i was recently into the deep south of the u. s. malls isis because spring monday brit petering out. still war by which was at eastern side of the u. s. very co. roberts was see a west though. and that cloud re state the snow across much of california. ah, ah, ah, with ah,

this is al jazeera ah flow, this is in use our on al jazeera, fully back to board life, or my headquarters in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. we're all known or bones that are democracies at risk. you need to vote every democrat out of offers with less than a day to go until the u. s. midterm elections campaigning, reaches fever pitch in the battleground states. we are moving anywhere with a stand off in the mediterranean crew members of migrant rescue ships allowed to dock in italy, refused to leave until all on board are allowed to disembark. also this, our prisons chief in the philippines is charge with the murder of a journalist. and campaigners in hong kong,

riley to save the city is famous neon signs. and i'm sorry, how much were the latest woke up news? plus the champions league draw has produced a repeat of last year's final for our madrid will take on liverpool. ah, thank you very much for joining as we begin this news hour in the united states way, voters and candidates are getting ready for crucial mid term elections on tuesday. monday is the last day of campaigning, and both democrats and republicans are making their final pitches right now. democrats have a slim majority in both houses of congress, but that could change with paul to just sing a republican come back. present biden has been campaigning on value issues, rallying support for abortion, white and accusing republicans of eroding american democracy. former president, donald trump, has stayed focused on the economy and the rising inflation rate. the 2 sides are

offering competing visions for america's future. today's his most important election in our lifetimes is going to take shape in this country for decades to come world laws inflection point. i'm in a sincerely where what's gonna happen the next couple years is going to have more to do with what this country looks like. 20 years from now, then anything else biden and the far left lunatics are waging war in your jobs, your safety, your values and your freedom. they're strangling florida families. they're hitting florida, very hard with soaring prices and devastating. what they're doing to tourism. if you think about a tourism and hospitality service industries with crippling inflation at a dollar, and nobody talks about this, that is valued a level that makes our country unable to compete with other countries, especially in tourism. and in manufacturing. while the balance of power will likely

come down to the races in fort battle, ground states, georgia, pennsylvania, arizona, and wisconsin. authentic contest window states as some of the titus in the country and will be the ones to watch on election nights. ok, there is gabriel elizondo reports now from pittsburgh. pennsylvania is one of the most politically divided states anywhere in america. consider the last 2 presidential elections in 2016. donald trump beat hillary clinton by less than one percentage point. and then in the last presidential election, joe biden beat trump by barely over one percentage point. now the senate race here shaping up to be very similar between 2 candidates that are polar opposites. on one side you have the democrat, john fedor, man who comes off and pitches himself as a man of the people. he almost never wears a shirt and tie dresses very casually. and speaks in very simple language,

often talking a lot about economic inequality. his opponent, the republican, met, met us, is a multi millionaire celebrity doctor who's been endorsed by trump. now what matters here are the voters of pennsylvania, and they seem like they can't decide on what issue means the most to them what's most important. some say it's crime and the abortion others say it's the economy and inflation. but almost all voters that we've spoken to here agree that they are exhausted and tired with a political infighting and ready for this mid term election to finally be over. now listen to this according to one of the latest polls, both betterment and ours are both tied at 46 percent in the polls. so tuesday night here could be a very long night in pennsylvania. as officials are expected to count more than 5000000 ballots. and it could come down to just a few 1000 that decide who wins the senate seat and in turn, what party,

the republican or democrat wins control of the us senate for bringing our white house correspondent, kimberly hockey. kimberly the candidates for making their final closing argument today. how does it look for present biden and the democratic party? well, we're looking at some of the latest numbers in terms of the polls that are coming out. one of the more reliable ones, a washington post newspaper pull does not look good for the president's democratic party. in fact, those numbers seem to indicate that the republicans have not just a narrow edge, but a growing edge in the double digits. now in terms of perhaps capturing a significant number of seats in the house of representatives for the congressional elections. as the president delivers his closing argument, he'll be doing that in the state of maryland, just north of washington, dc in the coming hours this evening. what we do know is that the top issue for most

