to me, in so many memories of watching the torments that have gone from being a child watching games on my sofa, actually presenting out of welcome. it really is a dream come true. this is going to be really unique. woke up, we haven't seen anything like this before, so i can't even imagine what is going to be like being immersed in it as a fan out. as a journalist, the drama thousands of fans packing out the stadium. gonna be really, really exciting. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call out to sara will bring you the news and current affairs that matter. t al jazeera. ah,

this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm emily anguish. this is the news. our live from dough coming up in the next 60 minutes. polls are opening on the west coast of the us, the crucial mid term elections that were shaped america for the next 2 years. the vote will have a far reaching impact to people in ukraine are worried about what will happen if republicans, when warnings of desperate conditions for hundreds of migrants stuck on rescue ships after easily prevent them from disembarking class. i'm malcolm web at a camp for displaced people yacoma 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. and we can, you are count down to cancel 2022 with brazil,

naming their squaws. plus we see if garrath bail can help wales make an impact at their 1st woke up since 1958. ah, welcome to the program. it's just down to 1500 jam tay, that 7 i am in the west coast of the united states where poles have just opened in the crucial mid term elections as sluggish economy, abortion rides and democratic integrity have been. some of the main campaign issues going into tuesdays vote. the result will define the last 2 years of president joy biden's term. and if republicans take control of both the house and senate, it could derail his legislative agenda. the balance of power in congress is likely to come down to battle ground states like nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania. we've got

a team of correspondence across the united states covering the vote. kimberly hallett is at the white house, and gabriel alexander is in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, and john henderson is in atlanta, georgia. but 1st serial vanya has more on what's at stake of how to works. 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 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, 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 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 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. let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hello kent. hello, they, kimberly. polls are suggesting it's going to be bad for president biden, and the democrats, but just how bad of those polls suggesting well, right now, the president himself is not looking particularly optimistic, and that is pretty unusual for president biden, who normally is

a glass half full type of guy a he returned to the white house after campaigning for most of the weekend, asked by reporters how he felt about the prospect of republican congress and working with one. he said it's going to be pretty tough if that's what happens. so the president, early this morning, was on twitter making a last ditch appeal to voters to get out vote saying it's election day in america. make your voice heard, get out today and vote. but again, the polls are not looking good for the president. a historically, in modern history, when a president's approval rating is less than 50 percent, typically that president's party does not capture the house. and that's what it's looking like. in this case. the president's approval rating right now is in the low fourties about 42 percent. and his disapproval rating is above 50 percent. and again, that does not bode well for the president's democratic party hanging on to control of the house. and he's also trying to hang on to the senate as well. and that is

also going to be a toss up, but kimberly americans weren't be waking up to an official result. will they? it could be some time before all those votes accountant. and that is the other reality of modern election politics in the united states. it's no longer election day, it's election week maybe even election month or months, because what we're already seeing, manifesting itself is election challenges. more than $100.00 and counting of what there seems to be a dispute about is the election process that still has not been fixed. so the disputes over mail in balloting, particularly seemed to be the point of contention. and this is also an opportunity for both sides to argue their case, especially in a very close race. and so what we expect is as the day and then night goes on, that the republicans are expected to have a healthy lead. but we can see that lead sort of narrowing as more and more ballots

are counted. and this is a problem because what this opens up to is arguments over free and fair elections. and this is how we got into problems back 2 years ago. there was the dispute over election denying and we have many candidates who are still disputing the results of the 2020 election and may be doing so again. so this opens it up to not only the possibility of election denial but also election violence. and that is the big concern. all right, we'll, we'll keep it out. you'll be across that. kimberly elk at live for us. our white house correspondent there. thank you. it's had to pittsburgh now where gabriel alexander is standing by for us. gave the policy of only been i've been for a couple of hours in pennsylvania, but already this some controversy with the counting. what more can you tell us? yeah, this is what's going on here in pennsylvania. there are about 6000000 people that are expected to vote here in pennsylvania today. but of those already,

there's been about 1100000 people that have already cast their vote by mail in ballot. here's the issue, according for those ballots to be valid according to local election law here, the voter needs to rate the date on the, on below. and apparently there are several 1000 male and ballots where the voter did not write the date on the, on phillip. and so a state judge here has said that those ballots must be thrown out well over night, or the john fedor, men campaign. he's the democrat running for senate in this very hotly contested senate race here. he has appealed to a federal judge saying, no. these ballots should still be counted just because someone didn't write the date, it doesn't mean the ballot doesn't count. now it appears that about 70 percent of

