ah, the climate has changed every year for millions of years, decades of talk, but little action. it's all about distract, create confusion to crate, smoke and mirrors. the shocking truth about how the climate debate has been systematically focused. busy oral industry was a made bank roller for opposition to clock back to campaign against the climate. do you think that's a bad thing? more shoot you a did was for sure. absolutely. on, on jesse ah . now which is here? with every oh ah,
12:01 pm
americans the set to vice in mid term elections that could shape the rest of j biden's term in office. the choice between 2 very different bridges. america. we're going to take back the house. we're going to take back the said it final pitches, devices in the cycle. swing states as democrats, risk, newsome, controller, congress ah, hello, i'm money inside the sound. is there a live? how was it coming up? i'm malcolm web account for displaced people near gama, in the democratic republic of congo, tens of thousands of people have arrived here in the last week or so, seeing violence. fighting between the n 23 rebel group and government forces, a call for help from migrants stuck on rescue shapes don't to mislead
12:02 pm
sources, preventing hundreds of people from coming to shoes . just a few hours polling stations will open across the united states. the crucial midterm elections, tens of millions of people have already caused that valid snotty voting. democrats and republicans have been making last debt to appeals in battle ground states. now, if republicans managed to re came control of both houses of congress a could derail j. biden's legislative agenda today, rephrase inflection point. one of those moment comes round every 3 or 4 generations . we know on our bones or mockers is at risk and we know that this is your moment to defend it. preserver protected chusen. meanwhile, former president donald trump has promised to make a big announcement on november. 15th trump has hinted at running for the presidency
12:03 pm
again in 2024, but as yet to officially confirm his candidacy. he's been campaigning in ohio. we're just hours away from the most important mid term election in american history . and we need a landslide so big that the radical left cannot rigate or cannot steal it. this is the year we're going to take back the house. we're going to take back the said it, and we'll get to take back america. and in 2024. most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent white house. alan fish has been monitoring those final campaign rallies 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 pool on the eve of elections. and we
12:04 pm
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 and 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, when, 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
12:05 pm
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. on the 10th, i could mean a shift in power during president's tan. sale veneer has more and what's at stake and how it a wax 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 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
12:06 pm
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, 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,
12:07 pm
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 midterm. falsely believed that the 2020 presidential election was flawed, or they have repeated trump's 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 or 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 are one of the most closely watched races will be in georgia. republicans in the traditionally conservative state was done 2 years ago when they lost their t senate states. now the state is back in the national spotlight. my kind of
12:08 pm
reports from savannah 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. ah, other minority communities are growing as well. and these shifting demographics had much to do with the traditionally red state, turning blue. ah, and people like pastor andre osborne, a working to build on 20 twenty's gains. having the right type of energy 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 senate bill 2 o 2, which among other restrictions requires voters to provide
12:09 pm
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 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 partner. as abortion, i think every boat with her to get because it was against mind it. it's not like
12:10 pm
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 turn off that 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, end of the senate. and that will be an onset to republican pres. my kinda, i'll just 0. so that rwanda has accused its neighborhood, the democratic republic of congo, a provocation after a jet entered it's asked space military planes have been deployed to talk at the m $23.00 rebels in the east of the country. and 3000 new army recruits have also

derail president. job bodies magenta. a poll suggest the u. s. economy is top concern for people heading to the ballot box later this tuesday, rob reynolds reports from the state of arizona where many americans is struggling to cope with rising inflation. in tucson, arizona inflation is 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 for to see what's on sale, and then it's got out to go from there. so it always kind of depends on what is affordable at that terms, depends on what you read, your part 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 my tank with like 20 backs. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie betz, who lives on
12:18 pm
a fixed income is tightening his belt. 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 think about when you get your ballot,
12:19 pm
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, and i'll have, i guess she on, thanks as mine's is immigration, specifically from mexico, manya report reports and how things look from the mexican size of the boards at home. i also 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. 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 pilot of migrants in mexico. jenina ramos,
12:20 pm
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, right, 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 served 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 maga 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 if a media many families of entity you ask that many other families have been to pull to, 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 and our coverage, i'm pulling day begins at one g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across

12:24 pm
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 a political no man's land. critics of the government say it is playing political games and thousands more migrants answered italy under their own means, or are rescued by the italian coast guard. though, save by foreign ships represent only a small percentage with the trauma, for those stranded on the ships can only get worse, which they have fear and nice, and that they are pushed back into international waters. maybe even pushback 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 set, seen and seems become rougher. one thing is, certain more migrants will need to be rescued. a more will die. sony berkeley al
