welcome back our top stories on al-jazeera polls open in just a few hours for one of the most divisive u.s. midterm elections in years to present donald trump it three states in the final day of campaigning holding his last ronnie in missouri the vote is seen as a referendum on his presidency. abuses committed against china as we go muslim minority are under the spotlight in geneva this to say the united nations human rights council is conducting its periodic review of the chinese government's human rights records exiled way grokked of this are urging the international community to take a hard line against. and turkey's foreign minister says authorities have more evidence regarding the killing of jamal khashoggi they haven't yet shared with the public his comments come after turkish media reports said stop by the saudi consulate in istanbul trying to tamper with security cameras to help cover up the journalists matter the daily sabah says they try to rip out the camera inside the consulate on

october second the day jamal khashoggi was murdered it. now britain's prime minister theresa may is holding a cabinet meeting to finalize breaks at negotiations. he's expected to tell minnesota she needs a deal on leaving the e.u. signed within the next three weeks and speak to lawrence lee who is live in london for us nor is this is being described as a critical cabinet meeting for breaks in negotiations what are we expecting well it is a critical meeting is true but then again fully how many times have we heard of the last few months that's whatever given me things about to happen is crucially important it's all still about the irish border which is insoluble like they can't find a solution to how to leave the european union while keeping the border open and free but if you cast your mind back there was supposed to result back by the european union summit in june that was a deadline for sort of the hour for drought and then they said they're going to do

it over and then there was supposed to be another special summit in the member now though none of those things that happens by the prime minister basically saying to her ministers this morning if you can't agree within three weeks then we can have a special summit at the end of november to finalise something which would mean it will go to the e.u. summit in december and then it's christmas and then run of the road you know the possibility of falling out of the european union entirely without a deal becomes the likelihoods and so effectively the message to her ministers is look if you don't like it then you've either got to man up and compromise or face the consequences of no deal but the point of the european union countries keep making is they can't negotiate with the u.k. while the u.k. still at war with itself right and that's been the problem for so many months and still there's no sign of any of it being resolved so time is running out to agree on a deal what happens nauruans if they don't have a compromise they don't agree by december. well

a some point the parliament has got to have a vote on what they come back with i think that's but to say whether it's a no deal or whether it's a deal that's not very acceptable and frankly both of those options will get what will fail in the parliamentary votes and so i still think you're facing the prospect at some point either before christmas or a new or in the new year of the government potentially collapsing because neither deal is palatable suits own parliaments and what happens then is a completely open question of said many times before are still say that it's perfectly possible that breaks it might actually not happen simply because it will collapse under the weight of his own contradictions but it's the contingency effects on the u.k.'s reputation the so damaging because if you talk to diplomats in the e.u. or outside it's just shaking their heads with despair that the u.k. voted to do something two years ago and can't find a way of actually carrying it through and that has a big impact on the u.k.'s reputation of places like the un security council the g

a peace deal with the palestinians since the takeover of the gaza strip in two thousand and seven relations between the hamas leadership in gaza and fact to him ramallah have been frosty at best the palestinian legislative council hasn't convened for more than ten years crippling all political and economic life a stumbling block the palestinian factions haven't been able to bypass so far the unity is crucial to face challenges like trying to deal with these really ongoing settlement paula. see in the latest nation state law but reconciliation is further away there is real danger that this will turn into a sensation between ramallah and gaza and that is the worst that could happen the visit is seen by many in israel as a signal that change could be coming the change of political awareness that's going on that israel is not this inevitable adversary but actually could be an hour and a partner and that has existed at elite levels for

a long time but now it's starting to filter down to wider audience and these countries are not going to. open up embassies in jerusalem the day after tomorrow but i think they will explore ways of building relationships piece by piece that serve their national interest arab countries continue to say that resolving these really palestinian conflict we means the priority but it also seems that some countries at least a willing to change the regional order but that that hamid al-jazeera in west jerusalem authorities in cameroon have launched a major search and rescue operation after gunmen kidnapped seventy nine students two teachers and their principal and were taken from a school nearby men die in the northwest by fighters pushing for an independent state alexia brian has more this dormitory should be full if the sounds of students

hello it's been one of the most divisive and expensive campaigns in recent history americans will go to the polls shortly for crucial midterm elections in missouri on monday night president donald trump made a last ditch attempt at preserving the republican upper hand in congress with his signature hard line rhetoric on immigration and a taxi. press trump asked crowds at the final rally to unite behind his party all four hundred thirty five seats are up for election in the house of representatives along with a third of the senate and dozens of state governorships both parties see the vote as a referendum on trump's presidency. democrats' immigration policies are extreme danger is reckless and insane they support catch and release they want to free criminal allan's they want no pro-tax use for american workers or taxpayers and they want totally open borders which means crime will poor into our country.

