the, the, this is data over here is live from the election day in the us is under way americans choosing between the presidential candidates coming to harris. and donald trump. this trump is voted in florida, is he thinks the return to the wife has 4 years after being a voted out tens of millions of housing in battleground states. that could decide whether he returns or vice president parish becomes the 1st woman to win the race for the wise. absolutely, most important election of my lifetime. you know, donald trump, obviously the portion right does, i'm really the main issue i was going to be grabbing this over and i actually did

go for trump. i voted for our commer harris. i think she's the right choice to continue our democracy. the, i'm for ok, welcome to the program. the united states is voting for a new president, folding station to open in all 50 states, and wants full cost of being $1.00 of the tightest presidential contest, ever. arranging tens of a kind of democratic vice president cumberland harris republic consult with present . donald trump, jo, very concerts, i have, you know, we went in with a very big late today. and it looks like the republicans have shown up in source. so let's see how it turns out, but it seems that they're really showing up in force. but if i need a comp,

i went into opposing day with a big lead. suggest mr. trump, a claim, all polls show this race to be neck and neck uh, corresponded benjamin alvarez group. it was in palm beach, florida. close to add the whole trump voted. you told me more about what the former president sat right behind me. you can see the spot with donald trump's motor to the left, where he greeted a couple of 1000 supporters who came here down to palm beach. you just heard him that he sounded really confident, of course, type security and this also for international views. you could not see him entering or excepting the ca. that's one of the several security measures building here around sniper team securing the vote in location is we had in the founding really confident and also something that he and his companion have repeated over and over, hoping to get a result. today. he said that there is a lot of energy that he came back pretty late to his mar, allowed to mention it here in a close to west point close to this voting location and,

and then came out also it to greet some of the volunteers that came to the several voting locations here. so some support is guided here in front of these plays, of course helicopters around and of course the energy here, but also tension looking for the next a couple of hours. and he's not like millions of people here in the state of florida. wanted to vote on the same day. we've seen those numbers of millions of people in the state of florida that already costed the vote. i benjamin alvarado. his group of that in florida and mounted to washington bureau chief in his polls is in front of life as a welcome. it is. this is probably a bit of a pause before will be the prop of madness. begins a chance to reflect what it stood out for you, and it's particularly contagious campaign. that's interesting. did we have any chance to really reflect filled this year was just such a roller coaster? i remember remember very well when you started and i a wide was freezing this

what's, what's been the 1st primaries took place. it was minus 30 degrees celsius. and ever since i have the feeling it went on and on, of course, in the beginning everybody was expecting a race between 2 old men. be about expecting some of the same over and over again. many people we talked to, they talked about that they don't liked either candidates, they were kind of to be even invented a phrase for them. beach unless they called were called double haters. but this of course, has changed the moment joe biden announced that he was, would not run again and ever since time to reflect. that's a good question. but what do you know really stood out for me very early on? i talked about doing a story about trump, to support us to jasmine jordan, the young black student in iowa. and she talked about her story. how lonely she was . as a kid, all alone did, she was when she went to iowa university and that the she then met from suppose is

the model movement. and that, that somebody became a home for her. and that's something which really stood with me over these last months. people voting for trump, supporting his movement. they are also doing that because they feel accepted by him . and that's something we have to keep in mind when we talk tonight about to suppose us as well as it. right? so this, this year has seen you spend a lot of time travelling across the states. i mean, what have you learned about americans, hopes and fears this country is very divided on the one hand when it comes to political issues. but you know, it's also still america, people are still frenchie, when you call break stone, they help you when you're standing out in the heat, they offer you something to drink when you're standing out in the cold. they offer you to come into the homes and offer you a hot tea. politically, it's

a divided country may be more divided. it has ever been before, but we also must not forget that there may be, may be grades, american people out there who just want one thing. they want to country me, which works. they want the job. that was a good education for the children. they went good health care and we must not forget that when we focus on all the hades, all the disarray, all the false information which we of course also have to deal with. but there's still some beauty was in the american people. okay. thank you for that. yeah, let's do that. what is the washington bureau chief and his paulding funds on the white house with barely a percentage point between donald trump and com. la harris in some case states. this selection is for most too close to cool. for both campaigns, the jump has been to plaza cost a victory along a very difficult tactical path. d,

w. 's mother as a child, looks now with some of them as an actual pathway as to the white house or for comma harris. and donald trump, there are only a handful of states that really matter in this race were either candidate can build their path to the presidency, to win the white house. they need 270 electoral college votes. and for campaign strategist on both sides working out their winning combination, starts by mapping out the safe bets and likely wins the states that because of demographics are candidate affiliations. among other things, historically tend to always vote the same way. and that is, most of them. it leaves us with 7 so called swing states, still in play, also known as purple states because they swing between republican red and democratic blue. and it's in these places where this selection will be decided.

