imran khan' says he knew about a plot to kill him, after pakistan's former prime minister was shot during a protest march. and 100 years on from its discovery — tutankhamun's 3,000 —year—old tomb continues to fascinate. welcome to world news america on pbs and around the globe. it's the last weekend before the us midterm elections and a campaign blitz is under way. control of the senate and the house of representatives hangs in the balance. presidentjoe biden has warned that donald trump's refusal to recognise his 2020 election defeat is threatening america's democracy. but a growing number of pro—trump pastors on the the christian right are urging voters to take back the country for god —

a move that critics say is challenging america's commitment to the separation of church and state. barbara plett usher reports. in this divided nation, the christian right has found a new voice. this country belongs to god almighty. this is not a church service, hundreds of people are being baptised after a rally in pennsylvania, some overwhelmed by their experience of god. thousands have turned out because they believe their christian values are under attack, and that god belongs in government. you cannot separate god from politics, you cannot take him out of our government! these events tap into people's anger about covid the man himself dialled in while his son was on stage. we love you all and we are going to bring this country back because our country has never been

in such bad shape. they are reframing the american conservative politics as spiritual warfare against a radical left. these people have travelled here from north carolina. they took awayjesus and everything so now we are being run by devils. because it is a spiritual war. some call the rise of the religious right christian nationalism, they believe america was founded as a christian nation and should remain one. it has taken on a new intensity in this fractured political world. breaking cover during the storming of capitol hill, where christian symbols and prayers were on display. this was one of many pastors at the capitol that day, and he has millions of followers online and produce 200 every week. and he has millions of followers online and preaches to hundreds every week. you ain't seen the insurrectionary.

has managed to weave his views into an apocalyptic worldview laced with conspiracy theories. you god hating communist, you will find it one insurrectionist is because we don't playing your garbage. they're calling fellow americans evil, fitting it they're calling fellow americans evil, putting it in a context of an impolitic battle between good and evil. there is an apocalyptic battle between good and evil. that is the kind of language that can be used to incite violence. that is not my responsibility. you don't see that as an responsibility? i'm not inciting violence, i'm preaching the bible. but many pastors are fighting back against this interpretation of the bible. this man believes the scripture teaches concern for social justice. there is concern they're damaging repetitions of the church. i have had friends who are pastors and churches, and president trump, they speak out against the religious right, against president trump, they are asked to leave the church. meat

are asked to leave the church. next week's election _ are asked to leave the church. next week's election will _ are asked to leave the church. next week's election will be _ are asked to leave the church. next week's election will be the first local response to the polls. it could become a powerful force become a powerfulforce pushing become a powerful force pushing the party further to the right. barbara is with me in the studio. barbara, i suppose the big question is how much impact could these groups have on the midterm elections?— groups have on the midterm elections? ~ , ., ., elections? well, they are in a minority numerically, - elections? well, they are in a minority numerically, so - elections? well, they are in a i minority numerically, so mostly white and mostly evangelical christians, not all, but the stats we have are about 14% white evangelicals in the country, but one in five voters are white evangelicals, so they punch above their weight. evangelicals, so they punch above theirweight. i evangelicals, so they punch above their weight. i think they are highly motivated, at least that's what i found when i was travelling. it's because they feel they are losing the culture were, they feel that the moral values in the country have shifted in the past number of years on issues of gender identity, race sexuality and so on. so those

are things that are very important to christians in particular because they feel that this is related to life and death and salvation and so on. ifelt a life and death and salvation and so on. i felt a strong sense of people who felt that they were under siege and pushback. haw who felt that they were under siege and pushback— who felt that they were under siege and ushback. ., . , , ., and pushback. how much support are the caettin and pushback. how much support are they getting from _ and pushback. how much support are they getting from outside _ and pushback. how much support are they getting from outside groups's i they getting from outside groups's well, there is a kind of political and religious faction that is emerging, and a lot of that comes from the right and from the republican party, and a lot of republicans identify as christians. there is a lot of political weight and political money involved in any of public action committees putting money behind christian causes, which are essentially conservative value causes. you also have separately, if you're talking about support, of movement that has grown up of apocalyptic supporters, prophets, apostles, those kinds of people, a lot of them that we cite that event in the report who surround the candidates and to advocate for

being held on a river boat. the community are demanding more government aid following an oil spill in the area. their leader says he will be keeping the tourists overnight before considering their release. now to another story in our series "the other side" — this time we look at student debt — joe biden has promised to cancel up to $20,000 of student loans for low and middle—income borrowers. the bbc talked to two voters who owe thousands in student debt, but adam ellwanger and angela bowman disagree on a solution. have a listen. as someone who still has some student loan debt left to pay, i recognise that dealing with the student loan crisis in this country is an urgent matter. 0ur education should be accessible. that said, joe biden's decision to cancel student loan debt is notjust bad policy, everyone will pay for the cancellation of student loan debt.

