the choice between 2 very different versions of america. joe biden makes his final pitch to voters ahead of a crucial mid term election that threatens to derail his presidency. and donald trump campaigns for his republican allies as the party looks to seize control of congress. ah, con carry johnson. mrs. alex, is there a lot from dough? so coming up where in the swing state of arizona where inflation and high living costs are the biggest issues at the ballot box. we are on the highway to climate. tell you though, it foot steam on the accelerator. a dime warning from the un secretary general at the cop 27. that climate summit i'm preparing for regular blackouts, ukraine's president warns people more russian attacks on energy facilities.

we began in the united states where democrats and republicans are making last ditch appeals on the final day of campaigning before tuesdays crucial at mid term elections. the vote could append joe biden's presidency. polls suggesting a republican come back. democrats face leasing control of both houses of congress were present. joe biden has been at a rally in maryland. he assured virtues the country is heading in the right direction. remember the powers at your head? you're one of the res. why never been more optimistic about america's future? look, america's reasserting ourselves, leading the world, the 21st century. as i travel this country and the world, i see great nation. because i know we're a good people. we just, every member who were in a hell we are, we are the united states of america has nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we do it together, so boat, a former present,

donald trump is in a state of the higher where he claims republicans are going to do very well. it's countries good please. there's only one choice you in this bad this and you support the, the wine all of america. then you must absolutely months. oh, or the radical left crazy people the radical left. if you want to stop the destruction of our country and see the american dream that tomorrow you must vote republican in a giant grass. well, and fisher has been monitoring those final campaign, pushes from washington d. c. you get an idea of how much the democrats are struggling in that joe biden. and the last 2 days of the campaign has been in places that you would expect there to be a fairly sizeable democratic majority. so the fact that he's been in new york and

maryland suggests that he knows things aren't going well. and then political nerds wait for the university of virginia as big paul on the eve of elections. and we find out that they are suggesting that there's going to be a big win for the republicans in the house that they're probably going to have a net gain of $24.00 seats, which is at, at that the more a cataclysmic side of the predictions. for the democrats, and they're also suggesting that herschel walker will win his seat in georgia. the other seats will stay as the are. but if herschel walker winds in georgia, that will give the republicans a one seat majority in the senate. so very little good news for the democrats here, if there is one sliver of light there for them. it is that if the republicans win by about 24 seats, it means that the republican leadership can govern without the needs to really go

a cap in hand. to the people that would be regarded by some republicans and certainly by the democrats as the more extreme wing of the republican party. and so perhaps there is some movement for work with the working with the president and getting things done. but on the face of it, from the university of virginia, it looks as if to morrow could be a bad day for democrats, and in particular for joe biden and the white house, the just hours to go before midterm votes are counted at polls show that the economy is a top concern for people heading to the ballot box. romano's reports from the swing state of arizona, where many americans are struggling with rising inflation and high living cost. in tucson, arizona inflation has made father of to justin little's grocery shopping. a lot more complicated whenever we plan our meals, we usually go to unfortunate to the meet 1st to see what's on sale. and then it's kinda how to go from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at

that time. it depends on what you eat, your la puente, where you feel like you have no choice, but to go to the grocery store and curse. later, inflation is running at an annual rate of 8.2 percent nationwide. and even worse here in arizona where in some cities the rate is 13 percent. it's not just about food, especially with gas prices. it's, it's crazy. i used to fill out my tank with like 20 backs. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie betz, who lives on a fixed income is tightening his belt, dra, literally, when it comes to food, we're doing, all right, lose a little bit of weight. so that's a positive thing to look at. inflation is dominating the political landscape in the days leading up to election day with republican candidates, hammering their democratic opponents, claiming they are to blame for the price of food fuel and the cost of renting a home. polls consistently show that inflation and the state of the economy is the

number one concern of voters all across the country. the high cost of living is likely to be the issue that determines the outcome of the mid term elections. analysts say inflation worries are hurting democrats in swing states like arizona and the inflation nationally is a huge issue for voters. and if you're a senior citizen, living on a fixed income, watching your rent go up or watching your grocery bill go up watching your gas bill, go up that, that some of your definitely think about when you get your ballot, you fill it out. americans political future could hinge, at least in part on something as mundane as the price of peanut butter. rob reynolds al jazeera tucson, arizona, started nations secretary journal has warned that the world is losing a fight against climate change. addressing the cop 27 summit in shambles, shake hunting a terrace. described the climate change as the defining issue of our age and the crisis of to day, such as the war in ukraine and the rising cost of living can't be used as excuses

