going down the wire the u.s. presidential election has still not delivered a final result both donald trump and joe biden feel very confident they will end up the victor. if you count the legal votes easily when the count is tradition hers and i will be declared the winner it's a corrupt system democracy sometimes mr president trumps team is filing one lawsuit after another across the country over quote plenty of proof of voter fraud. and what you're seeing right here is how the 2020 u.s.

presidential election is shaping up so far lawsuits calls to stop ballot counts and allegations of fraud draw angry crowds to the streets. you're watching our 2 internationals a us presidential election coverage my name is donald quarter and i'll be joining you for the program it's certainly a nail biter as vote counting has resumed in key states to decide the u.s. presidential election. now 2 days on from election day and america still doesn't know who will be handed the keys to the white house everything depends on the key swing states that have yet to declare at the moment things are looking good for democrat joe biden he has the backing of $264.00 electors that's if you include arizona which many say is too early to call if it does go blue though that means he just needs 6 more electoral votes to reach the magic 2. $170.00 for victory donald trump on the other hand

currently has $214.00 let's take a look now at the pathways to power for the candidates for joe biden security securing a majority in nevada would give him 6 electoral votes which is enough to put him in the white house but for 4 more years of donald trump the incumbent president would have to win all 5 states where the result is still not clear and with the exception of nevada he's currently ahead in all of them although only by 0.2 percent in georgia although things are still up in the air so the odds are stacked in biden's favor. donald trump has broken his silence kayleigh moppin joins me live for more on this caleb one of the president have to say well now we've heard from both candidates post election we have actually heard from biden twice already but now we just heard donald trump's 1st public appearance since the vote on tuesday donald trump spoke about the fact that he is confident

that he's going to win and he talked about a corrupt electoral system in the united states for which he blames the democrats take a listen democratic officials never believed they could win this election honestly i really believe that that's why they did the mail in ballots with this tremendous corruption and fraud going on that's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots this was unprecedented in american history this was by design despite years of claiming to care about the election security they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i did as usual or even determine whether they're eligible or. now in the lead up to the vote donald trump often stressed that he felt that mail in voting would lead to voter fraud while he was at the podium donald trump went over many accusations of fraud in the

recent vote he stressed that he feels he is winning in pennsylvania by over 700000 votes but that republican observers are not being allowed to oversee the vote counting process he's actually filed a lawsuit demanding the right of vote counters from the trump campaign to observe the vote counting process in philadelphia now at this point it's also worth noting that biden also stressed that u.s. democracy can be somewhat messy this is what we heard from biden earlier democracy sometimes missing 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 the envy of the world. however donald trump differed from biden in he clearly didn't think that the u.s. voting system was the envy of the world trump painted

a rather negative picture of the u.s. voting system in the us political process painting widespread corruption as the problem blaming his political opponents for attempting to somehow subvert his victory in the election this is more from trump. it was no blue wave that they predicted they thought it was going to be a big group that was false it was done for suppression reasons but instead there was a big red wave. now with the few states still counting the votes all of them have said it will take some time results are not anticipated until at least tomorrow at the earliest in some states other states are saying it could be up to 10 days so the country is left biting its nails and holding its breath still no clear winner in the u.s. presidential election artie's new york correspondent caleb maupin thank you for those election updates now lawyer and former candidate for new york city council

marni hall law believes the trump team is on shaky legal ground. you know trying this law is launching a lot of these lawsuits god he's alleging that the ballots can only be county till election day the law is that if the votes are cast on election day or before election day then those are legitimate wants to count that is our democracy and the right to vote is very very sacred. i think if their race was really really close and it was it would end it would come down to one state like pennsylvania and maybe that would have some merit i don't really see that here i know the race is close in a couple of states but i think biden still will be able to eke it out by the skin of his teeth and really i think charges just firing frivolous lawsuits don't really have an america i mean there's a process and procedure and if biden winslade. there's no reason why.

