indonesia, now what's going on in vladimir putin's mind right now? could this war go new player is being on that front team, the golden ticket to electro victory? can americans agree on any immigration policy? is there a middle ground between 0 tolerance and open border? the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. the latest news, as it breaks with pandemic restrictions being lifted for the 1st time. the streets were filled with tens of thousands of parts together with detail coverage. oh, whole cents a month here. bare 3. want to share disillusion, much with the politicians in general from around the world. everywhere you look, their young men carrying machine and then example of how this group recruit their soldiers. ah,

democrats and republicans in the us make the final touches to versus ahead of choose stays crucial midterm elections. ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera alive from doha. also coming up. we are on the highway to climate. tell we though it foot steam on the accelerator. a di, a climate warning from the un secretary general of the cop 27 summers. we're moving anyway with crew members of migrant rescue ships. doctor initially refused to leave until all on board are allowed to get off and tiring of the protests and pakistan. we hear from people who say former prime minister emron . com should give up his 5

we begin in the united states. we are democrats and republicans are making last ditch appeals on the final day of campaigning before tuesdays crucial midterm elections. the vote could up in jo biden's presidency with polls suggesting a republican come back. the democratic democrats faced at losing control of both houses of congress, cyril vania, has more on what's at stake, and how it all works. they're called mid terms because they come right in the middle of the president's 4 year term. here's what's at stake. all 435 seats in the house of representatives where the democrats currently hold only a tiny 8 seat majority. and $35.00 of the senate's $100.00 seats are right now the senate is evenly divided. so that means a change of control in just one seat could put the republicans in charge with all that voting across the country. the election really comes down to only

a few battleground states, only 10 of those 35 senate races or really competitive in the house. it's about 50 out of $435.00. a joe biden is not on any of these ballots yet. mid terms are traditionally seen as a test of the president strength. if his democratic party does poorly, than he could make it almost impossible for biden to get anything done over the next 2 years. also, congress isn't the only thing. americans are voting on. $36.00 of the 50 us states are also electing governors. that list includes places like florida, like georgia, wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona, and nevada, michigan, all of which will be important battle grounds in the next presidential election in 2024. and 27 states are electing their secretary of state. usually when we say that, i know we mean america's top diplomat, but not here at the state level, it means a completely different thing. it refers to the official who overseas administrative services, like professional licensing or registering corporations. and crucially,

in most states, the secretary of state is also in charge of elections. and that is suddenly more important than ever because of the elephant in the room. donald trump, more than $300.00 republicans were on the ballot at every level this mid term falsely believe that the 2020 presidential election was flawed. or they have repeated trumps claim without evidence that the election was stolen from him. bottom line, people who reject america's last presidential election could end up in charge of running the next one. and 2 years after voters gave joe biden, a chance and ousted trump, the election itself now appears to be on the ballot. and you could argue, so is the future of democracy in america. well, ellen fisher is monitoring tonight's final campaign pushes and joins us from washington, d. c. and now more than half of voters pulled suggested the economy. is the number

one concern, but will the call to defend democracy like democrats have been pushing, get people into giants, enough in the selection? or will it be those braden issues like the economy? will they dominate? it's all about riling up the base. that's where you're going to get most turn. now making sure that people who identifies democrats come out and vote, and there was identifies republicans do the same. how do you do that by hitting the messages that you know, resonate with them for the democrats? they are going to talk about democracy being on the, on the ballot because people are still shocked that donald trump was president. and also that at there was the events on capitol hill on january the 6th, 2021 at they're also going to talk about abortion and women's ret, productive rights. that being on the ballot to as for the republicans, they're going to hammer with a message that has been very successful. they're talking about inflation and the cost of living. because everyone's notice how much more expensive things are in the last year since the country has come out of the corporate crisis. they're also

