awe inspiring story about survival. thanks to music. fetch the cello playoff. well, i was the only one i was super lucky. music under the swastika starts november 19th on d. w. ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. results are coming in from us, mid term elections that will set the course for the next 2 years of jo, biden's presidency and future of the united states. one of the winners is already clear. republic and ron at de santis is re elected governor of florida. oh,

with counting underway, other races are much closer as voters decide who will control both houses of congress. stay with us for detail. we use team coverage from across the us. ah. hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome to the show. halls have closed in all but to us states as more results from high stakes, mid term elections. role in republicans have taken the lead in the race for the house, but the battles to take control of the senate is currently neck and neck. americans have been choosing wall makers for the entire house of representatives. that's $435.00 seats, and a 3rd of the seats in the senate. democrats currently controlled both chambers of congress, but polls suggest they could lose the house to the republicans de railing. president biden's agenda and voters are also deciding on many other issues and

races, including a number of state governorships. so let's see what the numbers say for congress, starting with the senate and the seats that are not up for grabs in the selection. now if you add in those newly decided seats, you can see at this point, democrats with $42.00 seats so far against $42.00 seats currently for the republicans, and with vice president pamela harris at casting tie, breaking vote. the republicans would need $51.00 for a majority. and if we look over at the house $71.00, out of the $435.00 seats have so far gone to the democrats and $115.00 to the republicans. but of course, for both chambers, it's still too early to draw any conclusions. razor thin margins in key races, and so he might not have a full picture for days or even weeks. let's get across to the adobe correspondence to me. it's almost gone to reporting from washington

d. c. assuming we heard of that big win for ron de santis. what more can you tell us about that? certainly a very big win. claire right now, looking at with most of the votes, counted in florida, we're looking at numbers that ronda sent us up about 20 points on his rival, charlie cliff crist, who's a former republican running as a democrat here against run descent as it was expected that he would win, he's a very popular governor in the state of florida, but we were expecting of a margin this wide. and what it tells us is that ron descent is really has cemented his position, not only as a favor in the state of florida, but really in the republican party. in general, it's important for our viewers to know his name. if they haven't heard his name yet, because ron to santas really is a star in the republican party and his name has been mentioned, mary often when it comes to the 2024 presidential election, he is considered a potential candidate for the presidency. the problem for ron de santis is that another man also wants to be the republican candidate,

and that is the former president, donald trump. and we know that donald trump has these aspirations. we're expecting him to announce his a bid for the 2024 election next week. rhonda santas is going to have to navigate that very fine line there. of, of course, trying to go for some of the same voters that donald trump would. now what i think is also interesting to note here about the state of florida. clare is it's one that i'm sure international fuels room will remember from previous presidential elections as well. it's one that we often watch to see which way will the state of florida go? well in this election, it has really cemented florida's position as a deep red state or really republican state. republicans have one up and down the ballot. and again, ron descent as winning by a very wide margin, even in the city of miami, from what we've seen so far, which is usually a democratic bastard. so that's been a really interesting race and state, of course to watch. and so we know that mid term elections in the united states almost always punish the party in power, in this case of joe biden. and the democrats in congress. i guess the question in

these races is how badly will they be punished? yeah, that's really been an up and down question. claire, i mean, coming in to election day observers and poll seem to indicate that the democrats would really take a beating that they would lose the house of representative representatives and possibly also the senate. you mentioned that in the senate, we see these a races that are too close to call and indeed they still are waiting for the vote still to be tallied in states like a georgia in states like pennsylvania, arizona, and so on and so forth. but we have so far tonight, seen democrats hold on to some races that were looked at as very competitive races . for example, in the state of virginia. they seem to indicate that perhaps that red su nami to that brad republican wave of winning back the house of representatives and possibly the senate that it might not be as big as expected. and there's one race that i do want to mention, claire. that's interesting. and that isn't the state of pennsylvania. a few

