00:01:16You're watching news I'm
00:01:18Vandhna Bhan the US midterm elections
00:01:21elections are just two days away. away. Millions of voters across the
00:01:25the country will determine the balance balance of power in Congress. And
00:01:29And while the Democrats are widely widely predicted to flip the House
00:01:32House of Representatives, the Senate Senate is still up for grabs. Candidates
00:01:36Candidates in battleground states states like Texas and Michigan
00:01:43Texas and Michigan are making the final push to voters in the hopes hopes of swaying Tuesday's results.
00:01:46results. Now, these are some live live pictures from Kansas where President President Donald Trump is speaking
00:01:49speaking as part of his months long
00:01:51long campaign blitz for Republicans
00:01:54Republicans ahead of polling day.
00:01:56day. Now in Michigan, Democratic Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens
00:02:00Stevens broke with her party by endorsing
00:02:03endorsing Republican Senate candidate candidate Mike Rogers. It follows
00:02:05follows a rift with her fellow Democrat
00:02:07Democrat and nominee for Senate Abdul
00:02:10Abdul El-Sayed, who defeated her her in the primary. Stevens criticised
00:02:13criticised him over a political ad
00:02:15ad by an outside group blaming Israel
00:02:17Israel for high grocery prices. Stevens
00:02:20Stevens then appeared with Rogers Rogers on the campaign trail, where
00:02:23where she explained a little more more of why her support has shifted.
00:02:27shifted. My vote for Senate is going going to be with Mike Rogers, and
00:02:30and I will tell you why. Because
00:02:34Because we have to stand with country. country. We can't stand with hate.
00:02:38hate. I'm sorry. People are upset
00:02:40upset and I understand that I did did endorse the Democratic nominee
00:02:44nominee and he chose to close this this campaign by saying I wasn't
00:02:48wasn't welcome. I've never been invited invited to a campaign event. That's That's fine. You know, he's busy.
00:02:51busy. He's running all around. I've I've had primaries before myself.
00:02:54myself. It's not about that. It's It's this is about leadership and
00:02:58and integrity. Now, President Trump
00:03:00Trump praised Stevens for her decision decision to endorse Rogers, saying
00:03:04saying he would welcome her to the
00:03:06the Republican Party. El-Sayed, meanwhile, meanwhile, called the endorsement
00:03:09endorsement a distraction and spoke spoke out against his former primary
00:03:13primary challenger. So look, if you're you're somebody who believes that
00:03:16that we ought to have more rights, rights, not less than I would think
00:03:19think you would support me in this this race. If you are somebody who
00:03:22who believes that we should stand stand up to hate and you have watched
00:03:25watched this last campaign, I think think we probably would not want
00:03:28want to support Mike Rogers and Donald Donald Trump and JD Vance. Now to
00:03:31to the state of Texas, more than
00:03:34than half $1 billion has been spent spent on advertising alone, making
00:03:38making it the most expensive non-presidential non-presidential race in American
00:03:42American history. Democrat James James Talarico and Republican Ken
00:03:45Ken Paxton are in a race that's too
00:03:48too close to call. So what would would it mean for Republicans if
00:03:51if they were to lose Texas? Our correspondent
00:03:55correspondent Will Grant explains. explains. It would be huge. It's
00:03:58It's you know, it's been decades decades since there's been a Democratic
00:04:02Democratic senator in Texas. It's It's such a vital state. And I think
00:04:05think what makes it so important important is that what it would tell
00:04:08tell us if there was a Democratic Democratic senator out of Texas for
00:04:12for the rest of the races, particularly,
00:04:15particularly, you know, looking at at President Trump's dwindling popularity
00:04:19popularity at the moment, the importance importance of the Latino vote. Obviously,
00:04:22Obviously, in a state like Texas
00:04:24Texas where people are reacting against against a number of things, first
00:04:28first and foremost, of course, the
00:04:29the cost of living. That's a an issue
00:04:34issue across the nation. It has resonance, resonance, particularly in Texas,
00:04:38Texas, particularly in rural states states where the war with Iran is
00:04:42is pushing up the cost, obviously, obviously, of fuel, but also the
00:04:45the cost of fertiliser. You know,
00:04:48know, other products, oil based products products are all rising. And of course,
00:04:51course, the cost of living in terms terms of filling up your car with
00:04:54with gas. So these are the things
00:04:57things that if it does swing to a
00:04:59a Democratic senator out of Texas,
00:05:02Texas, you know, an almost unthinkable
00:05:05unthinkable prospect for the Republican Republican Party in many ways, it
00:05:08it really is an it would be an indication
00:05:11indication of where the night will will be heading or where the race
00:05:15race will be heading more broadly.