that child is basically has to see that i lost the election i mean i think it's going to be very hard for trump because he's a narcissist and because he is you know it's hard to lose but i think that's what he's going to have to do it and he has to accept that you can says i have i don't know i think that trying is really filing these frivolous lawsuits but i don't think it will go to the heart. of the 10 sadness fear surrounding the counting of the votes has been playing out on all the streets as well thousands have been venting their anger around the country violence even erupted at some protests with demonstrators facing off with the police.

what you're seeing now are live pictures from philadelphia where voters from both sides have been protesting at the continued confusion over the election and why no final results have been given yet philadelphia is just one of a handful of cities that have yet to been called and the trump campaign has filed a lawsuit to halt vote counting in philadelphia claiming republican observers weren't being allowed to watch the process many of the absentee votes have yet to be counted but there is no set time as to when that will happen. with legal action

being taken and more threatened even if a winner is declared today it seems many people are going to accept the result for some time with more here's our tease of all these people that we've just looked at who are asking a very legitimate question as to why the raw no results they come from both sides they come both from joe biden's camp and from the trump's account and well they could be in for a bit of a wait because this even when all the states and all ballots one all of them are accounted for in all states of cooled this might be just the beginning over and then so to speak because already this whole election is migrating. and going into legal turf donald trump has already said that all of the states that have been recently claimed by joe biden will be legally challenge it and he hasn't specified which states exactly but this could mean wisconsin michigan philadelphia arizona nevada and the list. could expand there are only really legal lawsuits coming from

trump's team for instance in michigan and some supreme judges and some judges they don't really rush to take them seriously because for instance in michigan just recently judge has literally scoffed at this lou should see you essentially calling it just hearsay. the way the way he put it it was like oh so you had somebody said something bring me the real facts that's i'm not quoting it but this is very very close to what's been said so and this is just one of the examples and there surely will be more because trump seems to be very adamant about taking this to court for instance trump has been demanding that his team and his team members would be allowed in philadelphia by the way to witness the counting of the votes now the reports that even after the court allowed them to be present to watch the counting they still aren't being led in lots of there's a flurry of information flying around and a flurry of reports which have to be verified so there's that but members of

trump's team they have explained as to why they are doing this is that why they are potentially protracting and already lengthy election season have a listen they continue to count illegal votes that is unacceptable and it's given legal people. a sense that the system is corrupt we have to have a system where legal votes are cast but the harry reid machine has done is the row out recklessly ballots. and now they don't want us to check those ballots and we are seen discrepancies are over so there's that joe biden has already responded saying that he has a team of lawyers on standby to potentially if i don't trump uncaught over the recounting of the votes. both biden and trump duking it out legally juking out

juking it out in front of the judge their supporters again we've already seen them taking to the streets the election night has already seen scuffles and violence as protesters clash between each other not anything significant but again this could be just a very very smooth ignition which could grow into a full on wildfire all across the united states this is certainly the concern that is being world reiterated and echoing all across the social media and so on and so forth for instance just to show you a little bit more of these protests and these demonstrations coming from both sides here they are right. now it's easy to understand where the all this discontent is coming from because

people on both sides expected waves they expected tsunamis just of different colors people in joe biden's camp expected a blue wave and in trump's count they expend they expected a red tsunami. neither of that happened and the elections are really really close there heavily contested so people are already growing tired they are already tired of not knowing who is going to be in the oval office for the next 4 years and the thing that this whole election could be protracted for even longer because mind back in 2001 it was bush the. the ghoul election when they had only one contested states that was florida here trump was threatening to legally challenge a number of states so and back in 2000 when it was just florida the whole election day protracted for the whole of the month here again we're looking at potentially number of states a number of states. who did go all the way through the winter so what's going to

happen wow joe biden will respond to that how the supreme will respond to that there are a lot of questions and i don't think there is anybody right now in this whole world who know a solid reliable answer to that so we'll just have to see this unfold. now despite the legal action being taken several election committees in america insist that every valid ballot was counted and accurately reported international observers have also said the vote did go according to the law and have slammed president trump's allegations of fraud saying it damages public trust in democratic institutions. put the issues surrounding allegations of voter fraud up for debate. need to remember that the media does not call elections the process involves electoral college vote where the different states have to certify that their results were accurate if they can't do that we go through a process so we can this is

