this is news live from berlin the final push to reach voters just days before the u.s. midterms voters are being hit by a barge of political ads from both parties we asked experts to tell us which issues are really on the minds of americans and take a look at presidents past and present hoping to influence the results. of u.s. sanctions are on their way back to the run as promised by u.s. president donald trump of to falling to kill that your brand new kid deal they said to his heart on monday targeting three major sectors of iran's economy. and it's

being called game over for european football as we know it leaked documents show the continent's top football clubs have been quietly planning to seize control of european football and form their own elite league we'll talk to one of the reporters who broke this story. welcome to the program democrats and republicans in the united states are making their final pitch to voters ahead of next week's midterm elections and leading the charge to presidents with rival visions for america's future former president barack obama and current commander in chief donald trump aspiring on the campaign trail for many this election is all about the different versions of america represented by these party leaders here's some of what they had to say. the end

it should not be a matter of partisan politics to say we don't target certain groups of people based on what they look like. or how did you ever who they love. because we don't want to go back to the obama days of low wages high unemployment rising crime open borders far left judges a presence of regulations horrible horrible horrible trade deals. with all of the rhetoric telling people how to vote one of the issues that americans really care about when i wasn't an correspondent has has this round up. government spending you must. build the wall with the midterm elections approaching voters are under

a barrage of political ads from both parties republicans got big. just in case i need to round up criminal illegals and take a moment will democrats then helmer i approve of town halls bad singing and this message are both trying to drill their respective messages into the political conscience of the american electorate it's getting less. thrill. and very confusing what are actually the topics the political agenda which make voters interested and going to the polls coming november sixth according to our experts panel of the political topics voters really care about it the midterms are well i think the biggest issue that's forefront right now is health care the top issues in this election are the economy health care immigration trade and guns the economy health care trade and then local issues the economy it's booming issue repeat for the republicans trying to get voters to cast the ballots for them the

message don't vote democrats you lose your job and pay more taxes or as the president puts it democrats produce republicans produce jobs however republicans have just now started something like an athlete's on the economy perhaps a template in the campaign the economy and health care always issues that are elections health care that's a bread and butter issue for the democrats the republican failed to replace the affordable care act better known as obamacare health care a winner for democrats so what happened to immigration and guns trump is clearly trying to nationalize the immigration debate nationalize the gun debate. immigration a biggie for the president. race is the least racist person but the latest campaign posted on president trump's twitter account has sparked accusations of being blatantly racist politics anybody. for democrats trump is the gift

that keeps on giving not only is the liberal democratic voter base fired up about going to the polls come november sixth. it specifically white educated suburban women who voted for trump in two thousand and sixteen who now seem to be turning to the democrats i think i share the conventional wisdom that the democrats will regain the house of representatives that the republicans will perhaps gain the seat or two in the senate no matter what the outcome on november sixth will be the twenty twenty presidential campaign has already started since as they say here in washington every election is always a referendum on the sitting president. meanwhile twitter has suspended thousands of rhobh accounts encouraging people not to vote in tuesday's election in a statement by twitch on friday the social media giant said it had removed a series of accounts that were quote attempting to share this information in an automated fashion many of the bogus users reportedly posed as democrats and were kicked off the platform in early october the company says the upcoming midterms are

the most tweeted about in the platform's history. iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei is slamming u.s. president donald trump after the u.s. announced it would reinstate all sanctions against iran khamenei said the u.s. would be the ultimate lose over its decision and says the world disagrees with trance decision to pull out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal the renewed restrictions are due to hit on monday after having been lifted for the past three years the extensive sanctions will curtail iran iranian oil sales exports and shipping industries as well as cut the country off from international lenders and foreign business partners. when i joined by the guardian's iran correspondent saeed kamali dechen thank you for joining us saeed so the u.s. says that these sanctions are aimed at the government and not the ukrainian people is it going to work this way i mean this sanctions let me be very clear the sanctions target everyone inside iran sanctions talk

a townsend's of patients in need of life there in medicines and as you found out yesterday or indeed there is no exemption i mean of course sanctions are not directly targeted at medicine but in practice at least as we saw seven years ago five years ago as well they are going to be a huge obstacle to the imports of sense and life mates and lifesaving medicines to iran because basically it bears no banking relations between iranian balance outside iran i mean when i today when i'm talking to you there's not a single tear one european bank that is doing business with anyone with anywhere inside iran so if you're a pharmacist inside iran if you're a pharmaceutical company in need of those huge medicines that you need important medicines and you need you don't have any ways of bringing it home right so it's a given that you've said these sanctions will affect everyone what will their reintroduction mean for everyday iranians. i mean these are the most stringent

