or the, there's no limit to have a dream container stuff in your own event, you know, counter everything's the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm patty cole, haines. this is the al jazeera news hour with special coverage on the 2024. your selection lie from washington, d. c. pamela harris, visit the democratic national committee headquarters in washington before meetings, supporters of howard university, later on election night. you know, we went in was

a very big lead today. and it looks like republicans have shown up in force. republican candidate donald trump is cast is valid in florida and it concepts the polls show is too close to call. i'm john 100 in gwinnett county, georgia where election workers are processing, early mailing balance, and preparing for those from election day. and rob rentals and the suite state of arizona where the economy of immigration in women's, reproductive freedoms are very much on the mind of voters in this presidential election. and i'm signed these i them here in the hall. so coming up, protests dropped across this route along to the prime minister of spies. this defense minister you, i'll go on that as is right. the attacks continue across golf, killing at least 61 people on tuesday.

the hello and welcome again to a very wendy rooftop in washington dc. tens of millions of americans are going to hold to decide who will be there. next president, voters will choose whether to send donald trump back to the white house behind me, or make history by electing the country's 1st female president poll. suggest the race is too close to call. 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 casting their balance more than 240000000 americans are eligible to about to vote about 82000000 voting before election day. democratic candidate, cala harris has made a surprise stop at the headquarters of the democratic national committee in washington dc to thank her campaign volunteers. it's her 1st public appearance on election day. harris spoke to a number of callers on the phone and

a final bid to get supporters, including potential future ones to the voting booth. what's your name? say? hi. to you to grow 10 years. so we have teams of correspond as in battle ground states following the election. john hendern is in atlanta, georgia. john home is in las vegas, nevada 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 is unfolding so far. fillable is in the critical state of north carolina where voters have set a new record where that has the state has already cast their ballots. for the 6 during the night, even before it was light, they were waiting to have the site housing 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 or 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 v wants when hundreds of votes has turned out. donald trump, what it in 2016 joe biden. russell's the back just to bounce in 2020. now trump and terrace all in

a dead. 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 this selection buckle 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 results and the courts also see big turn out. donald trump was furious that the democrats won this by a tiny margin. a stays on the boulder 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 someplace is 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, john 100 and so john 100 and joins us now. from gwinnett county, just outside of his last at georgia johns, the former president's already casting down the integrity of the process. any reported irregularity so far. what do you see as well, let me tell you 1st a little about where i am and, and i'll get right to that. we're in, we're in the gwinnett county election headquarters. what's happening here is if you see those black boxes, those are scanners, the early votes have been scanned into the memory cards have been taken out. and they've been moved in to where they will be counted over here on this side. this is where they are counting the vote by mail ballots. they have all been tallied up to today. what you see is people working on today's balance. these are the balance that have just come in within the past 24 hours. and this will all be tallied all the early and mailing

a balance will be tallied by the end of voting today at 7 o'clock an hour later, they have to report all of these results except for what came in today and across all of georgia. that's about $5000000.00 votes total, which would set a new record. and that's what we expect to happen here. according to the, the secretary of state. here, you talked about irregularities. we had some in 2020. there was intimidation, poll workers. and today, what we've had, patty is a number of threats on calling stations here in fulton. well, in fulton county, which is where atlanta is, we're in gwinnett right next door, and then in a few other spots, police say that those are taken care of. they were cleared and that those pulling stations will open a little bit later tonight, so people can vote. the secretary of state's office is the culprit in this case, was russian interference. so you say there is no real threat that these threats

came from mailing addresses in russia. so there have been some threats which would qualify as a regular use. but other than that, maybe a little of pulling in intimidation. we know that some cold reserve or say that they were filmed as they were doing their jobs earlier. paddic i know tell, i remember in 2020 as they started to get really tensed in places across the country, polling stations. protests are showing up, knocking on windows, shouting uh, walking in there today. what was the security like? i know some places of put in bullet proof windows. uh but what did you feel? what did you experience? did you have to go through uh, making the pallet or what was it like? there was no baggage ometer, but they are not loading here today. uh, this has been there just tabulating. and this was a voting center for early voting. so really it's just workers here and media, so it's a little different. but when we have gone to polling stations,

there is intense security even here. and in every polling place in gwinnett county, there is a sheriff's deputy in their monitoring events. these workers here, they have panic buttons on their cell phones where they can immediately dial 911, and call in police. the co workers have police set up so that they can respond. they talked to the supervisor of elections, who says they can get police here to respond within minutes. if anything happens, which so far, nothing terribly serious. has fedex john, that's good to hear. hopefully it continues that way. thank you, john 100. there are 7 states to look out for spring states that could determine the outcome of the race for the white house. the system to choose a president is based on the electoral college as 0 a serial value exploits. 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 pointed to leader to government. but that is not how it works in the united

