thousands of volunteers have been filling the gap, official spirit. there are still more bodies to be found. the melissa chan, thanks for joining us. we started in the us where the race for the white house has entered the home stretch on the last weekend before tuesdays presidential election . the 2 candidates had been criss crossing the country, making their last appeal to voters. they are focusing on the swing states that will determine who will become the 47th president of the united states in georgia's capital, atlanta, democratic candidate campbell, a harris repeated her pledge to be a president for all americans. later she's due to attend a rally in charlotte, north carolina, former president donald trump is also campaigning in north carolina, which is marketing its last day of early voting. he has promised to come,

i don't use on like ration and taxes for as it is easy. let's take a listen at what comma harris and donald trump told voters. and we have an opportunity in this the election to turn the page on out of donald trump, trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. we're done with that. i have done today with the message of hope for all americans. with your vote on tuesday, i will end inflation. i will stop the invasion of massive numbers of criminals that have come into the and i will bring back the american dream. we don't have the american dream, we had a, we had it, you know, we also had the energy independence 4 years ago. this is all you need to know, campbell of broke and she broke it. we will fix it. i will fix it. it will be fixed

very trump there mispronouncing comma la harris's name. once again dw has been looking at what people around the world think about the us election and what the vote means for them. this time the focus is on europe. nobody's brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomenon has more on what's at stake. you select it will come in, i have a storage closer ties with you up. and if she loses, how disruptive could the 2nd still not from the presidency, be europeans, do not get a choice in that selection, but they will have to bear the consequences. the united states is the most important part the for us in the european union. we face a group on to lenses and beat a migration on cry might change code might change on, you know, security efficiency in brussels could elected you as president. they would certainly choose come a law harris. she promises continue. it's he would buys and the zip codes and those

security ends tray, even though many to tell us the do not really know exactly what kind of foreign policy comcast harris has. but if the trump is back in the white house along with he's america 1st approach, it's more than ever the case of europe on his own. the you commission has even set up a special unit known as the trump task force to prepare for the fall out of the election during his 1st term, trump in post love, it's on steel and aluminum from europe. now he's promising to introduce terence on old for an important product. you will have the source of their routers, here's a home and sign and go see something like that and move on to that box. i think is a war in case there are some victories, almost europe, and believe that come a lot. harris understands. that's tariff with 1st and foremost heard you as consumers. they also view her as a strong support help ukraine and nato and,

and leader determines to defense democratic values. it would be a big win for also the joining democratic forces, visit your fee union and with the united states, drums fuss the nation with also retire young leaders as seen by many europeans as a threat to democracy. and he's a position to support team q. crane is a source of worried for many on the continent. well, you've heard of military intelligence. so sharing we, uh, we agree. this who have g e, a implications for the war effort of migrating forces. i always bought movements on boston side uh 0 long as the law uh, shipment is out of somewhat even though trump is not likely to pull out of may to

his repeated questioning of whether he went to defense, nato allies has already undermined the alliance experts say it's need to headquarters, they're also getting ready for any scenario. what didn't you need to achieve? might clue to making clear. he can work with harris as well as with trump being thanks to him, we pushed up to the defense spending, but also what he set on china is now very much taken on board. so i think by many of us, your opinions understand they will have to invest more in their own defense, regardless of who in steve selection, but would come along harris many here believe europe would have an ally in the white house. we are joined by mike over house. he's an expert on transatlantic relations at the german institute for international and security affairs. thanks for joining us. a 2nd at trump presidency has been described as a potential disaster for europe. security. is it or might it shake things up as

well? uh, the 2nd trunk trump presidency will definitely be a situation where conflicts and the transatlantic relationship would become much more acute as compared to what we saw under the vine presidency. that's for sure. but i think we must not delude ourselves also. i mean, regardless of who becomes president, the united states looks at the world a very differently than we in germany. and in many other european countries of the united states continues to see itself as a global power facing global security threats. so china tensions in the end to pacific the growing throughout from north korea. all these are that are seen as the greatest long term challenges in the united states and not necessarily ukraine in europe. no european politicians have long pledge to improve the integration of their defense and form policies to prepare for the prospect of a us pull back, regardless of who wins the us presidency. why haven't they made more progress as