to good 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. you reversible. we are on a highway to climber. tell, without foot still on the accelerator. we're 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 efforts. the group includes japan, pakistan and the u. k. does not include brazil or the democratic republic of congo, both hold to vast areas of under threat. forrest's indigenous leaders have renewed calls for deforestation funding promised at the glasgow summit last year. yes,

yes he had done was as we tell him, which other there must be a gun on a day to day basis. it is the indigenous communities who experience it and in my case it's very bad. it is not early climate change. it is a change in structure which is affecting indigenous towns. in this case, we're talking of constant rain for which last year during the pandemic, flooded the amazon bracelet with all the rivers in the amazon basin earth afloat. on the other hand, you have droughts. so these are things that we experiencing every day give it needs . a government is being sued by monitoring organizations for rejecting migrants rescue that c, 2 foreign own ships are refusing to leave the city and port of companion with hundreds of migrants who been denied entry. and so the decision is reversed tony berkeley because they survived a harrowing c crossing from africa. but they been refused entry into italy and had been caught in a political stalemate. 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 one and your parents a feeling the effects of that. your mother, chair in groups has started legal action against the italian government. there was a discrimination also in the moment that when the someone go out over the sheep,

we don't know how we know how that selection was made. and we think that it was not as election based on that, and we did the right method humanitarian organizations say that the italian government is clearly in breach of the united nations convention on human rights 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, but the torment of those stranded on the ships can only get which they have feared that they are pushed back into international war. just maybe even push back to the be so all the memories come up on that journey,

what they experience. so people dying. so people going missing in front of them. they don't want to go back into these places as winter set soon and sees become rougher. one thing is, certain more migrants will need to be rescued, more will die. so new berkeley al jazeera catania sicily, a stella head on al jazeera fighting to keep the glow in hong kong. a form campaign is hoping to preserve the city's famous neon signs. ah hallo, something of a wintry mix across sir northwestern parts of the us through western canada. plenty a class sharing up here. nasty little weather system. wind storm did bring some problems into where british columbia i, which was the east,

the seaboard where we still got this disturbed weather, this cold front. that'll make his way through to the east that you can see. that's where the warmth is. but that warmth is getting pushed out of the way. 2324 celsius for new york and 40 say with down to 1340 maybe 15 degrees for tuesday afternoon. so you're gonna notice it freshening up, but at least a sun will be out. i can't say the same for western parts of the u. s. sun will be out in western canada on the cool side, 6 celsius in seattle, north of the border into canada minus 18 in calgary, crisp sunshine. i'm sure you'll a tree. we have got some wet weather, some wintry weather down across march of california, that western side of the u. s. t. the unsettled over the next couple of days. been unsettled across east to sort of a caribbean. and that dominique a, we had over 200 millimeters of brian and not too far away. instant lucia, there have been floods and land slides as some very heavy rain has made its way cross at east side of the caribbean, associated with this nasty area of low pressure. dry weather now started to come

then your what shall 0 amount of our top store is this, are you in the chief ontario, tara shows warned that the world is losing the battle against climate change. speaking at the club $27.00 conference in egypt, he told leaders that the planet is approaching tipping points that will lead to reversible damage. italy's government is being sued by humanitarian organizations for rejecting migrant rescues at c. 2 foreign own ships refusing to leave the sicilian tonia to all the migrants on board are allowed to disembark. the 3rd ship has, however, been given the go ahead, my internal forties to proceed. democrats and republicans are making last ditch appeals on the fund day of campaigning for tuesdays. crucial midterm elections vote could up and jo biden's presidency or suggesting a republican come back on the big issue on both his minds is immigration, specifically for mexico watches heroes. i don't rapidly reports on how things look

from the mexican side of border the 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. but critics say the politics playing out in the us are also having a significant impact on immigration policies across the border in mexico. and luckily, because 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 us 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 ngo's with limited resources in general, if seen humanitarian consequences of politics. and that's something that we shouldn't ride because basic needs, primary healthcare, mental health, health,

her foot water shouldn't be linked to a consequence of the fully things though mexico city normally has the space to accommodate large migrate 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 searched by more than 5 times the shelters capacity. to say it's overcrowded, would be an understatement, and the shelters organizers felt 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 medical center scholar, the shelter is on the verge of collapse and we're 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. anything. and i don't want to for me, many families of entity. you ask that many other families have been deported 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 is with anchor is a professor at george washington university. she says that immigration will be a key issue for latino voters. the whole conversation seems to focus on small things rather than some of these larger questions about politics that the country should be dealing with. to think about, you know, of large migrations across central and south america to the u. s. there was

