when you have a black box operating the public road to microsoft dependency puts governments under a cyber threat not only to think. more. because of this this is an easy sell in the. mosque and the all the. problems with. these this is. done with your vision stopping there was a sting of all homes in front is up and describes on the side of. the headlines this american is heading to the polls in the face of the contest mid-term elections that are being billed as a referendum on the trump administration. u.k. charity oxfam sounds the alarm over the number of saudi led coalition strikes on aid facilities in yemen and u.n.

reports that while there significantly escalated over the weekend. french right wearing the pen over takes a manual macro on in the parliamentary election polling for the very first time it comes amid fresh protests against the president and controversy over his foreign policy. or they get a vicious gone seven pm here in the russian capital you're watching international. the u.s. is heading to the polls on tuesday as seen critical midterm elections these are latest pictures from a polling stations in atlanta live i'm told sorry with the country divided over the trumpet ministration and the democrats desperate to wrest back control of congress from the republicans campaigning has been face.

you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. the. angry left wing mob and that's what the democrats are. two words i'm going to find the money of the two thousand and fifteen 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 care of. the series of suspicious packages sent across the country mail by mail bombs fire alarm here will keep you posted on. the.

well the midterms in the us are held every four years hof way through the presidential term americans do have a lot to choose to including all four hundred thirty five members of the house of representatives thirty five seats in the senate and also thirty six state governors but this time around it's all about one man who's not even on the ballot paper this kind of 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 vague 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 that 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 power. 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 and 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. meanwhile some u.s. officials have been raising the alarm over a possible foreign interference in the middle the trumpet ministration has the keys

china russia and iran of meddling in the. trunk it takes a closer look at the allegations i want to make sure everyone's been warned i'm going to switch off the maddening madness. just turned off there is no way to turn this off even the ideas. 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. it would have to be filled with other top stories russia is added again interfering in the two thousand and ten midterm elections been told the congress take 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 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 nested inside one big. 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 will say to get put in is a stark and parag obama 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 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. that no vote who were affected that the tallies are accurate they did not in any way shape or one that we've been able to learn all through that how dare you. someone porton 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'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 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 study history and they started a long time ago systematically. free trade really. just

for your information mr hall these 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 terms is actually just a rush versus china showdown and the meddling madness league season. the u.n. reports that the conflict in yemen escalated significantly just over the weekend that is the u.k. charity oxfam sons the lama of the number of society led coalition strikes hitting eight facilities in the country. last wednesday we had. more than twenty people killed in an airstrike in her day 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 hammers that we were provided and supported water system that has actually been bombed by a strike this is what we bombed approaches bombed out the day and yes well over fifty thousand people have been killed in yemen since twenty sixteen saudi led strikes the main cause of civilian casualties there meanwhile fourteen million people are on the brink of famine and cholera and polio are also putting the lives of millions at risk in fact two thirds of the country is in dire need of humanitarian aid while a july strike on a water facility did leave up to twenty five thousand people without access to clean water and then just in september food supplies to parts of the country were disrupted after a key motorway was bombed doctors without borders is also reported that saudi strikes have targeted their medical facilities in yemen to you it says in fact five

centers have been attacked since twenty fifteen in june the group's cholera treatment center in northern yemen was destroyed within their defense saudi arabia claims it only targets beauty fighters are not civilians meanwhile britain is coming under a lot of pressure to stop its arms sales to react. do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law in conflict mistakes are made the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb supplies are there for those who need to defend themselves we believe that you can go no legal party to this conflict and they actually go to war and bomb the conference back in may of the twenty eight team when they'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 seems to show that any changes happened when every few days we're here to do the horrific it's out west it

is a kill whether it's the school or squabbling or the other response following recently and it may also conversation a joke since it was bombed which left eight thousand people without water so the pattern is continuing and absolute you could governments in people into that part of it every few days we got snacks and if we could get a secret government looking to excuse the saudis in their policy in here it's wrong we call it how it is going to acquiring or excuse it's we is also giving them dossiers that. we never gave them so we need them to stop their weapons now stop the sales of weapons now and then most importantly commit to a cease fire press for a cease fire in the un security council and nothing less than that will actually do to save the people you know and. in other news tonight paramedics in paris and blocking the city's ring roads and other key routes for a second day with so-called snail protests sirens blazing ambulances parked across

roads reportedly causing hundreds of kilometers of traffic jams and demonstrations over changes in conditions that paramedic's a problematic for. well those protests are just the latest to hit france in recent weeks and they do come as right wing party leader marine le pen overtakes for the first time in the polls ahead of parliamentary elections next year one quarter takes a closer look. france has broken out into protest as of late on nov fifth five hundred paramedics as well as two thousand supporters took to the streets to

protest a government reform that would end state funding towards medical transportation and on the same day macron found himself trying to diffuse growing opera about the rising taxes on fuel prices in france already angry citizens are prepared to block roads on nov seventeenth in response to this with authorities preparing for the worst and recently there were even several severe building collapses in a poor neighborhood of march say with leftist politician john saying that it was due to an indifference to poverty in france and that latest polls are actually seriously reflecting this says for the first time ever marine le pen and her euro skeptic party are polling at twenty one percent that's higher than macron and his party's nineteen percent and amidst all this macron is beginning to promise things on an e.u. scale for example a new european army separate from nato and dependency on the united states we can't

protect europeans without a real european army faced with a russia run our borders that's shown itself capable of being a threat i want to create a prosperous security built against russia which is a country i respect which is itself european we need a europe that can defend itself alone without depending only on the united states in a way that exhibits great to sovereignty so as macron continues to focus on issues like a european wide army and these problems internally in france become larger issues for him it just starts to seem more and more like he'd rather become president of the european union than continue as president of france. with us he still ahead this out of the race to replace angle of the list the head of the with two of the from run is rejecting him my current policies will have a look at the details just after. i.

