politics this is the most important election anyone of you will remember. very character our country is on the ballot tuesday and rob reynolds joins us live now from washington d.c. rob said president trump has been crisscrossing the country in this final push ahead of the midterms what effect has he been having yes that's right there and the president has been in two states holding political rallies on saturday one in florida and another in the state of montana both of them are crucial to continued republican control of the senate now already twenty million votes have been cast by early voters vote by mail and others and so many of the votes are already in but of course everyone is waiting for tuesday and the final reckoning now president trump

hit on some familiar themes in his rallies including immigration the. republicans need for control of the supreme court and the state of the u.s. economy. way we can talk about the economy but the fact is we know how well we're doing with the economy and we have to solve problems i'm looking to south problems not talk into the fact that we have done a great job and we have done a great job for the economy worth so we now have the hottest economy anywhere on earth we have the best economy that the united states has ever had in the last month alone we ended another two hundred and fifty thousand jobs think of the is a robot with lots of talk about this blue way specter by the democrats by the polls of course have been wrong in the past so how are the democrats expected to do. well

the democrats are expected to do pretty well considering as we just heard from president trump that the economy is humming along but the fact is that it's really a referendum on trump in many cases the democrats have been pushing themes of continuing to protect americans access to health care to having. insurance companies continue to to allow people to join insurance companies even if they have . pre-existing conditions and these have proved to be effective for the democrats the on the republican side you'd think that trump would be more popular because of is as he said the economy is doing quite well but in fact he's at about forty percent approval rating at forty of the latest gallup poll and that's really historically low no one has had no president i should say has had such a rating since going into the we had term elections since one thousand nine hundred

seventy four so the sort of consensus view point by the pundits the pollsters with the cab yet that the pollsters can and have been wrong in the past is that the democrats are likely to pick up about thirty seats maybe more in the house they only need twenty three to flip it to control of the democrats but it's looking increasingly like this the u.s. senate will remain under the control of the republican party so we will have really a recipe for gridlock in washington with a divided government rob thank you now thousands of central american migrants hoping to reach mexico city have had their hopes dashed they were supposed to be taken by bus to the mexican capital on their way north to the u.s. but the governor of veracruz state rescinded the alpha mine eruption and has more from mexico city. the governor of it i could be a lange had eunice had promised as many as five thousand one hundred migrants that

they would be provided free transportation from been a cruise to mexico city only to withdraw that offer citing concerns over a water crisis here in mexico city now i'll tell you exactly what he said he said quote the shortage will affect more than seven million people adding that he didn't want to add to the problem here in mexico city now we should mention that those water cuts are over the government announced early this morning that water had been restored almost entirely and the migrants formed wrote an open letter to the governor saying that they were disappointed that the decision was made and called it unacceptable that such a promise would be made only to have that withdrawn the governor of did invite migrants to be transferred to a crew city where they could be provided food shelter as well as as well as medical attention given that many migrants of have reportedly fallen ill but we had the recent reports that we've heard from sources within the caravan is that they have chosen not to take the government on that offer and instead chosen to walk to mexico city from here they will meet with immigration officials sign their names in

a registry and request transportation to the u.s. southern border ultimately that is where they're headed but it could still be several weeks before they reach that point thousands of u.s. troops have been deployed to the border with mexico to stop that care about of migrants that's drawn criticism from former u.s. defense officials p.j. crowley is a former u.s. state department spokesman and a retired air force colonel he says there are political overtones to the timing of the deployment. obviously the timing of this coming just on the evening of an important election you know even though the caravan that's become a centerpiece of much of his electoral rhetoric is still more than a month away from approaching the united states so i think there is you know this broad concern that that american military forces are being you know used for in an operation that has very very strong political overtones i think what is unusual

here is is the rhetoric the presidential rhetoric surrounding the deployment you had in the last couple of days you know the president even suggests that if troops are confronting a rock throwing rocks throwing civilians they would be authorized to use lethal force you know the military actually in the last ten or fifteen years you know given that more and more military operations are coming with civilians nearby the military has been training to go in the opposite direction to try to your resist using lethal force to use the lowest level of force you know to resolve a situation so i think you know that that president or rhetoric the the portrayal of this as a crisis you know very few i think military officers would agree you know that this is a crisis particularly when you look at what's happening elsewhere in the world in syria or yemen or afghanistan this is a very manageable situation the military you know can play a useful role here but obviously as you said you know the rhetoric would suggest