the mail and ballots are coming from democrat. so if these few 1000 a male and ballots are thrown out, that could dramatically affect the devote total for the democrats. they say, well, if more than 6000000 people are expected to vote, why it is just a few 1000 male and ballots, make a difference. why would that be the case? well, we're in pennsylvania and a very could make very well could make the difference. consider how close the keys senate race is here and consider in 2020 joe biden beat a donald trump in this state by only 80000 boat and 6600000 votes were counted. so you can get an idea of what's going on here. we expect to hear from the federal judge making a ruling on this a male and valid decision, perhaps as early as to day. but clearly movie watching that very closely in this hotly contested senate race between celebrity dr. met met, oz, an lieutenant governor john veteran. now what are the key issues for voters here in

pennsylvania? there's a whole host of them. border issues, abortion, the economy. but when we spoke to voters, they also were mentioning something else. and this is it. take a listen. 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, not the norm really matters. the economy won't matter if the price of gas won't matter or if we don't have our representative, legal, government and power, nothing else will matter except democracy accept democracy. yes. can you 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 stormed 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 re election. but those false claims of a stolen election have spread far and wide to republican candidates running and he's mid term elections. 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 to fight for our system or government. they're going to like kids who 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 upset the outcome it. so i think that's what's on a lot of voters lines and they say that democrats hoping that will be all it takes to win enough races to keep control of congress. gabriel's condo. i'll just either pittsburgh now head to atlanta where john henderson is standing by for us. hello there, john. just how close is the georgia senate re some? why is this particular state so important? emily, the polls have been open for 3 hours here. the candidates have made their final arguments and the margins between those candidates are razor thin. most poll show

them to be within one percentage point of each other. that's why they have spent a quarter of a $1000000000.00 in advertisements in his capable. if you turn on your television here, you will see rafael, warnock, and herschel walker talking about themselves and each other. and the reason georgia is so important is that it could decide which party controls the u. s. senate. we know that because they have done it before in the 2020 election cycle. this typically. ready republican state, up to that time elected to democratic senators, along with joe biden. and one of those senators is raphael warnock, who this time is running against herschel walker. walker is a former university of georgia football star. the republicans wanted to pick a challenger that was popular and could raise money. warnock is the 1st black senator from the state of georgia and a pastor who preachers from the pulpit once occupied by the reverend martin luther king. now they are neck and neck, despite the fact that there have been

a number of damaging revelations coming out about the republican herschel walker. he's anti abortion, but to ex girlfriends say that he pressured them to have one. he has said that african american men need to be more involved with their families, but it turned out over the course of this race that one too. and finally, there are 3 children who are from outside of his marriage that he does not keep in contact with. he has said that he has worked in law enforcement. turns out what really happened. he was given an honorary sheriff's badge, which doesn't come with the right to arrest anybody, so that has led to a bunch of negative advertisements. warnock is saying in his final ads that herschel walker is a candidate who is not ready to be senator, who is a pathological liar and who simply fit ads for walker. on the other hand, have brought up an old allegation from worn ox ex wife, that he wants ran over her foot with the car during an argument. so the ads are

getting nasty and the stakes are very high. one problem with this race, in terms of the makeup of the senate, is that we might not know for another month because if neither of these candidates get 50 percent of the vote under georgia law, they have to have a run off in december. so the stakes are high, the interest is high, 20 percent more people who voted ahead of time this time than in that last mid term election. and we might not find out tonight who one johnny might need more than just an overnight bag. thank you very much. for the update, john hendrick live for us in atlanta and post suggest the u. s. economy is a top concern for people heading into the ballot box reynolds report from the state of arizona where many americans are struggling to cope with rising inflation. in tucson, arizona inflation has made father of to just in littles, grocery shopping,

a lot more complicated. whenever we plan our meals, we usually go to unfortunate, go to the meet 1st and see what's on sale, and then it's kind of developed from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at that time is depends on what you eat. again, the point where you feel like you have no choice but 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 said crazy eyes to felt 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, 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, 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. for further analysis, let's bring injured, take a e d, who's a political strategist and c o, a full circle strategies,

a consulting firm. she joins us from washington. d. c. sure. take a thanks so much for being on this news. l. as we've just heard from rob's report, the cost of living really in front of santa of vs mines. did the democrats back the wrong horse in terms of their pitch to voters. president biden has been very much focused on democracy, being at risk. but some of blaming his policies for high inflation. you know, i'd say that when we look at the vast conversations that americans are having, i think that americans are focused on all the issues that are playing them. certainly we do recognize that americans are concerned about democracy. there are certainly concern about we productive choice and reproductive freedom in this country. but americans are also in the concern about the economy. but all of these issues are interconnected. and i think when we look at president biden's policies and what he's done to help lower the cost of,

of prescription prescription drugs in this country. in addition to other policies that have alleviate it, we could not have anticipated what is happening as it relates to inflation. it's a global, it's a global issue, and it's a big america too. but i believe that this president has been doing more so than just talking about these issues, but actually moving policies that are going to create an impact as early as january, we'll see our prescription drug costs go down as a result of the work of this president and the ministration, several states attempt to be tight races as we've been hearing at the top of the program. what should our international view is be looking out for in the coming hours in days, in terms of how the polls are shaping up. you know, i wait for say, you know, let's just not take too much into account when it relates to the poll. the polls have been very unreliable and it's going to really turn down to turn out.

