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 well the hosting is on the way in the us presidential election was described as a race that's too close to the sammy's a them this is i'll just do a live from dell hall. so coming up, i certainly don't want to any violence, but i certainly don't have to tell. these are great people. the republican candidate at donald trump has cost these ballots in florida to promising to lead americans, new heights of glory. tomlin harris is already voted by mail,

invalid the stall studies valley. she urge people to go to the polls, saying every vote counts shakeup in days. ready to government defense mid as they all have gone. 5 by the prime minister. that sizes radio attacks continue across garza getting at least 61 people on tuesday. the 1st thing is when on the way in the us as americans will decide who will be the next president, they'll choose whether to send donald trump back to the white house or make history by like seeing the country's 1st woman president, polls in o 7 swing states have opened as votes as cost the balance that's we've been reporting because of the like total college. these all the states to watch.

pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia, michigan, wisconsin, arizona, and nevada. with photos on costing the ballots. more than 240000000 americans are eligible to vote about 82000000 votes before election day. in the last few hours, republican presidential candidate donald trump voted in the state of florida. and i'm just hearing that in certain states. it's going to be a long time and they 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 that 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. i just don't how it looks like we have

a very substantial lead. we have a team of correspondence in battle, ground states following the election. john holman, is in las vegas, nevada rob reynolds is in tempe, arizona. speak to them in just a few minutes. but 1st, look at how election day in the us is unfolding level is in the critical state of north carolina with votes as have set a new record, molden hoff over the cost the balance 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 on oil 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. republicans have shown up in force republican candidate, donald trump, cost his balance in his home state of florida. his opponents, democratic, coming to harrisburg to early in pennsylvania. the bustle ground state seen as a v wants when hundreds of votes has turned out. donald trump, what it in 2016 jo, by did resolutely back just about in 2020. now trump on terrace, or in a dad, he's absolutely most important election of my life time. so i definitely wouldn't miss this so much on the line here. lot of consequences from the selection from ground georgia, the science of a law suit over the 2020 results. so eager lines and our desire to another battle

ground state that so it's 2020 result in the courts also seeing big turn out. donald trump was furious that the democrats won this by a tiny margin, a stays on the border 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 starkly different political candidates, we see to stop the different images upholding stations. some places long lines haven, north carolina, very short lines if any, because this place broke it's early voting ratcliffe, more than half the state has voted already. no matter where the votes this 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 out. i'll just say era. raleigh, north carolina. well that's head to nevada now and of the impulse in battle, ground states in the vote. don't all that is that joins us from las vegas. so the states still up in the air as we try to read where those non partisan vote is

a going yeah, definitely is. and actually i was just talking to the secretary of state from nevada, and we were talking about the fact that those non partisan votes is, is not that they registered, that automatically super motivated to decide whether it's cost for one kind of that will be of the what happened in this state is that it's automatic when you go for a driving license, you get registered as a vote site and the default option is non partisan. so he was saying to me, yet it's really up for eva, candidates to have gone out and try to get those that focuses on both. most of them . he said, we tend to be young just because the people going for the driving license for the 1st time, presumably. and it's up to the kinds of bikes to try and get the. remember the in nevada, say 6 alexis full of the drugs. that's the least of any of this wing 7 swing states

. so this is going to be crucial this site only if there's no clear path to victory, it's getting late or in the evening. but these polls here close the lights of and some of the, of a spring states, and they just looking for that height of electoral college votes to get over the line. and that's when the vada might come into play, then to get it into play. candidates have to appeal to the economy and the concerns of both is about the performance of the economy, right? that somebody, that's the top issue here. be it wherever people uh, wherever the in the room thoughts of the state that tends to vote will read republican or here in las vegas. usually it tends move them across, blew everyone's worried about the economy. they're worried about the cost of living a price is going up re speaking to wal mad, a gas station that said everything's just skyrocketed and i just talked to make choices. am i going to take my children out this weekend cannot really afford to do

that. and the other one was talking about to us about i'm just to leave a call sometimes by the side of the road because she doesn't have enough money to get the gas to get her where she needs to go. another thing here link to about is house price is a shortage of affordable housing needs. the price is partly because of the prices have gone up in this state. a lot of people, especially low income residents, 70 percent of them are on the day in july and this spending 30 percent of their income or more of the rent, meaning they haven't got money from the things. so these are really bread and thoughts. the issues of the people that live in nevada might be home to las vegas with tours and dollars come rolling in, but a lot of people are struggling with stuff that thanks so much to john home and let's head over to world reynolds. now he is live for us from $10.00 pay in arizona and rob. it's not a swing states, a bell, where the state, i think, 8000 the last 12 windows of the white house, one arizona which makes it what

a very important t leaf in the couple of those election full cost is right. yes, that's right. same is exactly true, the state was one, as our viewers may recall by joe biden, by a very, very razor thin margin of love, of to just of a little more than 10000 votes. back in 2020, i've heard both arizona voters and holsters and, and, and analysts described the state as having a kind of independent minded as those they don't like to be necessarily pigeonholed or marked or march rank and file a to the tune of one party or another, it's a diverse in its set of opinions, and that's why uh, arizona is, as you said, kind of a bellwether. but in fact, a 3rd or more of all arizona voters register as independent. but the issues here

