you don't have a final declaration. of victory yet. but the numbers are 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 that is key states continue to count. meanwhile president trump claims it's him that's actually won the election and launches lawsuits over a late surge and that's for biden plus is it the world's greatest democracy international reaction to the chaos that some folding in the united states while on the streets of america itself we get the views of new york. democratic system.

ole miss go annoy you know. you go to. the american people trust is a direct threat to our democracy he's trying to find out what he's fighting for because there is 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 and we are still waiting for official results in a handful of key states so this is how it looks at the moment biden has the backing of $264.00 electors if arizona is included although some do say it's too early to

call the election there but with that state biden then only need 6 more electoral votes to achieve the 270 needed for victory trump meanwhile to stand 214 that said it is still a very tight race with gaps closing in different battleground states nevada officials there do say that they can't continue until thursday although the majority of the remaining ballots are expected to be announced by sunday in pennsylvania biden's home state counting will continue into next week and then in georgia the margins there are so small that officials have actually announced a recount democrat joe biden 0 is confident about his legal though he has stopped short of declaring victory will have a final declaration. but the numbers tell us it's clear to us a clear story we're going to win this race run track to over $300.00 electoral

vote electoral college lot however donald trump claims that multiple cases of election fraud have taken place as teams filed lawsuits in pennsylvania georgia michigan arizona and nevada and says it could go all the way to the supreme court meanwhile says too that he's actually won the vote after criticizing biden for laying earlier claims to the white house. 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 get the supremes 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 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 the bush and gore i think we'll 'd 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 term 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 traditionally.

well this election has been anything but smooth and he takes a look now 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 a 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 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 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 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 then accepted by everyone it's 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 appellation 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 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 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 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 to go 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 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 a recount 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. the rallies have continued from both candidates across the united states

to liaison claims of voter fraud created riffs and raise questions about the u.s. democratic system we got reaction from people in new york. because the whole mess go in or you know. you got to do better for the people the american people you know just what the american people and what the white person is to see that's going to do good for the 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 fun this country well i think has 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 05 at this point even though he's going to be lawsuits which is probably going to delay the presidency from he's right and 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 brings my whole point is that where are we in that people have freedom job. maybe care and they can be free to be whoever they want to. well with a handful of states still counting their votes it does seem the whole process has gone into slow motion particularly in the father.

'd thank. you watching our international have more on the u.s. election just after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development that only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to. anybody who thinks that because i just won the election we are problems are over that's simply not true the problems were there before president trump they're not going to worry you you have grounds for the economy in the room you're going to have to pay for the things you're going to do we still have a problem in the united states which raises we have too many young.

girls are growing possessions in search of some of those problems are. simply allowed to produce not does not solve them. welcome back the has been a record turnout for the u.s. election but there's also record amounts of covert 19 gripping the country deadly infection right is passed 100000 cases with officials who also reporting a sharp increase in hospital admissions america's trinity chavis reports 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 cove in 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 one now. so this is a very serious situation room and it looks to get worse. 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 dire consequences in the coming months especially concerning the fact that there are very few hospital beds asians whacked in some parts of the country that's a sign that the care system is. under very. epidemic areas

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. a pandemic also was 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 artane.

nothing used tonight affronts has widened his 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 marsay for example a 14 year old afghan boy was charged over remarks e allegedly made about the killing of school teacher samuel pattie he was beheaded on 18 year old muslim in october 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 well there have been an increasing number of inquiries opened into young people as some as 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 that his death was deserved more than 60 similar investigations have been put to

christine of new voters young people aged 12 to 16 used extremely repugnant language is the islamic state group which is very worrying but we 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 trouble there is a huge amount of sympathy for islamic terrorism if among young people not necessarily by those with opus including by those of muslim extraction if you can indeed it's not going to help them because they're going to be rather be 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 me wins in hat in france you have another muslim eat rats 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 the radical islam i mean we can we stand and i am 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 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 friendship catholics who are 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 prominent. 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 are these poor slayer reports from the area while the walls 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
