last minute campaigning in the u. s. on the eve of midterm elections that could shape the rest of jo biden's presidency. ah, i'm 0 venue, 8th grade to have you with us. this is al jazeera alive from dough. also coming up in the show, we are moving anywhere with crew members of migrant rescue ships docked in italy, refused to leave until all on board are allowed to get off a warning. it could get even darker. the threat of more power cuts the people across ukraine. we are on the highway to climb a tail. with our foot steel on the accelerator, the un secretary general warning the battle against climate change will be won or lost during this crucial decade. ah.

so across the u. s. voters and candidates are getting ready for crucial midterm elections on tuesday. monday is the last day of campaigning. both democrats and republicans are making their final pitches. right now, democrats have a very slim majority in the house of representatives and they control the senate only thanks to the vice president's tie, breaking vote, that all of that could change with these elections. polls suggest a republican victory. president biden has been campaigning on values, issues, rallying support for abortion rights, and accusing republicans of eroding american democracy. while former president donald trump, for has, for his part, stayed focused on the economy. and the rising inflation rate through days is most important election. and a lot of times is going to take shape in this country for decades become more or less inflection point. i mean 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 than anything else. by the far left load it takes away you are in your jobs, your safety, your values, and your freedom there. strangling florida, families hitting florida very hard with during 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 value at a level that makes our country unable to compete with other countries, especially in tourism. and then manufacturing. the balance of power will probably come down to the races in for battleground states. georgia, pennsylvania, arrazola, and wisconsin. the senate races in those states are some of the tightest in the country. and those will be the ones you want to watch on election night. out here as rob reynolds reports from tucson in the state of arizona and some of the

tightest races in weston, united states. 3 races here in the west could determine which party controls the us senate in arizona. mark kelley, the incumbent democratic senator, a former astronaut, is running against blake masters, a wealthy venture capitalist in colorado, sen michael bennett, a 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 raced of all is in nevada, where catherine cortez moscow. the 1st and only latino woman to serve in the us senate is a razor thin race against adam lac, solve 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. our white house correspondent,

kimberly how could join me live kimberly last day of campaigning. that means the last few hours for both sides to change undecided voters minds. that's right. and so closing arguments being delivered in the case of u. s. president joe biden, he will be delivering his closing arguments just north of here in the state of maryland. and one of the things he has been talking about recent days is how important it is to go to the polls. if you haven't already voted in the united states and 41000000 people have already cast ballots in early voting, saying that democracy is on the ballot. but that is an issue that doesn't seem to be resonating with most americans. they seem to be more interested in voting on issues with the economy and also record high inflation. that's why some of the polls seem to be favoring republicans in the last and final hours. it seems that and most polling shows that republicans have

a double digit lead in terms of capturing both the house and potentially the senate as well. and republics, republicans getting kind of a last minute endorsement as well from one of the world's wealthiest men on twitter . in fact, it is the twitter c, e o e line mask. he has put a pin tweet at the top of his feed. it reads to independent minded voters, shared power curves, the worst excesses of both parties. therefore, a recommend voting for a republican congress. given that the presidency is democratic, so i speaking there apparently 2 independent minded voters telling them how to. 8 vote in his view, it is for a republican congress. so this is the message from one of the world's wealthiest men. i think that many americans have already on their minds that they feel that it is the economic issues, according to most poles that seem to be the top of their minds when it comes to

casting their ballots. kimberly, if you are musk gets his wish and if the republicans take control of the congress, what would that mean then for the rest of biden's presidency it would spell doom for precedence biden's, legislative agenda. the president has a vastly different vision for the sort of legislative agenda than republicans do. joe biden has spent the last 2 years working on things like climate change, expanding the social safety net. he has put forward legislation to fix the crumbling infrastructure in the united states. much of that could either be left stagnant or could be completely undone. what republicans are already saying is if they capture the house and control of the house, that is, and it make gains in the senate that what they're hoping to do is very different. they want to tackle issues like what they see as a problem of rising crime in cities like san francisco and chicago and new york

city in washington, d. c. and they also want to tackle the issue of immigration, specifically what they see is a problem of illegal immigration, the southern board of the united states and mexico as well as the economy. so these are very different priorities. we'll see what the voters have to say is we're in the final hours now and soon we will have a better sense. but the polls again, not looking good for the precedence democratic party. i. kimberly thank you so much . gabriel elizondo now reports 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 ours, 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 better men and us 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. while our preview of the u. s. mid term starts in just 4 hours, that is $2100.00 gmc on monday, so you'll have to tune into that. we have an hour long, special on everything that's at stake in this boat. and our coverage on pulling day begins at $100.00 gmc on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the us bringing you all the reactions. and the results live as a stand off between italian officials and a rescue ship carrying hundreds of migrants and refugees. with a little bit so people on a vessel operated by doctors without borders or waiting for permission to disembark

in catania, the boat carrying 572 passengers. dr. earlier on monday, but authorities only allowed miners, families, and people with health issues to leave the boat and other rescue ship arrived in italy on saturday, humanity, one, it was allowed to darken catania true, but now has been ordered to leave the sicilian port. it's captain, however, refuses to go until everyone on board is allowed to leave, and he is threatening to go to court over this so far. 144 people including miners and people with health conditions have been let off the ship. dozens of single men, however, were refused permission to go ashore. tony berkeley as in catania. he says that this is the 1st stand of new italian prime minister, georgia maloney's crack down on migrants. somebody's got to back down in the end and you wonder who am the people i spoke as if from the ships the, the crew, the captain, they're all very adamant. they are not going anywhere until these people are allowed to disembark with all the others that went off on saturday. so they,

