This is al jazeera ah, i need barker. This is the al jazeera news, our life in london coming up. Americans votes in crucial midterm elections that would determine who controls congress and could define the rest of jo bidens presidency. Top a vote as mines high inflation and democracy with hundreds of election deny is among the republican candidates. Ah, celebrations is 89. 00 migrants are allowed to disembark from one boat in italy, but another ship heads for france. After the 234 people who rescued or deny pulled and we continue all count down to cut off 2022. Can guarantee fail. Help whales make an impact on their 1st will come since 1958 ah. We begin to the United States where people are casting their ballots in the crucial midterm elections, which could see the democrats lose control of congress are pending. The rest of jo bidens presidency at stake are all 435 seats in the house of representatives. Where the current democratic majority is just 8. 35. 00 of the senates a 100 seats are being contested. Right now theyre evenly divided. So a change of control and just one see, could put the republicans in charge. 36 states, or electing governors and 27, never electing their secretary of state. Who in most places is the official in charge of elections a courting to the brookings institution. 345 candidates on the ballot back. Donald trumps false claim that the 2020 president ial election was flawed, which means of course, people who rejected the last president ial election could end up in charge of running. Its next one, or we call to correspondent, so who we are going to go to very shortly. She every time c, capitol hill, kimberly how kits at the white house 1st a she have though, and as were saying she have to the 3rd of the senate up for grabs the whole of the house of representatives. This could well be something of her decide her as to whether or not by didnt becomes a lame deck president. Yeah, i think actually even the most optimistic of Democratic Party projection suggests that the party will lose the house. You need the house and the senate supposed legislation. So unless theres some enormous bipartisan agreement its, its going to be very difficult for the president to push through his legislative agenda. That doesnt mean there, but he doesnt have a great deal of Power Discretionary powers that we over foreign policy. And as long as the Senate Remains in play and that is the point now, it is still in play. The president still does have power over which additional appointments regulate 3 appointments are all very, very, very important. In fact, the democrats will say, look, we have the business up in the senate and play really because in the mid terms, within the economy like this and with such an unpopular president , we should be completely shocked to use for obama as term for when he got shall act actually in his, in his mid term elections about suggest the that the resonance of message about democracy being on the ballot. I think probably more so the issue of abortion and the whole point about the mid terms, the strategy of the mid terms is to shake your base out of any complacency, get them to the polls. Its all about turn out. And in addition with the abortion really get suburban white women, perhaps those who might have been tempted to vote republican to say, wait enough, is enough. We have to have our voices heard to as long as the Senate Remains and play. Yeah, there is still some hope, its all about the turn out now because she have a democracy, has to run its cool stuff and in but took her through the possible configurations of both houses. Well, joe biden settle on monday if the republicans were to take both for house the senate. It would be a horrible 2 years. But i would imagine if the republican simply take the house, its not gonna be a terribly pleasant to yours for president biden. The republicans already said theyre going to do what the democrats did to donald trump when the democrats took for house as far as that concerned, we just go off to him. About his investigation for investigation, and joe, joe biden said he feels about possible impeachment after joe biden, son hunter, biden. There all sorts of questions about his business dealings, how hes using influence with joe biden to, to, to make money. But also into the having a coven, 19 into anthony foul tree, the scientific advisor to both trump and biden b withdrawal stuff kinda stuff. So lots of investigations mean, of course, if the senator is gone as well, then you can imagine that the stereo with it, with investigative committees looking at at every aspect of, of, of biden, at his administration. Im generally going up any legislative and activity as lots of spam, tim issues or concerns. I think the fear will be that the republicans will go off the regulation. One of the good spots of bidens term has been environmental regulation, labor regulation, protecting workplace rights. That might be in jeopardy, but also the main issue, i think, will be the republicans using their leverage. Perhaps over must pass legislation like funding the government to say, all right, well help you pass this, but we got to cut social security. We go to the social safety net, the medic, medical safety net, and the realtor is about that not least because the Democratic Party wants to do the same. All right, for now she had many