a very unusual in modern times situation but with the way i look at it when you look state by state what you see in the evidence is that is states that donald trump in theory lost which he may have won in 2016 happen to be states in which downtick a republican ballots have done very well if this is a democracy the votes need to be counted they need to be in certain states postmarked by a certain date and we've been received by a certain day i so you know we don't know anything right now we know where states have called the winner forget the media we know states have called the winner and have counted 100 percent of the vote for they've counted enough that the absentee ballots are not going to make a difference even if one candidate gets 100 percent of those votes so those states have called and they've certified that and there are states that have it now it's interesting that you know there's fraud you know that trump comes out in the census legal team there to go this there are specific and credible allegations of an

internal person in the post-office department event of triggered an inspector general investigation of a back dated ballots being mailed after november 3rd. with the with the wrong date on them so instances like that have to be investigated fully we're not talking about 2 ballots here we're talking about thousands tens of thousands of ballots in different states there are 3 kinds of vote in american elections and he expressed on election day in person. that he's expressed in person be sure election day and they raised a meeting in found out which is to sent by maine before election day and it went. the deadline for receiving that and how you count them depends on state to state but these are all very safe ballots because that is also even attached and the truth to all who sent to them and they compare senior sure and so

on it right so there is no space for trout now in some states these ballots needs to be needs to arrive by election day in some states then they can arrive later which is why they are being counted later there's nothing constitutional that this is actually respect in below claiming as a 1st guess said that that the votes should be there though it's only the votes at that riot by election day should be counted is is wrong and by the way if we were to square oh count being biden would have won by a large margin and in fact trans people in one state are saying stop the counting the other one are seen keep counting. america's system of electing its president is not exactly simple here's a brief recap of how it all works. well

wrangling over the presidential election has almost obscured another race going on in the country both parties are still grappling for seats in congress in the days ahead of the vote democrats hoped prayed and spent large sums of campaign money in an attempt to paint both the house and senate blue that though didn't happen the house is expected to stay in the hands of the democrats although results are also still trickling in 20218 seats are needed to win a majority so far we can see the democrats on 208 and the republicans with 190 some experts calculate the blue majority will be thinner this year so far they're down

to at least 6 incumbents that could add to the democrats' disappointment has it looks like they won't be resting control of the senate at the moment republicans are in the lead and the party is predicted to hold on to the majority it's enjoyed for the last 6 years that would be bad news for biden who if it tory a script find himself unable to get any of his left leaning policies through a right leaning house election integrity activist and independent journalist nico house told us why the so-called blue wave promised by democrats didn't happen this year. that stage was set unfortunately prior to the general election because well the candies that i thought could be trumped which would include tulsa gabbert bernie sanders and i would even argue and you yank those aren't the ones who are allowed to go up against trump in the moment that they selected the one of the male democrat in joe biden who's basically been by our standards a republican who is pro fact tracking just like trump who can be a little bit more hawkish on foreign policy than trump then you are setting the

stage for walk a fine will go well half the vote in support base awful party lines because that seemingly where at least the democrats are demanding we vote on and by that it's by extension you want to have republicans of course staying loyal in most cases to donald trump. politicians around the world have also expressed their frustration over the uncertainty surrounding the u.s. election while iran's supreme leader mocked the process european politicians have also expressed concern. it is also clear to us that we in the european union have every reason to insist that europe should develop its own strengths particularly in view of the development of the united states in international politics was a spectacle one says this is the most fraudulent election in u.s. history who says that the president who is currently in office is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u.s. elections and u.s.

democracy. but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we breach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise our democracies are in danger. now in latin america colleagues at our sister channel r.t. spanish had the chance to talk with abel morales the bolivian president who was ousted by the military last year amid claims of a rigged vote or alice gave his take on the election in the us and the apparent double standards at play when compared to events in his own country. when the right wingers lose they make accusations of electoral fraud now here in the media that trump is talking about fraudulent elections in the united states so why then does he not turn to luis the head of the organization of american states after all the oas know like no one else how to organize coups the oas is always

