americans votes in crucial mid term elections that will determine who controls congress and could define the rest of jo biden's presidency top of vote, his minds high inflation and democracy with hundreds of election denies among the republican candidates. ah, on the bulk of this is al jazeera life and london also coming up. ah, celebration says 80000000 migrants are allowed to disembark from one boat in italy . but another ship heads for from soft the 234 people. it rescued or denied cooled and russian and stored all thirties in the her so region say they've completed the evacuation of residents. i had been dissipated offensive by ukraine. ah,

ah, the begin in the united states where people are carson their ballots in the crucial midterm elections, which could see the democrats lose control of congress are pending. the rest of jo biden's presidency as sake are all 435 seats in the house. of representatives where the current democratic majority is just 8. $35.00 of the senate's a 100 seats are being contested. right now they're evenly divided. so a change of control and just one seat could put the republicans in charge. $36.00 states are electing governors and $27.00 are electing their secretary of state who in most places is the official in charge of elections. according to the brookings institution, 345 candidates on the ballot back, donald trump's false claim that the 2020 presidential election was flawed. which means people who reject the last presidential election could end up in charge of running. it's next one will in a moment who will take

a look at the battleground states of georgia and pennsylvania. but for us, as here from our correspondence at the white house and on capitol hill, let's go 1st to kimberly help of the white house and, and kimberly, we know, of course, that joe biden has used a huge amount of time and a huge amount of energy to focus the attention on this being an election where voters should be out defending democracy. but is that really galvanized and energized voters this time rad? it doesn't appear to be the issue that is driving people to the polls. in fact, it seems to be that the republican message is the one that's resonating with most voters, the economy seems to be the big issue that is galvanizing people getting them out to vote. i. in fact, in most polls it seems that more than 80 percent of voters identified the rising cost of living inflation when it there it's the cost of food, housing, fuel costs, as the motivator for getting out to vote. and what this really is turning out to be

this election day is more of a referendum on the past 2 years of jo biden's policies he brought about sweeping change when it comes to climate change. expanding the social safety net that he believes have really impacted their ordinary americans lives. but many americans argue that is not the direction they want this country to go. and the polls seem to indicate that there may be a shift in the way the congressional makeup looks going forward. kimberly alco for now live the white house. thank you very much. let's go over now to capitol hill. and she opportunity there years. she has, who were saying a 3rd of the senate and the whole of the house of representatives is up for the, for the taking this rule of course decide what on bite and become something of a lame duck president for the next 2 years. and we should be clear, we don't know what the results will be. the senate is still in play. kelly,

who knows, that could be some huge, amazing upset him in the house. and he's an upset with the republicans who would be expected to do well. anyway, in any mid terms, that loan one, when as inflation at 40 years is high. but i think there is an acceptance even in the, even in the, the best scenario. so the democrats right now, the house has gone, and that doesn't mean at the end to biden's domestic legislative agenda. now you need both the house and the senate to do to pass to pass laws to and then which then go to the president stuff. he's lost, he was lost, the house that it, but not any vamps to add towards. kimberly, with thing, it's a real me for my like true biden. who was just wants to be love his uncle, joe. i remember what he ran on in 2020. i'm going to bring back the mallet into america reconciliation just in the fact that his main closing argument was, america is a crossroads. democracy is at stake. just shows how he's failed on his, on what he was pledging in 2020, which was bring back normality and not necessarily address the root causes of that

sense of alienation which makes so many people go towards trump, for example, makes people think the entire system is rig both on the left and the right. it is, it is a damning indictment. perhaps off biden's, odin an agenda while he was a president with which to be fed. he did say, i'm not going to make many changes. i just gonna bring the nation together. and kelly, he's failed. she had for now many thanks. she returns the life on capitol hill the well, one of the most closely watched mid term races is in ga republicans in the traditionally conservative state was done 2 years ago when they lost that to senate seats. and as my kind of reports from savannah, georgia is back in the national spotlight. the african americans are the fastest growing boating block in georgia. now nearly 40 percent of the states electorate. that's an increase of some 7 percent and 2 decades. the other minority

communities are growing as well, and the shifting demographics had much to do with the traditionally red state, turning blue the and people like past andre osborne, a working to build on 20 twenty's gains. having the right type of energy in the 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 bill 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 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's abortion. i thank every vote that her to get because of law against bind. it's not like 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 2 enough that the poles,