those are the states of nevada, arizona, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. and here's the thing. neither candidate needs to take all of them for victory. so what winning combinations could work for them? let's look 1st at donald trump, to reclaim the white house. one of his easiest roots would be to take back the states. he lost to joe biden, by the narrowest of margins in 2020 places like georgia and arizona at that north carolina, which trump one in both 20162020. and he's almost there. it then comes down to just one. when for him and any of these 3 states to get him over the line, all one by trump in 2016, but re taken by bite in in 2020 pennsylvania is arguably his main focus. the place where joe biden captured the presidency in 2020, with his 19 electoral college,

both a when here would promise victory, or it could open up other routes for the former president if he doesn't win and say georgia or north carolina. okay, so what about comma harris? how mike, she build her way to the white house through these 7 battleground states? well, her best path to victory is probably through what are called the blue wall states of wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. capture those and she'd hit exactly 274 the when but say the democrats fell in the big state of pennsylvania. harris might look towards the swing states in the south. although this would be much harder for her, for example, georgia, a state that turned to blue for the 1st time since 1992 in the last election could be instrumental again, potentially offering an alternative path to victory. if harris wins here,

she just need 3 more electoral college votes. and even if arizona in north carolina turn red for trump, harris could take nevada, where the race is even tighter. although by this point, you'll notice the swing states are all tight to claim a narrow victory. so very habit, it's messy and complicated. whatever happens, we are guaranteed a very close race for the white house and with the margins and these crucial swing states to close to call. it could take days before we know who will be the 47th president of the united states of america. hope you're taking those because that will be a test. now walter olson is a senior fellow at the cato institute. so if he's rising on election law, i asked him if the outcome of this election is likely to be decided in court. it was time for dozens of legal challenges file,

but donald trump was lost and the courts sorted suited to those challenges. rop is the way i think accurately and i'll turn something away. i think you expect the same thing to happen. you never know. it could be the standard, as with florida in the year, 2000 will come down to only hundreds of thoughts. and at that point, a lawsuit might decide because the losses might change of a few 100 or 1000 pods. what law states are on like this, do is to change 10000 volts. right. and what will you be looking out for as the result start rolling in our system? it tears complicated and entertaining because each state does things different. i found it as a result, there are steps to attend to. we're trying to get involved early on the event in the democratic push and starts to do just through the 1st 2 step. so i won't be able to sing up because the report fairly quickly. are florida, which means trump and new hampshire,

which leads harris. i just paid for an upcoming so which was expected. victor is them one candidate has a lot to worry about in florida edition is to start with a lot of hispanic borders. and the democrats are hoping that shifts are hispanic. both, both of the last couple of books might put most of the top, not necessarily in florida, insteps like pennsylvania, florida would be able to tell part of the story and a couple of how does this describe, this is one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes. and one of the reasons for that is that when i was in an era in which the supreme court has ruled, the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within that, that give better official duties. given that how, why don't you think we should be at the prospect of a convicted felon becoming president? store is no cost it for many, many foreigners. donald trump is the issue of his thoughts. it is not so much what they think of come, what hers as what they think of donald trump and trumpet has had this thing. fuller

ability work, the more he just prosecuted more his course supporters will support him and go out and work for him. of thought has been his term over the last year or 2, but well it holds up an election which requires him to reach a lot of matters and swing voters who are not necessarily his core supports. and within that, there's a gender gap, isn't there? there's a gender gap in voting and tension between republicans and democrats, which, which seems to be, it seems to be wider than ever. just explain that to us as a or for more or less of our entire lives. we're going to have to pass the message to vote more for the democrats than amended. that is not new, but there's a lot of evidence that this year there may be a wider tendered job. and there are these 2 things to look out for possible explanations. one is search of the supreme court in of changing radically,

america's law on abortion to allow states to banish off has galvanized a lot of what it is opinion on the issue. although women often voted for less cause none the less expressed the issue to want to become across. consider one of their top one or 2 issues. the other thing is there's tons of personnel, and just as a colorado is everything else is one of the attempts to separate them from women. ottoman all identified a little more withdrawn, staying with off being brought to this whole thing. the women are more likely to react against. and one of the trends the democrats are looking to with some hope as an invitation for older women, ultimate particularly disapprove of the trunk personnel. it may have been trying to double the product english weeks. and you mentioned um latino versus a loud. yeah. a poll suggests that mr. trump has been gaining support amongst black