networks here have called that the governor governor's race has gone to the democrat, josh shapiro. and the reason that might be interesting for international viewers is that josh appear the democrat, was running against the republican doug master yano, who is considered a one of the most radical conspiracy theorist who was on the ballad in the country . he embraced the ally the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen, that it was rigged. and again, of the more radical conspiracy theorists who was running in this mid term election . so it seems perhaps he was even too radical for pennsylvania. voters. ok, so rejection there of the big lie that the election was stolen. i'm looking though at the house in the senate, if republicans are able to take control of either of these chambers of congress or both. what will that change in the balance of power mean for president jo biden's presidency and his ability to pass was what cliff, it's one chamber of congress. so if it is the house of representatives, we're going to see a gridlocked congress, something that we witness before and certainly mean that it will be even harder to

get legislation passed. if republicans do manage to win control of both chain of congress, it means a whole load of trouble for joe biden. it will be very difficult for him to get any policy through of course republicans, and said that they're going to work very hard to curb any spending joe biden plans to do. so, for example, he made climate change a priority in his presidency. also more pandemic relief. those are 2 things republicans have said that they will certainly block going forward. also interesting, clear to note that republicans that said, if they wind the house of representatives, they will launch investigation, things to get a very uncomfortable for the president. they want to launch investigations into the u. s. as messy withdrawal from afghanistan into jo biden's border policy. so into his immigration policy along the u. s. a southern border and also an investigation into his son hunter, biden's financial dealing. so those are just some of the ways that the next 2 years be could become very difficult under a republican controlled congress for joe biden, in the white house,

the w correspondence to meet almost in washington. thank you so much for reporting . well, us voters say that the most important issues for them in this election were inflation and the economy. that's perhaps not surprising considering how many people are paying, how much people are now paying for gasoline and groceries. if you compare it to just a year ago. let's also take a look at more issues that are on voters minds across the united states. you know, the economy is, is rigged for the wealthy. and, you know, and if we don't change that, you know, we're sunk. we've got to do something the reverse, the inflationary trend that, you know, in the democrats are spending out of control. congress is spending out of control, needs to come back in life. honestly, the portion rights are really big right now. as a woman, i feel like it's really important to protect our health, and those who can't help themselves. it's just better for all the women who can

have that right to care. well, the number one thing is the pro life issue. it's been disgusting, watching joe biden proclaimed himself as a catholic and not standing for pre born citizens of our nation. i think the crime issues overblown. i. it's really a lot of rhetoric and fear monitoring. i think that if we take appropriate steps to protect ourselves and say, well, i like to vote every election, but i think especially this time, you know, it's about reproductive rates. it's about the environment. it's about ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to vote republican because i want them to start running this country like a business like trumped in ok. get us back on track, please. i came today to vote for democratic parties and for to keep women and power . because i believe that the votes of the majority are not being put into consideration, especially members of the trans community,

the eligibility community and people of color. i don't believe that our interests are being valued at all by people in power, of course inflation, the economy purchase or her. and i thought was going to be able to this year and i won't have to wait another year. so it's bad. so let's get more on this from dw peter rolla doll. he is part of our election team jones, the night in the studio, peter biden, and trump, you would be forgiven. i think that they are on these ballots. they are not, we've been talking about them all night though because they really overshadow these midterm races. why is that? well, because the midterms are often seen as i kind of referendum on on the president's income presence agenda. and in this case we, i think it's safe to say that biden has proved to be a drag on democrats, despite actually netting a lot of legislative victories. you know, from

a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill to major investments in climate and health care to a gun safety bill. really strong employment numbers. and there is a sense that he has not been able to deliver on a lot of the promises that he ran on back in 2020. there is a sense that he was elected to restore order to the country after 4 years of trump . and what a lot of americans feel is that the country has only continued that descent into further chaos and instability. and we're really seeing that reflected in the approval numbers bite and has for all his legislative victories, really, really low drop of numbers. he is in the low fourties that is lower than obama, and it is about as low as trump, and he was a historically unpopular candidate or precedent. so it really does look like bitin,

