9:10 am
people think. you tend to get an emphasis in the media that it's all about economics and frictionless trade it's not just about that it's about communities it's about people one simple statistic i think sums this up i mean if you take the european union's border on its east from the baltic sea to turkey for example there are one hundred thirty seven border crossings ok that's the whole of the eastern border now you take the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland there are over two hundred oficial border crossings so more than in the entire eastern flank of the european union and those borders cross through roads they cross through bridges indeed if you're driving on the dock into belfast motorway for one section of it if you're driving on the left hand side you're in the republican party and you're driving on the right hand side you're in northern ireland so this is something that there's a huge amount of interaction about rainy opposition leader charge of spying for

9:16 am
churches were closed and bells silenced by the uncertainties of the post soviet era but now the kremlin has settled on reestablishing religious faith as one of the country's principal identities sorry the russian orthodox church has been on a huge expansion drive in the past ten years the number of dioceses has doubled and ten thousand churches being built. it's exacerbated by human resource problem many more churches not enough ballerinas automated systems are an obvious solution but some people say they lack the soul and spirituality of the human touch like at this church school in moscow where featuring is being trained. well never a place of human soul for me it was also discovered that each praying glory to father glory to song and one living with prayed the same time. as i found out it's

9:22 am
of the program i'm richelle carey it's the final stretch of the all important two thousand and eighteen u.s. midterm elections at the high end voter turnout could reach record numbers so far an early voting more than thirty million americans have cast their ballots but it's one group of voters it's expected to play a crucial role and that is female voters particularly white women many are outraged by the way president speaks about women and last month that anger turned to rage after the nomination of supreme court justice brett kavanaugh who was accused of sexual assault and now with all four hundred thirty five seats in the house of representatives up for grabs and thirty five of the one hundred senate seats the midterms will certainly shape the final two years of trump's first term in office lots to discuss with our guests first white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has this report. one day after donald trump was sworn in as president hundreds of thousands of women gathered in cities

9:25 am
in the workplace still the battle for the female vote is intensifying republicans have released the sixty second advert aimed at winning over suburban college educated women voters clearly shows this demographic more than most is where conservative support is waning but notably trump never appears in the advert it's a signal even republicans realize the president remains toxic to many voters and in the fight to hang on for control of congress conservatives can't afford to lose a single female vote can really help get al-jazeera the white house. introduce the panel and washington d.c. ashley pratt a board member for republican women for progress in atlanta georgia kara lerner political reporter with think progress covering voting and election rights and in birmingham in the u.k. scott lucas professor of political science and american studies at the university of birmingham welcome to all of you so let's just first of all we'll get to the
9:26 am
issue with female voters in a moment first the number so far seem to be quite impressive for early voting actually what do you think is driving that. oh man i i think a lot of things you know a lot of people have asked me this question leading up to the elections who is more motivated is it republicans or is it democrats and i think it's honestly the trump factor here on both sides that you have the conservative base which is obviously very fired up to protect their status in the house and senate and they think that this referendum on trump's presidency just can't stand whereas democrats you know this is then a huge issue for them they know that if they can retake power they can have a referendum on trump and i think that that's a huge deal so that is obviously a motivating factor for the democratic base as well but over twenty million people have already voted in early voting in states all across the country and i think the
9:27 am
thing that's fascinating there too that i'd like to point out is that women in particular are the ones that are leading this early voting so in states like georgia florida texas tennessee over fifty three percent of women have already voted so that is a huge deal and i do think that women will turn out in huge numbers on election day as well just because of the rhetoric of this administration so i think there's a lot of things that are firing up both sides of the electorate and we will definitely come back to the rhetoric i'm glad you have brought that up actually first here i want you i want your thoughts as well what do you think is driving these huge numbers. sure i went to polling places here in georgia on friday which was the last day of the early voting period and people were wrapped around the building waiting to cast a ballot and they told me that this is not be a like any other midterm that they've experienced in the past there is way more at stake in this midterm here in georgia there's a candidate on the ballot for governor stacy abrams who stands to make history as the first black woman governor in the country and people in georgia i spoke with
9:28 am
