all we can be the generation, the ends at so good. malaria must die. so millions can live the this is dave elliott is leih from ballot and the final, the company for cumberland harris and donald trump. i had of tuesdays elections in the united states. the presidential candidates and visits at home for the swing states to make a final appeal for both. as the race for the white house goes down to the wire. also on the program, germany's foreign minister on the line of bad bulk visits chief to assure ukraine, but it has balance unavailing support regardless of the outcome of the us in action . well, the music mones, us producing songwriter, quincy, jo. she'd work for some of the biggest stars and produce the wells best selling album. michael jackson's the

. i'm so gal welcome to the program with just the day until the us presidential election. polls indicate the result is still too close to call. the hours for the democrats and donald trump, for the republicans, and making the final push across the key battleground states, vice president, our stock would have monday, driving speranza in pennsylvania to spend the day and the crucial swing state, visiting working class areas, and ending the late night valley, with the numbers including oprah winfrey thought of something on his morning with a campaign event enrolled in the conference in the spring state of north carolina. polls show his chances are about even with his opponent is also having to reading pennsylvania. i'm pittsburgh let's get more, they build up to the big day with the w special correspondent at abraham and joins

us from washington, dc. welcome. what's that most for you? i like that in the us capital well, we been out today, so around dc, and especially specifically in the area around the white house. and you can certainly tell that tomorrow is the big day. security measures are underway in the plaza, around the white house where people could normally just walk in, has no been barricaded. visitors are still allowed to go inside, but certainly security measures are now reaching a height of a high point if you will. we've also been speaking to voters around washington dc, many of them visiting the us capital. and this is what they had to say about their fears and expectations a day ahead of the election. i think i hope for tomorrow is that one people have the opportunity to vote for whoever they want peacefully. and that regardless, there is no violence that comes out of tomorrow's election that we accept the

results of tomorrow's election. and that we can come away from it a little bit more as like a peaceful nation hopefully. and that people can sell for her and no matter what people need to get along, you know, we need to, we need to be able to come together as a nation and enjoy the presence of other people around you and not have to fear there. definitely always are serious living around. do you see like something like the capital. right. so i happen to get in and make it violet around here. but overall i think people will be ok. my message to my follow americans to vote side of the all is vote, a responsive leave or for the future of the country. do not vote against do not vote in favor of your personal emotions and revenge. vote for the country vote for the future of the united states. i hear you're at howard university, a couple of hours will be tomorrow on election night. i talk us through with the significance to the democratic contender. well this is her alma mater,

and this is where she went to university and it is a historically black university here in the united states. so if you can just to paint a picture of what this campus is like today, we're standing very near to the heart of campus, but as you can see around me, there aren't that many students out there. that's because the classes have been moved online as the university braces for the historic day. that will be tomorrow with the vice president, complet harris here. and if she will, she will be giving her acceptance speech. actually not very far away from where i'm standing right behind me is the plaza of the university. and i've been speaking to students here, and many of them have expressed pride in a, in the choice of, of, of howard university for the vice president. one student said that being of howard

in the community that how it represents a has changed her life and that she has no doubts that that will also be that, that, that, that is also the case for the vice president, vice president of harris a as well but certainly what, what students here have been telling me is that normally this is really busy, but everyone here is bracing themselves for a for the big day. and if she does end up winning, if cala harris ends up winning the symbolism of the 1st woman of color president giving her acceptance speech out of historically black university will be huge. and it's something that students here are certainly very aware of. some of the students in your report that you spoke to that very. i talked about the phase of a violence following the elections like as happened on january, the 6th does washington feels safe for the most certainly there's a lot of security measures everywhere you look around. d. c, businesses have barricaded the their,

their store front of you will fearing vandalism in a text. but there's also a huge security official presence on the streets and fears of us security, breach or security incidence. it's something that many people have brought up. remember, january 6th is a january 6, was a very traumatic event for a many american seemed that level of violence unfold in the capital. so that's a shadow the task very wide on people's minds today and i think is something that will keep hearing about in the coming days at the same time. we've also heard people say that they have a lot of faith and belief in law enforcement and that they will be able to to, you know, that these days will test with a lot of a would you know, not, not major incidence. that's also something that we've heard. and remember this hasn't been a violence free campaign. and the republican candidate, donald trump,

he's been the subject of to assassination attempts and assassinations of presidents presidents or a bit of culture. and this is not a unprecedented in the united states, but it's certainly, it's been a, a charged and difficult campaign when it comes to security. so that's something on people's minds. all right, but for now everything feels fine if you, oh, thank you very much. i be w special correspondent abraham in washington dc and so to the opposing predictions with the regular raja, he's a professor of political science and the co director of university of massachusetts almost poll, which conducts public opinion research to inform policy making. welcome back to d. w. professor, how close the candidates polling one bout as one day out, and it's still an open question. who's going to win this polls and nationally show her slightly ahead. but in the states they've been fluctuating and they're well within what we call this margin of error. it could be either way,