sanctions that the president tom has imposed on iran the first set of sanctions came into effect in august but these sanctions about or embargo in a country which is heavily still dependent on oil so that means all aspects of iranian lives iranians from different walks of life are going to be affected if you're an iranian a student who are planning to go abroad for your our education for example if you are i mean if you want to go on holiday or anything it would be hugely effective i mean we've already seen the iranian currency basically collapsing in our dollar is true times pricier than last year and we've seen a wave of protests in the streets and these are primarily because of pressure from outside and ironically it's going to be europe that is going to bear i mean and the pressure on if people are going to leave iran the first place they would go would be let the europe and ironically of course europe is opposed to president trance policy on iran and yesterday as well the e.u. was very strong that i mean these sanctions are not in

a should not be imposed basically because as the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency has very five twelve times iran has admitted by the rules of basically dissensions are unilateral imposed by the u.s. and also they are they are trying to go illegal as well because we've had the international court of justice ruling not long ago and the act champ is hoping to use these sanctions to force a run into signing a new nuclear deal how likely is iran going to do that i mean really if you look back to two thousand and fifteen when that agreement was signed i was covering it from geneva and other places myself i mean it was a result of tool years of negotiations and and i doubt personally that there's going to be any deal but in what is on the table of course it doesn't address a lot of issues that americans are concerned with like of the less our program for example but it was not supposed to address the matter of oregon in the first place so it was. in. the. few days

iran has a rules i mean iran has. i mean. there is no sign whatsoever they're changing that. side. thank you for your insight. let's not look at some of the other stories making news around the world the lawyer for the pakistani christian accused of blasphemy has fled the country earlier. his life was under threat from islamists that's after the supreme court cleared his client on wednesday she spent eighteen years on death row . a third migrant caravan traveling from central america to the united states has crossed into mexico from guatemala more than a thousand people are estimated to be in this caravan and earlier and larger caravan has now reached central mexico though about half of the members have

dropped out u.s. president donald trump has vowed to keep these groups out of the u.s. . the first shock revelations are emerging from a database called football leaks they include a plan by europe's top clubs to radically change the face of football by forming a new league of their own we'll speak to one of the journalists behind the database in a moment but first a look at the role of germany's top buy in munich in the allegations behind the scenes byron munich has been plotting an attack on europe's soccer structure according to documents seen by germany's spiegel magazine buyers corporate attorney began planning to leave the champions league back in two thousand and sixteen byard together with a handful of other elite clubs are aiming to set up their own super league breaking away from european soccer's governing body you a thug. we must send a message to you if we don't need you i'm being frank about it and we need to do

this otherwise we can't get what we want negotiations that's the secret plans to break with the way to end the champions league have already up the pressure top clubs have been given more money and more power in the season. but the football leaks documents show other clubs have taken the lead in plans to split from. a binding declaration of intent is supposed to be signed this month the super league would be launched in the twenty twenty one twenty two season. byron munich is named as one of eleven founding members in the exclusive european super league there would be no relegation other clubs such as dortmund could join their ranks by invitation only. to get this it's obvious that these plans these ideas exist and i think some of europe's biggest clubs are working to make it happen. but where we draw the line is any suggestion that we could leave the ball in this

league that's unimaginable for dortmund. but not for byard the secret documents show the munich club has already examined whether it could lead the bundesliga but then aborted the idea responding to media questions byron said it had no knowledge of the reported declaration of intent and that the club doesn't comment on confidential talks. only always folk to kristoffer vent about an investigative journalist a german magazine der spiegel who is fond of the team that released this story and he told us what these revelations could mean for european football. this is a very important moment in european football because it changes the policy structure fundamentally so far you if i has always organized these kind of competitions and now the most powerful and the richest clubs say they don't need you a fight anymore and they were able to pressurize you in you if a into a reform where they would gain even more power and more money and we've seen this

in the past couple years in national competitions that have that they have become more lopsided because of that money so it's very interesting for every football fan to see how this polis trickle turns out. that was christopher it's about speaking to us well for now the bundesliga is still alive and kicking and this weekend's play began with a strong display from frankfurt away to stuttgart sebastian and scored to the opener for the visit has only in the first half went on to decide the match with two thumping had a perfect pass found from the striker and two bitch and moan in front of goal in the thirty second minute the croatian parring home his side second just before the final whistle frank with front line again combined well to put the result beyond doubt substitute. showing some acrobatic skills to make it three knew.