many women are fired up and feel like so much of that state here and they. want to play one million people have cast early ballots and to put that in perspective in the last midterm only two point six million people total cast out including oust so we're poised to see a record turnout here and care i want to bring at you pointed out the historic nature of stacy abrams running for this particular position or not people thiel something different is it a fair comparison to say that that's how some people felt about voting for barack obama simply because it was a historic thing to do you think that's a fair comparison it is i have talked about is in georgia who say that they have not passed a ballot and obama was running for president so there's something about stacy a. large part of it is the fact that she does stand to make history in the same way that obama does but people are also talking about her policies abrams would expand
9:29 am
medicaid here in georgia well republican brian count one in and for women across the state especially low income women of color that would make a huge difference in their lives they're talking about stacy abrams the positions on public education. so it's not just the fact that she is a black woman and would be the first they're looking at this race holistically scott i want your insight as well on what is driving the huge turnout and early voting. oh i knew that carol that it's a historic moment the most important u.s. midterms in history but i would go beyond saying it's a referendum on donald trump i think cura points out for example it's a referendum on all the things it's a referendum on rights for people of color it's a referendum on education it's a referendum on health care it's a referendum on the economy i think we're trying to feeds into that is is that probably unlike any other president in history rather than trying to appeal for consensus in terms of electoral tactics his advisors are very much going for
9:30 am
a politics of division and that is a first of them and that type of heated language which i'm sure will discuss they're hoping it will attract some women who'll see some virtue in it but of course there's a lot of women who i think may be put off by that and the question is how many of them along with how many young people how many people for minorities turn up not only in early voting but next tuesday to say this isn't the way we want to go the way that donald trump has portrayed america actually do represent republican women i mean you're on the board of republican women for progress do you agree with that assessment from scott that donald trump and some of the republicans are campaign campaigning on division yes and i would like to bring that up here so republican women for progress i've actually opened a pac this year and what we've decided to do is to support female candidates who are moderate democrats who stand against trump's rhetoric and they're running against people who are basically rubber stamp trump republicans so here what we've decided to do is really take
9:31 am
a stand against the rhetoric of this administration against women one that we think has been very degrading toward women back in two thousand and sixteen we took a stand against trump and said you know this is not symbolic of the republican party at all he is not going to be our standard bearer and we're a bunch of young women who say no more enough is enough and this is wrong and we're willing to put party aside for principle and to say if there is a moderate democrat out there who is a female who would be an awesome candidate. she should have the chance to go up against this and she should know that some republican women are behind her i have traditionally voted republican i did not plan to win this midterm election i actually registered as an independent after twenty sixteen just because i was so disgusted by the future of the republican party i i do not think that it represents me as a young woman i think that it has really strayed from its core values of limited government freedom of speech and they've really embraced a very. i think extreme wing of the party and factionalized to the point of
9:32 am
division words do matter actually when a president just continues destructive rhetoric let me ask you something about that because i don't i don't think a lot of people really understand how significant that is for someone to choose to vote for a candidate outside of their party that's not a small thing i think you know sometimes democrats. would wouldn't we didn't i don't think this always appreciate how a die hard that can be to switch party lines was at a difficult decision for your group to take this position you know we had a lot of conversations about it and we just decided we couldn't stand for what the republican party stood for anymore and you know while there are some republicans that we do applaud here and there senator flake one of them lisa murkowski another one for taking stands against the administration most of them have been completely spineless and we're just deciding that we want to have spines and we want to remember this later on is a historic moment where republican women did speak out and speak up and say that
9:33 am
enough is enough and we can't tolerate as a young woman this rhetoric to continue we can't do this for our daughters we can't do this for our sisters or for our friends and when we hear things like on that hate the hollywood actress tape which i thought would have brought down his candidacy instead there were a lot of people who embraced it as just locker room talk and we all know that that is not ok and when you're talking again about your daughters your sisters and your friends or your coworkers you know that that type of rhetoric is not just something that is that in the locker room that is something that is pervasive in our culture and for a president to embrace that is a significant issue which is why then is being a relatively easy decision for us to say no more anough is enough now have people in the public and in the media been scrutinizing us for this decision of course any my my twitter is often lit up with people who just are saying the most offensive and degrading things such as i shouldn't vote or i should get back in the kitchen i don't know what i'm talking about but i have to think at the end of the day that.