thanks over to the white house now where kimmy, how good is standing by and why didnt has the strength multiple times that this is a midterm, where democracy, the very heart of the all important American Institution is at stake, is this a message though that is landed with voted energized voices to get out and vote given the sort of loftiness of the issue you would hope, but that has not been the case. In fact, what seems to be driving people to the polls, according to most surveys, is the economy and record high inflation. In fact, that is the number one issue that seems to be motivating voters and particularly older voters. So Younger Voters that tend to trend toward the Democratic Party in some cases are staying home and that is bad news for the Democratic Party. And just to give you kind of a sense of what it feels like here at the white house right now, its a bit of a somber mood. The White House Pool is a good night in for the evening. That means the president is not going to be coming out any more, as we understand that hell be, will be watching, returns come in with the senior advisers. But we dont expect to hear from him. So it gives you a sense of kind of how things are feeling and the president himself acknowledged to just about 24 hours ago when he returned from campaigning. But if the house does go to the republicans, which is not his party, the president is a democrat, this is going to be very difficult for him to get anything done for the remainder of his term. So the president typically is kind of an Eternal Optimist for him to acknowledge that really is kind of settling in the reality that things are not looking good at the polls for the Democratic Party. And kimberly, given how tight the races are likely to be in multiple stage, does it raise the prospect of the results being contested . Again, it certainly is looking that way and already you kind of see the table being sat by a lot of the politicians around the country who are already making the case and verbally that this is going to take some time to tally. Given the fact that we are seeing a number of legal challenges already being launched, 100 and counting. And this is, has a lot to do with the male in balloting process that is relatively new to the United States since covered 19 of where people didnt feel comfortable voting and person. And this has been here to stay and this is really opened up for those to challenge the results not just legally, but also there are sort of verifiable. Nist, the nature of it, that they are many election deniers now who backed into the 2 years ago didnt accept the results of the election, of may not do so again. And so this is also opened up the threat of political violence. And so this is what is most disconcerting to those that are watching this unfold at once again to circle back to your original question about the president democracy on the ballot. This is certainly something that is at stake, but again, it doesnt seem to be on the forefront in the minds of most americans casting their vote today. All right, kimberly, how can the white house she have a tendency on capital hill may, thanks to both of you. Well, polls suggest the u. S. Economy is the top concerned for most voters rentals reports from tucson in the swing state of arizona, when Many Americans are struggling to cope with rising inflation. In tucson, arizona inflation is made father of to justin littles grocery shopping. A lot more complicated. Whenever we plan our meals, we usually go to unfortunate go to the meet for to see whats on sale, and then its gonna have to go from there. So it always kinda depends on what is affordable terms, depends on what you read, your part where you feel like you have no choice, but to go to the Grocery Store and her slater inflation is running at an annual rate of 8. 2 percent nationwide. And even worse here in arizona where in some cities the rate is 13 percent. Its not just about food, especially with gas prices. Its, its crazy i used to for my tank with like 20 backs. Now its 40 Senior Citizen, lannie betz, who lives on a fixed income is tightening his belt drive. Literally when it comes to food, were doing our right, losing a little bit of weight. So thats a positive thing to look at. Inflation is dominating the Political Landscape with republican candidates, hammering their democratic opponents, claiming they are to blame for the price of food fuel and the cost of renting a home portals consistently show that inflation and the state of the economy is the number one concern of voters all across the country, the high cost of living is likely to be the issue that determines the outcome of the mid term elections. Analysts say inflation worries are hurting democrats in swing states like arizona and the inflation nationally is a huge issue for voters. And if youre a Senior Citizen living on a fixed income, watching your rent go up or watching your grocery bill go up watching your gas bill, go up that, that some of your definitely think about when you get your ballot, you fill it out. Americans political future could hinge, at least in part on something as mundane as the price of peanut butter. Rob reynolds, al jazeera, tucson, arizona, or i will. Lets take a look now at 2 of the battleground states. The could determine who controls congress at the moment. Well hear from gabriel. I was on there in pennsylvania, but 1st lets cross over to John Henderson and atlanta, georgia. And john, why is georgia so crucial in this midterms . Wont georgia could decide which Party Controls the u. S. Senate . We know that because they did it last time around 2 years ago. This typically republican state, up to that time in recent history, elected to democratic senators, and that put the democrats over the top last time. And to give you an idea of just how intense this race is, its within one percentage point according to most poles, and about a quarter of a 1000000000. 