states. instead of voting directly for a 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 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 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 winter table, a policy electro is a chosen based on

a who wins the states popular vote. and let's take an example of tape 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 elector for roughly every 142000 voters. texas, if you do, the math has one for around 466000 voters. 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 in 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. nevada is one of the battleground states. john home is there, he joins us live from las vegas, nevada, as economy seems to be struggling more than many of the other states. what are the people they're telling you about that?

is that driving their vote of the it definitely is a big issue for the value to say one of the highest levels of unemployment in the states. house prices rooms are high and who so the cost of living is among the highest in the united states. actually have here, we'd meet you on colorado who is in las vegas here, a poker dealer. can get much more vegas than that. and who's been living here for 18 years? you just went into the stadium behind us and cost you boat and you costs that you've been telling us that donald trump, that's correct. so why did you fight the candidate trump, or very 1st of all, you just these gonna basically help the casino work or like you said, and i'm, i'm just basically tommy is going to try to take away the taxes on the tips because we're getting double taxed sooner paycheck with those virtually that we get from, you know, our guests at the casino and he's going to try to do away with that for us. and that's a huge part of my income. so that would really help me out a lot. does somebody know, so it comes on how or is off the him?

she said she do the same thing. her other all the things here over issues that euro so evaluating on job. yeah. basically. um, i just put the total come out here. so, you know, she's opening up the borders and doing all the stuff that, you know, it's not good for our country. basically the everything is being like the housing costs as it has gone up over the years. um with joe biden and office and we just want to get back to, you know, when trump was president, you know, to make things great. again, what are the things that don't neutrons been repeating in these press conferences? these raise questions about the volume you've just going to cost you or do you anticipate that you've already the sites and i'm hoping it safe, but now you know, like like i said last time that we voted, you know, um he didn't get an office and like he had a commanding lead. he was like a 20 to one favorite. and so early in the morning when that all flip flopped in all these, suppose the ballots came in. and the good thing about like, you know, trump, you know, he's basically trying to get, you know, where we stand, where id,

you know. so i know they know that we're roading, people are voting twice. you know, he's, he started great for our country in the past and i like to see him and there again . joan, thanks for sharing your view with the 2nd. so we're here in las vegas where people are coming out to vote. this is actually the biggest uh the stadium is the biggest polling center in the history of nevada. the, the, the button eh, eh, secretary of state just told us thought you were chatting to him. so this is a battle ground state at the moment. it's met connect between pamela harris and donald trump. 6 electoral college votes up for grabs, here to see who's going to be the next president, the united states. well, thank you john. you're going to have an exciting night. i'm sure we'll be hearing much more from you. so thanks for now. arizona is another one of those crucial states rob reynolds joins us from the city of tempe raw during the college campus. the youth vote is not always enthusiastic to vote. what are you hearing from

students there because all the experts i'm talking to are saying that voting group, how they turn out, that could determine the election. so yes, indeed, the patty that the, the youth vote is crucial in the selection. both candidates have been trying to rally used through social media through appearing on popular podcasts and other other kinds of an orthodox media. and the, the, the efforts will see how well they turn out. but i can't say that according to a study done by tough university in massachusetts and published just late last month, use voter registration. so the youngest voters between the ages of $18.29 are actually down in this election cycle in a majority of states in arizona for example, or down about 3 percent. 2020 was the high watermark for youth boating in the united states. so we'll have to see how things turn out again this time,

right at the moment in this state, it's just as evenly divided as it can possibly be. joe biden took the state over donald trump in 2020 by just over 10000 votes. most polls show trump with a slight lead in arizona, but as a voter told me, not very long ago, holes don't actually vote people do. so let's talk to one of those people right now . and i'd like to introduce coal service in coal. you're a student here at the arizona state university. thanks for joining us. i can see or make america great. cap and make a great record. great. again, cap. excuse me. why are you supporting president to for, for us? yes, so 3 things i look at when i'm voting for president is the economy, our southern border and war. first off, when president trump was in office, our economy was and all time high prices were cheaper, gas was cheaper. we're drilling and using our natural resources. and in the last 4 years, we haven't really been doing that, and it's cause

