they coming out now with a king cobra, which is the largest venomous snakes in the world. this is one of the few places where they milk them for their venom. this is the red cross snake bomb, a regional hub, the and t been in production. hello. this center produces enough anti venom to most of south east asia. there are some parts of the world west supplies, a desperately short challenge is the brazilian dictatorship. the democratically run football team down. the corinthians changed the course of their nation with the center was a revolutionary football, known to locals, as the doctor football rebels concludes with the celebration of life and legacy of socrates and the corinthians, democracy movement on alger sierra. ah,

holes are officially open in the east, in the united states found the mid term elections that will shape the nations policy. the next 2 years are underway. the charge between q, her different bridges, america. we're going to take back the house. we're going to take back the said it final pitches to voters in the cycle swing states as democrats, risk losing control of congress plus ah ha, why money inside this is out? is there a lie from joe? also coming up a call for help from migrant stuck on rescue ship stops in italy. authorities are preventing hundreds of people from getting on to dry land and tensions escalade in democratic republic of congo as a fight against m. 23 rebels ramson. ah,

hello and welcome. the 1st polls have just opened in the united states in crucial midterm elections. the result will define the last 2 years of president jo biden's term. and if republicans take control of the house of senate, it could derail his entire agenda. now, ahead of election day, both parties made their final appeals devices. a sluggish economy and abortion rights are some of the main campaign issues. today, rephrase inflection point. one of those bombers comes round every 3 or 4 generations. we know on our ball, general markers is at risk and we know that this is your moment to defend it. preserver, protect to choose it. this is the year we're going to take back the house. we're going to take back the senate and we're going to take back america. and in 2024.

most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent white house. well, the balance of power in congress is likely to come down to battery where apple ground stays like nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania. let's take a closer look at 2 of those battle states mike havana. as in mike hannah's in savannah, georgia where republicans are trying to win back senate states was let's hear from gabriel as online pennsylvania. he's been asking vases, want the big issues off of them. many voters say the economy and high gas prices are top issues in the selection. but for karen ends alone attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election means for her. this mid term election is about whether or not democracy survives in america. democracy is now definitely on the ballot.

nothing else really matters. the economy won't matter. the price of gas won't matter if we don't have our representative, legal, government and power. nothing else will matter except democracy except democracy. yes. i think it's under threat. absolutely. many voters told us defending democracy was top of their list of issues. they're voting for on tuesday. but why now? it all stems from january 6th, 2021. that's when supporters of donald trump storm the u. s. capital to try to prevent congress from certifying the election results. since then, trump has repeatedly said falsely that it was a rig election. but those false claims of a stolen election have spread far and wide to republican candidates running in these mid term election. and voters here in pennsylvania don't need to look too far to see it for themselves. meet doug master yano. he was among the trump supporters

who stormed the capital grounds on january 6th. while he didn't go inside the capital itself and hasn't been charged with a crime, he has become a central figure in supporting trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election. now he's on the ballot tuesday running for governor in pennsylvania. and political scientists say candidates like him or the reason why many voters say democracy is top of mind. the going to the polls, the fight for our system or government, their fight going through a leg kid and to respect the integrity of elections. who believe that when the people speak at elections, that those votes should be honored? those vote should we follow, they should not be thrown out by elected officials or candidates who have said the outcome. it's i think that's what's on a lot of voters minds and they say that democrats hoping that will be all it takes to win enough races to keep control of congress. gabriel's condo, al jazeera,

pittsburgh, the african americans are the fastest growing boating block in georgia. now, nearly 40 percent of the state's 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 working to build on 20 twenty's games 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 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 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 advert it actually paid for a partners abortion. i think every, both the her figure is of war against mind by not like in the there's more somebody

to let 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 after 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 would be an answer to republican pres. my cannot al jazeera savannah thomas gift is the director of the center on us politics and an associate professor and political science university college london. he says the economy has been a stumbling block for democrats. i think that democrats have faced the central dilemma in this campaign. it became more and more obvious that inflation was going