americans seems to be the issue of inflation and also the issue of the economy. and that's where the republican party is scoring high. now the u. s. president has tried to make this an issue about democracy being on the ballot, but that does not seem to be a priority for most americans. in fact, what they say is that this is if a secondary issue or not registering at all. and that is a real problem for this president, going into this very critical vote. if the republicans kimberly take control of the congress as pulls of predicting, what does it mean full present by it really spells the end of his legislative agenda. this is a president that felt that there were a number of key issues that were at a tipping point. for example, climate change. the president felt that that climate change was essentially an existential threat and combating it was critical. and he felt that he had really

the mandate of young voters, for example. but young voters don't seem to be coming to the polls if you will already. there have been a record number of early ballots. cast some 41000000, but the enthusiasm gap seems to be showing, particularly among young people who tend to really resonate when it comes to this issue. and that is really what's a problem for this president. so issues of climate change of social security and other social safety net benefits. all of those issues are going to sort of go on the back burner if republicans are able to capture both the house and the senate and take control. currently right now, in the house of representatives, the upper chamber, the senate democrats, the president's party, that is in control. that really means the end of his legislative agenda, the priorities of the republic. if they're very different, we've already heard they'll be looking at issues like immigration, shutting down, immigration along the southern border with mexico, and really putting a focus and narrow lands on issues like crime that they feel are out of control in

the united states right now. kimberly hall kit live there from the white house. thank you very much. kimberly, and we'll have more analysis on the u. s. mid terms a little later on the use our and special comp rate on monday and tuesday on ology 0. be sure to tune in a 2100 hours g m t on monday for our preview of the us mid terms. we'll have an hour long special on what's at stake in this vote. and coverage on pulling day begins at one m g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the u. s. best reaction to the results from a wide range of economists as are into the world news. and there's a stand off between the italian officials and a rescue ship carrying migrants and refugees that was allowed to dock on sunday humanity. one has been ordered to leave the sicilian port of catania, but his captain has refused to do so until every one on board is allowed to disembark. so far, only a $144.00 people, including miners and people with health conditions have been led off the ship.

dozens of men were refused permission. meanwhile, crew members of another migrant rescue ship, the dark tink atanya early on monday, have also refused to leave. my grins on the vessel operated by doctors without borders were waiting for permission to disembark. a total of $572.00 people on board, the jail bearings and a wage. and flagship, with oldies only allowed only miners, families, and people with health issues to leave the ship. the rest were told to stay on board. now there are another 2 rescue ships in the area. the rise above which is german run is here. it's overcrowded with 93 people on board. a boat that's only 25 meters long. the ocean viking is anchored near by. it's operated by the european charity s o s medi tyranny and his carrying 234 migrants neither ship has received a response to repeated requests to dock. while joining us now from my fe in the

south of france is, is that the a lot? who's the director of operations at a so as mid johnny, thank you so much for being with us. what is the situation right now and board the ocean viking as you know it? good afternoon. ah, the situation is highly, highly concerning at that stage on the ocean biking you are, it's over crowded people out of beach. some people have been here for more than 2 weeks as a path through very strong winds and hot weather over the last 2 days, out of pain chuncy as high as you since a twenty's leading to, to a very high concerns at oliver, a falls estimated yields of disorder and the situation and both. who are the people who are on board and what sort of the physical condition are they in? is there enough food and enough water for them on board the ship?