00:05:17broadly. Let's get more with IMC IMC Eghbal, a Democratic strategist
00:05:21strategist and former chief of staff staff to the Biden White House press
00:05:24press office now IMC. Just want to to start off because in the last
00:05:27last hour we've heard from a campaign campaign official for Abdul El-Sayed
00:05:30El-Sayed who confirmed to the BBC
00:05:32BBC that they've raised over $1.2
00:05:35$1.2 million since his fellow Democrat
00:05:38Democrat Haley Stevens, publicly publicly backed his Republican rival
00:05:41rival in Michigan's tight Senate Senate race. I mean, does this show
00:05:45show that Haley Stevens defection defection is actually backfiring
00:05:47backfiring here? It does. I live
00:05:50live in Washington, DC and this morning morning when she pulled the stunt
00:05:53stunt of walking into a historic historic black church with Mike Rogers
00:05:57Rogers and then releasing at the the same time a video endorsing him,
00:06:00him, it fired up a lot of Democrats. Democrats. It felt like this race
00:06:04race between Mike Rogers and Abdul Abdul El-Sayed was neck and neck.
00:06:08neck. And this, I think, is really
00:06:10really the energy a lot of Democrats
00:06:13Democrats across the nation, the the Democratic base in DC and also
00:06:16also the state Democratic Party in in Michigan needed to fire up because
00:06:20because Haley Stevens is simply wrong wrong on her calculation today about
00:06:23about Mike Rogers. I would say her her calculation about him just a
00:06:26a few days ago is correct that he
00:06:29he is a rubber stamp for this administration's
00:06:31administration's agenda. And look, look, we know that, you know, going
00:06:35going into these US midterm elections, elections, biggest topic at the top
00:06:39top of people's minds is the US economy.
00:06:41economy. But how effectively do you you think, especially the Democrats
00:06:45Democrats have conveyed their message
00:06:46message on the economy here? I think
00:06:49think they've really stuck to the the values that people care about
00:06:53about their constituencies care about. about. Look, there are a lot of great
00:06:56great candidates that are running running from Josh Turek and Rob Sand
00:06:59Sand in Iowa looking at James Talarico Talarico in Texas, what has their
00:07:03their constant question been to constituencies? constituencies? Has your life gotten
00:07:06gotten better since Donald Trump Trump has been president? Has the
00:07:09the never ending wars done anything anything to lower gas prices? Do
00:07:12Do you feel safer? Do you feel like like there is economic opportunity
00:07:15opportunity not just for yourself yourself but for your children? That
00:07:17That has been the through line message message for a lot of Democrats that
00:07:20that are running across this country. country. A lot of Democrats, mind
00:07:23mind you, that are running for the the first time that feel emboldened
00:07:27emboldened by this second Trump administration. administration. So not only has the
00:07:31the President given Democrats a message
00:07:35message by being 27% of approval approval rating and also giving us
00:07:37us this economy, but I think he's he's also helped birth a new generation
00:07:41generation of Democratic lawmakers lawmakers that we might soon see
00:07:44see in Congress. Do you think turnout
00:07:45turnout is matching Democratic expectations
00:07:48expectations in key districts? Look, Look, one thing about a Democrat Democrat is that you never trust
00:07:52trust the polling. We've been we've we've been scarred before. However,
00:07:56However, the ground game and also also a lot of the national polling
00:07:59polling is showing that enthusiasm enthusiasm from Democratic voters
00:08:02voters is matching with the polling polling that we are seeing. We know,
00:08:05know, of course, that polling from from even the 2018 midterms was correct.
