A chance but Michael Michael outlines her plans for a new National Spending and a key budget speech German Government has gone into debt to solve the globe incredible price of this. Party support still her. Polands failed g. B. T. Community is being marginalized by the warsaw government hoping the European Commissions new report on the rule of law could change the. Im sorry martin good to have you with this there was no holding back u. S. President donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden went on the attack in a chaotic 1st televised debate Moderator Chris Wallace struggled at times to control the discussion as the candidates repeatedly interjected and talked over. Each other the answers often devolved into angry exchanges and personal insults. The debate questions ranged from the economy of Race Relations to violence in the u. S. And the coronavirus were now going to check the accuracy of some of the candidates statements starting with joe biden on the way the 19 is impacted the countrys africanamerican population one in 1000 africanamericans has been killed because of the cone the coronavirus and if he doesnt do something quickly by the end of the year one in 500 will have been killed one in 500 africanamericans or from ball on joined by yasha veba d. W. Fact checker good to see you 1st of all one in a 1000 africanamericans has been killed because of the coronavirus thats what we just heard from joe biden is bidens claim true. Well in fact there are differences if you look down to the statistics often ethnicity africanamericans have to suffer a lot more during this crisis one in 1020 black americans has died so far and while one in 2150 of white americans has died that means 98 black americans died per 100000 people and 47 white americans and also other new cities like latino asian or indeed genos americans have lower death rates following the statistics of the American PublicMedia Research lab and even if we consider that an absolute numbers there are more and more white people to die from this corona virus we have to say that joe bidens claim is correct black americans are more than twice as likely to die from this disease compared to white people and it looks like that this development will continue although we cant say if bidens prediction of a big increase by the end of the year of fatalities is correct. A sobering statistic there well lets jump to another topic of this debate Climate Change heres what President Trump had to say on his plan to protect the environment i want Crystal Clean water and air i want beautiful clean air we have now the lowest carbon if you look at our numbers right now we are doing phenomenally. Doing phenomenally well does the u. S. Have the lowest Carbon Emissions in the world yasha this claim by president is at least misleading 1st of all the trumpet administration isnt exactly known for being green or putting the environment 1st the us have left the part paris climate agreement into those 19 and on a National Level the trauma administration has reversed or is he was a 100. 00 and foreman for rules as the New York Times has listed all of them and if donald trump sais that he wants clean air one shouldnt forget that he also weakened several Clean Air Act revelations so concerning this claim on the carbon its not clear what exactly he refers to but if we consider it its not correct that the u. S. Recently reduced or its correct that the u. S. Recently reduced its Carbon Emissions by more than any country in the world falling numbers of the International Energy agency but the us are far away to have the lowest carbon emission in the world by capita several statistics such as the world bank show that the us are among the countries with the highest Carbon Emissions per capita so i think greater to a book would agree with the president in this point that hes doing a phenomenal job ok another topic getting a lot of attention is trumps claim that mail in voting is going to result in massive fraud this is what he had to say on that topic. Theres fraud they found him in pricks they found some with the name trump just happen to have the name trump just the other day in a waste paper basket they have being sent all over the place they sent to in a democratic area they set out a 1000 ballots everybody got 2 ballots this is going to be a fraud like youve never seen. So is that true or is there evidence is the reason to believe that there will be huge voter fraud because of mail in voting no we cant see them on our team check this claim and we think its at exeter rated President Trump keep telling us that the mail in voting will cause a car tax situation and it will be money or fellated until now he didnt present any proof for this theory in this debate he mentioned some examples so lets have a closer look on this in wisconsin they found 3 trays with letters in a ditch yes but following a statement by the u. S. Postal service it is uncertain if these ballots were completed all but only made it to the voters and in pennsylvania the other example there were 9 bela papers in a rubbish bin 7 and none of them were votes for trump so even if we consider these cases which are still under investigation for sure there is no evidence for historical fraud in this election so far of concern there about whether trump is trying to build a case already for challenging the Election Results well another big topic was the question of how much income tax President Trump has been paying its listen but im asking you the specific question is it true that you paid 750. 00 in federal income taxes each of those 2 year i paid millions of dollars in taxes millions of dollars of income tax and let me just tell you there was a story in one of the papers they were eager to i paid 38000000 dollars one year i paid 27 michaud issues to actually hear i went youll see it as soon as its finished youll see it. Of course all of this coming from revelations by the New York Times it says it has copies of trevors the president tax filing so what does the fact checker say on this issue. Well its actually a mention of the New York Times reports some days ago showed us that he paid only 750. 00 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 17 so this claim of trump is not only false the figures show Something Else lets compare it to an average u. S. Household of the middle class in the us that paid 2200. 00 in 2016 so more than twice as trump the president already claimed before that he is paying a lot of taxes but he failed to deliver approved to in this case he keeps saying that the public have to wait for it and hes reportedly paid no income taxes at all for 10 of the previous 15 years so it would be good if he doesnt let us wait too long for this. More power to the Fact Checkers yasha vapor from d. W. In bonn thank you so much. Take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today britains lower house of parliament has approved legislation to regulate the u.

