US Election: Biden closes in on 270

BBC World Service - Newshour, US Election: Biden closes in on 270

More results are expected from crucial US states that will determine the election

As the wait for a result drags into a fourth day, Joe Biden has a growing lead in Pennsylvania - the largest undecided state.

US TV networks are closely watching the margin of his lead and if it increases in the coming hours they may declare the former vice-president the winner. In Georgia Joe Biden has also increased his wafer-thin lead slightly, but state officials have already said there will be a recount. President Trump is also trailing in Arizona and Nevada.
Also on the programme: Ethiopia's prime minister has called for the leaders of the Tigray region to be put on trial for destabilising the country, after fighting broke out with government troops and Australian singer Kylie releases an album during lockdown.
