Washington and 10 Democratic Party president ial hopefuls have taken part in a National Debate in Houston Texas reforming health care gun laws and immigration they were the major themes in this the 3rd debate but this was the 1st time that the 3 frontrunners former Vice President joe biden and said this is Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders had shared the same stage well throughout the debate the candidates took turns at challenging joe biden. Do you lose your job for instance his his Health Care Plan would not automatically enroll you would have to opt in my Health Care Plan would thats a big difference im fulfilling fulfilling the legacy of brock obama and youre not ill be surprised him. Entering. This is like my gosh you know its are becoming on watchable yeah when its reminds everybody of what they cannot stand about washington going points against each other and okaying at each other and telling each other that your my plan your plan look we all know thats called a democratic primary election ahead of you out of its total lets you know like you know this. And this is what some of the potential candidates had to say about gun violence. In odessa i met the mother of a 15 Year Old Girl who was shot by an a r 15 and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that an ar 15 in odessa in midan there werent enough ambulances to get to them in time hell yes were going to take her a r 15 or a k 47 was. More now from our correspondent who was there at the debate rob reynolds. There were relatively few moments of any high drama during this debate here in use then it seems unlikely that the status of the 3 front runners former Vice President joe biden senator Bernie Sanders and senator Elizabeth Warren will be changed by what has happened here there were some sharp moments of the exchanges and disagreements particularly over the issue of health care where there are real differences between the candidates very plans for providing universal coverage for all people in the United States there was a moment when former cabinet secretary leon castro provoked gasps from the crowd when he seemed to question 76 year old bidens memory saying did you just forget something that you said only 2 minutes ago and biden seemed to be taken aback from by that. Former congressman bates or rourke got cheers from the crowd when he talked about gun control and about banning assault weapons saying hell yes we are going to take away these weapons of war from people and make sure that theyre not being used against the American Public i think it was interesting that senator warren faded into the background for long stretches of time during the debate when she spoke she was a very spot on and very very good on policy but she didnt get a lot of air time and finally i think a senator cory booker the senator from new jersey Whose Campaign has been flagging may have give himself a bit of a new lease on life with a very eloquent performance on the stage here in euston the next debate will be held in october in the swing state of ohio. While another of correspondents watched the debate and she was with people from the bull to town of macallan. Dissipate watch party is hosted by a group called the texas civil rights project and they are a group that. Activists who look out for the interests of Asylum Seekers and immigrants trying to enter the United States when violence and poverty in Central America and so the people here say they are particularly invested in hearing what some of these democratic president ial candidates are proposing as solutions to this migrant issue in a particularly concern to them is the u. S. Supreme court ruling that came out this week which allows the Trump Administration to continue its very controversial policy of automatically denying u. S. Asylum to anyone who shows up at this border and who hasnt applied for asylum in another country that they passed that in effect bands for decades of u. S. Asylum laws and the activists here say that is simply an acceptable also there is just the every day challenges of living life here so close to the border and they say under the trumpet ministration lifestyle here has changed theres a significant amplification of the Law Enforcement presence theres more surveillance and there is the border wall that is planned to be built in their backyards. Now to east africa and the u. N. Has warned that 2000000 people in somalia face starvation by the end of summer unless the world takes immediate action has been one of the driest seasons in more than 3 decades mohamed odeh reports from by doa in southwestern somalia. There seems to be no letup in the flow of people into the city all by door insult. The been displaced by brault a most to hungry and desperate. The few medical facilities run by agencies all full of sick. Children. Like most people here more to a limb to walk more than 10 kilometers to get help for his sick child i dont see negin. My son is a year old and has been sick for 2 months i had to bring him here for help i have no intention of returning to a village till hes fully recovered. On the outskirts of the city we meet more displaced people whove just arrived during droughts in the past many left it too late before moving to sick help but that seems to have changed the must have movement of people to the cities ha seen a huge rice in the number of pumps for the displaced in by door in 2016 there were just 70 such comments today there are 401 3rd to 5 of them with a population of more than 360000 people. That is more than the original inhabitants of the city aid workers say the world has failed to respond adequately and they need more donations to have a mission id be the numbers of those in need keep growing by day and far outstrip the resources we have the donors are trying their best but we never seem to be able to catch up with a growing number of displaced. People and United Nations emergency aid coordinator husband visiting by door he says people here need much more than food aid haitian development away solution ideally people would have a chance to go home and rebuild their lives its not always possible so then its a question often of land access to services and support where they come to and that in that means theres a need for a supportive discussion from the local authorities some of the displaced told us that also fled the violence of alshabaab fighters who are also forcing children to join the group. This crisis is happening as communities are already struggling to recover from a 2 year long drought that ended in 2017 nomadic pastoralism has been a way of life for millions of somalis for centuries but the droughts are threatening that many of the displaced say they now have more farms or hearts to go back to and its unlikely many of them will every time.
