According to the latest figures, Democrat Joe Biden is taking the lead in counting votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania, bringing him closer to winning the election.

Meanwhile, incumbent President Donald Trump has launched a major attack from the White House on the entire democratic process, claiming that his elections are being "stolen".

Meanwhile, the US Labor said on Friday that unemployment in the country fell to 6.9% in October compared to 7.9% in September, with an expected decline to 7.7%.

The number of people employed in the US economy excluding the agricultural sector increased by 638,000 last month, while analysts expected an increase of 600,000.
