america is hours away from heading to the polls. as the u.n.

also reports that the war. the race. in just a couple of hours america goes to the polls for what being billed as a critical election and with the country divided over the administration and the democrats. control of congress from the republicans.

you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for and you. can do is. gone wacko and angry left wing mob and that's what the democrats are. two words i'm going to define one of the two thousand and fifteen elections 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 chair of. a series of suspicious packages sent across the country mail mail bombs fire alarm here will keep you posted on that. believe me.

midterm elections in the u.s. are held every four years huff 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 and thirty six state governess but this time around it's all about one man who's not even on the ballot as 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. 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 you think 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 resign. fine 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 the house then he's going to be subpoenaed to investigated to want to seek 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 more chaos cable mup and r t washington d.c. meantime some u.s. officials have been raising the alarm over a possible foreign interference in the u.s.

but it's the trump image ministration has accused china russia and now even iran of meddling in the vote if a tranquil investigations. i want to make sure everyone's been warned i'm going to switch off the maddening madness. just turned off there's no way he turns off. even the idea is madness and if it wasn't for it before the twenty thousand vote journalists would have missed out on some big breaking news breaking news tonight what appears to be the first identified case of russian election interference in the twenty thousand 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 ten midterm elections and control of congress and stakes do we

know what they are dealing 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 tallies 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 the 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 prove 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 i will say to get on. and to bully parag obama as someone who's no longer bothered by

putin now that he's out of the game or is he what happened to 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 madness the election wouldn't have hit america for an extra few hundred. 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. that no vote who were affected the tallies are accurate they did not in any way shape or form that we've been able to run all through that how dare you some important 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 in the pentagon but we're not going to worry about it well at a certain point that what this is turning into if we are 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 or 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 rounds china started destroying at the start a long time ago that systematically abused and weaponized the free trade system

really. just for your information mr hall these running for the same senate seat as someone i've already told you about who what was it won't be intimidated by that. so if you still don't get it the twenty terms is actually just a rush versus china. showdown in the maddening this league season. the mayor of london of so he says it could take a generation to tackle the violent crime epidemic people are calling it now that continues to grip the british capital according to the metropolitan police there have been one hundred eighteen homicides in the city since the start of the year polly boyko picks up the story. it's being called an epidemic and the british capital is bearing the brunt for 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 rising knife 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 the surgeon 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 u.k. and especially on 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 is leaked documents though 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 media 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 ways 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. that history. the london police chief has cited drill 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 mare of london warned that the heat around the school holidays could contribute to the violence as well the last few decades of shown that in july and august. some young people on the street corner getting involved in social behavior and criminality back in twenty

fifteen an award winning a senior police officer warned to reason may he was home secretary at the time that cutting funds for the police would risk national security we run the risk of watching community. officers at risk. and ultimately risking national security so up until now the government's managed to deny that slashing police budgets would. 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 getting to be more difficult absolutely no idea why theresa may who was 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. activists from the anonymous hacker group of taken to the streets of london lashing out at the political establishment. trying to hurt. the demonstrators marched from trafalgar square took it to swearing in the anonymous movement signature guy fawkes masks israeli english and american flags were burned at the rally but all in all the proceeded without incident with a heavy police presence on the streets the so-called million that mosque march coincided with guy fawkes night a centuries old tradition often seen as an opportunity to vent to anger our politicians. idea only to have

a drink which they were going to be so they should know your environment. was nothing more than i was even trying to jump and it was the start of the rule that you will need a great londoner was far from the only place in the u.k. where people express their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs amid concerns of a no deal revelers in the town of louis for swiper to read. may and boris johnson by parading around mark effigies. are just starting at twelve seventeen pm here on tuesday in moscow your program or tons in just a moment. but

the whole existence to do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. get it right to be close this is like the full three in the morning can't be good. interested always in the waters in the. first six.