a lot of americans to be able to afford the lifestyle is that they dream of. as far as the southern border goes, the southern border was super strong under president trump. and now we're letting tens of thousands of, when for day, we need to clean up what's going on inside our own house before we welcome and guests. and right now there's a lot of crime in violent activity going on because of the people flooding to the sudden gates does foreign policy and, and the state of the world now factor into your decision to support trump. of course, i mean everyone wants peace on and under president trump there was no new worst started for the 1st time in years. not to mention, we had great relations with russia and he was the 1st president to step in north korean boundaries on, in countries respected us and we respected countries, and that was a very important thing. very good. uh, thank you very much for your, for your comments cole. i appreciate that. well, let you get back to class, and uh, right now, uh, the wind behind me for,

for voters patty. these young people have been lined up for hours. i'm them the but the line seems to be moving pretty smoothly. they're getting in and out, but there are a lot of people. so you would not know that there was any lack of enthusiasm among youthful voters here on the campus of arizona state university. now back to you thanks for of it always amazes me is. busy americans have to wait so long in line devoted to this do not complicated. i want to introduce you to my panel of experts . these are guess, patrick, mira is german of the dc republican party. ahmed the there is president of united voices, a civic and engagement organization. bringing in minority is into politics and jennifer, victor is a professor of political science at george mason university. all right, i want to start with you patrick s. who's going to work quickly? who's going to win in y? donald trump is going to win and here's why it's a very close election. but this election cycle since february of 2021, the r and c and president trump had been telling people to early vote. you may

recall in 2020. donald trump literally told people not to vote early in this election cycle. you see a early voting among republicans up to 50 percent in a number of the swing states. they're voting for commer it's, it's possible, but it's out of that 50 percent. that's still a net that's, you know, that's more republicans were voting early for the republican candidate. then we're voting in 2020 because the nominee isn't saying not to vote early. all right, i'm ed. what do you think? it's hard to tell is going to be really tight. so i'm going to keep my eye on georgia in north carolina from takes those then he's going to be president. or when the rest of it is going to be very hard for comment to catch up. if she doesn't get those 2 states, we're going to keep an eye on pennsylvania because pennsylvania is you can the sense that they don't open their meal in balance until the day of the election. so they could be one of the last states. and in the meantime, trump's numbers will be up,

california is also so that is supposed to be one of the last places to be counted. so as part of the popular vote, as of tonight, trump will likely be ahead, which will go to underscore his point that he actually has the popular vote. and then when things change later on, he's going to say that, well, they're trying to rigate and but regardless of what happens, i think trump is going to claim victory tonight. but it is key where they actually went, that may not be determined unfortunately by what happens in the election. it may end up being either going through the house or the supreme court. it's going to be a little bit chaotic if it's not a landslide, and i think it's a really tight race. so unless it's the last live there's, we're not going to know the results for some time. jennifer, you're the expert on all things. politics. you understand it's an actual science, i did speak to someone earlier, it was really interest. busy they said this is going to be the end of modern poland because they think the polls are just so wrong because they've had to record for so many different things like waiting, trump, voters, and women vote. and it's just what is probably broken. okay, we gotta be clear because there's polling and then there's forecasting. so polling

is fine, forecasting is a mess. so, and the difference here is that when you're pulling, you have some population about what you want to know something you sample from them . you question them, but that's not what's going on here. we're, we're guessing who's going to be voting. we're asking people about their future behavior. it's a complicated business that involves a lot of statistical modeling. and this is, this decal. modelers are out there making very educated, but you know, guesses about how those questions are going to get answered and they're making them into the models. um, it does seem like i've seen a lot of evidence looking at the various posters that a lot of posters are using similar modeling choices or assumptions into those statistics models. which is why we've seen this quite sort of sense of hurting in the poles. and if the polls are then, therefore making it look like it's going to be very close a navy, but i think there's also a chance that it's not going to be very close. the voting. you know, the, the election is not determined until the voting is done and all the ballots are counted. and the, the polls don't determine the outcome. the media doesn't term in the outcome. and we just got to wait for those. uh, you know,

those results to actually roll and i've been just real quick to all of you. i've been going through my memory. i'm pretty old. i've you ever seen increased where the polls are, like, i don't know what the good. how do you know usually of many more posters declaring victory for their partisan canada. it's. it's just because they don't wanna take the shift because they were wrong. a 2016. they're also wrong, the 20202182. so people are losing, you know, trust in this pulling and they want to can kind of kind of continue and, you know, to be in business. but i think in reality it's also a reflection that this election is kind of a referendum on the american political system. a sizable number of voters don't trust the system anymore and that the results because they feel like it's so politicized. so you know, the people that want to keep the status quo and believing the system they're coming up for harris. the ones that distressed the system, they're going for trump. even people that don't like trump or going with trump because they feel like he's going to disrupt the system that's not working for them . it's the type of american democracy where the popular vote does not necessarily

