in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. some ground america the democrats put one foot in the door of the white house with joe biden and he gets quite clear he will beat donald trump but the ballot counting is still underway in some key states we don't have a final declaration of victory yet. but the numbers tell us it's clear to us a clear and convincing story we're going to win this race. for biden leads with 264 electoral votes trump has 214270 is the magic number needed to win the presidency. all trump insists his rival has no way to quote fully declare victory launching multiple lawsuits alleging the electoral fraud the

republican claims that sudden flips in joe biden's favor in a number of states on suspicious. the truck to vote counting in the presidential election deepens divisions in the u.s. the rallies continue for both candidates we go reaction from the streets. to go hold mr illinois you know. you got to work out what they did put it people get married to people you trust is a direct threat to our looked up to see trump he's trying to time he needs to find some of what he's fighting for because to me some kind of discomfort. has certainly been and now bites as the vote counting has resumed in some of the key states and they raise that for the american presidency.

democratic contender joe biden has expressed certainty he's on course to beat donald trump stopping short bow of declaring victory here just as supporters in the city of wilmington in the state of delaware. have a final declaration. but the numbers it's clear choice a clear story we're going to win this race run track to over $300.00 electoral votes electoral college watch. this is how it looks at the moment biden has the backing of $264.00 electors if arizona is included there's some say it's too early to call the election there but with the grand canyon state biden only needs 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270 threshold for victory a trance stands at 214 now with that said it remains a very tight race and gaps closed in different battleground states on saturday the

former vice president is leading in nevada and is less than one percent ahead in pennsylvania and georgia biden has taken the lead by 0 point one percent with 99 percent of the ballots counted the margins are so tight that a recount is very likely and the anticipation could last for days if not weeks in some key states now nevada officials say the counting should be finished by november 12th and in georgia the law gives officials almost another 2 weeks to complete the count on donald trump claims multiple cases of electoral fraud took place his teens filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan and arizona and nevada they claim a lack of access to the votes count for observers ballots coming in after the deadline on voting machine and authentic bent occasion errors some of the claims have already been turned down in nevada michigan and georgia trump insists the fight is not over and says that he could take legal action to the supreme court.

joe biden should not wrongfully claim the office of president i could make that claim also legal proceedings are just now beginning i had such a big lead in all of these states late into election night only to see the leads miraculously disappear as the days went by perhaps these leads will return as our legal proceedings move forward we discuss the contested counts with republican election lawyer terry compass and paper pits a cosmic professor of history at american university. there always is some fraud and a usually happens in the major cities and it's usually where there's one political party control of her political machine and people have quotas to meet about how many votes they're supposed to produce to keep their jobs in local government or their contracts and so that's kind of what happens it becomes very difficult once

those ballots are in the box to to invalidate them and so what's what poll watchers are for and why we try to have poll watchers everywhere to prevent those improper ballots from being counted the problem this year is so many ballots being cast by mail were done in private without any witnesses there is always when these recounts that happen there will be challenges about what legal standard was applied to keep out of count those votes and those issues probably will be taken up by the supreme court the mail in ballots that were received after election day were in. less than 5000 from what i saw. biden is going to win the state of pennsylvania by over 50000 maybe even over 100000 votes so the fact that that 5000 votes might be challenge is not going to be statistically significant and the courts won't even hear it unless it's enough to make a difference in the election is about $99.00 point present if not more clear that

biden has won this election he's going to probably win $306.00 electoral votes so he's not going to just win it by a little bit it's going to win it by probably 5000000 popular votes and 8 percent or 4 percent in the alleged and in terms of the percentage of the vote. rallies are continuing for both candidates across the us in new york we also people for their reaction to the vote count delays on the claims of the 2 for. the whole mess to go annoy you know. you got to do what i want better for the people the american people you know i just want to bet that american people and what the white person is in a sea that's good do good for the people of america that dish out is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody went for and this country well i think he's already proven himself to be

a threat to democracy my whole is that we can get past. this all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country there's no vote for it at this point even though he's going to get lawsuits which is probably going to delay the presidency from he's frightened he needs to find out what he's fighting for because there is some kind of fronts in this country so we need to make sure there is for democracy i think there's a murderer who who remains my whole point is that i hope where or when the people have freedom job. maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want us allies and adversaries alike have been reacting to uncertainty over the u.s. versus our correspondent in your to trying to hustle. of all the adjectives to describe democracy which stands for giving the people the right to choose who is in charge the man who stood up to take over the white house didn't pick fair stable or