00 has been spent in advertising on this race. You cannot escape it here in this state to the races between rafael warnock. He is the 1st black senator of the state of georgia. Hes also a pastor who preachers at Ebenezer Baptist church. That is where the reverend Martin Luther king preached, and hes running against Herschel Walker. Now walker is a former university of georgia football star, very popular in the state, and they are neck and neck. Despite the fact that throughout this campaign at walker has been hit by one revelation after another, he is anti abortion. At to women have said that he had pressured them to have an abortion. He has said that African American men to be closer to their families. But it was revealed over the course of the campaign that he had one to. And then finally, 3 elected illegitimate children who he has not remained in contact with. So the advertisements have been heavy. Theres been a lot of negativity in them. There has been one from the Walker Campaign targeting warnock. It brings up an old incident where his wife had accused him of running over her foot in the car. So its really heavy and intense. And ga is, is a state where they will, they can elect democrats, but they tend to like them conservative. So walkers line on this has been that were not, is voting in lockstep with joe biden. His argument is that hes too liberal. He has voted about 96 percent of the time with bite and, and warner argument is that Herschel Walker is a man. You cant believe that hes not fit for office and that hes not prepared. My colleague, mike had put together a story, previewing this race. Take a look. The African Americans are the Fastest Growing boating block in georgia. Now nearly 40 percent of the states electorate. Thats an increase of some 7 percent into decades. The other minority communities are growing as well. And the shifting demographics had much to do with the traditionally red state, turning blue. The people like pasta andre osborne, a working to build on 20 twentys gains, having the right type of energy in an election. Thats not a president ial election, is incredibly important. So were trying to encourage people to vote every time, but voting regulations have changed significantly since 2020, stung by their losses. The republicans governing the state passed the senate bull 2 o 2. Which among other restrictions requires voters to provide a picture id at the polling place. There is certainly of movement to limit or drastically reduce the voice of the people by minimizing the impact of their vote. But the new law also expands early voting, which may have a result the frame as didnt intend. It really depends on how Voters Decide to turn out this year. Do they decide to vote absentee . In that case, the law would restrict them if they decide to come out and vote in person and do early voting, the law may actually help them and be on their side. The Crucial Senate race sees the incumbent democrat, Raphael Warnock up against the trump in doors to former american football star, Herschel Walker, Whose Campaign has been marked by allegations of domestic violence. And the claim that the anti abortion advocate actually paid for a partners abortion. I thank every, both the her forget is of law against minded by not like him in the theres more somebody to let see. The main thing is to defeat republicans and keep them out of power. Ultimately, the result will be determined by the size of the turn off at the polls. The larger the boat, the greater the possibility of a Democratic Party when the reality is simple. If the democrats do not win in georgia, they will in all likelihood, lose control of the house, end of the senate. And that will be an answer to republican pres, my kana august era savannah. And john, given how tie things i, if neither of the candidates wins more than 50 percent of the votes of the Georgia Senate race could be heading toward a run off. What without me well this could indeed be the last race to be decided for that very reason. If you dont get 50 percent of the vote, there is a run off in this case that happens in december. So we would have to go through this all over again, and you could bet big money from both parties would continue to be flooding in here in georgia, and that would flood the airwaves. And i can tell you from the few georgians i have talked to about that. That is not something that they would welcome, but we may not hear the answer tonight. As a matter of fact, there is a fair chance that will happen because there is a 3rd Party Candidate whos getting a small percentage of the vote. But in all the polls ive seen so far, neither Herschel Walker nor Raphael Warnock gets 50 percent john 100 in atlanta. Many thanks. Well, another key battleground state, as we were saying