wa nt to american flag last night and said, i want to be counting to stop and i'm going to use the supreme courtel at that moment?” going to use the supreme court? how did you feel at that moment? ijust felt sickened. but 0k, one thing thatis felt sickened. but 0k, one thing that is hopeful about that is that it is so bold and abuse of power, may be the supreme court will push back. maybe they will be embarrassed that the president wants that. eliza griswold, thank you very much. eliza griswold, thank you very much. eliza griswold writes for the new yorker magazine, which is where you can read her work. let's speak to the bbc‘s north america editor, jon sopel bbc‘s north america editor, jon sopel, who is live with us from washington. i think we just spoke just under 24 hours ago is the story started to unfold. i wonder what reflections you have and what has happened since then? beyond wanting to go to sleep for about 12 hours? yes, that's right! my reflections, and you too, probably, but my reflections a re and you too, probably, but my reflections are that it has sort of been a wild ride hasn't

[laughter] he had confirmed 9820 to the us supreme court and i'm on the junior varsity court 5241. he was a couple of where to get any credit and is so fascinating because justice ginsburg 96 / three roughly so things have changed. but i would say where justice scalia would say as an excerpt in the book with the 92 abortion case. most of it has nothing to do with abortion most of that says if we are going to embrace the idea that five members of a life tenured court can decide what rights that are not mentioned in the constitution ought to have constitutional protection, we're asking for it when it comes to politicizing the court. this is the crown jewel of american and government brown versus board of education come all those american on - - major milestones and we will need the court for political neutral court. that was the warning shot, the canary in the coal mine. look at the last presidents election there are too many accounts to deny treating a vote for the president of the united states is a proxy to fill one seat on the nine-member court but in 1770 sexual not find anybody

and the notion that the president is already talking about supreme court challenges, give usa about supreme court challenges, give uses right now? as you can imagine, it goes along party lines, doesn't it? donald trump has been such a divisive president either way. he splits opinion straight down the line. those who absolutely adore him continue to adore him. nothing but a fulsome victory would be true or real. on the other side, the biden supporters are horrified, i would say, at the idea that it has led to this. they were hopeful of a strong victory, not just led to this. they were hopeful of a strong victory, notjust in the presidential race but in the senate and the house. they haven't managed to achieve that in the senate. so talk of a legal challenge was always going to be a very likely part of the outcome of this. a difficult election period. all of that happening, of course, lest we forget, on the background of the coronavirus pandemic. 230,000 american lives have been lost during this time. so a really difficult time here. it's not worth exaggerating, over exaggerating rather, it's difficult to over exagger

we will be going to the us supreme court. we wa nt going to the us supreme court. we want all voting to stop. we don't wa nt want all voting to stop. we don't want them to find any ballots at four o'clock in the morning. 0k? his arrival, the democratic candidate joe biden, told his supporters to keep the faith and said he is still on course for victory with predictions the democrats could win at arizona, a once reliable conservative seat. we will have to be patient until the hard work of counting the votes is finished and it ain't over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted. the counting continues with the president outperforming pollsters' predictions. it is a tight race to the white house with results in key battle ground states still to come. it may take hours or even days for the final result to be known. at the touch screen and keeping track of the votes is reeta chakrabarti. with the votes is reeta chakrabarti. with the presidential race absolutely neck and neck i will be plotting what each man has to do and which states they have to carry in or

mr biden was speaking as the us supreme court began hearing a case which could overturn 0bamacare.presideint 0bama's affordable care act. a vatican report has found that two popes ignored allegations of serial sex abuse by a now disgraced former us cardinal theodore mccarrick. the report found that popes benedict and john paul ii chose to believe the cardinal's denials.

that could create some problems that would have to be resolved by the pennsylvania supreme court hopefully not by the usral couegein donald trump did win the electoral college in 2016. despite losing the popular vote. and he was the valid president of the united states. and now the question is who's going to be elected president of the united states? pursuant to our constitution and the electoral college and after everything will vote is counted. what it means to be an american is you accept our constitution and the results of our elections after every vote is counted. that's very interesting indeed. thank you very much forjoining us. a quick reminder of some the latest news coming to us, we are expecting joe biden the democratic challenger who has a narrow lead in the ways for the white house, to be giving a press co nfe re nce the white house, to be giving a press conference or a statement sometime soon, and we will bring that to you. but to remind you we are still waiting for several key states to declare. millions of us still uncounted, president trump has, without evidence, spoken of surprise ballo

supreme court, yet. no one has called this election, yet. no one, that is, apart from the president himself. so we will be going to the usrtisan rivalries of 20 years ago were no less bitter than they are today, but what is different is the tone. no matter what the outcome, america will make the transition to a new administration with dignity, with full respect for the freely expressed will of the people, and with pride in the democracy we are privileged to share. some still believe that bush got fewer votes than al gore 20 years ago, but when the supreme court ruled that was it, its legitimacy was not questioned. this election continues to test america‘s faith in its institutions, by whatever means an eventual win is secured. just a quick reminder of the main story in case you needed it, live pictures coming in from boston, massachusetts where there is a count every voter protest, the contest still on a knife edge, no clear winner as the vote counting goes on, the trunk campaign has launched legal action to stop vote counting in michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin, and it was a complete recount of votes there as well.

