to each one of us do so with this, and this is upon us as with this is to be able to validate for the seeing around us studio will be on script part to, oh no, just the hello, i'm tired to go. hey, this is the al jazeera news, our special coverage of the 2024 us election live from washington dc. i certainly don't want any violence, but i certainly don't have to tell these are great people nodding as well underway in the u. s. republican candidate, donald trump has cast as valid in florida in a contest the false and just is just too close to call. come to

a hair as has already voted by mail in dallas at a star studded rally. she urged people to go to the falls. se every vote counts on john henry and in georgia with the justice department. non profit groups are trying to make sure that this time the election goes smoothly. i'm very sorry we missed 15 of be awarded the battleground space of michigan. this, if you have the largest concentration of muslim, are of americans in the united states under votes could help define who wins this election. 9, sammy's a, down here in the hallway, closely following the global impacts. the us selection will look at how the vote will impact as well as escalating attacks from the middle east, or at least 61. people have been killed like this. frank and golf. at 11 in his come under his right, the fine local media saying more than 40000 homes have been destroyed since september, the the

hello and welcome to washington d. c. voting is well underway here in the us as americans decide who will be there . next president, voters will choose whether send donald trump back to the white house as you see behind me or make history by electing the country's 1st woman. president poll suggests the race is neck and neck. polls and all 7 swing states has opened, his voters cast their ballots. and as we've been reporting for days because of the electoral college, these are the states to watch. pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia, michigan, wisconsin, arizona, and nevada, or voters are all cast through their balance of balance as we speak more than 240000000 americans are eligible to vote. about 82000000 people voted before election day. just over an hour ago, republican presidential candidate and donald trump loaded in the state of florida. and i'm just sharing that in certain states. it's going to be a long time and it,

it won't even be close to it. it won't even be that close. they say i'm going to win the state, but it's going to take a long time to say on the assumption i, when i mean, i don't know if something else happens. i don't know what's going to happen in terms of declaring victory. but if in normal times i would go over to the convention center, let's say 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock or something, but i just don't know. it looks like we have a very substantial lead. we have a team of correspondence in battle. ground stays following the election. john 100 is in atlanta, georgia. theresa bo is in dearborn, michigan. john holden is in las vegas, nevada, and rob reynolds is in tempe. arizona will speak to them in just a few minutes. but 1st, a look at how election day in the us isn't folding so far? philip bell is in the critical state of north carolina. we're motor set a new record. more than half the state has already cast their ballots. or for this

x, sorry, the calls are open. what are you? the server does not even be full. it was lights. they were waiting to have the site holding stations across the east coast, the 1st on the us mainland, to open the doors long lines and some locations, a small trickle in others, and all with one key mission to get the candidate to the white house. it's very, very simple. it has nothing to do with issues, it has good versus evil. i truly believe that i truly believe that um and the united states as far behind a lot of countries in terms of electing a woman president. and it's time, it's important for him to get back in office for me to secure our borders, to help our economy, to get back to where we were in pennsylvania to buffalo, ground state, seen as the ones who, when hundreds of votes. this turns out donald trump, what it in 2016 joe biden. russell the back just about in 2020. now trump terrace

all in a dead heat. absolutely. most important election in my life time. so i definitely wouldn't miss this so much on the line here. lot of consequences from the selection fucking ground, georgia, the sight of a lawsuit over the 2020 results. so eager lines and arizona, another buckle ground state that so it's 2020 result in the courts also see big turn out. donald trump was furious that the democrats won this by a tiny margin, a stays on the product impacted by immigration. one of his key selling points will best drive votes as to the post to support him. and so just as we see to stock the different political candidates, we see to stop the different images upholding stations someplace is long lines haven, north carolina. very short lines if any, because this place broke it's early voting rec with more than half the state has voted already no matter where voters live. so in this country, the one thing that they all have in common is none of them know how this is all

going to turn out in the end fill of i'll, i'll just say right, raleigh, north carolina, or john 100 joins us now. for me is lanta, that's in the critical swing state of georgia. john, you know, republicans have made many claims of motor fraud that doesn't really exist in this country, but is led to widespread concerned the polling places are going to be targeted. is it transfer? you are, does it feel like an unusual election? well, it started off fatty as another regular election day. and people were fired up half a 1000000 who voted so far today, according to the secretary of state, they expect 1200000 to vote. by the end of the day, you add that to the 4000000 who voted in early voting. and that adds up to a potential new record according to the secretary of states on the phone. your right now there have been significant problems here today. there has been bomb and other threats. i got pulling stations and i've got someone here who can talk to us

about that. this is stephanie jackson lee, who is the policy director at the new georgia project. and she's the one who told me about these. tell him what has been going on at these phone places. absolutely, so we have had in a few places in the state. some threats come in, our secretary of state has said that they are not credible threats and everyone is safe to vote. they primarily been in heavily black populated areas in fulton county, which is where atlanta is and a few other surrounding areas. but they have been already checked out by local law enforcement in secretary and state. voters are safe to turn out. and these are folks who just want to them from afar, be involved in our elections and distract voters from our real goal of turning out . and the secretary of state says they believe they know who who has been calling in these threats, right? yes. so secretary of state's office believes that these are from a russian influence, a troll farm, basically, so not anything that's credible in local but just outside influence on our legs.

