The trade war between China and the U.S. could be cooling off,... with both sides expressing

hope to resolve their various differences.

China's Vice Commerce Minister Wang Bingnan said on Saturday that Beijing is willing to

resolve its trade issues with Washington through mutually respectful talks and on an equal

footing.

He said China, together with the U.S., will promote a healthy and stable development of

their ties.

This comes as President Trump, told reporters at the White House on Friday, that the two

sides are edging closer to doing something on trade, adding a lot of progress had been

made to resolve their differences.

He said that, during his phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping the previous

day, he could feel his Chinese counterpart wants to make a deal.

President Trump said the deal will be fair for everybody and at the same time good for

the United States.

However, Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow was more cautious, saying nothing will happen

soon.

Democrats In Red States Get Last Minute Surge Before Midterms - Duration: 3:56.

Well, here we are, folks.

At this point, we are now just a few days away from what may be the most consequential

midterm elections of our lifetimes.

And, with a few days left to go, Democratic candidates in solidly red states have actually

seen a bump in the polls, giving a little bit more hope to be fact that Democrats might

actually win back the Senate.

Now, the House of Representatives, at this point, is the Democrats to lose.

And that's mostly speaking just from historical comparisons.

It is likely, based on history alone, that the Democrats would be the ones to win the

House of Representatives.

But the Senate has been more of a tossup.

After all, the Democrats have more people up for reelection than the Republicans.

So, it's more difficult for them to take back the Senate when they actually have to defend

more seats than they get to challenge.

But nonetheless, in several very tight races in Arizona and Texas, Democrats in this last

less than a week now before the election, have seen massive bumps to their poll numbers.

In fact in Arizona, the Democrat has now actually taken the lead.

The poll numbers flipped from where they were just a couple weeks ago.

And in the state of Texas, the polling averages show Beto O'Rourke with five points of Republican

Ted Cruz.

Now, I believe that 538 only gives the Democrat, I think, less than a 10% chance of taking

back the Senate.

And I think 10% might be a little generous.

Republicans are still actually favored to win those two elections, Arizona and Texas.

But what we're seeing with the way these races have been close in areas where they should

not have been closed, these should have been blowout elections by both Republicans, especially

Ted Cruz.

All right, this is a guy who actually is fairly liked by Republicans, some of them, at least

down in Texas.

The rest of the world, not so much.

But this should have been a blowout for him.

And instead, he's fighting for his life right now.

So, even if these Republicans win, it is not a defeat for the Democratic Party or for Democratic

Progressive ideals.

And that needs to be the big take away.

And I'm not trying to go ahead and give a concession speech because I think we're gonna

lose the Senate.

I would love to see us do that.

But I also don't want to see people walking around dejected, thinking that we just lost

big time, and we got another six years of Cruz and these other idiots, or that, "Oh,

there's nothing we can do to stop Donald Trump now."

That's not true.

The amount of people that we have seen energized, mobilized, and even early voting so far in

these midterms has been spectacular.

We need to increase voter turnout, not just this year, but every year.

We have to get to those 70, 80, 90% numbers of voter turnout here in the United States.

And if we keep up the energy, if we keep up the mobilization and the get out the vote

efforts, and the efforts to fight back against voter suppression, we can do it.

We can push Progressive ideals.

And it may not happen in this election, but it could happen in the next one, or the next

one.

But if we stop pushing, if we stop fighting, if we feel too defeated to get back up on

Wednesday morning, then Republicans definitely did win.

But if we get back up and we don't stop fighting for a second, then even though they retained

those seats, it's still a major win for Progressives.

100% Serious US Senate Election Prediction - Duration: 3:14.

