4:02 pm
calling it quote a big victory on twitter but it is in fact a split decision the democrats have wrestled back control of the house of representatives while republicans retain their hold on the senate this means the president will likely face strong opposition in the lower house of congress he is due to hold a news conference in the next few hours american voters have also chosen a much more diverse group of leaders to represent them more women the first muslim women and the first native american women in the house. well there are twenty three state seats still to declare in the house but even without them the democrats have the majority with two hundred nineteen seats the republicans lost twenty six down to one hundred ninety three and the republicans have managed to gain ground in the senate beating back the so-called blue wave the democrats said hopeful on the thirty five were up for grabs in the opposite congress republicans managed to gain two and i'm now on fifty one with democrats winning forty five seats rubber
4:03 pm
analysts reports. the voters have spoken democrats will control the u.s. house of representatives thank you all for making the future that are. fair she was. hard for a share of the string of democratic victories began in suburban virginia where democrat jennifer webster and prevailed one of many women to claim victory you still have a lot of work to do you. think it wait till tomorrow so that. as had been widely predicted republicans retain control of the senate in the high profile texas senate race incumbent republican ted cruz narrowly defeated his democratic opponent representative beto roark this was an election about hope and about the future and the people of texas rendered a verdict that we want to future with more jobs and more security and more freedom
4:04 pm
. the takeover of the house is a rebuke to president donald trump who held dozens of rallies and explicitly made the midterms into a referendum on his leadership he campaigned furiously in the final days relentlessly stoking fear of a column of bedraggled migrants slowly making their way through mexico to the u.s. border if you want more caravans if you want my. more crime vote democrat tomorrow that may actually have hurt republican incumbents in more moderate suburban house districts because exit polling showed the most important issue to most voters was health care democrats campaigned heavily on preserving and shoring up the affordable care act turnout was extremely high for a midterm election long lines formed in states from coast to coast often extending blocks from polling stations in some places people waited for hours to cast their
4:05 pm
votes once they take office in january house democrats will certainly launch a series of investigations into trump has ties with russia his family's business dealings his taxes and other issues cabinet members and heads of federal agencies will likely be reeled about alleged ethical lapses the political dynamics in washington shifting under the president's feet robert oulds al-jazeera washington or a sling jordan joins us live now from capitol hill so roslyn now that the democrats have control of the house what might to accountability look like a chump. hear
4:06 pm
4:07 pm
4:08 pm
hear
4:09 pm
. other victory in the u.s. house of representatives will likely empower democrats to investigate the business dealings of donald trump and here's how the chinese government granted eighteen trademarks for companies linked to trump and his daughter ivanka and that raise questions of a potential conflict of interest house committees could decide as well to investigate russia's route to investigate the russian dealings the kremlin
4:10 pm
spokesman says ties with the us will not improve after the vote for the russians a democrat controlled house means an investigation into russian interference in the twenty six thousand election which will likely be reopened it was closed under republican leadership and finally for saudi arabia still reeling from the outrage caused by the murder of jamal khashoggi a democratic led house could mean obstacles for u.s. arms sales to the yard as well as for u.s. backing for the war in yemen germany's foreign minister says he hopes to work with those who've been newly elected. from our studio more than i expect the democrats use their newly gained power to influence white house policy you will see to what extent that has an impact we hope that this cooperation will be constructive and lead to constructive results in international politics will look to contact those who are newly elected. let's go live now to james space who is outside the white
4:11 pm
house so james. it's broadly thought that the president has more power when it comes to foreign policy so well the fact that his party doesn't control one house of congress really make a difference in his dealings with other countries. well i think it's possible it will because it means that now that one of the houses on capitol hill is not controlled by the republicans it's going to be very hard to for him to get legislation through so his domestic policies are going to be seriously could tail so it seems likely that he will put his attention towards foreign affairs the president himself has already been tweeting about the international reaction to what's happened as you are probably not surprised president trump is saying that this was a very big win under the pressure of a north and horrible leader he also in another tweet said he'd received so many
4:12 pm
congratulations including from foreign nations that were waiting me out and hoping on trade deals an indication that this pressure on trade with other countries to renegotiate trade deals is something that's going to continue for the next couple of years and that line that some asians may have been waiting me out and i think that is definitely true i think from speaking to diplomats here in washington and also at the u.n. in new york they always look very closely at the midterms but they were looking extremely closely this time about how the republicans would have prayer and what it would mean for the next presidential election in two years' time the president runs again because they believe there are many things of state including the whole idea of multilateralism because the trumpet ministration so far as we know friend about pulling out of the iran nuclear deal the paris climate deal and not big
4:13 pm
particularly friendly towards the united nations and we mentioned there the kremlin a spokesman dmitri peskov horribly already giving his weighing in on this saying that he doesn't think their relations with the the u.s. will improve much after this vote but the cynics among us would suggest that this is pretty much what russia wants they want to see continued division in the u.s. . well certainly you have division that is the results you have on the show record number of people turning out getting involved in the democratic process and showing just how divided and polarized this nation is but there is going to be fresh scrutiny on russia remember the special counsel robert malone we've forgotten about him for a bit and that's because during these periods of elections and the like there is another focus of attention but also the special counsel lows but he's not really supposed to say anything or do anything at a time when americans are voting remember he is expected to report reasonably soon
