6:00 pm
of the there's no limit to have a dream container stuff in your own adventure, no counter avenues. the . ready the kind of them or kyle, this is the news, our life from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, the jury a spanish king, so the government says close to the funds invalid. and a wave of israeli strikes could at least see 5 palestinians across the gauze of stress. is there any
6:01 pm
force is known as a series of sprites on the residential areas of eastern and self 11 and trumping civilians under buildings. and so it has i've had to call hate in washington dc with our special election coverage. it's the final stress 2 days to the election. the candidates are crossing those important swing states, trying to find those undecided voters. this final push the to begin this new though in spain. why king philippe has been food and tackled us visiting the flood ravaged region of valencia. the amount that was visiting was affected, towns accompanied point 5 minutes of pinterest punches, as in protest against the government's response to the disaster which has down cuz at least 215 people, thousands of soldiers,
6:02 pm
some police officers have been deployed to assist in the rescue efforts while i was there, as soon as i ago has been covering this story for us and joins us now from pipe puerto in valencia beach, and i just thought it was an extraordinary scenes that we saw surrounding the king's visit, took us through what happened why it wasn't really a surprise perhaps for those who had been here and have been listening to what people have been saying. because for about 48 hours off to the disastrous of flossing occurred, people said they felt absolutely costs off. i had no idea if they were going to be getting help if they were going to be necessarily surviving. they had no idea of what was going on because they were also from electricity telecommunications. and we'll start running out of supplies and who to. and that's been an awful lot of criticism that we've had hear from people about how we will forward to use have doubts with this issue. now,
6:03 pm
bearing in mind that the risk devolution or forward to use in spain because you have a central government department as a federal sonship on one hand, thoughts imagine c and flooding rescues. all of that comes on to the re much of the regional government. the generally thoughts of valencia, they were the ones who was given the information and they were the ones with the responsibility to raise the legs. now what people have told us here is that they did not receive and a lot until i was off to the this also struck the town, the flooding occurred. people said that they had all of a sudden began receiving them on that mobile phones, but it was fall too late, especially considering how the water rows of a much the time by up to 2 meters. and of course the recovery process as well. the rescue, the clear enough as well in the 1st few days has been taken on by the community, the residents, and also people volunteering, coming in, working for hours, sometimes to rechecked with of most basic of equipment until the other rosara sees
6:04 pm
the military and firefighters were able to come in with heavier equipment in order to be able to pick up the enormous amounts of day bri, and russel box is pretty much everywhere in the town. and so the others recovery efforts continuing, even though the rain has. so i'll say it again, was they all sorry, there is a bit of a pause at the moment because of it start, it's right. and there's a novel whether a lot issued for the region as well as other regions in the north, catalonia and the south. and out of content and most yeah, but so while that was some recovery operations taking place around the bridge, jerry hey, behind me because there are vehicles that are trapped in the side and that had been detection of some kind of human remains that we saw the k 9 unit being bro, 10 base suddenly, that showed that there was some kind of hint that they could tell that they were
6:05 pm
human remains in that. so they have been going along. i'm doing a very labeled process of recovery as well, but they've had to stop now because the weather is making this too dangerous and also impacts and the what they can do here. okay, center gaga brings the very latest the from a that town in valencia. let's go now to pablo called her on martinez. he's an associate professor of politics and international relations northeast and university london, and he's also a specialist and contemporary spanish politics joins us now live from london, says sonia that was saying that it was hard. it surprised to see the strings of anger leveled at the king. give him a sense of abundant, been felt by people uh that in that town. but you shops to see the king being treated this way. i mean, he ended up with not being someone his face. yeah, i think she, i think, yeah, i agree with the says that i don't think was a surprise. it was a shock to see the sort of reaction against the general institution, some of the general response of the governments. i suppose at every level,
6:06 pm
the regional government and the, the, the central government, the federal government, if you wish. i did not necessarily expect that to be the case against the key and certainly because traditionally they can use a forcing us a feature that trust sense bullet thanks to some expense. we know that it's not necessarily the case in spain, but certainly reach in like valencia, which is be with it more towards the center, right in the right. in recent years, i would have imagined would it be that it would be different the reaction and the response and the welcoming of the game. so that was, that would be surprising. but i suppose the circumstances of the situation that is happening on the grounds explains to a great extent, the amount of anger that is being failed. that is completely understandable. and i think people are entitled to express a frustration. but i was a little bit surprised at the target to the game for this particular reaction. i mean, it is almost a week since that is also happened on choose day why we are getting official visits now. to yeah, that is a key question and that is why it is already exactly there is this on your
6:07 pm
