across the old horse here, we discussed the wheel and the former minister and republican from pennsylvania. you may not think where it says when it came to the you know what? she is black, i'm gay and voting for donald trump blurred political lines as us election day. as is closer, we explore how long time party loyalists are hopping defense, and that shifting values on americas and political landscape. and a letter to the un signed by 52 countries, turkey demands of global arms embargo on israel condemning its deadly actions in the middle east. and with mode both accounted animal devin presidential election, the incumbent president lisa res. things to vote cast by ex pats abroad. all the

oppositions later. scores big with the electorate on homes, soil the live in the russian capital. you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble was a little over 24 hours to go until the us picks is next president. the race to the white house is expected to be neck and neck. will be keeping you updated with our special coverage right here on our t. the, the on donald trump has pulled into a virtual tie with vice president comma harris, according to latest polls. the racing of 4 percentage points deficit certainly found trumpet harris. each receiving 49 percent support among likely voters,

but the remaining 2 percent saying they would back another candidate in the final days of campaigning. trump has once again underlines that can only hope to see a fair election. all they do is think about how they can cheat. there's only one reason you don't want folder id. there's only one reason and that's to cheat, but we've got all those crap going on with the press, with the fake stuff and fig falls. and then it gives you a big difference. very caesar, caesar fits varies, and they want to lock you up. they want to put you in jail, the ones that should be locked up by the ones that sheet on these horrible elections that we go through. and i've got the tensions boil between the democratic and republican parties. the newer governor has resorted to hurling, installed, such from supporters, calling them among other things, empty american. and remind everybody if you're voting for these republicans in new

york or voting for someone who supports donald trump and you're anti woman, you're anti abortion. and basically you are, i am tight american. in the whirlwind of insults and finger pointing, it's all too easy to overlook. the real issues that actually matter to the parties, but the age old tradition of sticking to poor principles for both democrats and republicans seems to have gone out the window with political lines blurred and many criss crossing between sides based on policies of the moments ortiz or are we not customer of our breaks it all down? i think it was used to have a clear separation between it's 2 main parties. the democrats and republicans will, over the past decades, the blues don't keys, represented liberalism, globalism, peace and social welfare. the right that the focus on the other hand, have traditionally been conservative pushing for nationalism and the aggressive foreign policy and a flea markets. somewhere along the way, however, those lines,

gall blurred, old school democrats have been against war, at least in principle. i oppose the water rack from the beginning. it was a fluid strategy that diverted attention and resources away from hunting down or some of been latins terrorist networks. and since then, too often, the present as a rec, policies have worse and americans security. today they are the ones screaming, so this one that comes to army as well and ukraine. we must have ukraine in a approved can. we must do it quickly. the simple truth is that their battle is our battle. if they lose americans live, democrats used to call out the republicans for their aggressive war policies, which included orchard should have had the option of everything up and to and including waterboard. and i think you ought to have all of those capabilities on the table. so the, the, i, that's big cheney, i mean, thank god,

the last administration didn't listen to him at the end. fig cheney used to be, the vice president said also the arkansas behind the americas notes. horace invasions over rock and of gotten his thoughts. he was criticized and even hates. it was the democrats for those brutal wars, one of which had infamous pretences, but all is forgiven. now, it seems as long as he says, those magic words against, from in our nation is 246 year history. there has never been an individual that was a great, a threat to our republic. and donald trump, he tried to steal the last election using lies in violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected. he is a coward, a real man wouldn't line his support. he lost his election any last big. i know it knows that the down. i think most republicans know his, our lives is a former republican congresswoman who completely shares her father's ideology and has also made a u turn to the point. she's now campaigning for the democrats and the crowds.

