or the, there's no limit to how a dream continue to study in your own event, you know, counter and things the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm sammy's a them, this is in use our live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes. the flood victims in eastern spring shout had told the king in protest against the government's response to the catastrophic floods in valencia. the wave of his rainy strikes can

at least 23 palestinians across garza, across the board of fi drones, from 11 and target minute 3 bases. and all the news. while while i'm lebanese towns in the south sausage buys riley jets floss, i've had to go ahead in washington dc with our special election coverage. yours is experiencing more frequent, severe weather events because of climate change. our panel of experts are going to weigh in and what the candidates propose to do about it or not the we start with breaking news from east and spain way. king philippe has been booed and head cold while visiting the flood ravaged regional valencia. the monarch was accompanied by prime minister pamela sanchez, while visiting the worst affected towns that have been protests against the

government responds to that is all set which is now killed at least 214 people. tens of thousands of soldiers and police officers have been deployed to assist in the rescue effort. let's go straight to sonya guy go joins us now from pipe pulse out on the outskirts of valencia. so the monica had got a 1st time taste of public dissatisfaction. indeed, and that was certainly not a surprise because when, when we 1st arrived to on the 1st day and was speaking to people who had been isolated, trapped in effect, they was furious that they know any have to deal with. they hara, of the situation is unprecedented. situation which they've never had to deal with in their lives. but they also said that because they would cost or if they had no electricity, they had no food, no water, no way of communication to the outside. well,

how horrific the situation was hit and they said so many of them told us that it was that sense of isolation. they didn't know if anyone was coming out to help them . we didn't see any of the main rescue services here on those early days as well. it was an army of folding chairs and said, and the blame for the people here was laid firmly at the hands of buell thirty's. now just to make things clear though, however there is a bit of confusion in, in terms of who actually has the ultimate responsibility hit. the national meet urology agency stated that it gave the warning the red warning of this unusual weather event when and that funds and that it communicated that to the uh, to the people, to the local authorities here. and what people are saying is that they received and a lot of to is huge. the damaging a lot of cards and they're still working to recover it. so much of this is off design. sonya,

well do people blow in the authorities full the slow pace of response. so the lack of free warning we've got some connection issues there with sonya, but of course this is coming across the back of those floods. bad. that's fine. hundreds of lives in the valencia region. by default, one of the hardest hit areas was dealing with a deluge of, of wolf and mines. and obviously, the moment going back to the shows that the authorities do count on listening to the people. but it didn't, that visit didn't go exactly the way i imagined that he imagined a roof. that is a lecture. you know? all right, we're going to come to the roofs in the moments on. so we're looking at some of

those latest pictures that came in on the moment visit, clearly visible the depth of feeling on the streets and responds to what they would see as a figure of authority visit to the town. as we were hearing from our correspondents on your go go to some this dissatisfaction with how via pharmacies dealt and responded to this crisis. all right, let's try again with sonya now. and so sonya i was asking, take us through what in particular is moving the younger people, what did they blame of pharmacy for? well, they really do blame them for the fact that there was little preparation given. first of all, when we asked people whether they go to know, let's, because over the course the next couple of days off to it, we did head sporadically,

phone and lots that were disseminated through the mobile phone. 1 mobile phone companies that were just flossing out from the phones warning of, of, of move bad weather up, but they didn't receive any of that. a tool in the lead up to this most devastating event. now there's only a trickle of water running through the ravine here in that that runs through the central town. it when top 5 nieces and then when it eventually reached ground level, it went up another further to meet as no one had any idea that this was going to be the case. they said they received no building. they knew that was fast feedback with us. but there was nothing to suggest, they say that this was going to be a disaster of such magnitude. so with that in mind, the or forward piece of a plane primarily is the local authorities. but that, of course has drifted out to was the national government as well, even though that kind of service really is provided 5, the regional. sorry, jeez. what's cold here in valencia as a general?

that's all these kinds of emergency services come on to the re max. so now what you have is you have some kinds of political power play, cekada ring between the national governments and the regional government. both. not exactly blame each other, but spacing, who had which portfolio to kind of address these issues. and as far as the national government is concerned, that was very much the, we mentioned the regional government, nevermind. nevertheless, those people at this moment when you see the walking around without any of that necessities, they don't really care who it was, who was surprised to have the ultimate control here. they all furious furious, so they have to wait days for this kind of response. the reaction, be the all me only managed to mobilize hey yesterday, as well as all the rest of the services, such as buy a fights as they say that was too late. and you have so much dave, re still to clear here, but most of it so far has been done by local residents and volunteers from outside

the town. and at this point, you said it's taking this long for the response to come together at this point. what is the response focusing on simply recovery efforts, or is there any hope of still finding people? well, that was the report of one. so 5 a who wouldn't buzz out and stuff today? uh that was in a different region. however, this has been the worst hit region. so far i didn't 5 for that. it has the largest number of confirmed that smooth and 50. so far. however, there are thousands of people who are missing. many people still say they, they can't seem to co ordinate exactly where to go when, how to report that friends loved ones are missing. we even went to the church a on sunday morning to speak with the priest to see if there had been any news

