well. you know. you're going to be. a tremendous success. on the republicans holding on to the senate. while the democrats regain the house of representatives saying it's a huge blow to the president. it's almost never made anything like this in history have we had a country in. trouble. it was a record breaking vote with the election numerous issues with huge queues polling

stations opening late and voting machines breaking down. now the news of jewish organization in germany polls on the government to put on special integration classes for newly arrived. amid a spike. and a photo of a palestinian protesters looking like a famous painting of the french revolution goes viral we speak to him about his experiences protesting at the gaza border where he was shot by an israeli soldier. the worldwide headlines here live on the hour every hour with this international a very warm welcome to you. americans have cost the ballots in crucial midterm elections amid deep divisions in the country. the democrats. for gains that will

see them resting by control of the house of representatives where the republicans retain control of the senate now donald trump has dubbed the result a tremendous success democrats though say it's a huge blow to the president because of their restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the john thank you thank. the barack has spoken. and took back the house of representatives. so tonight is a night to celebrate how far our movement has come. true for the lives of. several others have announced the senate going into republican control that's a huge moment a huge victory for the president to fill testament to the fact that many voters want their state wide officials to be people who will continue to have this economic boom going are voting in favor of freedom and free markets this is the

first time in eight years that the democrats have had control of the u.s. house of representatives now this is centrally means a split government and with control of the house of representatives the democrats will have the ability to launch more investigations into donald trump they'll have the ability to subpoena people and bring them before congress also they'll have the ability to get their hands on some key documents now people are asking could this mean impeachment now the way the u.s. constitution lays that out the democrats with control of the house will be able to bring impeachment charges against the president however it is the senate that would vote to remove the president in the event of an impeachment trial so the senate remains solidly republican however at this point a government shutdown is a real possibility because in order for legislation to pass the u.s. congress both houses have to sign on to it so with the democrats having the ability to shut down legislation they could essentially shut down the government as has

happened under the obama administration and appears that while the senate remains republican the democrats seem to have maintained and won control of the u.s. house of representatives larry king share his thoughts on the midterms without see america. but we're going to have that holds a split government which at this point in this country might even be healthy. alas the last two years have been the turbulent to say the least this is an important election night live through a lot of them but i've never been through one like this from from that all business and up from pont that all is this was an election for or against trump probably he controlled the media over the last two years it's almost at a point there's never been anything like this in history ever i know donald for forty years the one thing the state you made stacey and you make very few in your

life donald trump does not have a bruised ego. go to mainz constant in other words what he will say is a couple of things democrats stole as in the house why are you notice that we kept the senate because most of my time was devoted to the senate he will take credit for whatever doesn't matter what happens if he lost the senate he would have blamed the world we've never seen anything like this in politics ever now that i'm trying to picture him fifty years from today they put up till portraits of american presidents right now i'm trying to see washington jefferson. rose full reagan. do you think that i just never saw him as president and so what we have is accomplished some things but we have a we have a country in. trouble

a record breaking thirty eight million people voted early excitement over the made resulted in us with some not even getting the cost of votes other issues included. voting machines lacking power cords at some places there was a shortage of machines on ballots some stations opened late in chandler a phoenix suburb the polling station was closed due to a failure to pay the rent but was later reopened by local officials lossy america was of course covering the midterm elections in the early stages and the debate on the channel got quite heated. so many new voters and people who are engaged truly was an indication of the blue way i saw in my own neighborhood people who were out knocking on doors for the first time these are people who could have done it during the obama era that means they were pushed and they were pushed by that blue way that's going to take us on to the next election i think that you're going to have a congress

a democrat congress that's going to really alley and eight its own party going to be fighting their own little war between themselves and i think in two thousand and twenty you're going to see a different picture presidential election more turnout on the republican side i think the democrats really push it this time and i don't think you're going to see more people who haven't voted this time around come out next time so i think that that the republicans are setting themselves up for a big victory in two thousand and twenty for donald trump and you know the house and senate you know what i'm thinking and thinking is as i'm listening to all of the because i could give a hoot about the politics i don't i really don't give a crap who wins but i will tell you this as an american as an american and i want to ask you this question scotty as an american i actually believe that divided government is what the doctor asks for right now for americans i mean it seems like if if we agree that one of the greatest things about our system is the fact that we

have checks and balances than what could be better than two parties fighting it out for the truth rather than any one of these forty whether it's the blue or the red in control but here is the problem that we have to look at how are they going to fight are these politicians when they're on the hill are they going to act like children and todd birds like we've seen them do the last two years and previous when they fight because they are setting the example on how we handle political discussion discourse in this country i just want to make sure that going forward this does not encourage more discourse more anger by a division between the two parties and that they don't have it all down to in the two parties i disagree with you i want there to be as much division between these two parties as an american as we. could possibly get in fact i would prefer they do nothing because as far as i'm concerned it's very difficult in the last five ten years to see anybody do anything in washington that has actually benefited the american people that i don't trump ration is have been benefited a lot in this country but as far as people like my mother and my father and my

family very little has been done either by democrats or republicans for the american people so as far as i'm concerned if they spend the next two years doing nothing but fighting amongst themselves and nothing gets done hallelujah i just think it's a poisoned well and i don't see it coming back any say any time soon i think the country is so divided that it's almost impossible to expect it to come back and as far as the government not doing anything in two years i mean you talk about mom and pops people who don't have deductions could double the standard deduction that's going to mean the money back in their pocket after they file their income taxes i mean just stop you for a minute those tax breaks that you referred to for the average person are going to last about a year and a half for rich people are going to last for the rest of their lives so let's not be. led by the job provide the jobs so everything for the rich and nothing for the poor how i don't i don't everyone share the rich i would question that strategy many republicans are republican because they believe in their particular values but

