A very warm welcome to the u. S. States of alabama is voting in a closely fought senate race just signed into a test of president donald trump. Influence republican candidate roy moore arrived by horse to cast his ballot in the city of gallant hes hoping to beat democratic candidate doug jones despite facing accusations of Sexual Misconduct against teenage girls when he was in his thirtys this indorse more even though many other republicans shun them. Roy moore is a social conservative famous for his hard right he said america was last great at a time when slavery existed and the homosexuality should be illegal and muslims should not be allowed to serve in congress as a judge she was twice removed from Alabama Supreme Court for failing to comply with winnings is made rival doug jones is a former us attorney best known for prosecuting two kook Klux Klansmen who killed four black girls and nine hundred sixty three church bombing. Is live in the city of birmingham alabama for us hi there patty so whats also tonight been like. Hey there julie well if you can watch you for the last few hours you know im taking a little bit of a tour of different polling stations here in birmingham alabama this is my third one at across the board each one all of the judges inside say turnout is really very brisk just how brisk let me put this in perspective for you an off year Election Special elections basically years that the president is or isnt running that Many Americans vote most of the political analysts when it came to this election they expected maybe twenty percent of eligible voters to come out and vote well here in this polling station they say already and the polls are still open for another three hours three four hours excuse me more than fifty percent of eligible voters have shown up in already cast their ballots and they say a lot of them are young people whove never voted before now on the surface you would think that might look good for doug jones obviously democrats tend to pull in the younger people but the fact that so many people are voting shows you that this isnt just a research about. Its not just about the u. S. Senate it is more broadly about the direction of this country at least thats what one voter i spoke with today had to say. I think that it has been a momentum building up since last year were some of us feel like what in my opinion the worst could possibly happen actually happened and we have someone unqualified to be leading this country and now as an alabamian im tired of being embarrassed by what people perceive about us and roy moore is sort of the perfect pinnacle of everything that people think about alabama everything that people think is wrong with alabama that were backwards that were homophobic that were racist that were islamophobia so passing the. Their what it was all about for alabama but i wonder what does it mean for the party itself for the Republican Party. Well you know its interesting i had a chance to talk to doug jones briefly with one of the voter stops today and i asked him what would it mean if you lose this election and his response was well thats a silly question so he didnt really want to weigh in on that but if you look at the direction the Republican Party youre seeing the Establishment Republicans many have come out and said that this is beyond the pale this is a candidate roy moore who has criticized and said. Really incredible things about women africanamericans muslims publish sexual zx hes really across the board targeted almost every group thats not white male or female so there are a lot of republicans who said no especially when these allegations came out that many as nine women said that he either salted them or had a relationship of sexual nature with them when they were there teenagers want to show this fourteen that the republican said were not going to do this this is not who we are the president though has endorsed him so the question is what kind of Republican Party are we going to see and this race will very much depend and determine what we see in twenty if more and more wins that its going to embolden all of these far right conservatives to run for the house in the senate if you lose as well thats a message as well but we wont know for a couple of hours but were getting closer. To kill him now live from birmingham patty thank you well lets speak to political analyst eric hamm who wrote the the g. O. P. Civil war inside the battle for the soul of the Republican Party he joins us live from washington d. C. Im sorry very warm welcome to the program i wonder what the results of this special election might mean for that insight battle that you have written about in your book. Sure and actually it was senator Lindsey Graham who said today win or lose this is a loss for the Republican Party and actually i would agree with those sentiments and take it a little further and say win or move the internal battle going on within the Republican Party will continue to rage on i think if war and more wins this race tonight i think the steve benen wing of the party will see them sit will see this as a vindication and will continue to fight against the establishment and then if they lose i think we will see them continue to fight on ill be it i think they will be a bit diminished but make no mistake about it this fight within the Republican Party will continue and i think we will begin to only see it really take hold as we move into the midterm elections and twenty eighteen and erick should move or if he does when expects warm welcome. Well actually i would actually compare it to send a rollover and how she was treated by her stepsisters if worn more wins this race he will be unwelcome within his own party and of course with democrats we saw a long time serving. Alabama senator Richard Shelby just say a couple of days ago that he is not supporting roy moore he already voted and he made public that he did not cast a vote for roy moore so we do know that he will not be wont come within his own party and that will go a long way in terms of what it means not only for president chomps legislative agenda but what about the things that if he is elected that the Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell would like to corral democrats around remember they are holding on to a very slim majority so Mitch Mcconnell is going to need every vote that he can get and given how the establishment sees roy moore right now i dont think its a lock that he will be in support of the party on many of the issues that theyre going to be looking to tackle Going Forward namely welfare reform and some of the other issues and so i think this is going to only just make the situation particularly within Senate DemocratSenate Republicans that much more toxic Going Forward if he wins this race tonight so erick this is kind of being billed as a referendum on trump why. Well because donald everything is about donald trump and donald trump has made everything about donald trump and so and then of course donald trump is all in for roy moore we know that he backed Luther Strange during the primary and strange last and so now President Trump recognizes that his agenda is holding on by a very very tiny thread and so he needs he needs this he needs to hold on to this seat he needs roy moore in this seat to ensure that his agenda has any type of chance of actually