we will be going to the us supreme court. we want all voting to stop. we don't want them to find any ballots at four o'clock in the morning and add them to the list. joe biden's team has called effo rts list. joe biden's team has called efforts to stop the count and millions of the shipment votes outrageous. we're going to have to be patient until we, until the hard work of telling the votes is finished. and it isn't over until every vote is counted. every ballot is counted. welcome has an election ever been more followed around the world? going to all of you wherever you are watching and the count in america goes on. the weight goes on. we knew it would, it's all a standard part of the electoral process that does not lessen the drama. maine is the only state to have been projected in the last few hours with three of its four electoral college votes projected to go tojoe biden. that means in the electoral college at the moment we are expecting joe biden to be projected to have 2027, donald trump 213. to become president and eat 270. the us election proj

we'll be going to the us supreme court, we want all voting to stop. four o'clock in the morning and add them to the list. joe biden's team has called efforts to stop the count of millions of legitimate votes, ‘outrageous'. we are going to have to be patient until we come of the hard work

the us supreme court permits it. so consequently you have 2 detectives making it seem as if we have independent evidence. they sometimes get very specific about what that evidence is. tell yes, the you are involved in something. they've already started that strafing process and the mother already is believing it all during the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombed to neighboring laos. it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know until our thelma is officially the mouth, cavalry band, country per capita, all human history. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn. we don't know how it's happening there. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy and help to the people need in that little land of mines. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. let it be an arms race theory. dramatic development only exists. i don't see it will be successful. very cr

his comments came as the us supreme court began hearing arguments — brought by states governed by republicansturn the legislation. the president elect accused "far—right ideologues" of trying for a third time to strip health care coverage from millions of americans during a pandemic. obamacare's a law that every american should be proud of. it's why people with pre—existing conditions are protected in this country. it's a law that delivered vital coverage, as i said before, for 20 million americans who did not have coverage. it's a law that reduced prescription drug price costs for nearly 12 million seniors. it's a law that saved lives and spared countless families from financial ruin. so this effort to bypass the will of the american people, the verdict of the courts in the past, the judgements of congress, in my view, is simply cruel and needlessly divisive. we've also heard from the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, on what he thinks about the current standoff between the trump and biden campaigns. he was asked if a delay from the state department to engage with the biden transition team

and then sold the us supreme court, it will not be sold friends with say the new administration, but said he. busy would like to have one close relationship with with, by then, and they will try to dissolve some trade, the issues that have during this cd that time. but being station side believes that said will be more closer relationship between europe and united states and to political establishment of europe. didn't like actually trying to who was more against the political establishment itself. so that when they got to substandard in europe is more. busy to leave because the political establishment in the united states has gone back and to follow that as maria from a member of the european parliament. thank you for your time now, the assassin threw out of a delay. the vote count spoke to week a theory from both sides supportive. 3 thank you, protest it's clashed with police in the wake of a particularly bitter election battle. however, it seems the political stances of the 2 candidates may not actually be that far apart. we asked people on the streets of new york tonight, the mai

and justices in the us supreme court have just signalled they are not minded to strike it down, althoughn—led states. mr trump‘s administration, which has long promised to remove and replace the act, joined the court action. in two hours of legal argument, the judges seemed sceptical about the republican argument that the entire law must fall if a single key provision, the so—called individual mandate, is ruled unconstitutional. abbe gluck is a left—leaning professor of health law at yale university. she explains what‘s at stake. first of all, the stakes cannot be overstated. the affordable care act has transformed a fifth of our economy, the entire american health care system and brought new benefits to more than 100 million americans, including 20 million who would lose their health care if the whole law is struck down. the entire sector would be abandoned. the challengers here, including the trump administration, are trying to wipe the entire law off the books. they‘re arguing that provision you mentioned, the mandate, is unconstitutional because the republican—led congress after 70 a