it's really hard to get that exact point on a poll. so we, we tell voters, you can be 2 points this way. it could be 2 points that way, which basically tells us that this race is a nick in ok. talk this through some of the lessons pulses of learned since so many of you missed donald trump victory in 2016. well, let me just say pole is a tough thing to. we actually did get the national polls correct? of the problem was the staples, we didn't have enough people in the polls, and we also didn't realize purpose such unique candidate that he attracted a different type of voter voters who didn't trust posters. i'm from the university and they're like, well, we don't trust people, universities, and, and many one respond to the polls. and 2nd, uh, they were shy at that point. they were, they, they wouldn't tell us that they were going to support trump. and so, and more people turned out who were from these groups that don't usually turn out,

so that changed a lot with our pulling and we've tried to make some adjustments since then. but uh, yeah, i would keep my eye on some of these polls in the midwest, especially. this is this notion of, of, of shy paulding responses, people who, who actually don't want to tell you which way that they're going to find a new phenomenon. as it is with them, with people who might be shamed by a neighbors who think you shouldn't be voting for this person. that's less true to that. it's not true. i mean, people do not feel a shy about their voting for trump as they did back in 2016 or 2020. so we think we're getting honest answers. we just don't know who's going to turn up. that's the hard part. and that's, that's, that is a real hard look at. you've talked about the margin of one to 2 percent while we talk about the bottle drawn, states like north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. then being tied,

told to us about how tight vast is in terms of numbers of votes. well, i don't, some of reviewers already nip, remember from 2020 and the previous selection. it could be just as tight. you know, a couple of 1000 voters either way. can give you the select and then a few states can give the selection to one kind of the other. and i should also point out, it doesn't mean that the electoral college is going to be split. we could see some, a set of folders and each of these they turn out in higher numbers than we expected . and that would break in every state. and he or she, trump, or hers could win each of those battleground states. we, we just don't know, it's so hard. when buses are expected to give her as a bump in this election, what's your polling of women? i told you the women are definitely breaking for harris and significant numbers. the, the women's vote is extremely important. many of them are highly motivated by the

abortion issue, and many of them who might have been leaning towards trump. uh, i don't think they want to go further than this is where we might have some shy borders. they might be from republic, republican families, and maybe they might turn out that way, but they are definitely breaking towards harris. at this point. men, voters break slightly for, for trump. and so there is a gender gap in the selection. it is, it is pretty significant. told to us about momentum, complet harris, as uh, as just said that her campaign has it on that side. a polls all said to have shifted towards donald trump over the past few weeks. is momentum, a real thing? well, what we mean by the momentum is that some of these undecided voters, and there are very few of them are starting to break, they're starting to make decisions. and we start to see that reflected in the polls . and you feel as though there's a, i wouldn't call it a wave certainly,

but you feel at your side is starting to gain some of these late breaking voters. and right now it looks as though in some of the states that might be true of harris . but then again, trump is doing pretty well better than some people expected in some of the states that harris was leading in, in the, the, in the northern states like michigan and wisconsin. so it can go either way. the closeness of, of this particular a racist is just the most extreme example of us elections over the last, let's say 20 years. why have they become so close and so hard to predict as well as, you know, i, i've mentioned this before that the country is truly divided. and as you get close to the election, people start to pick their side and they won't budge from that side. you know, i will say this, and the republicans probably would be doing better because barton is very unpopular

and, you know, people say, how could they bill for truck? well, a lot of people are voting for trump, which is why the race is so close. many posters would have said if it was anybody but trump, if the republican party would be sweeping their selection. so he has actually brought the party down according to many posters, the talking to a fossil nice thing as ever, professor regular roger from massachusetts almost po. thank you. thank you. we outcome of the i feel that she could have a profound impact on people outside the united states, not least on ukrainians. candidates have stock and contracting visions of the us role and the will. donald trump has promised to end the ukraine's that war against russia's invasion. if he liked it with a deal, the thing haze was, would be good for both sides and contrast to come to harris. mister chump is a storage opponent of the billions in us aid for keith. well, today jim is foreign minister went to key. we're actually was briefed on the