they're not prepared to move. they're gonna sit here and wait. as long as it takes, they'll have food, they'll have supplies and they have the will. but of course, you know, the migrants are on board. that's a different matter altogether because they're starting to get demoralized according to the captain and the crew members that they've come through trauma and the journey just to get here. some of them almost sank, almost lost their lives. and suddenly they thought they reached the promised land and would at least be treated in a cordial, civilized way. their feel now that the like prisoners on a ship is going nowhere there in political, no man's land. and at the moment there's no way out. somebody has to back down, but this is being the 1st stand of giorgio maloney's government and her stand, her promise to crack down on illegal migration m. it's. we have something like $85000.00 migrants have come to this country so far this year. and some people are tired of that. some people say they are not vulnerable, they don't need help. the italian government now says these people to be left on

board of hon. but that's open to dispute, according to the crew in the caps in here, because they say it's been very arbitrary the way it was selected. who was going to stay in, who was going to go somewhat. well, not even spoken to tony burton the reporting there and there are another 2 rescue ships in the area. the german run rise above is here. it's overcrowded with 93 people on a boat. it's only 25 meters long. as for the ocean viking, it is also anchored nearby. it's operated by the european charity, sri smitty delanie, and it's carrying $234.00 migrants. neither ship is received a response to repeated requests to dock. hope frances has spoken about this migrant crisis. he says, european union countries share this responsibility on the vinyl called the migrant must be welcomed, accompanied, promoted, and integrated. if you can't make these 4 steps, you're not doing a good job with migrant. 5, it's necessary to go as far as integration. and the 2nd thing, i say that every,

each government must agree on how many migrants it can receive. because otherwise, there are only 4 countries that receive migrants, cypress, greece, italy, and spain, which are those closest to the mediterranean, a caroline filament, is a project coordinator with doctors without borders. she's on board the rescue ship, the geo barents, and i spoke to her earlier and she explained what happened when the doctor at the port of catania. what happened is that the tele and household northeast came on board and they did a very pretty health take of all the people on board. and following the miners and children were allowed to do some bark, the women were allowed to do some bark. and the people who were judged by to help us to be in a help need were allowed to disembark. this week, 215 people on board, one of them who didn't urgently have to be medically to read it only a few hours later. so it is entirely unclear to us what is now expected of us. we

have come the search and rescue operations international maritime law. it's extremely clear that a search and rescue operation and when survivors of that rescue operation, all this embark in a place of safety, what is happening right now? it's entirely unacceptable and legal, and we will stay here and fight for the remaining 214 people to this embarked as they very much have the right to do. we were informed yesterday evening by some of the or heard that they consider that the search and rescue case is closed, which of course we can only say that that is incorrect. and as far as we are concerned, our cation is halfway, and it's not finished until everybody has met the ship. at the moment, we are creating a lot of health issues on board, despite the fact that this medical assessment was made. of course, the people who remain on board are extremely anxious. they are extremely exhausted . we are doing the panic effect. we are doing that having to restrain people from

jumping into water. people have jobs in the water as well. well, we are making an urgent, urgent case beyond the fact that the people's rights to the mark. there is also a medical urgency to get them all off because we will not be able to manage the situation with the people. we have the team we have on board with the medication we have on board ship, it's not a hospital, it's not designed to take care of people for such an extended period of time. a still head on al jazeera prisons, chief in the philippines, is charged with the murder of a journalist and supporting your players all the way argentinian football fans get ready to head to guitar for the world. come ah,

ah. but headlines on al jazeera, a rescue ship. the docked in sicily on sunday has been ordered to leave the italian ports of could tanya, but the captain has refused to do so until all refugees and migrants have disembarked. the u. s. is about a day away from its crucial mid term elections. president joe biden, and his breed assessor donald trump, have been rallying support for democratic and republican candidates, respectively. plus ukraine's president has warned of more russian attacks on energy facilities followed him years. lensky says cities need to be prepared for long running power outages. abortion is expected to be a major issue on voters mines in the midterms. after the u. s. supreme court struck

down a landmark ruling in june. i do show castro reports from grand rapids, michigan. this will be the 1st nationwide election since the u. s. supreme court ruled that the federal government no longer has to protect abortions, and that has made abortion a major issue. and here in michigan, it is directly on the ballot. should the state now step in to protect abortions? michigan voters happen after deciding yes or no. and these canvassers core from various abortion rights groups are knocking on doors to convince people to vote yes in the washing referendum. if the referendum fails, michigan could join the to does it in some states that have band or are moving to ban abortion? a 90 year old michigan law banning abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest is on the verge of making a come back here. anti abortion groups. hope that does happen, but these pro abortion canvassers say that would criminalize even miscarriage care . now why is michigan such a big deal?

well, this is a swing state. voters here are about evenly divided politically similar to the rest of the country. so how michigan voters feel about abortion can be viewed as a litmus test for the entire country. the un human rights council commission of inquiry on the occupied palestinian territory is holding the 1st 4 days of public hearings in geneva. the 1st day is focusing on the closure of several, palestinian human rights organizations accused of terrorism. in the following days, the commission will discuss alongside other issues, the killing of al jazeera journalist, sharina oakley, was shot in the head by his really forces while on assignment for l. 0 in the occupied west bank. earlier this year, a top prison official in the philippines has been charged with the murder of a journalist. first of all, my boss was shot and killed near his home in manila on october. the 3rd had been a vocal critic of the bureau of corrections chief geraldo on tongue and other officials, accusing them of corruption and tongue,