don't see a problem. help us write the ship of our democracy so that history will save us. when our time of testing came, we did our duty and we prevailed because we loved our country more. and now and now it is my great honor to introduce you to our vice president and the next president of the united states. pamela harris, the but there is a catch, the splice, the diverse appeal of the democrats to voters, of all faiths and nationalities. it seems that once you have a chain the on board, people get nervous and security is that some of it celebs when arab muslims are in the crowd and was actually sitting down city some emails on my phone and i was not

even engaged in any conversation with anyone, someone, the lady came to me and said, can you follow me please? and when we went to the door, i found 2 police officers waiting for me there. and they need me. if i leave, they would both put me in the back of the police car while you were wearing perhaps something that was questionable. no, and i can show you the fluid that i was waiting yesterday. i didn't have any pens any that knows all campaign regrets. this action and its impact on dr. good name and the community and he is welcome, mad future events. we value our relationship with the muslim american community and are committed to ensuring all community and political spaces are welcoming and respectful to every american. it's all that anyone 20 years ago that hard live republican has dick unless cheney would be on the side of the democrats 2 decades later, you would be considered insane. that sounds almost as insane as a kennedy. supporting a republican. oh, wait,

please. the principal cause that persuaded me to leave the democratic democratic party and, and run it as an independent and how to throw my support. president drum. because it clauses were free speech war and you grade, and the war and our children. and to add insult to injury, trump is getting realizing support now from black and latino voters who used to be an absolute stronghold for the democrats and black. i'm gay and voting for donald trump on november 5th. and let me get started with this. there is no law that says because i'm black or because i'm gay or because i happen to be both that i'm support is supposed to vote for democrats for the rest of my life. meanwhile, team high risk is now focusing on the average. so the hard working white type, i'm a 56 year old gun on a white guy. come over here sinks almost. she's right. i'm

a former minister and republican from pennsylvania. you might not think where is this when i came to the the, you know what? she is, but whatever alarms switching teams, issues, policies, and voters from democrats or republicans and back, it's all ending up as a one big elephant in the room or a donkey. it's hard to tell any more. the michigan representative rashida to leave a palestinian american didn't seek support from pamela harris during a recent campaign event just days before the selection. instead, she urged union members to vote for other democratic candidates listed on the ballot. there are indications that muslim voters in michigan a case swing state could sway the election outcome. but according to a recent survey, muslims are not keen on voting for either the republican or democratic candidate, choosing other options. meanwhile, carmella harris is pulling out all the stops in the final hours of her campaign,

trying to sway people of all backgrounds to give her their vote. with the presidential contender was called out by cnn for presenting 2 different political narrative to american jews and era. holla, harris is targeting crucial battle ground voters with vastly different messages on gaza. and israel, what has happened in gaza over the past 9 months is devastating. we cannot allow ourselves to become num to the suffering and i will not be silent. let me be clear . i will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself for israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of israel must never again face so far that a terrorist organization called her mom, paused on october 7 stephen. so who knew a political commentator in chief editor of mid east this course as the survey

results stem from us policy is in the middle east. it's almost has been a, the past selections that the air from the muslims, the oldest vote for the democrats all has been like that. but this time, as they are not going to vote. and the last big time, the democrats, the voters of the, especially in michigan, the muslims, the, and the heralds because of the participation of the, by the ministration in the war against the does, it goes to people and then a put on and vision the side that yeah, been jimmy, nothing else is doing against through the i can split up and these are the finest things. uh, by the 1st football game. i see it for some need. they are going to vote more for trump. and that's for many reasons. one reasons they are fox is that murphy community, and they also, they are suffering from the account on any of the that the economy of the united

states. so they need the person who brings the economy and they don't want their money and the facts money going to forcing boards collect on your screen. and on the supporting is there is genocide. they can see people up because the ends up on . so the, and a trump keep him out and promise they know trump that does not support awards and the and he wants to concentrate on the astronomy and the building and, and the american mind. the only person who can bring the american economy back is from so these ones are going to be better. and at the same time, the met the and the muslim communities in the united states and he promised them and then use the term i'm going to in the chaos indemnities. and the war and gaza is of course, at the center of discussions, but the outcome of the elections is not seen as pivotal for israel. a young benjamin netanyahu was seen rog in how the country controls american politics as

