hello again. i'm nora kaleil. welcome to our continued coverage of the us mid term elections. 2020 team will get the latest in just a moment. but 1st, let's take a look at some of the days. other top news stories. a rescue ship carrying 230 for my goods is headed to france off to italy, refused to allow them to disembark. the ocean. viking is the 4th vessel to demand permission to dock in the country. this week it's on the migrants who are deemed vulnerable have been allowed on to shore protection of rescue vessels is seen as part of a crackdown by its leaves. new fall, right? government fathers has broken out during demonstrations in su, don's capital, people protesting against last year's military coup. and of course, for the restoration of civilian rule. they've been frequent demonstrations for months with security forces cracking down on the protesters. more than a 1000 people have been indicted in iran as nationwide anti government protest

continue to rock the country. the country's judiciary has bound to crack down on those rioting. the authorities appear to have deployed mounted police and the capital as i tried to stifle demonstrations. now, despite the crackdown students at tech rons, shari university, have been seen singing in protests. the demonstrations were sparks by the death of master armine, who died in police custody. the un high commissioner for human rights as, as the egypt to release at jailed egyptian british political activists ala abdul fatter. he's been on a 7 month hunger strike in prison and stopped drinking water 2 days ago. when the cop 27th summit began in egypt, faster has been held in jail for several years with no charge. back is on said the journalist who was killed last month in kenya was targeted. arshad sharif was shot dead in nairobi nearly 2 months after he left pakistan. a police report said officers at the open fire on the vehicle sharif was trapping in when it drove

with chase claim that he was born in columbia and his passport was issued on the basis of false information. ah. okay, well, it's back to the us now where one of the most consequential mid term elections is entering its final hours. voters have been streaming to the poles by their millions, with control of congress and the future of president jo biden's agenda hanging in the balance. falling stations have closed across much of the country, including the critical swing states of arizona and wisconsin. in the past few hours at stake, all 435 seats in the house of representatives, and 35 of 100 seats in the senate. republicans are predicted to take the house off the senate is on a razor edge post just the u. s. economy is at, is

a top concern that some say what is really at stake is democracy. let's take a look at the overall senate race for you there. we've got 40 for the democrats, 37 for the republicans, just to remind you that the republicans need 51 seats to win control of the senate from democrat them, cuz i need 50 because they have the vice president common harris's tie, breaking vote here. we've got a number of republican projected winners coming out already. florida. we've heard that marker rubio, he's been announced south carolina. we've got arkansas to in oklahoma, indiana, kentucky, and alabama. meanwhile, democrats are the projected winners out there in new york. that's a very, very deep blue's state. also vermont, not surprising. illinois, connecticut and maryland also called for the democrats. well,

the big 1st big development, shall we say, the big, big one of the night so far has been in florida. is it been quite a substantial lea? i think quite such a significantly substantial lead for marco rubio with 57 percent of the vote that he's now got a 3rd term in office and the florida governor. he has also run in this one in this very read state. rhonda sands is there. he has got another extremely convincing lead at 58.17 percent beating charlie krist way and above. of course these winds are not indicative of the whole race that's going to hinge on a handful of swing states, such as arizona where the poles have closed. there we've got mark kelley, he's the democratic con incumbent and let. so go and look at the arkansas sarah

huckabee sanders, as we heard before. she might not like a familiar face. we saw her standing in the pressroom during a trump presidency where she is taking a convincing. when over chris jones, 52.61 of votes there. she's got only 15 percent of reporting, so we're not quite ready to call that one yet. let's have a look at michigan. the governor race, there is one of the closely watched contestants. hey, we've got to dixon taking 44.73. now she's actually a trump support, so she is an election deny, or she's running against the incumbent. gresham whitner, $53.00 to potentially taking a bit of a lead there, but again, only 8 percent of the votes have been counted. so we're not going to call that one for some time. couple of senate sees have been called, of course. so let's see how the u. s. senate is shaping out 100 seats in total, and we're only $35.00 seats up for play. now we got the republicans at 40. we've

got the democrats at $41.00. looking good for both parties. not ready to cool either of them yet. let's speak to heidi joe castro. she's joining ist out from madison wisconsin. and i you to pull the closing in about half an hour. the how is motion going? well, this state is yet another one where the control of the u. s. senate, as you are just toggling though viewers about is at stake. here, we're looking at a very tight u. s. senate race. it is the incumbent, ron johnson, republican who is facing off against his democratic. this is challenger, mandela barnes, that the states current, lieutenant governor, please me, a jump in that. a florida, a ron desantis is giving his acceptance speech assessment based attacks. we

