america away from.

over the. one hundred. top stories for you. so in less than six hours america goes to the polls for what being billed as critical midterm elections with the country divided over the trumpet ministration and the democrats desperate to wrest back control of congress

from the republicans campaigning is fear and it's. you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. what. we left wing mob and that's what the democrats in. two words are going to define tonight in the two thousand and eighteen election one which kavanagh and the other is caravan supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh witches that are placing a hat on brett kavanaugh caravan invasion or about the caribbean caravan. in a series of suspicious packages sent across the country mail by mail bombs fire alarm

here will keep you posted on. the. midterm elections in the u.s. are held every four years hoff way through the presidential americans choose a long list of officials including all four hundred. thirty five members of the house of representatives thirty five seats in the senate thirty six state governors this time around it's all about one man who's not even on the ballot as caleb maupin reports usually the midterm elections in the united states are about as

exciting as watching the grass grow low public interest in a low voter turnout and the ads have a very amateurish quality to them. for the agenda a message and. then mr trump said you're right. that part. so why is the biennial snooze fest suddenly turned into a political extravaganza well it's apparently about one man i'm not on the ticket but i am on the ticket because this is also a referendum about me so let's go over what's at stake. the big one is impeachment if the pollsters are to be believed the democrats could regain control of the u.s. house of representatives with a majority they could then gain the ability to bring formal charges against the president. impeachment has been on the minds of some democrats that he is

impeachable the democrats want to retake control of the house so they could move to impeach the president telling me it impeachment. trump should be impeached i would vote yes you would have to take a vote i would vote. now the democrats could get the ball rolling with the u.s. house but whether or not they'd be successful is a different story let's remember no president in all of us history has ever been removed through the impeachment process richard nixon came close but he actually resigned before the senate could put him on trial but impeachment fears aside a blue wave could put the brakes on the presidency. so trumps policies that's what's really at stake here if the democrats regain control of the house they could block and delay the donald's plans he can kiss that big beautiful powerful wall goodbye plus if the house goes democrat but the

senate remains republican we're going to have some good old fashioned washington gridlock two words for you government shutdown. in the case of a democratic surge we can expect an onslaught of investigations into the trumpet ministration with the house majority the democrats could subpoena witnesses and get their hands on key documents this means that all things from business transactions to furniture purchases and sexual assault allegations all of that could come under scrutiny so we are going to have oversight committee hearings on their presence use of the cell phones the democrats take over that he's going to be subpoenaed to investigate we want to see the truth now results are hard to predict but one pattern from the post twenty sixteen world seems to be playing out pretty well at the polls americans get to choose between chaos and morning. chaos. r.t.

washington d.c. some u.s. officials have been raising the alarm over a possible foreign interference in the midterm elections the trump ministration has accused china russia and iran of meddling in the vote. takes a closer look at these allegations. i want to make sure everyone's been warned i'm going to switch off and the maddening madness. just won't turn off there's no way to turn this off even the idea is madness and if it wasn't for the for the twenty thousand vote journalists would have this doubt on some big breaking news breaking news tonight what appears to be the first identified case of russian election interference in the midterms quote the russian intelligence agency targeted senator claire mccaskill as she began her twenty thousand reelection campaign in earnest plenty of air time would have to be filled

with other top stories russia is added again interfering in the two thousand and eight till the midterm elections been told of congress mistakes do we know what they are doing what is russia's goal you can just create a whole new army try to sell any kind of mayhem or discord they can just openly and publicly shames these election to always and spread false information here in the us if it wasn't for the meddling madness comedians would have had to work on finding inspiration do you think the russians will meddle in the two thousand and eight elections as offer was made and we've accepted. their russian so they were all messed up inside one b. . if it wasn't for the meddling madness politicians wouldn't have had the chance to prove they got the guts to stand up to like the senator from missouri whose reelection attempts apparently made her

a target for russian scheming. i will not be intimidated i've said it before and will say to get pretty. broad go bob of someone who is no longer bothered by putin now that he's out of the game or is he what. so the republican party its central organizing principle was the fight against communism and now they're closing up to the former head of the k.g.b. if it wasn't for the meddling not the election wouldn't have hit america for an extra few hundred million dollars see what are you talking about who cares if the folks busy with the meddling probe said none of it really affected the actual result we can certify. those won't who were affected with the tallies are accurate. anyway sure we could. go through that dairy some of the point is people say that slap around the face of america was

almost as bad as nine eleven we have been attacked by a foreign power and have done nothing i mean would be like after nine eleven george w. bush said well we will rebuild new york from the pentagon but we're not going to worry about it well at a certain point that's what this is turning into if we're going to talk about the real meddling issues this year the real trouble is totally off your radar regrettably we've found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election against my administration what the russians are doing pales in comparison to what china is doing across this country although you do know words and proof are not the same thing come on we haven't even heard exactly what the chinese meddling masters have been up to but that didn't stop some republicans