9:34 am
this is something that i can support really been. she actually brought up the. access hollywood tape which. even when donald trump was elected he's continued that same type of language about women that same type of rhetoric about women as we saw in the storm story from can really help it win him the issue came up a brett kavanaugh. how have women house or support for him either gotten gotten bigger or lessened as it's been clear that that's who he is when it comes to women. i think the access hollywood hit was just the beginning of the last two years which have had such a fundamental change in how women across this country do things like sexual harassment and sexual assaults we've seen in the last two years me to move movement burgeoning and women realizing that these things are not ok to speak about openly and i think that ministry of planning it fell into politics we have women across
9:35 am
the country who are talking about issues like this in ohio a woman rachel crux is running for the state legislature i'm she was one of the women who was harassed by trump so i think women are realizing that they can buy back in the ballot box when it comes to their frustration and anger at these powerful men thinking that they can get away with statements like trumps and i think we're going to see a lot of women like actually maybe flipping parties and voting for moderate democrats or even progressive democrats because this is such an important issue to them so what have we seen scott so she right she talked about the ballot box that is this seems to also be driving more women to actually run for office as well yes but here i would be cautious not to be a person of the reactions from ashley here and that is are there women who are running on both sides sort of both republicans and democrats and it's refreshing to hear it's refreshing here actually talk about republican wonderful progress but
9:36 am
there's also some women might think of marsha blackburn running for senate tennessee who are hard line trump supporters so it's a little bit of a diverse and also again to put about for their reaction you know i know this person from family and friends who are women who are diehard trump supporters who will come up with a standard of lines which basically is look look at hillary clinton look she was a very bad pad candidate how could we vote for her or who will try to excuse trump's behavior and it still remains a fact that i get the perception there's a generational divide that there's a lot. young women out there who are trending towards voting independent considering candidates for both parties but there are a lot of women especially elderly women of you know my parents' generation who still are all in with no matter what you do so it's not just a generational divide let's let's get to the the crux of this there is a racial divide as well when we say women more often than not we're talking about white women white women supported trump in two thousand and sixteen it does seem
9:37 am
that their support has lessened some but we're still talking about what limited black and brown women their support for frump is basically and the single digits. ashley what do you make of that yes so i struggled with this one quite a bit because in twenty sixteen i had said frequently as an analyst and commentator that there was no way that women would be turning out for trump and i was very very wrong so i've been really careful going into this midterm election with the trends that i've been looking at and seeing when it comes to women just because it seems to be right now that the momentum is on the side of the democrats but again in two thousand and sixteen women were almost the deciding factor in that trump lection and they were the surprise factor there i believe it was fifty three percent of women voted for donald trump though that if you were a little percent of white women who voted for donald trump right exactly so when we break it down more into obviously demographics that's where it gets tricky for me because i as a white woman as
9:38 am
a young woman i know that i should apparently be voting independent or more progressive and i traditionally had fallen outside of that as a young republican but as this rhetoric has continued and i've been talking with more of people who are like me it seems as though it is going in the other direction so just based upon that alone i would say that this election will have an impact and will be different than in twenty sixteen but that generational divide is certainly true my home state of new hampshire a lot of the women there who are mothers who are older. i have said to me that it's all about the economy and that they can put aside the stuff that trump is saying and doing even though they don't find him to be a good role model for their kids because of his policies and that to me is just wrong and hypocritical because if you're going to go after hillary clinton and the clinton family regarding the monica lewinsky stuff or anything related to nepotism the same things are happening with him that trump administration so it almost seems
9:39 am
disingenuous that republicans of an older generation especially those older republican females are saying these things because if they look more closely what they'll realize in twenty twenty in these ads in these things that the president is saying and doing will be used against republicans for generations to come and you're either on the right or wrong side of history and that i think a lot of young women are recognizing you know you talked about the economy and the conna me in the in the u.s. does seem to be doing well but even having said that donald trump actually isn't talking a whole lot about that he's talking about a lot of other issues there's actually a quote that i pulled from a story in the new york times yesterday and it's it was talking to white female voters and this woman said he wants to protect this country and he wants to keep it safe and he wants to keep it free of invaders in the caravan and everything else that's going on obviously talking about the rhetoric that donald trump has been using about the migrants who are trying to make their way to the u.s.
