top that wonderful. hope one. day. 6 6 2 you'll have a final declaration. of victory yet. but the numbers tell us it's clear we're going to win this race stopping short of declaring victory democrat joe biden says he's on track for the white house has announced and. key states continue to kind of thing while president trump isn't giving up the oval office without a fight insisting that biden hasn't won and readying nor seats over the late surge in blue ballots also to come presidential limburg media outlets describe the race for the white house is suspended animation this plenty of reaction to the uncertainty surrounding the vote from the rest of the world and

a true or not voting claims of fraud do you see divisions emerge over america's much championed democratic system we asked new yorkers what they. could hold going or you know. you got to put it to people trust is a great threat to our. trump he's right on he's to find out what he's fighting for because the recent kind of fronts in this country. and. i welcome you watching our international viewers saturday the 7th of november which does mean it is now 4 days since the u.s. election and we're still waiting for official results in the. full of k.

state so this is how it looks at the moment biden has the backing of 264 letters if arizona is included although some do say it is too early to call the election there but with that state it does mean that biden only needs 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270 needed for victory trump meanwhile stands at 214 said though it still remains a very tight race with gaps closing in different battleground states nevada officials do say that the camp there could continue until thursday although the majority of the remaining ballots are expected to be announced by sunday meanwhile in pennsylvania biden's home state the provisional ballot count will only start next week and in georgia the margins there is so small that officials have announced a recount democrat joe biden is confident though about this slate but has stopped short of declaring victory. 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 ran track to over $300.00 electoral votes electoral college votes however donald trump claims that multiple cases of election fraud took place his team has filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and nevada and could go all the way 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. well if trump does get the supreme court to consider his case it would echo the election 20 years ago when it effectively

handed the presidency to george w. bush arties going underground host afshin rattansi spoke with trump's impeachment lawyer on the president's chances of winning his legal battle. if you lose is the election by losing pennsylvania there's a strong argument that his lawyers 'd can make that pennsylvania should not count ballots that came in late it's a technical argument but it's the argument that prevailed in bush versus gore and there are already 3 or 4 justices who agree with that argument but it would take a combination of circumstances during the election to bring that case into a posture where you would win in the court so i think it's unlikely he will prevail in the courts but that's his best shot what to the timescale are we talking about would be about a month as it was in 2000 with bush and gore i think we'll have a result within weeks not months if pennsylvania becomes a key state then i think it will take months do you think trump always had in mind

the 300 judges that were appointed under his administration given that he had already been suspecting vote tampering well i think he there are a lot of reasons why he wanted to appoint lots of judges his base wants conservative judges but i think part of the reason may very well have been as a backstop as a protection in the event that he had to take the election to court any president would think in those terms supporters of trump say he shouldn't have given that press conference on the night saying there is fraud and waited a little bit do you think that will affect any court outcome because he was alleging both little fruit even before the election and of course on the night rather than saying this is the state of play at the moment we'll wait and see i don't think that kind of statement affects the course it was done after the polls will close so i think it was just him saying what he believed and i don't think it

will have any impact either electorally or judicially. when you frank and i takes a look at some of the reaction from around the won't as uncertainty can. things to surround america's fight. 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 sometimes messy it's 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 and 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 cold it 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 here it'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 democracies are in danger 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 term would look like when the president directly called for the abolition of the rules of democracy he's called to stop counting votes is a blow to the essence of american democracy here's a voice of concern from allies japan 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 fraudulent 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 these beauts and refusal of election results were supposed to only take place in developing states things have changed over this have occurred in the us which is no longer synonymous with a stable civilised and consensus based society 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 days to litigate florida we're going to go litigate and we're going to demand a recount some are going to be automatic obviously in georgia but in wisconsin and 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 trust 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 as

a country. well rallies have continued for by candidates across the united states delays in claims of voter fraud created with some nice questions about the us democratic system we got reaction from people in new york. because the whole mess go annoy you know. you got to get a foot of people who are married to people you know just what the book the american people and what the white person is to see that's going to put a people of america that you trust is a direct threat to our democracy to our freedom and to our everything that we live for and everything everybody what fine is country so i think he's already proven himself to be a threat to democracy my goal 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 be 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 full democracy i think there's a murderer who who rings my whole point. where are we in that people have freedom job. maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. now with a small handful of states then still to declare red or blue it does seem that the counting of votes is going into a slow motion particularly in nevada. 'd

thank you. so we are still waiting them for results to be declared in 6 states it is a slow process but we'll have the latest developments as and when they happen and watching out international morning just after the break.

