This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Marissa Melton. A growing number of Republican lawmakers have joined US President Donald Trump's extraordinary effort to overturn the Presidential election, pledging to reject the results when Congress meets next week to count the electoral college votes and certify1 President-Elect Joe Biden's win. On Saturday, Republican Senator Ted2 Cruz of Texas announced a coalition3 of 11 senators who will vote against certain state electors unless Congress appoints an electoral commission to immediately conduct an audit4 of the election results. Earlier a GOP senator Josh Holley of Missouri said he would object to the vote tallies5. Both acknowledge that they are unlikely to change the results of the election, which state and federal officials say ran smoothly6. Mr. Biden is set to be inaugurated on January 20th.

这里是美国之音新闻。我是玛丽莎·梅尔顿，为您带来远程报道。越来越多的共和党议员联同美国总统特朗普一起不遗余力推翻总统选举，他们承诺在国会下周开会统计选举人团选票并证明当选总统拜登获胜时拒绝选举结果。周六，德克萨斯州的共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹宣布了一个由11名参议员组成的联盟，除非国会任命一个选举委员会立即对选举结果进行审计，否则他们将投票反对某些州的选举人票。早些时候，来自密苏里州的共和党参议员乔希·霍利说，他将反对计票。两人都承认他们不太可能改变选举结果，州和联邦官员说选举进行得很顺利。拜登先生定于1月20日就职。

Officials in India and in the United States have announced some progress toward expanded COVID-19 immunization campaigns. New Delhi staged nationwide drills on Saturday to launch one of the world's biggest Coronavirus vaccination7 programs. Meanwhile, the country's drug regulator approved two vaccines8, one developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford9 University, the other by Bharat biotech and the state-run Indian Council of medical research. India as the world's second most populous10 country, it has more than 10.3 million confirmed COVID-19 infections, and that's second only to the United States. In the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Saturday said the country had administered more than 4.2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide and had distributed more than 13 million doses. The US continues to lead the world with more than 20 million infections. That's about one fourth of the 84 and a half million COVID-19 cases recorded globally. VOA news.