deployment of jim and i'm across the time. after the us at gemini, is the top contributes of military aids to ukraine. the political turbulence here in berlin has some in ukraine. why the gemini might not be a reliable partner of the line of bad luck. i attempted to leave here. it was fast expressing countries unwavering support a device we, i know how frightening the debates in germany might sound to your ears when when the aggressor and you, the victims, are confused, sometimes deliberately, some tire of what's in the month when some of my compact periods. so don't worry about german support for peace and freedom, and ukraine right now is in a sock about so i say once again, clearly hearing keys on the eve of the election in the united states for we as the german government, as a largest country in europe,

i have squared aware of our responsibility on what is the fund for to him as a german foreign minister last spring and i keep correspondence. nick connelly. welcome a, nick. i was laid a bad bulk able to ease case fee is about german support. look, feel, she came with fresh money, 200000000 euros to help you crank it through the winter and protected energy and structure which russia is constantly trying to take down butts. they'll see. well, that's the question marks not least the us election, but also the stability of coalition. whether that coalition that she is part of will be in place when you are present. united states gets the white house, it will have fully popped by then. and then obviously, you know, there's debate, she talks about off not just among the kind of left and right talk to you that will touch it for germany in the fucking taste and to the left punch in germany, but also within the child. so soul says s p d, where there's lots of increasingly loud voices questioning whether school for

ukraine can continue as it is. and so it felt like lots of what she was saying was actually directed back to berlin, basically telling people to get on with helping ukraine as has been promised, even said in results to a question that it's time for people in berlin to get on with that jobs and to pull themselves together. that was pretty uh, kind of strong language off the cuff of that from home. you're supposed to question since and there was a real sense of that. so, you know, she was really hoping that by being here reminding people back in germany about the price, the things paying in terms of constant during the tax. people who haven't had a decent night's sleep in months if not years. and the threat of, you know, really prolonged blackouts if these attacks on the interest which in you that maybe she could, you bang heads together and get actually people in jail me to realize. but it could soon be the case that germany will have to bear the brunt of sporting ukraine if, if the united states pulls out of that help. what would the 2nd trump presidency? what, what would that likely mean? full ukraine. so most people see those claims and don't trump that he

could enter what he says in 24 hours as basically code for forcing ukraine to capitulate. but basically pulling the plug on support, few grain, and then assuming that the landscape will go capping hands to pitch in and science, i'm going to trace of it gives the russians everything that they want for. now that seems pretty unrealistic because we see no indication from coaching that he wants to talk. he thinks he's winning his troops or making progress in the east. and for now there's, there's no sign of a willingness to negotiate that. i think trump is the big and there is some hope, i mean, i guess your brains have to hope for it, you know, for posts outcome in any scenario that trump could actually know to live up to expectations that he might be basically a joke. and that he might, finding the patient doesn't wanna negotiate, end up giving you crane more weapons and basically throwing all the kind of chess pieces of the boat that is a very big hope and that lots of if there and i think, you know, the overwhelming hope among kind of policy makers here, even though they don't necessarily happy with everything the bite and team has done is 4 hours victory and more of the say. what then about the medium to long term.

it's not him, is it? that is good reason to be such ebony was skeptical about ukraine ever joining nato today. chance of the shelves, dogs. the question on the topics after meeting with nato secretary general, my router is germany standing in the you, in the way of ukraine's native future. yes, it seems to be pretty much the kind of universal conclusion, but it's not just jesus of the us. we've seen very spirit reluctance from joe biden and his team to offer that invitation to a nature that ukraine wants to. certainly, germany is a country that ukraine will have to convince if he wants to get that invitation. and we've seen not just that dodging of the question from shows for goes ahead reports in peach care today of the people around schultz talking about finland ization, which means basically ukraine being neutral and maybe joining the but not nato some kind of kind of the 3rd way if you grade not quite in the russian hill but, but not in the european one. either. that obviously doesn't seem very attractive

seen from kia because finland doesn't want to play that role anymore itself. it's joined nato. it says it needs a to, to protect itself from brushing expansion. so there is a real worry that even there may be people like the book, you know, that people are very supportive of ukraine and certain parts of the current coalition in germany. other parts that coalition are more skeptical and they're trying to work out how they can convince those people invalid. next time, cute deputies make totally, inc. keith well, you train doesn't have as many soldiers as it needs to defend itself against the russians invasion. so it's in listing prisoners to fill the gaps. i corresponded mag. xanda has met with some of the convicts tons, soldiers going to the front lines and exchange for their freed up. not long ago, these men were locked up for often violent crime. i know they're being trained to kill. why let's go, let's go attack your brain is turning criminals into soldiers to try to fill the