understanding of abandonment by, by the people in my sense is that maybe spanish authorities initially did not really appreciate the gravity or is it to ations or at the central level, which obviously they should have realized immediately, i don't think they took the think necessarily a seriously that was the sense that the government has paid for example rejected. somebody can help from the french government to send some assistance. so there is the feeling, the people that the governments are active very, very slowly. now before, so i, i don't know if there is a particular way which a government reacts always perfectly into the space of scenario. but the problem is here is this a perception that unless you're right, you say only now is our government officials actually going to the i think that area. so is the sense that things are moving very, very slowly on the maybe the government is not giving these, it's rightful ways. i am the summit defending spain to some extent saying that it's on use as a country is on used to responding to natural does offices a might not be a fair argument. and i think there's some, yeah,
6:08 pm
it's been very sometimes i think the situation is unprecedented. some extent, this isn't like some other parts of the world, perhaps that are more sort of used to the sort of scenarios. uh, you know, this isn't some country in the caribbean, for example. it is facing to hurricane see or near the seats on the president that needs it. he's definitely uh besides situation is presented itself. but obviously the idea and citizens expect the government to be prepared for the sort of issues and have continued this implant for anything that could happen. nobody actually knows when natural resources are going to strike by that means to finish it. and that's where all the sites does, but you do expect the government to have a set in the group preparedness and also you expect the government to be competent when reacting to these things that i think the issue here is not only that, the feeling is that the government has been unable to respond, but rather that has been unwilling to respond in the sense of the go try to get status on our politics being played out as well, and as never a good look. absolutely. i'm with climate change being yet more unpredictable.
6:09 pm
whether i would hope that the government let me look forward to use a, a learning sutton lessons from this experience. of course we have it at the end of the day. so you said it will be too late, right? the preparation for the stuff event taking part much more in advance and the reaction has to be as the report was saying, right, the, the ideas of citizens have to be told in advance when there's an emergency coming with as a funding coming not after that 5 there's no point letting people know that there's a flash flooding. hours of 3 happens. so i think there's a lot to criticize there in general for levels of government in spain. on the other hand, i do see the point that these, these unprecedented natural resources do happen to seek to happen more and more particularly we changing whether across the world to all governments with struggle to deal with something like this. but i think the way the bank probably in my mind is the way the spanish government has handled the optics of these. of these responds called her on martinez. many thanks indeed for joining us. thank you.
6:10 pm
the is there any strikes of killed at least $35.00 people across garza, including 17 in the north, yusef as well in the entire population of northern gauze. there was an imminent risk of dying from disease, from an ongoing bombardments 5 years. wait a minute, treat you an agency says on saturday is really a tax code. more than 50 children in a 48 hour period and the trip all the a refuge account strikes destroyed to residential building, sheltering hundreds of which will be displaced. palestinians will. this is what's left of nearby by law here. what entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. northern goals has been onto his wireless siege for nearly a month, deliberately console, from humanitarian assistance. but as of the time, i'm not limited to that area, at least 8 palestinians, including children, have been killed in an abstract,
6:11 pm
tungsten, con eunice. and the cell ended up being taken to badly functioning hospitals. that's bringing honey mac with now. he joins us from darrow by that in the central garza and just in the past few hours, honey, we've had an update from the goals, a health ministry of a new deaf toll is rich, 43341. it's a devastating number, isn't it? but just keeps climbing on the absolutely, and just when we just have a curve to look at the number, it just a conservative reading of what we are able to see and document on every single day . we get to the point where it's hard to keep up with the many atrocities committed by the is very military, that more people are trapped inside their residential homes. and so northern part of that goes to by dying by the hour, every hour we hear about a new residential building being targeted and destroyed what people are inside. and
6:12 pm
the reason we see in large casual definitive we are talking because people are driven in from where they were staying in the past before these very monetary started in june, inside the war. and because the before the ground offensive another part. as soon as the vacillated, people are cornered into smaller areas in the central and the western part of the northern parts of district dr. do a driven away from the hospital where they were evacuating in children again from day backwards instant as all the schools and the public facility that they took, the so that they are now inside residential building. whatever remained in talk of these building is becoming a target for they've really ability to just the positive human. it's not only we sit on a talk that honda in a city where 8 people were killed. that's for them where it's still there, but we see it also another family inside devalue refuge account along with other with other relatives other and they're in laws, the relative different where should learn inside this with the additional building that was targeted by at fighter kids and was destroyed,
6:13 pm
it just the number keeps increasing by the hour. on top of that, there's the ongoing suffocating. see what we're seeing on the ground on daily basis is an actual, it's like a cleansing access from, for driving people to from the food, the water, the medicine as well. i do live, survive the light them. on top of that, there is the ongoing bombardment, a wholesale death and destruction for people who are trapped inside the northern part of this trip. i met with joining us that from the northern gauze that honey, thank you. a ogazio health ministry has one that is waiting for us as a tightening the siege on health centers and the knolls come all on one hospital is dealing with huge numbers of patients who've been injured. the facilities and the results and understaffed right now the entire hospital is being run by a single doctor and his assistant and he's supposed to talk to her some boost. i fair about the challenges he's facing and how the mission associated in this war.