to dominate the elections. but it's hard to campaign on fighting inflation when the problem has spiraled out of control under your watch. it is true that spice and the cost of living have been ramp in throughout north america and western europe. cobra, 119 pollutants war supply chain challenges. they haven't done anything to help, but you know, a case can be made and public made it, that all this was exacerbated by the fact that biden through the american rescue plan is covered stimulus bill push one point $9000000.00 into an already overheating economy back in 2021, then democrats followed up with an inflation reduction act that despite its branding, hasn't really combated inflation and can't in the short term. there are some countervailing pressures on the economy. unemployment remains relatively low. 3.5 percent consumer competence is still fairly high, but inflation hits everyone and the majority party fair or not is going to get scape goat it. so that's not the only issue, but it is a huge factor. but, you know, given that challenge, i think democrats sort of have

a hard time talking about, they prefer to pivot to other issues. there was a lot of talk about abortion being a galvanizing issue for democrats and back in the summer, there was money that was pouring into pro choice candidates, democrats, one of the big state referendum in kansas, protecting abortion rights. and they thought that they could kind of ride that momentum into this election. i don't think that they're able to, although, you know, it's a selling issue for some still think inflation is going to dominate. and our coverage and pulling day begins at one g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the u. s. to break down all the results. explain what it means for those in america. why the midterms matter to the rest of the world? migrants from a 3rd char, she boast rejected by italy, have now been allowed to dock after a week out, see the vessel, the rise above came to shore at the italian port of red,

your calabria. it's one of 48 boats that were initially denied permission to dock as part of a crack down by italy's new right wing government. humanitarian groups a warning of desperate conditions for the hundreds of people still on board. they've taken the government to court to challenge the decision. tony badly has latest from the sicilian port of natania. there is pressure, i understand not just from the humanitarian organizations. we understand the vatican has got involved. so there are moves here to make the italian government changes mind, but at the moment it's not moving as far as could, tanya is concerned. the 2 ships here still have nearly 300 migrants on board. they're not being allowed off for the all encouraging signs behind me, the job ranch ship and norwegian, legacy ship. they have 231 people on board. we see medical teams go in and police medical teams do a medical check to see how they are and also the please for documentation purposes

. so it does seem that perhaps things are moving, but at the moment you italian government backed itself into a corner and it's going to be difficult to see how they get out of it. one of the problems also is for the captains of both boats here because they were ordered to leave the port yesterday by noon. they didn't do that, they now face a $50000.00 euro fine, not something like $80000.00. and if they don't do pay that fine then where they could go to court and then confiscate and ship. so that would be great. what they do, the fun to do it. see and rescue all these people. so there's still lots of questions here. are not all the answers are being forthcoming, runs as accusing its neighbors, the democratic republic of congo of provocation, after it's fine to jet, entered random as space congolese planes have been targeting m 23 rebels in the east of the country. more than 3000 new army retreats have also started training in the city of ghana. the congolese government accuses round a backin m $23.00 fight is which kit, golly,

has denied that we need conflict. as for was hundreds of thousands of people from their homes in recent months. as case our cars bought a mac and web who is live assen, internally displaced camp in goma. good to see you. what are people they're telling you about why they have left their homes in the d r. c? with tens of thousands of people arrived here. the can you see now i d. p come following recent advances by m 23, which is widely believed to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda. the border is just over the admiral, and this is to kill him, which is over there. these people came from villages to the north, the united nations children fun since about 90000 of been displaced by the recent fights. and we can take a look around. people are trying to build shelters, he out of whatever they can stick sleeves and plastic sheets. we spoke to one young

man who says he fled because am 23 of forcibly recruiting young men. people here fear that could be in preparation for an advance on the regional capital of murder city. about 3000000 people were just on the outskirts of it. people here say that they're terrified of in 23. 10 years ago when it took over sways of 33 here in eastern congo, it was known for executing civilian torturing people for rapes and have been complaints of exactly the same kinds of abuses. now that people, as soon as the fighting gets close, very many of them flee these people, all of them of walked 30 or 40 kilometers to get away from the fighting to get away from the front line. and to come and stay here. and what are, quite frankly, fairly dire conditions with little clean water, very inadequate shelter, and very little food. malcolm, tell us a bit more about these m. 23 rebels. how if they gain prominent

they for the congress each government? 10 years ago in 2012, they took the regional capital of goma. time you and investigators uncovered evidence. we even spoke to n 23 fighters who said that they were london who had been abducted by the military and one the 4th to fight for 23. it was widely believed that they were rwandan proxy. they were one of the ways denied it. and that time, the congress is army, 2013, with substantial international support for them back all the way back to the border with rwanda and uganda. after the m 2323 fighters spend some time demobilized income in uganda. but about a year ago, they resumed fighting again they, once again, rwanda is accused of backing them un investigators of provided evidence of that will. they were one to continue to deny it an interest in the last week or 2.

