11:01 am
americans are set to vice in mid term elections that could shape the rest of joe barton's 1st term in office to charge betrayed, cure for different bridges, america. we're going to take back the house. we're going to take back the said it final pitches devices in so called swing states as democrats, risk losing control of congress. ah, i money insides is out there life and death. oh, so coming up, i'm malcolm web at a camp for displaced people near goma in the democratic republic of congo. tens of thousands of people have arrived here in the last week or so, playing violence, fighting between the n 23 rebel group and government forces. and we saved garrath bail can help wales make an impact of that fast? well, cap since 19. ah,
11:02 am
we begin in the united states where just in a few hours polling stations will open the crucial midterm elections. tens of millions of people have already caused their ballots in early voting. democrats and republicans have been making last ditch campaign appeals in battle. ground states, not if republicans managed to reclaim control of both houses congress, it could derail j. biden's agenda. speaking out of rally in maryland, the president told voters, america is heading in the right direction. remember the powers of your head? no one of the res lord member, but more optimistic about america's future. look, america's reassured in ourselves, leading the world, the 21st century law, travel this country around the world. i see great nation because i know we're a good people. we just have to remember who were not, how we are,
11:03 am
we are the united states of america has nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together. so vote. meanwhile, former president donald trump has promised to make a big announcement on november 15th trumpet, hinted at running for the presidency again in 2024 as yet to fish li, confirm his candidacy. he's been campaigning in a higher country is good. there's only one joy. you still win this bad news and you support the the twine all of america. then you must absolutely most. oh for the radical left crazy people, veronica. and if you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the american dream, the tomorrow you was to vote republican in a giant grass and fish has been monitoring these final
11:04 am
campaign pushes from washington dc. 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,
11:05 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 or the midterm. that usually means a shift in power during a president's tam. sylvania has more what's at stake and how at all wax? they're called mid terms because they come right in the middle of the president's 4
11:06 am
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. 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 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,
11:07 am
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 believed 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
11:08 am
running the next one a 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 as the future of democracy in america. but one of the most closely watched races will be in georgia. republicans in the traditional conservative state, was down 2 years ago when they lost that 2 senate fees. now the states, back in the national spotlight, my kind of 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 and 2 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 pasta andre osborne, a working to build on 20 twenty's games. having the right type of energy
11:09 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 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 you
11:10 am
early voting, the law may actually help them and be on their side. the crucial senate race sees the incumbent democrat, rafael 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 pot. miss abortion. i think every, both the, her figure is of war against minded by not like in there. there is more somebody to, let's see. the main thing is to defeat republicans and keep them out of power. ultimately, the result will be determined by the size of the turn off at the polls. 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 and of the senate. and that will be an answer to
11:11 am
republican pres my cannot al jazeera, so that the democratic republic of congo has deployed to fighter jets to counter attacks by m. 23 rebels who launch renewed attacks and october. the plains took off on monday as more than 3000 new military recruit, started training in the eastern city of coma ronda as a keys, its neighbor of provocation, saying that one of the jets crossed into its air space and landed briefly. the congolese government says round a supports the rebels allegations want and officials have denied. but web has more from a displaced persons camp near from. we just north of the regional capital of gamer, new tens of thousands of people here who ra arrived in the last week or so. they came further to the north where the n 23 rebel group, which is widely seen to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda. made advances in recent weeks. we just spoke to one
11:12 am
young man who said m 23 forcibly recruiting young men to try and bulk up their numbers. that's why he fled there. he said his wife and children is still stuck there, but people here know am 23 from when they took control of slaves of territory around here. 10 years ago, they have a record of executing and torturing civilians. greatly feared as the on groups that have been back by rwanda here over the last 26 to 990 when reminder and gotten the 1st invaded eastern congo. so as soon as the fighting gets close, people tend to take up all of their possessions and move in a lot of the people who are staying in the shelters that we can see around. they are going to step aside. you can plant around, people have made very basic shelf is from sticks and plastic sheeting, whatever they can find, in se arrived here to condition on good. been raining heavily most days. there's very little clean water, little food people to 8 and clearly inadequate shelter. but people fear the
11:13 am
fighting. they fear m 23. and that's why they move quickly when they get the chance . and the united nations children's fund estimated about 90000 people were displaced just in the last week or so from recent fighting. we understand from local officials that about 70000 of those people have arrived here at the can regina camp for displaced people who monetary and organizations a suing italy's government for rejecting migrants rescued at to ship, sol refusing to leave the sicilian port of tanya with hundreds of refugees who been denied entry. 3 people jumped into the wars in desperation, but will pull to safety. a 3rd ship, which has been at sea for several days, has now dotson if li, tony battling a port. they survived a harrowing sea crossing from africa, but they've been refused entry into italy and have been caught in
