if. you. want all that money one thing i'm sure you are ignoring me when the. police immediately give them to you or the europeans are. a tremendous success that stalled from this verdict on the republicans holding on to the senate in the mid to swing while the democrats regain regain the house of representatives saying it's a huge blow to the president. it's almost a report was never made anything like this in history ever we had a country and. a lot of trouble. and it was a record breaking to turn out so you put the election proper. polling stations open late and don't say thank you sheen's breaking down also become

a jewish will my station in germany calls on the government to put on special integration classes for newly arrived muslim migrants amid a spike in anti-semitic incidents and a photo of a palestinian protesters looking like a famous painting in the french revolution goes viral we speak to him about his experiences of protesting at the gaza border where he was shot by an israeli soldier. all the while can you watching r.t. international start this hour with breaking news to you because we're getting reports of a hostage situation in the french town of done a woman has reportedly threatened to detonate a bomb at a local hospital there and a police operation is currently under way in the area where we are told has been cordoned off to that's the latest any more information we'll bring it straight to. the americans have cost. ballots in crucial midterm elections amid deep divisions

in the country in the results to indicate the democrats are set for gains that will see them resting back control of the house of representatives while the republicans retain control of the senate donald trump has dubbed the result a tremendous success however democrats say it's a huge blow to the president. to found restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the chump. of america spoke up. 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 others have announced the senate going into republican control that's a huge moment a huge victory for the president seville 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 because 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 kind of monthly reports now larry king also shared his thoughts on the midterms with the american. 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 trump front at all there's no doubt trump on the role as this was an election for against strong. 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. remains 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 and 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. fifty years from today they put up till portraits of american presidents right now i'm trying to see washington jefferson. roseville 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 a lot of trouble. well a record breaking thirty eight million people voted early and the excitement over the midterms resulted and you can see here some not even getting to cast their votes some stations opened late in chandler serve a phoenix for example the polling station there was closed due to a failure to pay rent that was later reopened by local officials one new york polling station saw technical difficulties to four hundred people there also famine selves trapped in a long queue after scanners and machines broke down people claimed only one machine was working. and then in south carolina one man had to vote shirtless apparently that's because the state does not allow anyone to display any campaign material within seventy meters of the polling station and he was forced to take off his

trump shirt despite the fact that the president wasn't even a candidate in the midterms. last america was covering midterm elections in its early stages and debate on the channel got pretty 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 alienates 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 have really pushed at 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 gratian 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 you provide the jobs so everything for the rich and nothing for the poor no i don't i don't every one of 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 mixed bag and it's much harder to have a defined message like the republicans. in the news today jim these leading jewish organizations calling for a special anti semitism classes full muslim migrants comes amid a spike in hate crimes talk. to all of the reports. jewish community leaders in

germany say they want to see integration classes for migrants that focus on the semitism saying that this could help stem a. an 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 a 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 man 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 fortunately and to citizen existed before that i met with burly rabbi yehuda take that 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 here 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 with the nascent support of out of hitler's government 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 our r.t. berlin and still to come this hour a few a serbian footballer does face a backlash after refusing to wear a symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers but have a look at that story just after the break. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to be right to be cross this is what before three of them or can't be good get. interested in the waters of. the ship. seemed wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just being educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back now a star midfielder one of england's top football clubs has received harsh criticism on social media after refusing to wear the traditional remembrance pulpy ahead of armistice day which marks the end of world war one in saturday's match for managed united the serb pneumonia massif decided not to wear the flower and he explained why on 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 due to 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 or the pope it 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 foreign soldiers ours is actually our share of ski picks up the story now from the serbian capital well great. 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 as. politics shouldn't be involved into sports i would do the same from this country. has suffered more. from this.

country were. one of these are. not the park these beds. don't like not the park not the soldiers but even in england itself 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 stock city's 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 also got reaction to

the decision not to wear a poppy. if he lives and works in britain. on the national. poppy today's special day yes it should so here obviously has a great personal feeling as to why and i think you just have to respect his previous two if your teammates are doing it. and i think that really sometimes you should swallow your own personal opinions just to show respect for like the people around him and his family and his even his team like to show respect he should i feel like he should wear poppy i wish we just stop making wars and celebrating the fact that men died a morse that's not something that we really all glorify him anyway. a photo of a palestinian protester has gone viral for its similarities to a thankless painting of the french revolution called liberty leading the people the protester in the image has now become the symbol of resistance.

does it look familiar especially to the french reminds me of liberty leading the people by huge and the like was a very powerful image. level all over the luggage of the great modern return demonstrations to live with dignity and to take back the land that i will never leave i will go every day and god willing our dreams be achieved.

ultimately the flag down and started throwing stones with my sling shot so the shot may only carry the sling shot in the flag and i was hurting them a tool and they were facing off with weapons. and. do this in a great march of return demonstrations flag in one hand sling and the other when i saw my photo i was moved to go back. where there has been wide criticism of israel see successive force against gaza protesters israel though insists that it's the palestinians who are inciting the violence the so-called great march returning demonstration at the border has been taking place now for over seven months and at least two hundred ten palestinians have been killed with more than eighteen thousand people. so that's how the news is looking so far today here in our say we'll be back again in the back

through one hundred ninety four. the country is torn apart by brutal there's no conflict. nearly a million died in half a year and the streets of rwanda cities was steeped in blood and littered with bodies. the term genocide is often used to describe what happened here. but for the people who saw it all firsthand it was the end of the world. witnesses to the genocide in rwanda against the tutsi try. i'd say that when the

genocide ended mass acts of retribution followed. the widespread killing made women the working majority country went to an accidental feminist country. in time that involuntary social shift transformed into a positive social trend could filter the country's women to rebuild what the bible . has been honest. i'm not going to have. to know what. i know i don't.
