&lt;p&gt;Which candidate does the rest of the world want to see in the White House? The 2008 US presidential election campaign has generated more interest worldwide than any before it. A recent series of Gallup poll findings have shown that a fair number of factors are influencing opinions worldwide about who want to see as the next American leader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, in Africa findings show that among Africans who have an opinion, Barack Obama is the clear favourite in the US presidential race. The poll findings also suggest that Africans are not connecting the Bush's administration initiatives on the continent to John McCain, the Republican candidate. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, Africans' responses as to whether the outcome of the US election actually makes a difference suggest that regardless of who the next president is, they do not think it will impact them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Europeans overwhelmingly said that the outcome of the US presidential election is relevant to their country. And without a doubt the candidates know the importance of the continent. Both presidential nominees have made trips to Europe in the last year to visit leaders there and have stressed the importance of having strong relations with European allies, many of which express low approval of US leadership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the next Riz Khan we delve deeper into these poll findings and speak to analysts and journalists from around the world as they weigh in on the US presidential elections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As global recession looms, Eastern Europe is looking increasingly vulnerable.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ukraine and Hungary have asked for economic support from global institutions and the European Union. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And further north, the often praised Baltic economy is coming to a halt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From the Latvian capital Riga, Neave Barker reports.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The prosecution of an alleged ultranationalist conspiracy aimed at the overthrow of Turkey's government will investigate whether current members of the military, intelligence services and state bureaucracy were involved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The trial of 86 people accused of being members of the so-called Ergenekon gang, some of them senior retired military officers, begins on October 20, 2008. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Al Jazeera's Mohamed Vall reports on the allegations which go to the very heart of Turkish nationalism.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia has embraced a capitalist system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Within 17 years, the Russian capital boasted more billionaires than any other city in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, as Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports, not everybody is getting a share of the profits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While politicians grapple with the banking credit crisis, many investors are turning to other ways to safeguard their wealth - by recapitalising on gold.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new gold rush ignites as investors and savers queue on the streets of London to get their hands on gold coins determined to move their wealth into safe haven assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher reports on the people buying - and selling - gold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One major contributing factor to the global credit crisis was undoubtedly the bursting of the housing bubble in countries such as the United States and Great Britain. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Germany that bubble never happened -house prices have been static for the last ten years.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Al Jazeera's Nadim Baba has been finding out why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Barack Obama: "A New Strategy for a New World"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Senator Barack Obama gives a policy address on Iraq and National Security at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, D.C. This program was recorded on July 15, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Barack Hussein Obama (born August 4, 1961), is the junior United States Senator from Illinois. According to the U.S. Senate Historical Office, he is the fifth African American Senator in U.S. history and the only African American currently serving in the U.S. Senate. He is a candidate for the Democratic Party's 2008 presidential nomination.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996. Four years later, he made an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House of Representatives. Obama won reelection to the state senate in 2002, running unopposed. As early as 2002, he was a critic of the proposed Iraq War, declaring in a television interview that he would have voted against the Iraq Resolution. In 2004, he ran for an open seat in the U.S. Senate. Midway through the campaign, Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and became a nationally known political figure. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with a landslide 70% of the vote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama formally announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the US and UK economies have been lurching from one crisis to the next, things are looking much better in Eastern Europe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Poland in particular, the economy has grown so much in recent years, that many Poles who've left the country to work elsewhere in Europe are returning home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From Warsaw, Jayne Azzopardi reports.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/09/04/How_Does_News_Media_Impact_Elections"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Frank Esser, Media Research Professor at the University of Zurich, explains why Barack Obama enjoys high popularity ratings throughout Europe, and why Europeans in general express such a high level of interest in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join swissnex and our esteemed panel to discuss the media/politics nexus inside election campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the course of the evening we will gain a better understanding of the interplay between systems of political mass communications, party competition and election polemics by exploring the relationship between media and politics - Swissnex&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Frank Esser is Professor and Chair of International &amp; Comparative Media Research in the Department of Mass Communication and Media Research at the University of Zurich. He was assistant professor of mass communication at the University of Mainz and the University of Missouri-Columbia, and visiting professor at the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on cross-national studies of news journalism and political communication. He has published five books including Comparing Political Communication: Theories, Cases, and Challenges and sixty book chapters and journal articles. Esser is on the editorial boards of Journalism and The International Journal of Press/Politics, and serves as Vice Chair of the Journalism Division of the International Communication Association (ICA).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Zurich he is co-director of the NCCR Democracy, a National Center of Competence in Research funded by the Swiss Science Foundation, to study the impact of globalization and mediatization on Western democracies. A current project compares election campaign coverage in nine countries (U.S., Mexico, Spain, Italy, Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland) and aims at identifying the underlying differences between political news cultures. Another project investigates the degree of media-centeredness of election campaigns in various countries.&lt;/p&gt;