took the hitch, we weathered the storm, but we stood our ground. we did that back down. we had the conviction to guide us and we had the courage to lead. we made promises. oh, we made please. this is to the people in florida and we have delivered those promise here and say today after 4 years that people have delivered their verdict. frida is here to say, oh, i

do very much. thank you. no thanks to the overwhelming support of the people of florida. we not only one election, we have rewritten the political mat. ah, thank you for honoring us with a win for the ages. ah, i want to thank all of our campaign staff from campaign manager janera back down. this was the best run a campaign in the history of florida politics. ah, one of the wonderful volunteers who worked so hard to get out the vote, your support means the world, the k c and i, god bless you and thank you now it's a lot easier to run a good campaign when you've got a great record to run on and i would not have been able to see the level of

accomplishments that we saw unless i had outstanding personnel working in the executive office of the governor as well as heading state agencies. these folks worked hard to implement our agenda. they believed that our agenda and the results have been historic. thank you for your support. we're fig. you too bye amy de tony. ah, thank you to palm beach county. ah, now we're still telling the birds, but it's clearly apparent that this election we will have garnered a significant number of votes from people who may not have voted for me 4 years ago . and i just want to let you know i am honored to have earned your trust and your

support ah, and most important of all. thank you to the greatest 1st lady in all 50 for being a great wave, giving unwavering support, being a tremendous mother to our 3 young children and serving as an example for women throughout this state, especially going through the battle of cancer. she is remarkable. ah no to day. ah,

now today is the combination of the $22022.00 fall elections. but in reality, americans have been voting for many years now. they've been voting with their feet and the. 6 result of that behavior has been just as stark as our land side victory today. c states in cities governed by left, this politicians have seen crime skyrocket. they've seen their taxpayers abuse. they've seen medical authoritarianism, impose and they've seen american principles discarded. the woke agenda has caused millions of americans to leave these jurisdictions for greener pastures. ah, now this great exodus of americans for those folks, florida, for so many of them as served as the promised land. lee. we have

embraced freedom. we have maintained law an order. we have protected the rights of parents. we have respected our taxpayers and we reject woke. id ology. ah, we cite the heat in the legislature. we'd like to work in the skis. we fight the walk in the corporations. we will never ever surrender to the wolf. bob. i mean, it was on the services that is on sunday. he is giving his except for speech that in florida. i've been webber, is a republicans trash just informed us, representative from minnesota and he now joins us from washington. d. c. so, so far a good night for republicans, a very convincing wind by ron de santis and marco rubio in florida. yeah,

so looks like a very big group. florida was very big. it doesn't necessarily tell us what's going to happen the rest of the country, but it's worth noting that for much a recent history, florida was a very swaying people can remember. back to the recall on the georgia bush, al gore election 20 some years ago were florida decided the presidential election through rica. so it's something that this state has now become is solidly republican state. we had one son says saying that he is fighting the way you come in. this is a state that is really sort of starting to position itself isn't as antique. california was is the woke that he's talking about boy, that is a very important question. more important than it was credited with being in the course of the selection and going to rise in importance in the next 2 years in my

view. oh, so, so with the, the phrase woke in of itself doesn't tell a whole lot, but it talks about a set of social values that are really being progressed through all the institutions of america, about race and gender and certain other issues, but mainly about race and gender, and it's, i believe it's one of the big underlying sleeper issues in the country that people are tired of being told. that if the, whatever they are, if they're a white person, they're racist and they can't express their views on sexuality, particularly here are the children and schools without being called homophobic and sexist. and there are other issues, a lot of like that. i mean, it's not so much in my view that the american people are be basically becoming

ah, hostile or intolerant. they just don't like to be told that they can't talk about spirit. thanks. and that's what i think that what the status is saying in florida as a who are sick of this, you know, that corporations want to talk about gender and race and they're hiring in all their own systems. okay. but let's acknowledge we're going to talk about ok. the key on the other side, of course i got the conservatives going also so far to the, at the edge in st. fall, right? they've gone and companies across the country, republican governors, calling for specter access to abortion, in some cases saying that no access should be allowed a tool in any circumstances say later the 2 sides of becoming polar opposite. where is the middle ground? yeah, yes. yes, you're right. but i'm not aware of any could sure alludes that. have said we