6:14 pm
we'd have to learn to do everything as is really forces during the hospital entertain the entire medical staff member. i, together with my assistant position were left alone between a rock and a hard place. either to give up. we're start doing what we can to save lives up. the more it does the, to the high by any measure we'd have to perform miracles. here. we've been flooded with victim suffering all kinds of injuries. far beyond the full fledged hospital capacity b as in terms of bed capacity to staff, qualifications, skills and capabilities, a little and physical and mental limits. but we were forced to act administered as seizure to a child who was in critical condition. and my colleague opened up his abdomen and stopped the bleeding. it was the 1st time i ever performed a surgery. this was totally outside the scope of our specialization. we did what we had to do to save lives, you know, otherwise innocent victims would die by the grace of god. the child survived and was moved to the i see, you know, the senate now it was done. i was an would,
6:15 pm
i have a message to the world not only to the w, h o, the red cross, and the international community, but also to the proponents of international law. and all those who pontificate on humanity and human rights and an urgent humanitarian passage must be opened without delay on top fuel and medical supplies delivered. and also to allow for specialized medical staff to come and lend a helping hand. we've been at banded by the whole world and left to work under unimaginably harsh and horrifying conditions. so is there any forces have supposedly employed civilian companies to flatten homes and the something dollars or 50 of rough or a video uploaded by an employee shows in bulldozing through bowens with plans to destroy a local most. hey, nicole, are the subject of the permission to talk a whole new a bug image of the enough people must say, i mean based on the show, not to the milan cheese on. so what's missing of, i'm going to be done with one way doing that.
6:16 pm
let's take a closer look at what is really ministers have previously said about the destruction of gaza. they go out and they've been surfaced social equality claimed was in the end. will we do that? will really help them only taking to have a tree will really hot them off national security minutes. the estimate bank of it was i said if we want to we can renew settlement in gaza. that's good to know. are they now she's in the jordanian capital. she's covering this from a mine because he has ran a government has found out is there from reporting in the occupied westbank and from inside israel. so know what more we hearing at this stage about israel's plans future plans for gone. so laura, i think 2 names that out our viewers, and we need to remember arkell high lift and they have, these are 2 organizations and go, hey, look, is a policy for him that has
6:17 pm
a lot of branches and some branches that effect policy, not just in israel, but also in the united states, they are ultra right been organization and they have a is also a very right wing organization that has been recently sanctioned by the us state department. now both of these organizations have been advocating for re establishing illegal is really supplements in gaza and we've seen them hold more than one conference over the past year, including one very recently in october in a closed military zone right outside of god's us. so this conference was facilitated by the is really army, attended by 21 ministers. and basically in a nutshell, the plan is that the land must be next to israel. sacraments must be slap, established throughout the gaza strip it not just in the north, but also in the south. and that the humane thing as the minister of national
6:18 pm
security at the might been via put, would be to expel the palestinians from gaza. that is in a nutshell. busy these organizations and the ministers in the government coalition are hoping to do, in fact, at some point during the war, they even chartered a boat for a potential settlers to watch as gaza burned and to pick in which place they would like to settle. okay, know many things indeed for joining us that from a mind well is ready, forces have lost a series of attacks across eastern and southern level. none of these 3 people were killed, 79 injured in the tech and how it side. and they, the coastal city of size on the south and about to strike down as part of the to being government hospital. it comes as real issue force evacuation warnings in the east and ball, the region. the army claims as targeting has boss sites. i mean, my listen, go, has been pulls out a knife from the rubble of
6:19 pm
a collapse building in the town of garcia in southern lebanon was his plan is really strikes on sunday child stratford as in buried with more on those attacks in southern lebanon. the largest star icon of what looks to be a residential lodge residential building in the outskirts of the time of the city upside on an area cold. holler at sight a um, so fall we are hearing the ports of at least 3 people killed in that strike. and at least 9 others injured. the siding is being hit at least a couple of times at least twice in the last few days and indication of an escalation for the know then the main for one of the better words say to of operations for these right? it is. but 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
6:20 pm
almost a week ago now in the town. okay. um, which is in southern lebanon, and its understood that there are 21 people that were missing. we, are we now hearing suddenly 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 certainly what the local authorities are saying, civil defense and the red cross. the 2nd, what this highlights is the lack of access. the israel is giving them still has hit on al jazeera, but just 2 days before the us selection, we take a look at how the candidates tweak the campaign promises, depending on the audience. plus, i'm still a valid in north carolina when more than a 3rd of the population identifies as evangelical christians. but they may not over 5 years. and the way that you expect
