now of course where the ground rises as probably georgia but we talk about azerbaijan west and south of iraq tail off through kuwait even as far south as bahrain was significant right to the west of that possible sounds talking for i think they've gone that we're talking about a quite a period twenty two beirut is the forecast now to take you for another day the showers if anything fade away but still there in northern syria and possibly eastern side of turkey that looks quiet and cooler twenty six in kuwait city of course the roof is reflected in the weather in the arabian peninsula much quieter than it was there the showers that larissa's far south as bahrain but i think so otherwise nothing much to talk about for a change actually in southern africa active weather once more as binns eastern side of south africa it's still there probably make it wet in certain mozambique as well . after one of greece's deadliest forest fires. in. people in power. point institutional incompetence. this. was not an accident it was a crime. is the real reason. to take. on al jazeera. on al-jazeera the

chattering daily routine. that was the kind of serenity meredith sought in the north georgia mountains, not more than foothills for a woman who loved to trail-climb her native rockies. it was 2008 when she sat out with her dog ella. her roommate julia from her college days had slept in that morning. >> she had left me a little note on the chalk board, taking ella. went hiking. not where, not when, not when i'll be back. it wasn't really anything out of the ordinary. >> meredith, like roomy julia, was a dog person. she doted on ella, her black lab mix since finding her at a rescue shelter. >> she had two dogs growing up and one of her own. so we talked about it and she decided what she wanted, definitely wanted to rescue a doeg. finally found one loved her and brought her home. really it was the light of her life. >> julia the roommate didn't know meredith and ella were going 40 miles away to blood mountain. despite the creepy teen slasher movie name, blood mountain is a popular place to hike in the southeast. the famous appalachian trail to maine takes off from just south of here. back

with this passed. i've lived away from georgia for almost ten years. every time i come back i remember why i left because i feel that the history is weighing down on my country. and it will take many years to transform it into the country that i want to live in. the area my parents live in is dominated by soviet blocks. it's pretty great a soviet buildings were not designed to make people feel at ease. when the u.s.s.r. collapsed there was nobody to look cost of this stairwells than the entrance system out the exterior of the building so we're still in there or is in the states. unfortunately when we open the door we still step into a soviet world. what . every five. to seven. my mom remembers the soviet union in a very positive way she was an engineer she was empowered once we got the independence all the soviet factories just closed down there were no jobs for even men let alone women so women had to just stay home and become housewives have soem meat chick. and if it's dominant in georgia and you see oh and this is some desert . no one makes it and every time i come we nick

sound dignity went to florida and georgia today to campaign for democratic candidates for governor. >> the real reason i came down to miami because this tuesday might be the most important election of our lifetimes. politicians will always say that, but this time it's actually true. the stakes really are that high. >> the stakes are so high that lifelong republicans are endorsing democrats tonight. john warner is 91 years old. when i worked in the united states senate for some of senator warner's 30 years as a republican senator he was always one of the pleasant decent people with whom i used to disagree with most of the time in the senate. our differences were never personal, always just about policy. john warner was good friends with senator mitch mcconnell in those days and tonight he's endorsing democrats in the hope that his former republican friend, mitch mcconnell, will lose control of the senate. john warner is endorsing tim kaine's re-election in his state of virginia. he's also endorsing democrats in-house races in virginia including former cia official abigail spamburger

and pennsylvania and indiana. trump and pence in tennessee and georgia. here is what the president had to say. >> if you want to protect criminal aliens, you should vote democrat. if you want to protect law abiding americans, vote republican. it's really very simple. >> cnn's ryan nobles is at the white house this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, victor. welcome to washington. the finish line in sight and two days away of full campaigning before voters have the final say in election 2018. both of the former president barack obama and president trump are busy on the campaign trail today. they have been for the last several days going across the country and really driving out the base and pushing those voters who are inclined to support democrats or republicans and making sure they get to the polls and they are doing that by emphasizing these issues that base voters care about. for republicans and president trump, that is immigration. listen to what the president said last night in florida. >> when you look at that caravan coming up, that is not what we want, tha

georgia. and now georgia is the focus of a new investigation. the office of the state secretary of state, brian kemp, who also is the republican candidate for governor is accusing the democratic party of hacking into the system to expose vulnerabilities we are awaiting details and in the meantime, it's a very busy day. following candidates and big name backers in illinois, florida, and georgia. let's begin in macon, georgia. soon to arrive if not already. sarah west road is there. what will be the message? >> well, fred. president trump review what is he will display in favor of brian kemp. this is as tight as they come. one of the most closely watched gubernatorial contests in the country. the secretary of state of georgia skipped his last debate with stacey abrams to be here with the president. abrams has been using that against him and looking to make history on tuesday by becoming the first black woman to be governor not just of georgia, but any state of the in the country. president obama and oprah winfrey came down to campaign on behalf of him. if neither gets 50% on tuesday,

