ForeignUPDATED:) Trump at 243 electoral votes, Harris at 194 — US media

 Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former president Donald Trump are battling it out for the White House, with polls nearly all closed across the United States early Wednesday — but results still coming in. US media have thus far projected that Trump has won in 24 states, including big prizes Texas and Ohio, key battlegrounds Georgia and North Carolina and other reliably Republican-leaning states. Harris has so far captured 15 states including big electoral vote prizes California and New York — as well as the US capital Washington. So far, that gives Trump 243 electoral votes and Harris 194.

BREAKING: Equatorial Guinea restricts WhatsApp amid sex scandal

  The Government of Equatorial Guinea has restricted its citizens from downloading and sharing multimedia files using mobile data on WhatsApp. This decision was followed by the guidelines that the country’s government gave to telecommunications operators when it urged them to implement measures to restrict access to inappropriate content.

Image
 United States President Joe Biden will address the nation on Thursday, committing to a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump after his political rival secured a decisive victory over Kamala Harris in the recent election. In what is expected to be a solemn moment for Biden, he will speak from the White House Rose Garden at 11 am (1600 GMT) to “discuss the election results and the transition” to Trump’s second term. The 81-year-old withdrew from the race against Trump in July 2024, passing the Democratic nomination to Vice President Kamala Harris — only to see his legacy likely threatened by the Republican’s surprising comeback. Biden is, however, determined to present a stark contrast to Trump, whose refusal to accept his own 2020 election defeat by Biden culminated in the violent assault on the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021. Trump, falsely claiming voter fraud, also declined to attend Biden’s inauguration and blocked a standard transition process. The Whit...