that there's a very strong you know political motivation behind what the president is doing. lots more so it's coming on the news hour including camps for internally displaced people are burned to the ground in central african republic thousands have been displaced in the latest fighting. turkey heads into choppy waters with the oil project that could increase tensions with cyprus and greece and its port city play for the first time since that time i only was killed in a helicopter crash at the stadium. turkish government media reporting that three members of the saudi hit squad that murdered journalist. were responsible for disposing of his body the newspaper says the men dismembered his corpse and put the remains into five suitcases these were driven to the saudi consuls residents near the consulate where she was killed on

october the second some of the suspects have close ties to saudi crown prince mohammed bin on saturday president rush of type one wrote in the washington post that he believes the order to kill came from the highest levels of the saudi government. as more from istanbul. turkey's on the offensive putting more political pressure on sunday and brave year to reveal more information about what happened to the second of october who gave the order to kill him and the whereabouts of his remains the daily newspaper for example spoke about three key players in the death squads. and a t.v. saying that they were the ones responsible for dismembering the body of. moving parts of the body into the consul's residence where it was destroyed without further elaborating on what happened but it seems that the. leaks that were drip fed to the local media made quite significant in impact in the past forcing

the saudis to change their narrative from denial into admitting that this was a premeditated killing and this explains why president. the deputy head of the party are saying that king solomon but abdul aziz the one who should tell the world exactly what happened now what's next for turkey i think they are their eyes are now on the b. term elections in the us and they are waiting for the upcoming meeting between president and president trump on the tenth of november in paris and that would decide the next step for turkey but i think they have said in the past they still have strong material that they will use when time comes and this is all part of a bid to force saudis into a cannot aging that they made a mistake and telling the world who was responsible for that but at the same time they would like to rally international support against saudi arabia. for the first

time in more than nine months a that's been delivered to more than fifty thousand people in a camp in syria a u.n. convoy of forty three trucks brought much needed food and supplies well a compass in a rebel held area near the border with jordan surrounded by government forces reports. sandstorm season and rock band we're going blind this boy says our homes are destroyed take us away from him. ban is the no man's land in more ways than one a desolate camp in the open desert near the jordanian border caught between warring sides there's no escape. people came here three years ago fleeing i still fight has us russian and syrian air strikes now there are some fifty thousand people many of them women and children. i know you're one of those protests began last month after

a smuggling route for food and medicine was closed by government forces. he's disabled he's also seen he's almost a skeleton from starvation. officials say a u.n. aid convoy expected last week was delayed because of security concerns but now it's finally here food hygiene and health supplies to be distributed over the next three to four days. humanitarian convoys here require approval from damascus the last time repond received any aid was in january then a cross border delivery from jordan a red distribution after it sealed its border in the aftermath of a twenty sixteen isolette tack that killed seven jordanian soldiers we said we're not going to or. as syrian people on syrian territory so it is the responsibility of the syrian government and the yuan and the international community but wasn't

established national. just. by. so that's where. the strangely border. u.s. forces have a military base nearby policing a fifty five square kilometer so-called deescalation zone. russia blames the u.s. for the deteriorating situation the u.s. says russia and syria using rock band as an excuse to question its presence here so they really want to help these people or do you want to use them as a as a as something to kind of come after us this is not the united states problem started jordan problem these are syrians these syrians are dying and many of these new graves are so very small the red crescent says despite this delivery the situation remains critical no one perhaps knows that better than those burying

their children here. al-jazeera. voters in new caledonia are deciding whether or not to break away from france polls have been open now for several hours the last vote for independence thirty years ago ended in violence the territories a strategic military foothold for france in the pacific under thomas reports now from there in new caledonia. new caledonia is nearly twenty thousand kilometers from paris yet the pacific island territory has been since eight hundred fifty three parts of france but after sunday the bones could be broken new caledonians will be asked whether they want their territory to cede full sovereignty and become an independent. opinion polls suggest those of european descent like those on this rally in may want to remain french i think played only i'm france is the best that we can have. but the french states and the french president too visited new caledonia earlier this year are officially neutral that