00:08:09correct. Midterms tend to always always be a referendum on the current
00:08:12current administration. So no matter matter what, Democrats do have an
00:08:15an advantage there. We are looking looking at the map. We can see that
00:08:18that the House is inevitable. I do do believe we will get a speaker.
00:08:21speaker. Jeffries. The amount of of seats that the Democrats get in
00:08:24in the House is still up for debate. debate. The Senate itself, we saw
00:08:27saw some good polling today from from the New York Times that even
00:08:29even showed Abdujalil up by 11. It It showed us getting great numbers
00:08:33numbers in Kansas and in Texas, both
00:08:35both Republican held states. However,
00:08:38However, we cannot say that we have have this in the bag until election election day. Yeah, we'll have to
00:08:42to see how the next few days go.
00:08:44go. MC really great to get your analysis.
00:08:47analysis. There as well. Now the the Ukrainian Air Force has said
00:08:50said its air alert app is likely likely to have been compromised in
00:08:54in an apparent hacking attack on on Sunday evening. Many Ukrainians
00:08:58Ukrainians using the app received received false notifications about
00:09:02about a radiological threat, a chemical chemical attack and even a message
00:09:05message about possible street fighting fighting in Kyiv, the authorities
00:09:09authorities say functionality in in the app is gradually being restored.
00:09:13restored. Meanwhile, on Monday, Russia's Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations
00:09:17Situations said its mobile app had had been subjected to what it called
00:09:20called a massive cyber attack. It It said this had resulted in the
00:09:24the distribution of fake information information to the public, and that
00:09:27that work was under way to fix the the vulnerability while to understand
00:09:30understand the impact of the hacking hacking attacks, I spoke to Herbert
00:09:34Herbert Lin, a senior research scholar scholar for cyber policy and security
00:09:37security at Stanford University. University. Herbert previously served
00:09:40served on President Obama's Commission Commission on Enhancing National
00:09:44National Cybersecurity, and he told told me more. Apparently, it was
00:09:47was used just to distribute false
00:09:52false messages to the Ukrainian public public to, you know, disturb them.
00:09:56them. I mean, the information was
00:09:58was false. And if you took it literally,
00:10:02literally, it would be upsetting upsetting and, you know, concerning
00:10:03concerning and, you know, and perhaps
00:10:07perhaps life threatening. But I think
00:10:09think that the Iranian sorry, the
00:10:11the Ukrainians are really quite familiar
00:10:14familiar with this. And so my guess
00:10:17guess is that in the long run, it
00:10:20it didn't have very much impact.
00:10:21impact. And the Ukrainian government government corrected it pretty quickly.
00:10:25quickly. Given I mean, talking about about the attack itself, given the
00:10:28the sophistication required to carry carry out such cyber attacks. I mean,
00:10:32mean, what does this tell us about
00:10:33about the evolution of Russian cyber
00:10:37cyber operations in this war? Well,
00:10:40Well, Russia has conducted a variety variety of cyber operations against
00:10:43against Ukraine during the war since
00:10:44since it started and before, you
00:10:48you know, for - it's had cyber operations
00:10:50operations against Ukraine for a
00:10:52a very long time. This particular
00:10:55particular hack doesn't seem to me
00:10:57me to be out of the ordinary in the
00:11:00the sense that it is a you know, know, it's a serious hack it you
00:11:03you know, it compromises an important
00:11:06important channel for communicating communicating with the Ukrainian
00:11:08Ukrainian public. But you have to
00:11:12to expect that good hackers, which which the Russians are, will get
00:11:15get in every now and then and will will do their you know, their nasty
00:11:19nasty things. So this is you know,
00:11:22know, this is concerning. And I think think it's the first time that this
00:11:25this has happened to an official
00:11:29official Ukrainian information app
00:11:33app but I suspect it won't be the the last. Are they getting more sophisticated?
00:11:37sophisticated? Well, somewhat. We We don't know how they did it yet.
00:11:40yet. Maybe they used tools from AI AI and so on. And maybe they will
00:11:44will in the future be able to do do it more. But we don't we just
00:11:47just don't know that yet. Now there
00:11:50there have been clashes between police
00:11:52police and rioters in cities across
00:11:54across Germany late on Saturday after
00:11:56after peaceful protests by a youth youth movement called Gen Z Takes
00:12:01Takes Charge turned violent. They They followed similar protests in
00:12:04in France, where more than 300,000 300,000 people marched on Saturday.