we need to look at repayment programmes being better and to provide free education for everyone in america. here is a picture of my six—year—old daughter watching me at 20 years old get to my associates degree. i took out $38,000 of student loans to get my bachelors degree. took about $90,000 in student loans. i took out what i needed to live. i began college at 18 years old, during that time, i worked at every dayjobs, ice cream parlors, pizza places. i had tuition, books, student fees, i had a child, i wasn't given child support. i did not have enough income from my work alone to pay my rent

and other things so i had to borrow some additional money for that. it was literally the only way i would've been able to go to school and be able to pay rent and just get through a degree programme. i really didn't think too much before i took out the loans, although, i had the understanding that they would eventually have to be repaid. for people who are saying, hey, you took out the sun to be need to pay it back, this is your responsibility. i did pay it back, a couple times, including interest, i have paid back easily twice the amount that i took out. in my campaign for president, i made a commitment that we would provide| student debt relief. i was happy because what i have left on my loans is precisely going to be what i can have forgiven. so it wasjust kind of a relief. in a lot of ways, for people who sacrificed a lot to pay out of pocket, this is an insult. what this is going to do that these lower income middle income families is knocked a percentage

of their loan, it's going to make it easier for them to pay back and possible so it doesn't become lifelong dents. perhaps the biggest problem with biden �*s decision is that it does absolutely nothing to reform the drivers of tuition costs. high tuition is the reason for the student loan crisis in america. what our opponents don't understand is that we want to reform as much as you do, but this is not reform. what this is a bailout. why is it so hard for people to get an education? why is that such a hard choice? the debate on student loan forgiveness there, the latest in our online series, the other side. pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan, has accused his successor, shehbaz sharif, and other seniorfigures of being involved in a plot to assassinate him. speaking from a hospital in lahore, mr khan said he'd known in advance

that an attempt would be made on his life. he gave no evidence for his allegations. 0ur correspondent samira hussain sent this report from outside the hospital i'm just outside the hospital where the former prime minister was taken, and you can see just over on one side, that there are flowers, people leaving get well cards. at the same time, you can see there is actually quite a bit of security which is understandable, remember the context in which this has happened. mr khan was participating in a demonstration when he came under attack. now, his political party is saying that this was an assassination attempt. remember, mr khan has been holding these demonstrations since he was pushed out of office in april of this year. trying to force the government to call for new and fresh elections. the government has repeatedly said that it will not bow to these pressures. many are expecting quite a lot of people to take to the streets,

notjust here where i am, but in cities across the country to protest and what has happened and to keep campaigning. 100 years ago today, archaeologists made one of the world's greatest discoveries — tutankhamun's 3,000—year—old tomb. robert hall explores why that breakthrough a century ago caused such a sensation. 33 centuries had passed . since human feet last trod the floor on which we stood. legend says it was spotted by a young egyptian — the buried staircase leading to what archaeologists still call the greatest find ever made. howard carter had spent over a decade looking for it. in a tiny tomb, we have everything from the royal court crammed in. we've got gold, jewellery, flowers, lunch boxes,

underwear, clothes, sandals. we get a sense of the variety of material that survived from ancient egypt. news of the find was rushed here, to highclere castle — the story of tutankhamun is always linked with one name — that of howard carter, the man who broke through that wall 100 years ago. but carter wouldn't have been there at all without the passion and, perhaps more importantly, the finance of another egyptologist — this man, the 5th earl of carnarvon. the story sparked what became known as tutmania. from a few curious visitors, to the millions who viewed the wonders of the tomb at travelling exhibitions. i am sorry, there will be no more admission for the exhibition tonight. and hanging in the air, the legend of a pharaoh's curse on those who dared to enter the tomb. the newspapers named five men as its victims — among them, lord carnarvon himself.

