Very. Serious. And i believe. All of that. Russian backed government of. My biggest. City because. President ial. Debate on both seemed to keep it dignified as both president ial candidates are in their seventys the idea that the president is away from the presidency has increased this contest abortion ministrations Pandemic Response of course. After the recent chaotic president ial debate. And much more. The 2 candidates seated at a safe distance divided by plexiglass barriers in the 1st and only Vice President ial debate. Just one of many issues of can. Tension between mike pence and Camila Harris the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in history of our country undermining the pens who hits President Trumps corona Pandemic Task force on excess went on the defensive from the very 1st day President Donald Trump has put the health of america 1st before there were more than 5 cases in the United States all people who had returned from china President Donald Trump do what no other american president had ever done whatever the Vice President would depend demick still affecting millions of americans leaving many worried about keeping their Health Care Coverage harris went straight on the attack if you have a preexisting condition Heart Disease diabetes Breast Cancer theyre coming for you if you love someone who has a preexisting id say thank you they dont say how many are you if the vaccine ends his response avoided specifics obamacare was a disaster for the American People remember well President Trump and i have a plan to improve health care and for present protect preexisting conditions for every american and heres the abortion also came up as always an important factor in american elections were informed. Im prolife i dont apologize for. And this is another one of those cases where theres such a dramatic contrast Joe Biden Kamel Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth late term abortion they want to increase funding to planned parenthood of america issues before us can be more serious there is the issue of choice and i will always fight for a womans right to make a decision about her own body it should be her decision and not that of donald trump and and the Vice President michael pence though most viewings of the debate to place virtually at home some locations host a small viewing parties like this one in cincinnati. Well i think it was a lot more like a debate than the previous recent president ial that be a lot more with what normally happens. I was pleasantly surprised to see more civility in this debate than the previous president ial debate. Its unclear how much this Vice President ial debate will change the dynamics of the president ial race. Well lets get more on this from conservative political commentator david froome hes a Senior Editor at the atlantic also a speechwriter for republican president george w. Bush welcome to w. What do you think it did either candidate managed to shift the needle of Public Opinion that needle of Public Opinion has been slowly moving through the month of october as the Economic News gets worse as the disease news gets worse President Trump is sinking in sinking sinking below his 4040 percent threshold i think we are on the way to a white epic result in the election of 120. Ok thats thats quite clear coming harris is coming here is his condemnation of the trump administrations Coronavirus Response has got a lot of people talking so lets take a little listen. Well the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in history of our country and here are the facts 210000 dead people in our country in just the last several months over 7000000 people who have contracted this disease one in 5 businesses closed on january 28th Vice President and the president more informed about the nature of this pandemic they were informed that its lethal in consequence that it is airborne that it will affect young people and that it would be contracted because it is airborne and they knew what was happening and they didnt tell you. That it froome there was nothing new in that but it is interesting to have it all sort of put in one place to have damage ng you think about the accusation from not come last was. Sometimes there is a 10 setting to exaggerate the importance of campaigns and messaging people watch this debate watch this debate from home they watched it with their children at home they watched it out of work they watched it with businesses that are close they watched it knowing that their loved ones are sick made or have been sick in fear of sickness themselves they watch it knowing that the president is 6 they saw a Vice President who did not look well they know the chairman of the joint chiefs are all quarantining its not a matter of what you say its part of what is true and what is true is the country is in desperate trouble and that is not just our country but all around the world and that is i think the reason why you see this this collapse of the president support so what does he need to do then what needs to happen for the president to close that gap. By. I think he needs to build a time machine and go back in time and completely alter not only his response to this disease but i mean its her ive im being silly but look you cant you cant its done the consequences of this catastrophe are upon us and i think one of the things that the president s been struggling with and the reason is his is twitter behavior and other behavior so erratic is because he realizes that theres nothing to do at this point the record is the record the suffering is the suffering the economic the disease results are what they are there isnt some formula of magic words i used to write speeches for president george w. Bush and one of these politicians sometimes believe not george w. Bush many of them is there some theres a magic formula theres something you can say they can change peoples experience but actually people vote on is the base of what is happening to them every human being is the worlds leading expert on the life of that human being and they know where they are they know their children are not in school they know theyre out of work they know theyre sick or fraid