earlier, is pennsylvania. Gabriel elizondo is live in pittsburgh and gave weve had a lot of the big hit is that we trump obama and biden, all campaigning in pennsylvania. Why is the election battle this so crucial . Well, its of course, a swing state and a both parties need this senate seat in order to get their path to victory to control the senate. But as john henry, my colleague said, its the same in george as well. So what makes this state so much different . A host of things, but primarily it is a very complex state. Its considered one of the more politically complex states anywhere in america for many different reasons. Its just so equally divided between republicans and democrats. In some parts, the state you have areas that are completely deep read states and other areas like urban areas like pittsburgh, where im at now. And philadelphia, those are more urban areas with it go towards democrat. So because of this, the elections here are usually very, very close in 2020 president ial election. There are 6600000 ballots cast. And here in this state, joe biden beat donald trump by near just 80000. So gives you an idea how every single vote really counts here in pennsylvania. Thats why both candidates, the republican celebrity a doctor and tv host, a method on the republican side. And john fetter min, on the democrat side, Lieutenant Governor are fighting so hard for every vote. Here and gabriel, even before election day, theres been legal wrangling over mailing ballots and distrust over the entire democratic process. Yeah, thats right. 01. 1000000 pennsylvanians have already voted by mail. Okay. And in order for those ballots to be valid, according to the rules here, the voter needs to write the dates on the on envelope, which is sort of a, its part of the rules. Well, yesterday Election Officials said that there were several 1000 dont have an exact number, but a number in the thousands of valid still did not have the date written on them by the voters. And so a local judge, a state judge said those ballots have to be thrown out well over night. John fedor, mon, the democrat, his campaign i found an injunction and as asking a federal judge to overturn that ruling, he saying thats not fair. All of these ballot should be counted, they are valid ballots. Its just a technicality without the date on the, on zillow. Why is he fighting for these ballots in these votes so strongly . Its because out of the 1100000 male in ballots, about 70 to 75 percent are from democrat. So theyre gonna probably overwhelmingly support federal men. Thats why hes a file this injunction with the federal court to have those ballots counted. Were waiting to hear from a judge on how they rule on this. It could actually even be tomorrow. So it could be a very late night here in pennsylvania. We might not know a winter until wednesday, maybe even thursday or i gabriel many thanks. La gabriel. I was on day live in pittsburgh i coming up on this news al from london has thousands on so the dfcs cool to join the fight against m. 23 rebels, the military bombs, the groups positions, and russian installed authorities in the hudson region say theyve completed the evacuation of residents ahead of an anticipated offensive by ukraine. Ah, the rescue ship with 234 migrants on board is heading to france, hoping to be given safe port there. After being refused entry by italys new far right government. But italy has allowed migrants from 3 other charity boats, disembark, including hundreds who were barred earlier because the government deemed them not vulnerable. Tony burly reports from the Sicilian Porter cataneo a cry for help, which had gone unheard by a right wing Italian Government for 4 days. In sylium port of catania, hundreds of refugees and Asylum Seekers had been stranded. Aboard vessels after being rescued in danger, sees and refused permission to enter the country because they were not deemed as being vulnerable. Then a group went on Hunger Strike. In that theyre not going to eat until theyre leaving this vessel. They understood that they need to be sick to enter the european union. And they said, were going to be sick if thats needed. The german registered the humanity, one and geo brents from norway have a total of 250. 00 migrants on board. Theyve been in port for 4 days. During the middle of the night, a 3rd boat, the rise above with 93. 00 migrants, was allowed to docking calabria further up the coast. Surprised about 5 days at sea now. 3 rescue persons. And since 5 days had a big challenge, stormy, went outside people with now finally, they been allowed to disembark, but its unclear if theyll be allowed to stay a 4th boat. The ocean viking carrying 234. 