are the same as they are everywhere else around the, the country, the economy, issues of reproductive freedom and the right to abortion. and of course, immigration says this is a border states. now we're here at the su, arizona state university. you see behind me a long line of young people lining up to vote in this election. and i'd like to introduce you right now to antonio, our going antonio, thank you very much for for being with us. come a little closer. that's perfect. all right, thank you. sir, um, you were telling me earlier that since you're 18 now and you're, you're eligible to vote, but for your whole life you, you've been been grappling with this issue of the rhetoric around immigration. how is that effective, you remember? and what i was in 5th grade, trump had started his campaign to run for office as president. and i remember the rhetoric that was used was a lot of the partition of mexicans just like, you know,

some general. and i remember the way that made me feel when i was younger, i didn't understand it. i all i heard was mexican and deportation, and it may be fearful. i remember when i was young, i talked to my friends about it and i was afraid i'd get to forward it even though i was born here. and i think just the use of the rhetoric rather is it's just hateful. truthful. and it doesn't bring hope to the country it, it just spreads the hate. when, when you hear about the candidate for president trump talking about mass deportations of, of millions of undocumented, mike, it's many of whom are from a latin american countries. how does that make you feel? um, i think he does a lot of speaking on the economy of the country and deporting the hard workers that are mixed in like, you know, like you said earlier for the piano, um, it doesn't help the country at all. we seen other states try and use similar policies like florida, and we saw how i drove so many workers out of state and how it affected that state

economy. they couldn't build houses for months and you had people who had no idea what they're doing up there. these people worked their entire lives in these jobs. they know what they're doing. and uh, let me ask you one last thing. uh, as a 1st time vote or you just turn 18 in in, in a couple of months ago. you told me uh, do you see the selection is one that will affect your future maybe for the rest of your life. of course, if it policies that trump endorses us, the because the present and those policies become to fruition, they'll start to me for the rest of my life. and he treats the country like a business. and yes, how many started businesses? and if the country happens to be one of his, the businesses that affects everyone, people will be, we can get food, the job market started. crazy. people aren't getting hired antonia, we gotta wrap it up for time. but thank you very much for speaking with us today. very much appreciate that. thank you antonio. so uh, that's the voice of, uh, of 0, one of the young uh, new voters here in swing state,

arizona. and we'll be talking to more more of them as the day goes on. but for now, back to you sent me. thanks so much, rob reynolds in tempe, arizona for us. now, the ra 7 stays the lookout, full swing states that could determine the outcome of the race for the white house . the system to choose a president is based on what's called the electoral college, as several vanya explains. now, in most democracies elections are pretty simple, voters vote the candidate with the most votes wins, or the party with the most votes wins. and a pointed leader to come in, but that is not how it works in the united states. instead of voting directly for our present as americans pick 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 or electoral college motors 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 rarely voting for is their state electors, the group of people who will vote for the presidents on their behalf. the states have electors based on their population size. so look at this, take a big state like california this year. it has 54 boats 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 state texas huge state big population and 2025800000 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 elector for roughly every 142000 voters. texas, if you do, the math has one for around 466000 voters. what is 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 any time soon. the now is that some news coming out of as well with the prime minister, but it'd be nice in yeah. has dismissed his defense minister. you will have galant galant has been publicly critical of nothing. yeah. who's management of the war on gossip and the cold for new goals to be set for as well as war. the prime minister's office says foreign affairs minister, israel cats will replace him. let's go to him about in the jordanian capital. he's

covering this from my mind because he's right, the government is banned down to 0 from reporting in the occupied westbank. i'm from inside as well. so i believe we'll have to go over the hearing from israel katz. what does it mean saying, as well, somebody who we know about some of the reactions on the any is right now. we know that the uh, the head of the opposition. yeah. he left the house called on these ladies to take to the streets to oppose this decision. and the describe the stocking of the defense minister at the time of war as an act of madness. and also we have the reaction of the parent of the study, the families, the families for the form of the families of the hostages and the missing. who said that they are extremely concerned about the decision. and they have fee is

the, this southern change in the middle of the war might affect the face of the hostages . this decision hasn't to be surprising. so many is what it is though, because it has to be talked about for many months now as prime minister netanyahu has been threatening to take it last year. he took it, he took the same decision, the stock you'll have got on, but the people refused to for the streets on the 1st team to take him by. now the question is whether the docs in audio would be defeated the game because we have seen people already taking to the streets tonight instead of the at the general sloane. oh, it's to the home of nathan. yeah. who is due to some of the occupied is just them, have been body k to security forces are also out to the streets 5 to or prevent scales. so the question now is whether the people that we say will be able to force nothing yahoo to we talk to use decision. but also, you know, many people are commenting on the timing. saying that the fact that he waited until

