12:03 pm
more day. just one more day in the most consequential election of our lifetime. and the momentum is on our side. the former us president and republican nominee donald trump, delivering his closing speech in michigan, another battle ground state. where he rode tomorrow, we can fix every single problem our country faces the beautiful that is new. i joined on stage by his children. trump told his supporters, the election is in their hands. yes, we are old enough to deal with what we have at the stroke of midnight election day began with voting in a tiny township in new hampshire. the results,
12:04 pm
3 votes for harris and 3 for trump poles suggest a knife edge race with the rivals, neck and neck inside the ground state. the tide contest could mean america will face a longer wait for the final results. i know they always spoke to the us political analysts list about how harrison's trump are trying to appeal to people to turn out and vote is going to be, can you get every last supporter that is on your side to the doors to the polls because it will be all about turn out, and it'll be about democrats maintaining that smaller version that they've already established in the early voting and trunk team overtaking it. so we don't be about, you know, in, in pennsylvania, in 2020, it came down 280000 votes in 2016, it came down 240000 votes, and that is an incredibly small margin that we can expect again, tomorrow. mission to the now whoever wins the 2020 for us presidential election
12:05 pm
will serve a full year term and the white house starting in january. but the guy that with the winning line is not entirely straightforward for the 2 candidates. america's electrical system is complicated. and sometimes confusing. how does it all work that will use it as such on those unexplained every 4 years, the world needs a refresher for that very confusing us presidential election process. americans will cast roughly a 160000000 pallets by the time election day comes to close in several different ways, including tens of millions submitted early in the last few weeks. but the presidential candidates comma harris for the democrats and donald trump, for the republicans, won't win this race for the white house by getting the most votes across the country. instead, it will come down to a contest across the 50 states of america and
12:06 pm
a district of columbia. that's washington dc, and something called the electoral college. it's a system established by america's founding fathers, in part as a compromise, because they couldn't agree between selecting a president by popular vote or by congress. and this is how it works. each state is awarded a certain number of electors, roughly based on the size of its population and equal to a number of lawmakers in the us legislature. see the numbers on the map. there are $538.00 electors in total. california holes the most 54 because of its huge population of 39000000. and at the other end states with tiny populations and comparison like wyoming have only 3. the electors have one vote each and kala harris or donald trump needs to win at least $270.00 of them to become the next president of the united states. most states have
12:07 pm
a winner takes all policy where all electrical boats go to the popular vote. we are in the state. there are 2 exceptions, maine and nebraska. whereabouts are split between the statewide winter and winter in each congressional district. meaning both harris and trump could pick up one or more electro votes in the states. but most important in this race are the so called battle ground or swing states because they swing between blue for democrats and red for republicans. they are the states of arizona, nevada, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin places where either canada could when they all have different demographics and economies. and there were donald trump, and kama harris have focused almost all their campaign efforts, each spending hundreds of millions of dollars on ads and campaign rallies.