supreme court, yet. no—one has called the selection yet. no—one, that is, apart from the president himself. so we will be going to the usthem to find any ballots at four o'clock in the morning and add them to the list, 0k? the partisan rivalries in 20 years ago were no less better than they are today, but what is different is the tone. no matter what the outcome, america will make the transition to a new administration with dignity, with all respect for the freely expressed will of the people, and with pride in the democracy we are privileged to share. some still believe that bush got fewer votes in al gore 20 yea rs got fewer votes in al gore 20 years ago, but when the supreme court ruled that was it, its legitimacy was not questioned. the selection continues to test america's faith in its institutions, by whatever means an eventual win is secured. let's remind you of our top story in case you needed, still no definitive result in the tightest american election in a generation. joe biden has secured more votes than any other person who has ever run for president but has still not reach that magic threshold of 270 in th

the us supreme court has temporarily barred the state of new york from imposing limits on places of worship governor andrew cuomo, restricted attendance to as few as 10 worshippers in areas that as ignited as coronavirus hotspots. the court ruling said that was discrimination against religious institutions. new conservative justice amy colonel barrett tipped the scales for a majority in the court. before her appointment the court had had upheld restrictions, affecting churches in california and nevada. and fallon fisher has more now from the white house. people are saying this is a victory for the groups that suggested that some of the coronavirus restrictions were position on their religious freedom. that's what they argued under the 1st amendment. most people immediately think that's the freedom of speech, but it also. 'd includes the freedom of religion as well. and so the roman catholic diocese, but also orthodox jewish organizations, took new york state to court to say this is not the sort of thing you should be doing. the court, in a surprise, 54 decision decided that's exactly right.

republicans are hoping the us supreme court will take the case and team the 3-day extension unconstitutional. even if the supreme court did throw out all those votes there are not enough to change the outcome. the state department says there are approximately 10,000 late mail ballots, biden is currently leading in pennsylvania by 47,000 votes with tens of thousands of mail-in ballots left to count. the trump campaign also filed a federal lawsuit claiming the mail-in voting system is unconstitutional because it created a less transparent and verifiable method of voting for and same day voting, the suit asks for 600,000 plus ballots to be thrown out because it claims republican observers did not get a chance to see them. none of these lawsuits in pennsylvania have contained any significant evidence to support the claims of systemic widespread voter fraud. last week u.s. postal service worker in erie, pennsylvania signed a sworn affidavit claiming he witnessed his supervisor talking about fascinating mail-in ballots. today the house oversight committee says that postal worker recanted those all

there is clearly a possibility it has to be said a slim possibility the supreme court of the us will e court of the us will take up one of these cases but there is no guarantee as they are not underany there is no guarantee as they are not under any obligation to ta ke are not under any obligation to take up any of these cases. and they had been going against president trump insistently and this is, with all the lawsuits with a lack of evidence. and we hear interviews like the one that was broadcast early that we have just been talking about where he claims there is massive voter fraud but again he is not coming up with the ha rd he is not coming up with the hard evidence and more crucially his lawyers was to get inside court rooms are not presenting judges with that we have just been talking about where he claims there is massive voter fraud but again he is not coming up with the ha rd he is not coming up with the hard evidence and more crucially his lawyers was to get inside courtrooms are not presenting judges without hard evidence. 0k, peter, thank you very much for that. the brit

supreme court, yet. no one has called this election, yet. no one, that is, apart from the president himself. so we will be going to the usn the morning and add them to the list, 0k? the partisan rivalries of 20 years ago were no less bitter than they are today, but what is different is the tone. no matter what the outcome, america will make the transition to a new administration with dignity, with full respect for the freely expressed will of the people, and with pride in the democracy we are privileged to share. some still believe that bush got fewer votes than al gore 20 years ago, but when the supreme court ruled, that was it, its legitimacy was not questioned. this election continues to test america's faith in its institutions, by whatever means an eventual win is secured. gabriel gatehouse reporting there. stay with us. i will have the business stories and the impact that the outcome of the impact that the outcome of the election will have on the business world. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @samanthatvnews. backin back ina back in a moment. hello there. it's pretty cold out there at the moment across more southe

the us supreme court has temporarily barred the state of new york from imposing limits on places of worship. governor andrew cuomo, restricted attendance to as few as 10 worshippers in areas designed this coronavirus hot spots. a court ruling said that that was a discrimination against religious institutions. new conservative justice, a macone, barrett tipped, the scales for a majority in the court. before her appointment, the court had a peled restrictions affecting churches in california, and nevada. alan fisher has more now from the white house. if people are saying this is a victory for the groups that suggested that some of the coronavirus restrictions were position on their religious freedom, that's what they argued under the 1st amendment. most people immediately think that's the freedom of speech, but it also. 'd includes the freedom of religion as well. and so the roman catholic diocese, but also orthodox jewish organizations, took new york state to court to say this is not the sort of thing you should be doing. the court, in a surprise, 54 decision decided that's exactly right. an