6:21 pm
the, the hello bus stop without weather across so much south bus, south america, the cold clouds hobbling up and rumbling away. we some sundry down pools and they are quite widespread. now, that's good news. we do need the rain. we will see increasing cloud and drain running towards what i say as to what was the plates as we go $13.00, monday time, which is here around to mid twenty's is the west of where the federal flood into the hospital for sale and running up towards the northwest corner of south america, where we are looking at some really nice the weather in the next day. i will say this may well develop into a tropical storm, is throwing some heavy showers across the west side of the caribbean, through costa rica, pushing across to was the parts of panama. and then in the slightest way,
6:22 pm
further north with some concerns that for jamaica, some really heavy rain coming in here as we go through monday and on into tuesday that could cause some flooding and some land slides, of course rush the showers, the cost much look right around $2.00 days when the west sunshine over towards the less antilles petty, a sunshine. meanwhile, across the eastern side of the us. but because a dividing lot of some really heavy rain summary down posts, particularly across the deep south. on the back side of that, i would suppose the west is a fair bit of snow making his way east. the in depth analysis of the day sidelines. how do you see the educational system in gaza informed opinion it's feed treaties? have a very high kid in getting serious critical debate. what happens as either now has to be seen in the context of a whole raft, especially those that have been taking against on the inside story. what is,
6:23 pm
is real trying to achieve in 11 on is there a strategy on how to 0? a unique perspective. we don't want ahead to well, but we no longer have any private spaces on the incident. that's a scary well on heard voices a year into this genocide, it still remains large, one section to connect with our community and tap into conversation that you will find elsewhere. but humanity, the number of people who want to stop sending weapons has gone up and up, despite what they hear in the mainstream media in the united states. the stream on out to 0. the
6:24 pm
again you are watching out, is there a has reminder of our top stories list, our famous king philippe, being food at fox 15, the flood ravaged legion of valencia on it. was this the most effective towns company by the time is of headphones as have been protests against the government's response to the disaster, which at least 215 people have done his way minutes. he has killed at least $35.00, thomas finance and multiple attacks across garza, as strikes have talked to the residential buildings were full. so please displays people at sheltering. it comes as unicef was the entire population in the north as of imminent risk of dying disease. and pharmacy, and is there any forces have noticed a series of attacks across eastern, i'm southern lebanon. at least 3 people were killed in a striking heart. fight in the city of side on is also exposed to back to ation warnings in the east and all that feature the
6:25 pm
now in just 2 days time versus in the us all heading to the polls to pick that next presidents. we have special election coverage for you, so let's get straight now to possibly go, hey, who's in washington dc for us passing that. thank you so much. and hello and welcome to our washington dc studio lives on top of the rooftop overlooking the white house in their final push for vote. democratic presidential candidates, cala harris and her republican rival. donald trump, had been campaigning in the southern battleground states. results there could determine the outcome of this year's election poll suggests a tight race. the worst in events in the middle east are complicating matters for harris prompting protests at some of the for rallies. kimberly helped get reports from north carolina. a vice president come here is maybe surprised appearance on one of america's most
6:26 pm
popular late night comedy shows up a lot, saturday night live. so i'm going to vote for i raised 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 in 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 with those has been the case for dozens of harrison's rallies. it's all right. in north carolina,
6:27 pm
the vice president was again interrupted by pro palestinian protestors, forcing her to pause. while speaking, we all want the bar in the middle leave to and we want the off stage is and the everything in my power to make it peter sleeping 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. they're 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 and north carolina. trump promised this is all you need to know. campbell of broke it's, you broke it, we will fix it. i will fix it. campaign acknowledges that the president,
6:28 pm
donald trump, has played games with an african american male voters. still, it believes that vice president, pamela harris, has connected with young voters, female voters, and a voters of color in the southern battle, ground state. and that they believe is for key to victory. kimberly, how get charlotte? north carolina. we have 2 correspondence following the candidates. villa bell is in north carolina. we'll be speaking with him in just a few minutes. but 1st let's go to teresa bow, who is in detroit, michigan. we're kala harris will be campaigning on sunday the tray. so there's a reason alpha 0 since all of our teams into the field so early. so you can spend days on the ground and you can get a real feel for which way the state is leading. does it feel to you like the polls are suggesting that it's really a toss up a lot most certainly this isn't paula rice
