ah generation football hosts all the french captain, patrice deborah, you never content because you keep chasing, waiting, waiting, waiting for an illuminating, open conversation. there are very few for all that spoken about child abuse. if you have done, i am a human being. and i think we need to help each other and also showcases the incredible story of the football this in flood afghanistan to escape the telephone generation football episode one on al jazeera. bold. and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah,

holes have opened throughout the us that crucial mid term elections that will shape america for the next 2 years. ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera live from dough house coming up warnings of desperate conditions, the hundreds of migrants stock on rescue ships after easily prevents them from disembarking class. i'm malcolm web at a camp for displaced people near coma 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 go behind the scenes of cotton, most popular football show way ahead of the world. come

welcome to the program. it's just after $1700.00 g m t. that's 7 am in hawaii where pose have just opened for those crucial midterm elections. it's the last day to begin voting. a sluggish economy, abortion rides, and democratic integrity have been some of the main campaign issues going into tuesdays voters. the result will define the last 2 years of president jo biden's term. and if republicans take control of both the house and senate, it could de rallies legislative agenda. the balance of power in congress is likely to come down to battleground, states like nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania. we've got carp respondents across the united states to cover. 1 diversity in a moment, we'll hear from reynolds into sun, arizona, but 1st let's bring in. she had brit handy. who's in capitol hill? hello. they, she have said the same for us polls as suggesting. it's certainly not looking good

for biden. it's not, and i think there's now acceptance biden will be a lame duck president for his next last 2 years in office because the democrats will lose the house. the question is, by how much, but still there is not a hope that at the very least the senate is a toss up still and bad at least gives biden the be the semblance of authority. in fact, some very important powers on, on judicial appointments, on cabinet appointments on regulatory appointments. nor was the important important house for the last 2 years. now, if biting does lose the senate, then he's losing the lame duck. he's a dead duck. all he'll be doing is vetoing legislation being passed, and congress by the republican, by a republican lead house senate. and that is just an appalling situation for any president to be in it. even if obviously we'll look terrible. but it's also just, it will suggest to complete impotence of joe biden, in the white,

out of the democratic party moving forward as well. it will have huge impacts on jo biden's future as the potential no money in the next presidential election. amongst many, many other issues. now the question for the democrats is, wasn't enough term elections are all about turning out your bass. and in this case, in particular, turning out voters swing voters, suburban voters, white women in particular, who have been shocked by the events of the last 2 years. not just january, the 6, not just be a sold on capital hill on congress, on the refusal to accept elections from the stream. right. of the republican, my go wing of the, of the policy. but also that supreme court ruling in the summer, which, which ended the constitutional right of a woman's life to choose, will that be enough to shake people out of any sort of complacency they might have and say, look, we've got to have our vote and our voices heard,

and that's really very much was biting, and the democrats of banking on now i'm yet she have americans won't be waking up tomorrow with any official results. will they it doesn't look like that because it takes time to count. but it's and is enormous voter interest, and we have seen a record number of early votes of absentee votes and an allen person, but it's over 40000000 votes. certainly the absentee ballots take time to count. other states don't allow you to count absentee ballots. mailand ballads until after the post clothes with these enormous volume that's going to take time. we saw what happened in the 2020 election, particularly in battleground, states like pennsylvania, where a rec, where i think a huge majority actually of the absentee ballots that were requested were from democrats, registered democrats. so there is that sense that this could, this could turn the, the result in pennsylvania for example,

that could seem as it did actually last time. but the republicans are doing very well told the read mirage. but then that's them confounded by the counting of the absentee ballots and another balance. and then we have georgia where under the rules, if no candidate gets 50 percent over 50 percent them over run off. so that could then take things into, into december. and it's very close in georgia as well. where this becomes really interesting is, what does that mean? what does this idea of patients, moon, in an era time, when a huge segment of that republican base doesn't even believe in the elections in the 1st place is already saying that the last election is what we're rigged. what would it mean been in pennsylvania, for example, if there is a red mirage, if it looks like the republican candidates winning, but then the vote is take is reduced or if the share of the boat is reduced by the number of the other ballots being counted, that is where the real uncertainty is at the moment. actually, a certain amount of trepidation i would say is at the most, and only time will tell in that case. thank you very much. she had tansy live for

us at capitol hill. speaking of those swing states lives, bringing rob reynolds, who's in tucson, arizona. hello, they rob. i resign or is one of those all important swing states? what issues have dominated campaigns that well, you know, just to expand emily a little bit on what the, the, on the picture that she was painting for us of the american electorate on this election day is in pretty pessimistic mood. if you believe the polls that is the survey released just yesterday show that only 29 percent of americans believe the country is on the right track. so as far as issues goes, go, democrats and especially president biden, have been trumpeting the theme of democratic values, saying that republicans, if they gain power, will warp democracy and the free and fair conduct of elections. also,

the abortion rights issue has been very prominent on the campaign trail for democrats and democrats. hope that an unexpectedly large number of voters will make up their minds on that issue. on the republican side, the candidates have been hammering the democrats on issues like crime and border security immigration. but it seems, according to all observations and polling that the most important thing that is weighing on voters minds, our pocket book issues and. and in that vein, inflation is the foremost in tucson, arizona inflation has made father of to justin little's grocery shopping, a lot more complicated. whenever we planner meals, we usually go to unfortunate to the meet 1st to see what's on sale. and then us got out a bill from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at that time.