about how they were going to prepare any services for the parties that had been found. he said it was going to take weeks for any of that to occur because they have to send all of the bodies back to a make shift move which has been placed in the city of valencia in the palace of justice. the then they have to be confirmed in madrid, and then only then will that be able to be some kind of ceremonies full of for relatives to be able to bury the loved ones. so have been some reports of looting and disturbances has always have been restored now, but i think initially and we saw this ourselves. so when people were in that space of desperation, when they had no clean water, they was guessing. does he water from the river at the bottom of the town to try and see if they could using that bathrooms? but then people became desperate after about 48 hours without food or water. and they went into supermarkets to get goods,

but now they have also been all the reports about $1880.00 plus arrest being made of loosing as well. police have been asked you for was making arrest with that. but that is really a tiny minority of, of what's happening in terms of, of, of law and order. generally, people have been bonding together in the communities what i'm helping in any which way they can. a lot of people, so extremely relieved that some of the more official rescue services have come here who are starting to come in with heavy equipment with heavy machinery to try and clear out some of that rubble. but they read that is pretty much everywhere in the town. if you can even see behind me as well. what they fear, of course, is that once they clear away the rubble, they all going to find more remains of people who what trucks in that deluge and spouse is where it's also causing a problem as well. because of course, it's been days now and you have health work is he who say that it's now that's

buried entering of into a very dangerous time because of course the water around the surrounding the town and in the town is bill feet, it's dusty, it's contaminated, i'm mrs. going to prove to be a source of infections to people if they don't castle. all right, thanks so much to sonya guy. it goes that reports into us life from spain, but i sold them out to roof at at. oh, he's electra in put because science and a senior research or of the company attends university of my thread, joins us live from the spanish capital. let me start by asking you we're a solid seas called of god, surprised by the scale of this flood. i get so i mean, um they were very surprised. otherwise they were dealing with say, i mean were weren't doing something something different. the main problem here is that this morning, the volunteer and we're not allowed to get into into helping be in the,

in the area that ends by the flow. so the people i think was very upset because 1st of all the volunteers were not able to get into the area they clinical. um, do you know the how that was waiting to the area was, i mean that was not the right to save or of pointing the in the area damaged by the flow. so both issues have an impact on the population. and of course there were like shouting out to the pain, the queen, the prime minister, and the press end of the, of the autonomous community, a volumes you why was the march pre warning and free preparation? i mean, the thing is that they, i, i believe that the, the, the prime minister, the, and a king they were, i mean the 1st of all we have, i look to the, to the, you may choose that we're showing the,

the arrival the king. there were so impacting on the, on the population, same stand. we're not getting anything for several days. and the king just arrived with lots of cars, lots of good. they did call me t, combining him and all that. they were some and some guy safety supervision yet yesterday. they mean, i mean it is with people from the 5 minutes, the people from the software like it got to work upon us were coming to and no reason if i can kind of find my, my question is why didn't we see, for example, the full, the flaws, evacuations, uh maybe some kind of, you know, preparations and things puts in place to try and avoid some of the desks and destruction. oh, okay. yeah. yeah, i guess um and yeah, well that's a good question. it seems that no one, no one understands why the present. look, it's almost community valencia. you didn't, you know set the alarm at the in the morning on the tuesday morning. is that on the tuesday evening?

um the seems they were sent out. they are coming from the mentor early go. um services. uh, are you never know the day before, even among the monday and even the week before the worst time of their coming into that uh no one knows this day why the press the end of they are almost community valencia the then you know, if i create population of several points on that. we have also to mention that it several times the alerts were coming into into the certain areas and nothing happens. so i guess we don't have in spain q into the side of these tests. there's killed sir. if i may like it is the case where he spends in the us or in cuba or in other parts of or that will, that, you know, use to get some of these set some time at these testers. but the real thing is that may need to write an area is now one of the main targets of the taint and climate change that we don't have to learn out of these. these tests are in order to,

you know, put some measures in other times. but also in building and housing and other another part another another construction issues because it and lots of, of houses. how's the sound everybody's station are a name floating area may meaning that when you have a big can these kind of be faster and more than 600 leaders for berm correct remover, do a wheel high flows and you know, all these spoke to population will be affected at so um, as i mentioned before, no one is still knows why the president of the community didn't even said the alarm and the state gonna for why he didn't ask for more help coming from the central stage. at the beginning of of this week, the just ask for help like 2 days ago, they ask for the units are, is to come into the area. but he's nothing else. i mean,