12:08 pm
pennsylvania, for example, is an important prize on the board with 19 electoral votes. that state is key in, hey, has the states nickname the keystone state? when trump one in 2016 and biden, in 2020, it was the call in pennsylvania that made history. both candidates has spent a ton of time and money here. most political analysts believe whoever wins in pennsylvania will be well on their way to capturing the white house and the presidency. but that's just one part of the story. each swing state has had pulling numbers to close to call throughout this election. this is why there's been so much attention paid to these handful of states and just what they will ultimately decide . most of the time that us now as us both of this cost the ballots, germany is looking with trepidation at who will be the next fewest president, but then says it will foster productive relations with whoever is elected boss. a
12:09 pm
2nd, trump presidency, could spell trouble for gemini, the kingship between germany and the u. s. is thriving. what may have been jo biden's last 4 in troop as president was in fact to berlin. here he was awarded, germany's highest honor, the grand cross of the order of merit to good germany. the friendship with the united states has been, is now, and will always be ex, essentially important biden's lifelong commitment to the trans atlantic relationship and focus on foreign policy helped us determine friendship. lou key in german chancellor shows see eye to eye on support for ukraine and nato. the us is germany biggest trading partner, and berlin stance on china has increasingly aligns with washington. the expectation is that with comma la harris as president,
12:10 pm
the report would continue on the same track he's. i will probably play a more important role and, but i'm pretty sure that the transatlantic relationship to the partnerships will remain for it's a far cry from the days when donald trump repeatedly locked horns with former german chancellor on going america's back when he was president, trump regularly criticized germany's defense spending and bash, michael's immigration policy for his presidency can be considered a low point in the relationship between washington amberlynn. i was stressful not only because of germany, but uh, i would say the style, the government in style of uh, president trump. but particularly towards germany because of, uh, issues like trade, with isolation as trumps, threatening to cut support for ukraine and slapped tear of some all imported goods . it's hard to imagine a harmonious relationship. if he gets back into the white house, germany is ruling parties,
12:11 pm
fuel berlin is more prepared this time for one having taken on more responsibility for its own defense. the conservative opposition disagrees on side. does the frontier, the german government has to be blamed for at least for the past 4 years for not doing enough to secure a of a big a european sovereignty on security and defense topics. the german government says it will stay friends with the us, regardless of who ends up in the white house. polls show that 2 thirds of germans would prefer a comma le harris says us president. and then political berlin, there appears to be a consensus that with the president is carmella harris, the u westerman friendship for sans on more solid ground. well, that's good morning, this way. the beats a buyer who sits on the german parliaments for an affairs committee, and he also coordinated relations with us for the last uh,
12:12 pm
german government. uh mr. by we heard a few concerns then that story from your colleagues and the bonus talk as you have left on us durham and relations during donald trump's 1st presidency. do you have any concerns on what all the as yes, a share the concerns under a 2nd presidency of donald trump. but certainly we, we will see a lot of challenges in the transatlantic relations gotten across the big pond regardless of the next president, kamala harris on donald trump, with a guard to donald trump. certainly, 2 things are in the standard topics that, that, you know, we should be focused on one is defense and security, major company contribution and a solution or is support with regard to the rush and walk aggression against ukraine. the 2nd big thing is certainly traded economy. we expect more protection
12:13 pm
isn't here. now, relations between the current general government abide and administration, seeing very close and without problems. that's possibly because of the war and ukraine. do you think? i mean, you've touched up on this, but will that change depending on whether trump or hire is wins, is one thing that it would, i expect to be the same under a present as have come out of hair as our present adult. trump would be more expectations from, from the european members of nato, and from the europe, from the new europe, from the member countries, with a guard to taking up more responsibility for around security. because the american friends, regardless of democrats or republicans. so telling us for quite some years now. well, it's your continent and it's your neighborhood. we are here to support and help, but start to change and take up more responsibility. certainly there will be a more, a disruptive and faster, you know, transactional government and
12:14 pm
a president donald trump compared to it to come out of harris. so that would be a difference. well, if we look at secure, i'd say mark hood to the new nato secretary general, it has said trump stewart and stands behind the alliance and quote, but from past in the past, also threatened to leave tonight so. so kind of a to rely on the us on the truck, it has a really its presence to leave nato as far as i written. and i have not heard a word from, from donald trump, either as president or after this, that he was threatening to leave actually need to as a member country or to be to reduce the mountain the financial contribution he has set though, that then a to is obsolete, but then again, french prison my call. it's also sat in the range of the brain that nato, that has proved to be wrong. so i just recently met with really in our circle
12:15 pm