we still have a few days ahead in terms of food and water, but those people are people that i've taken the decision to do a very dangerous journey over image around there. well richard in very precarious conditions by our chines, they are psychologically in a very complicated stage. now they are physically exhausted. we are the flu on border so people are are getting seek people need a. busy more attention and oh, definitely a, this is not a situation that should have lasted that long. and that says shouldn't not last anymore. are they women and children on board? it's in italy, there are a $62.00 my nurse currently on board out of the $230.00 fall survivors, o 14. and we men and so, and we, we even as

a some babies among so, so as of mine or some bold. and i don't know if you can imagine what it is to be under a very strong wind and weighs for so many days with the baby in your hand. unimaginable indeed, what has been ve, the response to your request to disembark. we have been addressing request resembles scenes, so 1st very 1st rescue on the 22nd of october. so, so far we have not been assigned a place of safety. we have repeated and repeated this request a falls or more than 2 weeks. now, we repeated each a fall to twice a day for the last few days because we consider that as the situation is not sustainable at all. and a so far we have not received any place of safety assigned to us in italy.

we've heard the new interior minister insist that countries whose flag the n g a run ships fly, must take the refugees and migraines in said. what is your reaction to that end? you know, in terms of your options, what, what are they right now? is there anywhere else you could go? oh, so 1st of all, no way i ah, as made an answer to that and saying that and they consider that they don't be a responsibility and that according to my time, low a, the nearest m r. c. c merits on risk to coordination center should actually deal with a situation of emergency and assign a place of safety because the rescue is not over until the diesel vacation is done . so since when we saw those people at sea and we started the rescue, we consider that the rescue is not done and must be done

a in the nearest place possible. so this is a response that has been given. this is what we stick to. we stick to the international law, we stick to the my it's, i'm low. we asked for, oh, a european states, a to take their responsibility and to a final solution for us not to be trucks into a political game. but to face use, you might your and situation and assign as soon as possible, a place of safety to the tool and, and such for survivals. oh ok. thank you so much. i hope your messages had loud and clear executive director of operations that i thought maybe danny, joining as far from my faith. thank you for your time. thank you for thank you for taking the time to really all messages or it's very bottom for us. thank you. very much, let's get an update now on that stand off in italy between italian officials and

a rescue ship which i was carrying migraines and refugees, which was allowed to duncan as he but not all passengers are allowed to leave the ship. let's bring him tony berkeley who is joining us from catania. what's the latest tony in the stand off? we'll h as absolutely nothing is moved. the italian authorities are refusing to budge. they say these people cannot disembark, and the captain of the s o s. humanity is refusing to leave until those people are about $250.00 people in total on 2 boats who've been refused permission to disembark. they arrived on saturday on 2 ships to refer the 2 ships outside of italy waters who were also being refused to permission now to bring them in and let them disembark, is now gone to a legal case with me now is a chill room and hovel who's basically the head of operations for a so as humanity, am till can i ask you, is a legal battle. now that's going to be dragged out. what will that do to the people

on the boat at the moment? or we see it from the day one as soon as they were not allowed to disembark or you could succeed the frustration and then yeah, not understanding the situation. we see these people being in fear of being pushed back into international waters by the italian government. they even fear of being pushed back to libya where they fled from into the horrible conditions they. they come from. so yeah, their situation has changed completely on boarded. silent people are not speaking. people are not eating well. it's just yeah, it's just in is us or for all of us of the italian government maintain, these people are not vulnerable. what do you say to that? ah, nobody really interviewed them in their own language. there was not interpreter. there was not even a mental health specialist, so i think they cannot really evaluate the situation completely. if they don't send these people, that was basically a medical doctor just looking at them and deciding their adults, they're not healthy or unhealthy enough to, to come in europe,

even though they would be. it's a, it's a shame because they have the right for, for protection, they have the address you, that's the and this is not legal to just keep them in declaring them not unhealthy . you're not going to the courts. what, what chance do you have a winning this case? i think we have high chances because this decree from the government, it's breaching international maritime law. it's reaching geneva convention and basically human rights. so we have, i hope that this will be suspended and then cancelled. if not, what do you want to see happen when you want other governments to, to get involved. you want, you know, more compassionate view about what's happening to these people. i think we want what we already asking for, it's in 6 years, we want a european union, which is taking care of this. so all you, you remember states need to take action. now they need to find a mechanism how to help italy in basically this in barking people on italian ground,