if we have to look to these tester, the, the, the size of these tests there, we can see basically that a 5000 soldiers that are not enough to clean up on to do know and try to find all the bodies that 5 be probably under the under the month. all right, thank you so much for your analysis. sharing your insights into this roof that out of thank you. the now is right, the forces autonomy thing, residential areas in northern garza stepping up the month long siege. when did palestinians were taken to hospital off to early morning strikes and jamalia and beta that here dozens have been killed in recent days across the strip. most of them in the north, the destruction is overwhelming. and ty,

areas have been essentially caught off blocking access to major roads, rescue team say they cannot reach the into some of whom a trapped on the rubble ms. right. the tank also talk to the polio vaccination center, enjoying at least 4 children in the past, 48 hours more than 50 children have been killed in the north. and what do you and coles? israel's indiscriminate strikes? a tiny masked move joins us live from data by in central gaza. so how do we have any idea right now as we speak, how many people are trapped under rubble? the rescue teams are not able to reach the sun is quite difficult to know exactly how many people i tried. the mistake under the rubble is as a result of the ongoing math bombardment of the northern part of the ga. so midland did my on july the refuge account and the reason for that is the civil defense

department is not operational in the gaza strip. the members of the civil defense department are threatened by this really monitor that they would become a target if the oper operate officially in the areas in big la or the entire northern part of district. but what we know so far, judging from di what i witnesses told a surviving family members and we spoke to give us an assessment of how many people were shouldering inside the zones. or for example, the attack on the family a few days ago of loss. that was last week, a 126 people from one single family were killed within seconds of the really monetary attacks on the 5 of story building that gives you an idea of how many people are being over crowded. the space because simply there's really monetary destroyed the vast majority of the residential buildings. the public facilities include evaluation centers, manage and operated by, by on or what setting them on, fire floors, and people into being cornered in these small spaces today alone. we're looking at 20 free people go there. 13 of them only,

and best buy at the northern part of district. that's the area where people with force enjoy evacuation, but end up being kills inside these areas. what are the tragedies that we're looking at right now is people who are being separated either they are in the northern part of the tape and some of them are here in the central part of the sort of progress at no contract whatsoever. from yesterday the top we had 6 people were killed in a bridge. right. you can't water them. a lot of them happen to be having to be here alone and his family ends garza city. and the only way that we, that he, that the family could bid for world for this particular person was a, through a video called that we helped here manage, connecting them to the internet. this is what they see and looks like here at deluxe. the hospital back for me and mark had to show you my brother in no time he had was killed by and he's really thrown in obligation. or if he can, he was working as a drive on the humanitarian aid convoys traveling between the north and the south

cause i got stranded in central garza when these res denied the entrance of age into the north. he stayed an authorized for 6 months away from the last communication we had with his mother. he told her how much he misses her. any hopes to see who assumed the terms of the tea and a few months to something on his mother's stranded in summer and causes that you know like any mother, she is entitled to grieve over her dates. son, i want you to give her a chance to pay the final respects to him. yes. i searched for an intimate connection. somebody hines, the company, these were very difficult moments. any mother would venture, hold her son and say good bye. i wish i was with you. i wish i was killed next to these one who works to him over the phone. this large crowd,

the locks saw hospital that he gathered this morning to have been for a well for one of the people who were was killed last night in the evening as part of where his refuge account. the reason was seeing this large crowd is because his mother isn't gone and it has been not very well for her son. and we relied on internet connection just to connect the mother with the stay in and goes on to say good by the last good bye to her son who was taking the house, but of his final resting place in one of the graveyards nearby. in such a heart breaking, seeing, we could not very see, and the mother crying so hard on the small camera of the fun as he was bidding farewell to her son. everybody gathered here in support of that mother who just lost here. hard hearing in the center of the area anymore was just data from the central air. and they've got to tell us is why the forces that reportedly

employed civilian companies to flatten homes in the southern gauze. this, if you open off a video uploaded by an employee, shows in bulldozing through ruins with plans to destroy a local mosque. nicole or the search of the permission to talk a whole new about getting the ball most most. i mean based on the, on she's on. so what's missing off of i'm going to be done with it more than once. way do i know that daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project. also a former advisor and these ready prime minister's office joins us now live from london. so daniel, while we seeing companies being hide to flatten homes and mosques, one of the reasons is savvy, the, there is a certain drain on the uh, is raising the system of israel does not have the endless supply of military. if was obvious,

there is some struggle to get people to so many of conducted long towards the future. but there are other reasons that are idea of logical i need cannot make financial. it's not the 1st time the one sees a will profit sharing. i'm the one season must notes. what is unusual is the degree i think called radish, of ideological, of joy, in conducting these will crimes. and this is being done in the cold text. all quite transparent public were aware of some plans to continue committing more crimes because the political plant is not a ceasefire. a, by the way, the you leaks out of these ready prime minister's office, that he very likely violated israel's own little eliciting material to try and undermine. so, see slide told, but this is also part of a longstanding political plan to dis, destroy, stalled displace. that's the general plan. there's all the things i'm going to have