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 answer to republican pres. my kinda, i'll just 0 to that. and in the closely contested senate race in pennsylvania, whoever wins could help tip the balance of power in congress. many votes is that say the very foundations of u. s. government are at stake from pittsburgh. gabriel, i was under reports. 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. the price of gas won't matter if we don't have our representative, legal, government and power. nothing else will matter. accept democracy, accept 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 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 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 tramps, 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 continuing with the mid term coverage this case at heidi joe castro. now who's life for us? an opposing station at the university of wisconsin, heidi wisconsin, as we know, it's very well known for tight races in the past, i think, shaping up this time. that's right. even that can't be over stated. you know, the last 2 presidential options in wisconsin were decided by less than one percentage point at having swung toward trump in 2016 and then to biden, in 2020. and we're looking at a similar set of circumstances here. and these mid terms where there's a critical race for the u. s. senate we have the incumbent, ron johnson, a republican who is fighting to defend his senate seat from the democratic challenger. mandela barnes, who's currently the states lieutenant governor. those 2 now polling pretty much neck and neck, which makes this state unique in that this is one of the few opportunities that

democrats are eyeing as a chance to flip a senate seat that's currently occupied by the republicans. whereas in the rest of the country, really, democrats are playing defense and of course, control of the u. s. senate is at stake here, and that is why there is so much fervor on the ground outside polling locations like here outside of the university of madison. i'm university wisconsin madison campus where we are now, and that's where we found our guest here. this is jason rivera. you're an organizer trying to turn out the vote for students. are you having much luck doing that today? oh my god, we are a so much sludge luck doing that today or somebody were so excited to vote today, which is crazy to me. yeah, i think lately the biggest thing with students is just don't know where to go. they don't know what to do. most people don't teach them how to vote, and it's just like there's a lot of infor, misinformation online, and i think it's vital that we're out here helping people out telling people where

to go to hon. what they need to go do to vote. now i know your organization is non partisan, but college students are known to be leaning democrat and democrats know they have to turn out the student vote. do you think that's a challenge that's that they're facing? i think it definitely is just because obviously in would students, you know, we have a lot of things on play. however, there's also a thing where like democrats haven't really been focusing this invoice as much as they should have. and i believe democrats multi focus on like up north, which for people who don't know, it's a little more conservative out there. and sure it's important to do that. but we have a large voice on campuses. 300000 students on interest, wisconsin alone. i think it's super important we need to talk to every single one of them. and i know you are a student yourself. so what is your or are your major issues driving your vote today? well, of course i have to pay to be here way too much money, obviously. what to call. but on top of that, and you know, just besides that, in general, also just human rights. in general. the big issue here in wisconsin is abortion

rates. a big law kicked in back when they repealed robi laid and a chest that a lot of people from getting safe abortion at a stop. a lot of people from trying to get proper care from time parent to places like that. and i think it's super important that people have the right to choose for themselves, the right to choose about their own bodies and you know, the right to do whatever they want to do with what they have. and i probably said the same thing 3 times. there, but i'm going to keep it or reiterating that every single time i say, thank you so much jason. i appreciate your time and you just heard him. abortion is a major driving factor, especially for voters who tend to vote democrat. we're seeing that on the ground here and also in the neighboring state of michigan where i was just a few for the last few days. we know there's a ballot initiative that's directly asking voters and michigan whether the state should protect abortion rights. that is another issue that is being closely washing these mid term. heidi, many, thanks for that, heidi joe castro, the university of wisconsin. still to come this half hour. i'm malcolm web

at a camp for displaced people near goma in the democratic republic of congo. tens of thousands of people have arrived here in the last week or so. seeing violence. fighting between the n 23 rebel group and government forces and we continue our count down to cut our 2022 can go help wales make an impact. their 1st welcomes is $958.00. ah well the mediterranean storm has dispersed and the cold that brought the snow to central europe, moralist spirit as well. in fact the driving force now is this big low south of iceland between iceland and scotland driving relatively mild weather windy at times, admittedly, but largely mild. so 14 degrees, a bit above average for london. and that's got rain minutes through denmark,

norway, and sudden sweden. there is some stove courses you might expect, but it's not exactly wide spread south of that. the range bit more substantial as it runs into the alps. so for this part of france there will be rain heavy rain then for the french, italian and swiss alps as a more snow. that rain also spreads back into spam attempt is now nearly 20 mark than the 30 marks. that's certainly cool. dab is so quite warm and mediterranean island 24 in power across 21 athens. both those temperatures are above average by a couple of degrees. but to get to thursday, the rain spread a bit further across into the barracks. it's enormously and particularly slovenia tension. vienna's come up as a result of this encroaching cloud and rain. so in fact, things are slightly warmer than the sunshine on thursday and a good part of europe. it's still rainy occasionally in southern nigeria, but not very heavily. ah,

it is the professional duty of journalists to report the truth accurately and impartially. but to do so in mexico, they must 1st be successful at staying alive. as fatal attacks on journalists continued to rise, so plans reports on the risks they confront. and one of the deadliest countries in the world for those, bringing the troops to light silenced the killing of journalists and mexico on a josie. ah ah, mind of the top stories here on al jazeera americans of voting and crucial mid term

election, which could see the democrats lose control of congress. appending the rest of jo biden's presidency at stake, all 435 seats in the house of representatives, and 35 seats in the senate. pulse suggest republicans will take the house, but the battle to control the senate looks tighter. coming down to close elections in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, and nevada. will poll suggests the u. s. economy is the top concern for most voters . reynolds reports for tuscan in the swing state of arizona, where many americans are struggling to cope with rising inflation. in tucson, arizona inflation has made father of to justin little's grocery shopping a lot more complicated. whenever we plan our meals, we usually go to unfortunate to the meet 1st to see what's on sale and then has come out to bill from there. so it always kinda depends on what is affordable at that time is 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's ed said crazy eyes develop my tank with like 20 bucks. now it's 40 senior citizen, lannie bets who lives on 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 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, and our special coverage of the outcome of the midterms begins at a $100.00 g m t on wednesday. we'll have correspondence across the us to break down all the results. i'll explain what it means for america. and the rest of the world, of course. ah, the rescue ship with 234 migrants on board is heading for france after being

