the. projections put joe white boys in the white house as the 46 u.s. president as the key state of pennsylvania to class more of its approach count vice president elect coming to harras described the wind as not just step out because she sent her congratulations. believe we did it. here given that it is president of the united states *. donald trump declared victory for himself in the election that could still be a twist as the republicans launch no suits over 8 saatchi and pilots. on the fallout from election night in america creates division and we have from new

york claims over 150 us democratic system. oh mr old boy you know. you got to do what's good for the people the american people trust is a direct threat to our democracy trump he's trying to time he's to find what he's fighting for because to be some kind of this country. hello you watching us international this soft say the 7th of november made its final days since the u.s. election and it looks like we might finally have a result a number of media are projecting that joe biden has been elected the 46 president of america having secured 219 addict world college votes just

a reminder to say. up until the new ted fanfic tree the form of the piece when in his home state of pennsylvania has pushed him across not threshold donald trump meanwhile stands at 240. 1 joining me on the line now is our teams caleb maupin he is stateside in new york one of those details coming out from pennsylvania a pretty big moment we have to come to hire a saying joe you did are you going to be the next president but my move ahead. indeed as the vote counting continues in pennsylvania at this point the results seem to indicate that joe biden has clearly won pennsylvania and pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes those 20 electoral votes then go to joe biden joe biden was then proclaimed the winner by american media outlets across the board and now joe biden has proclaimed himself to be the winner he has announced that he is declaring

victory this is what we've heard from joe biden america i'm on it that you've chosen me to lead a great country the work ahead of us will be hard but i promise you this i will be a president for all americans whether you voted for me or not i will keep the faith that you have placed in me now the campaign of joe biden also released this video of vice presidential nominee camila harris announcing to joe biden the results and this video has been released it's circulating the internet and it seems to reflect the jubilant mood in the biden camp take a listen. to leave the lead. here given that it is president of the united states. now kamel harris will be the 1st woman to be either president or vice president she

will be the vice president for joe biden and that is seen as a victory by many in the democratic camp she is a woman of color and she was selected as joe biden's vice presidential candidate and now it's also important to note however that donald trump simply is not sharing in this assessment of the events donald trump has tweeted out that he won by a lot and we now have a statement from the trump campaign saying that there are legal challenges ahead and they do not consider this election to be over this is some of what we heard from the trump campaign. we all know why joe biden is rushing to full sleep oses do we know and why he's meeting trying to to how they don't want the truth to be exposed so at this point the trump campaign continues to emphasize their allegations about ballot harvesting ballot dumping

they allege that there is some kind of voter fraud going on others raised concerns in pennsylvania about the manner in which the votes were counted and transparency and they clearly intend to file some kind of a legal challenge so while the biden camp has declared victory and while there seems to be an almost consensus in the u.s. mainstream media that biden is the projected winner the trump campaign does not accept this this will be going to court so even though today is saturday and the u.s. presidential election happened on tuesday there's still not a clear end in sight even though at this point we do have a projected winner and that projected winner is joe biden need outside that still might be some days ahead it is 2020 ofter what else do we expect that was caleb maupin reporting from new york well donald trump's possible lawyer richard allen he has stressed the allegations of fraud or will see the election and up in the courts . the syllabus each will be brought starting on monday. but

the 1st time it was discovered was here in pennsylvania just a couple of days ago. with the furious to see behind me are just a few of the. i'd say 50 to 60 poll watchers. all testified that they were uniformly deprived of their right to expect it is she who part of the mail in ballots. as you know from the very beginning the mail in ballots were the source of some degree of skepticism if not a lot of skepticism as being a reproach to fraud. well let's look at reaction stateside what you've got on your screen scale of people celebrating by what accounts joe biden's apart when here they are from the big apple times square absolutely packed with people who are happy that clearly the man they voted for looks set to be the 42nd president of the