some of these. oh, but with the battery, we're told that it's not just these ready governments, the us government, the, and the royalty governments, a part of these times to bring in the subcontractors. and so what we all see is the continuation of intensification. now not just of cost readable, crimes, not just the subsidized for crimes, but a profitable daniel. is that why we've been seeing a resurgence in statements by israeli government ministers talking about settling gone? so for example, let's see if we can pull up a graphic here. these right administer for social equality and the advancement of the status of women may go on saying on the 21st of october, watts in the end, will we do that will really hurt them only taking co tree will really hurt them. it was also hubs on october, the 21st, also speaking at

a conference on settling gauze of the national security minister. it's a mazda and give a saying, if we want to, we can renew settlement in garza, is there a link between videos of private companies, bulldozing mosques on homes and, and statements like that. there is a link sammy and why we seeing this now. for several reasons, festival we've seen it. ready any, anyone for who displacement has palestinians asked me cleansing, and his resettlement is new as a pound, you know, paying attention. i'm not just talking about during this period of destruction in garza, but for generations for decades because why is the goals and ok lation most of the refugee and the 1st place that that's not the we've had years of his rel threatened me a 2nd, but now what we see is that people are getting the feeling that it is possible

that now i don't think this is what's gonna happen, either consistencies defeated. by the way, what they see is the general plan made public a long time ago. is really ministerial government documents about removing the population from dogs and they now see that the northern garza, it's being implemented so you do have to definitely recruit body as the main force behind that conference. to prepare for reset backing garza and having those security sub contracting private firms as part of this effort. so relieves, as i said, some of the pressure over the idea. and crucially, none of this would be possible if israel were being held to account, but what they have done is they tested it. does the international court of justice, urgent provisional measures because of possible genocide move, well, does it move the west? does it need the officers to spend to trade suspended sanctions of put forth?

can we get away with anything we can in that case? let's go ahead and do it. so absolute, those who have guarantee this rate, impunity off for the complicit in. it's just heartbreaking. i cannot watch these seats and what we're seeing in northern garza, i'm getting the growing appetite of the extreme is because impunity is a hands maiden to this genocide will extreme thank you so much, daniel. liza from the us. mit least project. thank you so much. hi is riley false, is i've launch the attacks across several parts of lebanon on sunday. and as strike hit, the residential area and the coastal city asylum shopping civilians on the rubble of damage building to the south and novelty. it strikes landed near the named government hospital. it comes as full of actuation warnings were issued in the east and the call valley region by these are the ami. they claim that targeting has the

law sites and binds back. let's go live now to child stratford in bay road. so. busy always seeing in terms of those exchanges that have been picking up today. so yes, i mean, more strikes and a number of different places in the south and the east of, of lebanon, a large straw icon of what looks to be a residential lodge residential building in the outskirts at the time of, of the city of upside on an area code holler at site a. so fall we are here on the porch of at least 3 people killed in that strike. and at least 9 others injured the site and it's been hit at least a couple of times at least twice in the last few days. and indication of an escalation for the new design, the main, for one of the better was say, to revolt preparations for these right. it is for the south. we're also getting

drips of information with respect to what's understood to be, to families that are buried underneath the rubble following and is ready as strike um, almost a week ago now in the town. okay. um, which is in southern lebanon. and so i understood that there are 21 people that were missing. we're, we're now hearing certainly a couple of hours ago reports that 5 bodies have been recovered at least another 16 still missing. it's highly unlikely. nobody's expecting anybody to, to be still alive. following that attack, but so certainly what the local authorities just saying civil defense and the red cross. the saying what this highlights is the lack of access the israel is giving them. they've been waiting to get to this site for a long time. and we have similar reports in various different locations across level to the emergency services ambulance man. having great difficulty to get to

some of these strikes sites to, to rescue the injured. and the situation is a, um is that is a graphic, a graphic illustration of that the right south side. so that, thanks so much the so now just 2 days to go before those who's in the us head to the polls to it likes the next president that's handed over to patrick call. hey, and the team in washington dc for more foss, special coverage coffee. thank you and hello, and welcome to washington dc. this is our live rooftop studio overlooking the white house in their final push for vote. democratic presidential candidate, cala harris and her republican rival donald trump had been campaigning in the 7 battleground states. results there could determine the outcome of this year's election. polls suggests a tight race,

but even worse and in advance in the middle east are complicating matters for harris. profiting protests at some of her rallies are correspond it. kimberly hop. it reports from north carolina, a vice president, colonel harrison, maybe surprised appearance on what of america's most popular late night comedy shows a lot, saturday night live. so i'm going to vote for i raise any chance you are registered in pennsylvania. that the close race between harris and her opponent, former president donald trump, she says is no joke. and one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime, and we still have work to do here. we're supposed to voters from the so called spring state of north carolina, a state trump one and 2020 by just 70000 votes. this is not someone who was