6:29 pm
states and there's lots of people that would vote for cabinet harris. but then you will go to other areas where there's lots of support for donald trump to, let's not forget the business. the state were donald trump, one back in 2016 for 11000 votes. and later on, joe biden, one here in 2020, i'm right in front of this church, so you can see right behind your cabinet, hers will be arriving here in the next hour, she'll be attending service here. this is one of the largest churches in the united states with millions of members, mostly from the african american community have is, will be here right now later on. she's going to be going to a restaurant to a barber shop and clearly appealing to the african american votes in the state that were present around 13 percent of the votes here, the community here, the african american community here has been struggling for years with poverty. dick screaming, nations segregation among many other things, and that's why many of those people we spoke to here are very excited about this
6:30 pm
vote. we're coming to harry's and wrote down from calvin. how does this turn out? is crucial. getting people to go out to vote to be able to win the states back to you. thanks very so. so just 2 days of campaign he 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 kingston and phil again, you can tell a lot about what the campaigns of thinking about by where they go in these final days. she's one north carolina twice. so why is you there is the word a yeah, absolutely. that's the sort of it positive you know, you asked the trump campaign, are you concerned that you will lose north carolina? of course they're not going to say yes, donald trump on his team. they don't have a record of admission that there is a possibility. they may lose somewhere, but we just go to look at the movements. donald trump was here on wednesday. he was here on saturday. he's here today sunday. he's here tomorrow. monday. you don't do
6:31 pm
it out. do you think that a state is locked in and that's why we're not saying spend a ton of time in texas or alabama or even florida, because those are states that he feels he's ready got in the back, but right now they are concerned. i'm, when you look around, you can see it because, you know, the trucks can hardly, for example, behind that church over, sorry for that charge. there are some sides. and there are rules, hovers will sides just found the cover over there. i can say i have is will side, and a trump signed 6. and as you drive around the, the rural areas you might see suite from science and then one have a sign. so it's not exactly what he wants to pay because when he was it gets to bite and he felt like he had the state ready, ready locked up. so that's what i'm doing now. they're really trying to get the numbers out. they put me on the side of the votes, is who they are still trying to convince, but it is old. now just a numbers game, it is about making sure the people who might be leading towards donald trump get out the i'm the vote and that's why we say donald trump at these valleys where to go hot on some of those strong lines. for example, citing the places in north carolina that were hit by hurricane lead, already being left out by the disaster emergency committee. it is
6:32 pm
a agency because they support donald trump. so they really get into those, those hard lines to try to get people out and feel, i'm guessing there's a reason you're standing in front of a church talk to us about the role that religion plays in the presidential election a yeah, i mean, no matter where you are in this state, you're not far from a judge, it's no exaggeration to say utilized 5 minutes. you're going to go past at least one judging and some role areas you'll have churches literally next door to each other out across the street. this is such a devout part of the well, beside the state. and there are lots of people who are very on see abortion kind of the house of, of the obviously is talked about bringing roe v wade or the that the process where it will make it happen. abortion no matter where she lives back. donald trump says you took it back to the states, but here there are restrictions. and there are lots of vices who will vote for that in mind. and even in church,
6:33 pm
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 we're for life. we're for the biblical definition of marriage, we're not for transgender surgery is, would not put things of that nature with a strong borders. religion is playing heavily into this election. it is not connecting this tp devout site. both candidates, housing sites, events. donald trump even selling his own bible, while the side 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,
6:34 pm
evangelical pasta, ben marcia's. how do you know 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 6th. 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 evans that locals in, in north carolina and across the country that are saying that this does not represent christ. and here's the twist, despite how it might look at churches are not allowed legally to either endorse or post any presidential candidates. it's because of this bit of legislation, it is called the johnson amendments grump tax exemptions, but prohibits them from any type of political campaign. and that's that church officials tell us that this is a truth list. very rarely use bit of legislation. the leaves are fully even the south now making way for new growth. there is change in the i did the church.