there are a lot of democrats who are democrats simply because they are not republicans and so when you have a broad audience like that of people who care either about social justice or economic justice you're going to get that makes back and it's much harder to have a defined message like the republicans we're back in just a moment. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy thing for him to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become advocates and indeed from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. with us today for your world news a germany's leading jewish organization is calling for special anti semitism classes for muslim migrants comes amid a spike in hate crimes targeting jews of peter all over investigates. jewish

community leaders in germany say they want to see integration classes for migrants that focus on i'm saying that this could help stem a rise in anti-semitic incidents in the country many of these people have been shaped by regimes in which anti semitism is essential and the jewish state is denied the right to live to prevent the worst scenario we need to tailor the integration courses to these people much more preferably by country of origin the official statistics back up a rise in crime in germany just over four hundred were reported in the first half of twenty eighteen knots up ten percent on the same period last year the vast majority of these were committed by neo nazi and far right groups but the leadership of germany's foremost jewish organization paints a bleak picture of the future saying he sees more problems coming from migrants one of the most shocking cases of twenty eighteen was caught on camera shows him it is

just the media should do you think showing a nineteen year old syrian molly going to be using two men from berlin for wearing a kippah going as far as to attack the men with his belt jewish leaders have cautioned against wearing the traditional skull cap so as not to draw attention in berlin we've seen reports of jewish children becoming the target of anti semitic bullying in school and this summer ten people were arrested after a brawl in a berlin park which started after one group of people from syria snatched away a star of david necklace worn by a jewish man also from the same country over one million refugees and migrants event in the country since twenty fifteen and as chancellor merkel points out some have contributed to the problem of noir we have a new phenomenon as we have many refuges a man whom there are for example people of arab origin who bring in another form of anti-semitism into the country

a fortune. the anti simitis which existed before that i met with burly rabbi yehuda take them and i asked him how bad the situation is and if he agrees with extra integration classes for migrants focusing on anti-semitism the problem with anti-semitism in germany today is unfortunately growing there is much worry about the developments in germany especially due to the fact that many refugees have come from countries which they were breastfed with hate towards israel and towards jewish people of course we welcome everybody but at the same time being a refugee doesn't only have merits it also has obligations it's not something that only affects the jewish people this affects all people that honor and respect democracy and want to live in a society which respects all people so we have to understand that this is a very serious top agenda issue also for the leaders of the german government and

we strongly encourage them to take it in that manner this week sees the eightieth anniversary of kristallnacht or the night of the broken glass when jewish homes and businesses and places of worship were set ablaze by nazis but the nation support about all of hitler's governments while the situation in today's germany is thankfully a long way from out of the one nine hundred thirty s. that period of history continues to cast a long shadow peter all of the bill in a star midfielder one of england's top football clubs has received harsh criticism on social media after refusing to wear the traditional remembrances poppy ahead of armistice day which marks the end of world war one in saturday's match from manchester united so. decided not to wear the flower so he explained why on a post in instagram. i recognize fully why people wear poppies i totally respect everyone's right to do so and i have told sympathy for anyone who has lost loved

ones to do conflict however for me it is only a reminder of the bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred nine on reflection i now don't feel it is right for me to wear the poppy on my shirt the poppy was first introduced as a remembrance symbol for those who died in the first world war however now its meaning has been extended as a symbol of remembrance for all fallen soldiers ati's elected a chef he picks up the story now from the serbian capitol belgrade. it's not every day you see a professional footballer take a hard political stance but that's exactly what manchester united and. did regarding wearing the poppy well you would think that this would pacify all the tension because it was heavily criticized for not wearing this poppy but yes some people took to social media to deliver a lot of abuse towards the serbian player now some were suggesting that he should be injured others were saying that he should leave the country and play elsewhere

but in serbia his decision received some price appreciate it decision politics shouldn't be involved in the sports i would do the same from this country. has suffered more. twenty years from these aggressors in the. country where the play is one of these are. not the bed. i don't like not the part not the soldiers but even in the england itself is explanation left very mixed response some people actually defended him and said they respected his choice after all he was not even an english player but say that to stoke city's james maclean from republic of ireland who also refused to wear a poppy and got so much abuse coming towards him that it just you know the social media literally exploded with vile things said about the republic of ireland international player and he even had somewhat of

a confrontation with the fans at one of the recent stoke city games so all this basically raises a big question what is wearing a poppy in england a symbol of remembrance or something that you can use as a stick to hit a player if you refuses to wear it based on his nationality we've got reaction in london to the footballers decision not to wear a puppy. if he lives and works in britain. on the national poppy days a special day yes it should but he obviously has a great personal feeling as to why and i think you just have to respect his previous if you are doing it. especially in a team sport like that then i think that really sometimes you should swallow your own personal opinions just to show respect for the people around him and his family and his even his team to show respect he should i feel like he should wear poppy i wish we just stop making war and celebrating the fact that men die the more that's

not something that we really truly find a new way. a photo of a palestinian a protester has gone viral for similarities to a famous painting of the french revolution a work by cold liberty leading the people of protester in the image has now himself become a symbol of resistance. does it look familiar especially to the french reminds me of liberty leading the people by eugene de kock walk a very powerful image. and