thinking about how to make your life better. and this is someone who is increasingly unstable, of revenge. it has been the case for dozens of harrison's rallies. it's all right. in north carolina, the vice president was again interrupted 5 pro palestinian protesters, forcing her to pause while speaking. we all want the bar in the middle leaves too, and we want the off villages and the everything in my power to make a folder. so they can demari a say some young people and voters of color who previously supported democrats are now supporting trump, or are choosing not to vote at all. a lot of jersey is

a lot of millennials and their pro palestinian pro palestinian. so i don't know if she's going to get that won't because of just how many protests has been out in the streets. also campaigning in north carolina. trump promised this is all you need to know. campbell broke and she broke it. we will fix it. i will fix it. the campaign acknowledges that the president, donald trump has said gaze with and the african american males voters. still, it believes that vice president, pamela harris, has connected with young voters. e mail voters and motors of color in the southern battle ground state, and that they believed is for tea to victory. kimberly how good charlotte, north carolina. so just 2 days of campaigning left donald trump will be in 3 battleground states. later on sunday, including north carolina, that's where we find phil laval, who's in goldsboro now. so you can tell a lot about the end of the campaign by where the candidates go. they've got better

pulling than everyone else. he won north carolina in 2016. he won it in 2020. so why is he there does is assigned that he's buried the hey, i thought to that's exactly it. you know, even at this late stage just work hours. if you want to book, we'll develop metric. there is still a lot of people think people think that these things are all locked in months in advance. no, they are still moving costs and they have to reflect on the real time data by getting on the ground. and then they have to move in terms of couple of hours. she seems to be done now in north carolina, where as donald trump has got the event yesterday, he's got an event today he's got an event tomorrow. you know, a few months ago, you'd have been forgiven for an unexpected to see much of donald trump here because it seemed like such a lock when he was against joe biden. but what this reflects is not real concerned by the trump campaign, despite what this thing publicly. but north carolina could flip blue. obviously that is a big metaphorical help for a couple of hours to go up. but we'll see about increased confidence on we seeing that type of thing,

but also mention the pop ups that we're seeing as well. you know, that appearance on saturday night live con. overstate just how big that was. as i know, as it's cold, here is a, an institution in the united states. what that would have done is to things able to reach to people who perhaps watching tv, and they would have gone out of the way to avoid watching a couple of hours interview. i've only been caught by surprise and they may have what had message out in front of others. also, believe it or not, there are a lot of people in this country who are still a bit there about the election. they haven't decided they are not even paying attention the pay attention like your aisle and those people, those undecided voters, will perhaps have been reached just by this one of periods. the other thing is the pod costs you may remember coming on, harris appeared on the call, had daddy podcasts, which is the 2nd most recent podcast. listen to podcast in this country a few weeks ago. i con painting about a success. donald trump, j v j d von supposed to pay it on, jo, broken, specified podcast that has,

we think about 11000000 listeners and there is talk, she may do that, although that's still the moving part. you know, so religion always plays a role in elections, but it seems like this year it's taking on an even greater role or is that just me? no, no, i'm especially here in north carolina. it's no exaggeration to say putting you kind of drawing more than 5 minutes without coming across a church in the state. in fact, you come to some rural areas and there are churches literally next door to each other across the street. this is such a really display on a big issue in this campaign as kind of the harris as being the box spring, only getting down again and again in this state is a bullshit, it's reproductive rights. and that's a complex one because there are lots of women in the densely populated cities that supports that because of us down somebody productive, right? but in the most conservative parts of the state, there are people who are fiercely against abortion. i remember it's sunday here, it's the day of worship. we are just the hours away from this election now and you

know, the people in charge of going to be talking about which way that it's going to go of the, even in church, you can't get away from the presidential election. the bible very much on the ballot. the some voters, i'm going to vote the way of the bible. i'm going to vote the way of the kingdom we have to see who as evil in their policies. this bishop says he wants to save america. just will for life will for the biblical definition of marriage will not for transgender surgery is, will not put things of that nature with a strong borders. religion is playing heavily into this election. it is not connecting this devout site. both candidates holding faith events. donald trump even selling his own bible. well that aside of north carolina,

identifies as evangelical christie, and they are typically conservative. but there are some cracks appearing. i think some of them are probably discuss it. i think they're frustrated. evangelical pasta, ben marsh has had enough pastors and leaders are gonna, he got death threats after posting this video condemning those who claim they were acting out of space on january 6. the person that's running for secretary of education in, in north carolina. she talked about having obama executed on national television and put that on social media. and i think there's a certain number of christians and evan gel close in, in north carolina and across the country that are saying that this does not represent christ, has to twist. despite how it might look, the churches are not allowed legally. so either endorsed or post any presidential candidates if because of this bit of legislation, it is called the johnson amendment grants tax exemptions but prohibits them from any type of political campaign. and that's that the church officials tell us that this is

