midterm elections we should being seen as a port tested president on trumps will all trump and his predecessor barack obama have been busy on the campaign trail rallying voters speaking in miami florida keys swing state obama said the future of the country has a stake. at a crossroads. the health care of millions is all about. making sure the working families get a fair shake is all about. but maybe most of all the character of our country is on the ballot. in the casing weeks of this election we're seeing repeated attempts to divide us. with rhetoric. designed to make us angry and make us fearful well let's speak to mike hanna who is in washington d.c. for us hi there mike so obama's on the campaign trail how much impact of the

democrats having right now. well president obama's a very important factor in the democratic campaign he's been going to a number of states particularly those swing states as you mentioned like florida and he is the democrats' best bet at these type of public rallies he's supported as well by former vice president joe biden who's also been a regular speaker but the democrats hamstrung by the absence of previous presidential contender hillary clinton who hasn't been on the campaign trail at all so it certainly is a obama factor that goes on here he does galvanize crowds to an extent like no other democrat leader does but the problem is in these elections is that it's the unknown there are a large number of independents who people hope will vote probably amounting to about one third of the electorate are self declared independence now which way they go and most importantly if indeed they vote the democrats will be hoping to get

their vote and that could take the democrats to the twenty two seats that they need to seize control of the house of representatives which is their number one target and might donald trump also on the road of course and what are the main campaign themes that he's focusing on. well president trump has been absolutely nonstop over recent weeks sometimes speaking to two or three rallies that day very carefully choreographed rallies in places that can take the exact amount of people who are there so it's always shown to be completely full venues but president trumps campaign speeches and deviated he hits immigration immigration as a massive threat to america he's bob he has that double down on this by what his opponents call our political stunts like sending army soldiers to the border speaking about immigrant caravans on their way to the u.s. border as an invasion so certainly he's been using immigration as

a massive tomic topic or the fear or the threat as he puts it of immigration but also he sometimes refers to an economy an economy that he says he slowly been responsible for this is normal comments on the economy in his speech. this election will decide whether we build on the extraordinary prosperity that we've only nobody can believe what's happened or whether we left the radical democrats take control of congress and take a giant wrecking ball to our economy and to our future. americans now has the best car to me and the history of our country and we want to keep it that way. well president trump of course isn't standing in these elections he's supporting a large number of candidates who are but certainly his is going to have an immense influence on the process one way or another he has chosen himself to in effect make

this midterm election as a referendum on the quality of his presidency over the past two years and certainly democrats are hoping that this will reflect an increased numbers at the polls rejecting the type of presidency that the president trump has exercised and supporting those democrats who want to get rid of that and importantly get control of that house of representatives most polls indicate that the democrats may well do that they may not take the senate they need two more seats or need to flipped two seats in the senate which on the face of it seems difficult but the last word opinion polls were dreadfully wrong in the elections back in twenty sixteen so nobody's placing much stock in them at the moment my camera there with the latest from washington d.c. mike thank you. still to come on the cell jazeera news our immigration may not be such a bad thing why venezuelan seeking safety in neighboring colombia could help to generate growth. i'll tell you why mexico's government was forced to turn off the taps of

ahead of it very windy too will gradually work its way southeast woods as we head into sunday it is breaking up a little bit as it does so meanwhile while all of that messy weather is happening for the eastern parts of europe it's very different hicky have very warm up at twelve degrees we should be around five at this time of year for bucharest we're at eighteen and we should be near a ten so i really very warm for us for the other side of the mediterranean we've also had some severe weather here recently too particularly over parts of tunisia and area is a link to that same system over the mediterranean there more wet weather is expected as we had three saturday and sunday and again some could be very heavy and cause quite a bit of disruption towards the west is cooler now forcing rubato maxim is just twenty degrees. november on al jazeera radicalized you a new hard hitting series comes face to face with the hatred and violence of

militant groups but attracting young people around the world on november fifth the u.s. will impose additional sanctions on iran targeting the oil sites we'll look at the impact that may have when migrant lives are in danger and see who should come to their aid people in power investigates the united states is getting ready for the u.s. midterm elections on november sixth join us for live coverage and analysis and a listening post continues to examine global media coverage and look behind the headlines november on al-jazeera. on counting the cost the usa still the largest on regulated market in the developed world who pays its brags it goes wrong plus the seychelles leads the way in eco finance with the world's first blue ball. counting the cost on al-jazeera.