and here in st. louis county where atlanta is police say they're gonna, they're gonna file a motion to keep the poles open later to compensate for the time that they had to be closed. right. let me ask you another question. what does it mean that these are in largely black neighborhoods that signifies something, right? absolutely. this signifies that the power of the black boat in georgia is substantial. the power of the, the rising electorate, which is youth, which is new voters, which are let next a, if you, i, and black voters, especially, is strong here in the south and here in georgia. and this is where the election is really going to end. so if people are threatening your vote, that's why, you know, it really matters that it actually has an impact. and so our outside influence, there's no that are inside the state influence. there's no that. and that's why you're really so critical in those threats. those kind of need to worry about intimidation of tools that has been happening since 2020. and not coincidentally,

it was been that the states started to turn increasingly. democratic is more people move to the, to atlanta and the suburbs. so the state wasn't really in play now it is, and that's where the threats come from. right? well, certainly our, our state is again in the south. and so we have a history of sadly voters depression in the south. but as we become more and more of a diverse state, a state of different opinions, we certainly will continue to see potential threats like this. and our voters will continue to become more aware of their rights to vote. and of the fact that our offices are here, voters like our, our offices, like ours are here to help protect them, help educate them and help them access the balance. wonder if it was stephanie jackson, ali, thank you for talking to us from the new georgia project. this is also, we need to remind you this date where republicans tried to overturn the election here in georgia. famously, donald trump called the secretary of state the same one that we talked to today.

brad reference burger. instead, i just need you to give me 11780 votes in order to put them over on top. didn't happen. trump, now facing criminal charges here in georgia as a result of that. but that might be influenced by whether he's elected president and georgia would be a key state for him in order to get to the white house. thanks john, looking forward to hearing more from you do as the day goes on. but for now, let's go to teresa bow joins us from dearborn michigan. theresa, many air of americans are outraged at the, by the ministration support of israel's war on gaza. you, on our reporting trips there are many told me they were going to be voting for 3rd party candidate and protests. how big of a concern is that for democrats there? a while i'm here in a polling station in the city of dearborn, this has the largest concentration of muslim and arab americans in the united states. and for many of the people i have spoken to this selection is personnel,

there's people from. yeah, and there's people from syria, but there's also lots of people that have spoken to from live in on and also from palestine. i am the occupied westbank. so there's lots of concerns about the wars in the middle east. there's lots of anger and frustration with the current administration over there support too as well. so suddenly most of the population here used to vote for the democratic party in the past. but since the war started, people have started to change. donald trump was presence in the city last friday, visiting members of the arab american community. so to talk a little bit about what's being happening here, we're going to talk here. so you might have not, he's a human rights activist here in the city of dearborn. so just the time you're going to be voting for just the time you're supporting her movement, even though she has very little chances of actually winning. why is that? well, this some is so simple. vote vote for more on votes sort of conscious. we understand

that the fact is system of not having a chance to run this as part of the deformed american democracy. so, but at the same time, because this, this elections are running exceptions, left us with the choice of no choice. so we found that in order to make escape, i'm looking for the fact if looking for judges, john, is that our district to do simply because of the behaviors and former brother from never managed to meet the community expectation like given a basic commitment to aspire to just on go and go on the sides on word and get the i'm now 11. aren't you concerned that many people are voting for donald trump? someone that supported the muslim band, someone that changed the u. s. embassy to jerusalem, and this is a concern for muslims around the world. isn't it a just a concern for you? indeed, the father of politics. we remember we don't forget the, for the details or of. so my president from what the wasn't as best i think,

even though most of them bad was, is a truly exaggerated by the democratic party. we don't want to see event. and during our course of the b m meetings with the drum company and they gave up like that, no repeat for the bad. we don't want to go back, remind them us with something that is not going to repeat itself. the only difference here between vice president highest i'm for my president trump as the be habits is impact of the by the station being part of the decision making me she's directed in directors responsible on all the decisions of the bed and administration for my president, trump is not to empower at this point. the priority for us is to stop and take you on the side of the board and goes and that's the bottom line that comes before and the other issue that god bless what it gets. thank you very much. so this is a bit of what's being going on here, even though the muslim arab american vote will present around one percent of the

population in the united states. it is a very important bolting. dealt mostly is it's located in swing states like michigan, for example, that as you can see, there's lots of anger, lots of frustration, lots of pain, because many of the people we have spoken to here has their relative right now struggling with what is ongoing in guys and live and also suddenly this is the stage that 2016 donor trump want 2020 joe biden. one of the big question now is, who is going to win this year? back to you? thanks teresa for bringing us that very important perspective. so there are 7 states to look out for, i know we keep saying it, but it's important. swing states that can determine the outcome of the race for the white house, the system to choose the president is based on the electoral college, a serial then. yeah, explain in most democracy's elections are pretty simple, voters vote the candidate with the most votes wins or the party with the most votes wins and a point is leader to government. but that is not how it works in the united states