00:12:07Saturday. Protests also took place
00:12:09place in Albania and Portugal. This This report from our correspondent
00:12:13correspondent Joe Inwood contains contains flashing images from the
00:12:16the start. These are not scenes Germans
00:12:18Germans are used to on their streets.
00:12:20streets. Youth anger boiling over.
00:12:25over. In Frankfurt, Germany's financial financial heart. Small groups took
00:12:28took the opportunity to loot shops,
00:12:31shops, including a gun store. But
00:12:33But these were relatively isolated isolated incidents and a long way
00:12:37way from the central message of protests, protests, which had been largely
00:12:41largely peaceful. Hundreds of thousands
00:12:43thousands of mostly young Germans
00:12:46Germans calling for equality, better better public services and an ease
00:12:48ease to the costs of living. Young
00:12:51Young people are taking to the streets streets to gather as Gen Z, to say
00:12:54say that we want a future in which
00:12:56which we can lead a good life. We
00:12:59We must distance ourselves from radical
00:13:01radical protest. Our primary focus
00:13:03focus is on education, climate change change and democracy. What took place
00:13:07place in Germany is part of a wider wider trend started in France but
00:13:11but now spreading to Italy, Spain
00:13:13Spain and here in Portugal where where a housing crisis is said to
00:13:17to have hit the youngest hardest
00:13:20hardest in France two there were were massive protests for a third
00:13:23third weekend in a row. Like in Germany, Germany, they were for the most part
00:13:27part peaceful and good natured. They
00:13:29They take us for clowns. This woman's
00:13:31woman's sign reads. But France is
00:13:34is a country with deep fiscal problems
00:13:36problems and even deeper political
00:13:39political divisions. The authorities authorities say they've opened an
00:13:42an attempted murder investigation investigation after police were attacked
00:13:45attacked by petrol bombs. In total,
00:13:49total, more than 700 people were
00:13:51were arrested. In every march. There
00:13:54There were groups of rioters and
00:13:55and looters, many driven by the far
00:13:58far left. Their sole aim was to retake retake city centres with extraordinary
00:14:01extraordinary violence. Across Europe,
00:14:04Europe, there seems to be a growing growing sense of anger and unrest
00:14:07unrest amongst the young, a feeling feeling the social contract has been
00:14:11been broken by governments of left,
00:14:14left, right and centre. They are
00:14:15are making their voices heard. Joe
00:14:18Joe Inwood, BBC News. Now we'll be
00:14:20be right back with more including including Buckingham Palace confirming
00:14:24confirming that King Charles will will speak about slavery when he
00:14:28he addresses the Commonwealth Leaders Leaders Summit in Antigua. Around
00:15:31gains. Follow our coverage right
00:15:32right here on BBC News. You're live
00:15:42live with BBC News. Buckingham Palace Palace says King Charles will speak
00:15:46speak about slavery with unflinching
00:15:49unflinching honesty and sincere sorrow sorrow when he addresses the Commonwealth
00:15:52Commonwealth Leaders Summit in Antigua Antigua on Tuesday. The King is starting
00:15:56starting three days of formal engagements engagements there as part of a wider
00:15:59wider tour of the Caribbean. It's It's understood his speech won't
00:16:02won't be affected by comments made made by the UK Prime Minister, Andy
00:16:06Andy Burnham, raising the possibility possibility of a formal apology for
00:16:09for Britain's role in trans-Atlantic trans-Atlantic transatlantic slave
00:16:12slave trade. The British government government has never made a formal
00:16:16formal apology for slavery or offered offered to pay reparations. Here's
00:16:20Here's our political correspondent correspondent Joe Pike. Throughout
00:16:23Throughout his Caribbean tour, the the King has acknowledged slavery's
00:16:26slavery's place in the history of
00:16:28of these islands. The Caribbean community
00:16:31community have a ten-point plan for for reparations, including investment
00:16:34investment in education and public public health. But Andy Burnham has
00:16:37has ruled out anything financial. financial. The Chancellor explained
00:16:40explained his bosses thinking the. the. Prime Minister has said look,
00:16:44look, we are open to a discussion
00:16:46discussion about an apology. He feels feels that that's the right thing,
00:16:50thing, particularly ahead of the the Commonwealth Leaders Conference.
