at 3:15am andrew neil joined caused a big crowd on tuesday. m andrew neiljoined in the twitter discussion about the award—winning investigative journalist carol cadwallader, describing her as a madcap woman and calling her carol codswallop. after widespread criticism on social media he deleted the tweet later that day and the bbc press office issued this statement. that wasn't good enough for a number of newswatch viewers, two of whom recorded videos for us it's spinning wide. first. as an employee of the bbc, andrew neil is required to demonstrate impartiality. by the personal slur and by the use of the words codswallop he has joined that he is unable to be impartial about carol as a person. but he has also a more importantly implied that he is unable to be impartial about her work. that is my comment. given all of that, here is my question to the bbc. why is andrew neil still, air? andrew neil's tweet about carol cadwallader was deeply offensive and i have no doubt at all it was misogynistic, but i think it also raises some deeper concerns ab

as an employee of the bbc, andrew neil is required to demonstrate impartiality.r and by the use of the words "codswallop" he has shown that he is unable to be impartial about carole as a person. but he has also, more importantly, implied that he is unable to be impartial about her work. that is my comment. given all of that, here is my question to the bbc — why is andrew neil still on air? andrew neil's tweet about carole cadwalladr was deeply offensive and i have no doubt at all it was misogynistic, but i think it also raises some deeper concerns about the way in which neil in particular uses the bbc as a platform to promote his own views. i think it also raises questions about the bbc's culpability for its presenters' twitter feeds. the bbc claims that these are the personal views of the presenters, but there is no doubt that those people have thousands of followers on twitter because of their positions as a bbc presenter and present themselves as a bbc presenter in their profiles. the bbc needs to look very carefully at the personal opinions expressed in publi

neil: okay. andrew: okay? ing to open myself up to you if you're willing to open yourself up to me. neil: okay. andrew: do you want to shake hands? neil: yes. amber: i think andrew, honestly, in his weird, messed up way, i think andrew really did care for neil. i just think it was... lemonis: he had a funny way of showing it. amber: ...he just had a very funny way of showing it. lemonis: yeah, i agree with that. andrew: i am exhausted. after la dogworks opened, so many people came up to me and said, "you did it." everybody pitched in, everybody pulled their weight, i mean, it was really a beautiful thing. somewhere, things fell apart after that. lemonis: who are the employees, if you had to guess, who are the employees you think you've hurt the most emotionally, in reflection? andrew: [ sniffles ] lemonis: i want you to reconcile with the people that matter. andrew: absolutely. amber: at this moment, you probably thought, "okay, i'm here for a reason. like, i'm getting to this guy." lemonis: it was a bit of a h

after andrew neil deletes a controversial tweet about a female journalist, has the bbc got a problem? first, a week of high drama in westminster began with a challenge forjournalists. it was clear that something important was about to happen, but no one quite knew what that was. this was how political correspondent chris mason responded on monday morning's breakfast. so, where are we in this brexit process? people like me are paid to have insight and foresight and hindsight about these things and be able to project where we are going to go. to be quite honest, looking at things right now, i don't have the foggiest idea what will happen in the coming weeks. will the prime minister get a deal with the eu? i don't know. will she get it through the commons? i don't know about that either. you might as well get mr blobby back on to offer his analysis because i think his will probably be as good as mine. don't do yourself down, chris mason! was that an embarrassing admission of defeat or a welcome outbreak of honesty? it may have been pseudo—analysis, but in the absence of mr blobby, bbcjo

a statement that: well, let's talk about the interview which did take place withjohn neil, the editor of the andrewmarr show, why did you decide to interview aaron banks last sunday? aaron banks made the single biggest donation in british political history to the unofficial leave campaign, and on tuesday, the electoral commission published a six page document which set out questions that it still thinks needs answering about where the money came from aaron banks passed on to leave.eu, and then on thursday, the national crime agency announced they were undertaking a criminal investigation into these details, so on sunday there was a clear public interest in doing that interview, and it is a news story and we're a news programme and it's an obvious interview for us to want to do. of course this was after we knew he was under investigation by the national security agency, who look into serious and organised crime, is it right for the bbc to have decided to interview him under those circumstances? i can see why people are concerned about this. i mean, absolutely i think it is, so, first of all if we de

