So day 2 of the 2nd round of debates between Us Democratic president ial hopefuls has just begun or be a lot of attention on the former Vice President and current front runner joe biden he was criticized for a lackluster performance at last months debate with john hendren is following that debate for us so john were only what about 15 minutes into these debates anything interesting so far what what can we expect of the candidates tonight. Well the 1st blow has already been struck in the 1st Opening Statement new york. City mayor bill de blasio struck out at both comolli harris and the front runner joe biden saying unlike them he was looking to transform the government and were expecting to see more of that joe biden wants to remain above the fray according to his campaign hes going to be talking about donald trump but hes got a target painted on his back and a lot of those candidates are expected to be gunning for him hes going to be standing right between is standing right now between korti booker and comolli harris both of them are africanamericans and both of them have been critical booker has criticized him on criminal justice because of some aggressive legislation that he pushed in the ninetys the result of which was more africanamericans ending up in prison kamel the harris as opposed him on things like bussing minorities to better schools which biden opposed years ago so we also have a number of candidates who are a low in the polls those people are going to want to get up and break through in this debate because otherwise they might end up out of the race so some of them are going to be gunning for biden some of them are going to be going for other candidates but i think what we can expect is a lot of fireworks right now what were hearing is Opening Statements weve had one combative Opening Statement but other than that were just waiting to see it all happen and of course the reason why were having a 2nd debate is because there are 20 of these candidates right now and its going to be 10 on each night then and a lot of democrats are hoping that that field is going to thin out at some point so how will will the race change after these debates. Well were expecting things to winnow out these debates or the 2nd major round of debates for the Democratic Candidates only 5 candidates didnt make this debate 20 of them did the party and many supporters want to win. That down that number and whats likely to happen is that a number of them will not qualify for the 3rd round of debates and of those 20 we expect perhaps fewer than half of them to qualify then money and support is going to dry up for the rest and bat will drive some of them likely out of the race we expect in the days after this debate it is very likely that some candidates will drop out but last night the progressives own the night Elizabeth Warren was widely viewed by people who reviewed it as the winner of that debate she and Bernie Sanders are really the most progressive candidates and they were attacked by several moderates again and again and again and again they struck back we put together a story on what happened last night take a look. In what purports to be the party of civility the contenders came out swinging you dont know 2nd of all because you know what i wrote the day a bell. On issue number one publicly funded Health Care Top polling Elizabeth Warren sought to put rival John Delaneys struggling campaign on life support. Why do we got to be the party of taking something away where the democrats were not about trying to take away health care from anyone and thats what the republicans are. Saying the republican talking points the revolutionaries of the Democratic Party warren and Bernie Sanders dominated the debate clock again and again warren went on the offensive you know i dont understand why anybody does to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really cant do and should fight for. This round of debates could dramatically narrow the field of candidates for some the race is over 5 candidates failed to qualify for this round of debates and of the 20 who remain less than half are expected to qualify for round 3 and for some who failed to breakthrough in detroit. Are likely already drying up the debates locale in the motor city was a reminder of the democrats failure in 2016 their supposedly solidly democratic blue wall crumbled in their former strongholds of pennsylvania wisconsin and detroits parent state michigan. Have to do they have to spend money here they have to wake up the populace and get them out to vote with another debate to go on wednesday where front runner joe biden will stand directly between his 2 biggest critics coming to Harrison Cory booker 92. 00 was expected to be at least as combative.

Economic indicators are humming along why dont just give them a little bit of a boost with this quarter percent rate cut he denied any political pressure but we do know that dog trump has been pushing for rate cuts from the fed larger than this one that is because clearly dont trust once the economy to keep on expanding into the 2020 Economic Cycle drone pilot 1st saying that he didnt see this is a long succession of rate cuts but then he clarified that suggested that there may be more rate cuts to come perhaps all truck will get hit more rate cuts simply because of his Economic Policy the only certainty over trade as a result of his trade wars and trade rhetoric but also the Economic Policy to prioritize enormous cuts for the wealthy and corporations and not Sustainable Investments into the u.