refused entry by italy's new far right government. the ocean viking says it intends to ask france for a safe port to let people off. but the italian government has allowed migrants from another charity boat to disembark after a week at c. l 89 people on board, the german run rise above will at a shore in reggie calabria. after being rescued in the mediterranean, hundreds of passengers, the italian government deemed not vulnerable. i've also been stuck on to other ships allowed to dock in italy in recent days, tony berkeley has more from the sicilian port of katana. 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 change his mind. but there are encouraging signs behind me the job ranch ship, the norwegian register ship, 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 say that perhaps things are moving, but at the moment, italian government is 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 lead the port yesterday by noon. they didn't do that, they now face a 50000 euro fine. and if they don't do pay that fine, then they, they could go to court and then confiscate the ship. so that would be gate what they do, funded, etc, and rescue all these people. so there's still lots of questions here. are not all the answers are being forthcoming and of use for windows accusing. the democratic republic of congo were provocation. after a congo lease fighter jet entered rondon air space, the d r c says it was a mistake congolese planes have been targeting m 23 rebels in the east of the country. over 3000 new army recruits have also started training in the city of goma . the d. r. c's government accuses, were wander of backing the m 23 fighters,

which could gully has denied the renewed conflict, his force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. in recent months. malcolm web has more from a displaced persons camp near goma, who tens of thousands of people have arrived here at the can you, regina idp camp following recent advances by m. $23.00, which is widely believed to be a proxy of neighboring rwanda. the border is just over their verandas, to kilometers over there. these people came from villages to the north and east. the united nations children funds is about 90000 of been display by the recent fighting. 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 murder

city. about 3000000 people were just on the outskirts of it. people here say that that terrified of m. 2310 years ago when it took over sways of 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 dire conditions, with little clean water, very inadequate shelter, and very little food. a russian appointed official in ukraine. her son, regent says the mass evacuation of civilians has ended. but the ukrainian government is described move as force deportation is force is el, continuing the advance to retake control of the region. good. if you're on the

where the, we're now for people who left to right been part of care. so region for the left bank or in the sea for condition, the recreation is over. people may now leave individually if they fly via the hotline, but i repeat, they must do it individually as of today. as i beg, has more from the new were i in central ukraine? well, we've been hearing about the evacuation for a while. the russian president vladimir putin has endorsed evacuation. but i did recreation when extra import us over the last few days. that's because both sides have accused each other. i've talked to that done for the up 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 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 has been reports of explosions. although because of media restrictions, we can't go and see what or if anything has been hit and around her son the is the screening amongst the ukrainians that something is going to happen. and her son is very important to the russian is the only regional capital that they've managed to take them to the dock of the war is the only point the west side of that river to prove that the russian troops occupied her song as a gateway to the south is also important for fresh water supplies to an ex premier in russia and back in 2014 the ukrainians cut off the water. the russians took course on. they reinstated that water supply. in fact, it was one of the reasons president putin gave for the invasion of ukraine's the un high commissioner for human rights is urge egypt to immediately release jail. to gyptian, british political activists, al abdel fata, he's been on a 7 months hunger strike in prison or salt drinking water 2 days ago when the comp

27 summit began in egypt. the un says abdul fat as life is in great danger and is cooling on the authorities to fulfill the human rights obligations. now cats are 2022 will be the 1st world cup for wales since 1958 former rail, madrid and tottenham star garrath bail will lead the side. and as paul reached discovered, the welsh team have been shaking up their nation sporting priorities. garrath bail a true well class player about to lead his country to the well couple. 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 europe 2016 with wales not about achievement for a country of 3000000 people. doris bale started out on the pitches here. a school in cardiff that is help this small country punch well above its white on the

sporting stage. which church school has also produced, a national rugby captain and the tour to france when i'm not even my father when my grandfather seen. well, it's hanging well. kelsey gray opportunity. it no vase was. he elizabeth kyla quaylon is very sites in his they've known yet not. bah, bless me. the last time wales made the finals was 1958 in sweden left cliff jones and his teammates went out in the quarter finals to brazil. i'm there. i'm a good living one and the end. the thanks to we're welcome, debut goal from a 17 year old legend in the making. nobody'd heard of perry, i can all you remember vividly is pick the ball up in his own off. and he's grown posh, 3 welsh defenders, or you smack the ball and jacket, his manager just to, oh, we thought like, who is this? who is this kid? nobody wrote in. i mean that 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 emotional about 2016 and hearing that i'm from the welsh. i'm from the 1st time in a major tournament, but i think going to catch our and hearing it again, the usa in that 1st game, that will be something else. wales may not need to come to the spirit of 958 when they kick off on november 21st. the spirits of 2022 seems to be enough for re how they're called it. right. one person who bought a parable ticket.
