geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert music as quite easily. to keep in mind though as it would mean the places. where. the u.s. selection is in full way out of business as a bracing for potential chaos with the prospect of a drawn out 1st count and civil unrest. cause the familiar claims of foreign meddling hung over the traumatising clash we hit the streets of moscow to find out who russian of groups or. the fee was because i can see it from. here too but i don't see biden by the way yet the. gunman identified as a convicted terrorist kills 4 people in vietnam before being shot dead by police

witnesses described what they saw. i saw. running into various passengers from my neighbors. she's very scary she was in the. shooting pool people running and screaming. just gone 9 pm here in the russian capital you're watching ought to international which you probably knew you picked us today. while that is november 3rd which means voting is now underway in u.s. states and what's expected to be the most divisive presidential election in the country's walton history why what you're seeing now the latest pictures from texas why it's just off the 12 day it's today. a republican stronghold and the last

democrat to win the lone star state was jimmy carter back in 1976 donald trump won that by a comfortable 10 point margin for his ago but this time around it's a close watch ground the democratic nominee is trading by just one percentage point according to an opinion polls on joe biden is expected to receive a boost from hundreds of thousands of you to notice in texas who are voting for the fust time. on the other side of this in a sign of growing anxiety business owners are boarding up their windows preparing for the was just there are widespread fears ofay disputed result with some security experts predicting street riots and washington d.c. many offices and schools have ramped up their security from that has a fence one saying what's happening on the ground this is the scene all across downtown washington d.c. from the white house fanning out for miles if you have a shop or a business it's getting boarded up that is what is happening across the city and

it's basically every business this is a wells fargo bank but we're talking basics we're talking restaurants we're talking office buildings if it has glass windows or glass doors it seems like there is plywood going up over it there are dozens of these crews all around downtown washington d.c. putting up why would you know it is a patient of what will in the anticipation of violent protest as a result of election now going into a couple of these businesses and ask the store owners and the shopkeepers what are you guys expecting why are you boarding up now keep in mind most of these folks don't own these buildings are owned by landlords but they're telling me they're boarding up in anticipation of in their words quote whatever happens in anticipation of whatever happens now keep in mind we have in this country 200 years plus of peaceful transition of power that takes place so this is a very unusual sight to see that during the u.s. presidential election that washington d.c. would literally be boarded up in anticipation of possible. silence but of course

the other question that's coming up here does this become the new normal the new normal of when there is a presidential election buildings board up in anticipation of protests against whatever the outcome might ultimately be i did talk to one store owner who is a liquor store owner he told me that during the george floyd protests his business was broken into his windows were smashed so he's putting up the boards himself most of this work is being done by professional crews but i did ask him what do you think any of this has to do with the election he said your guess is as good as mine over at the white house there is another set of her cautions being put up so aside from the plywood being designed to stop protestors and unscalable fits that's what it's being called unscalable fence has been set up here at the white house to protect the president and the white house from any protesters who may try to get over this initial fencing and the multiple layers of security what makes this fence different than these others is actually made of mesh and so there's no room for fingers or toes to be able to climb up it by the way some media organizations have been mislabeled in it claiming it's a white fence on the other side of the white house made of wood it is not it is

this mesh fence that has been confirmed for us by the secret service today the big question surrounding all this really comes down to the question of is this is the new normal for elections hard to believe but with more than 200 years of peaceful transitions of power we're now talking about possible massive protests on the night of election night and again new layers of security at the white house it's also about what happens in the next 4 years 8 years and into the future. what has cost lives kind of more open here's a new york canuck we now know that all states of everyone is having a say bring us up to date. well polls have already been opened for a number of hours here in new york city now around the country we're seeing the along lines outside of the polling places here in new york we're not seeing that as much because early voting has taken place a number of people were able to cast their ballots early so we're not seeing the big long lines now we're already getting some initial reports of fraud there are

