6:02 pm
incendiary device. the government spokesman for the package had attracted attention because of what he called "oddities." >> the investigation showed that the contents of the package could at least have injured people. it was rendered harmless by agents of the security services. we are happy that no staff, police officers, or anyone at all were harmed by it. >> a career service hand deliver the package to the mail room. it is located in a different -- a different building, several meters away. as a result, the chancellery itself did not have to be evacuated. angela merkle has been well returned to berlin. >> police in the greek capital offense have decimated two suspicious packages at the airport. local news reports indicate packages were addressed to the european court of justice. tuesday was the second day in a
6:03 pm
row that parcel bombs were discovered in athens. the german embassy was another target, but the device was destroyed along with others destined for the embassies of russia, chile, and bulgaria. greek police suspect left-wing extremists are behind the bombings. to iraq now, where more than 70 people have been killed and 200 wounded in a series of explosions in baghdad. at least 13 explosions rocked the city tuesday evening, totaling cafes, restaurants, and targets in mainly shi'ite areas. this comes two days after islamic militants were massed in a cathedral. 53 people were killed in that incident. americans are casting their ballots in the midterm congressional elections at this hour. with good weather across much of the nation expecting to help the voter turnout. republicans are high in opinion polls, buoyed by discontent over
6:04 pm
unemployment and bank bailouts. the have also gained from the backing of the conservative teat party movement. president barack obama and democrats have had an uphill battle motivating their own base to go to the polls. >> the president is not running this year, but by choosing new congressional representatives in several states, boaters will be sending him a message about the job he has been doing. many are disappointed. >> i think the rhetoric around this election has been awful. and no one is focused on the issues, and we need to focus on the issues. >> what is really important is that we have to have some kind of structural reform. >> look at the economy and what is going on in the world. people are looking for a change. >> president obama has tried in the last few days to rally support for the democrats, saying his administration has achieved much despite the
6:05 pm
economic crisis. >> the republicans and drove us into a ditch. >> high unemployment and a massive deficit have people frustrated. that evidently has helped sarah palin and the tea party movement. >> the truth is with obama, policy, and -- pelosi and reed at the wheel, we are getting closer and closer to a cliff. >> the administration's economic policies have put the republicans on an upswing. it looks like there will get a majority in the house of representatives and it will be a close race in the senate's. >> will those gains mean an end to obama ability to push through legislative agendas? that is a question i put to our washington correspondent. >> i do not think we will see a complete shift in power, and we will not seek repeal of all the reforms that we have seen in the
6:06 pm
last two years, for example health care reform. obama can still veto everything that comes from the republicans. i think there is a chance that the democrats will still control the senate. we have two scenarios possible. the first is that the moderate republicans will be stronger than the more conservative republicans. then we will see an end of partisanship, and i think the democrats and republicans can come together and find solutions to fix the problems of this country. the second scenario would be that the more conservative republicans will be stronger than the moderate republicans. then we will see an ongoing election campaign for the next two years, because the more conservative republicans want really to have their man in the white house. >> stay with that theme. how has the rise of the tea
6:07 pm
party affected the national political debate, and has the country shifted sharply to the right? >> i want to read the crystal ball. i think the tea party will become less important after the election. it is a grassroots movement. it is a movement that we have seen so often in the history of america, the anti-establishment movement. but they do not have a strong leadership. there is sarah pslin and i think it will become less important after the election today and tomorrow. >> thank you very much. we will have more on the midterm elections coming up. first, to business. the german auto industry -- a couple of clouds out there. >> german cars selling well abroad, but the domestic market remains sluggish. germany's auto association has forecast that 2010 new car sales

6:09 pm

6:10 pm
profits of $1.30 -- 1.3 billion euros. investors have renewed trust in the company. bp shares lost half their value in the aftermath of the disaster on april 20. the share price has since stabilized, but it is still not clear when the company will make a full recovery. bp and its critics have differing opinions on the success of the cleanup. the oil giant says most of the crude has been removed. environmentalists say three- quarters of it is still in the water. they say dispersants have caused the oil to sink further, affecting deeper ocean layers. >> onto tuesday's market action. european shares rose to six months closing highs, with bp gaining after profits beat forecasts. our correspondent sent us the summary of the day's trading action at the frankfurt stock exchange.

the start, in fact and in law. the prosecution is furious and the evidence were fact. >> he is accused of stealing more than 200 million tons of oil from his own company. international observers think the second indictment is a response to his political ambitions. >> this trial is based on such an obviously absurd foundation. if it ends with a conviction of the accused, that means there is no reliable legal protection in russia. >> the court will announce its ruling in mid december. if found guilty, mikhail khodorkovsky could face another seven years in prison. >> he tried to launch an attack on the politics of vladimir putin. few people in moscow believe the judge is immune to political pressure. this is a test of president