Its been controversial in india for years the use of the socalled triple tulloch by a man to divorce his wife is now outlawed a new law replaces the centuries old islamic practice but will it protect muslim women and is it politically motivated this is inside story. Hello welcome to the program im Adrian Finnegan a muslim man in india can no longer divorce his wife by simply uttering taluk the arabic word for divorce 3 times if a husband tries to do that he can now be jailed for up to 3 years the socalled triple tulloch method of instant divorce has been criminalized by Indias Parliament the upper house passed the bill on tuesday 2 years after the Supreme Court declared the practice unconstitutional but its sharply divided lawmakers and campaigners those in favor say the new measure protects muslim women opponents those say its unusual to criminalize divorce and that the punishment is too harsh others argue that marriage problems should be reviewed by Community Leaders and not by the government well the Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party b j p managed to pass the law after it had been blocked by the opposition for more than a year indias Prime MinisterNarendra Modi celebrated what he called a victory on twitter he said an archaic and mediaval practice has finally been combined to the dustbin of History Parliament abolishes tripple telecom corrects a historical wrong done to muslim women this is a victory of gender justice and will further equality in Society India rejoices today he says but opponents of the bill accuse his hindu nationalist b j p of targeting muslims. As of the day in a way see a member of parliament for the opposition all india. Had or muslimeen party said this law is against muslim women a marginalizes them even more the law forces a woman to stay in a marriage with an imprisoned man whod verbal he and emotionally abused her it puts the burden of proof on muslim women and forces her into impoverishment so what is the instant triple tahlequah practice as weve mentioned allows muslim men to divorce their wives just by saying the word it can happen anytime and by any means including telephone text message or by social media post the measure isnt used universally among muslims around the world different islamic schools of thought prefer the divorce process to be carried out over a period of 3 months allowing time for reflection and reconciliation more than 20 countries including neighboring pakistan and bangladesh have banned the practice the custom was prevalent among muslims in india which doesnt have a standard civil code. So lets bring in our guests for todays discussion from new delhi were joined by desh rather nigam whos a lawyer associated with the legal wing of the russian tria swam setback sang a Hindu Nationalist Organization joining us from london gareth price from Chatham House research and Current Affairs institute and via skype from new delhi come on through he has founder of the all india muslim personal law border Nongovernment Organization which supports the protection of muslim personal law in india deseret and if we can start with you are right in thinking that you are very much in favor of this bill if so why when its a discriminatory bill is needed unfairly criminalizes muslim men while those from other faiths who leave their wives commit only a civil offense. So that until you let us be very very clear this bill is for the rights of mary he muslims and men and also gender equality and gender justice it has nothing to do with religion now criminalization is on account of instant triples the luck not to belittle our instant to put a lock which is. One in one sitting by the off electronic means whatsapp s. M. S. Is email striking letters or spoken words that is what has been criminalized now women who used to live in constant fear and they were treated as slaves and property that they can be thrown out any time not this instant to put a lock has no basis in islamic law also it is illegal and void under islamic law also in this bag dont knock off these instant i would says what taking place in womens women were being thrown out now you have to make a distinction with abandonment no abandonment in other religion does not lead to divorce legal status of a person does not change but here despite the fact it is an islamist this practice this inhuman practice was going on in our society and therefore this initiative was not a started by hindu men it was a started by misleading muslims themselves they signed a petition 1000000 muslim men and women in india and most of them of women signed this petition and this process was initiated in the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court held the Supreme Court of india held that it is unconstitutional and illegal and despite the Supreme Court ordered this practices were continuing and women were being you know thrown out of the houses and therefore there was a lot of quiet to criminalize it and to make it as a deterrent you also have such kind of laws and in other islamic countries which is which is penal nature and people are sent to jail if they do not follow the lead down procedure so opposition by certain sections of people is on account of that would bend. Olympics which they are playing and kind of creating a fear mongering you know fear among the muslims in india that their religion is being affected their society is being affected but end of the day this is about being their fundamental rights according their fundamental rights and other rights that the constitution of india gives them come out for ok in new delhi youre opposed to the bill of people like you anti women has is as has been claimed many times in the debate leading up to the passing of this bill. Subtle thank you very much emphasis on since america the new government of dave started saying something about that and prostitution so i have to do one thing if you only one who says that it is illegal in islam i think you need to go away for the teaching of islam and muslims but it is not easy to get yes it has not been seen as the most fervent belief and of things. Announced the busy divorce but it does not leave and its not understanding this is well apart biggest part of them and it is being used that i had only in this country by the end of his pull up are so you must understand if this is not going on this time interval is the number and not if you go in they stopped yes it does not be if there were and if you believe but then most of the bible it is seen it is not as one of the backing in fact but is not always said if their own if the husband and im not going to get together and the other thing but what was certainly going to set in fact that plain fact and that and i think that this point will be full of shit and if you see thats a medium of events and men have stepped in theyre going to perdition this is absolutely the home the genesis of the whole case is that and its a very unique kind of situation in my country where and on theres been so important jacks right here by the senate leaving a lot of. Judgment on it in all women today on Different Party unfortunately