6:35 pm
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. but what i would say about one sexual orientation these days, these evangelicals wouldn't be changing. bet you question is will many others? what will that mean for the election that live out out to 0? north carolina, north carolina is one of 7 swing states that couldn't decide the presidential election between them. there are 93 electoral votes or kyle explains why the state matters in this year's contest. going into election day, both colonel 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 one from 4 years ago in recent decades is mostly voted republican except these 2 times. since then. it has remained close with republicans generally having
6:36 pm
a small advantage in 2020 north carolina was the only swing state one by donald trump. and that was just like 1.3 percent. so this time north carolina is very much at play as official swing states kind of how it 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 of the 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 votes as a mainly concentrate in the state capital in raleigh, as well as the neighboring cities of greens, bar, and high point, 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
6:37 pm
ashville, i'm pretty much everywhere else is republican. but now every election has a so called october surprised. this time it was hard couldn't helene, devastating stone that killed more than 200 people and cause just to effect 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. tell them mostly rural, mostly white, heavily republican these up as the strongholds except for these little pockets of blue. the area that i highlighted a moment to go around the democratic stronghold of asheville, again, by the affected by the american. now as unclear how hard can helene is going to swing these elections, but it may affect both the turnouts. pamela harris,
6:38 pm
this campaign is reportedly launched as in the battle ground state of michigan and pennsylvania, displaying 2 very different messages on israel's war, on guns in her ad. and the key swing state of michigan harris expresses solidarity with the people in gaza and says she will not be silent. the state is home to the nation's largest air of american community. and many of its members have been critical of the current administration's handling of the war. meanwhile, in a different ad that's meant to appeal to jewish voters and pennsylvania, she says she will stand up for israel's rights to defend itself. let's take a listen to the 2 different sound bites used in those campaign as in each of those states. what has happened in gaza over the past 9 months is devastating. we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. we cannot allow ourselves to become num to the suffering and i will not be silent. i will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself. and for
6:39 pm
israel has the ability to defend itself, because the real must never again face. so more that a terrorist organization called her mom paused on october 7. let's bring in our panel guest now laura blessing is the professor in the government affairs institute at georgetown university, also joining us as bruce fine, a former us associate deputy attorney general and a long time friend of al jazeera, i was on the street getting coffee. this morning randy someone an acquaintance and he said i'm not 30, i'm in virginia yet. as of aren't you vote? he said well they're both equally bad. so laura, to you the so how do you explain that? because i think people in the world are looking at 2 candidates that could not be any different in any subject. so what's going on?
6:40 pm
sure. well, without being in arms, you're a psychiatrist for this particular individual. you know, your, your point is extraordinarily well taken. these are very, very, there's a huge contrast in terms of the policy, but also the present as of these 2 different individuals. and if we're going to talk about different uh, policies that they're both promoting. um, you know, in terms of fiscal policy uh you have uh, the trumpet. trump would want to extend the trump of tax cuts of 2017 as well as shifted to. busy words a baseline, a universal baseline therapy depending on the speeches, either 10 or 20 percent might be higher than that for, for china. of course. um, which is uh, garnered him uh, the uh, the under the approval for his opponent uh, by a number of different economics nobel laureates. where is harris is looking to, while keeping her promise to not raise taxes on those making of $400000.00 in up.
6:41 pm
it is looking to, you know, cut taxes for middle class increase and go, you know, go back to increasing the child tax credit increase the corporate tax rate, which if we're looking overtime in terms of different uh, taxes that we've lost revenue from overtime. we, you see a strong down or trend of getting revenue from corporate, corporate taxes, as well as a number of, of different uh, proposals to help out uh, housing, um or, you know, looking at different policies on prices. okay. elders you are a long time washington power lawyer. uh they, i think we haven't talked enough about this. donald trump is already saying if he does it, when the election is going to be stolen, was interested. i went to the field in wisconsin. the only thing the republican party was training that's reverse to do was to watch the polls. so i explained to our audience how the law is going to really factor into the selection this time. okay? it's very complex, but let me try and make it simple by
6:42 pm
a couple of examples because states presidential elections are basically 50 separate state elections. so all states have different rules for qualifying, as i'm eligible, voter and for when and how you cast votes. the us court of appeals for the 5th circuit that covers largely the southern states recently held that in mississippi law. that said, if you vote on election day, you mail it in and needs receive within 5 days of election day accounts as a valid the court of appeals said no, it doesn't because you have to count the bill the same day you receive it or it's violates the congressional statute that says everybody votes on the same day, we recently had a decision before, so everyone has done that. their votes are getting thrown out. well, the 5th circuit was a little not crazy and said, well, it's very close to election time. so let's put it in suspension, but there are many other states that have similar laws that also are in jeopardy, based upon that ruling. that is a permit voting as long as you cast your boat in the mail by the, the date of the boat. and it'd be november 5th and it's counted afterwards. so that
6:43 pm
will show that there's going to be many, many lawsuits on that score alone. and also many states have what they call program at a removal of voters from the roles based upon they didn't check a box on a when they apply to get a driver's license. and so maybe they're not a citizen that the box would say they were a citizen. and the us supreme court recently just last week, and the 6 to 3 decision, said virginia, even though we were permitted on a case by case basis, to remove orders where you had actual evidence that they weren't qualified, you can program magically wipe out the $16000.00 votes, which indicates a willingness to get involved, at least at some stage after november 5th, in cases that will surely rise to the supreme court. i am not going back to hanging chads, bruce, i'm just not doing that. we only have about 3 minutes left. do a large, you believe the polls, i mean, and because we're talking about these very different campaigns run very differently and they're, it's tied. do you believe the polls i mean, or is polling just broken in the modern era?