strong democracy is sometimes messy it's sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years the system of government governance has been the envy of the world just messy or it's just gotten way too messy and his country we have received reports of many irregularities we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud trump campaign says they're going to court the biden campaign says it's ready for court fights protests bite from supporters and a series of vote fraud allegations by the president himself trump will go to war over this election and that is dangerous for this country there is quite a list of things appearing as cracks in the system take the mail in voting in times of covert when the nation was meant to rely on it at one point the postal service

warned it couldn't cope the president flushed the method altogether saying it would lead to a rigged poll if you read some of these pieces there have been plenty of such the media has been questioning the confidence in us democracy europe's been watching the mess in the wings with raised eyebrows but the polarization of america should be a warning for europe we are successful because we preach differences between countries and peoples so we benefit together if we lose the ability to compromise i would receive are in danger and the billing in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the united states it's important the result is the accepted by everyone is easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hoped to be. trumps late night speech puts a question mark over his possible 2nd term in office it is hard to imagine what the 2nd sam would look like when the president directly code for the abolition of the rules of democracy he's cool to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy here's

a voice of concern from allies to pat. we can say for the united states to get into turmoil and confusion because of the election is a minus for its allies and like minded countries but perhaps the most fascinating thing to observe is the smear by america's foes after so many times washington told them how wrong things are with their elections. what a spectacle one says this is the most fragile and election in u.s. history who says that the president who's currently you know this is a rival says trump intends to rig the election this is how u.s. elections and u.s. democracy are we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the united states and we hate it when they pretend to give lessons in democracy to the world dispute scarce and the refusal of election results by certain candidates was supposed to take place in developing countries where political conditions were not stable and definitely not in the country like the us but things have changed all these have

occurred to him the us and the us is not synonymous to a stable civilized and consensus based society and more now just for a giggle let me read out one tweet as an official one country a calls on country b s leaders to show commitment to the democratic process and rule of law we urge all parties groups and individuals to engage in inclusive dialogue to find peaceful solutions to their disagreements to heal national divisions full stop it's a tweet by the u.s. embassy country a in ivory coast country b. from the 4th oh the irony there's a reason a lot of western european nations stopped doing mail in ballots a long time ago france stopped in 1975 because the process is rife with fraud and i have to tell you i think it's incumbent upon the trunk campaign to say al gore took

$37.00 days to litigate florida we're going to go litigate and we're going to demand recounts some we're going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin in michigan in pennsylvania in nevada in arizona we want to get to where we have free and fair elections where every legal vote is counted in a trustworthy and transparent way the american people deserve it i was wishing and hoping that last night trump was going to look into the camera and say i'm demanding a free and fair election that the american people can try. not for myself but for you because you deserve it and i think the scary thing in all of this is at the end of the day no matter who ultimately wins half of the population of america is going to think the election has been stolen that is a very dangerous place for us to be in as a country meanwhile swing state nevada essays 99 percent of the ballots have been counted however the results are still unknown and the delays being mox on line.

'd just. plain. old. war with. oh.

'd about counties hopping on to the shadow of coronaviruses the country keeps breaking records with more than 100000 cases a day america is trying to teach as reports. the u.s. marking another milestone as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold a tight grip on the nation. according to johns hopkins university the number of daily new confirmed kovan 1000 cases surging 45 percent over the past 2 weeks to a record 7 day average of 86352 while the number of deaths are up 15 percent now averaging 846 deaths every day now there are many groups that are seeing record number. and we have more than now. so this is

a very serious situation room and it looks worse than the u.s. now has the highest totals in the world while infections are increasing in nearly every state on wednesday texas reported more than 1000 new coven 1000 cases and 126 deaths while in missouri nebraska and oklahoma hospitals are hitting record highs experts fear and dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the fact that there are very few hospital beds. in some parts of the country it's a sign that the health care system is. under very. epidemic is facing. all this amid a presidential election unlike any other polls show the public health crisis and the economy were top concerns for many americans but there are competing issues that trump and biden view through drastically different lenses. while president

trump has ignored the advice of his top health advisors and has repeatedly downplayed the virus. and then you get better in your view democratic contender joe biden on the other hand is rarely seen without a face mask and has made public health during the pandemic a key issue there's a lot of things we could be doing very massive ground but the fact is that. it's just not appropriate for. the pandemic also what pending how americans vote while donald trump supporters said they were more likely to vote in person joe biden supporters said they were more likely to vote by mail to avoid being exposed to the deadly virus reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. on top of all developments in this race and will bring to them as soon as they come in america could have a new president in a monster of ours or it could take weeks and news team has recovered when that historic moment happens we back off the break with more of the global headlines.

anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we our problems are over not simply not true the problems were there for president trump they're not going away. problems for the economy in the long room we're going to have huge debt to pay for the things you're going to do there are we still have a problem in the united states with racism we have too many young. jails are growing possessions are some of those problems are there. simply

a lot you don't produce not does not solve them. the u.s. has a history of complicated and heated presidential election 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 the level of civil unrest sparked by the death george floyd and the lies of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. right there with rick if your. you say. these groups attract barely a week members who have taken to the streets making protests look like full scale you know what you see here. of what's about. 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 in to meet those groups and their leaders to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe is good for this country. welcome back turning to some other world news now france has apparently why didn't it's crack down on terror in the wake of a series of deadly attacks across the country it's now clamping down on those who welcome acts of terrorism even children it must say a 14 year old afghan boy has been charged over remarks he allegedly made about the killing of schoolteacher samuel party he was beheaded by an 18 year old muslim in october but he was brutally murdered after showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed in a class on free speech the teenager who commented on his death has been released but

will remain under supervision is being demanded by prosecutors that he also be banned from school and from communicating with other students or teachers. there have been an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people the latest probe involves children as young as 8 many are under suspicion for interrupting a minute's silence held in memory of some your party and allegedly saying he's in his death was deserved in the wake of the tragedy more than 60 similar investigations have been opened into supporting terror the questioning often involves young people aged 12 to 16 who have used extremely repugnant language inspired by the islamic state group which is very worrying we discussed that with guests the spread of radicalization among young people. i don't think that the fact that they are minors should blind us to the extent of this problem there is

a huge amount of sympathy for islamic terrorism among young people not necessarily mine as well though perhaps including by those of muslim extraction if you put them in jail it's not going to help them because they're going to be radically going to be radicalized in the in the jails and they gonna get even worse we have huge amounts of immigrants in france and i'm afraid to say that the existence of these immigrant communities is a breeding ground for islamic fundamentalism and fundamentalism is a breeding ground for terrorism and has nothing to do with terrorism you have allowed up in events happening in france you have a lot of muslim immigrants in france who are in accord with the french law with the french way of leaving the fence and there are some events which are not are ok with the radical islam i mean you and myself and even here in france i had nothing

to do with their radical islam that's now the fact that immigration and immigration is part of the problem it is to some extent a cause and it has to be stopped it's still continuing at a rate of several $100000.00 a year into france and those levels are unsustainable incidentally independently of the question of islamic terrorism you have a lot of terrorism that are committed by friends people who have changed religion who have become muslim and those people are friends that's completely untrue there are no examples of french catholics muslim converts committing terrorist acts or 100 percent of the islamic terrorists who have beheaded people or killed them in other ways in france in the last few years and indeed this problem has been going on actually for decades ago 100 percent of them have either been recent immigrants. war issued or they come from immigrant backgrounds like the chechen who decked decapitated the schoolteacher it's not

racial because it's the radical islam is the cause of the problem of the problem in . brussels has blasted israel for destructive operation in the jordan valley that has left dozens of palestinians homeless are seen as poor as live reports from the scene. while the was attention has been focused on the american elections and no one has been looking here in a remote part of the west bank israeli bulldozers have been hard at work demolishing most of a bed when a village the results has that 73 people are now without homes hof of them children . really army arrived at 10 am and began an operation to demolish our homes without any warning doing so because a lot of operational and ordered to take people from the area but we are not going to limit it to this lebanese palestinian israel claims it is a war zone the guys getting among the structures that were destroyed or tainted homes the trains solar panels and animal shelters the only thing that remains here

without the homes to provide protection policy r.t. west bank. before we wrap up for the hour here's a reminder of how the u.s. presidential race looks so far democratic nominee joe biden has $264.00 electoral votes to. 6 away from the presidency donald trump has secured 214 biden currently has a narrow lead in the traditionally red state of georgia as well as in nevada he's just gone out in front of pennsylvania as well day with antti throughout the coming hours and days as we continue tracking the 2020 us election on all the key stories .