that they did to him and not get that way it is fatal for this kind of things you plus the judgment that didnt matter and one of the definite says that after having about that he did is this not the guest just back end of the. It by the end of the judgment not just man he sat there and we have also come to know what you know what except trying to leave New Hampshire indeed etc as if you have also come across that it was stupid and also will be some pretty bizarre behavior seems so look we have to. 5 b. And 5 b. At the end he says the just man and the last 2 letters and he said theyd is proper for us to definitely 11 arent who you give him so this is not this is not on the basis of the me as all of the events of argument because ive been of the same it is in fact on the ship you often occupants or died and it is unique it has come and i often use up to 6 months not this guy is so deadly that lets not. Stop it making the appeal and mark on time that he spent a lot of effort but if i just meant its impact and. There was a new kind of judgement in the name and im not the. One of the unit that come out little i have to just because im going to im going to interrupt you to come i will come to the detail a little bit later in the program i notice that you didnt submit my question that people like you anti women. No absolutely not normal student can be undocumented and he would not be a muslim if you did and it meant because its ump used islam or the one of the 1st religion in the word which gives the equal right to do but. If you meant what and it gives it definitely later in to provide given that i have been given that it also gives that i dont remember what all about them maybe if she feels that shes not being treated properly it would be just garbage and it demands it then of course the correct procedure would be that it should be given in the t. V. Months that be there and then it or not but if there is an option that was an option but just r. B. C. Then it wouldnt absolutely break the same that the plot was also given but it does being but it doesnt rule out lecturers who are made today and you can find out in our website also that we have discussed it is and of the law it is the guide but to be discredited that is that is in fact and we are not no mr gandhi and the human weve got to get consent of our men so that it is of all of their god not exist but that id like gareth price in london why was the government so determined to push this bill through and then the government would make the case that. In the past 7 anomalies in the personal law have benefited what you would describe as the Minority Community muslims and i think there clearly is a long term trend towards some kind of uniform civil code i think the ability for. Muslim men and get a divorce their wives by saying the last 3 times which is as he pointed out is isnt. Allowed in many other actually islamic majority countries is something i think its quite hard to defend sir i think its become a sort of this is the. The touchstone of a reordering. The personal codes so its not in itself anti muslim its just the government doing what it said it was going to do when it came to power it sits in the governments manifesto i mean i would point out there are many things that are illegal within india that dont necessarily have that has not necessarily made a difference so for instance diaries have been illegal in india since 1961 but theyre still quite prevalent and marriages in there so i think this is this is something where the government the government doesnt have a majority in the upper house but where enough lawmakers of other parties were able to. To support this particular measure ok rotten is not the case that whats actually required in the india as gas was saying there was a uniform civil code that treats all citizens regardless of their religion their race their gender equally. Yes yes theres no doubt and we have laws among hindus which have been in character and therefore nobody can say that but this year it is again i reiterate that this is not a question of abandonment it is a question of the change of the legal status of of life from being a vice to a dive ost person and that is all again on the basis of something which is illegal unconstitutional in human. The law has not you know considered to put a lock as illegal it is the instant to put a lock is just a lock it but that which is done at one sitting which keeps the reman very fearful on tenterhooks and theyre treated like slaves and property so this is different from being an abandonment where the legal status does not change of the vice and therefore the people who are trying to you know speak against this law are the ones who do not want you know the hedgie many of certain sections of men among the muslims to go of it and theyre trying to create fear among the minorities and consolidate the muslims as of what bank which is which is where the entire politics is coming and let me tell you that a few things very important out here that i have seen men who are opposing it initially but when it happens in their family they start supporting this bill so that kind of situation is also there this is grover men it is about their rights it is about gender equality and justice and cannot be seen from the narrow you know vision of religion come on through keep. People like you opponents of the bill just want to create fear among the minorities how do you answer that. Now this is again descending obvious but your conception of a defensive situation to both you said again something that is in fact one of the muslims we get the muslims serve but i did just that in 5 percent of the people population of and there are absolutely no part of it will change the whole scenario of what the guests muslims i dont think you can buy a 2nd one if i do that the at the border battle that went on since ive been chased on will think now if mr nigam has used the wanted to get wanted to go think what but what politics and even going to get them out of and we are absolutely not and you know what is happening right now in the county that people have been here for 2 minutes but all but at least when youre out on and youve been dinged for granted theyre not the other and what it is how this and i decide who is doing that what it is and not just that i am not a Political Party and simply a man out of the but who is using me as if i want was there and being treated as a bad man and i want to save you just still a particular order back which has happened in the election not so and just an event in a still going on so little believe it john i dont know as there be out what exactly that will do is absolutely absurd because absolutely we have nobody yet in the majority in the country if you install only a bit of your stance yet but some. Of it is in the works but at the end you have absolutely not that not and that may have been present 15 percent population of the country it is having i believe 2224 and member of parliament this engagement this excludes i meant that if you should be in at least 63 of the population is that what im going to go through that be i did it and it and nothing can get it and what of the system its not certain but who is using it as a political front we are not doing it again not given we are not the ip who is the body sitting on is that the i deserve the fight to be happy is that i get there im professional. Thats the only difficulty you got there one paul but me and adams didnt go to. The video as it is 2nd class it is that and they want to show it that look we have to use them as that and thats what hes done in fact that theyll be doing it why would i be doing it i just listen to them why would i be doing it im not going to get it the only thing is that a Supreme Court has only said and it was there may not make it only sad that the most the fundamental takes up the sound theyre going to be cheap im going to 100. 