a truth list. very rarely use bit of legislation. the leaves of folding in the south now making way for new growth. there is change in the i did the church. apparently, the vast majority of younger evangelicals claim they care more about claimants and economics than they do about these issues. people are, i think, pretty blogs say about one sexual orientation these days, these evangelicals won't be changing. the question is, will many others. what will that mean for the election that live out out to 0, north carolina on election day, thousands of vote count reporters from the news agency. the associated press fell out across the u. s. news operations around the world rely on the 2 tally votes and called the winners in thousands of national state and local races. my colleagues here 0 that he a spoke to a piece vice president, david scott about what the team does on election night and how it all works. what we're doing is we're accounting about the,

the american system of democracy. there's no federal election commission, or overall national agency to tally up all of the votes across the country and say, who ultimately has the most. uh, it's a sort of a court of our constitution that doesn't exist the authority for elections delegated by the framers and the constitution out to all the states. and so in the mid 18, hundreds and 1848, literally 2 years after the ac was founded, we decided that's a new story. we need to cover that. and so we have since then been counting the votes on election. we go out to all of the county and town and city election officers at those local jurisdictions. we get the results of the votes as they are accounted there. and we add those up interest totals for statewide races and then ultimately a national election. and we send that out to our customers and to our audiences around the world. so americans and really the world to know, and it's close to real time as possible, who the american voter has picked to lead them next for president and the congress

. and then all the way down the ballad, the state legislatures, local elections, mayor's ballot measures, if there's a race being contested, this november, chances are we're accounting to vote. so a p makes calls, meaning it says which candidate has one which state awesome before all the votes are counted in that state. how do you do that? how do you get the result before knowing what every, what vote was as well, we're trying to answer a single question and the trailing candidates catch the leader. and so we're looking at all of the available data that we have access to, to answer that question. so we're looking at the vote count itself, what the voters have done. the results that have been reported. we're looking at the advance votes districts that we got before election day. we're looking at results from our survey of the electorate epo cast when we're out talking to voters as they cast their ballots and asking them who they voted for it, what they cared most about. we're looking registrations, just as 6, we're looking at the history of the state and we take all of that data together and

it allows us to analyze a race and, and, and determine whether the trailing candidates can catch up. and once we've concluded, based on our standard of absolute certainty, that there's no chance that the trailing candidates can catch the winner. that's when we're able to declare a race. what challenges are you expecting for this election? or the challenges of this selection or other challenges of every election, which is there going to be a 160000000 ballots cast by voters in the selection. many of them more than half, most likely will be cast in in advance. the rules and american elections differ from state to state, sometimes with the interstate, from county, the county. and so we have to go out and count that vote. we have to make sure we understand all the rules that govern the election. we got tabulate all that information. we have the quality check it to make sure that our tabulation is right and correct. we've got to get that out to our audience and to our customers and ultimately make sure that our declarations are correct. it's an enormous undertaking. more than 5000 people from the associated press will be involved in

this on the night of the general election. we call it the single largest active journalism there is. and so it's an enormous logistical challenge to take this on. but it's one that we're excited to do is we, you know, take part in our role in our responsibility to the american democracy. there are states that a p describes on the night as too close to call. what happens when a new election is really, really close as well? we say a race is too close to call when election officials have counted all over the ballots that are available to them. and it's still super close and it's still like good potentially the outcome could still potentially change based on a recount, based on very laid arriving balance based on provisional balance. and so in a race like that, we're really forced because we can't say with certainty who's going to win to wait for every last pallet to be counted. it's pretty small number of races that are like that though. when do you expect that we're going to get a result?

it's a great question. it's the one i get most often. and i gotta tell you, since 2000, sometimes we've been able to know the next president on the night of the election and our last presidential election. it took us until saturday to know that joe biden had defeated donald trump. and then, you know, there's been a couple of elections where renew wednesday morning, either in the very early morning hours or a little bit later. so the best i can tell you is it will be sometime between election night and probably the following weekend. all right, david scott, vice president had a new strategy and operations that the associated press. thank you very much. glad to be here. the hurricanes wildfires and other extreme weather events are costing the united states billions of dollars in damage each year. in fact, government officials have recorded $24.00 separate climate related disasters so far this year for losses of top a $1000000000.00 each. the most recent example was less than a month ago when hurricane milton ripped through florida,

at least $24.00 people were killed as destructive wins and a storm surge lift the trail of destruction just a few weeks prior. it was hurricane faleen that caused widespread devastations in north carolina and georgia. it marks the 1st time in decades. the 2 swing states had been battered by natural disasters so close to an election day. and this both north carolina and georgia try to recover their, our fears, voter turnout may be effected even with early voting at an all time. hi laura. laura. kyle explains by north carolina. matters in this year's election a going into election day, both comma harris and donald trump nearly neck and neck, and a 7 swing states. north carolina is one of them. it has 16 electoral votes. that's one from 4 years ago. in recent decades is mostly voted republican except these 2 times since then, it has remained closed with republicans generally having