reflect the person that ends up being president. and people will feel like it's not working for them. and so it's going to be a referendum on the election system here. patrick, that phrase meeting you were already hearing the former president, trump talk about paper ballots and their voting machines casting down and the outcome of the election. if you look at the evidence, the american elections are incredibly transparent and safe in a country of 330000000 people at most. you have like a dozen people that get arrested. i would ask you as a republican, do you believe american elections are free and fair? i believe american elections are free and fair. do you believe that donald trump last the 2020 election? i do is doing it. do republicans still speak to you? they have it so, so they do, i mean, look, a lot of a trump speaks a lot and hey, beverly, he does these rallies and these rallies work super well for him. i was on

a call with chris i. so the, the last week, the campaign manager, and one of the things he noted is that literally with each of these rallies, they are recording every single person there who has voted. and then getting those, the people haven't voted out to vote. so there's actually a purpose to these rallies. so president trump talks for a couple hours, and people are wildly entertains because he says these things, he's a showman. he has a history in show business, and he's a very orthodox american political candidate, a man, you know, you, you've never saw this in our lifetimes before he puts together these very unique coalitions of trump, supporters, me what, what convention in your lifetime, would you imagine that whole cogan would be among the keynote speakers, but this is speaking to that. this is that, that vote or that feels a way needed that voter who doesn't typically vote. and these are the types of people, but he needs to, when i was in some of the swing state, i was there, it wasn't just a whole kogan, it was a ripping shirt. haul co,

get an actual live. was there to not ever anything anyone thought they'd see at the republican national convention? i don't wanna ask you this young people in this country because of the war and casa people of color, young people, for the 1st time ever impulse, or now dramatically say this, a, this a synthesize more with the palestinians. then with the israelis there is palpable anger among these groups. these are the groups that harris needs to become president. is this going to do her candidacy? it's definitely if she does lose, it's going to be one of the reasons one of the main reasons because what's happening cause in their reaction, especially when those groups are in a sense, you know, swing states like georgia or arizona or specifically michigan. if she lives in michigan is going to be very hard for her and a lot of that is going to be because of their, of, and the must them vote. that's in michigan who somehow the heck trump has been able to reach out to. but she has not necessarily been made, been able to make inroads because they don't trust that she is going to be any different than bite. and so she's alien and

a lot of people in that demographic. and this was a huge part of the coalition that helped by then when in 2020 and now she's losing that demographic. many of them are going 3rd party. some of them are even going towards trump. so this is a critical part of that coalition that saying that they don't want more of the same and she's not promising to do anything different. even something as a, as you know, small gesture, like having a arab american or posting and speak at the dnc. they refused, yet trump had around and he brought some new moms on stage and said, all these guys are great. this is the same president who did the muslim band. and now he's ever, you know, for political reasons, because he's, you know, politically more savvy. he's able to reach out to people that he was trying to keep out in the mountains were actually from yeah, my name. thank you. i'm and was on there was some bamlett so um, you know, he'll do anything to be able to in and he's making some inroads in that demographic to be able to convince people to say that that hated him before that they may consider a trump now is something that is surprising, a lot of people,

well i was in michigan on assignment. i had a young woman acted as said berg, trump might be bad for us, but until never doubted our the power of our road. but we've one time for one more question. jennifer, if the polls are right and this country is 5050 and it's an election like i've never seen before. there's so much hate and there's so much division and like it's literally tearing families apart because somehow who we'd like is president is become core to our like who we are as people like. hi, i was raised here. i was bored here and my job is here and i support x candidates. how do weeks? gosh, that it's not healthy. yeah, so in, in my world we call this an affective partisanship, which means people are using their purchase in id as a more tighten, essential part of how they think of themselves, how they do identify how they relate to others. and importantly, who they see is there they're in groups of people who are like them who are safe and who is their out group and who their feel unsafe with. and that negative