These scenes have put the International Community on edge. But for the residents of both mania and as a british on they have been a long time coming. As it wasnt all the as i by johnny ami will win this war and we will return to our historical lands a lot of those that did it is in this that you think jury is out if my country needs me as a soldier i am ready even at my age i get off and of course we are afraid of a long war but the civilian population and the military must be ready for it. It is better to be free later than to continue this false pace. The focus of the fighting is that theyre going to car back region the dispute itself is decades old beginning in the early 1990 s.

Now how is germany shaping europe during its e. U. Presidency and how well is on americas government coping with the coronavirus pandemic those are 2 of the key questions chancellor merkel addressed during the annual budget debate in the German Parliament this morning that is due to attend a summit of e. U. Leaders on thursday germany took over the rotating your presidency in july as the bloc faces an array of challenges the biggest being the coronavirus pandemic but rising nationalism and disagreements over migration policy are also threatening e. U. Unity as the bloc seeks to shore up its role on the world stage. Lets get some reactions for on the chancellors speech by bringing in our senior Political Editor make it a couple shes at the bonus talk or chancellor merkel spoke just a short while ago an important speech for acol there her last budget speech as chancellor what do you make of it. Well quite a speech it was because it became very emotional she turned to the german people literally saying we need to talk we need to talk about corona and she was preparing everybody for the situation to get worse now heading into a winter time she said that infection rates are rising and that there need to be conversations at every level of German Society in schools in clubs in Sports Grounds to discuss everybodys individual responsibility this is a chance of bracing for what probably will be a 2nd wave of infections here and she pledged once again she wants to avoid a 2nd shutdown bearing in mind that germany sat down with was a lot milder than in most other countries across the e. U. She said that that is the aim but she wants to avoid it and she needs the help of the german public very unusually emotional for the german chancellor here and we killer youve covered a number of speeches of course by the chancellor what would you say is the most important takeaway from this very far ranging speech. Well she said this is the hour of Europe Clearly pointing towards the e. U. Summit going up and coming up that there needs to be agreement on migration there was also a lot of criticism of china of russia. But no mention of the United States so clearly she wasnt just treading a fine line she was leaving out that key ally after that president ial debate that we saw there with again donald trump not wanting to say that he would accept defeat in public so that raised a lot of question marks while she avoided that issue altogether also somewhat glossing over a lot of the disagreement within the e. U. She called for you partners to have agreement on migration but we all know that the u. S. Still struggling to find a Foreign Policy common line particular on bella ruse where theres still no agreement on sanctions against a president who is no longer accepted by the e. U. So this was a sweeping speech but most of the time by far was spent on corona on the multilateralism the german chancellor sees this absolutely necessary to tackle this but also describing coronas somewhat a catalyst of destroying the unity that was there before across the world so once again putting more responsibility on the e. U. Soldiers the occasion for this speech of course is a general budget debate in the German Parliament chancellor merkel talked a lot about the budget of course which had to be changed rapidly due to the pandemic lets listen in to what she had to say on the. Water we had an extraordinary emergency situation. Where we did all that was necessary in the way of new decisions thank you for just to react fast and. Smartly particular because the last 6 years we hunt more that morning which is why we were able to my. To reduce the borrowing for the year 29000 to 60 percent of what it was previously all of that just made it possible for us to act with restraint while at the same time among the g 7 countries were the ones with the lowest government borrowing rates and i think that is something we can be prone to. And watching a speech was the 1st applause she got in her speech make illegal merkel stressing the importance of austerity tell us whats behind that. Oh its always very interesting to observe her speak in a very matter of fact tone when really what she was describing a complete turnaround in more than a decades long policy by germany to avoid common debt what a difference just over 6 months make what a difference a pandemic makes this saw germany completely drop its resistance to common debt that is also a historic moment in what america once again described as a historic crisis for germany and europe and it shows the determination and the will to simply drop resistance at the within minutes actually what feels like political minutes and then be pragmatic to try and ensure that the e. U. Stays together within this external pressure of a pandemic but of course with no guarantees if you look at the Broad Spectrum of challenges that europe faces right now. Here thank you very much for your insights that was our chief Political Editor. Well chancellor merkel has announced new measures in response to local spikes in covert 19 infection rates in germany she vowed to avoid a full International Lockdown instead announcing what she called