illegal immigration course our country more than one hundred billion dollars every year and that's before then the budgets of missouri indiana and wisconsin combined the character of this country is on the belt who we are is on the ballot what can i thank you what kind of politics we expect is on the ballot how we conduct ourselves in public life is on the ballot how we treat other people is on the ballot well the outcome of tuesday's midterm elections could drastically change the political dynamics in washington has the details. president isn't on the ballot in this midterm election but with polls predicting the democratic party will be in

control of at least one house of congress could find himself in the center of political fallout once the votes are counted. if democrats take control of the house of representatives they would have the power to issue a flurry of subpoenas and launch a slew of investigations one level it's an embarrassment of riches because there are so many. scandals and. so many allegations of corruption swirling around the president including criminal investigations i think there's certainly going to be looking at his tax returns and frankly looking at any financial involvement that he has had in russia or financial talks financial deals with russia representative nancy pelosi who would likely become speaker in a democratic controlled house in january has described the trumpet ministration as one of brazen corruption cronyism and incompetence but senior democrats are weary

of pushing for the ultimate sanction impeachment. that could change depending on how special counsel robert muller's investigation of russian meddling in two thousand and sixteen and a broad range of other legal issues turns out it really comes down to. how damning if the report is damning are those reports of demi how damning are they and what ammunition to democrats have on which to what grounds they have to impeach trump on if democrats control the house legislative gridlock would likely prevail for the remainder of trump's term but trump could continue his unconventional foreign policy ventures and he already plans to hold summit meetings with kim jong il and lattimer putin in twenty nineteen the minute the midterm votes are counted the press and politicians will turn their sights to the next election cycle already

democratic presidential hopefuls are testing the waters in places like iowa and new hampshire hoping to be the one to run against trump two years from now and if you thought this election was intense emotional and divisive just wait for twenty twenty rob reynolds al-jazeera washington. well meanwhile facebook has blocked one hundred fifteen user accounts just hours before u.s. voters head to the polls the decision was taken after the social media giant received a tip off from u.s. law enforcement about suspicious behavior linked to a foreign entity some accounts were focused on celebrities were others on political debates and in a blog post facebook said it cannot determine at the stage where the accounts originated from our white house correspondent kimberly hauck it has this update from washington d.c. with the poll set to open in just hours in the united states there are reports of potential election meddling facebook putting out

a notice saying that it was contacted by law enforcement because of your regular online activity linked to foreign entities facebook saying it took immediate action removing and blocking thirty facebook accounts eighty five instagram accounts the facebook administrators say that these accounts were in both the russian as well as french language even in english in some cases the account seemed to be talking about celebrities as well as prompting political debates but given the spark in a legal activity or potential illegal or regular activity the concern of facebook was well this was a pre limb unary investigation they felt given the importance of this congressional midterm election it was important to alert the public about the existence of these accounts of the action that had occurred and also what facebook is doing to combat it. well china has a legit abuse against a weaker muslim minority will be under the spotlight in geneva on tuesday the un

nothing less than reeducation camps were up to a million men and women are being held indefinitely without charge and a grand chinese government is doing that with the international repercussions so i believe that china would accelerate its start to wipe out the whole we were a nation if the world wouldn't be stronger harsher and china tire here a minute believes he'd be in a camp if he returned to shin jang he says a chinese state security agent tried to persuade him to go back after he moved to israel to study early last year leaving his wife and daughter behind in shin jang. the agent also a week or telephoned him repeatedly wanting details of women's contacts in israel sometimes the calls were taunting should you and it gives you that don't give us
