 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup with People's Dispatch where we bring you some of the top stories from across the globe. Let's take a look at today's headlines. Trump goes to court over counting in key states. Bolivian President Louis Arsé attacked with explosives. Police crackdown on farmers' protests leaves one dead in Pakistan. Israel raises village in occupied Palestine. As counting continues at a glacial pace with Biden seemingly set for victory, President Trump has raised doubts on the validity of the current counting process. The Trump campaign has already approached courts in the key states of Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, asking for the counting to be halted. However, Trump's lawsuits have already been dismissed in Michigan and Georgia. Polling companies are yet to call the election in these four states in favor of either of the candidates. According to reports, the campaign will be seeking a recount in the state of Wisconsin, which all polling companies have declared for Biden. The existing litigations, which include one for intervention in Pennsylvania in the Supreme Court, seek to challenge the existing rules on the counting of late postal ballots. Several states allow for postal ballots to be counted if they come in within three days after the election, provided the mail is dated November 3rd. The Trump campaign has also alleged lack of access for observers from their camp at multiple counting centers and want the counting to be halted unless better access is granted. But reports have suggested that the claims of observers being shut out from the counting centers are not true. As of November 6th, almost all polls have called 264 of the electoral college votes for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, while the Republican president Donald Trump could only secure 214. A candidate requires 270 of the total 538 votes to win the election. No polling company has called the election in the four states where Trump is raising a legal challenge. Right now, the leads in all four states are too close to allow any polling observer to call the results. Meanwhile, the results of Arizona also remain disputed. While Associated Press and Fox News have called the state for Biden, many networks, including the New York Times, have refrained from doing so. Dozens of pro-Trump demonstrators were arrested overnight. In different parts of the U.S., after attempts were made to sabotage the counting process. On Thursday night, the police in Philadelphia arrested two armed men, healing from Virginia, who are alleged to have planned an attack on the Philadelphia Convention Center, which is a major counting center in Pennsylvania right now. The increasingly disruptive nature of these protests were met with peaceful counter demonstrations from activists and progressive groups calling for all votes to be counted. Apart from the battleground states, marches were held on Thursday in cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Minneapolis, among others. These marches were led by organizations and activists associated with the nationwide Protect the Results campaign. Moving on to Bolivia on Thursday night, a stick of dynamite exploded outside the door of the MAS-IPSP campaign headquarters in an attack targeted against Bolivian President Luis Arce. It was reported that Arce was in the meeting at the campaign house when the explosive detonated and that it occurred when far-right groups marched by. Former Bolivian President Eva Morales condemned this attack. Following the overwhelming defeat of center-right candidate Carlos Misa and far-right Luis Fernando Camacho to the MAS-IPSP presidential ticket, far-right groups in the country have been launching allegations of electoral fraud and calling for strikes and protests against the results. However, the victory of Luis Arce has been widely recognized by politicians across the political spectrum, both within and outside Bolivia. De-facto President Jeanine Arness, who a year back unconstitutionally seized power following the coup, congratulated Arce on the victory in the early hours of October 19th, just hours after polls had closed. Ahead of the swearing-in of Luis Arce and David Chokovanka as President and Vice President of Bolivia, this Sunday, November 8th, actions by the far-right groups have intensified. Groups in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and La Paz have called for a 24-hour civic strike for Friday, November 6th, to demand an audit of the election results. Many fear the groups seek to generate situations of violent confrontation with MAS-IPSP supporters in the context of the swearing-in. The mobilizations have instilled fear in the population who still have fresh memories of the far-right mobilizations in November last year that led to the coup d'etat and unleashed a wave of racist violence against poor and indigenous Bolivians. However, social movements and trade unions have called on their bases to remain alert and not fall for the provocations. The Central Obrera Boliviana released a communique, wherein they called on organizations to protect the Central Plaza, where Sunday ceremony will take place. They vowed not to allow any attack or attempts to boycott or government destabilization. In Pakistan, one farmer has died in the police action that was called to halt hundreds of farmers sitting protest in Lahore's Thogarniaz Bay on November 4th. Dozens of injured demonstrators were rushed to the nearest hospital in Malt Road after police used water cannons and batons to disperse the assembled protesters. Dozens of injured demonstrators were rushed to the nearest hospital in Malt Road after police used water cannons and batons to disperse the assembled protesters, wherein Malik Ashfaq Langaryal from Vihari succumbed to his injuries. At least 200 more demonstrators were also detained by the state police. A huge number of farmers led by Chaudhary Anwar of Pakistan, Kisan Itihad are demanding that their wheat and sugar gain produce be given a fair price of 2000 Pakistan rupees and 300 Pakistan rupees per 40 kgs respectively. However, the Punjab government led by Osman Buzdan is offering them a rate of 1600 Pakistan rupees per 50 kgs for their produce. But farmers claim such a figure is very less in comparison to what other federal governments are offering to the farmers in their provinces. According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, the country's labour rights are in crisis. The use of force against a vulnerable farmer's community in Pakistan is not an isolated incident reported in the country. In 2016, Pakistan authorities invoked draconian laws and excessive forces to prevent farmers in Punjab province from protesting and highlighting the land rights. On April 16th, Mehar Abdul-Satar, who was then the secretary general of farmers group Anjuman A. Muzareen Punjab, was arrested under criminal offences when he, along with four other farmer leaders, tried to organise the meeting in Okara on the eve of international day of peasants and farmers struggle. Dozens of farmers were also arrested in the subsequent police action under various anti-terrorism and public auto provisions in Punjab's Okara in 2016. Meanwhile, on November 5th, the Punjab Minister for Law and Social Welfare, Raja Basharat, after meeting the members of the Kisan Board, Pakistan have assured positively for the approval of the farmers' demands in the coming days. This week is going to decide how far the current dispensation led by Prime Minister Imran Khan will take the farmer's plight into confidence before making any agriculture policy or dialogue process for the state of Punjab. On Thursday, the Israeli military demolished the entire Palestinian village of Kirbet Hamza in the northern Jordan valley in the occupied West Bank. It was reportedly one of the largest illegal demolitions carried out by the State of Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories in the last decade. The demolition has left close to 80 Palestinians from the Bidouin Herding farming community who inhabited the village displaced and homeless. 41 among them are children according to the United Nations. Human rights organizations and Palestinian leaders including Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Dr. Mohamed Shaddai have accused Israel of deliberately carrying out the massive demolition operation at a time when the entire international community is preoccupied with the U.S. presidential elections. Human rights organizations have accused Israel of using the lack of permits as an excuse to demolish Palestinian structures and confiscate Palestinian land, which is often used towards construction of new illegal settlements or expansion of existing ones. In this manner Israel has displaced hundreds of Palestinians over the years with the number steadily increasing. As per U.N. data, Israeli demolitions have been at their highest in 2020 despite the COVID-19 crisis and the U.S. Middle East peace plan under which Israel has committed to halt settlement building. The recent normalization deals between Israel and some Arab countries have also not affected Israel's demolition activity. Repeated appeals by the U.N., the European Union and others to Israel to see such activities which are detrimental to the prospects of long-term peace and a two-state solution have also been ignored.