from doubling down on their china bashing campaign run china study history and they started a long time ago that systematically abused and weaponized the free trade system really. just for your information mr hawley's running for the same senate seat. as someone i've already told you about. what was it won't be intimidated by that thug. so if you still don't get it the twenty king midterms is actually just a rush vs china showdown and the meddling in this league season. activists from the anonymous group of taken to the streets of london lashing out at the political establishment for the so-called million mosque march proceeded without incident with a heavy police presence on the streets a tradition having its roots in the seventeenth century british history guy fawkes night is often seen as an opportunity to find time for

a politician's on the london was far from the only place in the u.k. where people did exactly that and it can still no deal brecht's the revolution the town of louis took a swipe at a reason may and boris johnson by parading mock effigies while in london we mentioned anonymous the birth pains of a full salty's isa ali reports. that everybody. would be hard to. make such a stunt should the states know. there are still people on the streets that are suffering. for people looking to. move here coming down to make you know way too cold to see the number of flags being flowed. kind aside unfolded for justice it was but i don't see the yemeni see the yemeni flags right down so we have tried to hold tension so you think governments need support from

saudi arabia if you haven't enough seen them for giving i said i want to know who people with different different kind of the different sides like sixty's one thing when a lot of. the many people who were the fighting force. one protests here many people basically. this is some russian idea only getting one hundred fifty with the government. remaining i don't remember it. was ninety nine i don't even trying to duck under that i didn't write the stuff the reason that it will need a right. the u.n. reports that the conflict in yemen escalated significantly just over this weekend of fourteen million people are facing a pre famine conditions and what follows is a tragic story of one little girl who was caught up in the war.

why i'm a mouse mother our situation is getting worse and we're suffering from malnutrition and passed away from malnutrition after twenty days in hospital one of my neighbors call to say that one of my children was sick i dragged my daughter and one home after two days she died of malnutrition and her brother is also l. before she died and left her brothers at home and then with her to hospital but she died on the way her father went to borrow money for her burial my cetacean is better my hope has gone after him out on it.

despite the fact that she was sick i loved her more than her brothers whatever she needed i did my best to bring that to her but i had no money to send her to or santa in apps finally i brought her to hospital after disease had taken. out a has mother according to her mother she was about to bring her daughter back to the center for her children at home was sick she took her for treatment but she died on the way the situation is very distressing and they did not have enough funds to treat her otherwise they would have treated her somewhere else and not pull her back to the health center we have into apps each person has to manage by themselves and this is one of the tragedies of the question and one. the tragedies caused by the war which is why us and day by day children of food. so far

ten children suffering from severe malnutrition have died dozens of children are suffering from diseases and medical complications and they have no funds for treatment or someone to take them to another place of treatment. over fifty thousand people have been killed in the yemen war since twenty sixteen saudi led strikes are the main cause of civilian casualties however cholera polio are also putting the lives of millions at risk by two thirds of the country is in dire need of humanitarian aid. but u.k. charity oxfam has expressed that saudi air strikes which i've repeatedly hit british aid projects in yemen one oxfam representative bronze britain's approach to yemen quote incoherent adding that the humanitarian crisis there continues to

worsen with medical facilities and water supplies all being bombed. last wednesday we had. more than twenty people killed in an airstrike. and we have fifteen people killed last month even our own interventions in places for example in some of that in the area called the families out so we will be providing the supported water system that has actually been bombed by a strike this is what we approached was bombed out of the way yes. the cases raised by oxfam are among the most devastating for yemeni civilians in recent months a july strike on a water facility has left up to twenty five thousand people still without access to any clean water in september food supplies to parts of the country were disrupted after a key motorway was blown up in october

a fruit and vegetable market near hard data was bob doctors without borders meanwhile has also reported that saudi led strikes if its medical facilities are in yemen it says that five centers have been targeted since twenty fifteen resulting in multiple deaths of patients and staff and in june the group's cholera treatment center in northern yemen was hit by an air strike but the british government is coming under increasing pressure to stop weapons sales to riyadh do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of international law in complete mistakes and made the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb i'm surprised there for those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians is going no no if these are all there is they seem to be a lot of i do not agree that if the united kingdom was simply too and deny its

support for the party which is under threat and so engaged in support of allegiance and it doesn't i mean if we. go to. saudi arabia defends its actions in yemen then claims that only targets the rebels not civilians. is representative in the region however told us that the u.k. government is complicit in the suffering being inflicted on the people of yemen. we believe the e.u. can go no illegal party to this conflict and they actually got more involved in the conflict back in may of the twenty eight team when you're actually operational on the border areas of saudi arabia it's the same war and i do think that the advice they give in house seats shown any changes happen to me every few days we're hearing is the horrific attack wesley is a kill whether it's a school for farming or the other reason was fighting recently and that may or