. instead of voting directly for a president, the americans picks their leader through what is known as the electoral college and every 4 years we have to remind ourselves of how that actually works. so here goes, there are $538.00 electors for electoral college voters representing all 50 us states plus washington dc. these are people that are appointed by the political parties. a candidate needs house of that plus one to win the presidency. that's 270 electoral votes. that is the key number. what americans are really voting for is their state electors. the group of people who will vote for the presidents on their behalf. states have electors based on their population size. so look at this, take a big state like california this year. it has 54 votes in the electoral college, texas as 40. remember you need to 70 to win. so that's a big chunk of small states. on the other hand, like wyoming, like vermont, have just 3 votes each. most states have a winner take all policy. electors are chosen based on who wins the states popular

vote. and let's take an example of take texas huge state big population in 2025 point 8000000 voters. chose donald trump. more than 5200000 people chose job. i'd because texas is winter takes all those millions of votes provide, did not matter. trump, on all 38 electoral votes bite and got nothing out of texas. one other thing to note, every state has to have at least 3 electoral votes, regardless of population size. and this means small states are hugely over represented in the electoral college example. wyoming has one elected for roughly every 142000 voters, texas, if you do, the math has one for around 466000 voters. or what does all of this mean? it means that throughout history, on 5 occasions, candidates who did not win the popular vote have actually ended up carrying the presidency. that includes famously george bush and the 2000 presidential election, who got fewer votes than his rival, al gore. and most recently,

donald trump in 2016 became president with fewer votes than hillary clinton. in every close election, the presidency boils down to just a handful of states around the country. there are 244000000 people eligible to vote, yet it is. these 7 yellow states swing states here, only about 18 percent of the total population who ultimately decide to win the system of state by state winter take whole contest where candidates can win the popular vote, but still lose the election is deeply unpopular. more than 6 out of 10 americans want to see a president when is the most national votes, but that would require changing the us constitution, which is hard to do an unlikely to happen anytime soon. nevada is one of the battleground states. john holman, is there he joins us live from las vegas, john half of the voters and nevada has already cast their ballots. but your,

i'm hearing the democrats are concerned by that. but what's behind that? a good part. see that consent because the republicans have beaten them in the, in the votes, and by tens of thousands of votes and democrats in nevada and not used to that they used to be and the other way around. now what's the reason why more republicans are going out to vote early could be that donald trump, this time around his release has been more open to that and pushing people to do that. before in the 2020 election, he said that the only safe but was actually to go out on an election site and do it that democrats here a hoping the what republicans are doing a cannibalizing that body, that's the time that they use. basically said that phone is going out early as subtracting to the people that will be done a polling station. so the one behind us in las vegas on the election day. but there is another possibility that they simply move republicans fresh and enjoy going out to vote in general. and that's going to be a big problem if it is the case that democrats and mistake

thinks that we might want to come up with a better word for that. but nevada has a lot of voters who are not aligned to the democrats or the republicans. does that factor into why polling seems so difficult in that state? yeah, it really does, says a lot of undecided voters here and what some incredibly tight, right. let me just tell you quickly pop the how that actually happened in 2020. the state decided that when people were going to get the driving license and apply for that, they automatically be registered to vote as well. and the default option there was a to be a non pauses on both sides. and that's why the number of unofficially i to vote this here is jump from a quarter of the electorate and 2020 to a 3rd of the electorate in 2024. now the big question is, which way? as always, people gonna swing it? they even come out to vote a tow. it seems logical if they're applying for the driving license to assume that

the young, the votes is in the 9th. and the democrats failed that they might be able to hoover them up, given their proposals, and coming to harris's platform, republicans would see things very differently. and now it's the moment of truth. thanks so much john. i did not know that. okay, so arizona is border with mexico continues to be a hot button issue. now let's go to rob reynolds, who joins us from tempe in arizona. rob, we're hearing that there's another caravan on the way we've seen in the past, the media to a todd of coverage i care of. and so people coming up from latin america. how big is it a concern for voters in arizona with what they've seen just millions of a document. undocumented immigrants coming across the border under the bite and administration. oh, yes,

petty. yeah. well thats correct. uh, that is one of the big 3 issues here in arizona. uh, and as it is in, in many of the swing states and in the country in general, the issue of integration is prominent. uh, as well as the economy, which most people say is their number one issue and women's reproductive rights. also high on the agenda, that's especially important here in arizona because this is one of 10 states that is holding essentially a ballot measure referendum if you will. so they have on the ballot a measure that within trying a woman's right to abortion in the state constitution, that's as a way of job, perhaps safe guarding against any future restrictions on abortion rights were here on the campus of arizona state university in tempe, where there are a lot of young people in. ready wong lined behind me at the campus,