and latino voters who have traditionally a lean democratic. i'm a, what is bringing the to that is there. some people have them sit equally today because there is no talk that over the course of the, of what she says and then compare before. here's a cop. copper smith nature in rose is currently with now for example, he just started the block now and one block one. and so it, so it's widely accepted that will lead them to a better. so with blackboard as with hispanics, different they're, they're very strong trained towards the public inside. but in the last couple of weeks, when trump of participating around it was earlier act was widely seen or something and solve it for the ricoh part of the united states. a top produced an outcry, and it meant that many well known puerto rico or the entertainers of care before normally not political, came out and criticized. now will side or well,

the reverse the trend of hispanic voters. 15 for the republicans. that's going to be one of the big issues to look at. we've also seen donald trump ramping obligations of bosa fluid unsubstantiated navigations, i should say. how damaging do you think this is to the american electrical system? i think it's done quite a bit of damage because all send it to the majority of republicans do not have great confidence, indeed accuracy or honesty or thought calculation. ironically, people do tend to stick to vote counting as honest in their own community, but they suspect that it might be unfortunately the else for the country that's going to take a while to cure. no matter what happens because it's something americans were united on for many, many years. we are more proud of all electrical system. we viewed it as a beacon of democracy in other countries. now americans are split up. thank you for

guiding us through that. so well to olsen from the case of interest you as well the selection day brings to a close one of the most unpredicted unpredictable election campaigns for decades from assassination attempts to joe biden. dropping out of the race. it has been like no other now with the campaign behind us corresponding janelle, them aloud. let's put together a list of 5 things to watch out for. i suppose the cost and the counting begins. here are the 5 things to watch out for on election night. and number one, trump tactics expect donald trump to claim victory at some point during the night. even if he's losing, the former president is almost certain not to concede in such a tight race way to get a pause, but we have to do it too big direct. he's already made repeated warnings about voter fraud, claiming he'll prosecute anyone found cheating if elected says they are good at one

thing. you know, that one thing that goes to that. so they have their professional, steve's some say tons that rhetoric is as way of preemptively questioning, accommodate harris victory if it happens. laying the groundwork for a legal challenge. and lawyers from both campaigns have been gearing up for months, actually years in anticipation, the election results could very possibly get mired and litigation for on that later . number 2, the jill stein effect. now obviously the green party candidate has no path to the presidency, but she is on the ballot and to swing states like pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. and in such a tight race, a tiny votes here we're going to sign, could tilt the balance more likely away from harris and towards trump. check out this attack ad from the democrats. just stein green party candidate for president to wire close allies, helping her dine with keith. it's on 2016. wins in battle. ground he's not

sorry. he helps counsel. in fact, by a vote for stein is really a vote for trump signed stance against us. support of israel, osborne garza has also helped her gain traction among arab americans. this is a very dire situation that will be continued under both democrats and republicans. so we say there is no lesser evil in this race. number 3, abortion rights. the issue is also on the ballot in 10 states. and in most cases, voters are deciding whether to constitutional protections on the state level to abortion. and some of the places involved like arizona and nevada or battleground states. now for his part, donald trump has struggled to find consistent messaging on the issue. well, campbell, a harris has put the fight for restoring reproductive rights at the forefront of her campaign. and i promise as to when i am president of the united states and

congress passes the bill to restore the protections of roe v wade. i will roundly sign it into law, the number for the senate and house, whichever party controls the house and senate will determine how much the newly elected president actually gets done. currently, the democrats have the slimmest of majorities, 51 to 49 in the senate. the upper chamber of the united states congress, while the republicans just about control the lower chamber known as the house. 34 seats are up for grabs in the senate, and the democrats can ill afford to lose any seats, especially since west virginia. senator jo, mansion retiring means for already down one. as for the house. well, that's widely considered a coin toss with both analysts giving the democrats a slight edge all $400.00. 35 seats are up for election with a few dozen races, considered competitive. and finally, number 5, expect to wait for

a winner. each state has its own set of rules governing elections. for instance, the swing state of pennsylvania can't start counting absentee and mailing balance until election day. it's a big state, so that could take a while. suffice to say it is possible, we will not know the election result on the night of november 5 or 6 or 7, and with so much uncertainty that brings us back to the issue of legal challenges and litigation with experts warning that the longer the wait for a winter to be announced. so more opportunity for conspiracy theories to take hold and create doubts over the process. there's lots of reasons to be concerned when so much of the rhetoric and misinformation, and uh, sort of anti democratic campaign talking points are so prevalent and getting repeated so much out of mainstream party candidates. and that's not what you want to see. so there you have it 5 things to watch out for as low as 2020 for