4:14 pm
and now of course with the house in democratic hands so they can sort of investigation subpoena power into the the russian allegations out of a shift the congressman on the house intelligence committee is going to the chairman of our committee and we think that will mean a lot more scrutiny of the u.s. russian relationship president trump is expected at the weekend in paris to have a brief meeting with vladimir putin the next at the latest in a series of meetings between those two men it's worth also telling you that the house investigating russia isn't the only thing they could be investigating clearly they could launch new investigations into saudi arabia for example because of the. fair they could also launch a bus to go to the president trumps business dealings they could even ask for his tax returns potentially. change ways life at the white house in washington. let's
4:15 pm
bring in their lire right in washington she is an assistant professor of public policy at the harvard kennedy school and is author of the loneliness of the black republican thanks very much for being with us so there are many democrats who are tell this is a big victory pointing to winning back to winning back the house of representatives but is this really. either the kind of slap in the face to donald trump that many of making up particularly given that his party has increased its majority in the senate and a lot of that rhetoric that he campaigned on that divisive rhetoric it worked in many of those races didn't. to some extent so first thanks for having me on you know donald trump is going to claim a victory no matter what he was clear about that before the midterm elections that said this is both a referendum on me and not a referendum on me if my people lose well it's not my fault so we know that donald trump is going to do and say what he wants to do and say in the press conference
4:16 pm
that he holds today will probably be something to that effect now for democrats it didn't turn out to be this huge massive blue wave it certainly was in a blue tsunami but it was something significant they took back the house which means now there is a wall there is a very significant wall in terms of what trump can and cannot do legislatively because we know that he needs the house in order to pass legislation which means that he's probably going to turn to executive order executed to be able to do anything and everything to do other things to consider one this tells us that yes donald trump still does have a path to victory in the twenty twenty alexion at the same time it tells us that areas that he won handily wisconsin michigan pennsylvania are actually up for grabs because we see that in gubernatorial races those were won by democrats so really we're kind of all over the place in this moment so what happens next then do you
4:17 pm
expect this divisiveness to continue. it's not only going to continue it's going to escalate part of what we're seeing is that the democrats won in many areas through these new kinds of coalitions between young people between minority voters between women voters between college educated voters whereas the demographics for surrounding the republican party seem to be shrinking so they are becoming older whiter more male and that is that is absolutely going to cause more friction and more division we know that the united states is already polarized the polarization is only going to increase. as we people see people retreat back to their winning winning corners both sides claiming victory so we know that the democrats are going to do everything within their power to put a stop to donald trump's agenda we know that republicans are going to do everything within their power to ensure that that agenda gets through and it's looking like
4:18 pm
it's going to be a pretty bitter nasty divisive fight for the next couple of years and what's interesting about these results as well is that it all happened while the u.s. economy is doing relatively well it's been it's been a fairly buoyant economy the last couple of years what does that tell us. about particularly the republicans the fact that they they weren't able to hold one house of congress even in a good economy. so the first thing that it tells us is that the county matters really we've known that for years there is no that for decades that it's the kind of me stupid that people will vote with their purses with their pockets with their pocketbooks if the economy is doing well except what we're seeing is that the economy is not enough that republicans towards the end of the midterm campaigns recognize that in many places that the economy either wasn't stable enough wasn't was inflexible nothin certain areas or that it wasn't enough to motivate their base
4:19 pm
to come out so we began to see this really hard push towards issues that the base cared about that was motivated to as the base such as kind of whipping up a frenzy around immigration so on the one hand it means that so long as the economy is strong is doing well we're going to see a number of people who are willing to overlook even the worst excesses of the president because they say you know my pocket my bank account are fine but on the other hand we have another cross-section of very powerful and strong and significant cross-section of of the poppy the american population that's going to say you know actually it doesn't matter what the president says and what he does in other arenas arenas like immigration like health care do matter more so than the economy so you know it's it's both a strength for the republican party and donald trump and it's also a glaring weakness. good to hear your thoughts on this thanks very much for being with us he writes we thank you for asking us. are plenty more ahead

small fishing boats like these are common here but they can't compete with fishing trawlers which often caused damage to the seabed and tend to over fish pressure cola fishing is illegal that's why it's in such high demand that catches a lot so they are making a fortune out of this and we make much less according to the united nations more than seventy five percent of the world's fish are exploited over exploited or significantly depleted some specious have over to been fish to commercial extinction many more are on the verge of the crying a few times of the state they are then manages to catch some bluefish that will be in the marmara sea until the end of this month but the captain says what we have on the fishing nets is all for what they used to get before two years ago a team of international ecologists and economists warn that just about all the species could die out by two thousand and forty eight if. current trends of