00:16:53Conference. But he doesn't believe believe that reparations are the
00:16:56the right approach and considering considering a formal apology doesn't
00:16:59doesn't mean accepting that British British people now should accept
00:17:02accept the financial liability for
00:17:04for any party. In things that happened
00:17:06happened hundreds of years ago in
00:17:08in which they had no role. For the the Conservatives, even the offer
00:17:11offer of an apology is navel gazing
00:17:14gazing and a distraction. It is time time for the Commonwealth to start
00:17:17start looking forwards, not endlessly endlessly backwards. And why now?
00:17:20now? Why not? In the 60s, 70s, 80s? 80s? Why are we - why are we having
00:17:24having this conversation today? What What is it? Because lots of Commonwealth
00:17:26Commonwealth leaders are asking for for it, which is why that's what what I mean. Why are they asking
00:17:30asking for it now? It is because because many of these countries are
00:17:33are struggling with the same issues issues that we're struggling with. with. They're not becoming richer.
00:17:36richer. They don't know what to do. do. So they want to ask Britain for
00:17:40for more money. My answer. Is no. no. We should not even be entertaining
00:17:43entertaining the idea of reparations.
00:17:46reparations. In Antigua, where Andy Andy Burnham will arrive tomorrow.
00:17:49tomorrow. Views on an official apology
00:17:51apology are mixed. If someone is is apologising, I mean they've done
00:17:54done something wrong. And if they've
00:17:57they've done wrong, apology is a a good start. No, I don't think the
00:18:01the UK should apologise for anything anything because the slave trade
00:18:04trade has happened years ago and and what's in the past should stay
00:18:07stay in the past and people should should learn from the past and not
00:18:09not try to live in the past. The
00:18:12The King will address the Commonwealth Commonwealth Heads of Government Government on Tuesday. A message
00:18:16message of unflinching honesty and
00:18:18and sincere sorrow is expected to
00:18:21to feature in that speech. Joe Pike,
00:18:23Pike, BBC News. Well, let's get more
00:18:25more with Earl Bousquet, who is chair
00:18:27chair of the Saint Lucia National National Reparations Committee. Earl,
00:18:30Earl, great to be able to speak with with you here. And look, King Charles
00:18:33Charles had quite the warm welcome
00:18:35welcome last week to the Caribbean.
00:18:38Caribbean. But he did say that he
00:18:41he won't be issuing a formal apology,
00:18:43apology, let alone reparations. How
00:18:45How are Caribbean leaders seeing
00:18:48seeing this? Caribbean leaders are
00:18:52are welcoming his statement having
00:18:54having indicated that he is in fact
00:18:57fact joining the King in considering
00:19:00considering that the time has come
00:19:02come for a conversation on reparations reparations and in so doing, the
00:19:06the two of them will be joining that
00:19:09that conversation in one of the regions
00:19:11regions of the world most affected.
00:19:15affected. And it is one where Caricom
00:19:18Caricom leaders have welcomed the
00:19:21the move from refusal. But it is
00:19:23is one that also reflects the trend
00:19:26trend from Buckingham Palace as far
00:19:30far back in 2021, when Queen Elizabeth,
00:19:33Elizabeth, on her dying bed, offered
00:19:35offered some royal statements of of sorrow, stopping just short of
00:19:39of an apology which was repeated
00:19:42repeated by then. Prince Charles,
00:19:45Charles, in her message to Barbados Barbados when it became a republic
00:19:48republic in November of that year,
00:19:54year, then 2024 in at the Commonwealth
00:19:57Commonwealth Summit in Samoa, the the King made that statement that
00:20:00that the time has come for the conversation
00:20:04conversation and the Caribbean is
00:20:06is very glad and they are being welcomed
00:20:10welcomed by the chairman of the Caricom
00:20:12Caricom Reparations Commission. So
00:20:14So Hilary Beckles, who is looking
00:20:18looking forward along with the other
00:20:20other member Heads of government
00:20:22government of Caricom, to that conversation.
