we don't do something our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air youth with this sleep and d, w oh ah ah, this is dw news, live it from berlin to night. americans casting their ballads in mid term elections a. what is at stake for the us and for the world you, as president, vice says that a win for the republicans would threaten the future of democracy itself. and is history about the repeat itself. former president donald trump hinting he may make

another one for the white house, also coming up to night at the cop 27 summit in egypt, developing countries save funds are needed now to protect the front line communities of climate change. the place is already struggling with devastation from global warp. ah, i'm burned. gov is good to have you with us voting is underway and crucial mid term elections in the united states. the decisions made today at the ballot box could mean a change in the balance of power on capital hill. if the democrats lose control of both the house and the senate, the ability of president biden to push his agenda forward, could be severely compromised. poles favor the republicans who have focused on to the economy and inflation in this campaign. more than half of their candidates say

that they believe the unfounded claims that donald trump was the real winner of the 2020 presidential election. and that fact is raising fears among democrats, that the very future of democracy in the us could be at stake. w. washington bureau chief in his poll spoke to voters in the state of arizona about the issues that are motivating and driving their choices. today. people and government right now don't care about the fact that we are deeply in debt, that there is great inflation that immigrants are running into the country without any stopping them. nobody seems to care. our vote is super important is here in arizona. the latino community vote is so important. we have a lot of numbers, but we don't necessarily have the power that to represent us. and so that's why it's so important for every single person that can vote to come here and vote today

. i don't trust the outcome of this election. gonna have to, you know, i didn't like the, you know, outcome or the last one, but you gotta move on or get a fix all that stuff. you know? so i think they matter because i'm a woman and i'm also lesbian. so my rights are definitely at stake. and that's why i'm here to vote. earlier i spoke with our correspondent def, on z molds in washington, d. c. he told me what president biden can expect if republicans, when control of congress, both the chambers go to their republicans, then you will have really a partisan politics war at your hands. what i mean by that is that, of course, the president will not have it easy in any way or form to push any legislation forward any of his agenda points, right. that's why he refer to this is the election way. decide on which way america goes. the democratic slash progressive way, or like mr. biden,

says the president says, the republican way going backwards back to trump back to how it was then back to not spending money in areas. the democrats want to spend money on environment infrastructure is etc, even internationally speaking ukraine, the 8 for ukraine, mister by then, the democrats, they spend freely as of now, right? the republicans have already said that they will take a good hard look at how much money was spent and what they will be willing to spend in the future. so this is international implications, but as i said, white house, democratic with biden, and a, a congress written republican hands on mr. biden, would probably be a lame duck. that was stuff on the months. they're reporting from capitol hill in washington. blessed the war in ukraine continues. many people are looking for missing, loved ones. now some are fear to dead, but in a number of cases, no bodies, no corpses have been found. levy relatives hoping that their loved ones could still

be alive. sometimes the dna test can shed light on the matter. he w as much. he has berlin reports to night from the town of is in a town that was recently retaken by ukrainian forces. how they wait to see the investigate is bringing dna and testament. you'd mealer was china, and her relative just have questions about herself. he was serving in the ukraine territorial defense force. when the russians came to ease you. she lost contact, but didn't dare to ask too much. every one knew the russians were looking for families of ukrainian soldiers. i put a whole as a younger boy, i hid. i was afraid that someone might tip them off. yet we had a lot of my son's military stuff at home, but i was very scared of a little boy allan 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. there 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 the move by a dna sampling unit for many, the cheeks swap of his the only hope for clarity. many of the bodies in the mass graves were in such bad condition that immediate identification wasn't possible the other to day. genuine idea, yvonne of a will give a sample. she fled with their child just before the russians arrived, leaving her father in hospital like late as she heard the hospital was shelled.