passing through the congress and so if he loses tonight then yes many will see this as a referendum on donald trump because donald trump is invested in roy moore he has gone on and for more if he if he loses you know it will be a blow to i think his his invincibility particularly with his base big because we know that it is donald trump the base that has carried him thus far and thats what theyre expecting to carry more more and more through tonight is this base and if he doesnt win many will think that the base is no longer with President Trump and they can that live from washington d. C. Eric thanks for your company thank you. Now french president manuel has delivered a rallying cries for World Leaders to do even more to fight Climate Change but its all the global summit in paris that theyre currently quote losing the battle earlier hundreds of protesters gathered outside the pantheon in paris demanding an end to Government Investment in fossil fuels the summit in paris was aimed at encouraging greater Worldwide Investment in clean energy. A civet were not going fast enough if we carry along this path weve committed to limiting the temperature rise to one point five centigrade were having two or three or three point five centigrade its so far from what we committed to when i say that we are losing the battle i would like you to realize that behind me are heads of states and governments and in fifty sixty or one hundred years five ten fifteen of them will be here in america where the has more of the world the u. S. Has played with in the conference. Well one things for sure and that is that the u. S. President donald trump wasnt here he wasnt invited in fact after he decided to pull the United States out of the paris accord and in fact that was one of the reasons that the french president emanuel my car i decided to host this summit along with the world bank and the u. N. It was really to say look the United States may be out but it doesnt mean that the rest of the world is not in and united in trying to fight Climate Change is not to say either that they want Many Americans here scientists researches c. E. O. s bosses even celebrities we saw other threats and i guess the actor was speaking a short while ago and what many of them are saying is that even though we might not have the white house on board there are people at every level in the United States who are working hard to fight Climate Change so that some governors of states all at the public themselves or c. E. O. s as i said in fact that was the message when we spoke earlier to the former mayor of new york Michael Bloomberg and the governor of california the u. S. President s basically federal governments basically irrelevant under the Obama Administration president one law of the Clean Air Act which has been tied up in congress so nothing came out of those eight years and nothings going to come out i dont think from the trump years we have floods we have droughts where we didnt and thats true around the world and all of a sudden you see people moving out of Northern Africa because they cant feed themselves crops arent growing so you go around the world theres lots of things that a sane person would say wait a second something is wrong and its irrational not to try to stop it we are mobilizing National Jurisdictions and well. So his republican colleagues are growing a totally different direction with the grassroots major states of america we are taking action and the people through the american press. Corporate leaders are doing so. For washington to wake up i think theres a sense that its a reenergized of peoples commitments to the agreement made in paris or two years ago and theres no doubt it really has thrown the focus on the need for finance the need for money if you are going to fight Climate Change because you know it was here in paris two years ago that we had two hundred leaders come together and promise to try limit to the Global Warming to less than two degrees celsius now those promises a wonderful it was an historic agreement everyone got very emotional about it because theres the sense is here that two years on not enough has been done not enough progress has been made and theres a real acknowledgement that what is needed is more public and private money to really make things move forward more investment in Green Technology and much more Sustainable Development become should become more of a priority for companies for businesses for governments and for everyone and thats really the message at the end of this summit. Well animals often bear the brunt of Climate Change with many species seeing their numbers dwindle melting sea ice means kind of this point then spending more time foraging near human settlements daniel lak reports from churchill manitoba where from here to us from to see them migrating their hunting grounds. In all terrain buses known as tundra buggies you can see polar bears where they live on the gusty snow covered permafrost of Northern Canada these expeditions arent cheap but for those prepared to pay and brave the cold a sighting of these magnificent creatures is almost a sure thing so these vehicles have gathered in front of two male birds that look to be getting ready to do something called again now what they actually do is get themselves in shape by mock fighting where they spend the winter out on the ice of pay i think. Is the term lords of the arctic theyre the largest carnivore that exists in north america theyre big theyre majestic and they live in an extreme environment and there are adapted to that and they do very well though they mostly prey on seals just off shore polar bears are increasingly attracted to what humans throw into garbage dumps the law so attack pets and occasionally people bear patrols are part of life here you resort to the shotgun robber cottages or this one is a part of a repeating right as a critically endangered species bears cant be killed communities have to find ways to frighten them away when they stray too close your options to get ahead of the curve are there in terms of managing the waste and the sources of organic smiles there will always be potable as a few polar bears coming up to the back porch when theyre really desperate and thats where you need to patrol back up guys with graduated responses managing the risk of encounters between. In humans and bears is never easy and its getting harder as the northern climate warms up melting sea ice and keeping bears on shore and hungry. To keep the polar bears out. Down over the. Whats really needed say Researchers International action against Climate Change without controlling Greenhouse Gas emissions and halting the rise in the concentration of the o two and other Greenhouse Gases in our atmosphere that polar bears are going to disappear as will the jobs income and awareness of the impacts of Climate Change that come from the ten thousand or more visitors every year to this unique northern landscape and you lack aljazeera churchill manitoba coming up this hour an explosion at a gas facility in austria sparks a state of emergency in italy plus im getting a warning when i say it is im going to tell you the story of this elaborate story that is working to find the babies that were born to women held in columbus down Detention Centers during the dictatorship in argentina in the one nine hundred seventy s.