00:20:26conversation. The King never said said that he would apologise. And
00:20:30And therefore those who expect him
00:20:32him to may be expressing hopes rather
00:20:37rather and wishes rather than dealing
00:20:39dealing with the reality. Secondly,
00:20:42Secondly, you cannot divorce an apology
00:20:45apology from reparations. And thirdly,
00:20:48thirdly, reparations is not only only about money. The ten-point plan
00:20:51plan points out. All of what we are
00:20:54are requesting by way of reparations
00:20:57reparations and it's not about giving giving us a cheque. I just want to to ask I mean, you've spent decades
00:21:01decades campaigning on this. How How close do you think you are to
00:21:05to any breakthrough? Briefly. I think
00:21:06think we'll see it in our
00:21:10lifetime. Alex Carey really great great to be able to get your analysis
00:21:12analysis there. Chair of the Saint
00:21:15Saint Lucia National Reparations
00:21:18Reparations Committee now heavily heavily armed Australian police officers
00:21:21officers have started patrolling patrolling the streets of Sydney
00:21:23Sydney in response to last year's year's deadly attack on Bondi Beach.
00:21:27Beach. The Armed Response Command
00:21:29Command was established after gunmen gunmen killed 15 people during last
00:21:33last year's celebrations for the the Jewish Festival of Hanukkah.
00:21:36Hanukkah. Well, let's get more with with our Sydney correspondent Katy
00:21:39Katy Watson. Katy. Sydney is obviously obviously heading into summer Bondi
00:21:43Bondi beach heaving during this time time of year. Authorities clearly
00:21:47clearly on edge and on high alert.
00:21:52alert. Yeah. So this armed Response
00:21:55Response command is an elite police police unit that was set up, as you
00:21:58you said, in the wake of what happened happened in Bondi, which is coming
00:22:01coming up to nearly a year ago. Now,
00:22:05Now, when the attack happened, the the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese,
00:22:08Albanese, came under a lot of pressure. pressure. Authorities were accused
00:22:12accused of not having done enough
00:22:14enough to prevent such an attack.
00:22:17attack. And after the attack there
00:22:19there was a crackdown on gun laws
00:22:21laws and as well as on, on political
00:22:24political protest. And so this elite
00:22:27elite unit also comes about as a
00:22:30a result of what we saw last year.
00:22:32year. So there will be eventually eventually about 250 officers. They've
00:22:36They've been given special training. training. They will be armed with
00:22:38with rifles. They've been given special special driving training. So they'll
00:22:42they'll have specialist vehicles vehicles as well. And the idea is
00:22:45is that they will patrol big tourist tourist hotspots of course like Bondi.
00:22:49Bondi. But you know all around Sydney
00:22:52Sydney those kind of famous places places that tourists will visit as
00:22:56as well as sporting events, major major events and places of worship.
00:23:00worship. So there'll be pretty visible. visible. And I think that's what's what's going to be quite surprising
00:23:04surprising for many Australians and and not used to that. Of course,
00:23:07course, tourists aren't either. This This is a country that is seen as,
00:23:10as, you know, incredibly safe. And
00:23:13And there has been some criticism
00:23:14criticism that this is a kind of of militarisation of police, a kind
00:23:18kind of US style police presence. presence. Some people concerned about
00:23:22about that, but it's also been welcomed welcomed by many to especially Jewish
00:23:26Jewish communities who, you know, know, feel that much more could have have been done to protect. And that's
00:23:30that's the idea that it's to prevent prevent and deter and to rapidly
00:23:34rapidly respond to any threats, including including kind of armed threats,
00:23:38threats, and to give communities communities people much more kind
00:23:40kind of reassurance that the police
00:23:42police can deploy quickly and effectively effectively if any major attack was
00:23:46was to happen again. Katy Watson Watson really appreciate you getting
00:23:50getting us across those details from from Sydney. Well, let's take a look
00:23:53look at some other stories in the
00:23:55the headlines. In Bulgaria, the Kremlin Kremlin presidential candidate Iliana