isn't actually good. i found a doctor from is you had flint, the 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 is doing the same. her son said to have died in an air raid. soldiers from his unit all can offer her little hope. mozilla prayer to come off. unfortunately, if you consider where he was when the bomb head, there's no chance he could aspire to the bomba was at the emotions in the mouth. but they never found his body. and so don't know for certain what happened. the soldiers i here to testify, what you all know who'd mealer has already given investigators a dna sample, but hasn't heard anything from her relative, tries to find out more. but there's no news today. we're still on the my as

long as there's nobody, i still have hope. you're good. oh no, not much. oh, the voice, the soldiers promised the women that they stay in touch. that's all anyone can do. on day 3 of the you and climate summit in egypt, world leaders are repeating the words, implement action and financing. and this is especially true for developing countries. they want richer nations to pay for the damage caused by decades of greenhouse gas emissions. like my help, 27 lead of the developing nations are pleading for action, blessing us below in palo, we are being drawn and quarter cove. it decimated our economy. even as we are working to rebuild the climate crisis is tearing us apart. limb by

limb and they're demanding rich countries have done far more to heat up the planet . finally agree to make the fossil fuel industry pay for some of the damage. it's cold afternoon. in the 1st half of this year, 6 fossil fuel companies and emphasized 6, made more than enough money to cover the costs of major climate damages, and developing countries with nearly $70000000000.00 in profits. it is about time that these companies are made to pay a global cobb carbon tax on the profits as a source of funding for loss or damage. the issue of loss and damage of who should pay the huge costs involved in mitigating the effects of the climate crisis is high on the summits agenda. the world's poorest countries, already suffering disproportionately from the impacts of climate change. germany's

chancellor shalt said his country was committed to helping as he left the talks the some about some of that is why germany has also announced that we will contribute to making international climate financing possible. the target is 100000000 euro a year. germany will contribute 6000000000 to this by 2025. and this is then indeed our big contribution to this difficult situation is actually log with 10 days of talks left climate experts, a hoping more of the world's richest polluters will commit to paying that vash. athey earlier i spoke to nisha krishnan with the world resources institute, and i asked her what is coming out of this climate summit that will help people who are already suffering from global warming? thanks very much for having me and yeah, i think that's a great question. so i think for example,

the cop 27 presidency just today launched in global plan that looks at mobilizing state and non state actors and adaptation goals for 2030. i mean, i think i caught this here and there quite a lot of initiatives that look at, for example, how you there resilience and small older farmers, the devastating impacts that we've seen. whether that's too much water or too little water, has really devastated farmers all over the world. and we're seeing investments, for example, in nature based solutions to help farmers improve the quality of their soil, improve the generation of food and a food security. as i was looking at, for example, how we actually support post harvest storage rate and how do we actually improve and reduce the food loss waste that we see in the system right now. there's also an investment in irrigation, for example, that's being announced in potentially renewable energy based irrigation. i'm to

really move away from the fossil fuel jap dependence. there's quite a lot going on at char, i'll shake that really focuses on agriculture and improving food security going forward. the focus of this climate, some appears to be more on the but experts are calling loss or damage or is this, this idea that rich countries pay compensation for damage that's been returned poor countries by climate change. there's more emphasis on that. it seems in, on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. do you think that is the right focus for the summit? i mean, i think at the end of the day we're trying to focus on everything. right? obviously, prevention is better than the cure. but at this point, given what the panel governmental, intergovernmental panel on climate change that earlier this year, the impacts we're seeing of climate change are coming faster and at a higher frequency and more severity. it, there is no way really for us not to look at a see

a loss inductance issue in 1st of all impacts that means everywhere facing. and the fact is that we do need to deal with this. we do need to address that even at the same time that we might be cutting emissions. and now is the time bait. we cannot go away. for example, from what has happened. what has been happening over the last 4 in 5 years in the horn of drought and lack of water food to report light, stop at this point. that unfortunately we're out of time nisha but but please try to talk again. there's a lot more to talk about needs to kristen with the resources institute. thank you. will gays and lesbians be able to feel safe for the upcoming soccer world cup in could tar? the country's prime minister has just given a security guarantee for visiting l g b t q football fans. that after the could,