holding center. a lot of people very engaged here in this process. it looks trapped with one of them right now. i'd like to introduce you to a theme of peter's student here at a su with athena. thanks for joining us. you, you told me you had already cast your ballot, was it a tough decision for you? yeah, so a lot of the things on the ballot, like you said, abortion rights and immigration reform were pretty easy to vote on as well as local politicians. but a lot of people in my generation are a part of or have considered the non committal movement. and so making that decision in terms of the presidential election and figuring out what candidate i was comfortable voting for. obviously donald trump is someone who um, people who are very much in support of palestine or not. it's not someone who we think will do anything good for that cause but also the fact that kimberly harris has not come out and spoken directly and support a palestinian people and against what got what israel is doing. and gaza has been

a major sticking point for thousands of people in my generation. i ended up doing the, making the choice of voting for comma harris, because i think that she can protect our nation in a way that democracy will be able to thrive here. still, which is vital and essential for any any on the ground move meant to be able to have any effective impact. and so if people who support palestine want to be able to organize, to be able to speak out in support of that, we need to, we need a president who will protect those constitutional rights. so i hear you saying that this is a, a, a, an issue that was very important to you. we've answer please. absolutely. it was probably my, the largest thing that i struggled with when choosing to vote for humble heiress medina. thank you very much for speaking with us. we appreciate that very much. all right, so there is a voice from the campus of arizona state university and we have

a lot of people here, as i said, who are lining up to vote. so it's going to be a long day. quick note we heard from officials from maricopa county, that's the biggest county uh in the state includes phoenix and, and the where i am right now. officials, they're at the election center thing. they didn't know irregularities, the county saying there is no credit threats to voters or any of that. so things seem to be going smoothly and we'll keep an eye on it. patty. so thanks for that robin. i'm so glad that you talked to a young person because i've talked to so many ad let's just say the number of young people loading it couldn't determine the selection. and we were also talking about immigration is we've been talking, it's been a very contentious issue. many of the migrants trying to get to the us come through mexico. alessandra, rub yet the joins us from mexico city, alessandro to caravans with thousands of migrants are expected to be on the move.

how is that likely to play into this election if at all, if at all, is that too late? a well packed, indeed, the is very symbolic. that at least one of the 2 kind of outlines has already less . but the border city of thought to that in the state of chop us on the border with the glass in my la, obviously this is, is, has some symbolic power to see a few thousands of people trying to make the track to the border with mexico ride on the day of the us election, but for the migrants itself, while this is obviously a concern because they fear that the window of opportunity is closing. because whoever will, when these elections will further pursue that crack down on the idea of possibility to reach the us border. and in particular from when it's given the fact that he has repeatedly said that he would like to pursue a mass deportation. but they also have more immediate reason to uh, to, to,

to leave. and that's the fact that they have been waiting off in 4 months at their, uh to get an appointment for possibly asylum. this bid security situation and shop passed as also deteriorated. the and they can find a job there. now often these kind of events don't reach the border, then usually they, they separates. once they move into the state of a walk, aka. and they only represent that small portion, but they're there to remember everybody that this issues remains central in this us selections. i thank you so much all sandra. i appreciate the global perspective there. so let's introduce our panel of guess. jennifer victor is a professor of political science at george mason university. angela grecko is a democratic strategist and adam goodman is a republican strategist space. so what you're reading here. so going to go right

down the line real quick. who's going to win n y, adams? you 1st. this is either going to be a reflection of history, or it's going to make history. a reflection of history would favor trump because and 16 and 20. the always out perform deluxe in the paul's. as you figure that right now, we're looking at a dad he that has to be good for donald trump. however, it's $16.20. that was before roe. v wade. that was before the 20 to mid terms that was before complet harris came on the scene. what she's trying to do is create a history, create a new kind of brand of history. so as an historian, you can go either way on this election. every poster worth their salt doesn't want to make a call here. they really don't know how this is going to go, as you can see there. now calling me but, but i like your like your views like is that the godfather? yeah, yes. because i, if you can feel some sense of intimidation that you bring, when do you fit into that? but anyway, so that's what we're looking at

a close election. is it history or a story we'll find out, angela, i think it is going to be close. we won't know the results until maybe tomorrow or into the leading days. but my inclination and what i, what we're seeing on the ground is that harris does have a slight edge. and that the momentum right now is favoring her. we're seeing the old early building numbers favor the coalition that she's trying to build, whether it's young people, people of color were looking at women were coming out in record numbers and outperforming men. and that's the kind of coalition that she's trying to build. i think the risk is that the, the harris campaign is looking to maybe move away from energizing the base and broadening a little too much and bringing in the list. jenny mater, republican voters, that's a test the the selection is going to be determined, the 7 states maybe 20 or so counties. will they come out? the question will be determined tomorrow or tonight, i'm not, i'm not convinced it's going to be tomorrow. and so they're the put their in their party. you're a professor, you know, politics. what are you seeing from everything you're seeing?

