republican counties and the biggest increases in maricopa county which houses phoenix as well as tucson. we are seeing rural areas and urban areas, a lot of immigration to arizona internationally and in the united states, domestic migration. and a growing portion of the electorate identifies as hispanic or latino. all these things are helping arizona switch from a reliably red state to purple. host: battleground arizona is our topic today in the battleground series, it is a weeklong series and we will see it tomorrow as well. i want to focus on arizona. democrats call in at (202) 748-8000, republicans at (202) 748-8001, independence -- independents at (202) 748-8002 and one for those in arizona, we want to hear from you, (202) 748-8003. samara klar from the university of arizona is our guests. as folks call in, for our viewers, the viewers of election results when they start coming in next tuesday, what should they know about the state of arizona? where will the results come in? how quickly and how do you watch on election night? guest: i prepare myself at least a couple days before off

>> yeah, and we got a large number of votes just out of pima county that's the tucson area tonight, and tha's extended mark kelly's lead to almost 100,000 votes. the big county that we're waiting on now, maricopa, the phoenix area. that's where we're talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. as you can see, david, that county went for mark kelly, but it is a battleground county. and because so many of those votes were late arriving, a lot of them were republicans who were dropping off their ballots on election day. so, it's possible that that lead narrows as the counting continues. >> all right, and rick, in nevada tonight, republican adam laxalt with a slim lead over democratic incumbent senator catherine cortez masto. but we were talking, given where the votes are still being counted here, this race could still get much closer. >> yeah, that's a 15,000, 16,000-vote edge and taking about 100,000 votes out of the reno area, as well as las vegas, clark county. this is a democratic stronghold. these are where democrats traditionally pick up big numbers. and we are told there are about

who's a former diplomatic executive director at the pima county. democratic party is joining us from tucson in the state of arizona. thank you very much for being with us. the arizona, as we know became a hot spot for election misinformation in the wake of the 2020 presidential race 2 years on. it's the merge as a key battle ground for support. as a former president, trump and founded claims at the pool was marked by fraud. tell us, 1st, if you can, how the races in your state are shaping up so far. right. so as you know, are there is no we have one of the sites of us senate races here with senator mark kelly running for a full terms to serve and mark john mccain the. we also have races across the board for governor attorney general secretary of state and we expect these races to come down to the wire. last time they're decided by the margin of about $10000.00 and both re fax it to be as close the closer the time around. and i just have to say that i've spent the last month or so knocking on doors canvassing for my for my candidates. and we did not see a single republican candidate there in

out here as rob reynolds reports from tucson in the state of arizona and some of the tightest races in weston, united states. 3 races here in the west could determine which party controls the us senate in arizona. mark kelley, the incumbent democratic senator, a former astronaut, is running against blake masters, a wealthy venture capitalist in colorado, sen michael bennett, a democrat, is in a tight race against joe day. one of the few republicans who has distanced himself from former president donald trump, perhaps the tightest raced of all is in nevada, where catherine cortez moscow. the 1st and only latino woman to serve in the us senate is a razor thin race against adam lac, solve the member of a prominent political family in that state. millions and millions of dollars are being poured into these races. early voting has been heavy and the outcome may not be known for days or even weeks after election day. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could join me live kimberly last day of campaigning. that means the last few hours for both sides to change undecided voters minds. t

a million votes that are still outstanding and a lot of them are in the phoenix area and down in tucson. mark kelly has been leading in these areas, but that is such a large amount of vote. and what's interesting about these, these are early ballots that actually arrived on the later side, so, it's possible they could favor the republicans, but you'd have to see a rather large margin for blake masters, 15-plus percentage point margin for him to prevail. >> in 2 meantime, in mark kelly holds on, say in arizona, this is a hypothetical, and adam laxalt holds on in nevada, that would mean this once again all comes down to georgia in this runoff? >> yep, georgia, georgia, georgia. right now, as you can see in the results, herschel walker down a little bit to raphael warnock, but those numbers won't matter. the voting starts over in four weeks time. >> all right, rick klein, thank you. you'll be here until we have the answers, i'm sure. >>> in the meantime tonight, president trump, the former president acknowledging today that he had a disappointing night with the candidates he endorsed. here

we spoke to robert kelly and associate professor at tucson national university in south korea. he says the decision to release damage is suggest kim's daughter may become north korea, next leader, north korea monarchy. right? it's ruled by the kim family and there been 3 events with the 3rd one. we anticipate that if the current kim were to pass away, that the leadership were passed to a blood relative. now it's never been the case. it's rarely the case and i'll talk or see that you have succession go from a male to female. so open daughter is actually the chosen one that would actually be service. i'm pretty unique moment, but still my sense is that's probably some of the political backdrop for this right decision began to show that kim has a family and that these, the people who would, would take over if, if you were to pass ways were pointing out that you had health care in the past? me pretty obese. obviously he's a heavy smoker and this is how his father passed away to from health crisis from his alcoholism. and so my guess is that there's a concern inside the regime that

he's a professor international relations of tucson national university. welcome to al jazeera so significant says all of this and especially that one of the north korean launches fell close to territorial water and south of the northern limit line for the 1st time ever. yeah, that last is a pretty big deal because it's suggested the north koreans are being a little bit more reckless. they shouldn't surprise us too much, nor corrections history. a reckless behavior of the missile launch, which man, for example, last month, you know, about a decade ago, the current leader in norfolk came down with the news brother in law using a w. m d, and an airport in se, asia. so north transaction, history of this kind of stuff, drug running and things like that, right? i'm on the missile test. they have been, i suppose you have a relatively restrained and that they've not actually been of land near south korea . and so that is a step up. i don't actually think this means like a conference or anything is, is coming, but they are pretty obviously upset about the u. s. so

m out ben glare, who have gained momentum in recent months. bernard smith has more from west tucson . so far turn out is about 28 percent of the highest. it's been in 23 years in israel, but to turn out across the whole country. but we also now know the turn out just in palestinian israeli communities, is only a 12 percent. now it's been a fairly truncated campaign period because we have a series of holidays in the run up to the elections. i think the only really got going in the last couple of weeks and the general view was that people will fairly apathetic because they've already had 4 election to go through. and this is the 5th one in less than 4 years. but nevertheless, the outcome of this election will be really consequential for the future of israel . you have the support of benjamin netanyahu, who wants him to win because a win for him and the right will sure up they say the jewish nature of the state of israel. that is what the far right believes they want to do. they believe that having an hour, a party in the coalition that lasted just about a year with dangerous, but then d

the robert county is a professor of international relations at tucson national university. he says, north korea is being reckless. this surprises too much, nor cracks has a history, a reckless behavior under miss launch or japan. for example, last month, you know, about a decade ago, the current leader in norfolk came down with the news brother in law using a w. m d and an airport in se, asia, so north transaction history of this kind of stuff, drug running and things like that, right on the missile test. they have been, i suppose it's a relatively restrain and that they've not actually sort of land near south korean . so that is a step up. i don't actually think this means like a conference or anything is, is coming, but they will get worse because the north koreans just aren't going to stop. and this is really the core problem, right? i mean, every couple weeks, every few months in the past or something, but now they're going to be like a nuclear test before the end of the year. right? i mean, all of the sort of adds to the threat potential at some point there's going to
