But with just 5 days to go until the u. S. Election President Donald Trump has hailed new figures showing his countrys economy has grown at a wreck or pace the 3rd quarter of the years or 33 percent change in g. D. P. From the previous period is trillions of dollars of coronavirus stimulus fueled Consumer Spending but it still means the economy is smaller compared to the situation before the crisis with no deal in sight for another for another round of relief as infections continue to climb. Well donald trump and joe biden both been campaigning in florida biden held a slim lead in that state for some time but in the past 7 days President Trump has closed the gap party call he is in washington joins us now and i suppose these figures at least on the surface play into trumps final pitch to voters to focus on the economy rather than the coronavirus. Well hes going to try to do that but hes kind of stepping on his own message the local News Coverage is what really matters when these candidates show up in town and the president s holding these rallies with people packed together most are not Wearing Masks even though the Campaign Says they hand them out most People Choose not to wear them and theyve seen spikes wherever he holds his rally 2. 00 to 3. 00 weeks later so the local news tends to focus on that but where a candidate goes these last few days tells you a lot about where they see the state of the race and florida is essential for donald trump if he has any chance of trying to win the presidency for a 2nd term it really looks like hes going to need florida joe biden would like to have florida it would help him quite a bit because after all every 4 years what do we talk about florida florida a little bit more florida because of their the Electoral College and how it works so the polls now are i think its important point out pretty much within the margin of error there usually about a 4 percent swing that they could go either way so it really seems to be a toss up in this state theres a couple of factors at play here donald trump one older voters 65 and older over Hillary Clinton by a lot now he is trailing joe biden among those groups that group and florida obviously a state known for its older population and also its growing hispanic population thats where the other polls come in though biden is not doing nearly as well with hispanic voters as Hillary Clinton did in 2016 and if you break that down into subgroups its really down when it comes to cuban americans likely remembering that rock obama while he was President Joe Biden as Vice President theyve reopened u. S. Relations with cuba something not all that popular with some of the american of cuban descent in florida so it really is a toss up one of the things that democrats are looking to though is theyre not only looking to older voters which are dominant florida theyre looking at young voters and this is a trend weve seen all across the country in this country young people just. Tend to vote they say theyre going to but they dont normally actually show up to vote not in huge numbers thats different this year just give you a sense of florida this age group is 18 to 29 years old in 2016 in the state of florida there are about 44000 of them who cast their ballots early the number now 257000 people of that age have already voted now the Biden Campaign is taking a look at that saying hey look younger people tend to vote overwhelmingly democratic so could be a good sign but again the polls show its 4 years florida again its probably too close to call according to the polls thank you so much for the breakdown patty calling in washington. All the native American Community comprises of a small but Important Group of voters some analysts saying those in swing states could have a major impact on the action but many of facing more and more all stickles as they try to cost 7 as well brunells explains. On the vast and remote stretches of the Navajo Nation where people live in isolated communities there is keen interest in the president ial election. Voted early so that we can. How important kony should joe is a nurse and has seen firsthand the devastating effects of colored 19 on the reservation according to the u. S. Census bureau there are about 6800000 native american and alaska natives in the u. S. But native voters could have a disproportionate effect on the election in several important swing states the native american vote at least in 7 battleground states could actually sway the election one way or the other many native americans believe President Donald Trump has treated them disrespectfully as when he used a white house ceremony honoring navajo world war 2 veterans to attack one of his critics democratic senator Elizabeth Warren they call or pocahontas. Who turned the suspects the colts or other native voters oppose trumps decision to green like controversy oil and Gas Pipelines on native land many demand stronger efforts to end extreme poverty and low Life Expectancy on reservations and recognition of sovereign treaty rights joe biden and kamel harris have met with native leaders to discuss these issues of concern i think that you will see more participation of native americans throughout the United States but many difficulties stand in the way of native voters some states with voter identification requirements wont accept tribal i. D. s others require voters to provide a street address which most native americans on rural reservations dont have there are few polling places on reservations mail in voting is difficult because reservation post offices where most people pick up and send their mail often are closed or have limited hours of operation and are also few and far between on the Navajo Nation. In or that the the medium for a person to check their meal is 38 miles a marathon and a half so theres nothing in the meal that makes it easy for native americans native voter advocacy groups are suing in several states to force more voting access on reservations and less unequal treatment compared to other voters who no one really understands like what were going through the original people of this land determined to have their voices heard on election day robert oulds al jazeera.

Albertans Opposition Labor Party has suspended its former leader of a failing to tackle anti semitism report found that under jeremy corbins leadership jewish Party Members suffered harris meant and complaints were ignored the current leader kiss stoma said the release of the report from britains equality watchdog was a day of shame for labor but Jeremy Corbyn says he was not part of the problem which he describes as being overstated aljazeera as neve has details from london. Its a huge blow for people who supported Jeremy Corbyn throughout all of this and a big blow for the man himself whos led the labor party for 4 and a half years against 3 successive conservative governments of David Cameron to rescind may of Boris Johnson until dramatically losing the election in december against Boris Johnson partly as a result of of corbins handling or brakes and partly too because of the scandal surrounding allegations of antisemitism within his party that prompted this investigation by the equality and Human Rights Council and those reported back that the labor party was responsible for on lawful acts of harassment or discrimination against jewish members of the party and politically interfered in the complaints process he him selfe is not accused of anti semitism but as the leader of the party essentially overall responsibility fell to him he responded though to this report saying that it was dramatically overstated for political reasons and thats put him on this collision course with the new leader of the labor party Kiran Starmer who has now suspended him it means that Jeremy Corbyn still remains an m. P. Albeit an independent one but considering hes been an m. P. Since the early 1980 s.