9:40 am
. what is it about vet message in those words that donald trump is trying to convey to voters specifically why do you think it's resonating with some white women. trump knows what his base wants to hear and it's words like that about the caravan that are rallying his base these are people who voted for him in twenty sixteen because of his rhetoric about illegal immigrants and building the wall and he's just continuing on that same narrative whether or not the claims he's making are true he seems to care less but he knows that if he enters these white women and men about issues of immigration that it will drive them to the ballot box and to compete with some of these democrats who are turning out in record numbers and also know that ashley was talking about the generational divide when it comes to white women and i think it's also important to realize that this is also a geographical dubai i'm in atlanta right now where in some of the suburbs around
9:41 am
here white women are white women who either voted for trump in twenty sixteen or supported hillary so that there's no way that they would vote for a public cannot any level of the ballot in this race but in a few hours i'm going to try just an hour or two south to macon georgia where trump is having a rally. and there are undoubtedly going to be hundreds if not thousands of white women there standing behind the president so i think you have to look at the geographical divide across this country so all of us what are the difference in issues that. a white female voter cares about as opposed to a female voter of color something's overlap obviously but but those are two very distinct types of voters. in a sense i come back at the what's actually more interesting is that the issues that are there actually should unite and should be a white versus bloc issue when you talk about the key issue of health care for
9:42 am
example when you talk about the issue of education when you talk about the economy which in fact the trump campaign is really only continuing the progress under obama and where it goes next year with the future of the tax cut. and the federal debt that's going to huge those are issues which tend to unite what i find more interesting is the way that the divisive language might play with different groups of women and here i'd come back to immigration is possibly the key issue and that is trop and his advisors like steven miller have obviously gamble that this is the one issue they can use to get a republican victory so does that issue of immigrants as invaders or immigrants as terrorist which has been used in the past week or jews financing terrorist do white women respond differently to that dog whistle politics the people of color and will that make a difference next tuesday that's where i'd be looking at the dividing line or one in fact which actually is mythical and it's the uniting issues that will be more important i think that's a good way to wrap this up this question would appear to you actually i like what
9:43 am
what scott is saying is to focus on what are the uniting issues do you think that the candidates out there that can figure out the issues that obviously that unite voters clearly but if they can get on what unites female voters would guard listserv race that they might be on to something. they might be but i feel maybe a little jaded by all of this and i guess that's the sad reality of the situation i'm going to point back to something that senator flake actually said when he decided that he was going to vote no in order to allow for there to be an investigation into the cabin a kind of scandals that we were seeing into the the investigation piece when he did that he came out and said had i not been up for you know retirement and decided to walk away from politics i wouldn't have been able to do that because there is so much pressure on people really that are republican or democrat on either side of the political spectrum once you're in office to hold the party line and to not step
9:44 am
out of that line so that's honestly the state of american politics now where you can even vote or do something in your conscience or do something that you believe is unifying or that will heal the country because you know that you will not win your re-election bid so i hope that that's the direction that american politics moves but it scares me that that is the reality of the situation today where people don't feel like they can vote outside of their party or do the right thing because they're afraid of the electoral consequences of that but i think that more young people like myself are looking for more of a bipartisan solution to thing when it comes to policy or when it comes to decisions that are being made and legislated and hoping that people can work across the aisle because that's what democracy is and that is what american politics was meant to do and it was designed to be a conversation among people that could represent all people not just the base of each party actually but was a pretty good unifying message and i think we can all understand why you're
9:45 am