you west don see you can see holding up posters smiles around that's not the full story because we will say go in the know this is washington d.c. you can see that is pennsylvania avenue if i'm not mistaken all the way needing up to the white house which that she been fabricated in anticipation of rights you can see a huge crowd out in force many ways saying flags beautiful tom and all day. washington d.c. being a strong democratic fold up even 5 percent of the scene photo from donald trump on the other hand though it's not all smiles because here we've got a protest by trump supporters i'm pretty focused in atlanta georgia which was a battleground state a lot of attention in georgia this time around the margin was so thin in fact that they are still and then 5 that we counting the votes but these people believe that donald trump was elected they feel. at least that's what a lot of people within the trump campus saying that the election was stolen and

they still believe that on the 20th of january if process is done don't trump will continue to sit in the right house. what if they live now to george from what he is senior research fellow at the global policy institute george always good to have you on the program let's start off with sort of the elephant in the room which is of course these allegations of voter fraud that are coming now from the trump camp we just hugged rudy giuliani giving a conference in pennsylvania saying that now poll of saga's have come out and said that was something dodgy going on we want to allow to do it i want you to take on this do you think there is legitimate grounds for concern about the democratic process and the vote counts. i think there are legitimate grounds with them so. the numbers don't really make a whole lot of sense to me keep in mind tuesday night was

a excellently terrible night for the democrats they failed to take the senate they lost a number of seats in the house they failed to flip a single state legislature. so overall it was a durable say there and yet the one thing that they apparently did so well was to win the presidency by an extraction only we can did it and by an exception we can that is who did no campaigning i was quite amazing this is somebody who spent his hour as a home watching netflix and drinking hot cocoa so it is very strange of course there are other aspects of it which is strange which is that seems to be an awful lot of ballots in which people simply fills out the box for biden but didn't fill out any boxes for the down ballot races so. i think there are clear ground or. legal action whether these lawsuits will prevail so it's

hard to know in advance but i would think that there's a lot of grounds of feeling that the something based missions going on well just to pick up on i mean we know that and this is something that has been discussed about time and time before that for what is nothing new and elections and in fact just last year democrats demanded and received a completely new election for federal office and north carolina so why i mean i'm going to pay double that to cut hay you know why not the same thing in these battleground states from joe biden's perspective it could be a win win right with the proper sounds ok let's do it again i believe on when i believe i've got the people's mandate you know what all human you. you're absolutely right in them because. voter fraud is actually very easy to achieve it's not like breaking in the pool of milk all you need to do is to sit on tens of

thousands of unfilled inviolate wait until you find out how many votes you need and then you fill in the balance which is why these filled unbalancing which has only a love of biden but none or any of the down ballot races looks like it's something just like we saw 'd on election night when suddenly hundreds of thousands of votes appear 100 percent of which will abide and so because election fraud is as american as apple pie because it's actually very very easy to accomplish and very difficult to prove because unless you can actually catch people doing it. this is very hostile and establish the many for the sake of waiting i mean we're going to have been criminal prosecution in the region bogs of both abroad but that's just the tip of the iceberg you have to think it has all of the votes of course cases

which simply went undiscovered he thinks the fact that he's picking up what or what you said that it is so hard to prove but that will just it will make it very difficult for trouble to be able to get a pos the state level and all the way to washington to the supreme court. i think the odds are against him there's no question that it's a very very high bar that he's going to have to cross because he will have to come up with compelling proof and because it's a difficult to prove you know that's that's going to be very hard but then keep in mind even if he fails in the courts it's not really the end of the road for him because then there's the next step which is defying the electors and if the republicans become convinced that they were robbed in the process they can place they may well refuse to certify the electors because a number in

a number of these battleground states the republicans actually control the state legislature so they may just well decide not to so they fly the election and even if they do surgical and they like this it's up to the house of representatives to the decline of those elected and while the democrats do have a majority in the u.s. house of representatives. the fact please tell me so that's why the electors don't buy the other 50 states and all the 50 states republicans actually have a majority i think it's something like 26 to 24 republican majority even at that stage is still quite possible more of the republicans in the u.s. house of representatives who refuse to subject by the electoral so. even if the court battles fail to trump he still has the next. means at his disposal which is the fight for the electorate now but of course we're just hearing that people

