race for the white house teeth something tween joe biden and donald trump in battleground states with results yet to be called 3 days off to the election. if you count the legal votes right easily one of the counties should be shown to be declared the winner the candidates clashed over early ballots results with some republicans even smoking a role in the count. we also a panel of guests well conclusions they take from this election the votes count disputes the incident. so if they want to stop the tell the other so if you want to continue tell me it's a joke every night after night after night except when i watch the big board our

system is the worst to me also say that in the united states constitution voting is never mentioned at all welcome to odyssey international this friday my name is nikki carrier and you're washing off to the special coverage of the 2028 u.s. presidential election and it's not only been a nail biter and photons and resumed in key states to decide the outcome of this election the choice hangs in the balance with just a few states left to call on both candidates claiming those things the white house . it's been 3 days since the election and counting continues in battleground states to determine the next u.s. president nevada georgia pennsylvania alaska north carolina all yet to be called

let's take a closer look at how things stand joe biden has 264 electors if you include our zona which some say is too early to call if it does go blue he'll just need 6 more electoral votes to reach the 270 for victory donald trump on the other hand currently stands at $214.00 it's a close race across parts of ground states with both candidates closing gaps in various states over night in pennsylvania trumps leader the biden shrunk to barely 22000 votes while in nevada over on the west coast the former vice president is leading by less than one percent meanwhile in georgia both candidates are in a virtual tie and the race in north carolina is so far also too close to call well let's look at the pathways to power for both candidates troops facing a narrow road to victory he will have to win 4 of the battleground states excluding

arizona which we mentioned earlier has been called by some media for biden meanwhile the former vice president needs only to capture one more swing state groups of biden and trump supporters have gathered outside vote time dilation sites in georgia and pennsylvania on thursday from supporters question counts that favored joe biden as following the president's claims of fraud in the voting process biden backers are calling for every vote to be counted the candidates have clashed on the issue. if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. the election from osip in america voters sacred. it's how people of this nation express their will. and it is the will of the voters no one not anything else that chooses the

president of united states of america this tremendous litigation going on and this is a case where they're trying to steal an election they're trying to rig an election each ballot must be counted and that's what we're going to see going through now and that's how it should be our goal is to defend the integrity of the election will not allow the corruption to steal such an important election or any election for that matter as a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they aren't. ati's senior correspondent why does he have joined me to discuss the national type 11th from the presidential thunder. we have to appreciate the magnitude of what is happening in the united states 1st of all this is the most important election of the year you know the entire world is watching nevertheless what we've seen so far has been a mess really really a mess from from the perspective of the law trump as far away lawsuits like

fireworks he says that all these mail in ballots which the democrats have insisted on because of the pandemic edging their voters to to mail in their votes that it isn't 3rd that it isn't transparent and that it paves the way for fraud democratic officials never believe they could win this election honestly i really believe that that's why they did the 1000000 ballots where this tremendous corruption and fraud going on that's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i did as usual or even determine whether they're eligible or if it was a vote of the different states have different rules different different laws on how they count the votes or on the time table you know when they're expected to count the votes and all these all these words are coming in by mail and it takes even even more time and all of this it isn't doing america any favors none at all this

is a country that is more divided now than it has ever been in living memory and we see this out mistreats in the streets of america people are. angry this waiting is is fraying everyone's nerves people are on the edge and they're taking it out in each other and this is this is you know a situation which joe biden himself has come out and said that while claiming he's got the path to victory he's urging people to calm down and be patient democracy sometimes messy 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 that's been the envy of the world at giving joe biden it's right that when he says that this vote is an example to the rest of the world. i didn't believe even many americans would agree that what we've seen of the past few days through all the insults and the accusations and the

pettiness we you know there's all that much envy sure the united states is the most powerful country the world both militarily and economically the world is watching much hinges on who becomes president of the united states but envy no i wouldn't say that is all that much envy people being stabbed administrates near the white house because of the color of their hats or because of the slogan on their t. shirts.

this seemingly endless violence the conflict seems to become it seems to be becoming almost in denecke to the political system in the united states you know what there's there's less and less dialogue more and more fists and. force and you know conflict. now there is another crisis from all the lawsuits the trouble is far away ready they're also planning on making a big deal out of republican election monitors being barred from observing vote counting in certain precincts in philadelphia.