fantastic governor of georgia. he's run a really great campaign. he will keep georgia going on the path that it's going. >>> i want to start with what is happening right now. the president wrapping up his gaggle with white house press as he heads to macon, georgia. i've got an incredible group of guests. kasie hunt is with me here in new york. beth is our senior politics editor. she's in georgia. kristen, let me start with you. the president talking about fever and fervor when it comes to this race. get us up to speed on what the president had to say. >> reporter: i asked the president if he was expecting to lose the house. a few days ago he said it could happen. today he's saying he feels good about the house. he said i feel very good about the senate. to stress the fact that he has been focused largely on senate and gubernatorial races. i think that tells you what his strategy is heading into this home stretch to election day. he wants to make sure that republicans pick up seats in the senate. based on my conversations with officials here, they say we are bracing for a potential

stacey abrams and why she refused to concede in georgia. and the growing outrage over a president attacking and ignoring american veterans. >> wouldn't it have been nice if we got osama bin lauden a lot sooner than that? >> all in starts right now. >> a nice mansion. >> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. in 45 days, the 116th congress will begin. democrats will be in power in the house of representatives and president trump is now hurtling towards the biggest political collision of his administration. now, we have seen trump during the campaign, during his presidency cornered, lashing out, acting aggressively, picking fights seemingly at random. in fact, it's the way he operates. his own weird equilibrium. this weekend, though, he seemed particularly agitated i think it's safe to say. he literally tried to blame the california wildfires on the lack of forest raking by californians. he attacked retired admiral william mcraven who oversaw the osama bin lauden raid and said the military should have killed bin lauden sooner. and he called the incoming chair of the house inte

travel schedule for the president. he's in georgia today. tomorrow it's ohio, indiana, and missouri. a trifecta, three campaign stops in one day. what does that tell you about how he sees this election? >> it's interesting where he's not going. he's not going to arizona, which i think is remarkable given that his closing argument has really been all about immigration. but in terms of ohio, just the importance there. but look, i mean, if you look at georgia in particular, i think that you could have a situation where that could be the dominant headline of the midterm elections, potentially on wednesday morning, especially if she wins the governorship and you've got oprah who's literally going door to door down there. the bottom line is the president is making a case on immigration, and a lot of the democrat strategists are saying that could have the adverse effect he wants to see happen by mobilizing democrats to get to the polls. you're not seeing democrats engage on that issue. they're sticking to health care. think of how fast the pendulum has swung on health care, for example, that

. meanwhile, stacey abrams asked the self obsessed knobs of hollywood not to boycott georgia because she lost. some stars have threatened to boycott the state because the vote that made brian kemp the winner still stands. ron perlman, alyssa milano, bradley whitford, georgia is really going to miss you guys. now we know how to keep office hollywood crybabies out of our state. win elections. this is a better incentive than lower taxes and safer streets. a vote for a republican means alec baldwin won't punch locals in the face. a vote against the leftist means you'll never run into jim carrey weeping in the park. but clearly this is another tantrum disguised as a principled stand. it's easy to boycott something you don't need. something tells me ms. milano or mr. perlman didn't have lucrative projects lined up in savannah. it's pure destructive selfishness. let's push boycotts that don't affect me that harms the economy that supports millions of middle-class americans. i will just stay in bel air. i still get to a virtual signal on twitter. boycotting a state is an even sadder version

within a point there, so that still looks like recount territory in the sixth district of georgia. >> thank you, steve. that's very rare when a call like that has to be changed. having transparency that it was a data entry error helps happen. >> we don't know what happened on the ground, was there a c concession, did everyone report this this way? >> it's always troubling when it happens that way. there's a -- there's hundreds of races tonight and that will happen at some point. >> i see steve has refreshed his board to show the senate races. >> question showed you earlier jon tester continues to lead. it's tight. a 3,000-vote edge for tester. two things are happening. there are -- there is such a thing in montana as a core democratic area. one glacier county yet to be reported there. we're waiting on that one. we also have cascade, this is just sort of the early vote that's tallied here. a lot more to come. tester should pick up some. also here, no vote here. tester has three counties. the thing we are seeing, and the reason it's tight, and i think this gets into a national trend

