at least 57 people across central america mostly through floods and landslides the storm is now been downgraded but drenching rains are flooding villages in guatemala and across the region forecasters expect to regain strength as it crosses the caribbean this weekend. kosovo's former president how she thought she has been taken into custody at a detention center in the hague he resigned from his office to face war crimes charges at a special kosovo tribunals thought she was a guerrilla leader during the war for independence from serbia and is accused of

committing atrocities against civilians. media reports say police are raiding homes in germany in connection with monday's terror attack in the austrian capital vienna the 20 year old gunman was shot by police after killing 4 people religious leaders have held a memorial ceremony for the victims. germany's health minister says the health care system could soon be overwhelmed if the covert caseload is not brought under control spawn was speaking as germany top 20000 new daily infections for the 1st time the virus is hitting many european states even harder now than when it 1st arrived earlier this year. a new somber record for germany the highest number of daily 1000 cases ever registered in the country germany is in its 1st week of a new partial lockdown restaurants bars and leisure activities are shut down travel
4:17 pm
for tourism is strongly discouraged while shops and schools are allowed to stay open. germany's health minister yes spahn said of the country's health care system is not currently overwhelmed but hard times are ahead if the rise in cases isn't stopped. the situation is serious the number of people requiring support in intensive care units has doubled in the past 10 days from as of today our health system is still coping but even the best system in the world cannot cope with a doubling every 10 days. after the growth rate is very strong and we must break it together on the dark. even germany's extensive testing capacity is under pressure let's say they are struggling to keep up with the manned but there is confidence that the current shutdown will help bring the number of cases back down the numbers that we see today or affect the
4:18 pm
situation a week ago because we have been conditioned period the numbers are slightly slightly improved we have to be optimistic because the reproduction number is below one and i think that's the 1st signs that things might get better here in our country in berlin people are taking reports of the record case rise in their stride many say they are learning to live with the virus and the restrictions. we see that even with restrictions in place the numbers still go up we just try to live with it now to cope with the situation i don't think about it any more than usual. pretty shocking i mean i think the governments of every country are doing the best that they can i don't think there's any right or wrong. i would go to people in the vaccines and i certainly believe that would help. next week chancellor angela merkel and the federal state leaders are expected to meet to take stock of the
4:19 pm
situation and decide whether to introduce tougher restrictions something most here in germany are hoping to avoid. and just up north denmark is to eliminate its entire population of famed mixed after mutated corona virus strains were found in some animals as many as $17000000.00 mink will be called in some cases the mutated virus also infected people medical experts fear that could jeopardize the infected nose a future covert vaccines. there are more than 1300 men farms in denmark many of them are in the minister palette of the office including piano paid arsons the virus reached his farm in early september he clearly remembers that day. and going to cornea it was like a wave passing through the stables it began at one end with the animal sneezing and losing their appetite and it kept spreading. but one week later on the following
4:20 pm
weekend it was over the animals were healthy again. the new mystery going to. be on a patterson also contracted the virus now to be on the safe side all of his 10000 to make will be called he never imagined that denmark's meant farms could develop into hotspots. it is thought that the coronavirus stems from the animal world it is believed to have 1st jumped from a bad species to humans via the pangolin in china. on denmark's make farms it is now jumping back to animals from humans. once a mink is infected the virus spreads to almost all of the animals on a farm in less than 2 weeks viral and just are concerned about this extensive transmission and as from scott's team analyzed the mutation on the mink farms and
4:21 pm
found it matched the virus found in some people in the region who fell ill. so the question we can see exactly how the virus spreads it comes from humans it is transmitted to minks where it spreads on mass and mutates in a manner we don't see and humans and then it jumps back to the human population and thus to the rest of the world market never have every 3rd corona case in northern new england can already be traced back to the mink farms exactly how it spread is still unclear but with ever more mutations in circulation especially those from animals the pandemic will become difficult to stop. conservation. of vaccine could lose its effectiveness and the people who have been ill might not be immune to the mutation so we would never achieve herd immunity. and that is why calling task forces are now rapidly traveling through denmark the animals are killed with carbon monoxide and boxes like this one they're then
4:22 pm
immediately incinerated along with their valuable fur protective gear is mandatory as any animal might be infected and here we have to kill 39000 menkes on this farm will be busy for 2 and a half days we have 30 workers fats and a standby team of 5 to 10 men here. and they will need at least another 4 weeks to work their way to all the farms a total of $160.00 farms are affected and there are suspicious cases on many more millions of manx have yet to be called. here's a look at some other developments in the pandemic polan has reported a record 4445 deaths over the past 24 hours and more than 27000 new infections was towards national stadium has been turned into a temporary field hospital the u.s. has again broken its own record for new covert cases more than 120000 infections

smashed the previous days more china has barred foreign arrivals from france part of a growing list of entry bans china has largely brought its outbreak under control but is increasingly closing itself off through tight travel restrictions the world is racing to find a vaccine against the corona virus germany's beyond tech is eating the way well another german firm cured back is also developing a promising vaccine candidate both have turned to south america to carry out their tests. peru is one of the 1st testing grounds for german vaccine manufacturer a cure back but residents of limas bella vista slum pay a little heed they're more concerned with just getting through the pandemic get a law you don't even get the corona emergency support from our government it's the same for everyone here they've forgotten us. but peru is not alone as
4:24 pm
a focus for covert 1000 vaccine testing most major producers have set up shop in south america and many are testing in brazil. in sao paolo hundreds of people enrolled in a study by germany's minds based beyond tech and us giant pfizer the volunteer test subjects were given the candidate vaccine or a placebo they aren't allowed to speak to us nor are they paid but many hope the vaccine will protect them also be able. to suppress aren't only hospital workers they're also ordinary brazilians who have to get up early and spend hours on the bus or subway to get to work. or by their brazil has the 2nd highest number of coronavirus deaths worldwide but to the people in the study see themselves as guinea pigs they need of course there's a risk it's unavoidable if you want to test the vaccine. results on the vaccines efficacy could be available soon by antec study in brazil is further along than
4:25 pm
most other vaccine trials. or could it there was give us if we think this vaccine will be effective. it will probably be one of the most important vaccines worldwide . by on text vaccine candidate could receive approval before the end of the year but cure or vaccine candidate will likely need more time to begin based companies also conducting a field study in panama. the country's high local infection rates are helping to generate results quickly and the cooperation will likely help panama produce its own vaccine. panama's collaboration with the german vaccine manufacturer will certainly give the country a competitive economic edge over other countries. sharing technology is also an important part of the deal for countries that host vaccine
4:26 pm
trials that includes peru. but back in bella vista many residents are worried that when a back scene is distributed they'll once again be left empty handed. but i doubt that peru's government would give us the vaccine it's almost impossible we feel like we were forgotten. thanks to trials in south america covered 19 vaccine could be approved this year but whether south americans themselves will get widespread access is uncertain. you watching the news live from berlin i'll be back in about half an hour up next our environment magazine eco india for more news check out our website at deja dot com you can also follow us on instagram and twitter at d w news i'm michael okuda in berlin for me in the team thanks for watching.