historians, though, have a very different explanation. like tutankhamun's interlocking coffins, there are many layers to this story. howard carter's successors are still finding new pieces of the jigsaw, still solving the mysteries which remain hidden in the valley of the kings. the novel ulysses by jamesjoyce, has a reputation for being a challenging read. a modernist blend of poetry and prose, the book chronicles one day in the life of its protagonist leopold bloom, in dublin, in 190a. to celebrate ulysses being published 100 years ago, an arts organisation in washington dc has commissioned a dance troupe to develop their own interpretation — the liz roche company in dublin. the bbc sat down with liz roche to find out how the book translates to the stage. i wanted to make something new. i wanted to look at what it meant

now, today, so definitely not to make an adaptation of ulysses. i am liz roche, and i am a choreographer working in dublin, ireland. we have been commissioned by solas nua in washington to create a new work called yes and yes, that marks the 100 year anniversary of jamesjoyce's ulysses. if i said to colleagues or friends, i am a little bit worried, because i was just firing through ideas and anything i didn't like, because somebody told me with the book, if you don't like something or if you get lost, skip ahead. so i was like, i am going to do that then when i'm making the piece. so anything i didn't like that much ijust skipped ahead throughout. it was almost as if anything was going to stay in the piece, it had to fight to be there. i am always quite amazed by the energy in ulysses and how it feels very modern.

it feels completely of the now. i suppose it is just this level of experimentation is something that we deal with in contemporary dance all the time. contemporary dance is about making something new. there is a kind of feeling of abandonment in ulysses and somehow that is infectious, i think. it certainly felt when i was reading it that, i can say what i like. there are so many possibilities, so many things that you can see in the writing and lots of people talk about it is so different for everybody and nobody owns one interpretation of it. so actually it is quite a nice place to be in. i think a lot of the time i deal in this a little bit unclear space. a grey space. things aren't so black and white. that is how i live my life and that is kind of how i feel life

really is and i try and reflect that in the work. there aren't really clear answers and, you know, it is complicated. it is like art is more of a question. it is not really interesting if it is always an answer. a graceful way to end the programme. thank you for watching world news america. have a great weekend. hello, there. it was a quiet end to the week, largely dry and sunny after a chilly start. the weekend could start on a chilly note for eastern parts of the uk ahead of this weather front here that's pushing cloud and rain eastwards in from the atlantic, and that rain is going to continue to move eastwards during saturday, soon clearing away

from northern ireland — some sunshine here. a chilly start for eastern parts of scotland and eastern england, and then the cloud coming in, so it takes a while to warm up here. we should get some sunshine following the rain in scotland, but much of england and wales will stay on the cloudy side. maybe not too much rain in the afternoon. a lot of places still dry, and those temperatures a shade higher, actually, than friday, 12—14 degrees but if you're out and about for a bonfire celebration, it's bonfire night saturday night, we could have a bit more rain to come across southern england, perhaps the midlands, then we're into clearer skies before we get some showers into the far north—west of the uk. those are coming around this area of low pressure which is slowly moving in from the atlantic, getting a bit closer, strengthening the wind. we've still got some rain, though, to come, across south—eastern areas overnight that could be quite heavy, and still lingering into sunday morning, and following on from the back of that, the band of wet weather will push its way eastwards across england and wales. drier, i think, for scotland and northern ireland. more in the way of sunshine, fewer showers around here, but those temperatures,

second half of the weekend, not really changing very much at all heading into the start of the new week, and that area of low pressure just runs to the north—west of scotland. another weather system comes in from the atlantic. that's going to bring cloud, it's going to bring some rain, as well, mainly running northwards up the western side of the uk. the winds are coming from a long way south. it's going to be a strong, mainly south to south—westerly wind, and that's going to bring us some higher temperatures on monday. a very mild start to the new week. temperatures around 14—16 degrees or so. that's a few degrees more than we'd get. that milder air is ahead of that cold front, there, which, of course, will run its way eastwards, bring some rain, and introduce some colder air. that band of rain heading out into the north sea will be followed by some sunshine and some blustery showers on tuesday and out towards the west, this is where the showers will be more frequent. they may well be heavy and thundery, as well. temperatures a little bit lower. probably noticeable, i think, for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures here around 11 or 12 degrees. we are left with this run of west to south—westerly

winds in that cooler, showery airstream on wednesday, ahead of another weather system coming in from the atlantic. so, very changeable weather continues into next week. sunshine around, fewer showers, lighter showers. again, mainly in the west. getting swamped by all this cloud coming in from the atlantic ahead of some rain and those temperatures again around 11—13, a little bit higher, perhaps, in the south—east. still quite mild air, though, even on wednesday, and into thursday things may get milder still, because the wind direction comes more in from the south, and if we look further ahead we are left with higher pressure towards the south—east of the uk, lower pressure and areas of low pressure running to the north—west, strengthening the winds here and bringing some rain from time to time but we are still, even into the following weekend, in this run of milder air, south to south—westerly winds, the colder air not far away, but at the moment we are staying in that milder air — but still very unsettled. so, these are the temperatures for the outlook, and you can see we are making 16 or 17 degrees, maybe even 18.

drier towards the south—east of the uk. always going to be wetter, and probably windier towards the north—west. goodbye.
