the choice between 2 very different versions of america, joe biden makes his final pitch to voters ahead of a crucial mid term election threatens to derail his presidency. and donald trump campaigns for his republican allies as a party looks to seize control of congress. ah, i'm carry johnston. this is out to sara law from do also coming up. we are on the highway to climate tell without food steel on the accelerators. a di warning from the un secretary general at the cop 27th climate summit. and preparing for regular blackouts, ukraine's precedence warns people russian attacks on energy facilities. ah, we begin in the united states where democrats and republicans are making last ditch

appeals on the final knox of campaigning for tuesdays crucial midterm elections. the vote could append jo biden's presidency if republicans managed to reclaim the control of both houses of congress. i sent joe biden has been after rally in maryland. his shows votes as the country is heading in the right direction. remember the powers in your head? you're one of the res. why never been more optimistic about america's future? look, america's reassuring 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 went to 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, former president donald trump has promised to make a big announcement on that november 15th trump has strongly hinted that another run

for the presidency in 2024, but has yet to officially confirm his candidacy. he's been campaigning in the state of ohio. it's countries going please. there's only one choice do in his medicine. you support the decline all of america. then you must. absolutely. oh, or the radical left crazy people, the rabbit. and if you want to stop the destruction or a country and see the american dream that tomorrow you must vote republican in a giant grass. but in fisher has been monitoring those final campaign pushes from washington dc. you get an idea of how much the democrats are struggling in that joe biden. in 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 wins 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 need 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. and you just hours to go before midterm votes are counted. the polls show that the economies talk concerns that people heading to the ballot box. romano's reports from the swing state of arizona. many americans are struggling to cope with rising inflation. 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, go to the meet 1st to see what's on sale, and then it's gonna have to go from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at times, depends on what you read in the point where you feel like you have no choice but to

go to the grocery store and her slater 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 as to for my tank with like 20 backs. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie bets who lives on a fixed income is tightening his belt, dra, literally, when it comes to food, we're doing our right, losing 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 and 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 of news. now, united nations 2nd journal has warned that the world is losing a fight against climate change. addressing the cop 27 summit in at shemelle shake until younger terrorist described climate change as the defining issue of our age. that the crises of to day, such as the worn ukraine and the rising cost of living can't be used as excuses 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. you reversible, we are on the highway to climate. tell we though it foot still on the accelerators . more than $25.00 countries have agreed to hold each other accountable on a pledge to end at deforestation by 2030 announcing billions of dollars to finance their efforts. the group includes japan, pakistan on the u. k. but does not include brazil or the democratic republic of condo, both home to vast areas of under threat forest, indigenous leaders. i renewed calls for funding promised that the glasgow summit last year this year saved mosquito, which other them as they're coming on

a day to day basis. it is the indigenous communities who experience it. and in my case, it's very bad grant. 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, which last year during the pandemic, flooded the amazon bracelet with all the rivers them amazon basin or float. on the other hand, you have droughts, so these are things that we experiencing every day. he has ent of italy, his government is being sued by humanitarian organizations for rejecting migrants. rescued at c, 2 foreign own ships are refusing to leave the sicilian port of catania with hundreds of migrants who have been denied entry until the decision is reversed. a 3rd ship, which has been at sea for several days, has however, been given to the go ahead by telling authorities to proceed to port 10 berkeley reports. they survived a harrowing, c crossing from africa. but they been refused entry into italy and had been caught in a political stalemate. the italian government says they have to leave the ship's crew

is refusing until every one 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, and geo parents arrived in the sicilian port of catania on saturday. the total of $621.00 migrants only round $450.00, were allowed to stay. the talent 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 are both the humanity, one and your parents a feeling the effects of that. you monitoring groups has started legal action against the italian government. there was a discrimination also in the moment when someone go out over the

ship, we don't know how we know how that selection was made. and we think that it was not as election baited on that. and we do that that 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 leaves hundreds of migrants living and political no man's land. the critics of the government said is playing political games and thousands more migrants and italy under their own means, or, 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 fear and that they are pushed back into international war. just maybe even push back to

the be us. 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 to these places as winter sat, seen and sees become rougher. one thing is, certain more migrants will need to be rescued. a more will die. sony, berkeley, al jazeera, catania sicily cilla, head heron al jazeera. the debate over abortion access is dividing. vote is in michigan here from people on both sides of the issue. fighting to keep the glow in hong kong, we hear from campaign is hoping to preserve the cities famous neon signs. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with my cattle aways.

seeing some rather wet weather and looking very unsettled. we have got fat warnings in force across parts of 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 to with sponsored by cattle. and i was jumping to the street when no topic is off the table. i don't think that anybody should be borne to privilege to the president of the day. we are the subjects of the royal family, plus one person's opinion, but what shirt, amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption where a global audience becomes a global community. the scariest part of those moment in my country is this toys for a more weapon. the stream. oh now j 0 ah

congress. abortion has always been a controversial issue in most u. s. selections and these midterms are no different. but this year, emotions are especially rule of the supreme court, struck down the federal protections for the procedure in june. now it's up to individual states to decide whether to allow abortions, voters in michigan are getting a chance to have this say on the issue. or the jo customer has more from the state capital alonza. we want, oh abortions are at the moment, legal in michigan, but the women in this room including the president of the country's largest abortion provider, fear that soon could change how much. oh, are there trying to take us back? a 1931 michigan law had banned nearly all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest. now that law could return this oh,

i'll re just dangerous and cruel law. it basically means that um, health care in michigan becomes criminalized that women can be prosecuted for having an abortion for having a miscarriage. if they have stillbirth, that's where michigan's proposal 3 comes in. it puts the question of whether abortions should be protected in michigan directly to the voters. signs are everywhere. bo, yes. to support abortion. access no to oppose it. both sides have been campaigning hard. we're out here the theme. i'm in support a proposal 3 this father and daughter do oh, have been knocking on doors to convince voters that abortions should be protected after learning what the campaign was, she said should support it. there is a reason why michigan is at the center of the abortion debate raging across the country. voters here are about evenly divided politically, a close reflection of the entire nation. and that is lawmakers of both parties from

lansing to washington, a chance to learn what the average american voter thinks about abortion and then to adjust their political strategies accordingly. republicans have long benefited from christian conservatives who support the parties. anti abortion platform. the priest at the church of the resurrection in lansing, michigan, told parishioners v routing for abortion access would be a sin. should you vote for proposal 3? you need to repent and go to confession. abortion is murder when you're taking a human life. you're murdering that life, but polls show the pro abortion side, leading by a significant margin in michigan. the fact that we might not be able to control what happens with our own bodies that we don't have that choice is wrong. whether that passion translates to votes remains to be seen heidi joe castro,

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 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 are not having a huge amount left in the locker to carry on. these attacks are too much longer at least 10 people are still missing in iraq. her day after building caught fire and collapsed rescue, cruise, se the cause of the blaze is not clear. iraq's civil defense director and several firefighters are among the injured flammable materials, such as perfume were reportedly stored on the property. my food of the law had, has more from baghdad on the recovery efforts. civil defense operations continue to try to put out the fire here and this multi story commercial building in our city,
