There did not seem to be any standout winners or losers senator cory booker may have revived his flagging campaign with an eloquent performance biden seemed more energetic than he had in past debates although he did seem to ramble at times. Sanders repeated well worn themes of democratic socialism while warren seemed to disappear from sight for long stretches of time during the debate the next democratic debate will be held on the 15th of october in ohio robert oulds al jazeera. Steve clemons is editor at large at the american political website the hill he explains where the divisions are coming from what we saw 2 deep divisions one over health care and how big the governments role would be who would be insured and not insured and you had these wings with Joe Biden Amy close with her and others in in wings of that argument saying the government cant do it all cant afford it all and they want to see something realistic where others with medicare for all which is one of the big proposals that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have proposed one a much bigger Government Role and tie into the tax dollars for that and i think the same is true on the gun debate that was another big current in the conversation and in that its interesting that while people were applauding better work and he was saying he would take these assault rifles away from people. You know amy club which are said she would not necessarily fund a a mandatory program that they would nestle do a mandatory buyback so again were seeing a divide in the Democratic Party between the pragmatic wing that looks i think a bit more realistically about costs and dollars and what they can do versus the idealistic wing on many of these questions china will exempt us pork soybeans and other Agricultural Products from new tariffs its the latest in several recent concessions between the worlds 2 biggest economies before a new round of talks on the trade war on wednesday u.

One day transport strike in paris has sparked massive traffic jams across the french capital most of the citys metro lines were shots causing huge crowds on the few still running for more on this lets cross over to marion now our c. N. N. Team in london and our european Broadcast Center merrier. Hi sami thats right and its not just the metro lines were talking about buses and trams have been affected as well there has been a serious disruption in the french capital as transport workers walked off the job over a planned pension overhaul in the 1st major strike action against president emanuel microns reforms to boost the economy but the reports on this now from paris. They were tailbacks on pariss famous channels an easy avenue and across the city with most of the metro bus and Train Service is closed people sought alternative ways to get around the biggest transport workers strike in the french capital for more than a decade cause travel chaos and frustration for commuters the idea is to be able to strike or protest using methods which dont prevent others going to work. Public transport because i thought you told me that even until a transport workers a protesting against the french president emanuel macros planned Pension Reforms the french government says it wants to streamline the complex and costly Pension System to make it fairer and financially sustainable in general dont but yet were going to build a truly universal system which for every year contributed gives everyone the same rights whether they are workers shopkeepers researchers farmers Civil Servants doctors or entrepreneurs these transport workers say they have worried their pensions could be reduced or they could be forced to work longer most people in france can retire at 62 but some transport workers can retire in a 50. Pension schemes a sacred except of jobs we shift where we are responsible for Public Safety but now they want to take our rights away but one of them all this we are being asked to take on increasingly difficult working conditions were losing what little compensation we had. Many people in france regard the state public Pension Scheme as a pillar of the french social system pretty. Yes french president s whove tried to reform it have backed down off the public opposition reforming frances Pension System was one of a man or might Cross Campaign promises but its fraught with risk opinion polls suggest that the french president s popularity is finally on the rise after a difficult year domestically because of the yellow face protests so hell have to tread carefully if he wants to avoid a new wave of street demonstrations before most french people probably accept the system needs changing its no longer financially viable for the coming decade so its a calculated risk but emanuel macro has gained in popularity since his good results in european elections and hes Great National debate so he has momentum the government says it will draw proposed Pension Reforms after lengthy consultations with trade Union Leaders and the public a strategy the president may be gambling on to give him the green light to continue with his sweeping reform agenda but it wont be easy workers from other sectors are planning similar strikes in the coming weeks natasha butler. Well in all the stories were following 3 employees of the Infrastructure Group being investigators as part of a probe into motorway viaduct safety in italy have now been placed under house arrest investigations launched following the collapse of the viaduct last year killing 43. 00 People Police say they found evidence that safety reports had been falsified or information didnt get it to mislead transport ministry inspectors around 70 employees at the Atlanta Group are already under investigation in a separate probe into the causes of that disaster the group denies any wrongdoing european powers are again pressing iran to cooperate with the uns Nuclear Watchdog irans government has been reducing its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal after the u. S. Withdrew last year and re impose sanctions the france germany and the u. K. Say they continue to support the deal when it came has more now from berlin. This is the most strongly worded statement by the 3 european powers so far this year regarding iran and its Nuclear Program the particular reference from the european powers to the natanz installation and indeed water iran has been doing that with enrichment of uranium involving the installation of centrifuges certainly from the european perspective they say that this is contravention of the agreement that iran arrived at with the 3 european powers with china with russia and with the Obama Presidency in the white house several years ago of course his successor President Trump repudiated the agreement and so it is therefore only the europeans the chinese and the russians who are still involved in this this is a particular blow for the europeans because they have been trying over the course of this calendar year to keep iran within the terms of the agreement and theyve been trying to do that with a financial scheme called instax designed to help iran legally to circumvent thats to get around the impact of economic sanctions from the United States government the problem here is that with each step taken by the iranian government these are the enrichment of uranium which goes beyond the terms of the agreement it becomes harder for the europeans to say that the iranians are not breaching the agreement which is why i must read this statement as a very strong as it were a rebuke from the europeans to iran one final point is that the i a e a general conference at the International AtomicEnergy Agency which which oversees such matters is meeting in vienna this week coming would be very interesting to see what is said about this situation.