a quick reminder of our top stories here on turkey's president reject tire birdo and has suggested the order to kill saudi journalist jamal khashoggi came from the highest level of the saudi government writing in the washington post he said he didn't think it was saudi king solomon called the head. around is already taking a very big hit after the u.s. and i asked it was reimposing all sanctions on iran that had been lifted under this twenty fifteen nuclear deal. protests have been called off in pakistan after the government came to agreement with conservative muslim groups they were angry over the acquittal of a woman sentenced to death for alleged i mean. the murder of jamal khashoggi is another reminder of the dangers facing journalists and how the messenger is

becoming an increasing target the united nations is recognizing this with an international day to highlight those who died simply doing their jobs and the killers who remain on punished john hall explains anticorruption journalist daphne corona. killed when a bomb exploded under her car in malta one year ago. palestinian photographer shot by israeli forces during a mass demonstration along the gaza border in april. and at least eight journalists murdered in mexico so far this year their profession now categorized as high risk in that country and getting riskier almost everywhere else this year seventy five journalists at least have been killed roughly to a week i've yet nobody gets punished for these crimes so what we want are buying international norms in the form of a united nations convention so we're tress the question of impunity because

impunity doesn't just affect the journalists or their families it affects the whole of society because the implication is that if you can get away with killing a journalist more people are likely to attack and kill journalists and in that way more journalists end up self censoring in certain societies where they're under threat in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight told a day not unlike this one bugbear in dissident and journalist yogi markup was murdered on london's waterloo bridge allegedly by a member of his country's secret service the weapon of choice a poison tipped umbrella. attacks on journalists are nothing new they've been going on bryza long as the powerful about something to hide from the people but the silencing of free speech is no less shocking for that whether by bombs by bullet or other insidious means. the two thousand and eighteen version of the umbrella murder on waterloo bridge the alleged strangulation and dismemberment of exiled saudi

journalist jamal khashoggi inside the country's consulate in istanbul the middle east is at the louis rank of the. reporters without borders index for freedom of press it is the was pleased to be a journalist we know of cases where journalists are. just one in many in syria in palestine in egypt across the region in the growth this is a pattern that has gone on for far too long what chance of justice for her and the great many others the u.n. notes that in nine out of ten cases the killers go unpunished jonah how al jazeera london. with the arrival of more than one million venezuelan migrants colombia could generate growth for the country that's according to the world bank which is released a report on the impact of migration in this way let's go live now to alice and

around p.s.e. is in cook on the colombia venezuela border so alison so this report has some pretty interesting findings and. definitely this is the first comprehensive study to truly try and define the social and economic impact that this extra dues has had so far on colombia's a country that as you were saying in your introduction has received more than half of the venezuelans who have fled the economic males down in minnesota two thousand and fifteen and while there is no doubt that this extra do says had the number of negative effects for a country like colombia that has a lot of issues so now there's also a possibility or in the future especially in a country that is getting older like colombia and that's what the world bank is

saying based on international experience in previous crisis across the world and in this report they have designed a number of bric commendations for colombia and there are countries in the regions to try and transform in the medium and long term. to challenge into an opportunity. the world bank calls it an unprecedented exodus in latin america one more a keen to a full blown refugee crisis than people searching for a better life it's one conclusion of a report by the international financial institution says the impact that the venezuelan exodus is having in neighboring colombia the speed and number of migrants escaping the country coupled with their vulnerable condition makes the venezuelan crisis one of the world's worst yet many believe it's not getting enough

attention. people go crazy over the caravan of central americans entering mexico trying to reach the u.s. five maybe six thousand migrants that's how many we get every four days. to see father francesco. a shelter and services for migrants in the border city of. hundreds of venezuelans sign up for assistance bayley they receive meals for fifteen days and at thirty dollars bonus for three months. at the end of three months they're in the same desperate conditions as they were before hungry lacking a roof in need of medical attention jobs but we can't remove the world bank says the crisis this year alone has already cost colombia one point two billion dollars the report praises columbia's open arms policy and its efforts to register the new arrivals to cope with the emergency yet few manage to find proper jobs. that she

bellows been here for eight months with her husband and children there selling on the streets. how my husband and i are trying to get hired but it's difficult because we're immigrants far illegally but there's a silver lining in the report the world bank says that in the long term you're right well that so many young migrants could be beneficial for the colombian economy if local authorities act fast. and needs more young workers legalising the new arrivals in creating jobs could reap benefits in coming years the government says it agrees with the suggestions but implementing them requires money they don't have it. no government is making a huge effort in the middle of major fiscal restrictions we need the international community to understand what's happening and lend a hand. international donors have promised a hundred into the million dollars for colombia only thirteen million has arrived