but then helping them with registration and also with location. and this needs to happen now for the longer future that this is us is not happening again. italian prime minister, georgia maloney came to power on a platform of being tough on migration. do you see that they're being used now as a skate good to go pull. yeah, i feel like this done now trying to strike on us to really show their strong power on this that we are now in this game, basically the victim of them trying this power on, on, on us. yeah, thank you very much. indeed. that's the situation moment. nothing is moving, nothing is seem to be moving and those people on board are going to have to stay there for the indefinite future. tony very much, tony. thank you for the update. tony berkeley live in catania. italy spent more head on the news hour, including millions of ukrainians. living in the dark presence lensky warned, people might need to leave key. if russia hates more power facilities. is what

we'll find out how italy is helping with not being at a well kept on his here with that. so he's ah, ukraine must sprays for more russian attacks on energy facilities and be prepared for persistent power blackouts across the country. that was the message from present, jeremy zalinski and his nightly address. on sunday one energy company says there was a 32 percent shortfall in power supplies nationwide. on monday for their outage. as i expected across 7 regents fell in love the leisure or period. as of this evening stabilization power outages continue in keys and 6 regions more than 4 and a half 1000000 consumers without electricity. most of them are now in cave and the cave region. it's really difficult to be live till aren't there as harry faucet and

keith harry, the blackouts, aren't just confined to key. tell us about what's happening in the capital and elsewhere in ukraine. as are these blackouts continue, they are getting a, just anecdotally here more frequent and longer. and it's not just here in kia. they're also, as you say, in 6 other regions, oral blasts, or some to the west, to the north, to the east of the capitol. and the power company saying about 30 percent or more of supply is being held back from the grid. and it doesn't mean that there is permanent power outage in any of these places, but that there are rolling blackouts to try to manage the situation. now we were speaking to the energy minister the other day saying that some of the, the, the sub stations which transmit the energy from power stations from hydro electric plants, they are being hit are also between nuclear plants and the rest of the system as well. so they're going to have to try to reduce some of the energy coming out of nuclear plants as well. it's an extremely complicated situation. and as you were

mentioning there, there have been a cause of people at least to start thinking about how they would get out of the capital, where they might go if they needed to. or there has been attempt, i think, to try to tamp some of this down from some of the are reporting on this over the weekend. some of the messaging, frankly, coming from the key of administration as well. about an, a complete evacuation of the capitol. but the mayor is saying that people at least need to think about whether they can find a relatives home somewhere else with reliable water and heating, should it come to that? so it is a very serious situation. as the temperature drip dips as the the winter approaches, some are positive news as far as the leadership here is concerned though, as the recent arrival of further anti air defense systems than they, sam system and the speedo system coming in from ukraine's allies, as they try to continue to defend against these strikes coming in from russia,

and also the, the message coming from the ukraine military intelligence is that they wonder whether russia is now starting to run out of some it's more expensive cruise missiles as well. harry, thank you for that. harry fawcett live in keys to the philippines. now where tom president prisons official has been charged with the murder of a journalists. first of om abbas o was shot and killed near his home in manila on october. the 3rd had been a vocal critic of the bureau of corrections. chief gerald montague and other officials accusing them of corruption. montague allegedly pressured in prison, gang leaders to hire a gunman to kill my boss up. the philippines is one of the world's most dangerous countries. fortran this barnaby. lo has more from manila or by philippine standards, the investigation into the killing of broadcast during the 1st of on the bus, better known as 1st. the lobby has been with the lawyers of my boss or family say that they are satisfied with the pace the banner and the result of the

investigation. march he just over 2 weeks after the killing manser ends up confessing. he was one of the gunmen, and he also claimed that the order came directly from the national deliberate prison or the national penitentiary. now, hours after his confession, an inmate who believed to be one of the middle men in the transactions died in prison. and a thought of the revealed that there was no lee, but the 2nd independence odyssey revealed that he died of a 6. and that's likely there was a plastic bag that was put over his head and that he died of suffocation. and that led 40 to a pool scale investigation is the criminal activities inside the national deliberate prison. and that led to the bathroom line of the killing. both kristie, my boss, us as well as the middleman. you say the national believe prison is the suspended chief of the corrections bureau,

