a building on fifty seventh street that had broken and it was dangling above the building clearly a very dangerous sign as you mentioned the trains have stopped running the buses have stopped running the new york stock exchange has closed the end through tuesday this is the first. time high that the new york stock exchange has been shut down a schedule shutdown since september two thousand and one schools have also been shut down the tunnels have been closed essential in new york city is on lockdown three hundred seventy five thousand people had been encouraged to evacuate if they were living in zones that are close to the water more than seven evacuation hubs have been opened and so clearly this is a very very serious weather circumstance but it has not gotten to its full potential yet according to meteorologists who wins and heavy rain it will soon be hitting new york city in the coming hours and not so when experts say it will

become most dangerous for new york city the fear the fear is that if this water if the surge gets high enough lower manhattan can be completely flooded and that's including homes businesses and transportation system so we hope that doesn't happen by that we're just you know millions of people are sitting and waiting well as you told us we've got live pictures of massive waves building up there on the coast crashing against the shoreline there not tell us how with this chaos effect to the presidential race well of what we do know is that u.s. president barack obama and his opponent mitt romney they both have suspended their campaigning events for my day and tuesday president obama returned to washington d.c. he addressed the nation about the serious weather conditions told americans that this is a very a stream and being a serious storm coming to the east coast and everyone should be taking the

circumstance very seriously now on the gallup poll's what's interesting is that they have announced that they are suspending their daily election holding due to this hurricane hurricane sandy i it's not clear when they will begin whole thing again. andy is likely to affect early voting early voting typically house i democrats but even so it will be affecting early voting along the eastern seaboard and i just flooding and power outages cause significant damage in several six states such as new york new jersey maryland connecticut someone and so forth high we don't know what the turnout will be like next week on election day in virginia north carolina and pennsylvania because millions of people are now greece take her power outages and we don't know what kind of a fact that one had in that in the days to comment let's remember this election day is a week away so we're standing by to see what will happen as the story develops we will

of course keep our viewers up to it if i could maria you know we have to talk to you again in the next hour but just can you give me a brief idea about your geographical position that you feel fairly safe where you are at the moment i spoke to a guest a little earlier from new york he was fairly confident he would be ok but what about you where are you exactly bill i'm i'm i'm lucky because i'm in the middle of manhattan i'm on park avenue right in the belly of manhattan so i feel fairly safe the winds are picking up and they're going to get up to ninety miles per hour i was a big concern before because they're scaffolding in this material that's flying all over the streets now in the area as i mentioned before it that are closer to the waters on the on the east side in the west side of manhattan and let's talk about the universe to brooklyn queens it's more dangerous there is this there's neighborhoods that have already been flooded right now for the time being i'm i'm pretty safe but for those that are living in lower manhattan those are living on the sides closer to the water and it is a serious and dangerous circumstance right now and if you were asked to evacuate

though what would you all position be obviously many people have evacuated you're saying those who are close to the water line but what would your position be if you did have to evacuate no. right now at this moment i probably stay in the meantime but if you got too dangerous. i wanted that week because you have to remember not a bad way and then we got in a condition where you have to call nine one wind and force people to come toward a zone that you were told to evacuate could be pretty selfish so if people to choose not to evacuate that's their decision but it's a decision that everybody is making and i know a lot of people my own grandparents who live in brooklyn they're not about you mean they were told to evacuate they're not going to you know so and many others ha so every it's a case by case basis thank you very much of the keep safe to talk a little bit later artie's marina porton are there in new york. well look throughout the presidential race in the u.s. has been looking at it from different perspectives including that of the occupy movement and the campaign has become the most expensive in the country's history

with major corporations pouring billions into both camps and some occupy activists believe it's wall street which will ultimately win regardless of who's elected independent journalist martin i spoke to him a little he believes this will keep the movement growing even when the election is over. the presidential election the united states really sucks all of the oxygen out of the room there is essentially no political work that can be done during an election i would say that the many different organizing projects that different you know. there's an instrumental motivators in occupy have taken on in this period where without you know. actually argue quite well for the future of the movement i think there's a moment of political maturation happening among occupiers and i think that. you know occupy wall she was really useful in that it introduced everybody to each other and gave everyone a common vocabulary and a common conceptual framework for understanding the problems and that now people are organizing in solidarity with one another in a in

a really promising way but essentially the story of american politics is that it is completely incapable of reforming it is intransigent it is in the death grip of a system of corporate acquisition and accumulation that it simply cannot get out of . and coverage of the u.s. presidential campaign will continue on air and online all the way up to the vote plus the final round of the third party candidates debate to hear about their take on the issues. the front runners that's coming to you live exclusively all naughty in a week from. governor romney we both agree we agree we have to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's come back to something the president i agree on and there to be you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps you wonder who to vote for when romney and obama agree on so many things remember you do have other options come november sixth tuned in to see the

second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on r.g.p. . russia's foreign minister says international powers should put more pressure on the warring sides in syria after the latest truce was wrecked off the meeting the international envoy to syria here in moscow sergey lavrov urged western states and regional players to engage with president sat on the going to use you know has been following the talks in the russian capital. even though it was supposed to last just four days the ceasefire in syria didn't work and now the question on everybody's lips is what happens next and both russia's foreign minister lavrov and special envoy brahimi are placing their bets on this an even communique which was signed by wall power seven obliges both sides of the conflict in syria to simultaneously put their weapons down and also for equal pressure to be applied on both of them from the outside but according to russia's foreign minister far from all countries which signed this agreement back in geneva are playing by

the rules that i see in the in their lead so you'd used russia is probably the only country along those that took part in the geneva talks on the thirtieth of june which negotiates regularly with all sides in the syrian conflict the government and all opposition groups with no exceptions we expect our western partners and partners in the region to do the same they should get used to the idea that without dialogue with the syrian government virtually nothing can be achieved and this is currently a major problem in moving towards a political process in syria internal special envoy brahimi said he is sorry that the ceasefire plan didn't work it was negotiated to take place during the course of the feast of sacrifice was supposed to end today but was in fact broken right on the first day with a deadly blast in damascus then violence continued in different parts of the country throughout the weekend and was told by another deadly explosion in damascus on monday and russia's foreign minister labral says that with these provocations

taking place the syrian government is also making disproportionate responses so mr brahimi is facing a very tough task finding some sort of a diplomatic solution and more importantly making it work he himself says that you know level of distrust between the two sides of the conflict in syria is so high right now it won't even when they begin discussing some sort of obligations each one expects automatically the other one to break its promises. there have been more cases of violence in syria on the last day of the ceasefire another car bombs ripped through southern damascus while government warplanes have carried out heavy bombardment of the capital suburbs earlier i spoke to dr ali mohamed from the media blog that syria tribune and he believes western powers shouldn't ignore president assad when talking about peace in the country. first of all the present and the present some of syrians and he's obviously a powerful person and he enjoys a lot of support from the people most importantly from the all meucci is an

important player in the story of all the players should not dictate the outcome of the struggle before even the negotiations start and so it only makes sense that they should talk to people on the ground and one of the most important ones as president has said about the issue of the extremist groups now playing a role in what's happening in syria the international envoy locked up looking me knowledge today that they're all extremist groups there and seemingly not controlled by anybody is peace in syria told achievable when you've got a situation we need to look at this in the light of who is sending money and weapons to these extremist groups if turkey manages to close the borders most importantly and if the countries that are leaving money and say look at these two extremes to a bad state we can see peace in syria but as long as there are extremists who are full of hungry people sending them money and weapons then we should expect peace to be far far. there's more pain ahead the heart of grief
