Twist In Trump's Legal Challenge

BBC World Service - Weekend, Twist In Trump's Legal Challenge

The US President loses a legal challenge to votes from Pennsylvania

The US President loses a legal challenge to votes from Pennsylvania.

President Trump's campaign team is pursuing a range of increasingly desperate challenges as it seeks to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential election. We hear about a court decision in Pennsylvania and complaints from election officials in Wisconsin.

Also on the programme, With thanksgiving holidays approaching in the US - there's a warning from the pandemic frontline; And why African Union envoys will not be allowed into the Tigray region of Ethiopia to broker peace.

To discuss all this and more we are joined by Georgina Godwin, a Zimbabwean broadcast journalist living here in the UK and by a former UK ambassador to Afghanistan, Dominic Jermey, who is now the Director-General of the Zoological Society of London, which runs London Zoo.