presidential election unfolds, setting you up for the hours and probably long days ahead. i seldom allowed. we'll take a look now at some developments away from the us election. old minus the change during protests against the rising cost of living in nigeria in august have been released on an order from president photo to know. at least $76.00 people taking such a minus, with charge, with treason, and inciting a military to escalate to pots and anti government protest. 22 people were killed during those protests should also have been held in gaza for victims of the late fifty's righty. as strikes palestinian media site based search and people died on monday and tuesday, including women and children. driving military setting was targeting millison to weapon storage facility. hundreds of died in israel to increase the tax on north and gaza of a recent weeks. us and the office of these rarely prime minister says benjamin

netanyahu has fired his defense minister. you off god's prime ministers and force you to have said there are too many gaps between him and let's to get onto the management of israel. the defense minister will be replaced by the current a foreign minister is around the countryside opened itself. okay, let's get more on this from emily go, dean introducing and welcome. emily. i'm what there's too many gaps. a mean slow heels. colanda is actually expected to give a statement as i speak, so we are sure to find out a bit more soon. but what we do know is that the 2 benjamin netanyahu and york alons haven't really seen eyes are for a long time when it comes to issues relating to israel, molten from school and gaza. for example, the lunch has been in favor of ending the will, reaching a series find deal and guessing the 101 hostages back. and it's on yahoo!

it hasn't been again, stop. not please because other members of his condition, government have threatened to blow up his coalition government if he had, if you agree to such a 3 or 5 deal. but some of the bits bags and gloves firing now really comes down to quite a different issue in the us government. so for weeks now, there had been some deep divisions, really over 2 bills. one would essentially have given the ultra orthodox and israel exemption to military service in israel. and the 2nd bill would have essentially allowed them to keep certain subsidies, even though they didn't serve in the military. now the launch was opposed to this and have actually given the approval of this additional $7000.00 draft orders to be sent to members of the ultra orthodox community and his role. now the ultra orthodox policy has in nothing other governments, of course, have been deeply against bob's. i'm the times threatened to leave the competition

government if these 2 bills guaranteeing exemption of the, of middle of a good exemption from the military service and being a guaranteeing them the subsidies if they are those bills of waiting to be top past . so essentially, why did go on why was go on fired? well, it certainly seems right now that it comes down to nothing you all who are trying to keep his colors together to secure the survival of this government's but also his own political survival. so what's the likely reaction to this as well? reactions have been the certainly criticism and we have seen politicians come out saying cooling from us, protest them as well, something that we have been seeing and folding out over the last hours. and so we seeing purchased some televi, but also for the 1st time in months protesting in northern israel. we're also seeing protests in the, in jerusalem. additionally, the european,

he also came out saying that the launch was fired because quotes natania, who favored to the draft villages over those who served he was fired. let's go on as was five's because of nothing and need for political survival. at the time of all, i know of course, what you need to remember though that's last year in march, kalonski was fired once before. and it led to huge protest across his role. which led to nothing y'all having to back track. and this would be interesting to see whether this is also what, what these protests will lead to this time. 6 think about emulate how many godaddy in june. so let me remind you about top stores based the election day in the united states for holding stations now open from new york to california and show the rise between the arrival presidential candidates. donald trump democrat to couple of hours to be negative

on his interest being here and here's maybe 5 minutes of benjamin netanyahu. this finds defense minister you of kalonde sizing, what he called a crisis of trust. just a glance, understand that in yahoo, big fashion for months of the objectives of israel's 13 month income. i sent you up to date. stay with us. i'll be back in just a moment with the day today, i'm looking at just one story of course new instructions and the days and possibly months of contention will fall back in just the

human in the drift of business. he knew this 10 years of misery, destruction, and what role direct play in the parents middle east conflict. we go into journey through a country to close out in 45 minutes on d, w. the

likes to come out when you break up gender and identities. how does our mental health impact i loved lives? how do we approach money within our relationship? so it is $1.00 of the few sources in the 1st thing in listening to content about sexuality and sexual matters. i'm liza model that and i'm going to be exploring all listen more in a new season of my matches available on all platforms, manyels engines. you belong to the 77 percent to come to i don't go down 60, provide us with all those top 5 years, 31115. we're here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much up to you from trouble fixed a new culture. and in 15 minutes,

let's say together talks about community life on the research is now on the top. it was one of the most close that contested us selections in memory coming on. harris could become the 1st woman of color to be elected us president donald trump is trying to make it come back instead of a 2nd time voters in the us. are these having who will leave becomes you for the next full yes. opinion polls indicate no clear from vanessa who is it going to be i'm feel go in the lane and this is the day the .