what holds its institutions a little. they put themselves on the law and. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be rich. have to be right to be close with what before three of them or can't be good get. interested always in the waters of our. show small seem wrong when old roles just don't call. me old yet to say proud just they become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the.

oh you're welcome back now there are fears for judy massages safety after his legal team said that someone tried to break into the ecuadorian embassy in london the whistleblower hasn't left the building since twenty twelve when he sought refuge there fearing extradition to the u.s. embassy. reports according to reports citing the wiki leaks founder his legal team it's being claimed that quite recently a songe had experienced an attempted break in inside the ecuadorian embassy here in london just behind me where of course he has been holed up now for over six years and according to these reports that cite his team what allegedly happened was songe

had experienced an attempted intruder trying to break through one of the windows in front of the building and what stopped that intruder allegedly or at least made a songe aware of him was a booby trap that set up using a fire hydrant and now any more details or information about what happened next who this person might have been or any details on this really continue to remain a mystery so that's all that we know so for now we have contacted the metropolitan police to see if they had anything to say on this and they said they have no reports of such an attempt to break in and we also tried to speak to officials inside this embassy they told us over the phone that the ambassador is not currently in place so they're not charged with the authority to make comments on this matter but supporters of julian a songe have made it clear that their concerns about his security are quite high

this is what his mother had said quite recently the loss of my son just. killing and. then immediate critical danger the former president of ecuador. publicly when u.s. president not recently visited. the deal was done to him and julian i've got to tell you it well if you can see behind me the building is now currently covered with scaffolding this also raising concerns about whether or not this could be somehow affecting the security camera operations that are that have up until now been in place so lots of questions about coming from the sun just supporters now about whether or not he's actually see being inside the embassy all of this even more so highlighted by the fact that recently a scientist had quite a rocky relationship with dorian officials if you remember his access to the internet as well as other communications and visitors had been restricted by

a dorrien officials who were not happy with him expressing his opinions on political issues around the world that restriction was later partially lifted in exchange for certain rules that julian assange had had to follow that officials were asking of him to follow which he was not quite happy doing whatsoever so really exactly where this whole saga is going to be heading next could really be anyone's guess. ok well let's go to germany now because the secretary general of anglo merkel c.d.u. party there has reportedly stepped down as she prepares to run for the party's leadership replacing the outgoing merkel but the jury is still out as to who will actually win this race is there are other major contenders for the post as peter all of reports this is often the fact it's the fast food at the next you do you party convention in december i will not run for the chair of the party secondly this is the last one for me i will not run for chance and i join 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 angela 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. 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. for the c.d.u. is the start it's not about which single person is shining within the city but the party as a whole has to shine every of the on a great cramp. 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 was a default 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 he's going to how do. you do 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 the c.d.u. needs 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. european trends atlanticist because a cosmopolitan germany. and the european. enlightenment whose most important political allies of the democracy is a waste with whoever gets the job being set up as the logical successor to one glimmer is chancellor how do those candidates fare. we have two competing models here one of them is represented by two alpha males who are clearly quite conservative compared to most of their ambitious and power hungry up against them is in some ways another miracle like figure who will continue with her line will be a hard sell though who wins while less to do with which side of the political spectrum the candidate comes from

a more to do with her 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 of their party conference at the beginning of the sembler and whoever gets that job well they're going to be charged with leading german politics into the post merkel era peter all of the berlin thanks for your company tonight our programs continue after the break. with lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves.

live to be the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business. i'm show business i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on a fence clearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of

big partners. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. this is the ca's report i'm because or hey you know we are still on our epic voyage guns owing across america trying to take the pulse of a nation being

a massive nervous breakdown heading into the most contentious midterm elections since ganga's con ruled eurasia stacy max we're heading to albuquerque maxed you're going to be able to see this entire journey on gonzo coming soon in december on our t.v. but you know one thing i want to point out is we when we're on the road we do get to see some of the crazy cable news here in america from the hotel room and it's still crazy like three four that i feel like maybe the altitude is a little bit too high i'm not sure if i'm hallucinating what i'm seeing on the news here but it's pretty bonkers and one thing they never mention ever is not only do they not mention yemen but they don't mention china and they don't talk about what's happening with china because i think they don't understand it they're afraid of it or they want to ignore it and they don't know how to deal with it so i'm going to look at this headline from marshall our back who is a genuine progress of there aren't very many genuine progressive's in america

there's a left wing there they call themselves left wing because they're.