a long standing expectation that people of color in the u. s. especially like nodes of all types from all backgrounds would generally vote democratic except for cubans in miami, who are traditional republican stronghold. what we're seeing now is that a lot of that is changing, and perhaps there's a sense in which that story was never really true in the 1st place. right. the people categorize this, latinos come from many different countries, many different religious backgrounds, and a lot of them, you know, their political opinions are not monolithic. and so i think what we're seeing now is a lot of latinos who are conservatives, who are voting republican and the democratic assumption that latinos will magically vote for them, is now not holding true. and they're going to have to fight a lot harder for the latino vote. i'm not sure they'll really be successful in this election. the 5 key ukraine companies have been nationalized for war time state needs. the

companies include a top engine maker and an energy company, presence modem, as landscape said, it was needed to ensure military requirements were met, ukraine's president, his warning of more russian attacks on energy facilities. he says people should be prepared for regular blackouts across the country. harry force reports not from keep people across ukraine or learning to cope with the situation, but daily life is becoming harder. a provinces the o blasts to the west, to the north, to the east. or there are 7 in total that are being hit by this, this major shortage in power. i'm and with the temperatures only going one way there in single figures during daytime. and it's getting colder by the day, by the week. it is getting more and more difficult in terms of, of what the messaging is. they are talking at least in terms of contingency planning, about possibility of pretty major evacuations. and they're not saying that that is

definite or even necessarily likely. but the fact that they are at least talking about it does suggest they are worried about it potentially getting worse. our daily life isn't a sort of totally struck by power. cuts is not as a huge hold, 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 of 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 are not having a huge amount left in the locker to carry on. these attacks are too much longer. the council here has held its 1st meeting of a group designed to promote human rights of no democracy within ben roost. representatives on the ricin opposition and the civil society groups met members of the council of europe in strasburg. the councils committee of administers has suspended relations with the recent leader, alexander lucas shanker. let's get sick news kaya is neither of the better roost. in the democratic movement, she ran again, starting out of the casino. the presidential election of 2020, which was widely seen as fraudulent before being forced to flee the country when the track down the opposition began. she explains why the contact group was formed . and the goal of this as a visual conference to be able to govern.

i think that you should think that the contra, you're not possible. and now the correct decision states, i would say couple european hiv and complex revealed after so long as she will have a moral reality. but how i hope it happens very soon. and my credit bill in the interest of your own member, it will make the fox and for the life. and i know that question cuz the reps, it's just such a cheese on a projector. and so that they are year a top prisons official in the philippines has been charged with the murder of a journalist. press about the bass that was shot and killed. now he's home in

manila on october. the 3rd, he had been a vocal critical, the bureau of corrections chief general and tad and other officials, accusing him of corruption and tackled actually pressured imprison gangly. this time gunman to tell me about that sort of things is one of the world's most dangerous countries for wanting to know more from manila, philippines standards, the investigation into the killing of broadcast during the 1st of on the bus, out better known as 1st. the last bill has been with the lawyers of my boss, a family say, but they are satisfied with the pace the banner and the result of the investigation marked he just over 2 weeks after the killing man turns 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 no hours after his confession, an inmate who believed to be one of the middle men in the transactions died in

prison. and for a thought of the revealed that there was no lee, but the 2nd independent 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 ma, bus us as well as the middleman inside 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. when you picture hong kong, you probably see a neon lights lining its streets. they used to be an estimated 80000 of them in 19

seventies. but now, when you few 100 are left in, the community groups are pushing to preserve hong kong famous glo. jessica washington recalls hong kong is known as one of the world's brightest cities, a reputation and due to the glow of its distinct neon life. somewhat crafted by this man, which he kind, he learned the trade as a teenager. case, i put on dialogue, eighty's and ninety's of 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 neon signs around hong kong. in the 1917 to day is estimated only a few 100 unless the government is removing old and oversight signs. it considers a threat to the public around the picky community groups have set up displays like

this showcasing some of the old me on the plans 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 a lot of stories about hong kong city and hong kong people. academic brian coke has been recording me on signs since 2016. you could tell that a lot of the on lie has been disappearing. we trace 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