of becoming sick but still have a look at quite an Interesting Exchange that they had on rice last week the president of the United States took a debate stage in front of 70000000 americans and refused to condemn White Supremacists and. It wasnt like he didnt have a chance he then do it and then he doubled down and then he said when pressed them. Stand by etc heres conveniently omitted have to add to the president made comments about people on either side of the debate over monuments he condemned the k. K. K. Neo nazis and White Supremacists and has done so repeatedly youre concerned that he doesnt condemn neo nazis present trump has jewish grandchildren his daughter and son in law are jewish. This is a president who who respects and cherishes all of the American People i mean for what why do you think donald trump cant seem to shake this perception that his arrest. Well there are some subjective reality is also very personal reality which is dont trump cannot accept any kind of criticism so he makes an initial misstep even if its innocent and it usually isnt but even if it is he cant fix because fixing a misstep would be would be to would require him to acknowledge a misstep but its also true that the president he draws strength from some dark places in American Life and hes not willing to stand up against them because he views the world only through one prism are you for me or against me he is not he is indifferent any other moral standard is only for you for him or against so if your and your nazi was against donald trump than hes against you but if youre a neo nazi who is for donald trump and he finds it hard to be against you its interesting that listening to your talk a man who has written for who has written speeches for a republican president. When when he was talking about the current republican president here in your same a ghast i buy ive spent 4 years writing about this look we my party the Republican Party is a shattered party and it is important to understand how many republicans are opposed to President Trump the democrats one. More than 60 seats in the election of of 2022800 they won them in the areas where republicans have historically been strongest the seat that was held by george h. W. Bush back in the 1960 s. And stayed republican from 1966 until 2018 thats now democratic seat Newt Gingrichs former seat in the suburbs of atlanta thats now a democratic seat the seat of eric cantor whos the number 2 republican in the house of representatives under president obama but thats now a democratic seat but what we have seen is a rebellion of many of the traditional republican heartlands against the presence of donald trump ok back to they visit by the pens vs horace was a much more dignified a fat than trump biden last week but there was still be interrupting issue will take a listen you will not raise taxes on anybody make less than 400000 you want to hear people that from tax cuts mr Vice President speaking well im speaking be important to the truth the only going to repeal part of the trump talks because if you dont mind letting me finish we can have a conversation ok police ok in 861 id like you to answer the question this vice presidency taking speaking. Yeah lets talk about packing the court then lets talk about yeah im about to. According to c. B. S. News mike pence interrupted the hottest 10 times to have 5 interruptions and b c has it 16 times to her and i was mike pence being sexist or just rude. Mike pence compared to dont trump is a psychologically normal human being is a contrary conventional american conservative politician and and his career is on the line so hes hes under some pressure i think it was also evident and this is not something we that the norms of our contrition journalism allows to come and it was also evident that there was something i mean and well about him he was not in good shape he was very pale his eyes were pink he had a cantor in the corner was mouth and so he may not have been in top form he was trying to bring some level of assertion because after all he is side is his is a side of the debate is losing the trump and pence ticket is anywhere from depending on whos counting 6. 00 to 8. 00 to 10. 00 or more points behind so there is a certain amount of psychological pressure under under him so he tried to do what he could do and he is is aware that theres an audience President Trump me has to keep happy who insists on the most aggressive possible response to any challenge especially want from a woman good talking to its very interesting from the atlantic thank you thank you. And the german capital berlin has been declared a coronavirus hotspot after the number of cases in the city passed a critical threshold for the introduction of tougher restrictions germanys Disease Control agency the robot to call her institute is warning about the spread of the corona virus would become uncontrollable if people dont stick to the hygiene distancing rules german chancellor Angela Merkel says she doesnt want to repeat of what happened in spring when europes largest economy went into lockdown. More than a foot has a new infections in the past day thats germanys highest rate since april when the kountry was today knocked down has minister yen span warned of growing complacency in the population and called for responsible behavior in 6w8xw people cooperate the chances of the virus spreading will drop dramatically like that its the good work that this pandemic is or so character tests for us as a society and we can only pass if we pull together. In recent days authorities have tightened restrictions in high risk areas such as the capital beilin from saturday on the words a curfew will be imposed on bars and restaurants as germany braces for soaring cases but according to the account trees leading vajrayana cheese rest trick sions alone one suffice it is not sufficient to impose rules that people dont understand and so the cooperation of the population especially in the coming weeks and months. Over the autumn and winter. Is probably one of the most important functions in the whole concept to intervene. With spalls School Holidays about to begin the government has called on citizens