partisanship where people are just finding themselves by who they feel unsafe with is driving a lot of politics right now. and your question of how do we, we stop this, you know, there was a time when political scientist spot, you know, 5 years ago or so, we thought, you know, if there was a big natural disaster like a pandemic or something that would allow people to feel some common threats that it could help overcome something like aspect of partisanship. and yet we tried that and it doesn't work. so you know, alien invasion, you know, there are some other things that perhaps could get us there. but for now and that's i'm afraid of. it's a sort of a self reinforcing cycle that makes it precarious because what we know is that it a rhodes, democratic norms and institutions, unfortunately. well, okay, thank you so much for joining us. i'm so glad we have this discussion and i'm even more happy that nothing fell on us because of the mass of wind storm that came in right before. busy we went on air, so thank you very much. and al jazeera will have comprehensive special coverage, starting in about half an hour. finally, make sure to join us in 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 discussions, both here in washington, dc. and in don't. that's it from us here in washington, dc for now. well headed back to sammy and the rest of the team in don't. all right, thanks. hey, thanks for that. well, still ahead here and i'll just 0, protested israel off to the prime. minnesota 5, this defense minister, you will have to go on with it. so that means the was a garza 11th. and for these very the captives, the, the has been heavy rain in boston, you nose has been studying was possible in an ample close temporarily. but although the restore readiness by the spaniards shouldn't really be bothering the warnings and their longer range, nor i'm for the basically yeah that, which is just keep your eyes open. this is certainly the area where range is more

like anywhere else in europe. as you can see, most is influenced by the settled area of high pressure. it's cooling, that, in fact, was quite long. last in great periods, which is difficult early november, the when the wet weather is not even catching on and in the showers that are indeed arriving. the body outbreaks may increase a little bit during wednesday and even says day. but are there be anything like the same level that should vargas consider between issues more lights get big fan has told me that possibly the bigger island so little bit further. east temperature wise, big below where we might like to be. i would think, particularly in places like progress, billing, the early age degrees to the most, no glass canary surprisingly dry. the hot mountains company which is that strong north, east wind, often full of dust, very small sand, has the, has the tendency to press the number of shares throughout west africa and 32. that's what it's doing. so we have coastal jasmine nigeria and back through gone to there's nothing much beyond that temperature wise, it's still quite high,

particularly in senegal, in an already follow to our citizens of israel. we are, we are living 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? we are we have to be brave. otherwise, we're not going to have a country less. how will the choice of one nation affect us? the us 2024 elections on out to 0. a weekly look at the world's tough business stories. what does a rake cost in the united states main for the rest of us from global markets in economies? should that vivian to asked if people have sent an lifetime working?

that's part of the answer to understand how it affects the nights. counting the cost on o g, a 0 the the, you're watching out, just to recap those headlines now. millions of americans are heading to the poles in the us to choose the next present turnout is high in several physical swing states including north carolina. the set, a new record with off of both is and the state having already called spent ballots in the republican presidential candidate donald trump, its value to the recreation center in palm beach hall from is florida state. he's expected to watch the results coming through the night from his motor logo club,

the democratic presidential candidate campbell harris has made an unexpected stop. the democratic national convention in washington dc. g health phones is holding on decided focus to urge them to promote stuff as well. as prime minister ben, you mean nothing? yeah. who is dismissed? his defense minister, you will have gone guns. had been publicly critical of this. and yeah, who's management of the war on golf and cold for new goals for as well as wool. the prime minister's office says foreign affairs, and those days ro, cats will replace him of the females over the past 3 months, corrected the period between me and the minister of defense, significant gaps in the management of the military campaign. and these gaps were accompanied by statements and actions that contradicted the decisions of the government and the cabinet. the product s, as in tel aviv have gathered in front of these by the defense ministry to protest

against the move among the demonstrators. a relatives of captives held in garza for demanding beverly any fear, the removal of you'll have gone from office will make it ha this and negotiate to cease by it's good. i'm involved in the jordanian capital is covering this from my mind because these way the government is banned down to 0 from reporting in the occupied westbank and from inside israel. and we're already hearing from his ro cancelled to be insane as yeah, we've just heard from the, the form and now the form a easily, the defense minister you off go on to gave a tid advised address to the nation. talking about the points of this called a tension between him and a prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he summarized between the 3 points. one of them has to do with that description of the how do you deem that to now who is opposed to that

a lot is for it. and about the 2nd point is about the the need to cite to deal with him us for the release of the hostages. again, he has always been accusing, missing the whole of starting thoughts in order to continue the war. at the 3rd point is about the need for a comprehensive official investigation into the, the incidents via the talks of october. second, again, he's saying that the boss has always been delayed by the cabinet of prime minister netanyahu. but when you listen, listen to the to not worry himself explaining and also he's office sent a letter of explanation to glance of this document that he didn't mention these points. he talked about the leaks, he said, but his office has been the, at the receiving end of a slot of leaks,