ranks and hold back the russians. yes. and they are set to have certain advantages . a lot. the sounds like the boys are already hardened by life. there's a concept of what honor and dignity are and therefore these guys have a lot of motivation. maybe when they go to service soldiers, they make good soldiers. so, but let me see what we have over this is russell. not all of them serve the time in including their instructor. got the story. yeah, she was a soldier in the don bus more before being sentenced to 8 years for aggravated battery. he served 5 and a half and got early release and returned for rejoining the military universe forward. this is the man i showed you before. you need to lean on with your helmet glass doors to eat doors. as a fellow conduct, victor knows where these recruits come from. as a soldier, he also knows where they're headed next. now he is passing on what you learned,

fighting in the trenches. the hood is just 23. you spent the last 5 years, his entire adult life in jail, from the neutral. there's nothing for me to do in prison. i ended up there right of stupidity at all. i was young. i got into a fight, and i ended up in prison. in atlanta volunteer, he was never about redeeming himself. he tells us what about having a purpose in life and protecting others. now, pretty much with them was right now if you're ready to go. but i know that this feeling might change on the battlefield, is just the score interrupted. we just had to stop the interview. the instructor shouted take cover and now we're taking cover underneath these trees here. it turns out this was a f p, a russian suicide drone. this term though, it didn't it using prisoners to fight the war was long found upon here in ukraine.

the russians began recruiting and prisons early on. many ended up as cannon fodder . the ukrainian prisoners are being given the same training as other recruits. some say they seem to adapt faster and show more motivation than the average civilian. like most soldiers, these men will serve until the end of the work, or until they are just abled or killed. we meet with men recovering from combat injury, se yours and realize of it all as well a lot. and i told him 11 to say if he's as loyal as a person for any support it seems is welcome to come through. i saw for the concussion and the last 70 percent of my vision and i see where people i'm completely deaf in one year of the yvonne is

a father of 5. he's a veteran of the war and on the us he was jail for aggravated robbery. that was being off 10 years imprisonment with confiscation of property discusses. i served 7 years. we had 3 legs because i understand that it wasn't worth it unless there wasn't keeping the right company. they didn't have the right friends whose loan was hit by shrapnel in his recovery. he did time for a theft and fraud. now he's fighting for me. no. so no. i've changed the system, but i don't even want to talk about what's happening at the front with such a situation. the russians advance and advance with not knowing what will happen when we try to do something to stop it. certainly as the and then we can stop all

of them quickly, but at least some of them because the village these convicts are taking the big risks for their freedom. but many seem to think it's a way to leave old mistakes behind and change the course of their lives. meanwhile, how did you train this? one is 11000. north korean troops have reached rushes. costs composed of age and under of packed with moscow presents that includes the western allies to respond to the deployment and the pills. have permission to use long range weapons, the pin size flush of the training and troops stores and incursion into the coast beach. and in august, in a failed attempt to draw a russian troops away from east a new cray, it's finally legendary us music, producer, songwriter, quincy jones, has died. he was $91.00 is 7 decade career, begun in chicago, and i tend to become one of the most renowned music produces of the month. and we worked with a wide range of styles including frank sinatra,

years old, you know, started with right child support in. he was 6 in the line through talked area and they same linux on everybody's really holiday. louis armstrong, all the way to 50. so jones, who's considered to music royalty. mr. quincy jones, women, ronnie's, and a was all over the world. he's been nominated for 79 grammy's, and 127. he's one of i think 20 e got winters in the world. that's the whole the quadrant of awards for anybody does know the and the grammy oscar tony. and oh yeah. he also produced the biggest selling album all time and the biggest selling single of all time. quincy jones made it look easy, but it's not life did not begin that way. it was music that saved him from chicago street gangs. and it's more than 7 decades of music,

for which he will be for ever remembered. it's just down to remind you of our top story with just today until the us presidential election. democrats da. com la harrison republic and donald trump making this final push is across the key battleground states are starting to have monday driving pennsylvania. jumping on his morning with a campaign events in north carolina, hold on the elections in the courts in the day in just a moment. the

city of the only place in news comes here to find some location. like the in 45 minutes on d w. the

do you know, which should vc industries have the highest c o 2 emission rates would use guess the concrete transforming business delivers onset, the bigger house, but the real new deal just reimbursing the wash. now the so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and one different thing in some lines in your parent. i just want to pursue what steps nice on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable stuff. i want to indicate

it's time to to and then when generation nash, which now dw documentary, the it's nearly time for voters in the united states to decide who will leave the world. only remaining economic and military superpower, a black female vice president from the west coast or palm, a time convicted felon, was already been president. you'll used to hearing it by now, but this election is still too close to call. and might even be decided by the courts rather than by voters. and then what i'm feel gail in the lane and this is the day the in less than 90 to.