consultants of donald trump. is that peter? and there was, there's nobody who believes in leaving natal have done, trump will you know, move into the open office again. so we yes, of course, on concert something will change. i'm not know you, but i think nobody needs to live under. you know, a con, concerns are okay. you know, one half when, when it has to have concerns. but nobody needs to be like a freight of an america under president donald trump. we have a solid foundation across the atlantic trade culture security that will, you know, stay in place for the for see the future. peter, by the member of the german boone, the stock. thank you very much for your insights. any time. now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. businesses in washington dc appeared to be pricing for possible election unrest, government offices and shops near the white house have voted up the windows and
12:16 pm
installed additional barricades elsewhere across the country. a security has been stepped up the wrong vote counting centers the whole since the delta has a ruled in favor of you little must a $1000000.00 giveaways which encourage voter registration. and this wing states a judge rejected, prosecute us, attend, to shut down the building as daily lottery scheme. moscow's use is considerable wealth to some pain in support of the work as a us across a manufacturer. a boeing agreed to end, the 7 weeks strikes. union members accepted this 38 percent pay rise, offer such a low up, then they had demanded boeing as well, and it may take weeks to restore production. and that it's still planning to assess 10 percent of it's what as
12:17 pm
a bore in ukraine rages on an increasing number of russian deserts as rich europe. disillusioned with proteins, more of aggression or just terrified of getting killed, making their way from places including cars. it's done to the you, but once here they feel far from sites they know the cremeans as long and many fit for the families back in russia. the w is natalia as well, and should i met some of them in phones anyway? sure. the 1st thing i felt was freedom is when i arrived here, i could find lint free of the window. alexander is beginning and you live in france . he arrived here after fling russian army. it was one of the card is decisions of his life. you know there's plush layers for that. i consider betrayal. but in this case i think it's the only right choice. it's about the loan. a deal is just and i don't blame the criminal case will be opened against the will. your house will be searched your mother question. you are unlikely to come back to russia in the near
12:18 pm
future. and, you know, but it's much better than being killed or to kill. will be watching. would you meet them? alexander was liaison officer in the russian army. and was not directly involved in combat. these illusions with the army, he tried to quit several times in 2021. he was deployed for one final, you know, to exercise in february 2022. hey, what's the year or a 4th? we arrived in crime year for military exercises and on the 24th russia and they did you crane. and my brigade, including me, took part in this invasion of a, a half a year later, she managed to leave the front line and sleep without a passport. she went to cause us down with you. so why do we not alongside him down where we are currently at the bullying there last it was very scary and just if you run away and realize that your future is uncertain and that they will search for you the whole place. now that i didn't think twice about following him,
12:19 pm
he went down to the some of those in your below. go look, i couldn't leave him alone. you know, the same with in your style that you will choose the beginning of freshest, full scale invasion more than 3 solid and soldiers have left its army according to a group called go by the force which helps dues, or just leave the country. many like alexander electro, cause i've done there and they lived in fear of deportation and persecution, but determined to come to russia's war in ukraine. alexander and several other disorders started to project firewall to arms, encouraging their fellow soldiers to refused to fight, seeking asylum beyond the cause of done the efforts in promoting peace, help convinced officials and friends to allow 6 the searchers and their partners into the country. at least, unprecedented move, followed a year of hard work by several human rights groups. each case was checked about x of us like olga way and more than we can guarantee 1st of all, to ourselves and to the european authorities that these people did not kill. or if
12:20 pm
it was a good thing, we are sure that this really weakens the russian army. and our goal is, in fact, that a more and more people in russia lay down their arms. leave the army, but i see no way of ukraine for $2.00. i don't know if we could all ok in here in safety. alexander and the rena blend to advocate for others who are still hiding. a couple of just a drop in the ocean is and i hope that this president will open doors for other disorders. they didn't, they didn't give me their data for now they are getting used to being able to sleep at night. and they're starting to make plans for the future. stop. i have a dream to travel through friends for that, but maybe even go overseas sometime in the sure, but that's still far away anymore. and we are now joined by the w is natalia lance of o file. this report. and that's how you know, very briefly why people like alexander desert as well. everyone has their own
12:21 pm
reasons for deserving the army. some like him were found themselves in dissertation . they did not sign up for, they did not want to, you know, invades f one country. alexandra infect says, but if somebody would invade russia, i would stand and defend my country. but i'm not part of this war. and people i've talked to mostly save this, but of course they also people who just went to the war because it's, it's very attractive to, to get lots of money. you can do, you can earn, you know, more than the normal paycheck and russia and then they, uh, in the result they are there and what they see on the ground is very different from what they mentioned and then the fleet, but no much why they end up in the war as human rights defense to say with each desert or is a good story because and we have to have to help them because less people on the phone find less people killed by them. now this isn't the 1st time a man who deserted from a route from the russian army apply for protection in europe. is it?