gerald. but now they said that this is due to the pallet of the circumstances as well as motive. because my boss has been critical of general, but the general bundle of course denies these accusations. and if you think about hong kong, you're likely to picture the neon signs lining its streets in the 1900 seventy's and estimated 800000 of them lit up the city. but now only a few 100 are left and community groups are pushing to preserve hong kong, famous close. as jessica washington reports, hong kong is known as one of the world's greatest cities, a reputation earned due to the glow of its distinct neon life. somewhat crafted by this man, would she kind he learned the trade as a teenager case with hum dive or eighty's and ninety's or the golden age for me on like when the economy was prosperous. when i started working as a neon sign maker, i foresaw that they would vanish one day. you know, flower come,

blossom for 100 years. good times cannot last forever. some community groups estimate there were about $80000.00 c on signs around hong kong in the 1972 days estimated only a few 100 unless the government is removing old and oversized science, it considers a threat to the public around the city community groups have set up displays like this showcasing some of the old me on science that have been taken down in the hope that this part of hong kong identity won't be forgotten. some volunteers have been storing old, neon signs and learning to repair them to they have and do it like different kinds of like weather conditions in the streets for decades. 20 or 30 years easily. of course, they look like rough around the edges, but they are not rubbish. me like, by studying them very closely or broadly you could actually tell lots of stories about hong kong city and hong kong people academic brian clunk has been recording

me on signs since 2016. you could tell that a lot of the light has been disappearing. we've replaced with a mock austin leon. i was there, but that they, after they disappear, you know, one tried to document it's our culture, our regional culture will be disappearing to the few noon sign makers lived many a now focusing on smaller products or installations for artic submissions. i'm sorry, i will try my best to make good neon sign along so people believe they deserve to be preserved to the whole. despite the challenges, who says he will continue making signs as his father did before him. jessica washington al jazeera hung i time now for a check on the world, whether his edited fox carlo is so little bit unsettled across parts of the middle east at the moment as a fair amounts of cloud around you see these bands of cloud sliding across even

here in the gulf bits of cloud here, chance of a spot or 2 of ray, but nothing too much to speak of. the weather. weather would be further east turning wintery into afghanistan, somewhere to weather, to a little further north, around love, and pushing up into kia, just around the caucuses, some shabby rain coming for a notice around seeing some of those live chows as we go on through wedding stay temperatures here in doha, picking up to around 35 degrees celsius, essentially dry and settle across much of north africa. bit of a brisk wind though, up towards northern parts of egypt over the next couple of days. largely troy across much of north africa, one would expect, and tony dryer now in place to say through west africa, although coastal french is just catching a shower, or 2, those showers becoming more widespread across sea, tropical belts as they should do. they are sinking further further southward, pulling out moisture rock across zambia botswana, seeing some rather wet weather and looking very unsettled. we have got flood

warnings, enforcer calls parcels, that eastern side of south africa. we could see some nasty weather over the next couple of days that will gradually make his way further eastwards. still ahead on the news our at least 10 people are missing a day after building collapse because of the fire in iraq's capital. and we'll look at why some nicaraguans that connie municipal elections illegitimate a supporting their pay is all the way argentinian football fans get ready to head to cut off for the world. ah, talk to al justina. we also do believe that women of august that was somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the rural. i'm going to tell me what's going on and so money we

meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on algae, sierra. l t. l square is in the story cards of tripoli, the 19th century architecture in a state of neglect. but the city has the ability to law tourists, whether foreign only, but these experts, yet the authorities have done nothing to preserve the historic and monuments can bring life back to this place. tripoli is considered the 2nd most archaeologically important that he, proud of them look empire after the egyptian capital cairo. the montessori mosque is among some of the structures remaining from that here on remnants from other ears as well are found here. the triple is history is overshadowed by a turbulent recent path and a grim reality. ah ah,