6:44 pm
would you guess that's a, that's a big question. and the thing about the poles they really do appear to be tied, but even a slight deviation could cause a much greater victory for either side, depending on what happens with the electoral college, of course. so, you know, i, wild, these 2 campaigns are extraordinarily different. i do think that we should look at the, the change over time on the democratic ticket as uh, you know, being a, an item of significance in terms of comparing and contrasting these 2 verse. i want to go back to a conversation you and i had during the trump presidency, you were in the news room and the black lives matter. protesters were being beaten in the streets by police, and i said, you has this country ever been this divided and you said what was worse was worse in the sixty's is, is it worse now and do you expect violence? you guys to talk to is your cell or, or what your walk from to the studio here on this roof top was lots of barbed wire . yeah. listen, i live on capitol hill tract right behind the office buildings and us supreme court
6:45 pm
. the already gotten barricades up there. coming to this building today you got on the ellipse, the barricades again, is starting to look like a fortress. now, the sixty's in vietnam, and i lived through that era that that was more violent then. but today we need to remember january 6 of 2021. that was not a picnic. that was not the tea party. the 1500 people are sitting in jail now they're a 135 people either to. busy or did because of that violence, and that's the whole new genre that we have never experienced in the prior 235 year history, a peaceful transfer as a presidential power. so i do think it's a deterrent that we have a lot of people in jail now who participated in that violence and that people aren't going to be welcoming to walk into that kind of situation again. but who knows? we already know that one of trump's coats this advisor steve band, the day he says out of prison, it's been a convicted prisoner because they wouldn't testify congress. he says mr. trump
6:46 pm
declared victory as soon as the polls open, don't wait till the votes are counted. so that's what we have in store and with regard to the closeness of the race, that's what makes the likelihood of the challenges the legal challenges. so important. because if you have a landslide, they can change the outcome. the fact that it's going to be close means these legal challenges will be determined to thank you both and you're right. i was there on january 6, then technique is not a word i will ever use to explain it, nor will i ever forget that day. but thank you again for about being here. so on election day, thousands of oak count reporters from the news agency, the associated press fat out across the u. s. news operations around the world rely on the to tally votes and called the winners in thousands of national state and local races. my colleagues 0, then yay, spoke to a piece vice president david scott, a bullard about what the team does on election night and how it works. what we're doing is we're accounting about the american system of democracy. there is no
6:47 pm
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 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 in town and city election offices 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 state legislatures, local elections. mayer's ballot measures if there's a race being contested,
6:48 pm
this november, chances are we're counting the 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 depot cast when we're out talking to voters as they cast their ballots and asking them who they've voted forward, 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
6:49 pm
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 the best selection are of the challenges of every election, which is there going to be a $160000000.00 ballots cast by voters and the selection. many of them more than half, most likely we 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 got a quality check it to make sure that our tabulation is right and correct. we gotta get that out to our audience and to our customers and then ultimately make sure that our declarations are correct as 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
6:50 pm
enormous logistical challenge to take this on. but it's one that we're excited to do is we, uh, you know, take part in our role in our responsibility to the american democracy. there are states that 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 late 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,
6:51 pm
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. and al jazeera will have comprehensive special election coverage on election night make sure to join us from 20 to gmc on november the 5th, that's 5 pm here on the east coast in the us will have coverage from across the country with guests and discussion both here in washington, dc and in doha, that's here on al jazeera from 22 gmc on election day november the 5th so
6:52 pm
close. now, that's it for most here in washington, dc. well headed back to laura and the rest of the team and don't advise that you find so much and we will actually say, well, throughout the day we look forward to that as well today there in washington, dc. the countdown is really on now for this now by seeing election. thanks passing . it also has hair on al jazeera, those holes of a pole capitalize on the show, months the cities of feet, details about that coming up. so the a meeting of minds with israel committing genocide before our eyes and none of our mainstream politicians across the board seem to have a problem with this campaigner andrew fine. stay and photographer shock you do on, on active is on the crisis in guns. each one of us, these are with this,
