150 people a day did what a mama and dozens more in honduras and mexico the hurricane has now been downgraded to a tropical storm but the damage has already they done. i'm rebecca rida's welcome to the program more than 3 days after the polls closed in the u.s. there is still no official winner of the u.s. election let's have a look at the results as they stand at the moment the overall picture hasn't shifted folk want a while now so far democratic candidate joe biden has 264 electoral college votes republican president donald trump 204 tane that's according to the i pay news agency now remember the candidates need $270.00 electoral college votes to win pennsylvania. it would be

a massive prize with its 20 alecto college votes joe biden's laid there is currently around $29000.00 with 99 percent of votes counted the mail in votes being counted have been heavily favoring the democratic candidate in georgia with its 16 electoral votes is also extremely close biden has pulled ahead of trump with a difference of just over $4000.00 votes so a recount that is expected now overall donald trump's path to victory is looking increasingly narrow the states in red or blue have been cold by pay for trouble biden states in the lighter blue or in pink leaning toward biden or trump respectively any one of the remaining states will give joe biden the win president trump however needs a combination of states to win what is a few hours ago biden made another public announcement he told supporters democrats would win this race and with a clear majority let's take a listen to what he had to say we're going to win this race to circle it has

happened since yesterday 24 hours we are behind in georgia now are ahead and we're going to win that state 24 hours ago we ran offensive aim and we are going to win pennsylvania an hour ahead but we were new arizona nevada in fact our lead just doubled in nevada wrong track to have over $300.00 electoral votes electoral college votes and look at the national numbers we're going to win this race with a clear majority in the nation behind us we've gotten over 74000000 votes the repeat that 74000000 votes that's more than any presidential ticket has ever gotten in the history of united states of america. and the vote still grown who

became don't want to grow over 4000000 votes nazi margin will still rule in his world. president trump has vowed to challenge the result of the election blaming biden's guns on what he calls illegal ballots from supporters have turned up at counting centers to demonstrate earlier i spoke to our correspondent carolina chinmoy washington about that and asked her if there's anything in particular we should be concerned about the moment the narrative of donald trump we should be concerned about that because he is still dividing this country and we should not forget he has really a large support behind him and there are a lot of people who blindly believe in him and follow him and these are the ones who are going out who are going to protests in different states we have been seeing him during that they have been out in arizona they have been out in pennsylvania and in detroit there have been also some trump supporters who even have weapons

with them so this is a narrative really has. an impact on the tram supporters and the big question is what we're going to see once we have a winner of this elections are we going to see an atmosphere that is even more tens and more people on the streets or not. all right for more i'm joined in the studio by chief international editor richard walker richard hi thanks for coming and as we just saw there trump support of getting someone desperate has there been any reaction from the trump campaign and yet more publicly the drum campaign is saying that it's pushing ahead with these multiple on these multiple levels you know a recount taking place in georgia legal challenges taking place potentially in a number of states but i think it's quite interesting to see what the campaign is also saying a little bit more under the radar to its own supporters the kind of message that is

is bringing people out on the streets as we've just heard so i'm on the mailing list in fact for the campaign and in the course of 9 hours over the over the night here european time 14 emails came from the trunk campaign with messages such as we need to keep pushing illegal ballots will not be counted this is no longer about any single election your support is critical we have to fight harder than ever don't let them get away with it they will steal the election if we don't stop them so this is poor ring into the in boxes of millions of trump supporters around the country it's not just what we're seeing in public on television on social media this is coming directly to donald trump's followers so it's no wonder that we're seeing some spilling out onto the streets and you know unless the tide kind of take their foot off the gas here and we're going to continue you know really stoking that divisiveness which i wanted to talk about next whatever the eventual outcome

this election has shown real disunity across the country tell us a bit about that yeah i mean this obviously this deep part is an ideological really divides in the united states goes back quite a long time and you can trace it back to the 990 s. in some ways but it's obviously intensified. 2016 election when donald trump got elected and since then. through the course of the trump presidency he's obviously a divisive figure he has really kind of stoked up his own supporters to kind of fight the fight with him and that's where we are now and joe biden who is not a figure like he's very much more of a center is try to you know kind of figure with a you know let's unite the country kind of message it's very uncertain whether he's going to be able to do that though. he's not going to win this and it looks like so the democrats are going to not have a majority there they've also lost their lead in the house of representatives has

been drunk so his ability to steer the agenda is going to be quite compromised he's going to have a very tough time and potentially face a very hostile opposition in congress or i did of his chief international editor richard walker thanks very much for coming. let's turn to some of the other developments in the pandemic president trams top adviser white house chief of staff mark meadows has contracted covert 19 reports say he tested positive a day after the election this comes amid record numbers of new infections in the u.s. germany has also set a new daily record with a number of new cases exceeding 23000 for the 1st time and argentina's president alberta finance says his country could receive 750000 doses of vaccine from the drug maker pfizer by that simba if it's ready and approved by regulators.
