reason the men's tournament ended ambition to make this the most sustainable tournament of all time count down to bands like this one happening all out of the day. the excitement is building for fans in the 32 nations who qualified and has even more so in the hey city. the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk. but little action is all about distract, create confusion to create smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically focused. busy oral industry was a made bank roller or opposition to clock back to campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing more to to have dealt with things? absolutely. on august eve, ah,

fine o'reilly isn't pitches on the eve of us. midterm elections, new pollings, suggest the republicans could win both the house and senate. ah, me back. this is al jazeera life london, also coming up, cries for help in italy, migrant trapped in limbo as authorities refused to allow them to come ashore. we are on the highway to climate tell with our foot steel on the accelerate touch climate change weights for no one un chief tells the cop $27.00 summit. we're losing the fight against the warming world and its light. so for hong kong is famous. neon signs we meet the campaign is fighting to keep the cities iconic, glow alive ah,

blue. we began to the united states where democrats and republicans are making last ditch appeals on the final day of campaigning before tuesdays crucial midterm elections. the vote could up and jo biden's presidency with poles suggesting a republican come back. the democrats faced losing control of both the house of representatives and the senate, which biden says, will make for it difficult to he is left on his term. the balance of power is expected to come down to key battleground states, pennsylvania, arizona, nevada, michigan, and wisconsin, along with georgia. this is a taste of what votes is there, how thinking i already voted in it, economy, security, national security, those types of things. well, i think inflation is family 1st and foremost for me, are women's rights is right there. i'm not too concerned about gun control, not too concerned about the 2nd amendment 1st. second, over all human rights are really important algebra t rights, abortion rights,

women's rights are probably the most important to me. equality, equality, equality, period, like it has to be equal months, every bad or a while. and fisher joins is now life in washington, dc. alan, we heard there are lots of people, hugely concerned about the economy and despite joe biden, coming out and saying that this is election, this election was all about defending democracy. is it really the bread and butter issues that are dominating this mid term? of both parties are going to try and hit that, that topics that they believe will generate enough support to get their bees out to vote. because that who is traditionally votes in the mid term elections, the base of the party. and so joe biden realizes that talking about the threat to democracy than really well for him. 2 years ago when he beat donald trump in the presidency. but in that time that he's been in office, we have seen inflation go up. we've seen the cost of gas go up. things are much harder for everyone. and so people want to hear how he is going to combat that

because in the words of what is a political clichy in america, people vote with their wallets. it's about the economy. stupid is what they said very famously by bill clinton. and so that's what it comes down to. so he can talk about the fact that democracy he can heart back to the decision made in the summer by the u. s. supreme court, which restricted abortion rights across america. but people are still going to vote with what will put more money in their pocket. and the republicans, this time round had been a lot more successful about talking about the economy. blaming inflation on joe biden, seeing the cost of petrol in your car, is more expensive because joe biden has done x and y, and that is what might lead them to win the house. and possibly when the senate, the house, all they need to do is flip 5 seats in the, the net gain of 5 seats. and they will be in control. and it seems the heading in that direction. the senate might be a bit tighter there,

but it's going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of places to decide exactly what happens there. and of course, ellen, this is also a very much a referendum on how biden's been doing 2 years from the last election and 2 years away from the next. well, joe biden will tell you that this isn't a referendum. this is a choice about very different views of america, and it's a message that does sometimes hit home. but the reality is more often than not people use the midterms as a way to slam the pers, than the white house. it's happened for the last 5 presidencies. every president takes a hit during mid terms. famously, barack obama lost so many seats. he came out and said that he was given a good show lacking meaning. he was really hammered by the voters. and that leads to a bit of movement, but here's the difficulty for joe biden. if he loses the house and loses the senate,

he also really loses any control he's got for pushing through legislation. yes, he can veto things, but he can't really push things through unless he gets bipartisan support. and if the majority for the republicans in the house in the senate is very tight, no one wants to be the one that puts the head above the parapet and say, yeah, i'll work with joe biden to help pass this. because that would be seen as a bad thing to do with the presidential election just 2 years away. they don't want to give him any political winds to make a much weaker when it comes to the presidential election in 2024. alan fisher live in washington dc. many thanks a republicans to put immigration as well as record high numbers of arrivals at the country. southern border into sharp focus. manuel rap along has more and how things look from the mexican frontier m r ha ha. record numbers of migrants on the u. s. southern border. it's one of the most politically charged issues being debated ahead of the u. s. mid term elections. ah, what critics say,