highest security league stuck to accuse and that the has office of compromising the goals and the processing of the war. so i mean 2 different perspectives on this, this court and on the causes of, of the, of the sucking of the, of the defense minister. we have no internet fees in haifa and also in other cities. huge crowds of people take you through the streets and that's off to a position do that. yeah, you're lucky, oscar, and ask those people to go to the streets, take the streets to protest the decision by the been, you mean to tell you all. so it's going to be was probably days for we see when we see with it that nothing. yeah. who would be forced by the public to retrieve his decision? us the public did last year when he when he sucked to his defense minister. all right, thanks. so much the mohammed vall that let's bring in now then perry is

a full, the regional editor for the associated press, also served as the chairman of the fun price association. it is rarely joins us from tel aviv. so 1st of all, this changing of the got it, the ministry of defense, what kind of change do you think it might bring to will policy that i was just gonna change of war policy is such that much, but it could change what is to come because government represents the part of this rule that is more pragmatic and moderate. then the town is right in coalition partners. and that was a schism within a coalition. that wasn't really a 5050 schools. i'm going to was the sol representative really of assisting on anything resembling practices and i think is the partner could open the floodgates for some policies that are in the other direction. much is, your audience may think that is real, already is a in the right wing place. it could get worse without going now. look, there are,

there are moments in societies and countries where you can sort of hear a breaking point. we may be such a moment here because i have rarely and my time is a part corresponding seeing something quite as brazen as opting out using election day in the us. the fire of the ultimate is there, it is. government who isn't good relations with the west side a moment. when many people in israel think the renews are going to attack. and i've just been waiting for the poles to close in the us. and when israel really needs america to be on the side to figure out and then gain in lebanon and gaza and in general, and maybe to collaborate against the challenge, the is post by around a gallon was critical to that. and to fire him at this particular moment of all moments is that rages considering that the reason for it was the gallons opposed of

the preposterous impending law that would formalize the draft, evasion of israel's ultimate rest, the docks, which 70, which almost the entire rest of society imposes, i don't know how it's analysing, so you can survive this politically. and you see already the process of the streets . the americans are in a state of shock. it obviously projects division in mind and by the time israel's entities precisely happening before october 7th, one of them now is this literally on his judicial order forms which are actually in the reservation of israel's, of democracy which exists again, which really is rather profound. but the scenario is trying to do in a 3rd period revision gallon stood in the way of the and let them now laying down the long good isaac isaac, the opposition to the degree of the images of the opposition to this may surprise them, mainly because it seems as reckless to the points of on patriotic to do it. is that this particular moment? so ultimately listening to what you're saying,

what does this mean for this debility and future of this coalition? government? i don't know because it's true the with going gone. it seems less non cohesive, but the degree of anger this will bring the, the degree to which it could hardly could it. and whenever there is the next election, then it could bring up the next election. if they started saying, uh, people are bad in the pollution, i mean they, they, they may start to be afraid. and that could cause the cause of the coalition. afraid plus, look, if this has being done in order to enable with gallons gone some dirty deal, where the a formalize the draft, evasion of the heart deem that i mean, that will be among the more unpopular laws passed by governments in 2024, anywhere on earth and in the parliamentary system that endangers the government

when they do something that is so in opposition to public opinion, they consider that the background in israel is you know, and sam, you and i've spoken before. uh, i think this where was imposed on israel's but whatever, whatever one thinks about how the israel some sort of the self so far in the work. the fact is, mirrors facing a series channels or multiple fronts. and reservists were from the non already part of israel. the served the age is 20 like 22, let's say to 4045. they've been doing $2250.00 days a year of reserves duty because the army is missing. people on account of the continuing draft evasion of a growing group of israelis who are at this point about 50 percent, but they're having something to get. so it gets a piece and you see where that's going on. a graph who actually are arguing visa view, the other is that they are doing an equal sacrifice by praying to god. right? so, you know,

if any country that's had to do with the religious fanatics knows how this goes, why would have to do with that? thanks so much then perry, that the americans vote for the next president. israel is continuing its attacks on palestinians in garza, at least $61.00. people have been killed across the strip on tuesday, december 12. it has mall and the lights and strikes and what the us selection could need for the will. the 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 goes under direct is really showing for 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 their final one more large crowds left basically here in the north. after the latest is really for us to clear out. this is what 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 may possible because of us back