has a lot to do with history in that ninety seven people of indigenous quranic dissent boycotted a referendum because they saw the process then as rigged in favor of french loyalists the following year on the outlying island of ear supporters of independence resorted to violence on the twenty second of april night in eighty eight a big group of pro independence cannot command stormed the play station then stood on this site killing for placement inside and taking a group of more than twenty others hostage france sent in a military team in the assault two of that team were killed as were nineteen of the hostage takers some it's now known were executed this time france is determined both sides see the process as fair and accept the result only french settlers with a decades long history new caledonia will be eligible to vote and should the result be no to independence independence supporters will have to further chances with

follow up referendum to twenty twenty and twenty twenty three sit and. zoeth this time around political leaders have managed the process well. cannot people especially feel independence is long overdue new caledonia was taken by the french one hundred fifty three there was no agreement from the indigenous people no treaty and supporters of independence think my. big nickel deposits will be enough for new caledonia to survive economically but loyalists doubt that about one point five billion dollars a year flows from paris to new caledonia as capital near france accounts for fifteen percent of our annual g.d.p. so that you get us losing that would be a catastrophe many people would lose their jobs the public service would collapse new caledonians are accustomed to a certain standard of living it would all come down at once unless china stepped in in past decade specific garden nations have been reliant on european benefactors

and neighbors in australia new zealand and the united states but china's spending in influence across the pacific region is growing and you caledonia independent of france would quickly become a target andrew thomas al-jazeera over here and you caledonia well let's talk to dennys fischer she's an australian diplomats and former stray and consul general for new caledonia she joins us via skype from canberra so why is this referendum happening now and just how important is it to the island nation. well we'll this is the very last day actually legally possible for it to take place under a series of records that put an end to that. bush will civil war that took place in the nineteen eighties that darron was speaking about and so this is the the end phase of that process it's a promise that france has kicked and he's keeping today and from our perspective in

this corner of the world it's quite a momentous thing to see this vote today many of the pacific island neighbors called for it in the one nine hundred eighty s. have supported it and they have sent a delegation of observers to the to the vote today so it's something that has been very long sought after and be seen as part of the phase of decolonization of canada and we know that most of the european inhabitants are pro france with indigenous chemical and does want to break away so how close is the vote expect of a baby and what's really at stake here. well it's very a good question because most of the pro french people will say oh it's going to be seventy thirty in favor of staying with france some of the polls that have taken place have indicated sixty forty to stay with france and there are problems with the polls because they're very small samples and also they don't say whether the people being asked the question are actually entitled to vote because only a few people can but not everybody can vote today but that being said the trend

seems to be a pretty cheap favor of staying with france but the actual there are some uncertainties because we don't know precisely how many of the one hundred seventy four thousand people going to cults today actually digitas come out and we don't know how many of them will turn out to vote and how many will vote to stay with france or to become independent so there are some uncertainties and certainly we'll be watching for how close the vote might be by the end of the day in terms of the geopolitics demis i mean how new caledonia is one of france's most strategic outposts but if they do vote to break away there are concerns that mineral rich continent could be sort of up by china i mean how real of those concerns. there has been a lot of talk of that mr macross bocas that when he visited in may and spoke of the strategic axis paris new delhi canberra and new media provided niet stays french in order to counterbalance the influence of china i think our perception in the region a little bit more nuanced than that china is certainly becoming more engaged in the

region it is a major economic is a major economy in the region and it needs to get its own resources but it's nothing new for you caledonia to be dealing with the chinese the kind of hot land northern province is administered by the kind of people and they have for fifty one percent ownership in a nickel plant and the main customer is china they have direct dealings with china they have a joint venture with china so it's not as though they this is a very new thing and of course strayer deals with china as a major customer on a day to day basis so it's a bit more nuanced from this perspective there is no doubt that france in the region has been a well results western ally and should its status change the basis of its status to the pacific change well of course that's an important strategic question just a final thought from you i mean polls suggest as i say that there remain votes will win the referendum but island as well have two more chances well they over the next

four years to vote again is the result like the chains then do you think. there is a possibility it could change i in fact it was the independent leaders that insisted on this three step process and provided a third of the congress can agree it will be a second and third vote so long as the vote is no and the independents people have a star athlete definitely got more than a third of the seats in the local congress so one would expect a second in a third vote and during that time all of the indigenous people are entitled to vote in this referendum in these referendums and they are hoping i guess but i'm demographic impact on. a growing new you come at young people to go to each time so they they are very concerned that they those two notes be held it's interesting that one of the profound studies and the recall to those two votes to be to not not take place there are some questions for what happens not today but the day after today thank you very much indeed for your time the pleasure of ever