within the republican party all going to back on this now i was i know i shouldn't use twitter as a source of news but i'm not gonna lie i didn't go on it and i sold a lot within trump's team are actually quoting out publicly what he said. 2024 republican party nominee hopefuls who want standing behind trump now would you think the mood is within the republican party do you think they will go to the end because they believe they were robbed things they say you know what this is a liability let's step away from it let's just accept defeat. that's a very good question and one has to say how often though at this stage within the u.s. house of representatives those republicans lay off for roshan they've been fighting against the russia gate post for years and they're in the mood to read and they don't like the way that we're treated by nancy pelosi and democrats and i can

certainly see them taking up the fight the people that you cite who telling trump to concede don't say they don't really have much of a future within the republican party chris christie is a political has been. adam kinzinger. is the god of the tories neo con has no real following in the day. but it's true that. not everyone has the stomach for a fight the way donald trump has and it is that he's going to be hard to know where that everyone is going to follow him. along along the bridge so this is a battle but i think that you know trump is definitely going to pursue this goal and and i you know if you look at people like congressman jim jordan debbie nunez and so on these are these are very tough characters and i can certainly see them. following trump well such he says one thing that we've seen over the last 4

years is that trump doesn't go down without a fight he seems ready for bob dole time so be interesting to see how was how little pays out in the next couple of weeks george someone i thought was a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thank you so much for speaking to us thank you very much well you want to talk international we'll have more on the election in just a moment stay tuned. here's

the smug class 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 in a matter of who is the president they have friends in the media and those friends feel smug then no matter what happens that they are protected it is dangerous to have a entrenched smug class 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. join me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics for business i'm show business i'll see you ben.

i. hope mark doughty international and back to our breaking news from the us where media are projecting that joe biden has been elected the 46th president of america having secured 290 editorial college votes just to remind to 70 are needed for victory in the former and his home state of pennsylvania has pushed him across that threshold double trump meanwhile stands at 214 but right now 77 year old joe biden is claiming the keys to the white house.

america has made its choice about its choices a man who rarely leaves his basement who often doesn't know why he is are you very much all right it's christian but anyway i just heard chris i don't know are you are just good shark who the president has 4 more years of george you're going to find ourselves in a position where if the trunk is selected who has wife says this boy or sister very and i'm sure. i know you sure sharon who isn't even sure he'll make it a whole tom. who really managed to get people pumped up about him that's about as good as it gets for a lot of per i guess if you're looking at it from a progressive angle i mean i don't see what another coherent pitch could really be made and his son is as clean as a whistle not a liability tool story about former vice president joe biden's son hunter biden on

ukraine verified e-mails about hunter biden the yes joe biden set to be the 42nd president of the united states of america how one why it's a very simple he's not donald trump i don't know bubba thought that was the only criteria americans had for that next nita. if you don't like by both 3rd party don't give trump your vote preserve our democracy hash tag anyone but i mean but then sucks to but anything is better than trump has anyone but i hate everything and everyone but i hate hash tag and you want trump. people's motivation to vote 2016 hash tag anyone but hillary 2020 hash tag anyone but trump it's a sad statement when your political candidates only real qualification is that they're not the. their candidates. which obviously gave donald trump

a pretty slim chance despite his optimism. the u.s. inched closer 222-5000 covert relate to deaths but term continued pushing the vibe of it's just the flu don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines but not everyone is the president being pumped with an experimental antibodies cocktail at a top clinic in fact not everyone's got access to health care so a tough crowd to talk about the best medicines to other tough crowds the ones rioting on the streets across the country. thank you. thank you

thank you. thank you no one can deny that division in america is a tale as old as the nation itself but with trump such a polarizing figure with those loyal to him as much of a cult as those dancing on his grave when he got covert 19 what seemed like a crack turned into this chasm with him in the oval office and the media tired of reporting on what i read but mostly peaceful protests and still upset by the fact that they've been made to look like fools and 2016 spent 4 years trying to get america on board to take down trump train the president of the united states is a very says the greatest failure in the shastri of the united states the worst president in the history of the united states from the beginning he is. betraying the true true you know while grandpa joe could sniff him out he wanted if i would have a ukrainian prosecutor he wanted to promote which i have a son he wanted and still get. painted as

