[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw, use live from berlin, high stakes in the us as millions head to the poles to day president joe biden says at mid term when for the republicans would threaten the future of democracy in the

us. for the president, donald trump, hence he's preparing to come back. also coming up to the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of all lives and we are losing the head of the you. when was the climate summit in egypt that global heating will lead to the end of life, as we know it, if we don't stop boating, cold oil and gas? ah, i been for solon welcome. the united states is deeply divided this election day, the balance of power in the us congress is at stake in these made terms as voters decide which party will control both chambers for the next 2 years. the entire house of representatives is up for grabs, along with about a 3rd of the senate. they'll also be governance ship collections,

and $36.00 of the countries 50 states. more than half of the republican candidates have echoed unfounded claims by donald trump. that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. and as the w michelle, the cooker reports similar, false claims about today's vote of the challenge to american democracy. this is the home of democracy in the us, the capital building, where men and women represent what the constitution referred to as we the people democracy in the united states is under attack. both democrats and republicans see it and both say that they are the ones defending the danger to democracy. come from the radical out, not from the right. not i will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country. the freedom to vote and happier brought crowded. be taken from you, paul. so

a 3rd of americans no longer feel confident that their vote is being counted properly. that in itself a success for donald trump is still claims that he and not to biden won the 2020 elections in these mid term elections. trump only through his political weight behind candidates who echo his big steel narrative. jerry will start with you. you've called joe biden, and illegitimate present was, i mean he lost the election initial be in the white house. we had a corrupt election lake has already made it clear that she will only accept an election result that sees hub, becoming governor of the swing state of arizona. and he's not alone. 27 states will have republican election deny is on the ballot. among them, 6 swing states that so massive pressure from the trunk camp of the 2020 results. pennsylvania is one of them. here poll workers faced protests and threats from

demonstrators calling to stop the count. now they fear the next attack on usda chrissy. it really cuts right into the heart of the foundation of this country . the biggest stress test yet will be the upcoming presidential elections in 2024 in a world increasingly tipping towards we'll talk chrissy whether american democracy remains strong, will have an impact on everybody's chances around the world to live in a land of the free. michelle are currently there and liz shaka joins us. she's a u. s. policy analyst and johns is from lancaster, pennsylvania instead of election day. this is more like election season. people have been sending in their votes for weeks. now, what does this tell us? first off the bat, let's just say that this is

a great sign for democracy. america has struggled with access to voting. and so having early voting, having mailing voting, having ballot boxes is assigning that america is addressing some of these issues that they did. she space in the past for the democrats, this is seen as a when they're calling this the democratic firewall. democrats tend to not always, but tend to have a stronger ground game. they're going to have a field campaign, and they're going to rally that early voting or support we saw with biden. so they're hoping in some of these more contested areas where there might be a high turnout in rural places tomorrow. this early voting firewall will speak highly favorably for the democrats, but after 2 years of biden's, democrats and their policies, the economies, the biggest issue, full republican voters. what will the next 2 years bring economically do thick? there's a lot of signs that voters on both sides are worried about republican voters. talk a lot about go to the gas pump. look at your for

a when k democratic voters are talking about, you're seeing unlikely places like amazon and starbucks unionized. there's a joke here in america, there was just the world series baseball game in the philadelphia team only wins when there's an economic recession and they lost. so we're looking at the ball. there might be a hopeful sign, but there's a lot of signs that the next year or 2 is going to be tough for america. and i think a lot of voters that is just way really heavy on their minds going into tomorrow. how's that going to shape things abroad? do you think this is a real issue specifically when you're looking at things like you crane there have been voices on both sides. kind of say not, not a penny more for ukraine is a very right conservative congresswoman phrased it. but even on the left, you're seeing folks call for a measured approach to a to ukraine. you're going to see that in other ways as the economy. his heart at

home, americans tend to look in word and be less generous, but also outward looking in how they're going to approach a presidency or, or a congress that savor is foreign affairs. well, former president donald trump, gave a note so subtle hints about his involvement in running again in 2 years time. let's take a listen to that. it's a country saving a lecture, specifically including the election of all the people that i'm going today. i'm going to be making a very big announcement on tuesday, november 15th at bar lago in palm beach. li romantic music aside, how the midterm shaping the 2020 full presidential race? that's another thing that's like, you know, you have the factors on the front when we're talking about the economy and democrat