the day of the us selection is not that good. we see those. so nathaniel, who is trying to consolidate his bow, a game and he's trying to take decisions only with his own. the people he favors will all be on the top rights extremist us, all right. and the government and the only voice that has been very significantly against some of these decisions both regarding the war and regarding other matters like the conscription of the, of the how the deem bob's voice is now out of the government. and how many wise you're talking, we're looking at light fixtures coming in from tel aviv. it looks like we're already seeing this playing out in the street, take us through the public reaction as well. again, as i said, people have immediate to be taken to the states, and that's also how sco is cited with comes by many ah opposition leaders or at

least 2 main opposition leaders who called for these demonstrations to take place. the question now is whether these people, these, these limitations would be us huge at impacts from us. the most places that took place last year after a prime minister 10 yahoo sacked us, go out and or so whether the government will be listening to these demonstrates us because without the over the last several months, the how the demonstrations non stop every weekend and even sometimes during the days of the week, against the delaying of the, of a deal to free the hostages and also against the policies of nothing else. who is accused by these ladies of having no plan to end this war at all. waging to be swore mainly for his own political purposes, or i will leave it that thanks so much for him as vile or fulton to us from my mind

. in jordan. of the still ahead on al jazeera, heavy rains, his boss alone, a disrupting large parts of the city. the search victims of last week's flash blonds eastern spring continues the in it already from the world sign for the escalation of the president vitamin i a working to in this war. i did encourage you to get this over ways. it has to get over with fast, with many desperate for change is absolutely sense. so to avoid then all out what the level, what is the world to expect to each other and the world we are, we have to be brave, otherwise we're not going to have a country left. how with,

with the choice of one nation effect to possible the us 2024 on out to 0, a full year of war in gaza. and now with this really troops invading lebanon or the us in israel working to reshape the entire region. who do americans trust to handle their economy? immigration, and the wars and ukraine and gaza? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. the colleges here with the

you're watching out, is there a time to recap? i'll headlines now. millions of americans are heading to the polls in the us to choose the next president to announce these high in several prison, full swing states, including north carolina. it set a new record. we've moved them off of both in the state, having already come to the balance of the votes. in a surprise, move is very the prime minister of and you mean nothing. yeah. was psyched. is defense minister you go on isn't? yeah, describe a crisis of plus said the position with goats is form of foreign minister. israel can always, riley is continuing its attacks on palestinians. in garza, at least 61 people have been killed across the strip. then best of all of it has more than the nicest attacks and what the us election could be for as well as genocide. a war election day in america. another

day of mass murder in garza tuesday morning. so more seems a panic. it come all at one hospital and northern gospel. under direct is really showing for we 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, finalize. the more large crowds left basically here in the north, after the latest is really for us to clear out. this is what the estimate 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 comprehensive will ask them of what palestinians will tell you. is israel's campaign of illumination of their people? it made possible because of us back. how did these riley's to don't only to my children, grandchildren, they charge them to ashes the whole family, including a 4 year old child, a 12 year old girl together with their father and mother. what wrong that 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 or just now israel has launched more strikes in southern areas of $11.11, a national news agency says the tax destroyed $37.00 towns more than $40000.00 houses in the south since september. that in spain, more rain is caused further floods. damage ambrose renew. disruption to rose ned, travel rescue teams in valencia are looking for people missing since flash floods. swipe the region last week. sonia guy, ego has more from pipe pulse to the valencia region. this is one of the was

affected areas and that is oscar. the town. which also had one of the highest say. now this is where the clean up operation side most places like this. you have a specialized ministry emergency unit as well. taking in between recovery operations here as well. now the spanish prime minister, almost 15000 other police offices and truth to this area designates, exist gravely attracted from this. so we can facilitate more guessing that is a mystical which has been happening.

we say say well ahead of this is all well that brings us the end of this show, whether it's next that it's inside the story. the not fit to being spring is no surprise to find that'll be major changes in temperature when you get lines like this or you think you have probably a cold front and you'd be right. it's held in this possible strategy of 40 over their backs. even 45, but still that he's been stretched down to was camera melvin. but then the last about the day before then a line of thunderstorms were shout develops and the temperature drops may be up to 10 degrees west of that. so quad anyway, posted by 23 degrees and that's safe sampling system doesn't do very much on run.

so we got to a bit of right in the cook straits, maybe not till friday. get significant remaining seconds, a 100 showers off showing it. no, not so much in java, possibly in chicago, but we brought some bit further east through sort of res, either just ending the dr. period. there is pretty way where the returning to me in law and down through west and talent as well. and obviously in ging is of notice of tyson which may well head to the north of the zone. and given that we've got the winter wind coming in the northeast mountains, signatures introducing co dressers that are still kind of feel cooler in hong. she was a bit of rain, maybe home wednesday or possibly thursday. that's the same time the engine as a tie for just graces to the north of lose on was possible wind damage, but also a lot of rain. the mileage size is inspect, 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 france wants to saw european union plans to find car makers who failed to make enough electric vehicles. europe plans to switch to all east by 2035. but it's huge, automotive industry is struggling with the change. so why is it in trouble? and why are politicians so worried? this is inside the

hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much i'm shown. france once a hall to plans by the you define european car makers who.