so far with the crisis expected to continue in likely getting worse the entire continent with the consequence is. the colombian foreign minister presenting the report just less than an hour ago in the capital. consider its findings on the mantle for colombia and other countries in the region he said at colombia will take their world bank recommendations out heart and he believes that essentially there are two things here that could really turn help turn around there are mitigating negative effects of this crisis the arrival of more help from the international community and a better coordinated effort on a regional level part of all the receiving countries. there live from alexandria thank you. egypt's president has promised to punish those responsible

required first violence must stop everywhere. with an immediate all terrans critical infrastructure and densely populated areas and they welcomed a strong and constructive engagement from many member states in recent days joining their voices to the un's repeated appeals for his ascension of those theses and supporting my special envoys efforts there's increasing concern about tension between two key u.s. allies in northern syria turkey and the kurdish led syrian democratic forces american troops have now begun joint patrols with turkish soldiers in man bridge the s.d.f. is based nearby it's led by kurdish fighters who turkey consists terrorists us hopes the joint operations will prevent military confrontations between turkish and kurdish pointis two thousand american troops are working alongside the s.d.f. in the fight against eisel. indonesian divers are searching for the second black

box flight recorder from monday's plane crash that killed all one hundred eighty nine people on board president joe cole widodo has visited the headquarters of the search operation on the dock site in the capital jakarta one of the two black boxes was discovered on thursday and a signal has been detected from the second which contains the cockpit voice recordings the eight million residents of mexico city are looking forward to having their water supply restored on saturday after a three day enforced drive authorities turned off the supplies so they could carry out major maintenance work on one of the world's largest pumping systems bringing more statistics here that's more than two thousand meters of sea level and will rock pollo has more. authorities say that as many as three million of mexico city's eight million residents have already been impacted by water cuts the city's water system director has urged residents who still have water to use it sparingly he said quote take extreme care of the water this means no washing clothes this means

taking baths with small buckets and no washing dishes in the sink a lot of the public schools here in mexico city have also shut down for the duration of these water cuts giving families an opportunity to leave town some of the wealthier parts of the city have their own private cisterns but we're talking about upscale restaurants upscale hotels and at many of the shopping malls a lot of the the businesses in the city have shut down for the duration of these water cuts and it could be until november eighth that full service is restored but water shortages are not uncommon in mexico authorities have been preparing for this for several weeks now setting up large tankers in strategic parts of the city filling up cisterns with possible water in the event of an emergency but again though the water table underneath mexico city has been exploited for many many years so this is not a new problem for authorities in fact it's one of the reasons that many of the historic buildings in mexico city are sinking by an average of about twenty centimeters every year so this maintenance being done is very important it's believed that as much as forty percent of possible water is lost through leaks in

these faulty pipes so this is a much anticipated maintenance project by the city of mexico city. russia and china being blamed for blocking international efforts to create the world's largest marine mazhar in antarctica the weddell sea is thought to be home to thousands of undiscovered species but twenty four countries in the antarctic commissioned to conserve marine life couldn't agree on making it a no go zone for fishing mining and drilling and it almost has more now from hole bot. the proposal was to create another marine park in antarctica this time five times the size of germany an area of pristine ocean protected from fishing mining drilling almost all of human activity. the whale sea is an icy wilderness and one of the world's last arena protection would have kept it that way but in hobart delegations from twenty four different countries with an interest and i've talked to as well as the european union which led the pot proposal needed to reach

consensus where exactly where the parks boundaries be would any fishing be allowed how reliable is the science supporting the need for complete protection how many decades with the protection lost for they couldn't agree after two weeks of talking behind closed doors the head of india's delegation revealed no consensus had been reached. and they wanted to some. understanding is not. unfortunately standing is not that much in twenty six to the same delegates in the same building were able to reach agreement to create another marine park and talk to. that one covering the rossi was supposed to create momentum for more but an attempt to create one in east antarctica last year failed the failure on friday to create one in the world del see the sense of

gloom for conservationists and of course extremely disappointed that this meeting was unable to reach consensus it's been a campaign that really engage people and people want to see and talk to get a ticket and to see it failing at this meeting is of course very disappointing delegates meet in hobart every year there will be more chances to create marine parks in future but every year that passes means what is ultimately protected will be a little less. in the end i'm told it was a disagreement about the quality of the science behind the need for a new marine protected area that led to the lack of consensus with two countries china and russia refusing to sign up now in the past those thank you countries have come around to proposals that in previous years they'd opposed but only after those proposals had been signed off by the highest level of politics in those countries the president's the hope is that in time the same can happen with this proposal to toss out is there a program or start here still to come on down to zero. i love his chance for him to

stand his pain.