versus a there's. * all these factors in the background, you hear from both sides, democrats keep saying what is by going to do. and trump has made it very clear. he is already on the campaign. there was a really interesting comment just here in pennsylvania this week where he's campaigning for a pennsylvania candidate, but took a not so subtle dig at the governor of florida signaling to a lot of people. they felt like, wow, that's a we're, we're case to go after a republican a week before the mid terms, but it really signal to a lot of people. he's already looking for 2024. he is going to announce he's going to be on that pallet and he is ready to come out signing. you heard from us policy analyst leash. ok. thank you very much for your insights of being on the w's. thank you. the head of the un, antonio quoterush, says humanity must cooperate in the fight against climate change will face

collective suicide. it was addressing called 27 in egypt when nearly a 100 heads of state and government meeting this week. the summer comes at the end of a catastrophic year for many developing countries, with temperatures rising as the wo continues to burn damaging fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. if all the leaders in this room had joined forces in the fight against global warming, saying to say there would be far fewer climate catastrophes to address at this year's summit. but the situation is serious. you and secretary general antonia guiterres made that clear o planet these fast approaching peeping points that will make climate scales you reversible. we are on the highway to climb motel with our foot steam on the accelerator. guiterres is referring to the you and world mature. a logical organizations report that the last 8 years have been the warmest on record. flash

flooding in pakistan in september devastated an area the size of britain. the floods killed more than 1500 people and left millions homeless. at the other end of the spectrum, extreme drought dried up, entire rivers in italy, and in somalia, the worst dry spell and 40 years left 1000000 suffering. countries that contribute the least to the climate crisis are the ones suffering the most from its consequences. so the summit is appealing for solidarity. i don't believe it is justice to the young generation when our rivers in legs upward knitted. i don't see justice when big bully tis an untouchable. is he justice for the war need is to choose prophets over lives. if nothing changes, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere could rise by 2.4 to 2.8 degrees celsius . compared to pre industrial times,

scientists say the paris climate accords aim of limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees is currently unattainable. they predict this will result in more and more frequent, extreme weather events to help climate vulnerable countries deal with the damages german chancellor. all of shoulds said his country will provide financial assistance, will also support those countries hit hardest by climate change in a targeted way. in dealing with loss and damage for these and filled with the cream of his for this shield and climate risk funding, germany makes available 170000000 euros. as world leaders see compromises over the next 2 weeks in the gyptian city of sharma, share many are skeptical that the promises made in this room will actually be delivered. well, i asked al, corresponded, need a has a what we can expect from today's agenda. the germany is still being earnest about its ambition to be

a global leader when it comes to the fight against climate change. now, many countries are of course, questioning whether germany is being serious regarding and climate protection. because of course, of all the measures that joanie's undertaking to get rid of some of the russian energy sources and, and find alternative energy supplies worldwide. so germany is it extending a co power use, for example, is also investing in ellen g terminal. so it is investing in fossil fuels and the international community really wants to see that this is just a transition period as victim chance all our shows claims or whether germany is indeed giving up on his ambitions. because of course, also at home, germany is not probably doing its homework. it has been also criticized by its own council of experts, that germany's m ambit. i mean, he's watching very closely, but of course,

the message that will actually is bringing some money with some of these will be well reported in a day like many countries around the world, south africa is struggling with the impact of a change in climate itself. at a series of severe drought, the past few years, farmers are trying to adapt to the new weather patterns, did all use out of the increased visitor. the farm in the western cape said and move on started the morning in his nursery with a tiresome but important job. spreading throb between the apple trees he is growing a cost effective soil, covered through save water and keep the soil moist but mostly up your bill. up a lot or 2 st. the seawater. we must look for before a better mission stools to safe water and a decently shed area concern yet. so i don't think people realize toe important water east. the farmer is conserving water where ever he can. he has also invested in