watching everything that happens in latin america but what are luis al magro and the oas doing if they're not watching the u.s. elections americans go to elections and vote but unfortunately the country is ruled by neither the people nor the president selected by them no matter what party in fact everything is ruled by transnational companies capitalism entrepreneurs this is a huge difference from the change that is taking place in bolivia in the us perhaps more radical fascist racist right forces will win over more moderate right forces that's the whole difference. whether or not trump secures 4 more years in the white house is certainly fair to say that he's left his mark. however it ends the election trump will go down in history his vows to drain the swamp build the wall and make america great again they'll remember him what they'll write about him will depend on the book the author the perspective if they loved him or hated him each

the greatest failure in the shastri of the united states and the worst with resumes america has ever had. the worst and most dangerous president where are you in 2070 when we had the worst president i would even argue that he is the worst worst president in american history she's the worst president the country's ever had 4 years of trump was 4 years of bitter conflict at every level he and his opponents fought it was a time when grown ups behaved like children in the white house and congress in the streets todd when democrats and republicans seem to put aside everything that they agreed on and focused entirely on everything that they despised about one another. the $252.00 congressional votes under trump's presidency $104.00 resulted in

disputes and clashes some of the initiatives that congress voted on would to block trumps initiatives they voted to prevent votes on things that trump wanted and we're not talking here about things like the wall or deporting illegal migrants we're talking about politicians who supported trump's ideas like pulling out of the iran nuclear deal when he was a businessman suddenly reversing their positions when he became president seemingly out of spite i believe iran will not change and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions well ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power at this time and this place for so many reasons pulling out precipitously without our allies involved does not achieve any of the goals we need to achieve and hurts americans in different ways but politics is politics right they fought under obama too if a little less nothing new about the media then specifically them losing their minds

and throwing away any semblance of balance out the window. digging up tax records or leaking calls to even investigating trunks foreign ties it's journalism that's what journalists do it's normal know what they did themselves on is out right and somewhat petty smear campaigns about how awful trump is for drinking too much diet coke about how much of a cheat trump is that golf about how bad he is at it about how his own wife doesn't want to hold his hand all cheap all dirty and for trump easy to dismiss you are shake do we are fighting to fake tears there are people in your profession that rate fake news. i'm the president or you're shaking the net result has been

a collapse of trust in the media the news it isn't news when the publication has and never did interest in maligning someone. never in living memory has the establishment tried to sink a president elected by the american people from before he took office with sabotage with leaks with set ups they did everything to make people believe in the trump russia collusion sham the kumi investigation the steel dossier about prostitutes and urination the mueller report all to make impeachment possible the impeachment of the president of the united states impeachable conduct impeachment nonetheless we should begin proceedings to impeach the president move forward with impeachment and this president has partners on impeachment this impeachment process cost a reported $11000000.00 trying to impeach trub $32000000.00 for the mueller report

countless man hours wasted and they couldn't pull it off at the end of the day trump 1 will be remembered if differently he was a tyrannical megalomaniac a man who drank too much cook who sucked at golf and whose hand even his own wife didn't want to hold he was also a man of the people the underdog who rules to drain the swamp that is washington and cost down the corrupt elites whatever version they read in the future they'll agree on only one thing it was a long and savage fight. let's take a quick look at who is god what at this very moment joe biden currently has 264 electoral votes with arizona which has not been called by everyone quite yet donald trump has 214 the 1st to $270.00 claims the prize. winning just one more state like nevada would hand a victory to by then while trump in order to turn the tide would have to take all

the remaining battleground states some like north carolina and pennsylvania aren't due to declare for some time and now we'll have special coverage from archie america. it was supposed to be a landslide we were told a blue way alonso didn't have the votes the polls were again while we roll trump may still lose this vote but can't explain trump is a fluke for a number ration state in what to expect next.

has the world. just like its namesake the original. to leave. the world. many questions remain. the authorities are. pleased. to receive. preliminary requests. but see. this happening. has been exactly the same as it was.

the world reaction is made. thank. you. thank. you by the small and i say that you can then say you know thousands of other. well my response is that the way we should think about what is just is that just as there's a child in a store experiment of you in this burning building you can say well also just children around the world. around the world you could potentially state a way it's lightweight in this situation of being facing a burning building just all the time.