00 people, mostly africans, and women, and children is heading to france after being refused permission to n italy. There were small signs earlier in the day the government of georgia maloney was beginning to soften. It stands on tuesday, immigration police, or medical teams were seen boarding, the gio brents for interviews and health jacks. The captains of the ships had refused a Government Order to leave port. They say they will only leave once all have been allowed to enter italy. Italians are divided over the migrants issue. Over the centuries, sicily has gone rich because of the sea. People here know what it can bring and the terror it can inflict terror that migrants know all too well. They dont load it with them. I think the government to think about us italians and send them my guns back home. European. So they shouldnt be kept on that boat. They should be allowed off. Its not right. The africans are off bridle boy. Wow. George maloney was elected on a promise of migrant crackdown. Shes been silent over the count issue, but in the katana headquarters of her brothers for italy, party, which ones house ma salinas fascists. In the 2nd world war, they believe their leader is doing the right thing. Your pencil can the dallas f agenda will, italy is during what of the european nations or during like in france or spain or cyprus and walter. The defense of the border and the legal entry of migrants is not about political right or left. Its about National Interest but there is strong support for those seeking a safer and better life. It seems that the Italian Government may be slowly back tracking on its hard line migrant stand. And there appears to be signs of divisions within the administration about just how to handle this situation. At a time when most italians are more focused on a cost of living crisis than people escaping poverty, tony berkeley, algeria, cataneo port sicily, a russian appointed official, a new cranes curse on regions says the Mass Evacuation of civilians has ended. But the Ukrainian Government has described the movers force deportation is, forces are continuing their advance to re take control of the region more of your form upwards. As you would know for fe, any people who left to right bank part of caution region for the left bank are in a safer condition. The evacuation is over, where people may now leave individually if they play via the hotline. But i repeat, they must do it individually as of today. With a said bake has morphin, creepy ry infantry ukraine. Well, weve been hearing about the evacuation for a while. The russian president Vladimir Putin as endorse evacuation, but i did recreation, but theres been extra import us over the last few days just because both sides have accused each other. Ive talked to that down further up river, both sides of accused each other of wanting to blow it up. And if it does blow, it will have devastating consequences. But theres also extra import us because russian forties had given residents around that until until the 10th of november to evacuate. And there is a feeding head to the 10th feeling that something will unfold over the next few days. Even here where weve been, weve been hearing our overnight over the last few days has been reports of explosions. Although because of media restrictions, we cant go and see what or if anything has been hit and but around her saw the is the feeling amongst the ukrainians, that something is going to happen. And for soc is very important to the russian is the only regional capital that theyve managed to take them to the dock of the war. Its the only point the west side of the river, the need for the Russian Troops occupied kershawn is the gateway to the south is also important for fresh Water Supplies to an ex crimea. In fact, russia sit back in 2014 that ukrainian cut off water. So russia took chris on, they reinstated that water supply. In fact, it was one of the reasons president putin gave for the invasion of ukraine. So lots more to come.

Reminder of the top stories here lounge is 0. Americans of voting and crucial midterm elections, which could see the democrats lose control of congress. Appending the rest of jo bidens presidency at stake, all 435 seats in the house of representatives, and 35 seats in the senate. Will poll suggests republicans will take the house, but the battle to control the senate looks tighter. Coming down to close elections in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, and nevada. And a rescue ship with 234 migrants on board is hoping to let people off in france after being refused entry by italys new far right government. But italy has allowed migrants from 3 other charity boats to disembark. Why were, lets talk more now about the significance of the u. S. Midterms. Barbara perry is professor of ethics and institutions at the university of Virginia Miller center. She joins us now live from charlottesville, virginia, welcome to the news hour that are going into this election. Joe biden has repeatedly said that, sir, this is peoples chance to come out and defend democracy nearly 2 years since the storming of the, the capital. But hows that warning really resonated with voters . I think it has certainly was democrats who were very much frightened as they should have been by what happened on january 6th, 2021. And interestingly enough, those on the rights express their concerns about democracy, but they come out from a conservative position, whereas they believe that democrats or socialists. So ironically, it may drive turnout from both parties, but going in different directions. Overloads been made of the huge number of election candidates from the Republican Party or election denies more than 300. Most of course, a favorite to win. I mean, what does that say about the state of democracy in the United States . Well it says a lot and its all negative. Im afraid to add it also both. I think for the future i should any number of those people when those positions and some of them are in positions to do