an inspiring story about survival sanks to music. fetch the cello playoff. well, i was the only one. i'm super lucky. music under the swastika starts november 19th on d. w. ah ah, this is the w use lie from berlin. high stakes in the us says millions head to the pulse today. president joe biden is a win for the republicans in today's mid terms, would threaten democracy in the u. s. former president donald trump, his he's preparing a come back. also coming up the book. he sticky,

we are in the fight of all lives as we are losing the head of the you when one's the climate summit in egypt that global heating will lead to the end of life, as we know it. if we don't stop burning coal, oil and gas, ah, i bench was all unwelcome people in the united states, a boating in mid term elections today. that assigning which party will control congress for president joe biden's next 2 years in office. the entire house of representatives is up for grabs, along with about a 3rd of the senate. they'll also be governorship elections at $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 has dw michelle cuz no

reports similar false claims about today's vote who pose a 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 comes from the radical out, not from the right. not i will not stand by watch the most fun among freedom in this country, the freedom to vote. i'd have your vote counted, 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,

who 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 electron result that sees hub, becoming governor of the swing state of arizona. and she'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 the 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 while pose open today, many people have already concept valid by post. i ask the u. s. policy analyst, let's show what this so the voting tells us 1st 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 a sign that america is addressing some of these issues that she spaced 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 fine. 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, 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 was an economic recession and they lost. so we're looking at the as well. there might be a hopeful sign, but there's a lot of science 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 today. 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 congressman 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 is 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, for the president,

donald trump gave a note so subtle hands about his involvement and running again in 2 years time. let's take a listen to that. it's a country saving election, specifically including the election of all the people that i'm going to do. i'm going to be making a very big announcement on tuesday, november 15th at bar lago in palm beach. i believe romantic music aside. how on 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 economy and democrat versus or 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 a big at the governor of florida, kind of signalling 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 insides of being on t w's. thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines. you a secretary of state anthony, blinking as praised, amina, and as a, by john for taking steps towards lasting pace. washington has been mediating between the 2 neighbors. we've clashed repeatedly over control of that go, no kind of bank region told came just our zone to refresh you down a little border. 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 and he drank operations and come stays after mexico's navy sees another ton of cocaine from 2 boats. surveillance footage shows suspects attempting to discuss the drugs the head of the united nations, antonio quoterush says humanity must cooperate in the fight against climate change or face collective suicide. he was addressing cop 27 in egypt where 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, signed 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 is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate scales you reversible . we are on the highway to climb hotel with our foot still 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 bullet is an untouchable. is he justice for the world leaders 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. we will also support those countries hit hardest by climate change in a targeted way in dealing with loss and damage for business wilson with the gleam

of is it for this shield and climate risk funding. germany makes available 170000000 euros. as world leaders see compromises over the next 2 weeks in the adoption city of sharma, share. many are skeptical that the promises made in this room will actually be delivered. that financial aid from germany is for poor countries hit by climate related disasters. earlier i spoke to dw, corresponded nina houser and asked her what more all the countries expect from germany in response to the climate emergency. the germany is still being earnest about his ambition to be a global leader when it comes to the fight against climate change. now many countries are of course questioning whether joni is being serious regarding a climate protection because of cause of all the measures that joanie's undertaking to get rid of some of the russian energy sources and to find alternative energy supplies worldwide. so germany, is it extending over?

oh, how i use for example, is also investing in ela, 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 we can tell solar shows, claims, or whether germany is indeed giving up on his ambitions because of course, also at home germany is not properly has been criticized by its own council of ex that japanese and ambitions not enough. and this is something that the international community wanting very closely, but of course, the message that will actually is bringing some money with them here to summer. take to this climate. somebody is also being welcomed. ukraine's president brought him to lensky says it's vital to keep pushing russia to participate in what he calls genuine peace talks earlier and advisor to soleski said ukraine was ready for talks with the russian leader, but not letting me put you as media have also reported that the button administration has been encouraging ukraine to signal openness to talks. afternoon

. 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 u. s. w corresponding economy is in k feet, told us how important these western defense systems will be. well, i certainly very welcome the been promised 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 countries for in decades front lines of over a 1000 kilometers. and cities, hundreds comes away from those front lines. routinely being hit. so those nes amd 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 and other kit coming from france. couple weeks of the ukraine, your me really thanked him basically make do with all the kind of leftovers, the western military's have and a 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, a connelly reporting from the ukrainian capital. i'm ben for solon, you've been watching d. w. use up next close up, takes a closer look at the truth behind claims of climate neutrality. and your group is mckenna, will have you used a south by again, again, all the harvesters are immigrants, dolock is they, everything you enjoy eating at home with your family was harvested by people who are being exploited is that.