a statement that: well, let's talk about the interview which did take place withjohn neil, the editor of the andrewelectoral commission published a 6—page document which set out questions that it still thinks needs answering about where the money came from aeron banks passed on to leave.eu, and then on thursday, the national crime agency announced they were undertaking a criminal investigation into these details, so on sunday there was a clear public interest in doing that interview, and it is a news story and we're a news programme and it's an obvious interview for us to want to do. of course, this was after we knew he was under investigation by the national crime agency, who look into serious and organised crime. is it right for the bbc to have decided to interview him under those circumstances? i can see why people are concerned about this. i mean, absolutely i think it is. so, first of all if we deal with the legal side of it, so arron banks has denied any wrongdoing all the way along, he has never been charged or arrested with any crime so proceedings aren't active, so there's no legal impedim

a tight sete race in florida, bill neil nielsen 0 governor the governor scott, running for senate, those race got enormous attention because both ina florwith andrew gillam and stacey abrams we are talking about african-american candidates running very strongly and in particularly the case of abrams if she wins with e will be the first black female governor anywhere ever in the united states, so everyone will be looking at that one >> thompson: i understand that a little bit later in evening you will be looking at races in the northeast >> a couple of weeks ago we reported here ants the troublats oderate republicans are having in the suburbs and donald trump is the head wind they are facing, is so in new yor pennsylvania, new jersey combined have about ten races that could flip, that's almost half of what the democrats need to take the house. so if you see, i am being very specific if you see leonard lance, five term congressmany from new jerse that is trouble for the republicans, if you see peter king, a 25 year veteran from long island lose now you are talking about not av but a tsunami >> turning to the midwest there are a lot of key senate rac

andrew gillum. we know that gillum conceded but i took these notes, neil. according to a political scientist with the university of florida a big election watcher there they have a big department , more than 13,000 male ballots returned on election day, had issues that may effect the outcome of that race. okay going further west, so to arizona. hundreds of thousands of ballots yet to be tallied, so congresswoman actually has a slight read now over congresswoman martha mcsally it's around 2,000 votes so close , georgia republican republican brian kemp as we know declaring victory in the governors contest against democratic stacey abrams. that georgia race is under so much scrutiny because of secretary of state kemp is the state's top election official voting rights groups some democrats accuse kemp of using his position to block minority votes and strongly denied the accusations and abrams vowing to pursue litigation to make sure every single vote is counted so some races still outstanding, neil looks like a few rough weeks ahead back to you. neil: could you

andrew gillum. that is the state of florida. we also continue to watch the great state of arizona as well. close there as well, neil.zona kirsten sinema now ahead of mcsally by a mere 2,000 votes. a lot to keep following. the races are not over. >> neil: no, they're not to put it mildly. thanks very much. so looking at this broward county ballot, how could this happen? especially in a state where they want things simple. it's not very simple. we'll show you the details in just a second. supervisor, very good to have you joining us. >> hi, neil. how are you doing? >> neil: do we have confusion running rampant here? a lot of people were telling me, some of these counties, broward, palm beach, that the ballots went on and on and own. both parties write off on it. they only have themselves to blame if they're complaining now. but that a lot of people were confused. is that a fair assessment? >> well, any time you have long list of amendments and exacerbated in broward county but they have to do ballots in english, spanish and haitian makes their ballots extra long. any time you have that number of complicated amendments

neil: bottom line, the voters in florida, let's hope it changes, cat, if elected ron desantis their give nor, will be over andrew gillum and it looks, it looks that rick scott will be going to washington to replace senator nelson, and i'm wondering if because of the closeness of both races, if there's a poll on this and is that right or fair? >> is what right or fair? neil: just that we're always going to question the winner. >> yeah, i think so and florida has been close all the time. that's what happens it's a swing state which is why florida should be prepared that maybe it's going to be kind of close and maybe there might have to be a recount. they have a bunch of overheated old voting machines that can't handle these recounts, you need to be prepared for a situation like this. if there's problems in another state it's not that big of a deal as big of a deal but florida is a state where we're always looking what's going to happen in florida it's a swing state anything could happen it's going to be close . this isn't like this came out of nowhere and they couldn't anticipate it. its happened before and do you

andrew gillum won primary with bernie sanders endorsement. will either of them be a boost or drag to the senate candidate from their party? neil. >> neil: thank you, very much. this could be tale of two evenings in the senate, things could wrap up early, we'll have an idea relatively early. the house, another matter. peter bolton on why that could be the case. >> this is our evening ahead, we'll do the follow the programming, less than three hours away until the first polls close. we want to take you through the key races, most of the ones we'll show are senate races. first polls closing 6 p.m. in kentucky, parts of indiana, of course as we know from indiana, only state with two time zones, healthcare a huge issue in that state. democrat joe donnelly, the incumbent trying to hold off challenger businessman mike braun. close race that could start to shift the weight in the senate. 7 p.m., we'll be more focused on indiana, we mentioned, of course, georgia, as well, that gubernatorial race a little bit more interesting than any others. secretary of state brian kemp really facing off against progressive former state rep stacie abr