, the georgia campaign of brian kemp has been extraordinary. a lot of people are voting and a lot of republicans are voting because they want to see georgia go forward and not backward. if she gets in, georgia is going backwards. if he gets in, georgia goes forward. thank you. thank you. >> president trump touting the

is in atlanta georgia and she's been running against brian kemp and she has a big lead but she's talking about the race in particular. let's listen to what she has to say. >> on september 18, thousands from georgia began casting absentee ballots determined to list their voices in the democratic process of electing our leaders for the next two years, the next four years. a few weeks later more than 2 million declared their choices , heading to polling places for early votes, and then on november 6, more than 1 million folks arrived in precincts around our beloved state anxious and excited to express their patriotism through the fundamental act of voting. for these millions the act may have proven tedious and hard, but they had no doubts their votes would be counted. certainly there would be long lines and delays, absolutely a tired volunteer would misstype a name and nature would not be ignored, through rain or tornado warnings or chilly weather. we all understand the challenges and the complications; however this year, more than 200 years into georgia's democratic experiment, the

broke idea it was history of our country our beloved country georgia so if you want to expels these pages of history from your mind off your history it means you are doing very well wrong think you know because if you are expelling your past if you demolished your past you will never have a future. but i felt angry because moscow had an opportunity and this protest peacefully. i feel very patriotic and i think that it was unfair that russia was there was making decisions for us and he doesn't recognize. that russia owes us an apology i think that russia owes an apology for sending in troops a crackdown on people who did nothing wrong nothing wrong. u.t. and my parents lived through turbulent times followed b. and off soviet rule. georgia today is far from perfect but it has come a long way since the one nine hundred eighty nine and it seems inconceivable that people could still miss such a repressed and repressive past. in theory this occupation ended thirty years ago. in practice the occupation continues. i've never been here before and somehow nobody ever mentions this building an

, montana, florida, georgia, tennessee, ohio, indiana for second time, it says a lot about what is to come and the 2020 presidential election. >> if you look at what this president did, he did 11 events events -- >> julie: the man doesn't sleep. >> i can tell you, that it was nothing compared to when he was on the ballot. in october, early november of 2016, the president was doing six of those a day, every day, seven days a week. he has an unbelievable engine. he has down stamina that i have never seen before. he is a work ethic that no one has. he is dedicated, that is what he tried to show and share with these candidates across the country. i think we will look back and see the folks that embraced this president and were involved in the party and tried to help, they did very well, and there was shown him didn't. i think we will see some of that play out over time. >> ed: we will dig deeper with the panel next about what it means in terms of losing the house but i want to give you 30 seconds. you talked about the good news for the president but the bad news, there will be subpoenas flying

commentator and former republican congressman from georgia. i want both of you to listen to this. i spoke to our politics digital director, zachary wolf, earlier about this surgery in early voting. this is what he told me. >> i think if you look in texas, certainly, you know, the beto o'rourke campaign would be very excited to see the number of young voters rising, the same in georgia, the governor's race there, potentially in florida. but, you know, it's really hard to extrapolate exactly what this means. they are far and away above the last midterm election but they're not too much above and probably below the presidential election. and that most recent presidential election, of course, texas and florida, didn't exactly go towards the democrat. >> so zach advises not to get too excited about the early vote turnout. are either of you particularly excited to see this record-breaking turnout before election day, joan? >> i'm always excited to see turnout, ana. i think it's a big deal. especially the millenial turnout. it's up by about 400% in all three states, florida, georgia, and t

kemp in the georgia's governor's race. in fiery remarks abrams claimed democracy failed georgia but added she will no longer stand in the way of officials certifying kemp as the winner. meantime in florida, they are doing it the old fashioned way tonight. a hand recount of votes underway to find out who won the u.s. senate race in the state. while the governor's race appears over after a machine count and will be officially certified next week. republican ron desantis has declared victory for the second time. the democrat in that race, andrew gillum retracted his concession earlier this week and has not conceded again vowing as of a couple hours ago to fight on. we have fox team coverage peter doocy at the broward county election headquarters again tonight with the florida story but we start off with the breaking news steve harrigan in atlanta with the very confusing message from stacey abrams. good evening. >> you are right this was a fiery angry speech by abrams and puzzling as well. she acknowledged that she lost the governor's race in georgia to brian kemp. kemp got 50.2% of the