a sweetie saving the soul of america is the glad hand or he'll make you smile make you laugh and he or feel he cares and he has but the it was a good man a decent man is a multilateral rist he's an institution building what he does is this really wide appeal that makes an acceptable to the greatest range given all this you can ask did even need to leave his basement one he was set up to succeed while trump will set up for failure as the american people they were set up for disappointment because they have to choose between a 77 year old suspected of senility and a 74 year old accused of narcissism while an exceptional choice for an exceptional country as for trump don't worry about him he's already got his next gig lined up. sometimes i say that's going to be a great story be

a pretty good report another as good as you. are so i love that idea i think i can do that. well let's cross live now to our europe correspondent charlotte depends who's in paris. by jim claims he's beaten trump trump says he is the victor stateside we're seeing mixed reaction how about a brawl with what's been. well leaders in europe have been biding their time for the last few days to tweet their congratulations to america's next president joe biden says it's him that's what's been called by some of the u.s. networks and immediately the congratulations have been flooding in from european leaders i just want to take you through a couple of them we've had a reaction from president of france in the last few minutes hugh said that there was a lot to do to overcome today's challenges and he wanted to work together saying let's

work together also congratulations from. love von delay and she's the european commission of present and she said she looks forward to working with the biden harris presidency and sebastian kurtz the chancellor of austria saying that you know he showed values and they had shared values and these are values of standing up for things that they believe in and he said that he looked forward to future cooperation there was also a reaction over in ireland from the irish prime minister who talked about joe biden being a true friend to the country let's not forget joe biden has irish roots so you can imagine lots of people there might be rooting for him and he said that he looks forward to their relationship in the future also reaction from the sturgeon 1st when the start of scotland who not only congratulated biden but mentioned the fact

that kemal harriss who is now the vice president elect if of course your button has won this election she would become the 1st female vice president in history so a real historical moment there was also reaction and were actually from the u.k. prime minister boris johnson. congratulations to joe biden on his election as president of the united states and to come our harris on her historic achievement the u.s. is our most important ally and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from climate change to trade and security. lots of reaction too from m.p.'s representing green parties all happy that if it is a biden presidency he has said that on his 1st day in office he would take the u.s. back into the paris climate accord which of course donald trump famously took the u.s. out of and of course there's not always everybody's going to be happy about this

live in his prime minister who just on wednesday tweeted congratulations to donald trump saying that he was clearly the winner in that election says he stands by it and he doesn't believe the results are yet cooled biden. obviously the trump is out a few issues with a number of countries regarding trade as well with germany and nato spending but what did biden presidency mean for countries. well 1st of all as i mentioned the paris climate accord donald trump famously said he wasn't happy with that and he's taken the us out of that biden says his 1st day in office he will go back into that time into court and that makes people in europe very happy or european leaders who all want to work together on this on this issue of climate control is also suggestion that over the trade rules which have really dogged the relationship between europe and america for about a year now that

a biden presidency might be open to renegotiate some of the issues around that in fact the e.u. has been holding off over talor tree tariff measures in the hope that it might be able to renegotiate with the next administration those trade wars have seen huge tariffs put on e.u. products such as french wine and cheese but there was also a threat that i could be expanded through to german cars and there is things such as on a wider scale iran nuclear deal which european leaders desperately try to salvage and haven't been able to get trump and iran to see eye to eye on that there's a hope that that could now be renegotiated given that joe biden was the vice president when that accord was struck under president obama so many issues that the e.u. is hoping that they will be able to forge ahead with an improved transatlantic relationship and atlantic transatlantic relationship that they want to strengthen

to see themselves perhaps as a bloc that can be vying against the u.s. as well as working together with it but there is a huge issue here and the huge issue is the fact that whoever is the next president of the u.s. if that is biden if he's won or whether that's a trump presidency going into a 2nd term that president is going to have to deal with a huge amount of domestic issues and those domestic issues are going to take much of the focus of that president which means that european issues in the. things european leaders warrant will certainly not be top of the agenda while sawsan a america being such a key player has ramifications beyond as well so many as such to me that might be some changes if bites and takes over come january that was shot into ben's cave reporting from paris back to see you. while watching on t.v. international we'll have more on the selection just off the break stick with us.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we dear to.