times or joining us for the program today the u.n. reports that the conflict in yemen escalated significantly just over the weekend and that has the u.k. oxfam sounds the alarm over the number of saudi led strikes hitting eight sites in the country. last wednesday we had to. 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 in the sardar in the area called the hummus that we where we provide to the supported water system that has actually been bombed by a strike this is what we approached bombed out ok yes over fifty thousand people have been killed in yemen since twenty sixteen saudi led

strikes are the main cause of civilian casualties however cholera and polio are also putting the lives of millions at risk two thirds of the country is in dire need of humanitarian aid. now it was a july strike on a water facility that left up to twenty five thousand people without access to clean water and in september food supplies to parts of the country severely disrupted after a key motorway was ball. now doctors without borders a whole also reporting that saudi strikes have targeted medical facilities in yemen as well in fact it says that five centers have been attacked since twenty fifteen in june the group's cholera treatment center a northern european was just destroyed saudi arabia says it only targets who the fighters and never target civilians meanwhile britain is coming under pressure to stop selling weapons to riyadh do you have

a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law or incomplete mistakes and they 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 we believe that you can go no legal party to this conflict and they actually go one block on the conflict back in may. 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 giving us sigs to show any changes happen to be with you day one here in the horrific in southwest is a killer whether it's a school for farming or the other reason was following recently and it may also on the station since it was bombed which left eight thousand people without water so cutting is continuing and absolutely you could get one thing people into that part of it every few days we go attacks and if we could days that you could go looking

to excuse the saudis in their policy in here it's wrong or out of it which is going to require even more excuses is also giving them dossiers that. we never gave them so we need them to stop the weapons now stop the sales of weapons now and the most important commit to a cease fire press for a cease fire in the u.n. security council and nothing less than that will actually do to save the people. to germany now where the secretary general of angular michael c.d.u. party has reportedly stepped down as she prepares to run for the party's leadership replacing the outgoing merkel the jury is still out as to who will come out on top in this race as there are other major contenders for the post as peter all of our now reports this is often nice when a spectator acted fast fall at the next cd you party convention in december i will not run for the chair of the party secondly this fourth term is the last one for me

i will not run for chance you know during the twenty twenty one election the queen is dead long live well that's the thing we don't exactly know who is going to step into angola merkel shoes as the sun begins to set on her career and front line politics her coalition has taken a pounding in popularity polls of late and those campaigning to try and be the next leader of the christian democratic union a just sling for position so let's have a look at who the front runners are. the c.d.u. is the star it's not about which single person is shining within the city but the party as a whole has to shine. on a greater. abbreviated to just a k.k.k. is the current general secretary of the christian democratic union party and frequently talked about as angela merkel's chosen one a difficult catholic she is culturally conservative opposed to gay marriage and to

abortion however when it comes to migration she's on side with angela merkel's policy saying that they are in step with her religious beliefs she's also on side with angela merkel's policies internationally skeptical when it comes to russia but very keen on e.u. cooperation same old same old big problem a.k.k. could be though the people got sick of the same old same old and that's the very reason that i'm glad merkel's job is up for grabs. spahn is a completely different story however the thirty eight year old health minister seems to hate everything mrs merkel stands for her migration policy is the white elephant in the room according to mr spann he opposes limited dual citizenship for young foreigners criticized attempts to loosen laws on advertising abortions and called for banning the book or in public he is liked by the right wing conservative element in the party to an extent his homosexuality and marriage to his long term

partner last year thought to count against him with traditionalists though when it comes to international affairs he's seen as more nationalistic and some even speculate he's the one most likely to get on with u.s. president donald trump it sounds. like you did this club intend to keep. making up the triumvirate of front runners is a blast from the cd you passed frederick metz was part of a group opposed to angela merkel becoming leader back in two thousand and two they viewed the twenty first century's iron chancellor as just helmut kohl's girl from the east merkel defeated him and then ousted him from party leadership cd you need progressive political discussion and in my opinion this means a cd you need to get things straight about its image fiscally conservative he once famously wanted to digest germany's labrinth fine tax laws so they would fit on

a big popular with traditionalists when it comes to international matters he's very much in favor of e.u. ever expanding union and after the greece debt debacle that's not so hot with the old guard when it comes to germany's place on the international stage it's very clear. trends atlanticist since i became a cosmopolitan germany. and the european. most important political democracy. with whoever gets the job being set up is the logical successor to one glimmer. how do those candidates fare but we have two competing models here one of them is represented by two alpha males who are clearly quite conservative compared to their ambitious and power hungry up against me in some ways another miracle like figure who will continue with our line will be a hard sell though who wins who are less to do with which side of the political

spectrum the candidate comes from a more to do with their personality and drive to fill the position the papers here are suggesting that could be as many as twelve hats in the ring for the top job at the c.d.u. however the smart money is going on the eventual leader of the party be one of those three front runners we just talked about the c.d.u. will elect their new leader at their party conference at the beginning of december and whoever gets that job well they're going to be charged with leading german politics into the post. peter. and i thank you for sharing your truth day with us here at r.t. international more of a worldwide headlines at the top of the hour hope you can join us in.
