Welcome to americast. Hello, it s sarah, and i m in the bbc s bureau in washington, dc. And it s justin in the worldwide headquarters of americast in london, england. It is such a big question, isn t it, whether or not the american election is affecting the events in the middle east, and vice versa, whether they will affect the outcome of the election? and a fascinating one, i think, because we often say that foreign policy doesn t really impact on us elections. But i wonder if this is creating enough background noise that it will get into people s heads.

Calling for an end to the war, as the annivesary of the October 7 attack approaches. Now on bbc new, americast. Its all very combustible, isnt it . Huge violence in the Middle East and an american election about to happen. Two questions, then. Does the election affect the conflict in the Middle East .

But there is no question at all that what is happening in the Middle East matters in america, and what happens in america matters in the Middle East. Welcome to americast.

Tonight on the reidout do you have confidence that it will be a free and fair election and that it will be peaceful? two separate questions. I m confident it will be free and fair. I don t know whether it will be peaceful. A stunning warning from the sitting president of the united states that trump s rhetoric could threaten the peaceful transfer of power. This comes as trump today once again spread lies about the biden/harris administration s response to hurricane helene. Just one facet of the despicable storm politics republicans are playing with marjorie taylor greene making a claim that s absurd, even for her. We begin tonight we begin tonight with the final stretch with just 32 days to go until election day. And early voting under way in more than half of all states. We re seeing a remarkable contrast between the two candidates and their coalitions. On one side, you have vice president kamala harris, who today made multiple stops across the key battleground state of michigan. Jus
[sirens wailing] John Thats whats been happening in israel over the last couple hours. Air raid sirens, alerts blinking red all across the country. As iran throws the full might of its ballistic Missile Arsenal of israel. You see a couple impacts. They look like they might have gone down into the Mediterranean Sea just to the west of Tel Aviv. No significant casualties, no significant damage that we know of and for all intents and purposes this appears to be over. At least for the moment because Air Spaces have reopened.
