President Donald Trump denied a report that he will prematurely declare himself the winner of the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday night if it appears he is 'ahead' of Joe Biden, even if a ton of Electoral College votes are still unknown. 'No, no that was a false report,' he told reporters after he landed in North Carolina for his third rally of the day.  But he did warn he is ready to send in lawyers to states like Pennsylvania to dispute ballots. 'We're going in the night of - as soon as the election is over - we're going in with our lawyers,' he said. He and the Republican Party have been launching lawsuits in states extending the deadline to accept mail-in ballots. 'If people wanted to get their ballots in, they should have gotten their ballots in long before that,' he said. The president has repeatedly called for a result to be declared on election night.  'I don't think it's fair that we have to wait for a long period of ti

President Donald Trump’s packed rallies may have led to 700 COVID-19 related deaths and 30,000 additional coronavirus cases, according to a new report. Researchers with the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research looked at the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the weeks after Trump held 18 massive rallies between June 20 and September 22 – three of which were held indoors. Researchers compared the spread of the virus in the counties that held the rallies to counties that had similar coronavirus case trajectories before the rallies were held. They found that the rallies increased subsequent cases of COVID-19 by over 250 infections per 100,000 residents. Extrapolating that figure to the 18 rallies led researchers to conclude the events resulted in more than 30,000 COVID-19 cases.  'The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death,' the study published Friday on open access preprint platform SSRN said. However, the

Six people have now been arrested in connection with the knife attack at the Notre Dame Basilica in France which left three dead, police sources have said.   The men remained in custody on Sunday after being detained in Nice and the nearby town of Grasse. It comes as police investigate chief suspect Brahim Aoussaoui, a 21-year-old Tunisian who transited through Italy last month en route to France before launching his vicious attack on worshippers at the cathedral in Nice. Officers suspect local accomplices assisted Assouaoui to the church after he received orders to travel to France to carry out the attack - which was planned in advance,  the Journal  du Dimanche newspaper reports. The men in custody are between 25 and 63-years-old and were spotted on video surveillance or detained in homes searched by police as part of the investigation. Their connection to the attack remains unclear.     Police officers stand in the street during a mass at Notre Dame Basilica in France in honour of t

President Donald Trump  battled the weather at his second rally in his five-rally swing Sunday, this time fighting the bitter Iowa wind instead of Michigan's snow. 'I'm standing up and this is a hell of a lot of wind,' he told the cheering crowd on Sunday. 'It's lucky you have a president that doesn't need a teleprompter because these things are useless,' he added. And he got in a hit at rival Joe Biden, saying he wouldn't be able to speak under such circumstances.  'That wind, I don't know about you, but that wind is hitting me hard,' he said. And then he pointed to daughter Ivanka Trump, who was there watching the rally. 'My poor daughter is standing there freezing,' he said. It was 37 degrees in Dubuque. 'Sleepy Joe would be lost,' he said using the moniker he's given Biden. Both candidates use teleprompters in their speeches but Trump often goes off script while Biden does not. Trump also makes fun of Biden's m