00 and im going. To look at this maybe legion ok and this is the parker but you know what well lets lets put that to death for a time do you want to try to come back on that. Yeah the fact remains i think this is not personally in this to fight ok im talking about certain people and sections of a polish busy Political Parties who are opposing this bill now look at how they had been in the upper house of Indian Parliament they all privately want this bill to be passed but publicly oppose it in the parliament they abstained from voting and some of them walked out which brought down the mark of majority below a certain level and therefore this bill was very easily passed so they have to face is but in the public and one in private in private when it happens among in their own family they start supporting this this bill but otherwise in public they start opposing i think everybody should be clear about the fundamental right of right to life or dignity to of women which isnt shined in our constitution it has nothing to do with religion that right does not to talk about hindus and muslims it is a neutral religiously neutral fundamental right and that is what has been given through and the Supreme Court judgement was not acting as a document and therefore and the cases number of cases were increasing and going on im only talking about reported cases that are huge number of under porter cases which are there despite the Supreme Court judgement and therefore this law was absolutely necessary to mensa paid the women about gender justice and equality and to make a law to act as a decadent. The Supreme Court ruling had little impact on the ground will this law change anything its just going to lead to an increase in men leaving their wives without getting divorced to all polygamists i think how it plays out in practice is as a as you think crucial. That was against diary as a saying a very early applied. In india is is it going to be used to target members of us as a specific Muslim Community is it just going to add to the backlog of cases in indias already overstretched legal system. Time will time will tell but like i say that the passing of laws of itself doesnt necessarily change the brain reality and that i mean in the goddess of religion and large parts of north india theres a huge number of challenges to. The status of women in society and both communities and in some of the some of the states and north india female you know the female percentage of the labor force is less in afghanistan so theres a whole series of gender challenges which seem to be faced up to again if theres a outside observer whats your view is there a hidden agenda behind this bill i think the ruling party would say as as as you tell us your speaker from the r. S. S. Said that this is this is not good for womens right is not good for the status of women. The fact that its applies in the muslim communities is currency dental but i think the fact that it is quite difficult to defend means theyre actually passed in the upper has i think if this is the signal of something. Here this is step one and then there been various other actions taken itll be much harder for the government to push it through their hands say so lets see if its this kind of symbolic or whether its the 1st step and. Ironing out various anomalies in the muslim personal or to shorten a ok past the upper house has it though this bill been properly scrutinized by lawmakers why would the government send it to a select committee for instance for revision see so little yes yes i have an answer this is not a new bill this bill has been debated in the last session of the parliament and certain you know changes were so just to buy a position those cigar then changes have been incorporated busy in the bill and this is the new bill that has come up and that was introduced and passed so the concern of the oppositions what all of it taken care of there were suggested by the opposition and those provisions have been included in the new bill and it was totally scrutinized and debated in parliament and it is not necessary to be sent that is no mandatory requirement to be sent to Parliamentary Committee also a committee and this is if it had been a new bill which would not have been debated at least one could ever understood the demand of sending it to a select committee the suggestions made by the oppositions have already been incorporated there are safeguards to prevent the misuse of this this particular law and therefore there you know demand for sending it to a select committee is all most has no basis come out why so many people like you and Community Leaders in india against this bill when many other muslim majority states even pakistan a bangladesh next door have regulated triple to. I dont want to. Discuss that point i think not only that it should but i just want to respond to what new comes out and frankly there is a man in fact that again it must be a fact what hes saying is absolutely not fair you know generally the he was talking is a bluff and mr person has to go in 40 years give that is a must that the book would have been better in a way the luckless and he could have got it not you could not mean it wasnt going to be 8 and yet it was and he possibly by the book will get the list there is access divorces very people that it will be argument because people can do the live for today yes now what they have done it but its only going to say they have slightly made a change that now it will not be the out say that its going to be deployed relational k. And it is complex the relation is the longest and as you noted that relations that concern us that these disputes are going to spend some time it happens in the family except are so deep our son come always be planned to be automatically in the box behind other parts of it can contribute to that and he was or mr track time as it was of an image to be a guest comment time as you point out is is tied you kind of minutes come out on to the question you didnt want to answer which is why a 70 people in india against the regulating of triple tulloch when when was the majority countries like pakistan and bangladesh have done so. Yeah i suppose you have. To get the hat made. And you dont. Want it and in that context you have to wait it will be just made in automatically and it will get worse will not be.