a more than seventy british business leaders have signed a letter calling for a second referendum on the u.k.'s exit from the european union it follows a march by more than a half a million people in london last month demanding another vote talks have been stalled over the status of the irish border after brags that the key sticking point in the go see asians a spokesman for british prime minister to resign may played down the reports a deal is near on friday arlen's deputy prime minister said the agreement could be achieved by the middle of the month. at least ten thousand people have been displaced by fighting in central african republic in the last four days camps set up for those who fled their homes have been attacked and at least two people killed doctors without borders has posted pictures which appear to show camps burnt to the ground former president say was overthrown by a coalition of rebel groups in twenty teen well that's when the mainly muslim rebel alliance called select a seized power in the capital forcing disease that a fleet of christian groups called. then rose against the muslim fighters when

a few months later the celica alliance fell apart and split into several groups an interim government took power in twenty fourteen but failed to stop the bloodshed and two years later force. was elected president but he struggled to gain control in last year's surge in fighting for several aid agencies to withdraw leaving tens of thousands without support countries now a battleground between various groups mostly muslim seleka fighters and anti groups omar bens as head of mission for doctors without borders in ca ah he's calling for more international help to protect civilians. the situation is quite critique in both the cities that are witnessing violence we have received in both hospitals reported by the m.s.f. doctors without borders but thank god for any man by around twenty one good so some of those cases are very critique and we're trying to evacuate than. bombard the situation continues to be serious because their recess friday fighting ongoing and

it seems our colleagues cannot war cannot move properly to find out the more people he needs because the patients that would be willing to come to the hospital but access he's not going to be very exciting on going so we're really concerned about that there's two things that are very important for the population very suffering these violence on the one hand the people pollution needs to be protected we need to ensure that the reef protection for these populations when fighting between different on groups happens that's really essential and on the other hand it is very important that we can have as many you know humanitarian actors as possible responding to be for me all right time for a short break here not just here but when we come back the legend of el chapo we look at the rise of the one of the most feared criminals in mexico. one of the world's largest turns over a new leaf with some much needed government help. for some of.

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here this hour campaigning in the u.s. midterm elections has entered its final stage both president donald trump and former vice president joe biden drumming up support before the vote on tuesday democrats are hoping to win back control of the house of representatives from the republicans. turkish government media reporting that three members of the saudi hit squad that murdered journalist a month ago were responsible for disposing of his body the newspaper says the men cut up the courts in the consulate and put the pieces into five suitcases and then taken to the saudi council's residence and voters in new caledonia are deciding whether or not to break away from france the last vote for independence thirty years ago and that in violence one hundred seventy four thousand people are legible for. more our top story now the u.s.

midterm elections president trumps policies and the rhetoric of inspired a record number of minority candidates to run mostly the democratic party and some of them could be about to make history states abrams's standing for governor in georgia if she wins should become america's first female black governor palin from the mexico hopes to become the first native american woman to enter congress christina hall quist is the first openly transgender nominee for a major party for governor and she's contesting in vermont we know in minnesota it and i'm our is the first somali american to run and if she wins she'll make history along with palestinian american. from michigan as the first muslim american woman in congress more now from alabama where a record number of african-american women are running for office. of the annual magic city classic brings the entire community together in american football showdown between the two largest historically black universities is the

mid-term elections approach. politics is never far away. but doug jones this is an important event when he won a special election last year jones became the state's first democratic senator in more than two decades a victory sealed with overwhelming support from african-american women voters is when say campaign as his spokes change we believe that that's how we're going to liberate those communities and so you're seeing these women step up particularly black women without a black man to say enough is enough we have to take back our power and put that power back to the people. mother of two veronica johnson is one of those determined to challenge the status quo she's just one of the wave of women determined to change alabama's politics so yes i'm unhappy but there's only so much ranting you can do on facebook there's only so much ranting you can do on twitter i can't rant i'm not going to put myself out there to make the time just that need to be timed