a drip water irrigation system. now instead of spraying huge amounts of water, he can irrigate more efficiently based on the plants needs. but mutants business still needs a lot of water. he plans thousands of trees every year, mainly apples and peers. then he sells them to commercial farmers, despite all his efforts and the farms damn, that collects water from a mountain stream currently being full. he is concerns. so far this year there has been much less rain than last is there remembers the massive drought between 20152018 that destroyed crops and killed animals. most dams in the region rent dry, longer, unequal. there has been researching droughts in southern africa for 10 years, whether patterns have become less predictable, she says, and it has been raining less do it was quite said in most places, way farmers will be like, well, i just gave up. i can do anything. and some family to move home like that. this is

just not going to happen. i have to leave. but of course, there are some beautiful studies out be where farmers, they've managed, they called they adopt new technologies. the i don't mueller ages and they work with commercial farmers who i'm entering them and is successful. big commercial farmers often have access to finance and technology to implement water saving measures. smaller farmers like at a mutant don'ts, he still managed to build a successful nursery business using a savings and strict water conservation measures. despite the challenges that forced many farmers to close shop, move on now employees the team of 9 and hopes as children who already walk on the farm will continue the business or they must do. you must follow my steps. so yes, it smells do that. yeah, yes so, so, so as to slot of opportunities in every culture business, i think is a culture of nowadays is one of the sectors so they are really own

to produce more job opportunities. move on now wants to start his own epl and p a production and continued to find new ways to make use of scars, water resources. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headline of the world health organizations acceptable limits. mexican authorities have seized well over a ton of what they believe is cocaine found floating in the pacific ocean. it's the latest discovery in the military's anti drug operations and comes days after mexico's navy seized a ton of cocaine from 2 boats. surveillance footage shows specs attempting to discard the drugs ceremony has been held in times any of the victims of sunday's plane crash, which 900 people died. authorities are investigating the exact cause of the crash. the transport minister told mourners that bad weather was a likely factor in the french catholic church, says 11 bishops and former bishops have been accused of sexual violence or failing

to report abuse cases. among them is john p as the car, one of the countries highest ranking cardinals. on monday he confessed to abusing a young girl 35 years ago. he will face prosecution or church tribunals. if you want to pursue you claims president, florida. lensky says it's vital to keep pushing russia to participate in what he calls genuine peace talks. earlier and adviser, theresa lensky said, ukraine was ready for talks with a russian leader, but not flattered me putin. us media have also reported that the bite and administration has been encouraging ukraine to signal openness to talks. the kremlin has said it's open to negotiations. this comes as ukraine welcomes the arrival of new air defense system supplied by norway, spain, and the ways the w correspondent connelly is in cave. he told us how important these western defense systems will be. well, they certainly very welcome. they've been promised for long time. another finally here,

although we're not being told quite how many have reached key if so far of the total number promised. and even the total sum promised is only a fraction of what's needed to protect this country. or this after all award is being fought on the scale bigger than anything that any western country is fought in decades front lines of over a 1000 kilometers and cities. hundreds of almost away from those front lines routinely being hit. so those nasa rockets that are coming from the u. s. they used to protect the white house. they're pretty modern. they were developed nearly to thousands. they're kind of close to medium range and then the rockets coming from spain, they're bit older. it's kind of more seventy's eighty's and they are short range. but this is all very welcome. there is obviously a worry that this is too much too different kit. there's no kit that's come from germany. other kids coming from france, couple weeks of the ukraine. you know, me really thanked him, basically make do with all the kind of leftovers that western military's have and are willing to part with. but it's definitely psychologically very important to think that there's something to deal with these attacks. they've left people

feeling so vulnerable that was dw cars on an economy reporting from the ukrainian capital. as the war in new crank continues, many people are looking for missing loved ones, many a few dead, but in some cases, no bodies have been found leading relatives to hope they may have survived. often the only way of finding out the painful truth is a dna test. dw mathias ballinger spoke to people in easy on a town recently retaken from russian forces. how they wait to see the investigators bringing dna and testimony you'd mealer was china and her relative just have questions about her son. he was serving in the ukraine territorial defense force. when the russians came to ease you, she lost content, but didn't dare to ask too much. every one knew the russians were looking for families of ukrainian soldiers. yet, but a whole as a younger boy,