reasserting the need to support the affordable care act otherwise known as obama care which the us supreme courta lot of interesting things i've beenjotting them down for studies of the fact that are subject to concede defeat is an investment won't help the president's legacy. when asked about do you think you can still work with republicans he said simply i think we can get a lot done. on the issue of the transition he says the fact that donald trump has not conceded defeat its command and i quote, not of much consequence. he said they can't stop us and he said they are busy working on that transition. it's up to the fact that lots of senior republicans have to offer their congratulations were conceded that donald trump has lost he said the electoral college will make its judgement, and river the electoral couege judgement, and river the electoral college systems were each state has a number of electoral college votes and they represent to by people who formally select a president. a low— key formally select a president. a low—keyjoe biden not seeking to inflame a tense situation i think it's f

earlier this year we took steps overnight invite that there was struck down by bye wisconsin supreme court using the tools supported by science and public health experts. unfortunately,, since then wisconsin has become a national hotspot. rivalrges in our state what we saw in new york city this past spring. our case numbers continue to climb. more last friday, we added than 25,000 new cases. it took us 7.5 months to get through 100,000 cases, but only took 36 days to add another 100,000. we have now surpassed deaths. the number of lives we projected we would have saved months ago if we would have been able to keep safer at home and reopen safely. 2395 wisconsinites. grandparents,rs, friends and coworkers have lost their lives. i offer my condolences to those who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. unfortunately, they will not be the last. the institute for health metrics and evaluation estimates 5000 wisconsinites could be lost to covid-19 by january 1 if no further actions are taken. peopleans another 2500 who might not be with us on new year's day. wisconsin, this is serious. the crisis

he, has been a long time aide to joe biden, knew him back in the 1980 s., use it supreme court clerk for justice, byron white. so he's a guy that biden has known for a long time in this suggest that biden is going a completely different route than donald trump. donald trump has had a series of relatively weak chiefs of staff, and they are people who inevitably end up with his strained relationship with the president and little power in part because the president's son in law, jared cushion or has his own direct route to the president and the gate keeper doesn't stop that from happening, but biden says, of it. clane has been invaluable to him in the past and he'll be as point man in taking on coronavirus as soon as biden takes office. some news, just in, in several peacekeepers are reported dead after a helicopter crash in egypt. the black caucus aircraft went down over the sinai peninsula. it belong to the multinational force in observers that monitors a 40 year old peace agreement between egypt and israel. several people including, americans, a french and czech national, were report

is to use the supreme court he's already said his lawyers are ready to go and his plan c. is to create as much havoc as he can and to call his defacto militias into the streets across this country do you expect to any. post election day legal action from either the 2 candidates and harken back to the 2000 election where we see any recount. yes sure seems like the supreme court is already involved in nevada in pennsylvania. of course now with 6 republican justices injustices versus the 3 democratic justices are injustices. things things could go terribly bad if for the democrats if they didn't 2000 in in florida in trump is counting on that they're already shining contest votes in texas the governor of texas is done everything to make sure there's not enough ballot boxes in the lead up still it was really heroic that $100000000.00 people 3 fourths of the total vote in 2016 already participated so that in difference that we felt in 2016 when over 100000000 people didn't participate you had trouble 65 you had hillary clinton 64000000 votes trumping the range of. just over 600

unfortunately, the united states supreme court took us backwards despite congressional intent and despite a record that justifies the reauthorization of the voting acts right of 1965. the u.s. supreme court decided to, in a fit of judicial the votingviscerate , and leave it to congress again to come up with a solution. there is still disenfranchisement taking place by white people depriving black people of their rights to vote across the country in numerous ways, so we need the voting rights act to be restored to protect that right to vote, because we are not out of the woods yet in terms of people wanting to suppress our votes. you can see donald in his operation, which still has not enabled to admit that he lost the election. it is in various places across the country trying to suppress the counting of votes in , and youmerican areas can see that tactic being used right now as we speak, and it is something that needs to end. these two senators that we elect here in georgia will stand for that. tot's why this nation needs cleanse the soul of its past unrighteousness, its past and justice

supreme court if it got to that level? i think so. number one, it might not get to that level, the usot have to take all of its cases and traditionally it has turned to 90 to 95% of the cases which act for cert, which is asking for the supreme cert, which is asking for the supreme court to hear the case. joe biden is going about his business in the way one would expect the president—elect to do, but with donald trump yet to concede and legal challenges continuing, how is that effecting the transition compared to what would be happening in more usual circumstances? there is nothing in the constitution that requires the loser to concede, but i think it would be much betterfor the country as trump conceded and it would be much smootherfor the transition of trump conceded. would be much smootherfor the transition of trump concededm means that the biden harris team are not getting access to certain federalfunding not getting access to certain federal funding and intelligence information that they would be expecting to see right now?m information that they would be expecting to see right no