we've seen a record number of early buildings already see more than 42000000 votes cast early in this election, we've seen trends that are on par or above 2018 in georgia. more than $2200000.00 voters have tax their vote early in the state of georgia. that nearly, i believe $500000.00 more. both that we have seen in 2018 in north carolina. we've seen a record number of early votes cast, so it is going to really turn down to turn out. and i think it's important for us not to call elections or to make predictions because people are just getting quoting today. and so these polls that bit unreliable, and in many ways they have been i think in many ways a long message because voters at the end of the day that is what is going to tell us the true outcome of this election. and voters is still casting their votes today . what can we make of that early voting? as you mentioned, it's up since the 2018 mid terms. what impact will those mailing votes have when it

comes to outcomes? explain to us, you know, the pre, how democrats this is republicans and more likely to vote in terms of the male male invites. well, i think that if you look historically early voting has, in many ways have benefited and really been to the advantage of democratic voters, largely because we've seen such mass, voter intimidation and effort to really make it very hard for people to vote. so we see, many democrats will take advantage of early voting. you know, people in america worked election day is not a national holiday, unfortunately in this country. and so people who are working black americans will often take advantage of early voting. we see young people take advantage of early voting, and i think that it is going to be a great marker for this election, particularly in places like north carolina. and in places like georgia in places

like wisconsin and in pennsylvania. where we have seen large numbers of early building, where we will watch with interest. thank you very much for your analysis jer. take a political strategist and ceo of full circle strategies. thank you. thank you. adam goodman is a republican strategist, and he has a different opinion and he's predicting a democrat meltdown at the poll. the only thing that's left to be decided is it going to be a bad night, a very bad night, or a nightmare for democrats? that's all we have. that's all that's really left to be decided. congress has all that flipped to the republican sides on the question. now margin, this is the 4th. the stacy, you just profile georgia. pennsylvania is on a 3 of the work key swing states, nevada would add to that, as the 4th, anything could happen. you talk about inflation, he's talking about the economy in the west in arizona and into that some of the

highest gas and food prices in the country. the question is, does that trump some of the other issues? democrats are obviously gone very hard on abortion, on threats to democracy on gun reform. republicans on the other hand, down the push on the inflation economic buttons, but also on immigration, which is really border security. and in certain places, crime you see in new york, for instance, that crime is now the number one issue by far. that gets 5 points in the latest point over the economy. and the abortion issue in new york is down to like 6 percent. so regional issues to help your audience understand a lot of regional issues will come into play tonight. issues count. it's not just about partisanship tonight. it's about the issues themselves. and of course some of the person that help these other candidates that are running. and again, you can watch out special coverage of the us, mid tempo starting at $100.00,

james on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the us to break down all the results. explain what they mean for those in america and why the midterms matter to the rest of the world. ah, let's get a look now at the world news and migrants from a 3rd charity boat rejected by italy have now been allowed to do some back. are awake and see the vessel. the rise above came to shore at the italian port, reggio, calabria. it's one of 4 rescue bones that were initially denied permission to dock as part of a crack down by actually knew far, right government humanitarian groups are warning of desperate conditions for the hundreds of people still on board. 20 berkeley has the latest from the sicilian port of catania. 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 government change his mind. but at the moment it's not moving. as far as content is concerned, the 2 ships is still have nearly 300 migrants on board, then not being allowed off, but the encouraging signs behind me the job ranch ship and we can register ship. they have 231 people on board. we've seen medical teams go in and police medical teams to do a medical check to see how they are and also the plea for documentation purposes. so it does seem that perhaps things are moving, but at the moment, 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, both because they were ordered to leave the court yesterday by noon. they didn't do that, they now face a $50000.00 euro fine or something like $80000.00. and if they don't do pay that fine, then they could go to court and then communicate and ship. so that would be what

they do fun to do with seeing rescue will these people. so there's still lots of questions here, and not all the answers are being forthcoming for wonder as accusing and ne, the democratic republic of congo of provocation after a 5 digit entered, were wondering space congolese planes have been targeting m $23.00 rebels in the east of the country, more than $3000.00 new army recruit have also started training in the city of going month because glades government accuses were wander of backing the m 23 fighters, which could currently has denied. so we need conflict to hundreds of thousands of people from their homes in recent month. now chrome web has more from a displaced persons. can me go month to tens of thousands of people have arrived here? can you see now i d p. cam. following recent advances by m $23.00, which is widely believed to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda, the border is just over the admiral and this is 2 kilometers over there. these

