we don't 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 is on track for the white house states though continue to count meanwhile president trump isn't giving up the oval office without a fight insisting that biden hasn't won lawsuits over the late ballots plus is it the world's greatest democracy we gauge international reaction to the chaos that has been unfolding in the united states while on the streets of america itself we get the views of new yorkers this claims of fraud. the democratic system

. oh you know. you got to put it the american people trust is a direct threat to our looked up to see trump he's frightened he's to find out what he's fighting for because 3 some kind of fronts in this country. hello there welcome you're watching r.t. international this saturday the 7th of november which does mean it is now 4 days since the u.s. election we are still waiting for official results in a handful of case states but this is how it looks at the moment biden does have the backing of $264.00 electors if arizona is included although some do say it is too

wordy 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 now all that said it does remain a very tight race with gaps closing in different battleground states nevada officials do say the camp there could continue and so thursday although the majority of the remaining ballots are expected to be announced by sunday and then in pennsylvania biden's home state counting will continue their internets weaken them finally in georgia the margins there are so small at the moment that officials have announced a recount democrat joe biden though is confident about his lead but has stopped short of declaring victory you'll have a final declaration. of victory. but the numbers show was clear to us a clear story we're going to win this race run track to over $300.00 electoral

votes electoral college a lot however donald trump claims that multiple cases of election fraud did take place his team has filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and also novara and says it 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 but 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 on the ground host afshin rattansi spoke with trump's impeachment lawyer on the president's chances of winning his legal battle. if you lose or use

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 you will prevail in the courts but that's his best shot what sort of time scale 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 from 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 before it 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 'd will close so i think it was just him saying what he believed and i don't think it will 'd have any impact either electorally or traditionally. well this election has been anything but small youth in

a prank at some of the international reaction. 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 sometimes messy it sometimes requires a little patience as well but that patience has been rewarded now for more than 240 years with 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 good voters that have been counted this is fraud this is absolute fraud trumped 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 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 it was the being in america does not quite correspond to the democratic culture we know from the united states it's important the result is then accepted by everyone it's easy to be a winner but sometimes it is hope to be a loser trumps late night speech puts

a question mark over his possible 2nd term in office it is hard to imagine what the 2nd sound 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 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 it's 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 1075 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 recounts some are 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 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 in as a country. well rallies have continued for both candidates across the united states delays in planes all of them to for a lot of create riffs and raise questions about the u.s.

democratic system we got reaction from people in new york. the whole mess go annoyed you know. you got to do what better for the people the american people you know i just want to put american people and what the white person is to see that's going to do good for the people of america that you shot 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 goal is that we can get past. this all the hysterics of the last 4 years and start moving forward as a country is no bull 05 at this point even though he's going to be lawsuits which is probably going to delay the presidency and trump he's right and he needs to find out what he's fighting for because teresa kind of fronts in this country so we need to make sure there is full democracy i think there's

a murderer who who remains my whole point is that i hope where were weaned people have freedom job. maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. now whether with a handful of states still to declare red or blue it seems that the counting of votes has gone into slow motion particularly in nevada.

'd thank you. for watching r.t. we'll have more on the election just after the break. 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 class in your society in your country because they can take liberties with the truth and project a situation that is false and put people down the wrong path. toward we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. hello again that it has been a record turnout for the us election but there's also a record amounts of covert 19 gripping the country the daily infection rate has passed 100000 cases with officials also reporting a shopping crease in hospital admissions america's trinity champus has the latest. 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 than the us now has the highest totals in the world while infections are increasing in nearly every state on wednesday texas reported more than 1000 new kovan 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 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 what bending 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 charges r.t. . in other news france has widened its crackdown on terror in the wake of

a series of deadly attacks across the country it's now targeting those who welcome acts of terrorism even if they are children in mass a for example a 14 year old afghan boy he was charged over remarks he allegedly made about the killing of school teacher samuel patty he was beheaded by an 18 year old muslim in october he 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 but there have been an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people some as young as 8 years old many are under suspicion of breaking a minute's silence held in memory of samuel percy and allegedly saying that his death was deserved more than 60 similar investigations have been opened the

new vols young people aged 12 to 16 used extremely repugnant loans which is a blow by the islamic state group which is very worried. it will be asked the question should children be held accountable and punished for what they say. 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 if among young people not the ceremonies of opus 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 which it has nothing to do with terrorism you have

allowed up in events 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 are ok with radical islam i mean we are in my saddle and i am here in france i have 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 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. war issued or they come from immigrant programs like the churchill who decked decapitated the schoolteacher is not racial because it's the radical islam is is the cause of the proud of the problem in. the european union has criticised 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 us election parties porous layer reports from the area 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

. 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 land 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 in most 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 bracing themselves for freezing cold winter without the homes to provide protection policy r.t. west bank. now before we go let's have a reminder then i have things to do in the u.s. presidential race democrat joe biden there is 264 electoral votes just 6 away from the presidency while donald trump has secured $2146.00 k. states are still counting the votes biden has a narrow lead in nevada and georgia which normally votes republican and also leads

in pennsylvania will have the latest for us more stories from the weekend at the top of. the. hour. i know. i. i.

sputnik 5 has the world. just like its namesake the original. the 1st cruft to leave. orbit the world. many questions remain unanswered as new vaccine the authorities are confident enough to go forward with mass production. and the family states please. be able. to receive. interest in preliminary requests. billions.

for see. 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. this is a story of women women with troubled histories and complex cases. where not. the person that. they. considered the most dangerous of

criminals she's in a still. 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment it will give women on death row. anybody who thinks that because by islam the election we our problems are over that is simply not true the problems were there before president trump they're not going away you have problems with the economy in the long run you're going to have huge debt pay for the things you're going to do 3rd we still have a problem in the united states with racism we have too many young are going to american. jails are going possessions etc so those problems are under or. simply allowed in and don't produce not does not solve them.

i'm action or that they were going underground as who becomes the new so-called leader of the free world is decided through litigation coming up on the show so we're going to continue the lawsuit here we're going to bring a 2nd one and then we're going to bring a federal lawsuit and we're going to take a very good look at whether we bring this nationally we certainly are going to bring it here and wisconsin quite possibly will do a national lawsuit and really exposed the corruption of the democrat party but this is beyond anything i've ever seen before this comes when you think you have so much

power and you own the media that you can do anything you want if you count the legal votes i easily win if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. the election from us if you count the votes that came in late we're looking at them very strongly but a lot of votes came in late i've already decisively won many critical states including massive victories in florida iowa indiana ohio to name just a few we won these and many other victories display historic election interference from big media big money and big tech has trump heads to the courts to salvage his presidency lawyer and author of the case against impeaching trump professor alan dershowitz tells us why don't trump may soon win a 2nd term in court oh we're keeping the well we have the oil the oil the secure we left troops behind only for the oil now i can take you to any part of the world and

we put in 230-0000 or 150000 troops we can't absolutely and the carnage. but we're there and in the wake of an election that will arguably do nothing to change the course of us imperialism what can we learn from the united states history about a pretext for war and regime change we have to jaipur shot about the washington bullets catalyzing global con it all is the more coming up in today's going underground fast as trump goes to the courts to try and win a 2nd term i'm joined now from massachusetts by lawyer and author of the case against impeaching trump professor alan dershowitz who says the law may favor donald trump alan thanks so much for coming back on why do you think trump may win in the courts well it depends on how he is in the states if you will lose the election by losing pennsylvania that is a strong argument that his lawyers 'd can make that pennsylvania should not count ballots that came in.