6:53 pm
and this is upon us. as with this is to be able to validate for the seeing around the studio will be on script part 2, on old jersey. shooting the doc chapter in the cause of a war. they just took our id cards, mailed them, they asked him about his name, the killed, the prison, the scene of unspeakable horrors. so i saw a pile of bodies. we had a lot of questions about how these men come to be dead. it goes of a deep breath. i must have shut those are coming soon. another jersey you the, the the,
6:54 pm
i'm going to bring you some sports things, though. mazda cities, impressive on beats, and one in the premier league is over. i lost the bull must, as well as a surprise. the feed for also has allowed live a pull to capitalize at the top of the standings. confinement as more so we run the 10 games into the premier league season, but this could go down as the moment this will austin's type of hopes fade away. put a title challenge here. so i've also offer one new to speak to new calls. so it was then over to manchester city, i'm livable to strength. mcclain's about a 30 to master run was on the threat for pet cordial aside going behind for the 6th time the season. well, i'm a little pool, conceded against bryce and to the sides, occupying the leaks top 3 positions, all costs for the seats,
6:55 pm
but then came in a minute period, but changed every thing. evolution tapping input 2nd and the double strike from cody get, quote, i don't know how much the seller put live in front, the city waste volt, back to like go and then this from earning holland. but it's a 1st defeat since december last year for gaudio the and now 2 points behind that rivals and difficult pollution now, but the if you want to handle the stimuli still, you will feel that you have an open and close to your now, you mean it's close, close, close that situation, you have to be strong. yes. do we need, do you have to do these kind of situations and then to they were not able to do it . sometimes it's sometimes openings are better so i have to accept it. so i know the when for on a slot side, on the davis, so his closest competitors for the type miss outs. not because of the fact that
6:56 pm
they last, but what i do like a lot is that last week we 2 times we game one goal behind against optional 1000000 to one. and 2 times we were able to fight ourselves back into the game. and in this game we were one of the odd half time, then uh, to come back to way we did that gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season. was the loudest crowd. since i've been here, i think we need them again to make sure we stop play like this from the start and defense kind of help us from the start pulling the city face off on the 1st of december and match the could now carry a lot more meaning tom size and i was a 0. let's say united getting ready to face chelsea and the 1st match following the confirmation of the new manager. reuben, i'm are in will officially take charge before the international break on november. the 11th boss is rude by mr roy, who's leading the red devils for now sunday's game will mock his seconds, much as into a manager following a thrilling 5 to victory against lesta. in his day,
6:57 pm
du dustin will be united with his former teammate and chelsea manage the enzyme mariska as united look to move up to the 10th in the table. i will give him a big arc on sunday before the game and yes, we expect it's a tough game. fantastic guy. on board. very professional. we have the very good group of human being in that time with the, with the model i got. so it's, it's always nice to, you know, to remember that kind of moment a law states as i'm cricket history, as new zealand beat india to complete a 3 mill series suite. and you have never lost 3 metal on, i'm sorry, the full leaving. 1047 bodies was victory. they fell 25 runs short. one bible is patel was the stall for new zealand. we're going to spend a taking 6. my kids are going to please the states that is that's it for me, laura kyle, for this news out. much more will be found on the website that's out. is there
6:58 pm
a dot com? i'll be back in just a moment. will of today's the the private sizes like this will be we have only 10 minutes to take our belongings and leave the office so they can shut it down. for the victory for the government. get this one of those containing refugees keep coming. the actions of israel's government, the military invitation, has been described as the closing of the policy. look at actual information on the ground looks at the way that this issue is framed in the media. the escalation, fluid escalation, anything new here is that our nose immediately visit the listening pace because the media on out is era in an already bullet. uh, well the citizens of israel, we are,
6:59 pm
we are gonna continue to stay with israel's right. and the united states obviously is going to stick with this really with many desperate for change president by then i did encourage you to get this over with what is the world to expect each other and we are we have to be brave. otherwise, we're not going to have a country lives. how will the choice of one nation affect possible for us 2024 elections on out to 0? i might be the only woman in the room, the only black person definitely the only most from grass roots. activism to the holes of power, a courageous fate representatives struggles suffice to cease fire resolution before cause but taking center stage watch moving against the time takes on weight