what's, i mean the, the polls at this point are not particularly informative. i mean, one of the things that's important to remember is that election polling is different than any other kind of polling for 2 reasons. one is that an election pulling, you're not just trying to assess people's opinion on something that's happening right now, but you're trying to assess what they're going to do in some future behavior on election day, which is all the tools are before election day. so trying to measure future behavior is problematic or challenging. and then you don't actually know who's gonna turn out to vote. and all the pollsters are using various types of statistical models to try to determine who they think is going to turn out to vote . they've been burned to the last couple of cycles because they uh, under counted the trump. so there is some systematic sort of pulling error that is in the favor of democrats essentially. and pollsters would really like their industry to be on, you know, the good side of america and, and for people to have faith in what they do. and so it's,

it's not too surprising to me that we've now see these, these polls are essentially, they're too close to call and, and they can't tell us much about how this is going to go. we've seen some evidence that suggests i've seen more evidence to suggest that the pulling error may be more in harris's direction then in terms of direction. but we won't really know until all of those are in there. we've talked a lot in the last couple of minutes about immigration and angela don't take this to, you know, i know donald trump likes to say that harris was the borders are. she wasn't in charge of the southern border, but she was in charge of trying to improve conditions and i'll solve it, or guatemala doors to see less people coming from there. that didn't work. the democrats under joe biden. these numbers are astounded to to 1000000 undocumented immigrants came every year between 20212023. how can she go to the american people who say, this is one of my top 3 issues with any credibility that this isn't going to happen again, they didn't change their policies. be until it became clear it was going to hurt or

in the election. it is a top issue and i think what the campaign has been doing, and reinforcing is the message that there was a solution, a bi partisan solution on the table. one that was agreed to by leading leading republicans border experts and the childcare. for sure, if you're talking for sure, it's there. sure, of course i want to talk like how you actually feel like the american people are to go. well, there was a bill and then someone that know that they would just look at it and go, you didn't get it done. so how did she defend that? well, i think we look at the, it's a number of years that the border has been an issue. this is not just the job. i had an issue. and i think when we look at don't make me pull up order numbers under trump cuz i can for sure. but my, my point here is that when you talk him plainly to the american people and see that up solution was on the table and that the leading candidate for the republican party killed it so that he can campaign on it. that's very plain speak to make

a case for people who are living in arizona and nevada, that the republicans are running on an issue to keep it alive and to their advantage. i think i think that that's not hi privily or talking pointed to the facts. okay, i'll give you that, adams, choppy, that's a bit to respond, but we're not going to is we're going to move on. donald trump has broken them out of all presidential history. we've never had a candidate say. no, it's it's, it's rig it's, it's only a, it's only if i win is that a fair election? he's already laying the groundwork to fire the supporters. we know what happened last time. i was there, people got hurt on january 6th when his people attacked the capital. so how can you defend this candidate who is already said, i'm not going to do the most basic part of democracy, which is accept defeat if you're. busy well, number one, neither i or anyone to defend what happened here in this town on that fateful

january day? no, yes. okay. but then the ones to part of the house and political prisoners, let me, let me ask you your question. back and i asked the question, oh okay, no, go ahead of the 2016 after tillery clinton last of donald trump, 4 out of 10 democratic voters, according to a lot of polls as belts did, the final result was not legitimate. that there was something rotten in denmark, democrats, almost, some majority democrats, back in 16. so we don't believe what happened if this happened 2020. it happened to reverse with the republicans, of course, wearing a warrant that that had what america needs to do and what donald trump i hope will do. if he's nominated, he's the president elected tonight for us a day to follow is that we're going to restore some sense of unity about the integrity of the process. i got to get the credit. okay. cuz i like with my, my guess here, i went through the 2000 and week and i was right in the middle of it in florida. i was right in the bloody middle of it. i know what happens when everybody in the

particular war rooms are going at it with the prize on the table and how when you have a close tight election, it is not impossible. the 100 to really come up with the absolute number 537 is the vote difference between bush and gore in 2000. if this is a title action, we're going to have the same questions asked. but here's the goodness. georgia which was kind of a laughing stock in terms of electoral processes in 2020 really got their act together. i think you're going to see a very good kind of election night performance from that state. north carolina, very solid florida, which was a laughing stock back in 2001 the best in america. i think we're getting better and better. i hope that message at some point goes in maricopa county in arizona and some other jurisdictions who are slow to adopt. jennifer, you are talking to me about one of your biggest concerns. it's not even about the vote totals or getting the results late. both of these teams have literal armies of

lawyers, and there's been a lot of movement. and if you could explain to our international audience, because they think people vote the electors go, okay, i agree, then they do this. but there's that all these core cases. if you could briefly sign up for me, why that's a concern for you. well, so the way that it works is as the vote totals come in 1st, the counties will certify their votes. that was, goes with the states, the states certified those votes, and then it goes to congress who certifies that at the, at the moment of certification at each one of those levels. it is a ministerial, you know, clerk just stamping saying, yes, i agree, this happens and sending it forward. those points of certification are not opportunities for people to evaluate for assess or pass judgments on the validity of the process. the place for raising objections or claims, or fraud or whatnot is in the courts. and so both campaigns notice and we already have seen hundreds of court cases. so far more from the republicans in the democrats about laying the groundwork for raising questions about the validity of