has heard more than he's helped democrats in this case. what about tram? he's also overshadow. yeah, he control to dominate the party. and you know, we saw him endorsed more than $300.00 candidates in an interview that aired on american t v tonight. and he said, and i quote, i think if they win, i should get all the credit. if they lose, i should not be blame at all. you know, it's very typical trump, but critics do wonder though if that is correct, there is some worried that some of the candidates that even doors, that they are to extreme, that they're on tested. you know, there are several of them have been found to have made races. antis, medic massage in a state in the past. and so there is this question lingering could you know, raises that should have been safely, republican or republican, should have a better chance of winning, you know, could they have a stronger chance of going into the mid terms,

then they fit tonight. so that's going to be interesting to see, and obviously the big question is, look at ahead. trump has hinted at another run for president that he might announce in the coming days. so that's what everyone's eyes on rising, hinting heavily at that. indeed, i want to talk about the demographics and how they factor in into the selection. we know that black voters and latino voters, as groups generally favor the democrats and elections like this. have we continued to see that be true this year? yeah. what we're seeing is that especially black voters, that for a very, very, very long time was in the in the 90 percent range. when it came to support for democrats. a we're starting to see some of that support peel off. part of the, the reason for that is that a lot of black voters feel like they've been taken for granted, especially black men, are starting to look a bit closer at the republican party. part of that is also that there's, you know,

a sense that the democrats are very concerned with a bit more. so cult woke identity issues and a lot of black voters and latino voters, just culturally, are more conservative when it comes to abortion. when it comes to other issues, you know, gender issues, for instance. and so we are starting to see, you know, they're not abandoning the party, they're still pretty solidly behind the democrats, not the issue. but when raises get this tight in are decided, you know, by a few 1000 boats and sometimes even less than that, then that really makes a difference. ok, republicans chipping away at that voter at those motor bases. then thank you so much for coming to join me in the studio. it's peter rodolfo, our election team. while the world is watching the u. s. mid terms aware that the outcome will affect not only domestic policy, but also american foreign policy. the war in ukraine in particular, is

a concern for american voters. some are questioning how much longer the us should support ukraine, fight against russia. thrushes war against ukraine is one. the u. s. has not been able to look away from. americans have already sent more than $60000000000.00 worth of assistance into this was a democrat president joe biden has promised to continue to do all it takes to defend ukraine sovereignty as americans had to the polls in the mid term elections . us congress is expected to touch more republican. and the big question everybody is asking is, what impacts that will have on us assistance to ukraine and other allies? well, the answer depends on who you are. there will be enough support no matter who controls which house and given president biden still in the white house. so i, i am quite confident that very, very strong support will continue for ukraine. yet one prominent republican stuff,

it's sending a very different signal ahead of the elections. kevin mccarthy is the top republican in the house of representatives. he says he believes americans would no longer be willing to write a blank check to ukraine in the face of a biting recession back home. after all, the soaring prices of gas, food, and housing top, the list of worries for ordinary americans. democrats see that a republican majority in congress could soon make ukraine a domestic bargaining chip. but poll, so more than 2 thirds of americans back us assistance to ukraine, even if there is a republican majority in the house and or the senate. i think perhaps the experience of working together are so closely and so confidentially and with so much trust on sanctions might perhaps help if you lose

10 who's over trade protectionism in general. or over the larger question of how to deal with malignant chinese behavior in the trade and technology route. i'm going to say i'm cautiously optimistic on that. warnings that china may try to invade taiwan rather sooner than later could become the next test for the west. and for americans willingness to pay a price for global leadership. while the u. s. state of arizona in the south west of the country is home to one of the most watched contests in this election. the republican candidate for governor has echoed former president donald trump's claims the 2020 election was stolen just by official investigations and court challenges. finding them to be baseless. we'll get more from our correspondent in phoenix in just a moment, but 1st, let's take