they've made substantial gains, and now they're about 3040 to 40 kilometers to the north of here. this fear that they would take the regional capital of goma as they did 10 years ago. but the congress army who's certainly of the last year hasn't been as strong as it was 10 years ago now. says it's got, when did it sales again? and they've begun an offensive to try and push them back, including with those 5 to just that you mentioned just a short while ago. thank you for that, malcolm web that for us in goma, still a heads on al jazeera, more in the mid terms, we'll have the view from ukraine's capital key, where the u. s. by could have big implications and risking their lives to report the true town mexico's become one of the most dangerous places in the world. the gens ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere

a you ready to do with both of my cattle aways? when it got cold nights, not quite as cold as it was snowy, she might expect to see a mongolia northern parts of china. not really that visible. we got to high affordable baton none tarpon. it might rain little bit in beijing and they might well do the same with occasional chairs in hong kong, but taiwan is the focus of any significant right in the next day or so for the whole of east asia dentures have come down for the most part but look a grill in 31 as well above where it should be and it's been fairly consistent as well. sunny's dominant. what rain there is in this former sherry stuff coming out taiwan is heading for the southern islands of japan, but not the main island where tokyo hangs on to 22 in, sol has risen to 18 with the north east monsoon, giving us proper rain in india, it is once again to the south where you look not looking very heavy in the forecast, i think from anchor is more the focus. mostly it's dry elsewhere, but it fairly obviously isn't in the far north west of india or pakistan once it

goes what we call a westerly disturbance, a consequence of the changing season coming out of europe across the stands. and here it is. just showers of rain or snow depends your height above sea level it in the organ part of pakistan. mostly the picture is a dry one. beyond that, this is the wednesday forecast, which shows the same sort of system developing showers in iran and the caucasus. the weather sponsored by a cat on a ways, jumping to the stream where no topic is off the table. i don't think anybody's in the morning and in a day we are the subject of the family to that one person's opinion. but what's your, amplify, your voice? did you do? so system in mexico is incredibly weak. it is not just rushing where a global audience becomes a global community. the scariest part of this moment in my country is this place for a more weapon. the stream on al jazeera, ah

ah, welcome back, he was he out 0 mind if i top stories this hour. also opened in the eastern united states and midterm elections all now underway, public and managed to take control of both houses congress. it could derail president, jo biden's agenda. my friends from a 3rd charity base now been allowed to dock in its lay out a week at c one, a 48 boats that were denied entry as part of the crack down by the new white wing government. ran to the keys, it's neighbor, the democratic republic of congo provocation off to fight a jet, entered glanton as space. the congolese military is using fighter jets to target m

$23.00 rebels. let's get you more in our top story. the u. s. midterm elections now one big issue and voters minds is immigration specifically from mexico manual report reports and how things look from the mexican side at the book here. now my uncle 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. oh, good critics say the politics playing out in the us are also having a significant impact on immigration policies across the border in mexico. not believing audio left. it's not really 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 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 angie yos 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 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 tell us 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 america centers collette 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 than been eligible to for me. many families of entity you ask that many other families have been reported 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. mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the well to be a journalist. that is the assessment of the committee to protect journalists,

which says, attacks are coming from by organized crime and authorities. least 13 journalists were killed as yet that makes the country 2nd only to ukraine and journalist deaths . and it's a year long problem in total. more than a 151 mexican journalists have been killed in the last 3 decades and aggressions against the press of increased by 85 percent during the current government. as, according to the international free speech organization, article 19. and the 1st of our 2 part series john holman reports and that occurs on the risk janice, face in mexico. this is norma. she's a local crime, be reporter for digital outlet radio station veracruz in upper hall. i believe it's one of the most violent state to mexico serving as a key location for criminal groups engaged to both drug and human trafficking. we traveling with her that she heads out to cover crime scene since in the middle. ah,

no, i'm not scared. there are cruises also the deadliest mits can state for journalists . 31 have been killed here in the past decade. goodbye lola. that was, i mean, as that one was me, not those a like as well, their own app. and so now our la, i said, as elsewhere, mexico getting threats for simply doing the job is normal. since the government launched to so called war against cartels and criminal organizations in 2006 killings of reporters have gone up as both crime and corruption become more and more entrenched. at least 13 journalists have been killed, emits for this year. mon, the whole of 2021 era in may. norma got this cool of to she reported on a police operation. i i she had to flee the town. local authorities couldn't protect her.