Hello guys, and welcome to an election prediction that is 100% serious

First, we should start off with the obvious states, [safe dem states] will all obviously

go to the Republicans

Now, you might think "well hold on that doesn't make any sense those states usually

vote for the democrats"

And yes, they do, and the Democrats are America's left wing party, in the Spanish Civil War

the left wing faction was the Republicans, so therefore, these states will all vote Republican

Except for of course California, because they're a dictatorship and don't even have a Republican

on the ballot

Now, Wyoming, Utah, and Nebraska, those are almost certainly going to vote for the Republicans

Except that, unfortunately, Jack, one of the only three people who lived in Wyoming, died

And Catherine can't vote because the Supreme Court just recently ruled that Wyoming is

allowed to take away voting rights from women

So that just leaves Jack, who, if you remember, wants Wyoming to secede from the USA, and

runs the "Wyomian Independence Party"

So he will just vote for himself as senator

Now, on to the rust belt

Now, rust, is the colour red

And red, is of course, the colour of socialism

Cuba, is socialist

And Cuba, ISW AN ISLAND

And islands are surrounded by water, which is blue

So they're all gonna be blue states

Now, Missouri, they're going to bring Harry S Truman back from the dead and vote him in

as Senator, so, watch out Japan

Now, North Dakota and Montana

Those states actually were annexed by Canada long ago, it's just nobody noticed because

nobody cares about those places

And they're going to vote for the Progressive Conservatives

Then, on to Mississippi

They have a special election, because both of their senate seats are empty right now

And so, since they don't have any senators, they may as well also get rid of their governor

as well

And their president, and their landlords, and their capitalists, and become Anarchist

Now, upon hearing that Mississippi has no more government, Tennessee will for the "Let's

Invade Mississippi Party" which will win the election

Now, on to West Virginia.

They have a lot of mountains

Why?

Because of plate tectonics and stuff.

Cool huh?

Anyways they're going to vote for Joe Manchin

Now, Nevada

If you remember my "Weirdest US State Borders Explained" video, Nevada's western border

is like that because California wanted to take a lot of stuff

So Nevada will elect the "Let's Invade California and Take Their Stuff Party" and

then invade California

So, I forgot to say Minnesota and Hawaii when I was listing the Republican states, so they're

uh… voting for the uh, light red party, cool huh?

Now, Arizona, Texas, and Florida

These states don't matter at all

Bye

U.S. to reinstate all Iran sanctions from Monday - Duration: 0:44.

Iran is bracing for what is going to be a major blow to its already shaky economy.

The Trump administration has announced the return of ALL U.S. sanctions on Iran that

were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin revealed the punitive

measures on Friday that take aim at Tehran's financial, energy, and transportation sectors;

specifically targeting the country's oil industry.

However, eight countries, including South Korea,... are NOT expected to be penalized

by Washington for continuing to import oil from Iran.

Tehran's foreign ministry said it isn't concerned about the return of the sanctions.

The measures will take effect from Monday.

What the U.S. midterms mean for Canada | Power & Politics - Duration: 2:01.

There are three possible outcomes in the U.S. midterms. Right now, the Republicans

control both the House and the Senate. So, they could maintain that control. The

second possibility — the Democrats could seize all of Congress. The final

possible outcome — what most pollsters are betting on — is that the Democrats take

the House, but the Republicans keep control of the Senate. A split Congress

could have big implications for Canada. First, there's trade the new USMCA faces

a congressional vote next year. And it needs majority support in both houses.

The Democrats likely won't want to pass anything with President Trump's stamp on

it, so they could block the deal. And then there's those tariffs Trump slapped on

steel and aluminum tariffs coming from Canada. Trump has the final say on those — but a

different congressional makeup could push back in different ways. Then there's

the economy. The stock market historically performs worse under a

split Congress. If you invest in US equities that's a risk. But there's also

potential relief. The Republicans have suggested they're not done cutting taxes.

Trump has already cut the federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 per cent.

That undercuts Canada's combined average corporate tax rate, which some business

leaders say gives the U.S. a competitive edge. A split Congress could block more

tax cuts and prevent that competitive gap from widening. Finally there's the

effect on the border and Canada's now-legal weed. Canadians who are in the

marijuana business, or who consume it, risk being turned away at the border —

even banned for life. A Democratic congressman has said he wants to fix

that. And his party should be able to if they gain some control in Congress. "It's

my hope that soon as the elections are over, we can sit down and talk about what

is it that Homeland needs from us, Congress, to move forward on this issue."

And that's why Canadians will be watching closely what happens in the

U.S. on November 6th.