neil: so sounds like you given up on the president making inroad with african-americans. andrewm in the tight battle to become the next governor of florida. says that the president provides cover for racists. he that uses a lot of code words. that his republican challenger does as well. what do you make of that? >> well, look, i think the president framed it properly last night. he said this is a, he has aggressively tried to nationalize the election and make it about a choice, between continued economic greatness and a robust working environment for all americans, whether they be black or white, latino, asian, versus, gridlock. if in fact you elect a democrat house of representatives, you will throw us back into regressive gridlock. that is the way the president has to, has to frame it. because they will work over time, to define him as, as a racist. i don't think he is given up. i think he is trying to point out black, brown, yellow folks, you know into looking at what his agenda, what the republican agenda has done in terms of, making our economy grow, creating work opportuni

andrew brunson held in turkey a couple years. released last month. sanctions slapped bense top turkish officials now being pulled off. neil. neil: blake, thank you. the white house is busy next few days going up to the election day. so is connell mcshane. he is taking a look obviously what the president wants to do in indiana and west virginia, if he can flip the senate seats in both states. obviously whatever risk might be in the house would be sort of reversed in the senate. that is what he is hoping at least, right? >> that is definitely what he is hoping for, neil, doesn't from the republican point of view need to do that. show you in the what-if map from the senate side. two seats republican was love to flip, keep in the back of your head as you lead up to our coverage on tuesday night, these are not must-wins for republicans. with all of that said, let's dig into both states taking a look at the state of west virginia which is a state logically speaking with the incumbent democrat joe manchin running against patrick morrissey the republicans think they could take. the reason, look all the states where democratic incumbents running for re-el

reporter: neil, one down, one to go on races we're following in national level at least in florida. to your point ron desantis declared victory. even though andrew gillum has not conceded it appears at this point desantis is poised to become the governor of the state. after they wrapped up the machine recount he had a lead of 34,000 votes. that is outside of the .25% that prompt as manuel recount. that should be that. the senate race is within that margin. it is not decided. the machine recount helped the republican scott, a very little bit. he added a grand total of 41 votes to his lead. that lead stands just over 12,600 votes. there are a couple of counties, broward and palm beach missed a deadline yesterday. their totals reverted back to what they submitted on saturday. anyway we're moving into the manuel recount now. they're in the midst of it. the deadline is sunday. election officials are reviewing thousands of overvotes and undervotes. they're looking at ballots that maybe have too many selections or too few in the senate race. then they have to try to determine the intent of the voter which is where things can get interesting. if there i

andrew gillum and stacy abrams in florida and georgia. georgia 6, for instance, where car ren handle sis jon ossoff which is shifting to jon ossoff. democrats could add to wins leaning republican. neil: from the 2016 election, john, early on donald trump racked up a much bigger victory than thought in indiana. a republican always wins there, but it was off the charts big. later on with west virginia, similar sign. i guess two years later what do you look for? what do your colleagues look for could spell good news for republicans or a long night? >> well very may be a long night because a lot of the seats that we're looking might be in play are on the west coast. we're looking in orange county, california, where these are traditionally red seats as seats go. neil: by 10:00 you will have gotten through much, you should have an idea whether that even matters. >> you're right. i will be watching florida closely. if florida goes, if kentucky, if kentucky goes, some key seats there, that is an indicator. at this point though, polls are not predictive as far as i'm concerned because you're looking at all the races, they are margin of error races. could go either way. neil: 33 within the ma

neil: guys thaw all very very much obviously a lot of pop ticking going on on the part of the president and the vice president speaking of whom will be leaving joint base andrews shortly i believe he's headed out to wisconsin campaigning for scott walker and others, as a republican sense in those battleground states as was the case just two years ago, the numbers do not show what they see, a surge, after this. a once-in-five hundred year storm should happen every five hundred years, right? fact is, there have been twenty-six in the last decade. allstate is adapting. with drones to assess home damage sooner. and if a flying object damages your car, you can snap a photo and get your claim processed in hours, not days. plus, allstate can pay your claim in minutes. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? neil: all right it's called a migrant caravan and we do know that it's actually four groups big, we do know that it has anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000 migrants as part of it we don't know the makeup of it a whose who in that group we do know the president has made it a leading issue here in this race. rick leventhal is in texas with the latest on that