well to start on a positive note, i think your opinions have made some progress on, on security and defense. i mean defense and military matters has become an integral part of policy making also in the european union. for 2024, for the year 202490 was estimating that you know, europe and nato allies collectively for the 1st time will need their targets off of spending 2 percent of their g. d. p on defense. but there's still a lot to do. i mean, collective defense is still basically outsourced tomato, where dependencies on the united states are very acute and not sustainable in the long term. and we still don't have a common for an uh, calling european foreign policy. we still have, you know, 27 independent national foreign policies, and that's

a problem. i think how high is the risk of trans pulling out of nato. it, depending on who you talk to. some people think he won't actually do it. and also in terms of trump, a band and in ukraine, i mean what, what store is that for nato and for ukraine, the re election of donald trump would be a much more difficult scenario as compared to the harris scenario. i personally find it also very unlikely. that's trump what to pull the united states out of nato, because in the end, he's not, he's not an isolationist, but the problem is with trump, that's his security policies are highly contradictory. i mean, he lames, the supposed weakness of the bite and administration of, for russia's attack on, on ukraine is constantly talking also about the piece to string. but at the same time, he's fueling fears of world war 3 all the time. and trump also wants to keep us

troops out of international conflicts and my view, that is a contradiction. does europe risk complacency if harris is elected? yes, uh does. it does risk complacency. um, i see this risk, i mean, um the united states is still one of your most important foreign policy partners. but america has, has really changed significantly in recent years in seconds. it has become increasingly overstretched, by its global security alliances of the united states has become much more protection as an economic terms and americans, democracies also under pressure. and all of this means that transatlantic relations will have to be re calibrated no matter what happens on november 5th, and who in the us presidential elections, martha over house. thank you so much for joining us. my pleasure. thank you. here are some more stories making headlines around the world. moto bins are heading

to the poles and mid reports of russian madeline. russia denies accusations made by the you and others that it is trying to undermine the presidential election in the former soviet republic. pro european president, my assign do has distance moldova, from russia. her opponent promises closer ties with moscow on the phone. with the creating president vladimir zalinski has called on western countries to step up their sanctions against russia. he said moscow is increasing its drone attacks and still has the ability to use western and chinese components for weapons. he noted that in october, more than 2000 or ron and built drones were used against ukraine, can be so creative to spain. our emergency crews in valencia have mostly turned from rescue to recovery efforts. days after the floods subsided, dozens of people are still missing. the death toll from the natural disaster has

a hand on this as an outrage. no, i know nothing, no troops, nothing. they have left us alone. we have cleaned our own month, we have had to find food ourselves, and the prime minister petro sanchez announced you will be sending another $10000.00 troops and police offices to the affected areas to help local authorities . it is spain's largest piece time deployment. you also acknowledge the tool, sorry to use have been slow to react if it goes through and i am aware that the response that is being given is notes enough. i know that i know that directly they have problems and shortages, that services have collapsed, municipal offices, a battery by not deal desperate people searching for the relatives of people who cannot access that home. so i'm just gonna homes destroyed and buried by model bodies. i know we have to do back to stick with the name of many residents in

areas hit by the flood. save the winning systems by local authorities failed them as valencia as coming to terms with the scale and cost of this natural disaster. questions of responsibility, new knowledge. and finally, mexico's annual day of the dead holiday has come to a close with a spectacular parade through mexico city norm as skeleton athens cheese loomed large as thousands of people in costume marsh to the beat of drums. the sound of music, the parade marks, the end of the annual holiday, which honors the dead and celebrates life. the day of the dead is a tradition dating back to the ancient as text but the parade through mexico city. as far more recent origins, it was inspired by the opening scene from the james bond film specter and was 1st held in 2016 the