vote counting and that sort of thing. I, if they dont believe in the Current System of the elections and the American Democratic republic, my fear is that they are taking us in the direction of authoritarianism. And even though there used to be, of course, voices from the fringe. But is it fair to say that election denying has gone mainstream . Yes, it has now bind you about 30 to 35 percent of Americans Still support donald trump. And it is the case that many of those are election deniers. But it was the case that they tended to be friend, including knows the storm, the capital on january, the 6th of 2021 and they were french people. But now, given that theyre on the ballot, the very ballot they say are unfair and reg, but they will use those elections to get into power. The big question of course, is how donald trump and dos candidates do ahead of his potential return to the white house in 2020 full. Yes, well be looking very closely at that. Now. Not all prefer candidates, one in their primary elections, to go on the ballot, but a number did. And it wont matter if all of them were to lose. As we know, donald trump can twist any kind of headline to zone advantage. And so he would continue to do that, and im sure he will be announcing i his mom, and he will be running for the nomination for Republican Party, for 2024. Whats happened sir . J. Bidens. Popularity is himself taken the hovering over the past 6 months, his personal rating has dropped since the summer. Thus, despite getting the United States back on, its for you to the title of the public. Yes and in the aftermath of the the riot and the insurrection against his own election, i would say he should been given lots of credit for writing the ship of state with an operation in 2021. But i think was the start of the withdraw from afghanistan, which was huge, very chaotic that did not work in his favor. And particularly inflation ramp, inflation in this country, as many countries are experiencing around the world. I has really taken a hit and causes approval ratings. To take a nose dive, i went point out, however, that is about at the same level that rock obama was at this time. At the same time, brock obama lost almost 70 seats across the house, and the senate lost the house of representatives and lost his filibuster. Proof majority in the senate and 2010 and came back strong and won against mitt romney in the 2012 election for reelection. Barbara perry, great to have you. Of an usa, barbara prairie professor of ethics in institutions of university of virginia, millis center, or divisions over abortion rights in the us are stronger than ever before. After the Supreme Court struck down federal protections for the procedure in june. Its now up to individual states to decide whether to allow the procedure and several republicans lead states have banded outright. Voters in michigan are also getting a chance to have their say on the issue as hydro, castro reports from the State Capitol of lansing. We want, oh abortions are at the moment, legal in michigan, but the women in this room including the president of the countrys largest abortion provider, fear that soon could change how much. Oh, theyre trying to take us back. A 1930 wine michigan law had banned nearly all abortions, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Now that law could return this o ray, just dangerous and cruel law. It basically means that um, health care, michigan becomes criminalized that women can be prosecuted for having abortion for having a miscarriage. If they have a stillbirth, thats where michigans proposal 3 comes in. It puts the question of whether abortions should be protected in michigan directly to the voters. Signs are everywhere. Bo, yes. To support abortion. Access no to oppose it. Though sides have been campaigning hard. Were out canvas seen and supportive proposal. 3, this father and daughter do oh, have been knocking on doors to convince voters that abortions should be protected after learning what the campaign was, she said should support it. There is a reason why michigan is at the center of the abortion debate raging across the country. Voters here are about evenly divided politically, a close reflection of the entire nation. And that gives lawmakers of both parties from lansing to washington, a chance to learn what the average American Voter thinks about abortion, and then to adjust their political strategies accordingly. Republicans have long benefited from christian conservatives who support the parties. Anti abortion platform. The priest at the church of the resurrection in lansing, michigan, told parishioners voting for Abortion Access would be a sin. Should you vote for proposal 3 . You need to repent and go to confession. Abortion is murder when youre taking a human life. Youre murdering that life. But polls show the pro abortion side, leading by a significant margin in michigan. The fact that we might not be able to control what happens with our own bodies that we dont have that choice is wrong. Whether that passion translates to votes remains to be seen heidi joe castro, Al Jazeera Lansing michigan. And our special coverage of the outcome of the mid terms begins at a 100. 00 g m t on wednesday. Well have correspondence across the us to break down all the results and explain what it means for america and the rest of the world.