it depends on what you eat, your la puente, 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 said crazy eyes develop my tank with like 20 backs. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie betz, who lives on a fixed income is tightening his belt drive. 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 in 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, and earlier i spoke to joe taker, who he, joe, take 80 rather than who's a political strategist and ceo of full circle strategies and consulting them. she says, early voting will play an important role in the outcome of these elections. 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 mat, voter intimidation and effort to really make it very hard for both. so we see, many democrats will take advantage of early voting. you know, people in america work election day is not a national holiday, unfortunately in this country. so people who are working black americans will often take advantage of early voting. you 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. meanwhile, adam goodman is a republican strategist hayes predicting a democrat meltdown at the post. 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 love to be decided. congress has all the flipped to the republican sides on the question. now margin, this is the for the stacy. you just profile george at 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, is 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, don't me 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. i think it's 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 personalities of the candidates that are running. still, i don't al jazeera, we take a closer look at pennsylvania, where whoever wins the hotly contested senate race, there could help keep the balance of power in congress and rush and back to regional godness. the evacuation operation in her son is over as ukrainian forces closing on the city the ah,

and there was a big storm in the central mediterranean couple days ago, and the remains over to this swirling, massive cloud here, which means showers good part of turkey down through lebanon, or down almost to north coast of egypt, but not quite that showers on shores, not particularly windy and not particularly heavy sharon's. our last tuesday wednesday, we'll see it in the same place. and if you look to the east of that, the shower developing in iran and the head of it all is snow in afghanistan and pakistan behind all this. and the reason for the temperatures have dropped. so ask about as a maximum as 11 degrees about a week. yeah, it's more like such one, so you just come down quite rapidly. there is a tendency to produce big showers in the caspian, but let off the hook. during wednesday, by thursday shouted developing again in saudi arabia, kuwait. iran, nothing much the south it. doha, still quite warm at 35 and everything else is fairly quiet. the winds are not especially strong either. in tropical africa,

the rain still exist around the tropics, developing in regulatory but showing i think the majority of downpours in d r c, and further west into angola. and there's been some very wet weather recently. s. what indian, the sense either south africa has dried up now? the most part, but not in zimbabwe. ah. a new series, exploring how traditional knowledge from indigenous community is helping tackle today's environmental catastrophe. in colombia, or lack of people to understand why he's the one thing is still thriving in the coastal mountains of the sierra nevada nations frontline this story night towed on al jazeera. oh,

the me you're watching al jazeera, i'm a my anger and he's reminder of and tough stories. this alum voted in the united states to deciding which party will control congress in crucial mid term elections when for republicans could derail democratic president, joe biden's legislative agenda. and the race is expected to come down to a few case states, nevada, wisconsin, georgia, and pennsylvania, shaping up to be the tightest races in the country. they could decide the balance of power. and gabriel, alexander has more on that from pittsburgh. 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 if we don't have our representative, legal, government and power. nothing else, no matter except democracy except democracy. yes. and 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 con, 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 these 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 are the reason why many voters say democracy is top of mind. they're going to the polls, the 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. and so i think that's what's on a lot of voters minds and they say, democrats hoping that will be all it takes to win enough races to keep control of congress. gabriel's condo, al jazeera, pittsburgh, and you can watch and special coverage of the u. s. midterm poll starting and are $100.00 g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across america to write down all the results. explain what they mean for those in the us and why the midterms matter to the rest of the world. to the world news now and a rescue ship carrying more than $200.00 migrants is heading to france to easily refuse to allow them to disembark the ocean. viking is the 4th such vessel to demand permission to dock in the country this week. some of the people have been allowed on show after a week and seeing this rejection of rescue vessels is seen as part of

of people from their homes in recent months. malcolm web has more from a displaced persons camp near gorman, who tens of thousands of people have arrived here. can you see now id 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 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 flight. and we can take a look around. people are trying to build shelters, he out of whatever they can stick leave. 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

a persuasive territory here in east and congo, it was known for executing civilian torturing people for rapes. and there being complaints of exactly the same kinds of abuses. now, said 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 dia conditions with little clean water, very inadequate shelter. and very little food pakistan says an investigative journalist who was killed last month and kenya was targeted. shad sharif was shot dead in nairobi nearly 2 months after he left pakistan. a police report said offices open fire on the vehicle that sharif was traveling in as it drove through their roadblock without stopping. they had been looking for coffee. a russian

russian forties had given residents around that until until the 10th of november to evacuate. and 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 as far as over night, over the last few days in the reports of explosions. although because of media restrictions, we can't go and see what or if anything has been hit on but around her son, the is the screening amongst the ukrainians. that something is going to happen. and for song is very important to the russian is the only regional capital that they've managed to take the dock of the wolf is the only point the west side of that river . the need for the russian troops occupied curse on the gateway to the south is also important for fresh water supplies to antics crimea, and russia and back in 2014 the ukrainians cut off water. the russians took course on. they reinstated that water supply. in fact, it was one of the reasons present gave for the invasion of ukraine in new zealand.