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 did they do? nothing. the destroyed oh, with 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 it's right, a full series of killed at least 3 palestinians and probably

a in the occupied westbank surveillance video shows them over the middle tree vehicle crushed into a call. so these are folds and they shot 2 people inside and prevented ambulances from reaching the scene. a palestinian john. this was also shot and injured. it is very full series of also being carrying out a tank salesman and the occupied westbank. and that's why i killed 2 people and 2 of us fall 2 of those died during a raven janine it's very mandatory, is increased the tax in the area since the start of the war on gas. and israel has also launched more strikes in southern areas of $11.11. a national news agency says there's really a tax of destroy $37.00 pounds a modem, $40000.00 houses in the south since september. the us has declined to condemn the strikes. now the risk is a security and physical affairs, alas, joins us now live from by route. so looking at either of the us presidential candidates, one of whom soon will be in the white house. do you think that how much of

a difference will they make in terms of policy towards the middle east and what's happening right now? a lot of things have no doubt why the candle is going to continue supporting his file. but i think that um, with the i in cloud support, which we saw with a bite administration my this a somewhat particularly trunk was to come to power in my humble opinion. and contrary to what is uh, you know, come on, come on, place of trump is likely to stand up by st. paul, to disassociate himself from the host policies, refer to remarks which were made by j, the events, the vice presidential moment a just a few days ago when he said that the american in his reading impressed will always be identical. and that we don't support a role in a wrong now say those statements in the midst of the election campaign. indeed, on the eve of the elections themselves,

i think that is something significant to which must not be taken lightly. i also think that the americans bigger the trunk or harris. awesome. what have friendship for or against and i will, which would bring into us. and what i mean here is a ball that well which iran will be party to us. so there are limits, i believe, for the american support for the use ready side have the heart of the candidate for the sake of american interests. i think 1st and foremost is going to have to exert some real pressure on nothing. you know why, but leave again that it's more likely that that pressure is going to come. should trump be elected the, have we seen dollars hum, reach out lately, take me to lebanese american of the voters and if so, why is that? because he gets the bigger picture of how lebanon could be the powder keg full

dragging in a much bigger conflict for dragons us into a much bigger conflict. and i think that's part of it. yes, there's no doubt that um, the ron has proven very clearly that it has a special relationship with hesper law and level on his school. i'm not going to allow the destruction of because of the law, because we saw the rainy and astride, which came up, which is targeted israel off the dss. the nation looks like it's costing us all of the former secretary general. we saw the rainy and senior think is coming to live on, including not just the for administer, but the part of and the speaker also showing a great support saying essentially saying that his boss is also going to remain a political player the level on. so i think from trump does get there. yes. at the same time, i think it's also about the elections. the fact that harris is not very private law of the heart of american voters,

including the lebanese american voters and from has capitalized on that he went to michigan, as you said, and met with members of the lebanese community there. he also has a son in law who happens to be 11 days. i think when you talk about trump, these family connections, if you're like, do play somewhat of a role in the policies, the procedures. if you recall his 1st of the important role which insurance push not played when it comes to these when it came to the normalization between his reverence and our country. so i think all of these fact that's interesting, that's an interesting angle. interesting, i go, okay, well thanks so much. we're gonna have to leave it that i live with security. i'm political unless well, how soon chevrolet is the founder and lead attorney of most of legal is also among the leading voices of the abandon biden campaign joins us now from tampa, florida, in the us. so if us american america, most them american,

out of american vote has a band and the binding harris approach, which is what you're advocating. why do they go to trump? the jewel stein away? i mean, i think a lot, i have been thinking of voting for jo stein and i would be lying to if i told you that the american muslim community was unified or even searching on their choices. i mean, that was start talking to. so american muscle leaders right now who are driving to the polls and still as they're driving, they're not absolutely certain who to vote for. but the issue you have with trump is he's spoken about bringing a very draconian measures and policies in place that target of coal, cal, assuming protesters that target american muslims. and those that are immigrants based on their political ideology and sympathy to the palestinian cause. so trump talk is very problematic, but common law and abiding ministrations, actions have been heretic. it's hard to imagine anything more evil. and worse than what we're seeing, where israel is killing innocent,

pulsing children daily using our tax dollars and with the support of the bite and administration. so i think the american muscle communities burnt out the house and with you'll abandoned by them. campaign is the message from you more, but you, you don't want people to vote for kind of how it is rather than giving them an endorsement or option of what they should vote for and how helpful is that in the political system. that's a great question. so yes, our position is that we need to teach the democrats and less than the democrats would not have gotten in power in the, in the last election without the most involved. the american most in vote is actually very powerful because we are spread out in key swing states of florida being one michigan being one many other key swing states the most on population is actually greater than the difference in the votes of that will determine who will win and who will lose. so the direction that most of the volts can swing the election in one direction or another. and i think we gave a bite in his victory and the last election and he's, we're ethically disappointed us. and his position on guns of the democrats have