to avoid travel abroad most of germanys 16 states have greed to abandon overnight stays at hotels for visitors from high risk areas in a bid to curb the surge of new infections. And its been 5 years since russia entered the war in syria in support of president Bashar Al Assad tipping the balance in favor of the regime assad forces assisted by russia and iran now control most of the country Kurdish Forces still hold the north east but have signed a deal with the sad it lip in the northwest is the last remaining province under rebel control with turkeys support a serious a ceasefire for a lip. Came into effect in march this year the government and russian air strikes are increasing again and many in england fear a decisive battle for the province a could start soon dont lose their go to show reports. Even when hes making t. Plane spotter zanes focuses on the job not to miss a single military plane taking off from the bases controlled by the saturation. The 41 year old has set up a mini listening station to follow syrian and Russian Radio Communications at a secret location for security reasons along with other volunteers he monitors all air traffic over you clip around the clock. Just as the most we can listen into the pilots Radio Communications and find out his destination so we know where the bombs might fall of the look i do this work for civilians if we can warn them we can save lives. As soon as he spots anything warrants local civilians hospital sent 1st responders using the radio and other networks about he says the number of air raids on eclipse has risen significantly in recent weeks although the ceasefire agreement is still in effect. On hold my biggest fear is that the Russian Air Force will bomb adlib city because it is so densely populated. In recent weeks the bombs sometimes more than 20 a day have mainly targeted less Populated Areas but theres growing concern that assad and his forces are set to launch a new offensive also targeting hospitals and schools in a similar way to the beginning of the year when attacks flattened the small town of kufa. Many families have since returned home but holiday halid from the local council has no idea how. The coming winter Water Supplies hospitals electricity generators have all be destroyed and covered 19 infections are on the rise. And. We cant quarantine people to protect them from the corona virus. So theyve got to work to feed their families we would need support from relief agencies in our town but no one has shown up and even though. Hundreds of thousands of people have sought refuge in the sprawling campus of northern euclid province here 2 conditions are palling but theres at least some support from relief organizations. Hamas matilda man is among those who desperately need that support a year ago his house was destroyed and their right one of his sons was killed after that lost both legs and hes grateful for the 10 they were given but hes anxious about the winter that lies ahead. For. The record im disabled i cant walk at all. Weve got no income nothing at all he. Says his wife left him because she could no longer bear the gloom and the misery in the tent since then his sister has been looking after him and her 3 children theyve never known anything but war never been to school. Children im very bad change they dont listen to me. Especially the elder sister driving us crazy they just want their mother back. So what does the future hold how can they possibly keep going what will they do for heating when winter sets in what about the koran a virus. Where can they go next if assads forces start a new offensive to many questions and no answers. Much spring in daniel for more on this hes a middle east analyst and editor in chief of santa if magazine which focuses on the region welcome to detox lets start with the humanitarian situation how many people are there in rebel held areas of it live and what are conditions like for them well the conditions. In the report in the course of the organizations its very difficult. Moment about. Areas controlled areas because the. Thing. There is all through different areas of lot of different organizations of course. We have about 2000000 people. 2 military operations to the right of increase of. Course this is a. Simple and we. Is. There we weve heard the fears and the reports that the Syrian Government is looking likely to try and retake the other actually in a position to be able to do that. I doubt that to be honest i think it is absolutely possible that we will see an increase in military operations aerial operations hillary shelling weve seen exchanges in the last couple of days. Also or rebels. Politicking regime held areas and vision troops that would be quite untypical for the Syrian Regime and the russians to try a lot of ground operation while the winter is approaching also in light of that and then if that is savage. Of course the syrians all across the pond of course syrias outpost to the right of virus we dont have official numbers and the regime seems to be playing that out but its a very very serious and syria at the moment so i doubt that they would be late as well but for a can but i think there is another rather cynical of your political us that. Rush this to increase pressure with. A Bombing Campaign of it live this love these 4 months to establish Syrian Regime control over but to put pressure turkey which is now very busy with the military escalation in the caucasus with or is supporting. And russias a corking armenia on the other side and we should not forget that there is also other conflicts in areas in libya in the Eastern Mediterranean and quite typically russia has been using this increasing military pressure in syria where they were whether it was suitable to force turkey into some sort of a compromise and i think this is not so much about reestablishing regime control over it though or as this with the president s. Alternate goal and he would try to attempt this before next years president ial election but i think what the russians have in mind here is something very different. Its no mystery its quite a complicated situation but it does sound just looking at the russian involvement in this