a very clear and viable path to victory in the state. he's treated thousands of uncounted votes discovered in georgia, counties where the much more important signature match takes place. the state will flip republican and very quickly get it done. tagging, brian kemp, the state's republican governor. well, trump campaign is pursuing battles in several states where there is a slim but clear biden majority. the former vice president is ahead by around 14000 votes in georgia in wisconsin. he leads spy around 20600 votes, but the trump campaign has paid more than $3000000.00 for a recount in 2 counties that in pennsylvania biden leads by $45000.00 votes. but trump's campaign says the republican controlled legislature should choose the winner and in arizona where biden is 10000 votes ahead. the local republican party is also going for delay to the official results of to

a sample of ballots is recounted. i want house correspondent can be how could, joins us live from washington d.c. . can they were expecting that news out of georgia regarding the election recount? can we expect? yeah, it, we should have been here by now. we were expecting it by midday local time. here in eastern standard time in the united states and that has come and gone. but what it is expected to confirm is that this hand count of ballots, which we should point out, was triggered by state law and not by the truck campaign, because it was such a close result between donald trump and joe biden. that this will confirm the lead of about 14000 votes. now, it is possible that that lead could be reduced even further because there has been some reporting that there were some uncounted votes that were discovered in georgia . but the general consensus has been that this still won't overturn the narrow lead that joe biden has over donald trump, that it may reduce it from 14212800. so still not enough to undo
10:04 pm
the result that has been projected, as donald trump has claimed. so we're watching for that very carefully in time is of the essence for the trump campaign. if it was to try and challenge these results because once released, if it is very close, they could and do you have the opportunity to request one more recount unclear if they're going to do that or not. but the votes are to be certified in that state. the u.s. state of georgia on friday, so it's a very tight timeline for any sort of recourse should the trump campaign choose to do so. and in the meantime, the republican news conference did happen with rudy giuliani at the helm. what's he been saying about trump's path to victory? yeah, well donald trump did on social media say that this would show the clear path to victory that this would overturn the projected result that has joe biden, that currently as president elect. and there were a lot of new revelations in the press conference. what was alleges,
10:05 pm
much as what we've heard in the past with respect to people who are dead that are voting, that there has been a coordinated effort in number of democrat controlled cities to make sure that joe biden received more votes than donald trump. they say this happened through algorithms in a number of states using dominion voting machines. they allege they also allege the campaign that is, that this was done using outside money for an intervention in a cordon, a did attack. take a listen. what we're really dealing with here in uncovering more of the day is the massive influence of communist money, venezuela, cuba, and likely china, and the interference with our elections here in the united states. the dominion voting systems, the smartmatic technology software,
10:06 pm
and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well. not just a minion were created in films invented by a law at the direction of hugo chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out. we have one very strong witness who has explained how it all works. and we should remind our viewers that hugo chavez did die in 2013, so it's unclear what the connection is there. if this was past work that is still having repercussions that is unclear. so much of these allegations are unclear, including the evidence which the campaign says will be unveiled in another court challenge in georgia. they are also calling on the department of justice to investigate further. we can tell you is up to this point, many of the truck campaigns lawsuits have not stood up in court. and in some cases they have even been withdrawn by the campaign itself. committee,

10:09 pm
secretary of state to make such a visit itself a very controversial and surprise. at the same time, the u.s. state department said it would now mandate all products coming from settlements in the occupied west bank into the u.s. market, simply as made in israel or products of israel. so in a way that's yet more controversial, because it essentially says that the u.s. views these areas as integrity to israel, whether there's been actual annexation or not more americans are currently in hospital with corona virus than at any time in the pandemic. so far, 79000 people are currently admitted as infection rates climb, there's been an alarming rise in new york where people have been joining hours long queues to be tested, had effects giving next week. schools have now been shot in new york city in

$79000.00 people are currently being treated us the centers for disease control has advised against travel. over the thanksgiving holiday, a standoff between ugandan police and opposition protesters has intensified with at least 16 people now known to have died and hundreds arrested. security forces shot rubber bullets at supporters of pop star turned politician bobby wine, while crowds set up roadblocks and lit fires. and large demonstrations began when police arrested the presidential candidate on wednesday, accusing him of breaking coronavirus rules. all the police are doing is just to touch the news poppy, while you're supposed to be campaigning in the villages, but he's in jail again. they are just wasting his time. welcome. we're busy in nairobi in neighboring kenya and says they'll thirty's. do you still have options to easy on rest spokesman says he's in a high security police facility,