shouldn't be able to discuss the abortion issue. i'm aware of many liberal outlets in the media and elsewhere that have said, we really shouldn't discuss these other issues concerns. yes, they have strong points of view and they should be rated when they're not saying, shut down discussion. what about the election denies? they are saying that things shouldn't be discussed. they're saying that elections on tape and one you've got so many people in the republican ballad who deny that the 2020, the election deniers? i think the deniers are wrong. the election was decided fairly wanting money to buy one, but they're not saying don't discuss it. but exactly the opposite reason that people are angry with us is because they are insisting that we do discuss it. no, i think that they're wrong. i think just for the dangerous discussion for them to be discussing because they, they convince people that they're right and that leads to situations that he's to

massive anger and situations like that january 6th rise. should those things be discussed when you believe that wrong, and most people believe that they are clearly for i think that they are wrong, but i absolutely think they should be the best. i'm a believer in the 1st amendment. i do not think we're better over the country if we decide to shut down discussions of any of these issues, including the election and january 6 as much as i disagree with the people who deny the election and is watched. i disagree with the people who may have been scared of january 6th. they should be the way that america has always succeeded in the country is because we have a free and open discussion that is not usually permitted another cartridge laurel. and sometimes it's, it's painful and sometimes it results in very deep revisions. but we do not result . we do not resolve these issues by shutting them down. and what i'm saying is, i, you know, i disagree with many in my party or in my, in the logical route,

way on some of these issues. but they're not the ones that are saying don't talk about it. it's the left. that is saying, we can't talk about it, we can't talk what the media. we can't talk about it on social media. that's what they're saying. at hey, then rabbit. well was sending talking about it, head on out to 0. thanks very much for taking the time to allow that discussion to happen. and you have talked about, and i appreciate all your fantastic. good, nice. okay, well let's take a closer look now at the georgette senate numbers because it tends to be leaning democrat that's towards the republican rafael warnock. he is leading against how shall wilka, who is one of those election denies. he is a very controversial candidates there in georgia and we go on to the governor raised them this again. no, not again. this one is leading republican brian can actually, that was expected. stacy, a bus making her 2nd attempt to asked the incumbent,

not doing so well there in georgia. let's take a look at the overall picture of the senate map of the united sate. we've got democrats on 41 that seats republicans on 40 at the moment. the senate had spit 5050 with democrats being cast the deciding vote with their vice president. so republicans need to get to 51. they're not doing too badly there. they are projected winners in these states hair in red. we've got the democrats there in blue. the yellow are the big races that we are going to be keeping a very close eye on that pennsylvania, georgia, and nevada. let's bring you now. a look at the lower chamber of congress as the house of representatives were at the beginning of the night. all 435 seats were up for grabs were getting some results there. some early lead for an early lead for

republicans not doing so well for the democrats, but very early days, but not taking this as indicative of the race at the end. they need 218 to when a majority republicans, currently democrats, partly hold the majority, the republicans looking to take that from them all thoughts, all that the republicans will manage to do that. let's go live now to john hanjin. he's in georgia. so a joint looks like rough, our warnock is taking a bit of an early leave there. how's it looking? well, here they're already celebrating a little while ago. you, you heard a singer sing, we've already one we present you wanted to put that 5 out there for rob a r, warnock. but it's important to know that those numbers can really shift over the course. you and i, we have less than half of the states registered voters,

you know, having voted and so far there's 7000000 registered voters in the state. we don't expect them all to vote with their point. is it? when those votes are counted some time, the early boats tend to be absentee votes, early voting, and we know for a fact that those have skewed toward the democrat wrap l. warnock. so what will be interesting is over the course of the night, whether that shift stir, herschel walker, we've seen in the, in the last few numbers of votes, they shifted back actually toward warnock. but i think it's a little too early to put much faith in those numbers. nevertheless, here there is are said, have celebration. we should know that if neither candidate gets 50 percent of this vote, this will go on to or run off in december. so still not clear whether anybody going to get that when you were pointing out a little earlier. those margins in florida were huge, low out margins beyond what the polls were showing. here what we're seeing is

pretty much what we expected at this stage in the race. so this is a nail biter and it could go either way. it is i don't, we'll leave that. so enjoy already policy atmosphere back in atlanta, georgia. thanks very much. one moment. hi, jake ashtray, joins us now live from madison and wisconsin. height is the best time we've been checking in with you for a while. so just but he's up to speed on what results were saying. sure. are in poles here, close very recently. so too early to report any results, but we know there are nail biter races here as well. and this wings state, namely another u. s. senate race where it's still been neck and neck between the incumbent. republican rob johnson who's endorsed by donald trump and a democratic challenger. mandela barnes, the states who tenant governor now barnes wins. he would become the 1st black us senator to represent the state of wisconsin. my res, between those 2 have been bitter until the end. ron johnson attacking mandela