far back as the 1980s. some of the trust of usa is not a unified blocks from goods. we have the senate, the congress and a very strong jewish lobby. on our side. we have a strong influence over the general support in america. america won't force us into anything more than one country with a long debated influence on american politics. is washington so called closest ally in the middle east, israel, and a recent patriot exchange on a british tv show between a guest and a former palestinian militants. turned is rarely to factor with close ties to real intelligence has read and i to discussions about just how fall that influence reaches. anyone who gets in the way. it doesn't matter where they are. even if they are put additions in the west, they are going to fall pulled on. did you hear what he just said? he's threatened politicians in the west that if they don't agree with israel's war against iran, that they are going to fall. and remember, he's in his really agent,

are you saying israel with murder politicians in the west or get rid of them politically, through bribery or whatever else? what do you mean? the politicians in the west more falls if they don't degree that to back israel's war guess or on the bulk of c. o, we have not, i have to bring them up to bring them down. those who agree with i am, how are you with the office? are these just strong words coming from one is really agent, or is there a solid foundation behind such bold warnings and the confidence that israel to get away with anything? nearly 2 decades ago, professor and john mearsheimer cool, also the israel lobby and you asked for an policy detailing the extensive regional pro is rel, groups on washington, his foreign policy. today, he says the asking funds remains as strong as ever. the major thing that's changed is that it's now price openly. we have this powerful lobby in the united states,

the israel lobby, that goes to great lengths. so to make sure that the united states supports is real unconditionally, you want to understand that word unconditionally really matters. what the lobby is interested in doing is pushing the united states to form is real, no matter what it does at the center of is really influenced is a pack, the american israel, public affairs committee, a powerful lobbying group that towards to build bi partisan support for the us israel relationship as it's official page goes back in pro, is world politicians both in the executive branch and in congress laws in that long ago, in the democratic caucus, including the leadership of the party. when they fight back said, jump would say how high it was printed reflects if i came to be bothered by that. and a lot of members with bothered a lot more members were bothered by that done cast votes that indicated that using

significant resources, a pack and gauges with members of congress, democrats, republicans, and independence. a like shaping policies that off favorable to israel. the room will be open lobby like a book, which basically agencies is really government which are constantly twisting the arms of people in congress. every party by me has an a pack person like that mean and they type person. it's like your babysitter, you're a pack babysitter who is always talking to you for a pack. they're probably a constituent in your district, but they are, you know, firmly embedded in a pack and every member has someone with us everywhere. i don't know how it works on the democrat side, but that's how it works on the republican side. and this influence has never come cheap with a controversial worrying guys. um, the price tag has only grown secure and suppose for what some call

a genocide. a war requires substantial funds and they want to create a situation where everybody lives in fear of being when i called carbonized. jeremy corbin was the labor leader in britain and he was critical of israel. and what the lobby in britain did was they waged a highly successful campaign to portray him as one of the worlds great. and by some lights. american policy makers live in fear that the lobby will target them and ruin their political career. american leaders have expressed concerns issued warnings and even condemned israel's actions. but so far it's been just talk with israel pressing forward on its own course from an american point of view. the best situation that could obtain in the middle east is one of peace and stability, so that the united states didn't have to pay much attention to the middle east of

the greater middle east and could focus instead on east asia. that's not happened. and this is just more evidence of the extent to which israel is a strategic liability for the united states. israel gets the united states in this case, spent a deep trouble in gaza, israel's prime minister benjamin antonia who wants to see the next american president allowing him to spread his military wings even further. and the supreme objective that i have set for the i d. f and the security services is to prevent iran from attaining nuclear weapons. halting the nuclear program has been and remains our chief concern. i have not taken. we have not taken a we will not take our eyes off. the subjective out of 2 candidates, former us president donald trump loops most suitable for making these really prime minister his plans come true. i think he's going to do what he wants to do, and i think he has to do that. you know, vitamin was giving him some very bad instructions, not to do anything and is you,