ah. are you watching odyssey or alive from doha, with ne, fully back people, a reminder of our top stories on this news out in italy, a rescue ship that doctrine? cecily on sunday has been ordered to leave. the port of katana, for the captain has refused to do so until all refugees and migrants on board have disembarked. ukraine's president has warned of more russian attacks on energy facilities. brody means lensky says. cities need to be prepared for long running power outages. the u. s. c is about a day away from his crucial midterm elections present, joe biden, and his predecessor, donald trump, having body support for various candidates. on our, on the us mid term elections al jazeera is while brennan reports from tucson in the state of arizona. on some of the tightest races in the western united states. 3 races here in the west could determine which party controls the u. s. senate in

arizona, mark kelley, the incumbent democratic senator, a former astronaut, as running against blake masters, a wealthy venture capitalist in colorado, sen michael bennett, of democrat, is in a tight race against joe day. one of the few republicans who has distanced himself from former president donald trump, perhaps the tightest raised wall is in nevada, where catherine cortez mos though the 1st and only latino woman to serve in the u. s. senate is in a razor thin race against adam lacks all the member of a prominent political family in that state. millions and millions of dollars are being poured into these races. early voting has been heavy and the outcome may not be known for days or even weeks after election day. last week to jamie man was an associate professor of politics and government at george mason university. he's

joining us from arlington in virginia. thank you very much for being with us. so tell us 1st about how you think things are going to shape out in terms of the house and the senate. what. what are the early bell weathers to watch on tuesday? well, i think the most interesting early information will come from the state of rhode island, which is a very, very democratic state. but a guy named fung is running and is really in an open seat if he wins. it's going to be a very bad night for the democrats him as a couple of similar races in new york that we should see pretty early as well. if the new york governor loses a re election than the republicans are going to kick ass all across the nation. this is no time you think in 2022. so different to the others. well, in some ways, it's not because the pattern in american politics for the last many years back to 2002 is that the incumbent president loses seats on the mid term. and

ha, biden is, is, is by the numbers not doing well in approval. he's not a very charismatic president and inflation being what it is, the democrats should expect to get, shall act in terms of differences, what, what is different? is that since 2020, they have been several new laws that make it more difficult to vote, right? they are seen as obstacles in the way for voters, whether it's with absentee ballots, voter identification, what impact do you think this will have on things like turn out and ultimately the outcome of the races? well, i think it will reduce turn out, but at the same time you have groups like stacy brings group down in georgia and other left groups across the country that are trying to get those barriers over. come hi, and the surgeon you floating, which we saw in 20182020 is going to continue. that's one of the few bright lights

for the democrats. more important than the changing of the laws though, is about access is republicans have stopped early counting in a number of states. so we may not know for 2 or 3 days, some of the very important races. okay, so we may not know the results on tuesday night, but this is old. so the 1st national election since the january 6 wired since the attack on, on our congress on january 6. we'll, you know, we're seeing a number of election denies on, on ballads. do you think republicans will accept the results if it doesn't go their way? i don't think in specific races. you can expect republicans to accept loss. if you deny the 2020 election, which is one of the most stupid things you could possibly believe. then why would you accept the election results in your own race that you care so much about? and a number of them are like the woman running for governor and in arizona. have said,

i will accept the results if i win. that is not how democracy works. what do you think present biden? his role is in all this. it please do you think he's moving the needle in, in the local races where he's gotten involved and supporting candidates? i don't see much evidence of that and i see a lot of races where he's not welcome. he is charismatic. we challenged. he's never been exciting since about 1992. he was pretty exciting in 1988, but that's long gone. and so the democrats went with an old safe, white guy in 2020 who beat an old, crazy white guy and it worked. but it saddled them with a guy who just doesn't excite his immediate family. okay, interesting to talk to you and he, if asked about this. thank you so my shami, my professor of politics set at george mason university. we appreciate your time. thank you to be ready. now somalia says it has repelled an attack on