i hid. i was afraid that someone might tip them off. if we had a lot of my son's military stuff at home, but i was very scared of the other way. ali now the russians are gone, the world can see what the fighting did to resume at the beginning of the war. and details are emerging from the 6 month of occupation. these include a mass grave. on the outskirts of town, their investigators found the bodies of civilians as well as ukrainian soldiers, some with their hands tied behind their backs. more than $400.00 bodies were found here. it's the biggest mass grave detected after the ukrainian army took back these territories. investigators found $700.00 such sites. the more buy a dna sampling unit. for many, the cheeks swapped off as the only hope for clarity. many of the bodies in the mass

graves were in such bad condition that immediate identification wasn't possible. we had the to day genuine idea, yvonne of a will give a sample. she fled with a child just before the russians arrived, leaving her father in hospital. later she heard the hospital was shelling isn't actually correct. i found a doctor from is you had fled to town. he told me that my father died in the attack and it had not been possible to save him. he died there and was left behind below. now she's looking for his body, you'd meal if he is, she's doing the same. her son said to have died in an arid. so just from his unit all can offer her little hope mozilla prayer tacoma. unfortunately, if you consider where he was when the bomb head, there's no chance he could aspire to be a bumble, was at the emotions in them. but they never found his body. and so don't know for

certain what happened. the soldiers are here to testify, what you will notice, but you'd mila has already given investigators a d n a sample, but hasn't heard anything from her relative, tries to find out more, but there is no news today. we're still on the mike. as long as there's nobody, i still have help here, chris. oh no, not much. oh, the voice, the soldiers promised the women that they stay in touch issue. that's all anyone can do. the online sexual exploitation of children is a global issue, but is especially problematic in the philippines. a recent unicef report estimates that at least 2000000 children in the philippines have been target substantial abuse in the past year. this is

a country in which many people are actively on line more so than other places. and as an english speaking country, perpetrators from abroad find accessing and manipulating children much easier. d, w, scaled matters font. this report the investigators make their move early in the morning. 3 civil tenures operations are conducted across the philippines. the target children forced into online prostitution for detective petrol at the national bureau of investigations. it's a good day. but he says it's just the tip of the iceberg. actually it's very alive, especially for definitely not children because they are being groomed online. and it's very hard to identify and to prevent them from, from being exploited because they are,

they directly being communicated by the facility or a unit. that report finds that the pandemic has made children in the philippines much more vulnerable to sexual abuse. according to the research, one in 5 children, aged between 12 and 17, was subjected to great instances of online sexual abuse. with classrooms largely empty for much of the pandemic. many children found themselves exploring the internet without guidance. thousands were lowered into sending photos, for instance, to online boyfriend, and then got mailed to send more to bennett at madrid. the other thing also, which is very bad, i don't know which is worse, is that a lot of incense offenders, especially for younger children. now also realize that they can make money out of the incest, and that the videotape and or live stream the sexual abuse and and

so according to madrid, many of these relatives tell themselves that if the abuse happened online, no one gets hurt. but for a child, she says it's just as damaging as in real life, every time somebody views, those child sexual abuse images, it's like they're being abused again. so it's a never ending abuse. if you think about this, that's what's so bad about, because like you always are on the lookout that someone will recognize you. according to the unicef reports the philippines of the global epi center of the live streams, sexual abuse trait. a key concern is now that with travel regulations, almost back to normal. many peter files from abroad will come to meet the victims in person. detective pedro says that they are in close contact with foreign law

enforcement partners. but keeping up with new apps and the dark web is a challenge really, you have to increase our capacity in identifying these types of offences, especially the technical side of this investigation. experts agree that a nation wide information campaign is needed to warn children and to encourage them to come forward if affected to day less than one percent of such cases in the philippines are reported to authorities. reminder of our top stories, u. s. president joe biden says a win for the democratic sold for the republicans robber in today's mid term elections would threaten the future of the countries democracy. also, on the campaign trail for the president, donald trump hinted he's preparing a come back. and the head of the you weight,