a closer look at carrie lake. miss carrie lake, the former fox news tv host is becoming the new figurehead of tramps to make america great. again, republicans, her main calling card. this is called joe biden, and illegitimate prison was, i mean he lost the election initial be in the white house. we had a corrupt election. it was that promotion of the big steel lie about the 2020 presidential election that drew tramps support and his seal of approval was what she needed to go from regional celebrity to republican candidate for arizona governor. here's how trump recounts the moment their political alliance caught fire . i met her and almost immediately, i shared this one is in grad about an a person who you just saw, one of the hardest politicians in this world. i think at this moment that i think it's got to be there way for a long time. she is incredible. like tom lake is tough on immigration and

anti abortion. but most of all, she has what it takes to command a political congregation. god is with us, he has chosen me, and he has chosen you. and i don't believe for one second that god made some mistakes. that talent has led many to tip her as a potential running made to trump. if he runs again in 2024, he supported the police, which i spoke earlier to our washington bureau chief in as paul, who is following the race in arizona. a pause or close there. now, after questions over whether voting might be extended, hears in us with more right? pulse of close, like a little bit more than an hour ago. and there were some questions if they, if voting would be extended. why? because some of the printer student work in about 60 polling stations or so. so the republicans filed the request to extend the boarding time by the judge denied it.

the republicans did that because early body was super high here in the state of arizona. and normally it's democrats who mainly go out and go vote early. so the republicans wanted to make sure that every one of our party affiliates had the chance to load. we are here actually at an event from the republican party carry leg is expected to speak a very soon, and i am here give me call. she is a huge carry leg fan. she just told me nicole, why is that? kerry lake is very relatable. she's a mom, she's a hard worker. she did not grow up in politics. so a lot of us can relate to her. so what topics interests you most when it comes to kerry lake a most is the protection of our children. you know, with the border wide open, we had thousands of people coming. a lot of them bringing fentenol and there's trafficking happening of children. and that's my number one issue because i have

children and carry brings up that every time i've heard her speak. do you think she will win tonight? i do. i know she'll and tonight and what if she doesn't win? she'll win. okay, because i thank you so very much. thank you very much. so clear and this is the overall feeling here. she will win and there is no other opportunity, let's say no other possibility. okay, and you can hear also from that republican voter, very motivated by fears that are front and center in the republicans campaigns about immigration at the u. s. southern border with mexico. now kerry, like one of the other things that she's known for, however, is election denial, echoing some of donald trump's baseless claims about a stolen election in 2020. okay, tell us about that. absolutely right, claire. that's also what nicole said. i am the carrie lake herself, keeps saying that i win, and if i don't win,

it's only because the elections are rigged. and that is a huge problem not only for this midterm selection, but maybe even for further elections to come. because you will be submitted to elections. it's not only about governors or senators, it's also about judges and states supreme court judges will, will, in 2024 decide whether the elections or the presidential elections were rigged or not. so if you have election deniers in office who only care about their own party, a candidates that they win, that could be very, very problematic. oh, for a democratic system, if lawyers by the end of the day decide over the outcome of elections, all right, that's all we have time for right now. that's dw washington bureau chief in as poll in phoenix, arizona. thank you so much for that update. we'll come back to this story with more news at the top of the hour on the west mid term elections. now let's look at some

other stories making this. a german government look sat to block the sale of a microchip factory to a chinese own firm due to security concerns. a subsidiary of chinese companies. i microelectronics has had been seeking to take over almost intelligence agencies have said the sale could allow beijing to apply pressure on germany. the wreckage of a plane that crashed in lake victoria on sunday has been recovered. 19 people died in the crash tens, and he has deadliest in decades. lease a bad weather was likely to blame. on day 3 of the un climate summit in egypt, world leaders are repeating the words, implement action and financing. and this is especially true for developing nations . they want richer countries to pay for the damage caused by decades of greenhouse gas emissions. yes, my help. 27 leaders are developing nations are pleading faction. precedent us below

on the summits agenda. the world's poorest countries are 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. listen, i thought 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 in. with 10 days of talks left climate experts, a hoping more of the world's richest polluters will commit to paying their lasha kathy. only 2 weeks last until the world cup and cattle and serious questions remain about the gulf states, treatment of gay and lesbian visitors. that's after commons by the cat's high world