conflict russia is moving to its own agenda and it has its own goals that its looking to achieve for me are not necessarily true true but interest of the Syrian Regime lot of. With would be in line with the Syrian Regime of the Russian Foreign minister lavrov has traveled recently with a very high ranking delegation to the moscow is to give us what i think some reassurance of reassurance but also to try. To develop some sort of a political vision for the future of syria because the russians we now are present in syria but the military of 5 years but. They havent really safe the Syrian Regime and they have the f. A. Leverage in the middle east but they havent really quality political solution which i think they are still interested in presenting i think the russians want to keep of course military control and theres absolutely no question that they want to force rebel held areas in the submission but of the other hand they see that syria needs some sort of a solution and the authoritarian solution of course of still. There needs to be political progress in light of the current president who wrote him and so the russians are engaged with the United Nations it was their idea to bring together some sort of a Constitutional Committee that syrians from within the areas and from the opposition to create some compromise and thought some thought of a perspective they havent been very successful of this so i think russia will remain involved militarily politically but sometimes for very different goals. Very clear girl from 7th magazine. Thank you for. And that was the day as the conversation continues online hottest on twitter at the doubling. Of the day the 1st. Moved. Into the conflict zone with Tim Sebastian the physios in the news these days for all the wrong reasons i did so thats the 1st highest figure in the world for coated 19 infections my guess is me from brazil a half of the countrys Vice President how will truth.

This is the w. s line from germanys capital declared a coronavirus hotspot as the number of cases in the past is a key threshold tougher restrictions are already being introduced also on the program the 2nd us president ial or defense is pushed back because donald trump rejects of virtual encounter and joe biden says hell talk directly to voters this. Welcome to the program has been declared a coronavirus hot spot as the number of new cases passed a critical threshold the german capital had already announced the introduction of tougher restrictions to the countrys Disease Control agency the robert cock institute is also warning that the spread of the corona virus nationwide would become uncontrollable if people fail to keep the hygiene in distancing roles german chancellor Angela Merkel says she doesnt want to repeat of what happened in spring when europes largest economy went into lockdown. More than a foot has a new infections in the past day thats germanys highest rate since april when the kountry was today knocked down has minister yan span warned of growing complacency in the population and called for responsible behavior 2x6w8xw people cooperate the chances of the virus spreading will drop dramatically like that its the good that this pandemic is a so character test for us as a society and we can only pass if we pull together the mines in recent days authorities have tightened restrictions in high risk areas such as a capital beilin from saturday on the way its a curfew will be imposed on bars and restaurants as germany braces for soaring cases but according to the account trees leading vajrayana g. s rest trick sions alone one suffice is not sufficient to impose rules that people dont understand them so the cooperation of the population especially in the coming weeks and months to. Go over all the autumn and winter. Is probably one of the most important functions in the whole concept to intervene. With false School Holidays about to begin the government has called on citizens to avoid travel abroad most of germanys 16 states have though so agreed to a ban on overnight stays at hotels for visitors from high risk areas in a bid to curb the surge of new infections. To get more from d. W. Political correspondent simon young welcome silence so what are German Authorities doing to slow this surge in factions. Well for the overall strategy remains the same to observe the hygiene and distancing rules and when infections do jump up then tougher measures and local law downs can be imposed and thats whats happened for instance in munich its also happening now in berlin as you mentioned the german capital has now jumped up above that key marker of 50 new infections but 100000 people in 7 days is just above that so the berlin or storage is of imposed these sort of but bans on bars operating through the night and other contact restrictions another development is that many of the german states have imposed a ban on even on germans domestic travelers from those hotspot areas using hotels so thats quite an extreme measure it shows there is concern about the development of corona here and chancellor merkel will be holding a meeting with the mayors of germanys largest 11 cities on friday to discuss what more can be done there i think this particular concern about the the process in the in the big cities so what lessons have been learned since the start of the outbreak. Well i think everybodys learned a lot the way of dealing with the virus has been much better understood of course and for instance you know in hospitals the patients with corona symptoms are separated from those without its also been an awful lot of talk about ventilation in recent days i think there is a better understanding of the virus is also a development that now only a minority of those who are infected with corona are in germany or returning travelers there is far more domestic generation so theres a new focus again on parties and gatherings particularly involving young people i think middle of a cyclone simon d. W. Has been speaking with an epidemiologist at balances sherry tae hospital told us that the citys a medical infrastructure is well prepared. Not even in spring time. Hospital the passage here and it is you know capacity it was