Obama blasts Trump's deployment of troops to the U.S.-Mexico border - Duration: 10:06.

Barack Obama has blasted Trump's deployment of thousands of active-duty troops to the U

S.-Mexico border as a 'political stunt' in a fiery speech on Friday. The former President slammed Republicans for their aggressive stance against migrants trying to enter the United States during his speech rallying for Florida Democrats in Miami

'They're telling you the existential threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away,' he said on Republicans

 'They're even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border

 The men and women of our military deserve better than that. So they're just constant fear mongering to distract from the record,' he added

  His rebuke comes as some 7,000 military members are set to arrive at the border through the weekend

Trump says he's willing to send as many as 15,000 to support Border Patrol agents

 On Thursday the first 109 troops from the 591st Military Police Company were taken from Fort Hood, Texas, to to Lackland Air Force Base to help with operations there and on Friday the troops began to set up barbed wire on the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge

The troops that continue to trickle will likely meet the third caravan of 1,000 to 1,500 migrants who trekked from El Salvador and waded over the Suchiate River into Mexico on Friday

On Thursday Trump sparked outrage when he told reporters that if migrants throw rocks at troops or border patrol officers, the U

S. will retaliate.'I don't want these people throwing rocks,' the president said on Thursday, reflecting on violence that erupted on Mexico's southern border as the first of four caravans of Central Americans made their way north last week

'What they did to the Mexican military is a disgrace,' he said. 'They hit them with rocks

Some were very seriously injured, and they were throwing rocks in their face. [If] they do that with us, they're going to be arrested

There's going to be problems.''I didn't say shoot. I didn't say shoot! But they do that with us, they're going to be arrested for a long time,' he warned

  Speaking at the Miami rally wasn't easy for Obama, who was heckled by protesters

  But he handled the angry shouts and boos with grace saying: 'This is what I look forward to - is having a few hecklers to get me back in the mood

 I enjoy that. You always got to have a few in order to know that you're on the campaign trail

'At one point he addressed one heckler saying: 'Here's the deal. If you support the other candidates, then you should go support the other candidates

Don't be here.''One of the things I never understood was why if you're supporting the other guy, you come to my rally

Go to their rally,' he added. He was campaigning for Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, and Andrew Gillum, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate

 Obama is ramping up his campaign trail stops to push voters towards the polls as the midterm elections are four days away

After his stop in Miami, Obama headed to Georgia rallying for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams who is in a deadlock race with Republican Brian Kemp, saying: 'I'm here for one simple reason: To ask you to vote'

'The consequences of any of us staying home are profound because America is at a crossroads

The character of our country is on the ballot,' he added. He also accused Republicans of using 'scare tactics' in the election

 'They'll try to disenfranchise people and take away their right to vote.Stacey's opponent has already been caught multiple times,' he said

 Abrams has accused Kemp of voter suppression, accusations he calls 'farce'. 'Georgia, be unafraid

If they try to take away your right to vote, there's only one way to take it back: Vote,' he said

 On Friday Trump was campaigning for Republicans in West Virginia. As the campaign trail heats up ahead of the elections, tensions are rising at the U

S.-Mexico border. The third caravan just entered Mexico on Friday. They were not allowed to cross the bridge from Guatemala to Mexico so the group waded across the Suchiate River to enter Mexican territory

RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next First 100 troops arrive at US-Mexico border and start

'I didn't say shoot!' Trump says he never meant for the. Share this article Share The first caravan - and largest group of almost 4,000 - entered Mexico almost two weeks ago and is now in Donaji, Oaxaca

 The second caravan of 1,000 to 1,500 people is now in Mapastepec, Chiapas. It's unclear whether the first caravan will make a turn east to Mexico City to head to a stretch of the border

 As the journey goes on, many migrants have decided to remain in Mexico rather than try to enter the U

S. Mexico's Interior Department said on Thursday that nearly 3,000 migrants have applied for refuge in Mexico while hundreds have returned home

 At its peak, the caravan had about 7,000 people. Active-duty military troops are preparing for the flood of migrants and on Friday spent the day installing coils of razor wire on a bridge and a riverbank across Texas' Rio Grande Valley

The Pentagon said on Friday more than 3,500 troops have been deployed to staging bases along the border, including about 1,000 Marines in California

 Still, there were only about 100 troops at the border on Friday, working at and near a bridge leading to McAllen, Texas, the Rio Grande Valley's second-biggest city, with about 140,000 people

Midterms will be 'most secure' elections in US history: DHS chief - Duration: 6:54.