it was under great danger. if trump wednesday election, it would reflect that clear choice of american voters. but additionally, it may also underscore the level of influence of these really lobby and shaping us electoral results. washington's relentless pursuit of global hegemony is pushing the rest of the world to embrace multiple narrative, as according to russian foreign minister surveillance ross. what does that make on 6 the city when the americans and the such a large deal with international and regional problems? the think of only one thing to preserve the privilege position. it is obvious to most countries, the confrontations i've had them and as a harmful and do not solve any problems. as a result of increased foreign policy activities, the of known western countries, the role of regional and into regional interstate associations in africa,

asia and latin america is strength thing in the regime. these are primarily the sound call i call probation organization aussie on the arab league and so on. an important step towards multiple habits, you should be the stablish friends of direct contacts and horizontal links between all the structures, both among themselves and was breaks. the bus will come to his senses and wake up when it's realizes that it's colonial ways a home full, including for the west itself. let's 1st live down to our to correspondence saskia taylor for more on this is as good global multi pull already has been a keep team of discussions between russia and its partners. what else and 2nd line problem for me to have to say in a speech such a broad range of topics and not address from the space race to climate change to responsible use of technologies like a i. but as we just had really the big issue, the re calibration of the wild, old a lot for those who really is, is that the,

the multiple are to that with seeing rise through conversations like bricks, for example, that is a direct consequence of the west actions namely, it's inability to allow nations to live in silver in peace, free from political finance. so pressure or punishment now cools, this means that trust in western nations is being lost. the confidence is being on the mind and thought in tongue is directly translating, not just into the expansion of these regional groupings, but into the toner rise. they shouldn't, that is the, comes just use of not so cards. he's not the dollar in trade. now the foreign minister also took a might be enjoying colonialist practices of such an west and capitals, which he says really only conspire to stump the growth of developing nations. i'm filled with pockets of which ones he added that most go along with its partners. are absolutely committed to creating m e quote, was, was supposed to emphasize, and of course, it's not turning away from the west when it opens up what there were tons to

cooperation. it will have to be a little different lines. one of those lines, a genuine respect for the rules. so that's a couple years nimble. if that was to still try to gain you lot soul advantages for itself by any means necessary, including privatizing basic with terry itself. international organizations, such as the always the and the young people often ask or what will be the international legal basis for multiple advocacy. there's no need to look for the principles. they are all in the child to. the trouble is that these principles are never fully respected by all western partners. we consider it's a great that she has meant that at the break, some of the thing, cuz i'm in the declaration that was unanimously approved by the lead us. it was written specifically in connection with the training and prices that the goals and principals of the young child to in the entire, to an installation and not selectively must be respected as well. and there's lots

of disney, we hear this criticism that hypocrisy, riddles, west and politics. just one example from law for us. why was the self determination of the don't boss region deemed illegitimate? spike washington by brussels by london. but one cost of or back in 2008 unit naturally declared independence from supp. yeah. well, those same actors absolutely championed the decision. obviously the role in ukraine was raised, not feel free to just reiterating the criminal position, which is that, that the conflict is a direct result of the margin qu, in 2014. and then the kids constant to talk on anything and everything russian in the, in see what years and maybe if russia's security and trust had being respected from the start, that history would have unfolded differently very quickly at all. the conflict that was mentioned, of course,

goals and nothing. and i love those point was the washington's and trust that despite which talks about c, spies and to state solutions is only really to cement it's foothold in the region. but none of the supporting say, sheets, the arms manufacturers stateside warranties, nature, which is now pushing the confrontation with china and driving in a regional play is and it's a flight and stand off a road to know what, according to knob broth, so much more sad, but those were really the highlights, and i do think that even from those few moments that you get a sense of the overwriting message, which is the future is being built. and it's going to be built with different space and balances of power. and it's going to live by different fabric values to the ones that dominates it for the last few centuries on which really are the benefited a handful of countries worldwide. right. and our t correspondence has scaled taylor saskia. thank you. and what so the name,

