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. I don t think anyone s going to go to the ballot box thinking, you know, i do or do not agree with the administration s policy on precisely the two state solution between israel and palestine. But i do think it creates an atmosphere that will influence people s thinking.

Now on bbc news, americast. How can america keep its politics safe . Safe for everyone, but particularly safe for the candidates who are running for the presidency . It is, of course, a huge issue now. There have been two attempts on Donald Trumps life. There is a potential threat, of course, to everyone who is involved, and it has an impact on america because in a practical sense, how do people go out and campaign if theyre unsafe doing so, but also on a kind of undermining of Democracy Sense as well, that the whole nation feels itself to be unsafe and unable to be properly democratic. Donald trump has been talking about the second attempt on his life and using it, its fair to say, for his own political gain. Theyre doing things in politics that have never been done before in the history of our country, and worst of all, with their Open Borders and bad elections, they have made us into a third world nation, something which nobody thought was even possible.