people came from villages to the north of the united nations. children funds is about 90000 of been displaced by the recent fight and we can take a look around. people are trying to build shelters, he out of whatever they can stick leaves 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 go murder city. about 2000000 people were just on the outskirts of it. people here say that that terrified of m. 23. 10 years ago when it took over sways of territory 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, said people, as soon as the fighting gets close, very many of them flee, and 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. still ahead on al jazeera, more on the us mid term elections. we examined the issue of immigration, especially for states along the mexican border. a rush and back to regional governance says the evacuation operation in her phone is over. if you training in forces closing on the city and a little later and we'll go behind the scenes to kind of our most popular culture. ah right. with enough again margin tina the certainly some weather clouds showing it

so the brakes of light is rain or snow. you know how to proceed, but to go yeah. really, it's sunshine argentina, we're talking about 3 degrees above the average is not a huge departure from the norm, but it's, they're all the same. launch will breeze in the southeast to present in puerto allegro means rain. same is probably true in rio. it's actually quite warm, if you run back up in towards amazonia, the heat wave when you have east in ecuador for a while, but they're obviously big showers are not as big as they were, but the ground is wet. so for columbia, you, venezuela, the potential for land slides is still there if you get a big down pole. and although it's nearly at the end of hurricane season, and this isn't quite a hurricane, it's developing towards that level of extra tropical storm, developed outside the tropics, with winds below the hurricane level. but it is developing slowly. it's great, gaining strength and it's wind. and it will bring a storm surge and rainfall mainly at 1st the northern bahamas. but it may well effect florida in the next 2 or 3 days we'll watch it keep you up to date on that.

in the us it's still very warm in the east whole eastern states and very cold and study for the west. huge contrasts ah, the when a military coup over through chiles, marxist president, when stadiums became prisoners and the hunters sole objective was absolute control . one man publicly refused to accept dictatorship episode 4 of football rebels explored the life of carlos casale, the footballer, whose personal story swayed a vote that altered the history of his country. carlos casale, and the demise of a n day on al jazeera with

nissan. newly oh a hello. you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily angry. he's a reminder about top stories with our or migrant migrant. rather aboard a rescue boat have been allowed to do some bought in the south and a sleep after a week said, this is the 3rd such vessel to dock this week. hundreds of people still stuck in

thousands of joining the congolese army to find a m 23 rebels. the government hands deployed to 5 digits against them. for one says, one of those jet crossed into if by some landed briefly and voted in the united states to deciding which party will control congress in crucial midterm election. when republicans could be railed democratic president joe biden's legislative agenda for more on our top story. let's bring in, she had her tansy. who's at capitol hill? hello there. she had some whole yet to open, but many believe these races already over for the democrats once being set with some democratic strategists the same way. yes. second look. i mean, as we've already heard, the mid terms are a referendum on the president's on the direction of the country on, on the party in power. and if you think about it, it's actually not that bad. at least the senate is still competitive. yeah. like

we've lost the house, democrats saying, but leg, the senate is still hanging there by a thread. and if and given how terrible by the democrats numbers are it could be about was enough. well, that's an indication that the democrats are right to focus on threats to democracy . the stream us in on the, on the trump side, the trump wing of the republican party, january the january, the 6th, and so on. and on abortion. and the threat to women's right to choose because this is all about china out mid terms are about china. it's about getting your base worried enough concerned enough to, to go to the polls when they might not have, especially if the party in power is not doing such a great will not seem to be doing such a great job. so actually, the last enthusiasm, polls by the nbc last week showed that actually democrats and republicans equal it in the late 76 percent. i think it was very interested in the selection factory, some democratic strategist like look, we are right, it's working. that is obviously going to be very holler if the senate is lost and

bike and becomes a lame duck president for the next for the next 2 years. and we already know where those arguments are coming from, which will be yes. abortion was important. yes, democracy was important, but you cause just ignore as you did the economy. all the polls say this is the most pressing issue, inflation 40 year high. and for such a long time, the democrats and joe biden, others either ignored it or biking, just very recently, he was also but the economy. and he said quite strongly of how look at all we've done. we're bringing manufacturing jobs back and, and so much again, this is the job, the unemployment rate of solar. so what we've had for weeks actually is days on the progressive wing, the bunny sound. and so it's, but also the democratic structure should feel their pain, at least show you have a plan to help them to give them all given for why they should vote for you instead of the republicans in order to make the economy better. you can't just rely on abortion and threats to democracy. why didn't you and then lots of theories,

us perhaps as to why the democrats didn't do that. but clearly that's being seen as a major blunder already amongst those who were hoping for a democratic with plenty to digest. thank you very much for the update she had tansy live for us at capitol hill. one big issue on voters mines is immigration, specifically from mexico and more rapid reports on how things look from the mexican side of the border. the record numbers of migrants on the us 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, the 30 left, 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, 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 ride 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 felt that more people are