Tuesday's midterm elections will be the "most secure" elections in U.S. history, according to Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, though the U

S. government remains on high alert for any election-related mischief. "This is going to be the most secure election we've ever had," Nielsen told the audience at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Friday

"But as we all know, this is a dynamic threat, it changes by the minute." Nielsen said that "as of today," DHS has not seen a coordinated attempt by a foreign government to interfere in American voting infrastructure, such as voter databases, polling systems and voting machines, but pledged to notify state and local officials "the moment that changes

" "Everyone should vote. Everyone should feel confident that state and local [officials] are doing everything they can to secure the infrastructure," she said

"Because a very important thing here is the adversary wins if we don't vote, right?" Nielsen acknowledged that U

S. election systems are under "constant attack." Ahead of the 2016 election, hackers linked to Russia scanned or probed election infrastructure in all 50 states, DHS officials said, though they aren't believed to have manipulated any records

This year, Nielsen said, there were only a few "very limited cases" of access -- not attributed to a foreign campaign -- that had to be "mitigated

" John Cohen, former acting under secretary for intelligence and analysis at DHS, warned that the apparent lack of cyber activity targeting infrastructure could be misleading

After all, he said, professional hackers likely would've changed their tactics since 2016

"While they're not seeing the same type of scanning activity, [cyber officials] weren't expecting to

That's not how hackers in general, and in particular foreign intelligence services, operate," said Cohen, now an ABC News contributor

"If they've penetrated a network, they've developed a whole new way to do it." While the U

S. government has made progress in securing its systems to cyberattacks, Cohen said he's not "at all" as optimistic as Nielsen seems to be about the upcoming election

What Nielsen and Cohen, do agree on, however, is that the Russians appear to have continued the online influence operation to spread propaganda, disinformation and incendiary rhetoric that allegedly targeted the 2016 elections

U.S. officials and experts have seen, however, a continuation of the Russia-linked online influence campaign to spread propaganda, disinformation and incendiary rhetoric that allegedly targeted the 2016 elections

Last month, the Justice Department indicted a Russian national for her alleged role in the conspiracy, and court papers detailed how the Russians allegedly passed themselves off as Americans on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere to "sow division and discord in the U

S. political system, including by creating social and political polarization, undermining faith in democratic institutions, and influencing U

S. elections, including the upcoming 2018 midterm election." Nielsen said such online influence operations were "very pernicious" and "much more difficult to get our hands around" than the effort to secure election infrastructure

The FBI has taken lead on battling the disinformation online, but Nielsen said much of the strategy comes down to "educating" the American public to consider the source of the information they're reading

"We need to continue as a country to figure out how to combat that part," she said

She is worried, she said, that even the suggestion of irregularities on or after election night could undermine confidence in the process

"My biggest concern," Nielsen said, "is that a foreign entity will take the opportunity after the election or the night of the election to attempt to sow discord through social media by suggesting that something did not work as it should in a certain area

" Information operations experts recently described to ABC News the difficulty in fighting the online disinformation campaigns, as foreign and domestic trolls and bots continuously evolved to skirt new security policies implemented by social media companies

"So now the people at the first line of defense are the people at the tech platforms and what they're going to find is as they change the state of play, as they change the rules a little bit, the adversary is going to evolve and respond," said Renee DiResta, director of research at the Austin, Texas-based cybersecurity firm New Knowledge

"This is going to be an arms race that's going to play out kind of for the indefinite future

"

Supreme court allows trial on census citizenship question to proceed US news - Duration: 2:29.