a small advantage in 2020 north carolina was the only swing state one by donald trump. but that was just like 1.3 percent. so this time, north carolina is very much at play as officials swing states. couple of harris doesn't need to win north carolina. but any scenario, what she does makes hub paul to 270 electoral votes on the white house a lot easier. the trump is pretty much a must win state like so many other swing states. north carolina is a story of a few large and heavily democratic cities against a hinterland that is vast. rural and republican democratic vice has a mainly concentration in the state capital in raleigh. as well as the neighboring cities of greens, bar, and high points, also down in charlotte, that's the state's largest city, and also a small, but significant concentration out here in the west of the state. around ashville,

i'm pretty much everywhere else is republican. but now every election has a so called october, surprise. this time it was hard couldn't helene, devastating stone that killed more than 200 people and cause cause us to damage across the southeast and united states, including in georgia and north carolina. now these are the communities pastors by hire, a can lead west hit areas, and this is the map from 2020 look at these areas in the west here that mostly rural, mostly white, heavily republican. these up as the strongholds, except for the little pockets of blue. the area that i highlighted a moment ago around the democratic stronghold of ashville, again, by the affected by the american, now is unclear how hard compelling is going to swing these elections. but it may affect both the turnouts. the federal government, through sponsor hurricane helene has prompted both criticism and accusations of

playing politics from the presidential candidates. let's hear what they've had to say. people die in north carolina, they're dying all over those 56 states. they're dying and they getting no help from the federal government because they have no money because their money's been spent on people that should not be in our country. instead of offering hope there are those where channeling people's tragedies and sorrows into grievance and hatred. and one may ask why, and i think sadly, frankly, the motives are quite transparent to gain some advantage for themself. to play politics with other people's heart break and buddhism unconscionable. as always, i think it's important to fact check the candidates, what donald trump just said, there are about few more money being spent on undocumented immigrants is completely false. good. okay, so now let's introduce our panel of guests to discuss this during the us from our washington dc rooftop. we have joseph labo, a senior research fellow markets,

trade and institutions division of the international food policy research institute . and we also have hello stafford. she's the associate director of climate and environment at the federation of american scientists. and i was just back checking donald trump there. but i think it's important for our international audience to understand just how intense and heated this discussion has gotten over climate change. because in north carolina, the federal emergency management workers that were there to help people had to flee a county cause an armed man was coming to shoot them heavily or man. so let me ask you this. can you explain what is going on to the rest of the world? why are we so weird about this? yeah, you know, there's just, there's a lot going on. there's lot on americans minds, they're going to the polls. they've got a economy top of mind. and what i think voters are increasingly coming to realize is that economy and the claim it, they really do go hand in hand. you know, we've seen hurricane celine and mill and together cost

a $100000000000.00. and that's money that's coming out of communities. and that's money that's driving up. those are costs that are driving up home prices for americans. and when you're trying to rebuild there's a lot of misinformation going on. and it's hard to understand are these people coming to, to help. c us are these people coming and didn't bring in the government, but really the government is coming and providing critical disaster relief to american communities. and that's something that's been really disguised by missed information that's been ramp in american communities. joseph, you are climate expert. when you hear congresswoman marjorie to. busy agreeing says the government is controlling the weather. i mean, how did we get here? yeah, h, i, you know clement's been so polarizing over the last several years and it just here a just tearing we, i mean a couple of cultures. no, but just oh yes and us. yeah, i know i, i agree. i agree. are you and i think that, that at least you know, what i would see among, you know, in the agricultural community at least, is to have

a long awareness of droughts and how they are impacted by the extreme weather events. and i think that their feelings towards climate actually have changed a lot over the last 1020 years. so let's get to what the candidate policies are going to be trumped. and this is maybe my favorite. busy what he says, climate change, water will just go up in and over 400 years. you'll have more ocean front property . i mean, it is trump woods, this is a very serious issue. joe, by president joe biden has invested the most money ever in preventing the climate catastrophe that is on coming. how much can donald trump and do this had i can he, could he just get rid of it? sure, so we saw under the trump administration, there was a role back of more than a 100 climate environmental policies. those are aimed at protecting clean water, protecting clean air, and protecting americans from the worst impacts of climate change. as we look ahead to the next administration, there's

a lot of progress that's been made under the byte and administration and the largest climate investment and clean energy package in the nation's history in the history of the world. so trump administration couldn't come in and do all of that progress, but there's a lot they could do to slow it down to slow the pace of clean energy deployment, and to slow the actions that the government is taking to protect americans from extreme weather. like hurricane celine and millen joseph, using something to me, which i didn't understand. so i want you to explain it to me and her audience. she said trade is a mitigating factor in combat and climate change. yeah, and i'm talking more globally now. i mean, the fact is, you know, when countries have a big production shortfalls, they need to get suppliers. and that's where trade becomes very, very important to mitigate those impacts. i mean, with climate change with production, shifting and into regionally in and out of some regions into others. traits going to become even more important. and that's why, you know, free markets actually are really important. and i think that when you're talking

