Two Israeli Soldiers were killed in the hardhit city of rafah in gaza and israelis are search oning for a soldier. Hamas says it has no information k say if they captured him, they were probably all killed by israeli shopping. The Islamic University in gaza city, at least five people were killed, all members of the same family. Live in gaza city. Imtiaz, i can see the destruction behind you looks like the mosque and university were completely destroyed. Reporter thats right.

The destruction, the devastation caused by that israeli a airstrike, plain to see. I have bee
Crash. Today is the final day of campaigning before todays Midterm Elections. The biggest prize the control of the u. S. Senate. If republicans take over most of the president s legislative agenda will be essentially dead. And Getting Senate approval for the president s judicial nominees will likely end as well. To take control of the u. S. Senate, republicans need a net gain of six senate seats. One of the reasons the gop is favored is because democrats are seeking for more seats than republicans. The states in blue are currently held by democrats. The states in head, republicans. Democrats have a lot more they have to defend. And keep in mind, three races for the seats of retiring democrats are not expected to be close. Those should be easy republican pickups and that would take the gops magic number down to three. And the remaining competitive races if you were to go with the final election polling, republicans would flip five more seats from blue to red. Democrats could pick up sea
Desert. And Climate Change, why the u. N. Says the window of opportunity is closing. After the most expensive Midterm Campaign ever, election day is almost here. The candidates are down to the final push. The big prize tomorrow, control of the senate. If republicans take over, it will be even more difficult for president obama to get his agenda through congress. That includes Getting Senate approval for the president s judicial nominee. Tonight we begin with David Shuster. John, were told the number of early ballots now number 18 million. Republicans are trying to get a pickup in North Carolina and turn it from blue to red, democrats are trying to flip georgia and turn it to democratic blue. In georgia the percentage of earlyballots cast by African American voters now stands at 33. 1 . That is a larger share than the 2012 president ial election, and 13 points higher than the African American portion in 2010 midterms. This would appear to be good news for the democratic candidate. She a

Good morning, welcome to Al Jazeera America. Im del walters. Im stephanie sy. As peshmerga Ground Troops join the battle for kobane in syria, iraq forces plan a major spring offensive against isil. Its being devised with the help of u. S. Military advisers and will require thousands more iraq troops. The goal is to force isil out of northern and western iraq.

Two leaders. This event was part of the Gettysburg College Civil War Institute annual summer conference. It runs about an hour. Ok, good evening. I and peter carmichael, professor of history at Gettysburg College and also director of the Civil War Institute. My guest is noted historian gordon ray. He 20 years ago published the battle of the wilderness with lsu press. This would be the first of 4 volumes to cover the 1864 Overland Campaign. Gordon was the first historian to ever attempt to write a comprehensive history of those operations. Those operations, as you know, covered Central Virginia and 1 at cold harbor. It really is hard to imagine that anyone will ever again attempt to write such a comprehensive history because what gordon did is truly phenomenal. ,t is model tactical history well researched, beautifully written, and above all else, contextualized. As a microstudy of who did what and where. What is really remarkable is that gordon dived into the , and so much of tactical h
