-- with hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while she was secretary of eight. this is an election that is negative in the sense that voters are deciding between which candidate they want the least. both of them are not popular and whoever makes it to the white house will be one of the most unpopular presidents when they do enter the doors of the oval office. there have been so many allegations against donald trump and so few of them had stuck, to make this such a close race. with few days to go, there could be more surprises. could make an impact at the polls, but most of them probably will not. senateorget there are and house elections taking place at the same time. what is at stake in those races? >> there is a lot at stake. basically whoever gets into the white house, the makeup of congress will define how much

they will be able to do. right now the house of representatives and the senate are controlled by republicans. that is why president barack obama cannot get anything through congress. chance theyall might get their hands on the house of representatives. that is very unlikely indeed. so the big battle out for some of the key races in the senate, where democrats could get a seat away from republicans. along with the big presidential election campaigns, there are so many other campaigns happening right now. one example of one i visited recently in pennsylvania for a senate seat, democrats have already spent $61 million on one race alone for a senate seat and republicans for the same seat have spent a similar amount. there is a lot at stake in this election. we will not just be looking at

who is in the white house, we will look at what kind of makeup congress will have for the next two years. much foryou so bringing us the latest there from washington dc. let's move on to the other top troops have entered mosul for the first time. the iraq he army say they are now in control of a building in the east of mosul, just a few hundred meters from the central district. they are facing fierce resistance from the i.s. group, as mark thompson reports. littered road to mosul with burnt out the -- vehicles and charred buildings. a result of the ongoing, two long offensive on the city by iraqi special horses, kurdish