the politics playing out in the us are also having a significant impact on immigration policies across the border in mexico. luckily, the only left it's not only policy the entire migration situation. mexico depends largely on politics and actions from the united states. human rights observers say that strict border policies, along with a recent agreement between the u. s. and mexico to contain migration has led to a pile up of migrants in mexico. jenina ramos, a program coordinator for doctors without borders, says the resulting crisis has left and yos with limited resources in general, if seen humanitarian consequences of politics. and that's something that we shouldn't write because basic needs, primary, healthcare, mental health, shelter, foot, water shouldn't be linked. to a consequence of the fully things. though mexico city normally has the space to

accommodate large migrant groups. passing through the recent influx of migrants has overwhelmed the organizations that normally assist them. were inside mexico, cities largest migrant shelter in just the last few weeks. the migrant population here has search by more than 5 times the shelters capacity. to say it's overcrowded, would be an understatement, and the shelters organizers tell us that more people are arriving every day on the shelters. director, sister magna says her organization has been in crisis mode since last month after mexico agreed to accept more migrants being expelled from the u. s. and our veterans and i was calling the shelters on the verge of collapse, were short on water bathrooms. we don't even have enough food, while many in mexico speculate over how the upcoming us mid term elections will impact the worsening crisis. migrants are growing concerned that border policies will only become more strict that have been eligible to for me. many families of entity you ask that many other families have been to puerto to mexico and have been

sent back to the shower. that's what worries me. i mean, one thing policy experts on both sides of the border say, could provide some relief to the migrant crisis. is comprehensive immigration reform from the u. s. government. that reform, however, is largely seen as unlikely if the u. s. congress becomes more divided after the mid term elections. manuel apollo, al jazeera, mexico city, and a coverage of the results. the mid terms begins at a $100.00 g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the united states post reaction from a wide range of analysts. ah, italy's government is facing legal action from humanitarian organisation for refusing to accept migrants rescued at sea to foreign own ships or refusing to leave the sicilian port of katana with nearly 600 migrants who've been denied entry

until the decision is reversed. the government says those on board who are most the african are not vulnerable, but a group say it's a breach of human rights to any berkeley reports. they survived a harrowing sea crossing from africa, but they being refused entry into italy and i've been caught in a political stalemate. the italian government says they have to leave the ship's crew is refusing until everyone is allowed off. we will never leave the port as long as there's one person on board our vessel, which has the right for international protection, which has the right to reach safe land, to rescue ships, humanity won the g o. grants arrived in the sicilian port of catania on saturday, the total of $621.00 migrants only around $450.00, were allowed to stay. the italian government says they were not vulnerable and should be repatriated to germany and norway, which operate the ships that carried out the rescues. the right wing italian prime

minister, georgia maloney pledged a crackdown of migrants during her election campaign. those of all the humanity won and g o branch a feeling, the effects of that humanity carrying groups has started legal action against the italian government. there was a discrimination also in the the moment when the someone that go out over the ship, we don't know how we know how these, that selection was made. and we think that it was not as election based on that. and we did the right method, your monitoring organizations say that the italian government is clearly in breach of the united nations convention on human rights. and that they are confident of winning any legal battle. but that takes time and it still lead hundreds of migrants living and political no man's land. the critics of the government say it is playing political games and thousands more migrants and to italy under their own

means, or rescued by the italian coast guard. and though saved by foreign ships represent only a small percentage for the trauma. so those stranded on the ships can only get worse, which they have fear and nice and that they are pushed back into international waters, maybe even push back to libya. so all the memories come up on that journey, what they experienced. so people dying, so people aren't going missing in front of them. they don't want to go back to these places. 2 of the ships carrying a total of $327.00 rescued migrants a currently outside of italian territorial waters. after having been refused entry, as winter set, sin and seas become rougher. one thing is, certain, more migrants will need to be rescued. a more will die. sony berkeley al jazeera catania sicily un secretary general has warned the world is losing the fight against climate change address in the cop 27 summit and charm l shake and tony