this the most important thing i think is a referendum on the current president the comics that political science professor angela lewis says the unprecedented number of black female candidates will have a lasting impact see women run for office and win office in alabama. come to motivate those women who were sitting on the train you know but i'm tired of politics as usual let me just throw my head out there and run for office is the way abbott. alabama remains a deeply conservative state but the sheer number of candidates this year could be a sign of things to come alabama ranks among the bottom six states of female representation but these midterm elections may change that in all there are around seventy female candidates running for various positions many of them african-american and the driving forces behind this are important the election of democrat doug jones being one the b. two movement is also playing a role but there's also an overwhelming desire to change politics as normal and

make elected officials. where the candidates like veronica win or lose on november the sixth may not matter in the long run it's example for others that may send the most powerful message. birmingham alabama when i spoke to missouri state representative barbara washington she got into politics last year and explains why she's on the ballot on tuesday. i wanted to run because i felt like as an african-american woman who's college educated activist speak for the total community african-american women have always been the backbone of the democratic party way back to fan fannie lou hamer who just went around organizing making sure people knew what to vote knew what the issues will were to someone as great as shirley chisholm who was the first african-american woman to run for president in america so working with that bad

bone i wanted to be a part of that force that made a difference in our community because those who are representing us now are not doing that women are fed they're fed up with being treated like third class citizens especially in government and in america that we hope to build on we're putting forward so yes president trump's policies behavior and his disrespect of women has pushed women forward we're tired of sitting back and we're speaking up when we're sexually harassed when we go through sexual deviation when we are suffering from domestic violence all of those issues are coming forward into the forefront and legislation is being pushed and that's why women black women have been sitting back and helping others go forward we've been the organizers we've been the educators we've been giving people to the polls and we're tired because people are not doing it the way that they should do it for our community so i think this is going to move forward into twenty twenty to be at

a position for us to continue to run for office not only today in twenty twenty but forward as well what we run for president in two thousand and twenty i see a president harrison my teacher and i would love to see that and i know that there are other african-american women and women of all colors and people of both sexes and colors that would love to see that as well. iran's supreme leader. is calling the united states a declining power comes a day off to washington reimpose sanctions the restrictions on energy shipping on the finance sector have been lifted as part of the twenty fifth a nuclear deal with. the sanctions go into effect on monday as a bizarre reports iranians are trying their best to remain positive. when you look past all the politics what becomes clear is that american sanctions hurt iranian people more than they change iranian government policies american policy some would say trump's brinkmanship has meant economic chaos for iran the value of the iranian

ryall has suffered a major fall in the last year adding to high inflation and unemployment concerns all of this hurts low income and working people first and foremost they struggle to feed their families because prices for some basic goods have doubled. people's purchasing power has been reduced they talk about their problems. when a customer wants to buy something you can tell the situation some people used to come here to buy meat once a month now they come once every two months. when it comes to iran u.s. presidents have pursued a policy of containment for decades trying to limit iranians economically militarily and politically in their regional and global affairs even the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that president barak obama championed that gave iran back some of its financial freedoms many iranians so that is just a softer approach to the same containment policy but by turning back the clock on

bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people here that during his administration there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies but if trumpet hope pushing iranians towards poverty would inspire them to topple their own leaders he'll likely be disappointed previous protests never got big enough all he's apparently done is make people here miserable. i think mr trump is a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically worse his involvement in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him i really don't think that he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not as you do i think. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody knew. what iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems

three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house. the lawyer representing a christian woman in pakistan acquitted of blasphemy has left the country in fear for his life so you can look says he had to leave so he could continue to represent . his conviction was overturned on wednesday by the supreme court baby and spent eight years on death row officials have now agreed to stop him from leaving pakistan to end violent protests over the court ruling well solid charges pakistan's minister of information he says the deal with the protesters was struck within the constitutional framework. well you have successfully been able to diffuse the situation you know when you have in the groups you know i think the biggest challenge for the government was not to use you know the good muscle not to

follow and that thought the occasion elected that but i know you know that the something happened that it's a bad impression but we have been through this use the tension and diffuse the book that without hurting anyone that the book says that when you negotiate because there are certain things that you have to accept and the other party and except what we have not good negotiated on outside the constitution what ever the did modern we have up in the constitution and we are today we have to get you know the courts of law basically visited the reality of the biggest government has not done enough knowledge of government will start a process that will be a little longer that mythical long but ultimately we have to pick the issue previously and we have to. you know bring the country in education as well. protesters of ronit in india's capital demanding justice for the families of those