join me every 1st day on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you back. here's the smug clown to protect the class so they feel very comfortable with their affiliations and associations with the institutions that run america the highest level the permanent institutions that are always running america the matter of who is the president they have friends in the media and those friends feel smug that no matter what happens that they are protected it is dangerous to have an entrenched

smug in your society in your country because they can take liberties with the truth and project situation that is false and put people down the wrong path. hello again there has been a record turnout for the us election but there's also record amounts of covert 90 gripping the country daily infection rate has passed 100000 cases with officials reporting a sharp increase in hospital admissions america's trinity chavez has more. the u.s. marking another milestone as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hold

a tight grip on the nation over more according to johns hopkins university the number of daily new confirmed kovan $1000.00 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 from the u.s. now has the highest totals in the world while them factions 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 dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the

fact that there are very few hospital beds slapped 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. just not appropriate for. the pandemic also with ending 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. . another news france has widened its crackdown on terror in the wake of a series of deadly attacks across the country it is now targeting those who welcome acts of terrorism even if they are children in mass a for example a 14 year old afghan boy who was charged over remarks he allegedly made about the killing of the schoolteacher samuel patti who was beheaded by an 18 year old muslim in october patty was brutally murdered after allegedly 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 he's also been banned from school and from communicating with other students or teachers where there have been an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people some as young as 8 years old many are

under suspicion for breaking a minute's silence held in memory of samuel passy and allegedly saying his death was deserved in the wake of the tragedy more than 60 similar investigations have been opened the new voters young people aged 12 to 16 used extremely repugnant loans which is a blow by the islamic state group which is very worrying we put the issue for debate. 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 by those who 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 ratted began 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 which it has nothing to do with terrorism you have allowed up in events in happening in france you have a lot of muslim immigrants in france who are in accord with the french law with the french we are living in. some events which are not at our. ok with the radical islam i mean we're in myself and i'm here in france i have nothing to do with the 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 theories and that are committed by friends people who have changed

religion who have become muslim and those people are our friends that's completely untrue there are no examples of french catholics or 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 or issued or they come from immigrant backgrounds like the chechen who deck decapitated the schoolteacher it's not because it's and the radical islam is the cause of the problem of the problem in. the european union has criticize israel for displacing dozens of palestinians in the disputed territories palestine has claimed the destruction of homes happened while the world was distracted by the u.s. election artie's porus lir reports from the area. while the most 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 huff of them children. these really army arrived at 10 am and began an operation to demolish our homes without any warning pieces in operation in order to big people from the area but we are not going to leave this lead is palestinian israel claims it is a war zone among the structures that were destroyed or tainted homes the trains solar panels and animal shelters the only thing that remains here now wash say the only one on goats the israeli army confirms it carried out the stimulation and says it was because the structures were illegal got the union we lost our houses they destroyed everything but it was still stand our ground and we will not abandon our

land israel is a disease and it is a cancer which was spread throughout the world it neglects the whole world and listens to no one. but palestinian leaders have been quick to say the demolitions were carried out while the rest of the world was distracted. and as the attention is focused on the u.s. election israel chose to say evening to commit another crime and cover it up to demolish 70 palestinian structures including homes displacing about 80 palestinian citizens the united nations says that's more structures than any other demolition carried out by the israeli army in the last decade and with nowhere else to go the residents of this village up bracing themselves for freezing cold winter without the homes to provide protection policy r.t. west bank. ok well before we go let's have a reminder then of how the u.s. presidential race does look so far democrat nominee joe biden has 264 electoral

votes just 6 away from the presidency trump has 246 k. states are still counting votes biden has a narrow lead in the conditioning red states georgia as well as in nevada and also he's ahead in pennsylvania we're back with the latest in 30 minutes. or. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic

development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. sputnik 5 has the world. just like its namesake the original sport. the farce craft to leave. orbit the world's side while many questions remain unanswered about russia's new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production. poses for. what's going to move states please we may see you spoofing my city life in the because no one from the. real radio received. interest

in preliminary requests. william those of us from what she. writes this is happening. will go on the reaction has been exactly the same as it was waved by. journalists from the us. the world reaction is made of green cheese. well you should be reported. to. the us has a history 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 lie of the radical groups on both sides of the political spectrum. right there with breaking a city ordinance. say. these groups and. barely a family members who have taken to the streets make intro tasks look like full scale. use the fear. of what's about to. visit demonstrators are sometimes heavily armed and they are not afraid of violence or law enforcement. if you want a war lead to deal with us. or go in to meet those groups and their leader to find out how far they're ready to go to fight for what they believe just did for this country. this is a story of women women was troubled histories and complex cold cases you know some

really really awful lives out there. where not. the person that there is a cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all the off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment it will give women on death row. the world is driven by shaped by. the day there's things. we dare to ask.