10:20 pm
politicians in an attempt to quell the unrest try to just take those people home maybe late in the night, so that people don't continue protesting on the streets. but they certainly face between a couple of tough options. now there's nearly 2 months to go before this election. and if they allow these rallies to continue, that says well local calling to the government will be problematic for covert 19, although his supporters believe these restrictions are simply to stop people seeing how popular a year the fight for ethiopia's northern region is moving ever closer to the area's capital, the prime minister says his forces, a closing in on mccully and local rebel forces said number of students were injured when a government air strike hit the city's university or the european government has not responded to this specific claims. it has previously denied targeting civilians . we have a doctor who is in ethiopia's capital, addis ababa. he says, the government is still working out how badly people have been affected by the fighting. i don't think,
10:21 pm
given the government knows the true extent of the humanitarian situation on the ground. that's why they said today that they are sending a task force to look into the gravity of the situation on the ground. even before the war started, there were hundreds of thousands of people who depended on food aid in to grow. we didn't. they had to be fed by the charities. the charities have been unable to replenish their talk of relief, food in the past 2 weeks. vehicles laden with relief and food supplies. us talk at the border that you created in the house with them how to region. we've been informed of long queues for bread, not just mckenna, but all the other towns in the region that there are also of the thousands upon thousands of refugees from the trail who live within the region and the humanitarian sources. tell us that this is, this has gotten worse, the puter,

the fighting has been going on and it's only bound to get worse. and then that hole of people to the ton. i don't know how they're going to cut it out, but these people fresh out of their homes. they've seen the amount of, you know, impunity and a tux got to because the neighbors, the musts, a kind of people, particularly in small towns like my country where hundreds of people were beheaded with knives and machetes. so it's highly unlikely that those people of the trucking all the way to saddam would be able to return soon as the government is putting it in australian military has found what it's called credible evidence of multiple war crimes by its soldiers in afghanistan, including the unlawful killing of $39.00 prisoners and civilians. a long way to inquiry says there was a culture of secrecy, deceit, and cover up in the special forces. it's like aig has more from australia's capital can breath nearly 2 decades after the 1st destroy in troops were deployed to

10:26 pm
officials are anxious to approve the 7 year budget, which includes $887000000000.00 in support for its economies to recover from a pandemic. that's fit into about her who's in paris, so it is here trying to resolve this crisis over their budget and coping recovery fund and it's being held up by poland and hungary. what we're going to tell us about why yeah, that's right. e.u. leaders have been hoping to finalize this budget really and get it ready to be up and running its the budget for the next 7 years, including this huge coronavirus, a recovery fund more than 8 $100000000000.00, but it is being held up by poland and hungary who have vetoed it at the last minute . now the reason these 2 countries have done this is they say they do not like the fact that within this budget, there is a plan for a mechanism which would allow the e.u. to withdraw any future funds from any member state. if those member states were
10:27 pm
deemed to violated the so-called rule of law. now what the rule of law is basically the use values and democratic principles. and over the past few years, the right wing governments in both opponents and hungry have been repeatedly criticized by the e.u. who said the, those countries, governments are, are violating the rule of law. they're violating things like freedom of the press. freedom of the judiciary women's rights, and therefore poland and hungary are worried, of course, that they're going to have funds withheld from them. they say this is simply unfair because they use acting against other member states because of political and ideological differences. so they want that mechanism with or the problem is it is holding up this huge coronavirus budget, which is absolutely essential right now as many countries in europe battle this 2nd wave we've heard from the top ph. so saying there's a covert death in europe. every 17 seconds an extremely urgent situation,
10:28 pm
the money is needed to try and help the economies that have been battered. boners, not hungry, are also set to benefit greatly from those funds. but as far as we understand, there is no resolution to this dispute, and we heard from the elise a actually you gave a briefing going into this meeting saying that they don't expect there to be any reason resolution in this particular summit. and another thorny issue on their plate that how is that going? yes, briggs's, of course, are on the agenda for you leaders because the december 31st deadline is looming., that is the end of the transition period. when the u.k., the, you'd hope to have a deal. well, there is no deal yet on the table or anything for the e.u. leaders to be looking at. and what we know now is in the past few hours, in fact the u.k. and euna go sheet is have actually had to suspend their talks because of a covert case in the e.u. use negotiating team. so that's going to delay proceedings even more. there are
10:29 pm
still differences between the 2 sides over fishing rights access to u.k. waters, the so-called level playing field, which is about fair competition and also governance. how do you actually in force, the rules of any future trade deal? so still differences over those which need to be ironed out. we understand that the negotiating teams had hoped to have some form of deal perhaps next week. but with this new delay, it's unclear whether or not that will happen either way from the e.u.'s point of view, time really is running out in more ways than one pea cause they need to have a deal well in advance of that december 31st deadline because needs to be translated into 27 languages, the languages of the member states needs to be pored over for any legal issues and ratified by the e.u. parliament. and as i said, the deadline keeps moving into her butler. thank you very much. the spanish government has opened a 2nd holding facility for refugees and migrants on the canary islands. after the 1st camp there was overwhelmed. the canary islands are part of spain,