the vote. and we really, you know, you don't, you don't have democracy unless you all agree on the roles. democracy is really more about the ability to lose the elections and to agree that the election and the rules are everybody agrees with they are the same. and so it's concerning to me that we have so much disagreement over just to the rules, which suggests a, a form of democratic backsliding in the united states. and it's for, nope, i want to, i won't, but i'm out of time and they're yelling at me. but just to make your point behind us, that noise that you're hearing is a very, very tall, very strong security fence. growing up around the white house to fence is actually thank you all so much for joining us. quite a fun discussion and al 0 have comprehensive special coverage later on tonight. make sure to join us from 22 g m t, that's 5 pm, east coast time here in the us will have live coverage from across the country with guests and discussion both here in washington, dc and in doha,

that's it from us here in washington. we'll have the back now to savvy and the rest of the team in the thanks so much 5 to now let's bring you some breaking news coming out of his route. why a prime minister benjamin netanyahu has dismissed his defense minister. you'll have go on. now go on. that has been public, be critical of nothing. yeah. who's management of the war on garza? he'd cole for new goals to be set for israel's war effort. foreign affairs ministers, royal cats is set to replace him according to the prime minister's office. let's go to the home of valid is joining us from the jordanian capital. he's covering this from my mom because he's ready. government is banned down to 0 from reporting in the occupied west bank and from inside israel. so what are you hearing about this? yes, i mean, the news has been confirmed on the policy uh find me to send us an yahoo has already sent even before he announced the publicly the news of the, of the sock, you know, he's a defense minister. he sent him

a note from prime minister's office to defend suite. it says office explaining why the decision would be taken. basically, it's a plenty of complaints from the prime minister's office about the fact that this office has been targeted over this year alone. you're a fool at, meet the war at that high speed. a lot of leaks, security leaks from the prime minister's office. and there were only 2 investigations that targeted only the prime minister's office and not those who have leaked those uh, those uh, high secret, higher level information. so, i mean basically the, the, let's have focused on these things, but we know that there is a, a lot of background to this or know that this resignation has to be talked about for months and months. it has been blowing coming and everybody knows about the, the, the, the mist task and the lack of coffee, those,

the lack of harmony between the politics of a prime minister. it's an yahoo and the politics of the you ask a lot, one of them once, a clear goal for the war going to has always be saying that it has to be defined, the goals of the war. and it has to be flexible with regards to the negotiations. the apartment in san antonio and the other hand has always been pushing for more. and if he's be accused of being a ghost, even a deal on the hostages and to do of to, to at each of these 5. so there is this city between the military on the one had the prime minister's office on the other hand. and there is this a recent leap also about the secrets being the secrets from the prime minister's office. and the prime minister is clearly from his letter today, accusing them of instead of being behind at these policies against his office or i, that's my home with val reporting to us from my mind in jordan. let's take this to

you'll see belen, he's a full my is ray, the justice minister joins us now live from tel aviv was you'll see it was this just a matter of time. and then the thing that was keeping these 2 together, you could say, is the complicated geometry of the necessities of political alliance. it may be, it was a long of a deal. and that daniel wanted to file his defense minister. he needed a, almost a year ago, a people took to this 20 day and demonstrated the gaines. this is firing day, the meanest. and the problem is there a re neg donate and they took him back, which was a very unique situation. a, i think that's one of them. you know, the issue of samples for use in the cabinet go into a, a logical government is built at least secondary. he's referring to the portfolios

as kind of a price full, but these, the banking that he's quite lucian. now rather than it normally nadine, the right people to the right, the portfolios. so this is not the precedent that is changing now in the structure of the day, the personalities in very important roles. and he believes that he is not only the fragment itself, but to use the minister in every both portfolio so that eventually it would be his decision. and the, even if people who a has nothing has nothing to do with the portfolios, can be easily nominated to these a post. now the question is whether people really, really take to the streets again, or whether they, they security situation and other reasons when they actually prevent them from

blinking. and that it would be a easier full and then you know, a to a, to, for a fire or to get to read off. he has a defense mean his step. so nearly i can just say that either way, it may be a 1st step to build the dissolution. often they've done y'all's government. that was exactly what was gonna ask you of my 2nd question. where does this leave the coalition? where does it leave? nothing. yeah. himself a initialed why? danielle a is a gaming a the tomorrow because they the main oaks the current off of the last days. well, the result was the recruitment a low a which actually allows that, that, or draw the docs and people not to a joined the army and the defense made is still got on there. said that it would be a gain steed. and now that they say it, obstacles is removed,