a hotspot strategy after a meeting with the leaders of the countrys 16 total states the new steps come amid a rise in case numbers here we visited a major clinic in berlin to find out how theyve coped so far. Who not eagle had just started working here at the helios clinic in berlin and the curve on our virus pandemic reached germany a young assistant doctor is still impressed by just how quickly the hospital reacted last match. We reallocated parts of our central surgery room to be used as a new intensive care unit within 24 hours of. Parallel to this entire coronavirus Treatment Centers were set up in berlin equipment was scarse and management was worried there were not enough then to late as many hospitals had to improvise the 1st wave of infection also had the helios clinic by surprise. And how it was from a cup of tea tape as far as testing capacities are concerned in terms of musts and protective clothing we are prepared to have what we know where and when to hospitalized patients we can make quick diagnoses and quick decisions. Everyone who arrives at the hospital is tested for coronavirus before they are admitted and patients are strictly separated those who test negative go to the green ward those who test positive go to the red ward suspected cases to the general ward pool no teagle feels this system is safe. I havent seen a single case of patients infecting stuff since the measures when. Now treating coronavirus patients has become a routine. The rest of the hospital is back to business as usual the nursing staff has returned to taking care of patients who arent infected with corona virus. We have returned to our usual activities and the employees are relieved to be able to get back to that everyday work the applause heard from german balconies has quieted down people seem to have forgotten how important their work is. It was no pay rise or any token of appreciation for the nursing staff. That so many coronavirus deniers are taking to the streets these days is something nasas and doctors cant understand because you tube you need some people say ive never seen corona so i dont believe in it ive never seen electricity but i dont put my finger in the socket weve seen corona here weve seen deaths here. Has seen the effects of the corona virus firsthand but he knows that his hospital is well prepared for what the pandemic might bring. The European Commission presents its new report on the rule of law today after a pledge by e. U. Commission cheap to take harsher action against Member States who flouted hungarys government has come under scrutiny for its increasingly authoritarian methods but many people have their eye on poland too because of its treatment of the l g b t community. Pictures like these are the reason why i bought starship ski is getting death threats. He puts up the sign of the entrance to tell us that a socalled. Free zones shining a spotlight on the difficulties gay people face in poland. The situation they laugh or we are not showing off or we are in the closet where we are at our house not showing that we are scared of being beaten i am scared of being. Scared that somebody will wait for me in front of my house almost 100 local governments have declared themselves free of l g b t ideology these declarations are not legally binding. But Rights Groups say they fuel hunger phobia even outside the zones counter protesters have repeatedly attacked members of the our g. B. T. Community as you can see here. I have seen do you know if it is fake is. Right we are spreading. That its not just life its the people who are trying stones on to us. Polands ruling and Justice Party is behind much of the antigay rhetoric it claims to be protecting traditional family values here we have to defend ourselves against the l g b t people their way of life is the road to perdition it leads to the dismantling of basic social structures in which the family plays the most fundamental role. The European Union has condemned polands treatment of its community i want to be close to clear l g b t q i have 3 zones i assure manatee free zones and they have no place in ours union in july and the e. U. Commission rejected grants to 6 polish towns that had socalled l g b t free zones. But barge wants to see more concrete action. So i expect that European Union obey not the union of empty wars about something more. That the people. Until that equality becomes a reality and. He will continue his fight.

By in munich. In the german super cup on wednesday night in munich the game between the champions and runners up was meant to happen before the League Season but the credit disruption means it got pushed back it comes at a time when both sides are looking there will. By and munich have bidding for a 5th trophy this year in the super cup against dortmund but the otherwise all conquering bavarians are smarting they suffered a shock for one defeat at hoffenheim in their 2nd bonus the game at the weekend the roy son name is also out of the super cup through injury and i want to do for him as often time did very well they kept things very tight and we didnt have the same punch that we usually have but we have to move on from that game and concentrate on dortmund and like every other match desperate so when its a few years under of 2 for just given 6 the good news for byron is that dortmund also surprisingly lost on saturday going down to let out. A young dog when teams showed their inexperience at times and could have wily captain marco royce back in the line up against diane. Isnt someone say 171819 years of age the fact they dont play at their best every week is normal we have to have patience and we have to find the right blend the coach must find the right mix we have total confidence firepower on top and of not won a trophy since lifting the super cup last year beating who else but byron.