some individuals according to the new york post who have been caught voting under the names of deceased people now new york state is you know a stronghold for the democratic party so it's unlikely that the results are going to be affected very much by any potential fraud here but regardless that initial fraud is being reported furthermore are the police of new york city are on standby anticipating protests from a number of different groups if the election results do not go their way here in new york we've also got store owners putting up boards over their windows in addition to that at least one luxury apartment building has hired armed security guards to prepare for any possible confrontations or clashes in the streets protests that set or that might take place in light of the results now across the united states gun sales are at record high and actually in los angeles the day

before the election there was a big line outside of the gun store a gun store just outside of los angeles we were actually able to speak to the owner of that gun shop this is what he had to say. so our 1st time purchasing is probably 50 percent about half of the people that come into our shop are 1st time buyers and that's a big deal you know they fear the worst to come after media lichens and the way that people are going to have to you know riots and stuff like died after the election i think it's going to get probably the worse you know in people once they start breaking down houses and the mobs get bigger you got to be able to protect yourself there's a lot of people getting whatever they can in their hands. their heads the country is on edge because it seems like there hasn't been a clear indication from either camp that they would concede defeat if the results were to come in against their favor and there's been talk among among supporters of joe biden that he should concede donald trump has not said that he would concede

defeat so there's a lot of fears of what might happen now here in new york city we actually took to the streets because while there is big division over the election it wasn't clear if people really understood the differences between the 2 major candidates we decided to ask new yorkers if they could tell us what the difference between joe biden and donald trump really is in terms of policy this is what they told us. carnival was like. from from the other here and no government experience. for them for comfort has an air force oh so you just lied to them and the word says we want most is your heart and let me see has a policy. problem the truth is a very. young thing really. i

would sit by and i'm going to say don trump but it could be biden. so at this point we've got to supply a should have widespread protests we've got gun sales at record levels a lot of nervousness a lot of anticipation here in the united states as the country goes to vote many fearing that this election could turn into a big explosion was sucking tensions running very high it's going to be a long day and night ahead many thanks that was caleb maupin reporting from new york. while there's been an online campaign voters to vote against trump even if they're not particularly targeted of and it's got a very catchy slogan it's subtle for biden going underground spoke to us comedian jimmy door who explains why the left isn't sold on the democratic contender. joe

biden is going to move to the right he's already said but promised he's bought out he's going to veto medicare for all even if it passes the congress and 80 to 90 percent of the people in the country are for it is already vowed to do that and why did he vote to do that because he's in the pocket of wall street and the health insurance companies his record is not ever being able to be moved to the left his record is he moves to the right and then farther to the right he's not moving to the left before he has your vote the idea that he's going to move to the left after you voted for him is as just nuts it's him it sure it's ridiculous and we've got to snap americans out of this idea because once joe biden gets elected we just have another problem to fight you know what they're saying is it's the equivalent does i'm going to go buy a car after i give the car dealer all my money then i'm going to negotiate the price and he's going to give me some of my money back that never happens this is which is why joe biden is never going to move to the left which is why these people have trump derangement syndrome to think that joe biden is anything what an exact

warmongering fascist neal liberal who's going to workers and take care of the billionaire class. door while and has all considered a cool part of donald trump's base and in the state of minnesota ninus have expressed that misgivings i if i can say genda is a local man who told us why many in the industry on meaning to want trouble. well it's mostly about the economy and what the elites of minnesota are going to be best served by hers or trump at this time we have a parser here called 20 metals minnesota which is a proposed copper nickel mine your bum administration has sold 33 new wells on the project that project is moving forward their current good paying jobs numbers really give a boost to the local ringback economy and here we also have some other imports from around the state where their economy is doing better with this coronavirus issue

that's going on because of the season the trumpet. while at least 100000000 americans have already made that choice using and pos and. madam ballots now that figure out is twice as high as the last election now as those votes take longer to count that's unlikely to mean significant delays so in some states men and products cannot be opened until election day and into that's pennsylvania and north carolina they can even be accepted to several days off to the voting has officially ended don't trump has claimed the system is vulnerable to fraud and suggested he might not recognize the result and the democrats are hinting they say. the only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged remember the the only way we're going to lose a select from joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think