a below or for else recruitment a we bus and a he's government that, that was government would be saved. but for the long run, it would be a scholar. all right, you'll see that in the thanks so much for your analysis. let's go with the model on the shauna is alj, a 0 senior political analyst joins us from here in doha. so 1st of all, model one, where does this leave the composition of the cabinet right now? i think it's would make it as a matter of ever more consolidated. if anything goes wrong as far as the pod voice out in a correlation that includes uh, the good next that are very close to nothing. yeah. how you could quote them nothing. yeah, i was minions, like, uh, carts who's been sort of under his wing for more than 2 decades, even 3 decades. even get on the side. although he left the codes and had formed his

own part, that he was actually his cabinet secretary, once upon a time, get on the side who would probably become the for the minister. so i think in fact, if anything, nothing you know, it feels strong today. he feels empowered by the performance of his government in the war and 11 on and in gaza and feel that he could easily fire his defense minister. the other thing that shows that this government would be more consolidated is the fact that when it comes to the religious issue with the ultra orthodox spot, these in the correlations lot show something like a good the and as well as the smart searches and, and the big deals of the world, they would feel more at ease. now that go on is not in government. now, this is very important. so, i mean, that's not to say that he was some sort of a model that if anything gallano is even more precious to more violent than any of

these religious fanatics. he's not like that and he's not politically fanatic, but he has been so beloved in this war like he was back in 2008. when is our launched? it's in fitness war on guys. he's the one who decided to implement the so called the head doctrine to basically destroyed guys. he's the one that most of the, along with guns to uh, bomb guys, up back to the stone age. in fact, it's been bob woodward's book war that just came out recently and it blinking the secretaries page of the united states said that in composition were gone. he felt ashamed will, to his, for listening to go on go on to a saw a violent in the way he was expressing that it doesn't matter how many people die.

it doesn't matter how many people are killed, that he will 1st in his mission. so much so the thing even scared the secretary state of the united states. so galvan was quite violent for his quite a while and quite frustrated. but he doesn't see i do, i would nothing you know. and they said, and they have personal friction, nothing you know doesn't once to me, that's what i me to set up a government where there's a 2nd in command in the defense ministry that the questions any, and everyone on that point model. and if i could jump in, i mean, does this address some of the issues which you are gallano was complaining about? things like there's a lack of, of compass for, as well as war effort that the total cost of total victory by nothing. yeah. who is quote, unquote, nonsense this is the point that goes to the, the difference between a military man and a political event. nothing. yeah. who has eyes is, is on guys,

is also on his government and who's coordination and in his standing in the public . so nothing you know is a political animal. gelham is, is a, is a military animal. galant was trying to run a war and he thinks that, you know, the 2nd sign post 2nd objectives. and that there is perhaps there's a wiggle room to have a pause, get some more hostages out, and continue with the war. but also know that it was the one who wanted to pretend a strike against his butler at the very, very beginning of the war, even the very early days of the war. so he is like violent on all directions and up and on. and guys on the west bank and so on, so forth. but he sees these things in minnesota terms, but then he also sees them both in terms of military terms, but more importantly, in political terms, nothing you know, wants to people what garza and he wants to maintain it. the military is a bit the is a bit hesitant about how long would it be that would be that,

would that be a good, a lot more fed moving forward when we faced the same thing that we faced before? 2005. the same thing 11 on. so the military asks different sets of questions because they don't necessarily have political emissions. but nothing yahoo and bing fee and small church and cuts and get on sort of our political and the most and the are minions of nothing. you know, enhanced, they have a political program as much as they have a war agenda. and the one agenda is meant to serve the political program, not the other way or wrong. all right, and that is model on the shot of a senior political analyst is now as americans voted for the next president is riley's counting is continuing rather its attacks against palestinians. at least 61 . people have been killed across the strip. thousands of people aflame based la here in the north. the latest force displacement by as well as minute tree. the come out of the line hospital is being shelled for the day. so i'm

a solve. it has more than the nicest attacks. and what do you, a selection could mean for as well as genocide, a war election day in america? another day of mass murder in gauze, tuesday morning saw more scenes of panic. it come all at one hospital in northern casa, under direct is really showing for, with sheltering families, hospital stuff, everyone desperate to get a show, but there is no refuge outside either. their situation seems hopeless. some reports from stuff inside say, these are there, find more large crowds left basically here in the north after the latest is rarely for us to

clear out. this is what ethnic cleansing looks like. digging bodies out with bare hands, funerals for entire families, grave after grave, some filled with headless children or just bags of human flesh, the in comprehensible aftermath of what palestinians will tell you is israel's campaign of illumination of their people. it may possible because of us back these reilly's to don't only too much children, grandchildren. they charged him to ashes the whole family, including a 4 year old child, a 12 year old girl together with their father and mother. what wrong did they do? nothing. the destroyed old but sparrow, children, sparrow, children for god's sake. the next