barnes for being soft on crime. that messaging seem to have some effect on boaters as barnes pulling numbers really went down to the recent weeks. he was just trailing johnson by 2 points. by the time voters hit the poles this morning and it does seem to be a high turn out in the term race here in wisconsin. 35 percent greater than the last mid term. because not only is this us senate race at stake, which again is another pivotal race that could determine the which party controls the senate. but there's also the governor's race here in wisconsin. that is yet another very even race. tony evers, the incumbent democrat, facing his challenger, him michaels, another trump endorsed candidate there and a lot of allegations of potential voter fraud already. you know,

just minutes after the polls had closed in wisconsin with michaels, the republican candidate having said before that if he were to win this governorship in wisconsin, that republicans will never again lose a race in wisconsin. okay, heidi, thanks very much for joining us. we'll go up now to washington d. c. that were of course, wouldn't particle have is today inside and hosting a panel of guests for us. patty, thanks so much. and welcome back to our special covert of the mid term elections. i'm joined by good run ingle. she's the senior correspondent of, of for and bureau chief for air g, german, radio and television, ambassador neal, parson, former bastard, trinidad, and tobago, to united states and mexico and olivia knox. he is the washington post national correspondent at anchor of the daily 2. 02 in excellent news letter guys i wanted

to talk to you because it obviously america's paying attention to mid terms. but i want to know how much the rest of the world is. you've spent a lot of time in europe, brussels. are they watching? do they care about this? oh yeah, a lot. we have specials in the news. we been preparing for this night. so yes, we are very interested of course, but why? well, because we are realizing that, i mean, historically speaking, america is a big l. i a big partner so, and we rely on the u. s. in so many things. i mean, we just talking about nato and we talking about the one, the train and so on and so forth. and we've all realized that after the election of joe biden, that this might be the last trends that lendy president that we see in this relationship. so yeah, we catalog on the outcome because we see where that might bring us within the next 2 years. however, you and beth yes, no. nealus fine,

absolutely. i mean there's an old saying, any corbin letting out it stayed sneezes. the korean catches of cooler than 9 months. in some instances, pneumonia within thick so absolutely. attention has be to what is happening in the united states, not just any wider, curb and little so central america, the latin american region, because i economies, he took g geographic proximity to type of arrangements. we have depends on the survival of the region. so yes, let me at, if you look at the polls pew does these poll of how much other countries trust a current u. s. president? obviously under trump, there was a lot of distress there biden, when he 1st came into office that these, that majority of countries said that they had confidence for him to do the right thing. but that's been sliding into last year. what's behind that lived a couple of factors. i mean, one is that they've realized that a lot of what any american president does is america 1st. so they were delighted to say america is back when biden for started. and then they started to see some things that they weren't too happy about. they noticed that a lot of the tariffs that donald trump had imposed in his time,

his office on european goods and chinese goods weren't really coming off all that quickly. and then there was the withdrawal from afghanistan, long time policy priority of president biden, but not handled in close coordination with america's allies. and that concern. and then you had the so called all casteel, which is the big deal in which the united states, great britain, australia worked together and basically ended a french contract to build nuclear submarines for, for the australian. it's and they did this pretty secretly, the french were furious and. 1 not only the french and not only different were furious and said at one of the top federal said this is just, this is just like donald trump, but without the tweets. and so you've seen a number of policies that the joe biden has implemented that have unsettled allies in a much more traditional way than donald trump's unsettled allies. but still, that's a big factor in why that number has gone down. me ask you this and i'll start with you ambassadorial. that closing message for the democrats was this could be the end

of democracy. is that bringing home turn to people across the globe? are they concerned that america could actually stop eating democracy? i mean, what is happening until the lease is clearly of considered a but just like this lake in the united states is partisanship in almost every other country. there is multiple views on his shoes. so as fuzz hardy, that it states heads in terms of its democratic principles and erosion of that, that the ado potentially lose another that, that democracy, it sends it, it sort of emboldens other up. so quite authority when jim's elsewhere. but it also sent some, some trepidation in suddenly democratic states within the region. because if, if it had happened, united states isn't coming. gus. and particularly for example, when you look at latin america a, well the 25.