oh i am i know. what we're witnessing is perhaps one of the worst case scenarios where the election is 2 clues to call out both candidates huge wide margin to contest the election and given how. society politics have become in the united states contested election is you know is potentially a disaster catastrophe and trouble is already said that you do this election learned only in the supreme court. despite the warning of legal action several election commissions in america have insisted that every valid ballot was counted and accurately reported international observers have also said the vote proceeded no feeling they floundered trunks allegations of fraud saying it damages public trust in democratic institutions human rights lawyer eric cirrhotic and believes

the president will fight tooth and nail to stay in the oval office. i think it's there are advantages and disadvantages to a extended legal. battle if you will i think that yes if the matter is not resolved by inauguration day that seems to be to create a constitutional crisis in the united states however if the supreme court is quite aware of when an operational day they set their briefing schedules they will eventually irrigate that will. and will issue the appropriate orders but donald trump is fighting for his life he knows he's going to be prosecuted criminally when he's released from the presidency and if not he wants to stay on this is very personal to him however the supreme court can hear the matter and hear in

a quick way but i wouldn't be surprised if they want to throw that kind of curveball into it and make everyone has to hold their breath and be plugged into the drama into january but i suspect that the matter will move much quicker and i believe that we'll have the president elect. accounts being particularly complex in these contests there's been a shop price of mail in voting driven by pandemic restrictions on the market guest discuss the main issues to take from this election. look at what the prison is doing legally the places they're trying to intercede and serve and so if they want to stop the county other states want to continue tell me to get a concrete standard for that and as well as after show be read holder in 2014 we had to dilute it voting rights we need to get ministries records of who the

president is authorized to make things that the 5 border guards at the have national standards only legends we cover republicans are fighting against that since they like these and that what i was saying that metastasized into this year through what can i do what about that why don't we have one uniform federal law that says when you're voting for president maybe put it on a separate take it i'm not sure how this will work but why don't we have one federal law for that the question is what you're asking is a great question there's a better question to which i think transcends that why is it in the year 2020 when we can map of the genome we still have this archaic system which i think speaks to something which is which makes it right and right if for any kind of shenanigans we know so much about how the votes can be stolen we had terrible days of cold actors and literacy tests and our system of voting is the worst but we also say that in the united states constitution voting is never mentioned at all there's hardly

anything new selectors and that sort of thing they never got around to it so the question we have to ask is how is that right now that we see that we have something as archaic and as stupid as it. seems i think is really it's gotten him if this is not the donald trump that we're used to this is not the same fire and brimstone have bob how did you take it down to what degree. it will say it was embarrassing it was the sad final chapter to a set chapter in american history that something you want here. on an internet war ready we're looking it's a choice you want broken to beat him cards that almost everything you said in that speech was a lot it's all those little moments you find yourself getting angry a bit of the. barrel. roll call will understand me but there's no pair.

would you want joe biden to drive you home from the airport let me just talk about something right now when you put all this is side this is this says either something about is good or bad when we have a man but i'm not even sure knows where he is and he is most probably what we see is correct going to be sworn in as the president and i further predict since since we are predicting he will serve my term shorter than william henry harrison of $31.00 days when kamel harris will be removed immediately something will happen joel will maybe perhaps that aneurism god forbid something will pop up maybe coded maybe 8 maybe senescence but he will be moved because if you think of anybody thinks that joe biden is going to be if he is the he is the intended get it and you think that well my friends happy birthday cause you were born yesterday robert can you respond to that do you think that there is a likely i've heard from a lot of people on both sides who they all seem to believe that biden will not

serve his entire 1st term and i hear from democrats who say that the time with me are from republicans who say it would be a scandal but i've heard very few people disagree with that idea do you disagree with. of course i disagree with that idea or still by the term i think it's important that he does because he's a throwback to the oh that's what we were governing in a 51 to 49 country where we were we have bipartisan agreement we did big thing to big big projects of that nature we put people on the moon we won cold war 2 we liberated oh there was a western civilization that's what america used to do when we worked across party lines. this is a sham the fix is in the fix he's been in from the beginning all these states so you know just going around the voter and changing the voting rules claiming that it's because of kobe setting up the scenario where you think they can't finish

counting the votes in georgia or north carolina or whatever they're just they're just waiting they're coordinating with the biden people and they're just waiting to see how they're going to do this we all know it's a joke every night after night after that i sit there and i watch the big boards you know whether it's on c.n.n. or wherever it is and guess why the numbers more votes of come in in this state more votes have come in in that state and guess what biden picked up folks trump's lead is evaporating without a surprise this is really a travesty what you guys say is the actual role of the press in these elections i mean are we supposed to be the observers of the process because these days it does seem like the media wields so much power that it could actually steer perception steer the public's and ultimately steer the election itself through then . yeah absolutely you know we're supposed to be in the media the observer the impartial observer we're not supposed to be influenced or in this case we've moved

even past that to become the decider in fact i were in the arena is full combatants this is something almost unique to the presidency i mean the uncomfortable position of being a member trump or somebody who thinks the president should be defeated hope so. hughes defeated and yet finds themselves very sympathetic to the president when he complains about the media because steve is right my friend steve is right the president has got an unfair shake from this media and i think it's all people out there like me who don't think doctrines but a good president but we hate it that we have to defend the guy against an unfair media. wrangling on the elections overshadowed another heated race in the country both parties are still grappling for seats in congress in the days ahead of the vote democrats spent large sums on campaigning and in attempts to paint both the house and senate. that did not happen the house is expected to stay in the hands of the democrats although results are also still trickling in 218