this is going to drag out and eventually i do believe he will win whatever the end count is but on the election that occurs on tuesday he will be elected on january 20th he will be inaugurated president of the united states. if they had the election count today of the votes down in person today shows that trump is in the lead just quite possible that he'd be very tempted to declare the premise victory we have to remember that democrats in general have been voting by post and in advance voting their $100000000.00 have done south mainly democrats whereas republicans seem to be voting on the day to hide and night he would have to be in the meet that he will be challenged to marry not only by some people in the administration who would worry if the president tries to interrupt the democratic

process with a result but also if it does of course going to the supreme court and even that despite its new conservative majority and han's consent of the majority i think there were a great resistance that want to believe the mainstream media it's spying very important to know which candidate is preferred here in moscow what is it up to trying to take the tongue in cheek. big bucks being splashed on campaigns the electoral college swing states none of this matters as long as the american vote is being decided. right there by the fox she says. you'll never be able to find out how exactly it works behind these red walls plus the fact that it's russia that's deciding who can easily be felt outside the kremlin says. so i start walking down

the are about street in the heart of moscow and the 1st thing i see for you much. stealing the u.s. alike ship deciding instead of the americans you want to see what it looks like this is what it looks like. the famous photo office i can see from. here too but i don't see biden. by the us yet. but they're full of the most sophisticated now about something that's makes a difference right. i mean teeth still don't measure things when you see this joe biden's wife showing up in the same dress as the one our teas editor in chief was wearing while interviewing surrogate. go on the fear from

the right total bullshit given. the 1st thing i knew it would be just pull the. pin gosh look at them but actually they're done with the what if we can see you in the bush. to keep records are you jason staying. when the night for. is the scheming put on hold and can now. go to church every. once in the store and you didn't feel ok about it when you were the. boys are going to feel like they're going to flip it over for a. night or day rushes taking all down the road. but let me be serious for a 2nd i'll tell you what most russians barely know when the american vote is

happening and to be honest with you most people don't care at all i would like to get over the fence. but this is the libertarian central banks of the companies in the south. but 1st place are you seriously believe that make you love these are live in the moment. but i'll still listen to that maybe 4 but i. think i'm going to tell you. while the electoral process in the us can be allowed to figure out for the rest of the world cool to has more on its complexity and potential pitfalls. for as long as anyone can remember washington's been helping people around the world fight wars change regimes influence elections all in the name of democracy but in 2020 america itself seems to have a crisis of democracy on its hands this is going to be

a fraud like you've never seen our democratic institutions threatened like never before i think the choice in this election is whether america remains america is our democracy and dangerous this is a democratic emergency talk of democracy being in danger has become normal for both democrats and republicans and there's more than just one reason as to why we could start with the fact that the actual popular vote doesn't even determine election outcomes we're the only democracy in the world that doesn't kill the popular vote and the bitter irony of america's winner takes all system in which the outcome could literally be the opposite of what most people voted for is that it's called the electoral college. and.

so no matter who you vote for it's unlikely to make much of a difference unless of course you live in a swing state in these states the popular vote is usually up in the air meaning they almost always determine the election outcome to give you an example no republican has ever become president without the critical swing state of ohio iowa michigan minnesota north carolina are among those no less important swing states it's created a political situation where candidates will go to any length to please these specific voters i will be calling on the florida attorney general to launch an investigation into mike bloomberg. potentially engaging in bribery and vote buying in the state of florida bloomberg raised over $16000000.02 pay the legal fees of nearly $32000.00 black and hispanic felons in florida the democrats know how

important a swing state is but so did the republicans at a recent florida rally trump demanded votes from the residents of the nearby island of puerto rico i'm not going to say the best but i'm just about the best thing that ever happened to puerto rico you better vote for what are you going to unfortunately for trump he clearly didn't know they can't vote the caribbean island still has the political rights of what many consider to be a 1900 centuries calling puerto rico's 3200000 u.s. citizens aren't the only ones who can vote for the country's president american samoa the northern mariana islands and u.s. virgin islands are also vote lists u.s. territories even many people who live on the mainland have the right to vote but faced serious obstacles something human rights groups are calling a mockery it is. now we are and will to exercise it because they're all these barriers not enough centers missing from voter guides that are