perfectly disappointed them at the strong cause of their literally enabling and funding of genocide we're witnessing happening before our very eyes. and that is why i believe the strategy that we're taking is sending them a message that listen, our votes can not be taken for granted. garza is a red line, genocide is a red line and no matter who else will come in power as a result of us of banding you, we will of band and you and the hope that this will create long term change and that the democrats will not take our bullets for granted, and we'll have a better position on pallets in the future that reflects the position of the democrat based because the majority of democrats over 80 percent of democrats are against the genocide there against important visual what it's doing. but that's not reflected when it comes to democrats and power. neither one, the white house, or even congress, just 8 percent of democrats in congress are against what digital is doing. the democratic leadership, much like the republican leadership, has sold it, sold to the israel lobby, and we have to teach them that that can be sufficient to make you lose the election . all right, and strategically thinking going forward is the,

perhaps one of the features of this election is the rising prominence of the most in american? no, i have american nobody, if anything, considerate that category of progressive vote, the kaz about what's happening in the mid lease. right. i mean, i think it's very important that the american muscle community continues to show up in selection bolt and what's not to be forgotten is the many local elections that are so critical. the local elections will impact americans with some lives much that much more than the national election. but the national election is very near and dear to us because of the palestine issue. when it comes to local elections, you've got to remember and in the united states, sometimes there's candidates running that are trying to outlaw mosques from being built in local communities in violation of the constitution. you have school board to brian for school board that are promoting and 5 most of them agenda. so it's very important. the american, something is involved in this election, bolts in the local election and then still bolts in the national election. i and i

definitely believe the american was meaning to abandon biden and come on the horace, i mean comma loves right now in office use the vice president night and states and her actions alone biden's actions are enabling dis genocide. and i just think it would be forever shameful for us to allow them to be realistic, right? because essentially said that you can get away with genocide and still win an election. trump maybe bad, but trump right now is not physically actually completed in a genocide. we all know is crazy rhetoric, he's always that crazy rhetoric and i think will just be devastating for world peace for america's national security. and for the future of this world, i've had that somebody been office during the genocide to elected matter of ours. and we'll, we'll find out which way the american electorate is going on. this one hasn't usually found related to any of us and legal. thank you so much. thank you said i, money in spain. more rain is cost further flood damage and brought renew disruption to road and that travel rescue teams. and valencia are looking for people missing since flash floods swept the region last week at least 217 of died. thousands of

volunteers and the say that community is pulling together like never before. the sonya guy go has moles on the bike part of the area inside on sale region. this is one of the was the selected 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, the suburban town around you have a specialized ministry emergency unit as well. taking in between our recovery operations here as well. now the spanish prime minister, almost 15000 other police offices and treat to this area designate, exist, gravely affected era. he's done this so he can facilitate more

a thing that is a full mystical on this, which has been happening. and we will say, say, well ahead of this is officer risk you work is on the indonesian island of florida is have been searching through debris. officer of volcano erupted killing at least 9 people mounts low a toby lucky, lucky through lava and i shop to 7 columbus is from its crater, causing severe damage. nearby townsend villages, maybe 2 and a half 1000 people have moved to emergency shelters. so that brings us to the end of this news out, of course,

if you want to get more and all of these stories have been tending about someplace to which of course is the us selections kind of a out to sierra don't come up next. all special coverage begins as the votes accounted for the decides. next president, the us historic election. totally consequential presidents get shot at with the potential to impact their shapes as the well we know, let's get the, let's get the best amount because what is the bread of stores, but who gets to write that story? we're a nation in decline. that's all i can say, and how would it matter to those who need those across our borders unlawfully will be apprehended? we're going to do for these people, we're going to get them out of our country. what is the, what to expect? let us show each other in the world who we are. we have to be brave,

otherwise we're not gonna ever go to. how will the choice of one nation affect us all the us 2024 elections on out to 0. 2 stories of strong willed, challenging traditional female stereotype in the middle, dominate. it's a site to make a difference if i go a loophole in how some of these look like this is highly contaminate to believe in the class. the risk in it all out,

is there the limits to how far the dream contains sta in your own adventure, now counter and waives the make america. great. we are not going to need election like know why the already set every 4 years, but it's never been more true. what began as