going to talk about immigration because that scores well with republicans as well. what both parties are trying to do as well, though, as resonate with those voters who don't always vote in the mid terms. they are mainly described as suburban moms and white women. can the, the democrats make the point, the abortion is very clearly on the line. at do the republicans make the point? isn't it harder to feed your family? no, because job biden's been there. that's what the closing messages are all about. at the moment, the opinion polls suggest that the republicans are doing enough to win the house. well, they get the senate that's going to come down to a small number of votes in a small number of places. and this, of course, as a referendum on how joe biden is doing 2 years since the last election and 2 years away from the next presidential one. he has plenty on the line. he doesn't he well, he's trying to build a legacy. and he said that not everything would get done immediately. now when he

had the house and the senate, he managed to push through some significant legislation, including the american, a recovery act from the corporate crisis. he managed to do something about infrastructure with the help of a handful of, of republicans. he managed at 222 address climate change. and there's more he wants to do. but he can only do that if he's got the house in the senate, and it looks as if he might not have this at the house. and if he gets if he loses this and it is well, it becomes incredibly difficult to push things through. essentially, the republicans are the driving seat for legislation and they'll be things there that joe biden doesn't like, and sure he can veto some of them, but not all of them. and that means that his, if he loses both the house and the senate, his presidency is shrunken and it becomes much more difficult to do anything. because republicans want to give him a hand with a presidential election just 2 years away. they want to make sure he's looked at as

a loser, as a president. and so they don't want to give him any sort of advantage, any sort of benefit as at all. so he will be watching the results very carefully, hoping that if they do lose the house, at least they hold on to the senate and that gives them a chance of working with some republicans to try and get something done in the final 2 years. plenty on the line. thank you so much. that's ellen fisher for us in washington, dc. we're us support for ukraine and the war against russia will depend on who controls congress. senior republicans have hinted, they may reduce aid for cave. that's left many worried as harry force reports from the ukrainian capital. there's been some good news in the last few days as far as the training leadership is concerned, when it comes to us military aid after the visit here to keep on friday, the u. s. national security adviser, there was an announcement of another $400000000.00 worth of u. s. military aid to ukraine. some of that going to pay for half of $90.00 check

tanks that are going to be modernized and sent to the ukranian military. that's going to bring to $19800000000.00. the total amount and present to landscape has over the we can been talking about further reinforcements in the pipeline, the cranes and defenses as well. but there is some concern here in cave about what might happen after the u. s. midterm elections on tuesday. one prominent comp supporter, representative marjorie taylor green, saying that if republicans will not election, there should be not another penny sent to you. crane the leader of the house republican saying that they should not be a blank check. the ukraine i the older he later clarified that saying that was about oversight. not withdrawing aid altogether and the bite and ministration according to a report in the washington post has privately been asking presidents lensky to show some kind of signal of willingness towards negotiation with russia. not so much because they want those negotiations to start, but they're worried that the alliance that western countries might be showing some

signs of ukraine fatigue. and they want to stop that from happening. people here wondering if there'll be any signs of ukraine fatigue within us politics after tuesday's elections. but teresa felon is the director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies. she says the results of the election could turn into an existential issue for ukraine. europe is watching this so closely in addition to president putin in moscow and president zalinski and kia. this is an existential issue for ukraine. so i, i would suggest that there is kind of growing fatigue in some areas of europe depending on the country. and i think that the u. s. is carry the burden quite heavily that president biting does have key funds and has been very careful in the way that this has been given to ukraine. i think you came is really motivated because they understand the election cycle within the us. and so they have been really pushing very hard to make us successes because americans like winters if

they look like they're losing, they're not going to get support from them. so i think that the ukrainians have been fighting and very highly motivated. i think that the russians, it has been proven that you know, they're not doing so well. but if they are pushed early to the negotiation table, the big fear here in europe is that russell will then regroup, hold on to their gains, and then attack your paint several years down the road. so i think we really have to push hard to get a settlement in ukraine that does not give russia another chance to re arm and then re conquer. and del coverage on pulling day begins at o one hundred's g m til wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the u. s. plus reaction to the results from a wide range of analysts. but to other news, and the un secretary general has warned, the world is losing the fight against climate change. addressing the cult 27 summit and shamela shag antonio, good cherish. it describes climate change as the defining issue of our age and that