even remotely used in germany we are obviously well aware that in some cities in italy in spain in also france and probably also you can hear the of there was a shortage but in germany there has never been a shortage to give you a clear idea about 3 percent of intensive care unit capacity is used for 19 patients in believe. So simon young it does look like germany is ready for a surge in covered 19 cases if it comes. It really does phil i mean underlining those figures there are currently less than 500 patients in intensive care being treated for covert 19 we understand germany has 30000 intensive care beds available and could easily make another 12000 hospital beds available for intensive care carona patients so i think what a lot of hospital managers are saying is you know they dont want these warnings about a worsening situation to unsettle people on julie Germanys Health care system has proved itself pretty robust over recent months and what the Health Minister said again today was you know as long as everybody just shows common sense and a base the clear rules then theres a good chance of getting through the winter relatively unscathed i thank you for that Political Correspondent simon yo. Now well take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world media has accused neighboring us of by java shutting a historic a feed role in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh more than 300 people have died since the conflict with the end of september the u. S. Russia and france have called for peace talks on them and the violence. High rise apartment block in south korea has been destroyed by fire forcing hundreds of people out of their homes the blaze in the city of is believed to have started on the 12th floor and quickly in golf the building in flames. Demonstrates that clashed with riot police in indian means yeah the 3rd day of protests against a new labor law became violent there have been hundreds of arrests since demonstrations began after the legislation was passed on monday the law is aimed at strengthening indonesias ailing economy by simplifying the might but markets and attracting Foreign Investment but critics say it threatens workers rights and the environment. Protests again morphed into clashes on the 3rd day of demonstrations in jakarta. Police formed a protective shield around the president ial palace facing a barrage of rocks and bottles. The protesters are enraged by a new labor reform. They say will undermine their rights and harm the environment. We are here today to ask for the law approved by the parliament to be repealed immediately. Going up how it makes people miserable especially the lower Income Community and its. Going to be. The law is expected to radically change indonesias labor system. The government hopes it will boost the countrys economy by cutting red tape and attracting Foreign Investment. But the demonstrators say that set their expense. They claim the reform will reduce severance pay and lead to more job outsourcing. Police had banned the protests saying they risk spreading the coronavirus the protesters flooded the streets anyway hundreds were rounded up and taken into custody. The initial plan was a 3 day strike now they vow to keep on demonstrating until the law is repealed. Or next weeks u. S. President ial debate looks likely to be postponed after President Trump refused to take part in a proposed debate mr trump describes such an event as a waste of time and said he would hold a rally instead. Vice president mike pence has been addressing Trump Supporters in the swing state of nevada he delivered a conservative stump speech telling people that biden ticket would raise taxes on the point liberals to the supreme court. Lets go to have correspondents to see washington from all welcome stefan so with all this uncertainty around the president s health what role is my parents going to play in the final weeks of the campaign. Hes going to play a significant role but here comes the but hes also dealing with a boss who is teaching to get back into the game meaning donald trump he wants to be back on the campaign trail he wants to be healed he wants to be covert 19 free so that he can engage in the last few weeks in what is supposed to be crunch time for the Trump Campaign as well as for the Biden Campaign of course so yes the Vice President as he did yesterday with the debate will engage in more stump speeches in more rallies of various form maybe not the big ones maybe a little toned down whatever you can whatever they can come up with still in the next few weeks to have mr biden or present President Biden do he will do having said that again there looms the shadow of President Donald Trump because again we all know the president does not allow anybody to steal the show for him so he will be back one way or another and theres a growing controversy over my line over an image of parent they snapped of the Vice President celebrating after his debates against. Whats going on then. You know there was a picture taken after apparently after the debates last night here local time in the us and it shows the Vice President and scott walker former wisconsin governor of wisconsin and now wisconsin is a battle state that is important for this picture and for the presence of Stuart Walker and a few other. High ranking g. O. P. Supporters and people in this picture now the key is all without a mask now i have to say according to c. D. C. Guidelines the Vice President shouldnt even have been at the debate with us remember they had the plexiglas glass and 12 feet apart or 12 feet and 3 interest there are particular about that apart from each other this was all because even though the Vice President tested negative so far for covert 9 he was exposed to donald trump and 2 others who are positive so he shouldnt actually be anywhere and self current sheening self isolating for 14 days he didnt do that he came to the debate and of course as you see. This Vice President and this administration doesnt really care for themselves to wear masks not even after the president commander in chief president of the United States is covert 19 positive ok stephanie a washington thank you.