11:14 am
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 battle, which has the right for international protection, which has the right to reach safe land. to rescue ships, humanity won the g. o. parents arrived in the sicilian port of catania on saturday . the total of $621.00 migrants only around $450.00, were allowed to stay. the tenant government says they were not vulnerable and should be repaired created 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 who bought the humanity one and job rent a feeling the effects of that. but the chair in groups has started legal action against the italian government. there was
11:15 am
a discrimination also in the moment when someone 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 do 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. 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
11:16 am
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 as winter sat, seen and seized, become rougher. one thing is, certain more migrants will need to be rescued. a more will die. sony berkeley al jazeera, cataneo sicily, still ahead on al jazeera morley, us mid term elections, and how the issues of lation and abortion rides could make or break the candidates . and the ballot box. ah, anticipation is rising. and so as the atmosphere a you read it the way sponsored my cattle a ways. well, there was much clause in there in the central and eastern mediterranean,
11:17 am
nothing on the satellite picture. and the cold weather swept through central europe . so i think the settling back to how they were about a week ago with a very great big low just to the north of scotland driving all the way down to western side of europe, which is basically windy in wet. but it all eases a bit further than that come. so for the immediate future got rain in portugal in spain at the western side of france, temperatures, and the teen still surprised me. so they've come up a little bit because this wind direction, it's any turn in vienna in the sunshine. jenny, speaking is near, is a little bit less warms on the walls. but if you look at it better and athens both about 3 degrees above the average. so the sun still strong enough to do that. by wednesday the rain has become a bit more substantial and showing up a snow in the italian, the swiss. and to some degree, the french outs was obviously more significant. right, right then into the french riviera as well behind it. the sun's come out, the winds dropped a bit, misty up in the teens. many places, british owls a good case in point for most of north africa. now we're watching the winds
11:18 am
a little bit where they pick up the dust in north nigeria, for example, the rain still catching the coast around the ivory coast garner and nigeria, but it's not as heavy as it was. the weather sponsored by ha, a surge of the country is under water. more than 33000000 are suffering from hunger disease and displacement. the word stories about children who were drinking from the fame water. we did. kathy was filled al jazeera questions. the climate change play a role in the gently don't react to someone being a 152 millimeters of this kind of in going to sink any place the full report pakistan. the great deluge on al jazeera. ah

11:20 am
of the leaderboard for people heading to the ballot box later on tuesday, rob reynolds reports from the state of arizona, where 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 eat, you know where, 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. 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,
11:21 am
literally. when it comes, the 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,
11:22 am
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. alicia, if abortion rights is always been controversial in most u. s. selections on these med times and no different this. he emotions, especially rule after the supreme court struck down federal protections for the procedure i can june. now it's up to individual states to decide whether to allow abortions versus in michigan getting a chance to have they say on the she haughty ger, castro, mo, from the state capitol of lansing. we want to go, wow, 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, dear trying to take us back. a 1931 michigan law had band nearly
11:23 am
all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest. now that law could return this o ray, just dangerous and cruel law. it basically means that a 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, but yes, to support abortion. access no to oppose it. both sides have been campaigning hard. we're out can with theme. i'm in supportive 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 she'd support it. there is a reason why michigan is at the center of the abortion debate raging across the
11:24 am
country. voters here are about evenly divided politically, a close reflection of the entire nation. and that he has law makers 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 toll parishioners voting 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 portion side leading by a significant margin in michigan. the fact that we might not be able to control
11:25 am
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, al jazeera lansing michigan. another big issue on those is mines is immigration, specifically from mexico, our desert manual report reports on how things look from the mexican side of the border here now had a 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. on a level you think tony left, it's not really policy the anti migration situation. mexico depends largely on politics and actions from the united states. human rights observers say that strict
11:26 am
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 jose 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 served by more than 5 times the shelters capacity. to say it's overcrowded, would be an understatement,
11:27 am
and the shelters organizers tell 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 us. and america centers collect 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 than that on will 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,
