Only a day left for US presidential election. Then on November 3 Presidential election in the United States will be held. Corona's 'Super Spreader' got the mixed title on Trump's forehead at the end of the vote! Trump's campaign ended in scandal.

Although the allegation was primarily political, it was later substantiated by scientific research. Trump is probably the only president in the world to have found a place in the fence of accusations based on research from a reputed university. Nixon, another Republican candidate, lost the US presidential election nearly 50 years ago in the face of such a scandal.

Nixon was charged with the 'Water Gate Scandal'. And in the case of Trump, the notoriety of the 'Corona scandal', in which 30,000 people have been infected with Corona and more than seven hundred Americans have died due to election rallies. An impartial survey conducted by researchers at the renowned Stanford University in the United States has raised such a serious allegation against Trump.

Researchers claim that wherever Trump has held public rallies, ordinary people have had to pay the price. The study, by researchers at Stanford University, is titled "The Effects of Large Group Meetings on the Spread of Covid-19: The Case of Trump Rallies."

An example is the campaign meeting of US President Donald Trump in the state of Florida. Controversy has also been created. Health experts have also expressed concern over the mass flow at the meeting, pointing the finger at the distance rule.

But the situation is such that the second wave of corona has come in the whole of Europe and America. The number of daily infections is increasing. The election is taking place in the United States and the doctors fear an infectious tsunami after seeing the uncontrolled and lawless crowd at Trump's election meeting. And he calls Trump a 'corona super spreader'.

However, Trump is claiming success in tackling the Corona pandemic at every meeting. Telling everyone, no worries if infected, everyone will be recovered as he has recovered. Although large gatherings were not permitted everywhere, Trump continued to hold large public gatherings. Health experts are breaking the rules by ignoring the ban. Many people do not see the scourge of face masks and physical distance. That's why researchers have even blamed Trump.

According to the latest health bulletin, the number of cases of corona in the United States is at least 90 lakh. About 230,000 people have died. But President Trump did not take the Corona virus seriously. He alleges his opponents were using the issue against him. He warned that if Biden is elected president, the United States will be locked down again. But the United States does not have the capacity to withstand another lockdown.

Trump's rival, Democrat candidate Joe Biden, has also ridiculed Trump's meetings as "super-spreaders," according to a later study. However, he himself has done less public meetings, more emphasis on virtual meetings and drive-in programs where people were showing their support by driving on the road and blowing horns.

Meanwhile, in the run-up to the state-wide election campaign, Biden is far ahead of Trump. Biden is also battling Trump in states that support Republicans. Biden is ahead by a very small margin somewhere.

Trump has expressed frustration with Biden's proximity to opinion polls because, he considers Biden as a very weak opponent. Trump said, ‘Will this happen to me? How can we both have a tie? '

Even in the latest national polls, Joe Biden is well ahead of Trump. But they are in close proximity to the swing states. However, various analysts said that if Trump wants to win again, he will have to win in states Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa and Arizona like 2016. He has to win at least in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin. Some Republicans are optimistic that he will win. But there are fears that the 9 crore people who voted in advance may have ruled against Trump.

Even then, US President Donald Trump is hoping for a surprise victory. He was engaged in a two-day campaign on Sunday (November 1) in a dramatic election. He has been ploughing in the battleground states. Apparently, his chances of being re-elected seem to be narrowing down in almost all polls, but he wants to return to the White House to 'scrap' all accounts. If he wins, he will occupy the White House for another four years. Otherwise, he will be the first president since the time of George HW Bush to fail in his second term.

According to media reports, Trump is taking part in 10 rallies on Sunday and Monday, the last day of the election campaign. He is taking part in five rallies a day. Election will be held next Tuesday. He is trying to influence the supporters as much as possible to get them out of the house that day. He is scheduled to hold rallies in Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida on Sunday. Campaigns are scheduled for Monday in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. His campaign at the Grand Rapids in Michigan was due to end late Monday night. This is where he campaigned in 2016. Four years ago, he won the state of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in an unlikely victory. These three states have been Democrat bases for decades.

Rival Biden is not sitting at all. He is fighting to the death in the last minute campaign. Democrat candidate Joe Biden is busy with the final campaign, making Trump's failure to deal with the corona virus a key issue in the election. He also spent time campaigning on Sunday (November 1). He was in Pennsylvania. It is one such important state, playing a decisive role in the presidential election.

And only a day later it will be decided who will sit in the White House throne. Biden will be the new president or Trump will hold the seat. Though Biden's polls and opinion polls will not help, fears are running high. During the 2016 election campaign, Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in the campaign and polls. No one can give surety before the results are released.

A video shows a mother and daughter walking through Tehran's busiest square in the capital. At that time, they were surrounded by five female and two male members of the police. When they tried to evade arrest, they were violently beaten and taken into a car.

Dina Ghalibaf, a female student at Tehran's Shahid Beheshti University, wrote on the micro-blogging site X that she was barred from boarding the metro. When she insisted, she was taken to a room. She claimed that she was beaten and sexually harassed there.

The student was arrested a day after making such a post and taken to Evin prison.

British newspaper The Guardian spoke to some of those arrested. One of them told the media that eight members of the police surrounded her last Saturday. At that time, she was called "prostitute", "naked American prostitute" and insulted her. Apart from this, the young woman claimed that men also touched her during the arrest.

Boeing lost a huge amount of money due to the opening of the doors of the Boeing aircraft of Alaska Airlines in mid-air. US aircraft manufacturer Boeing reported a loss of US dollar 343 million in the first quarter of this year (January-March).

An unused door on an Alaska Airlines Boeing Max 9 collapsed moments after takeoff from Portland, Oregon last January. Although the Alaska Airlines plane was able to land safely in this incident, questions about Boeing's safety have been raised around the world.

As a result, Boeing reduced the production of the aircraft according to their target. As a result, Boeing is forced to pay huge losses in the first quarter of this year.

After the Alaska Airlines incident, the United States Aviation Agency ordered the grounding of 171 Boeing Max 737 aircraft. In the wake of the incident, Boeing's chief immediately admitted the mistake and promised to fix the problem with 100% transparency. But even this did not save the end. Boeing's CEO was eventually forced to resign.

In order not to cut the heat of this incident, a former Boeing engineer recently talked about the manufacturing defects of the Dreamliner 787. He recommended grounding all Dreamliner aircraft worldwide. In this incident, the safety of Boeing was questioned again.