guitars. describe climate change as the defining issue of our age, and that the crises of today's, such as ukraine and the cost of living crisis can't be used as an excuse to put climate action on the back burner. the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing greenhouse gas emissions. keep growing global temperatures. keep rising and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate scales irreversible. we are on the highway to climate tell, with our foot still on the accelerators. i got $27.00 more than $25.00 countries have agreed to hold each other accountable on a pledge to end deforestation by 2030, announcing billions of dollars to finance their effort. the group includes japan, pakistan, the united kingdom, but doesn't include brazil or the democratic republic of congo,

about it potentially getting worse. our daily life isn't a sort of totally struck by power cuts. it's not as a huge whole towns will neighborhoods are out for hours all in one piece. they are cycling these blackouts as much as they can for a few hours between different neighborhoods, even different streets. but just to give you one example, we were to a family wedding on saturday, a small party inside an apartment building and there was no power there. they just got on with it. and there is that sense of just getting on with it. a pretty positive public message or being put out there have stoicism and defiance. and also some of that messaging coming from the government today as well, are welcoming in new anti air missiles systems to defend the country from these very systematic attacks on the energy system are they're saying that has come in. there's also some talk in the defense intelligence system about russia potentially losing a lot of it's cruise missiles and not having

i would say cancel your eyes and reveal after so long she will have a laura but how happened? very soon and my credit bill was interest or euro and the only member it will make the 5 and reliable. and i know that question cuz they're upset. so it's not a cheese on a project. and we'll try to resend that our year. i guess don's former prime minister m ranken has called for more rallies to force the government into an early election. but some shopkeepers say con, whose party controls major provinces should stop fueling chaos and focus on repairing the economy. same as harvey has more from the hall. after

being voted out of office, m, ron hahn founded a protest movement. he branded a revolution and out of season reelection campaign. now in its 8th month, seemingly indifferent to people struggling with a broken economy, apparently unflinching in the face of devastating floods. and undeterred, even by attempted assassination. his popularity seems bulletproof, but his critics may be growing in number less seem soccer grew up on the streets. he's been painting signs for local businesses for decades. he can't hear or speak. but there is no mistaking what he thinks of the former prime minister. you don't need to understand sign language to know he is not a fan. con started out strong in politics, miss him says, but he's lost his way. there is no shortage of him. wrong con

a country working class, pakistani say they've been beaten down by visit politics. the poor are getting poorer and the mood on the street is leaders, political and military, don't care, putting themselves or their party before country. for the horse business owners, the numbers don't lie. the only path to lasting political success, they say, is the economy zane. but sir avi al jazeera la al bob fight as of a tank to somali military base and central ga, ga. good days after the region was captured by government forces last month, scores of people were killed in an attack in the capital, mogadishu, raising questions about the government's ability to deal with the armed grip. however, matessa reports, this is what's left of the education ministry in somalis, capital mogadishu, at least 120 people were killed last month when 2 car bombs exploded outside. i'll

we have seen that and more than 1000 kilometer acres of land has been so much a lot because of the community back up. but the attacks keep happening. some official say more coordination is needed between security forces to better protect civilians. in like a self which know my, we are always vigilant because we know an attack could happen anywhere, any time. that occasion ministry, and workers that were alerted as before, the blast occurred that the enemy kind advantage over us. we regret what happened and take full responsibility. the winner asha bob has killed tens of thousands of people since 2006. the group was to top of the government and implement its interpretation of islamic law. so manly say defeating asha bob. all need more cooperation from regional countries in east africa and the international community had matessa out. is there a top prisons official in the philippines has been charged with the murder of

prosperous. and when i started working as a neon sign maker, i foresaw that they would vanish wanna day. yeah, yeah, no flower can blossom for a 100 years. good times cannot last forever guide. some community groups estimate there were about $80000.00 neon signs around hong kong in the 19 seventy's. to day it's estimated only a few 100 on left. 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 the 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 endured 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 a lot of stories about hong kong city and hong kong people. academic brian clark has been recording neon signs since 2016. you could tell that a lovely arnold lie has been disappearing on without a trace route. i'll mark austin or leon. i was there. but on the day after they disappear, if no one tried to document it, our culture or racial cultural, we were disappearing to the few noon sign makers left many a now focusing on smaller products or installations for art exhibitions. confound you, i will try my best to make good me on silent bill i will on so people believe they deserve to be preserved on to the whole year. despite the challenges, woo says he will continue making signs as his father did before him. jessica washington out 0 hong kong.