american president will inherit a genocide being committed by israel, being paid for by us tax payers. democratic and republican campaign speeches suggesting a change in the white house is unlikely to change us foreign policy. making it all most or whoever wins didn't lose his english robbie, all just is right. a full series of killed at least 3 palestinians in a football player and the occupied west bank surveillance video showed the momentum imagery vehicle crashed into a car. so these are full, deadly shocked to people inside and prevented ambulances from reaching the scene. palestinian find his all baffling is ready, forces in the town is ready forces of also being carrying out attacks elsewhere in

the occupied westbank and that stride killed. 2 people into a boswell 2 others died during a raid in geneva. these very minute tree is increased the tax and the ever since the start of the war on gone. so this is riley forces have demolished a home and occupied east jerusalem. this happened in the sun neighborhood. the city one area more than a 100 homes are on the demolition and fiction oldest, texting, 1500 people. israel has also long small strikes in the southern areas of lebanon, lebanese national news agency sizes. radio tax have destroyed $37.00 towns a more than $40000.00 houses in the south. since september, the us has declined to condemn the strikes a spring and dose device jones and some by roads. so how closely how people are watching the selections that are 11 and for what it means for them.

well savvy people are certainly watching it very closely, but uh, regardless of the outcome, people here just want their results to be done and dusted because they believed that everything is on hold here in terms of a possible solution to the conflict going on between has will and is your out as a result of us selection. we've also heard from the lebanese officials, that'd be a very, including as a speaker, part of a to a said that these, these far talks have been put on hold as a result of the us election. so and tell her official results. people here don't expect anything at you to take place. well, how witty, maybe liberties to feel that regardless of who takes over the white house in the near next few days as a result of the election. it's not going to drastically change the u. s. foreign policy when it comes to the middle east. advantage here believe that both candidates, donald trump are pretty much 2 sides of the same point. what they are hoping for is

that at least a there will be some movement on discipline medic front. despite that, we've seen a number of attempts by the current administration to try to reach a ceasefire. the all of them has failed so far. now we're at a point of a sense, so as a result of the election so many here are hoping that the results will provide an opportunity for diplomatic passports. related to that thanks so much dosage of already from favorite size. just recap some of the latest lines which have been dropping and voters are out in the united states of america. choosing the next president, we can see some why fix coming in from voting stations and what is an extremely close race according to the pulse. while that's been going on, we have other breaking news coming in talking about the dismissal, the prime minister of is all dismissing his defense minister,

you will have gone from his position. this is the person who b i. c, c prosecutor was seeking interest one for those uh, issues. just an example of how this us selection will be impacting issues, right? the cost of at least the the us selections are finally here from doha. headquarters will bring you live coverage as we've been son phones. from here in washington dc. we will have special guess examining the challenges a win thing the next present, plus reaction from across the united states. i'll be live on the road with say, here is campaign. adobe reporting on team trump. i think we can, we could push on swing speed, join us for a night of special coverage in what could be the most globally consequential race to the white house in modern science. the u. s. selections on the houses, the

a shilling, the doc chapter in the cause of the 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 on that it gives you the story. collection, consequential presidents get shot it with the potential to impact the shape of the well we were respected before i will not close the ups of tyrants and dictators who are very close to world war 3. and people don't realize that we're closer than we've ever been with many desperate for change. we need to have these long range capability. nato will become

a country of military operations against the nuclear state. what is the world to expect? let us know each other in the world we we have to be brave, otherwise we're not gonna ever go to the power of the choice of one nation. affect us all the, the us 2024 elections on out to 0. in india, illegal mining is having a devastating impact on an ancient mountain range and the local residence. and you look at how much dust there is everywhere. my father's during the phase 101 east travels to india to investigate my name's gimme a ralph. as he mounted on out to say that he says he went toward towards syria to provide a lifetime entail was very interesting,

but not in the eyes of his government. this has been home for so many years in the final parts of the series. we follow the story of a british age worker as he flees from it with his family after being arrested by a powerful village shop. one of the toughest times when they tortured me. state listing syria on now to 0 injustice. for me is the driving force of why i do this to show people what it's like to live in places where injustice isn't something you read in. the news is something that happens to every single day. whether it's a war or natural disaster, whether it's political corruption, making sure that they understand. and this simple language is absolutely crucial. the cities already 50 percent evacuated, most of those people actually left in the early days of the war. i couldn't do this job without the best cumberland,

best produces the best spaces and those other people to ireland in order to be able to get that message out to the weld. the 2 stories of strong willed with challenging traditional female stereotypes in the middle dominate, decide to make a difference. if i go a loophole in how some of these with the will to is highly contaminate to live in the class. the risk in it all out is in the humanitarian crisis, and 11 and calls for immediate and sustained action. ok, foundations, less than an emergency response, serves as a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play a crucial role in alleviating suffering. promoting community wellbeing and contributing to the recovery joint ok. foundation in its mission to support 11 and

during this critical time. full now or visit. okay. adult tool. the voting on the way in the us presidential election and was described as a race that's too close to pull the one sam is a them, this is out to 0 live from the hall. so coming off, i certainly don't want any violence, but i certainly don't have to tell these are great people. republican, candida donald trump has cost his balance in smaller dollars to promising to lead america to.