pumping station is a joke since he was bombed and taylor which left eight thousand people without water so that pattern is continuing and absent you could get one thing people into that part of it every few days we go attacks and if we can days that you can government looking to excuse the saudis i mean the policy is in here it's wrong we can't have it which is going to make quite even more excuses why is excellent giving them dossiers information we never hear anything then so we need then to stop the weapons now stop the sales of weapons now and then most importantly commit to a cease fire pressed for a cease fire in the u.n. security council and nothing less than that will actually do to save the people of yemen. however britain's foreign secretary jeremy hunt has said that he would push for fresh efforts to end the yemen conflict at the u.n. security council meanwhile donald trump has commented on the u.s. supplied bomb that killed forty children on a yemeni school bus in august he said that u.s.

arms are not to blame but rather saudi misuse of. it wasn't operated by us people there's a big difference we don't do that our people are the best operators in the world that was basically people who didn't know how to use the weapon which is horrible i think it is by in-car and he said ok we are going to revise our policies in yemen but what does he mean by that is he going to stop arming so since the gun unit can prevent the size it is so this is the big question now if we are talking about peace i believe this is just up loike because now the tramp is busy with his sanctions against iran so maybe he would like to quote him the war and you're meant to put it in three only here on i don't believe this is actually will take any action for years and the continual from air sea

from ground to targeting yemen is markets schools of hospitals so it seems he is buying time and he's trying to say because of the international criticism he's trying to say i'm going to revise my policy is i don't believe him at all he is interested more in arm deals he said i have a one hundred ten billion dollar. deal to saudi arabia where are going ahead with it despite the brutal murder of. the south the journalist who was actually brutally killed. in the stumble. the mail of london. says it could take a generation to tackle the violent crime epidemic gripping the british capital according to the metropolitan police there have been one hundred and eighteen homicides in the city since the start of the year when a boy picks up

a story. it's being called an epidemic and the british capital is bearing the brunt four men have been stabbed to death in the british capital in the space of just five days the youngest to die was only fifteen years old and that brings the total number of murders in london to one hundred eighteen since the start of the year. crime knife crime knife crime epidemic an average of three killings a week londoners don't feel safe to quell public concerns about the rate of violent crime london's metropolitan police have deployed five hundred extra officers on street patrols one senior police officer has said that children as young as nine and ten are now carrying knives and compared the situation to the wild west with attacks taking place in broad daylight in front of pass' by c.c.t.v. cameras but the reasons behind this violent crime are now the subject of fierce

national debate police federation's blame cuts to police funding there are around twenty thousand fewer police officers now than there were eight years ago while the rate of violent crime has shot up the reason that it's all exploded out of control on the streets of the you can especially in the streets of london is very simple and straightforward for the last eight years the government has cut the numbers of police officers by cutting twenty five to thirty percent of the budget for the police service the home office his own leaked documents suggest that there is a link between cuts to police budgets and serious violent crime london's mayor says that it's a deadly combination we have fewer officers than any time since two thousand and three at a time when the population is going up it's more and more difficult and yet a government minister has denied the link between cuts and crime pointing to other

factors instead like social me. the claim about police numbers does isn't supported by the evidence or for previous spikes in serious violence the late show of crime is changing the gangs or using social media to communicate they're using mobile communications in a way that ten years ago even five years ago simply was not possible drill music which is a u.k. style of rap has also been blamed for the spike in the stabbing has been able to finish change. in a series of hits through the streets during the london police chief has cited trail as a reason behind the growth in attacks glamorize violence. talk about targeted attacks on other individuals inevitably that leads to a rise in tension while over the summer the mary of london warn that the heat out of the school holidays could contribute to the violence as well the last few

decades of shown that in july and august is what these some young people bored stoned on the street corner getting involved into antisocial behavior and criminality back in twenty fifteen an award winning a senior police officer warned terry's in may he was home secretary at the time that cutting funds for the police would risk national security we run the risk of watching communities down for two officers at risk. and ultimately risky to national security so up until now the government's managed to deny that slashing police budgets would put public safety at risk but as the death toll mounts and public concern increases arguing that there's no link between budget cuts and violent crime it's going to be more difficult and absolutely no idea why a story so my who is home secretary for most of the last eight years before she

became prime minister i have no idea at all washee didn't listen to the warnings the governments did know and there's a link between the rises in crime the levels of violent crime on our streets and the number of police officers for the very simple reason that they know that if there is a link established they will be held responsible they are responsible the whole thing is a total shambles and it will take at least ten years if not longer to sort it back out if we started tomorrow and they've given no indication of starting tomorrow. or one recently announced a gender balance to cabinet with women constituting fifty percent of it that's not reflected elsewhere in society though with only thirty six percent of all rwanda university graduates being female r.t. documentaries the latest film to be inside twenty four hours a day elves interviews you and for now a quick preview. i