Supreme court allows trial on census citizenship question to proceed US news

White House had asked the court to halt a trial on the legality of decision to ask those taking census if they are citizens

White House had asked the court to halt a trial on the legality of decision to ask those taking census if they are citizens

The US supreme court on Friday rejected a request by Donald Trump's administration to halt a trial set to begin on Monday that will test the legality of the government's contentious decision to ask people taking part in the 2020 national census whether they are citizens.

The administration had argued that there should be no trial in the legal challenge brought by 18 states to the citizenship question until the justices rule on a fight over evidence. That dispute includes whether the commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, whose department oversees the US Census Bureau, should be forced to answer questions under oath about his motivations for the politically charged decision.

An indefinite postponement of the trial, as sought by the administration, could have made it impossible to resolve the dispute before census forms are printed starting next year.

In March, New York led a coalition of Democratic states in a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a decision to include the citizenship question on the 2020 census.

The census is carried out every 10 years and helps to determine political representation in Congress, federal funding of programs and other matters.

The US Department of Commerce had said in a press release at the time that citizenship data would help the Department of Justice enforce the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voting rights.

In February, a coalition of state attorneys general had urged the commerce department not to add such a question, saying it could lower participation among immigrants and cause a population undercount.

New York's then-state attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, said the question asking residents about their citizenship status would create fear and mistrust in immigrant communities and could skew census results if some immigrants choose not to participate.

The Midterms Minute is the Democrats blue wall being rebuilt? US news - Duration: 1:58.

The Midterms Minute is the Democrats blue wall being rebuilt? US news

In today's politics news: Dems poised to pick up six in Pennsylvania; Bill Clinton persona non grata; early voting surpasses 2014

In today's politics news: Dems poised to pick up six in Pennsylvania; Bill Clinton persona non grata; early voting surpasses 2014

Good evening, I'm Ben Jacobs with the latest from Washington and beyond. If you're not already receiving the midterms minute by email, sign up.

Democrats are poised to pick up as many as six seats in Pennsylvania after redistricting reversed a Republican gerrymander and a slate of weak GOP statewide candidates have failed to appeal to swing voters.

Does this mean 'the blue wall' is being rebuilt? It certainly bolsters Democratic hopes of winning a key state that Trump narrowly won in 2016, particularly as Democrats are poised toperform strongly in suburban areas outside Philadelphia.

Does this have long-term consequences? Incumbent governor Tom Wolf is likely to win easily which means Pennsylvania Democrats can prevent a similar gerrymander in 2020 even if the GOP retains control of the state legislature. The result is likely to make Democratic congressional gains last into the next decade.

Bill Clnton is no longer an in-demand surrogate on the campaign trail. Clinton is making only a handful of appearances in the midterms, a stark change from his once constant presence on the campaign trail for embattled Democrats.

Is this #MeToo-related? Yes, the baggage of scandals from the 1990s looks entirely different in the modern era. Clinton already faced diminished status on the campaign trail in 2016 during his wife's unsuccessful bid for the White House.

In 17 states already, early voting has surpassed tallies from the 2014 midterms including key swing states like Florida and Nevada.

Does this mean turnout will increase? It seems likely as 2014 had the lowest turnout for any midterm election in over a half century and it's a sign of increased interest this time around.

Are these new voters? Some are. However, early voting has increased in every election and many of the ballots cast are from regular votes who are simply showing up at the polls earlier.

A new poll from Alaska Survey Research has Democrat Alyse Galvin ahead of Don Young, the longest serving member of the House, by a margin of 49-48.

Can Democrats win? Unlikely. Alaska is notoriously the most difficult state in the nation to poll and Young, first elected in 1973, is the longest serving member of Congress for a reason. However, Young has only won his past two races with just over 50% of the vote

Republican Steve King is finally on the air only days before the election with an ad that he has recycled from his 2014 campaign. King, who represents a safe Republican seat in western Iowa, has been plunged into controversy for his repeated racially charged statements including support for a racist fringe candidate for mayor of Toronto. Recently a slew of top Republicans have renounced him.

Is he in trouble? Although King is likely to narrowly pull out a victory due to the Republican lean of the district and the significant number of early votes that have been cast, it's likely to be a single digit race against Democrat J.D. Scholten.