12:22 pm
yes, that's true. they have been cases um and i must have been reporting on them. but it's the 1st time that's the 6 desert us. together with their partners have been grunting rented a total can of to travel to france because they don't have passports and have to understand a majority of freshmen 70 percent will not have a foreign passport. the travel abroad and people who serve in the army, they mostly have their passports withheld, but they come under. so for them it's really, really hard to get out of the country. they are now hiding and just cut off time or media most of the time. and it's actually not safe for them. they're, it's difficult to get some colors down to europe. is it? yeah, it would don't have a direct way. and also just flying without a passport without trouble documents. it's hard and also a forward use in those countries. sometimes they corporate with russian authorities, and we have already seen the cases of people being sent back to russia and now serving a sentence for an invitation. now, these are thing how dangerous is this for the diseases and their families,
12:23 pm
and also the families by, as in russia, 12 is already from the fort front line, as alexander actual told me is practically impossible because it can either be shot or being sentenced directly. so they're waiting until they're some back to russia and then find a way to cross the border with, cause i sound or media, or maybe somewhere else where they will be heading into in english. and this is extremely dangerous because if they get caught, they will be trial and they will be sentenced to up to 15 years behind bars, which about their family. their families are being pressured as well. most of them also bro, contact with their families because families, sometimes they support the aggression in ukraine. they don't understand. and in russia still this does, their thing is seen or something really bad or something we need not to be proud of . and even when here in, in europe, alexandra results afraid of us why he didn't not give his last name or his whereabouts and auditors are interest. in fact, in france, they refused to talk to the media for the, for you all for persecution. also here,
12:24 pm
very briefly, how are they received here? well, um, again, a defense case by case, but alex 100 told me, did you not encounter any and you didn't get to read it over? she's case, but of course they're concerned that's among those people who escape to you and what, what are, what are they beg while they're mildred, man, and then of the day? so human rights defenders are checking each case to actually prove what these people are, not only resorting to ours, but also our or from on 2 or follow us with our and checking the integrity to continue to their story. and the are, as we seen the reports, pretty sure that these man who'd been granted i saw him in fonts r. c is natalia, as well as the about thank you very much for your reporting. and another 202 and a half 1000 soldiers have arrived in valencia to help locate bodies, unclear debris. there. now around $17000.00 soldiers,
12:25 pm
police and firefighters in the region. and the race against the clock emergency work is a searching shopping centers. rogers and on the ground top pots almost like victims . they also says river months that colleagues may have deposited more buttons, 217 people on known to have died in the floods. but that number is expected to rise with many people still on the complex. and earlier we us the w. postpone has gotten flipped shows, who has just returned from valencia. why so many people were killed in the funds, despite advance warnings from full cost as well for 1st of all, because it has probably been the worst flooding in europe in the past 5 decades. but also because the crisis management's here in spend has been catastrophic. that is really no other way to describe goods. the regional government only send out in regards to the people. after many thousands had already been stripped and that
12:26 pm
cars are outside on the streets. and since then, the crisis management has been disastrous as well. and the specialized soldiers that are trained for these disasters only arrived in the region. at least a big part of these soldiers only arrived in the region 5 days after the floods hit . so catastrophic crisis management and valencia and the area around such holds the reporting. you're watching dw, and use it as a reminder of all the top story of this election day has gone to the united states. folding stations have opened to the number of states, including the your final opinion. polls show the race between rock hopeless, dental confidence, republican donald trump, and the font color harris is connected now. and that's it. you're up to date to stay with us up. next. migraines joins paint and depression. uh,