seats are needed to win a majority so far we can see the democrats on $208.00 the republicans with $193.00 some experts calculate the blue majority will be thinner this year so far down at least 6 incumbents there's also a tussle for the senate democrats need to gain 4 seats to flip control of the upper house looks increasingly unlikely as the republicans already won 48 seats and have been leading in 3 of the remaining 4 races to get to 50 election integrity activist and independent journalist nico house told us why the so-called blue way you promised by democrats didn't happen. that stage was set unfortunately prior to the general election because well the candidates that i thought could be trumped which would include 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 will have to vote in support base awful party lines because that's seemingly where at least the democrats are demanding we vote on and by that it's the extension you want to have republicans of course staying loyal in most cases to donald trump. with a focus on the us presidential fight some electoral surprises have gone under the radar.

anyone else. and hold hold it by heart make sure you and this was a rattle democrats in the house do not feel anything away from the running to be your 1st district senator she was born and raised here in delaware. spanish spoke with former bolivian president evo morales who was ousted last year and made claims about the actual fraud were all those questions were double standards in view of the current electoral chaos in the us. when the right wing is lose they make accusations of electoral fraud now i hear in

the media that trump is talking about fraudulent elections in the united states so why then does he not turn to luis el magro 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 l. magro and the oas doing if they're not watching the us 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. so a quick reminder on who's got what so the outcome of the us presidential election

hangs in the balance with a number of states yet to be called democratic nominee joe biden flushed up 264 electoral votes leaving him to think shy of the presidency donald trump has 240 both candidates of the really tight in georgia while biden is leading slightly in nevada is also ahead in pennsylvania or across the latest results as the counting continues.

please the us has a history of complicated and heated presidential elections what's different this time is that the biggest political events of the last 4 years is happening amid the coronavirus and the rest of them to do level of civil unrest sparked by the death of george floyd and the lies of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. right there with breaking the city ordinance. say. these groups attract barely a week members who have taken to the streets make intro tasks look like full scale what you see here was only a taste of what's about to happen this demonstrators are sometimes heavily armed and they are not afraid of violence or law enforcement. if you will of war let it begin with us. or go into meet those groups and their leaders to find out

how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe just did for this country. when else truths seem wrong when old rules just don't hold. any new world that he's yet to shape out these days to come to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the wild the way they look even down with the white house. in the swamp on how you would think if the fall of the clothes. and then.

top that come on it'll develop oh man. oh man one. star. 6 6 is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what's his face.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallowness. sputnik 5 has the world. just like its namesake the original sputnik. the 1st craft to leave. orbit the world. many questions remain unanswered as new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production. poses for. one of the family states please. because no one from the. real radio received. interest really mean their requests. billions.

but she. writes this is happening. or go on the reaction has been exactly the same as it was. the world reaction is made of green cheese. but. it's.

times. it is our way through but how to make sure that our good intentions not pave the road to hell i ask a factor of altruism evangelist professor of philosophy at oxford university william mccaskill. william macaskill professor off the loss of a at oxford university and the co-founder of the center of for effective altruism it's really great to have you with us today welcome to our show was. great to be here thank you for inviting me on so all right so the movement here associated with this called sect of altruism i mean the very notion of this active altruism makes me wonder can altruism in the affected or even harmful and in what cases

yes i think senator lee who isn't very often is ineffective or even harmful so there are many attempts where people try and do some out of good but actually end up. achieving very little or just achieving far less than they could have done so for example a program in the united states called scared straight takes juvenile delinquents and shows them around prisons in order to scare them out of a life of crime but this has been studied many times over and actually it turns out that this program increases the rates of criminal activity among those teenagers in the years following the program so this is actually an example of an activity that is actively harmful not just in affective but most of the time things do sentiment of good is just that the very best things we can focus our time and money on do a normal amount to improve the worlds. let's talk about the inefficient ways to quench my desire to do something ultra stickwork i read an example in one of your

interviews a charity that for instance sends books to africa for kids to learn with but there's no teachers there so the books aren't really making much difference so your money is sort of wasted give me other causes that are ineffective enough to be donating to if i spend money on for instance alzheimer's research is it like money well spent is it effective. i mean something like funding out same as the search or funding cheat meant for illnesses that affects some of it just countries in the world you know these are big things to do making the world better but the question is are they the most effective things you can be doing and i think generally not and the reason being that illnesses that affect people in which comes these well there's already an enormous amount of money and resources going towards those causes so that includes you know many important issues like.