complicated to say you don't live in a territory and voting booths are accessible to you it's not like there's much of a choice everyone knows 2 parties run the show in american politics and even if a 3rd one does end up on the ballot it's not like it would have much of a chance to compete the polls show that about 2 thirds of the american people would like to see another major already an alternative to the 2 major parties that we have now and despite all these problems with america's electoral system washington still claims the country is the world's beacon of democracy. what i want to bring in now but it's going to environmental activist and me rochus right and the welcome to the program now if i'm not mistaken you are in seattle now we know that in the selma seattle seoul some pretty tense right. it's how do you think that will impact the elections if at all yes this is a very very good question i think that it has the potential to ignite both bases i

mean those who are very very serious about the need for massive criminal injustice reforms are in our criminal justice system massive reforms to the police to funding of the police and reallocating and reinvesting that money into communities and then there are also people who do believe that we need more law and order so we can vote in them come out to vote as well but this is definitely something that's going to be on the minds of seattle lights of people you know to the south and portland philadelphia you know recently just had an incident where an african-american man was shot and killed by police so this is definitely a major issue especially because it really impacts one of the most important if not the most important voting bloc for the democratic party which is of course black voters watching to talk about that demographic trump has taken quite a tough uncompromising line on black lives not to me when he's called at a symbol of hate do you think that that could be his chances do you think that

really has talent away. yeah i mean i think that obviously the vast majority of black voters do support the black lives matter movement they understand that it is absolutely not a symbol of hate it's not a group of hate basically it's a group that is trying to get the message through to all the people of the united states that black people have been oppressed and suppressed systemically in this country for you know nearly 5 centuries now and so i think that the president taking such a hard stance and in some cases are pretty myopic because people are standing up for themselves and in some cases are standing up for themselves forcibly calling them a hate group while at the same time not condemning groups like the proud boys and other groups that have been deemed hate groups by the f.b.i. by the southern poverty law center could have a major impact on trump's chances this evening. of talking about

a different theme from an environmental perspective a lot of people criticized you know as a climate change denier * putting out of paris. what do you think he has potentially of trying could mean and do you think biden would do any better. yes this is an i'm very very important question because we are seeing that climate change is becoming a top issue for all voters and especially for voters you see lots of groups like the sunrise movement who have had their hand in the elections already they were very helpful in integra in getting people like jamal bowman who knocked off a 32 year incumbent in new york state and of course bush who is a black lives matter activist now a congresswoman elect climate change. is the top button issue because we understand that we're running out of time we really don't have any more time to dilly dally the atmosphere is polluted with. over $400.00 parts per 1000000 of carbon dioxide.

with a 4 more years of donald trump we are going to be in really big trouble in terms of what needs to be done which is a massive phase out fossil fuels in a way that takes care of current fossil fuel workers and the communities that are dependent on fossil revenues but it's very very clear that this particular president and this administration has gone in and dismantled the e.p.a. has taken references to climate change. e.p.a. has website the white house has website it's clear that this president wants to double down on a fossil fuel industry which white frankly is failing right now 100000 fewer jobs lost in the last 3 months exxon who previously 5 years ago i believe was the most valuable company in the world recently kicked out of the dow and themselves saying that they're going to have to underwrite $25.00 to $30000000000.00 so what we need right now is a massive shift renewable energy of course you know we're. told right now in

pennsylvania and for climate activists and those who really understand that we are running out of time to climb a clock struck midnight that we simply can't afford 4 more years of donald trump in that arena. well given the massive talent out there we've already seen and. these are the topics of really got people interested again in politics they want to have their say many thanks that was me raj is right political environmental activist always good to have you on the program thanks so much take. well i just want to finish with some news that's actually just come in the terrorist group islamic state has claimed responsibility for monday's mass shooting