about presidential candidates, we're talking about um, you know, having essentially putting up large borders with tariffs and other sorts of things that prevents the flow of, of, of agricultural goods and, and that could really impact countries that are indeed trade at the time, you know, they most meet it when they have production sort costs and sorry if to our audience, if you heard that is really windy up here. so things are just randomly following. so, and i wanted to ask you this how the part of the parish climate agreement was that the under developed countries, the poor countries are just proportionally facing the impacts of climate change. the wealth of your nation said, we're going to get a fund. we're going to help you prepare for climate change at the same time trying to cost less of it. um, are they? is it working or is the following? sure. yeah. well, you know, we are on a track in the united states to meet our commitments under the paris climate agreement. but we're at a climate inflection point and be very easy for us to fall off that track. at the same time, there's

a lot of momentum behind clean energy technologies and technologies that are going to help boost the economy, not just in the united states, but around the world if we can drive down those costs. so what we're seeing at the same time is we're seeing investment directly in countries abroad during this should is like president biden's compare initiative through us aid. we're also seeing investments in the united states. and if we keep those investments going, that's going to be a rising tide that live sol, ships on climate and the economy, but we could fall off really quickly. well, and that takes me to vice president harris joseph issue done with climate change or is she going to say, well, we already did the largest fund or do you think she would push for even more? oh, i think so push for more. there's a lot of stuff going on if you are the department of agriculture, for example, where or they are encouraging farmers to and adopt more climate friendly practices . and they're just getting off the ground on that. and i think there's a lot of benefits that would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions or sequester

carbon are things that would be very, very good to help mitigate the impacts for climate change. and i think that will be the next 4 years. you'll see more of that. and harris inspiration, interesting fact of the, the biggest money that they send to, like make new solar panels. those are an 8 of the, of the 10 biggest from, for the biggest projects, 8. run by republicans. hard to get rid of it if your team is benefiting. thank you so much. that was a really important discussion. i appreciate it. so we've just 2 days of campaigning left. let's check out what both of the candidates are up to on sunday cobbler harris is set to campaign and several cities throughout the battleground state of michigan. well, donald trump will hit 3 swing states on sunday with rallies in pennsylvania, north carolina, and georgia. and al jazeera will have comprehensive special coverage on election night. make sure to join us from 22 gmc on november, the 5th. that's it from here in washington dc, we'll hand it back to you savvy,

and the rest of the team in the science so much kindly we definitely will be with you on election night. now, both thing on the way involved over the high stakes presidential ramos that couldn't decide whether the country leads towards europe or russia. presidents my assigned to one small debited join the european union, her opponents, alexander still yano. lo, says ties with the washer and the national interest. moscow was accused of interfering in the 1st round of the election. that's a claim. it denies a former bolivian president eval morales is calling for international support to set up talks with you in touch with the governments of louisa to say a group of more on a support is still on that, on the barracks, on friday, taking a group of soldiers hostage demonstrations have been blocking thousands of roads in the city of culture, but for nearly 3 weeks. trying to prevent the arrest of morales on right charges.

us all right now before we and let's just remind the views about that public backslash. we were talking about the beginning of the show that was going on in east in spain. way. king philippe was booed and heckled while visiting the flog ravaged region of valencia. the seemed quite agitated. seemed sad. the king tries to cover some on this with some uncomfortable terrain. i say you can say more ways than one. the monica accompanied by prime minister, had the son says, while visiting the was effected town have been protests against the government's response to the disaster. well, it killed at least 214 people. tens of thousands of soldiers and

police officers have been deployed to assist in that rescue. effort. provide. so it, so this news out is another shows that what about the israel is duty is and the judaism is israel. many american cheese are raised with a one sided view. what is room? this is our land. that's what was conveyed to us found in the depths of my family's house, but the tide is shifting. as younger jewish americans learn the reality about these rails treatments of the palestinians, i was never in the palestinian house to live barge into one in the middle of the night. it's a military occupation is right, is every episode to announces era in an already follow tom world sign for the escalation of the president by then i a working to in this war. i did encourage

him to get this over waves and asked to get over with as with many desperate for change. it is absolutely sense, so who avoid them all out wanting. lemme know what is the world to expect? let us show each other in the world. we are, we have to be brave, otherwise we're not going to have a country left. how will the choice of one nation affect the cost of the us? 2024 on out to 0 on counting the cost, the u. k. is governing labor policy as late as it's 1st punches in 14 years. what did help grow the economy? 2000000000 is helps winning the results of the us presidential election. plus, why has russia central bank raised interest rates to a record high? counting the cost on al jazeera, libya torn the parts for over a decade. those what, who don't care about the country, but good ideas from the past and the turmoil. king good. 3,
