ah. hello. and welcome would be good in the united states, where in just a few hours polling stations will open for the crucial midterm elections. tens of millions of people have already cast their ballots in early voting. democrats and republicans have been making last ditch campaign appeals in battle ground states, if republicans managed to reclaim control of both houses of congress, it could d rail jo biden's agenda. speak out of rally in maryland. the president told vote is america is heading in the right direction. remember the powers in your head? you're one of the res laurie never been more optimistic about america's future. look, a merc is reassured in ourselves, leading the world the 21st century. as i travel this country around the world, i see great nation because i know we're a good people. we just have, remember who were in the 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. meanwhile, former president donald trump has promised to make a big announcement on november. 15th trump has hinted at running for the presidency again in 2024, but as yet to officially confirm his candidacy. he's been campaigning in ohio countries. countries is only one choice, 2 in the span of this and you support the decline all of america. then you must absolutely most. oh or the radical left crazy people, veronica. and if you want to stop the destruction of our country and see the american dream and tomorrow you must vote. republican in a giant graph, alan fish has been monitoring those final campaign pushes from washington dc. you
10:04 am
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. he 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 her, she'll walk her winds in georgia that will give the republicans a one seat majority in the senate. so very little good news for the democrats here,
10:05 am
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. while the mentor that usually does mean a shift on power jeering and presidents. tam sylvania has more and what's at stake and how it will all lack. 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
10:06 am
house of representatives where the democrats currently hold only a tiny 8 seat majority. and $35.00 of the said it'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. joe biden is not on any of these ballots. yet. midterms are traditionally seen as a test of the president strength if his democratic party does poorly, than it 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 u. s. states are also electing governors. that list includes places like florida,
10:07 am
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 and more than $300.00 republicans were on the ballot at every level this midterm, 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
10:08 am
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 ballots. and you could argue, so is the future of democracy in america. one of the most closely watched races will be in georgia, republicans in the traditional conservative state with some 2 years ago when they lost that to senate seats. now the state is back in the national spotlight. my counter reports from savannah. the african americans are the fastest growing boating block in georgia. now nearly 40 percent of the states electorate. that's an increase of some 7 percent into decades. the other minority communities are growing as well, and the shifting demographics had much to do with the traditionally red state, turning blue the and people like past the andre osborne, a working to build on 20 twenty's games. having the right type of energy
10:09 am
in an election, that's not a presidential election is incredibly important. so we're trying to encourage people to vote every time, but voting regulations have changed significantly since 2020, stung by their losses. the republicans governing the state passed the senate bull 2 o 2, which among other restrictions requires voters to provide a picture id at the polling place. there is certainly of movement to limit or drastically reduce the voice of the people by minimizing the impact of their vote. but the new law also expands early voting, which may have a result the framers didn't intend. it really depends on how the voters decide to turn out this year. do they decide to vote absentee? in that case, the law would restrict them. if they decide to come out and vote in person and do
10:10 am
early voting, the law may actually help them and be on their side. the crucial senate race sees the incumbent democrat, raphael warnock up against the trump endorsed former american football star, herschel walker, whose campaign has been marked by allegations of domestic violence. and the claim that the anti abortion advocate actually paid for a partners abortion. i think every boat with her to get because a lot against mind it not like they didn't want somebody to let the main thing is to defeat republicans and keep them out of power. ultimately, the result will be determined by the size of the 2 and knocked at the poles. the larger the boat, the greater the possibility of a democratic party when the reality is simple. if the democrats do not win in georgia, they will, in all likelihood, lose control of the house, end of the senate. and that will be an onset to republican pres. my kind of,

i'll just 0 so that humanitarian organizations are suing italy's government for rejecting migrants. rescued at c to for known ships are refusing to leave the silly imports of tanya with hundreds of refugees who have been denied entry. 3 people jumped into the woods in desperation, but were pulled to safety. meanwhile, a 3rd ship, which has been at sea for several days, has now docked in italy, 20 ports. they survived a harrowing sea crossing from africa, but they've 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,
10:12 am
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 humana cherry in groups has started legal action against the italian government. there was a discrimination also in the moment when 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,
10:13 am
humanitarian 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 leads hundreds of migrants living and a political no man's land. critics of the government say it is playing political games and thousands more migrants and italy under their own means or are rescued by the italian coast guard. and those save by foreign ships represent only a small percentage for the trauma, for those stranded on the ships can only get worse, which they have fear and now ice. 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 are going missing in front of them. they don't want to go back to these places as winter sat, seen and seized, become rougher. one thing is, certain more migrants will need to be rescued,

u. s. support for ukraine in the war against russia could depend on who controls congress. senior republicans have hinted, they may reduce aid that was left many worried. as harry forced reports from keith has been some good news in the last few days as far as the cranium. leadership is concerned when it comes to us military aid after the visit here to keep on friday, the us national security advisor. 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 the landscape has over the weekend. been talking about further reinforcements in the pipeline, the cranes air 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,
10:19 am
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 administration, 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. all american elections affect people all around the world. and one of the most important political relationships is the one between the us and china. ties have been tense in recent years during both the moment democratic democratic republican administrations. we all patrick falcon

basing how chinese leaders view the vote. one area where republicans and democrats are very much aligned on is on china birts. and let's say beijing is wary of a republican controlled house because republicans are likely to take a harder stance and push the white house in areas which will intensify already strained relations. most notably on sy, one and according to asia policy experts like sean king of park strategies. it's all to do with how would all look in the race to the white house. even though buying in is pretty much with republicans on the core of time when issues, when stylistic things like this, they may want to embarrass them just to make the republican n 8 look tougher than he is on anything to do with china. and let us come also as tensions arising on the korean peninsula and south korea is looking to washington for support against his hostile neighbor. but a strong republican showing could impact america's military support to the region. because it could take a more isolationist approach to foreign affairs. one other thing that may be
10:21 am
brought into question depending on the results of the midterms, is the fate of the indo pacific economic framework. it may not be a trade pack like the trans pacific partnership, which includes the likes of australia, japan, malaysia, and singapore. remember, president trump pulled out of the t p p just days after taking office, but republicans are far less likely to show interest in supporting president biden's regional partnership agreement. and international air show is underway in the southern chinese city as you high pilots from the chinese air force showcasing their scales and unmanned combat air strikes and long range fighting or then 740 companies for more than 40 countries are participating, including the u. s. saudi arabia and france, the democratic republic of congo has deployed 2 fine to jets to counter attacks by

10:25 am
that thought. and they were many of the fighters worrying thompson, uganda, but they've researched, i guess now starting from those same border areas. you next, and others, they simply were wanting to send weapons and its own soldiers to support them from the border. and over the last year, they've been attacking connelly's army positions and making steady advances. now, the congress army, at this point seems to have not been as strong as it was this time 9 or 10 years ago when it defeated and 23. and there's also been less movement from the international community on this crisis in the was a lot time with few un permanent members willing to come out and say that this is aggression on the part of neighboring rwanda. ruined to deny that the congress government is frustrated that the international community has been relatively quiet on this. although i'm actually bring, couldn't us secretary of state has said on