now she's back working, but in fear for her life. re max, could the threats come not just from the countries ramp and gang and wherever there is organized crime, various collusion with local authorities, mostly on melissa pal level, but also on the state level, and especially outside and major metropolitan areas in mexico, journalists are often part of the relatively small community, a small pool of reporters, especially those who cover what they call the no title and mexico, which is crime and violence and traffic accidents who affect the interests a very powerful players in a country. a boy thing when traveling video, they said that there is a clear line. dividing us is the international press. dropping in here, no international journalist has been killed in more than a decade in mexico and the national, and especially the local journalists. covering this day in and day out there really the ones that are at risk,

we've organized crime threatening journalists in controlling the flow of news. i asked norma how it felt wondering what she could and couldn't report. when on wednesday, krista, as if you were on a glass one for said and you fall k possibly a super bleakest, all lowercase us? nothing. i wouldn't be here. john, home and i would just get a better cruise. and you can watch john holman's documentary silence the killing of janice in mexico on al jazeera is fault line program at 2230 gmc on wednesday, november 9th, and 930 gmc thursday. november 10th. a russian appointed official in ukraine's castle regions says civilians have been evacuated as ukrainian forces advanced to retake control in the area. as long as the only big city russia captured, since it's invasion back in february when you're throwing up words, if you would know for failure,

people who left to right bank part of caution region before the left bank are in a safer condition. the evacuation is over, where people may now leave individually if they play via the hotline, but i repeat, they must do it individually as of today. as a bag, as following developments from quantity and central ukraine. well, we've been hearing about the evacuation for a while. the president, president vladimir putin has endorsed evacuations of recreation, but there's been extra import us over the last few days. that's because both sides have accused each other. i've talked to that down further river, both sides of accused each other of wanting to blow it up. and if it does blow, it will have devastating consequences. but there's also extra import us because russian forties had given residents around that down until, until the 10th of november to evacuate. there is a feeding head to the 10th feeling that something will unfold over the next few days, even here where we've been,

we've been hearing sr and overnight over the last few days have been reports of explosions. although because of media restrictions, we can't go and see what or if anything has been hit and but around her son, the is the feeling amongst the ukrainians. that something is going to happen in person is very important to the russian is the only regional capital that they've managed to take them to the dock of the war. it's the only point the west side of the river. the need for the russian troops occupies the course on the gateway to the south, is also important for fresh water supplies to an ex, crimea, and practice russia. back in 2014. the ukranian cut off water. the russians took course on the reinstated water supplies. in fact, it was one of the reasons president putin gave for the invasion of ukraine. the cause of 2022 will be wells 1st world cup. since 1958 garrett will lead the side and its pool re found out they've been shaking out the nations thing priority. garrath

failed a true world class player about to lead his country to the world cup. the 33 year old is coming to the end of a career that seen him when the champions league with rail madrid and reached the semifinals of years 2016 with wales. not about achievement for a country of 3000000 people. doris bail started out on the pitches here, a schooling called if that is help the small country punch well above its weight on the sporting stage, which church school has also produced a national work. the captain undertook france, when not even my father. my grandfather, she knew, well, this is great. move basis. he missed us quite, quite a lot is very sites and they didn't only get us. the last time wales made the finals was 958 in sweden, cliff jones and his teammates went out in the quarter finals to brazil. i'm a, i'm

a good living one and in the thanks to a welcome debut goal from a 17 year old legend in the making. nobody's heard of pele. i could always remember vividly. he's picked the ball up in his own off, and he's grown pash 3, which defenders are leash knocked the ball. and jack kelsey's manager just to we thought like, who is this? who is this kid? nobody wrote in. i mean, that was the emergence of possibly the greatest football in the world is ever seen was, was, was fairly the country's traditional national sports. rugby union has often overshadowed football in wales. but the journey to capital 2022 has seen the football team take the spotlight. rugby has always represented what it means to be . wow, certainly sort of side. well, i think watch football team of now taken on that mantle. the players are heroes in this country. everybody felt really.