amid deteriorating ties with the e. u rushes foreign ministry has re branded its departments of european cooperation into the department of european problems. the name of the department has only been changed on the russian version of the administrative official website. for now, it is they'll call the department of european cooperation in the english french end of german versions. you can read all about it on our website. r t dot com. but we're turning into little dover now. we're 90. 8 percent of ballots have been counted after sundays. presidential election run off. the opposition candidates. narrow lead has evaporated in favor of the incumbent. later, after nearly all votes were tallied current to pro western president, my assembly was leading with over 55 percent of all. her opponent, former prosecutor general, alexander, still an old lou has almost 45 percent. there's no final result yet,

announced sandy appealed to voters promising to be the president for all the letters, all the opposition later called on citizens to remain home regardless of the elections outcomes, which as i heard your voice and those who supported me. i pledge to be the president of all of you in our choice of a decent future. we may hold different points of view, speak different languages, but we all one piece, mutual understanding and a decent life for our children. we need to unite society. i urge everyone to remain calm regardless of the numbers. everyone's voice deserves respect, and democracy is above all majority before the result. i sincerely hope that from now on we will put an end to the hatred and division imposed on us. our 2 correspondent, i'm in charge, joins me now in the studio. the selection was a pivotal moment for politics in moldova, alongside the referendum has not been much reaction. western countries were very

quick and their reactions to indoors a. my son, the preaching the usual talking points. i mean, you know, democracies grades a heading towards a european future is the right way to go. and it's almost like to them. the only way to, to find a democracy is for the country to work towards joining a european future as they call it. it takes around a kind of strength to overcome the challenges you faced in this election. i'm planning to continue working with you towards a european future if i'm all day there and it's people i whole heartedly congratulate my son due on his victory in the presidential elections. mo, diamonds have shown once again the determination to build a european future despite hollywood attempt starting to mind democracy. democracy has triumphed over old interference in old maneuvers. france will continue to tune in alongside. we'll do the on your european pos. now it is interesting to note that

before the 2nd round of elections, 1st president or monument my call sent a message of the hoping to mullens any almost was in thing. and in directly tollen mullins, who to vote for, i mean, he calls that you a p and pad of freedom and democracy. however, that didn't really go well with the french patriots party who slammed him for trying to interfere in mold open elections. let's take a listen background has just publicly and officially called and told opens to vote in the 2nd round of their presidential election on sunday for pro e u. candidate maya san do. in reality, permanent interference, including through corruption and fraud, is systemic in the euro monte list camp. you know, all of this comes a mid multiple by repeatedly accusing russia of interfering in these elections. the kremlin has denied those accusations. so at this point, it seems that the only and interfere is that can happen is one that comes from countries that are not european ones, you know,

send who has been the president of the dias for, for her high share of votes among the buildings. a broad, we also saw that pattern and the 1st round tell us more about that now. voting numbers did show that most of mold those regions supported the opposition candidate wall sun do is a lead, was boosted by a boats from the dials for a broad. now while all of this volume of buildings within the country, it faced difficulties voting in their own country. i mean, the country is central authorities refused to open any pulling stations in the region of trans nestor. they that essentially forced mobiles to find ways to travel to other regions, to cast their votes. but then again, the bridge that would allow people to travel to other regions, what's temporarily closed twice on sunday. and that is allegedly to do to a bomb threat in varden needs that as well. polling stations were also suspended over yet another reported bomb threats. so it's very interesting here how people

will have to live in the country found so many almost made up obstacles to vote inside the country without the diaspora. people said no, in the referendum, 56 percent to 44 percent. we sold this data around midnight. then they started counting diasporas. we were told that around 250000 people voted. no one knows whether they were there or not. because we had our own representatives at each polling station. at times when these polling stations were empty, we saw a fictitious increase in turn out at foreign paulding stations on the central election committee website. so that's the overall picture here. the west is happily endorsing ascend, do well, russia is taking the blame for it and people are almost stripped off the rise to essentially vote yet. this is all part of the what they call democracy. yeah.
