Where i thank you so much for your Company Everyone will we start the broadcast in the u. S. Where President Donald Trump and his democratic rival joe biden are poised to face off on television for the 2nd and final time the 2 candidates are set to share the stage tonight in nashville tennessee after a fiery 1st debate last month joe biden has a healthy lead in opinion polls ahead of tonights contest and hes getting a fresh show of support from none other than former president obama. Hello philadelphia. She is home says the former u. S. President barack obama at a drive in rally as he hit the campaign trail for joe biden democratic nominee and his former Vice President even though many opinion polls show biden in the lead obama raised the specter of the 2016 election left and urged supporters to turn out we cant be complacent i dont care about the polls theyre all bunch of polls last time didnt work out because all those folks stayed at home and got lazy and complacent not this time not in this election. In some places that has been easier said than done as early voting started many people stood in line for hours and some counties reported blackouts at voting sites will fall to mail in ballots still a record 42000000 americans have cost early ballots already according to the u. S. Elections project thats a Campaign Event in the battleground states of North Carolina and President Trump rallied his supporters and painted a disputation picture of the u. S. On the biden sleepy joe barton is a bit control of his party overture socialist communist marxs and left wing extremists. And theyre filled with hatred and venom in grange. Most voters have already made up their minds but the 2nd and last president ial debate tonight is the last chance to win over the undecided earlier on wednesday President Trump criticized the choice of topics for debate and the decision to mute microphones to avoid interruptions ofter 1st chaotic debate was the good news story. And i think its very sad that not talking about Foreign Affairs is so good about Foreign Affairs and i think that the. Very biased hurt. Her parents are very biased. From comments perhaps setting the tone for his final sparring match with his challenger. Oh all right all eyes on tennessee this evening and lets go to our washing corresponds all over south who will be following that debate for you now other candidates biden and trump facing off squaring off for the last time on the same stage before the elections what can we expect. Its certainly going to be the last big clash of the 2 and as you know President Trump is trailing behind in polls some see him behind in more than 2 digits to an extent where even allies are distancing themselves right now from them fearing that theyre going to be dragged down by President Trump and of course he knows something has to happen this might be his last chance he received it he got a big hit by the 1st debate so we can expect him tonight to go into attack mode he will probably target joe biden son hunter biden president tom has been working on creating such a Corruption Case here against him without evidence of course we will very likely hear that tonight as an attempt to attack joe biden were not going to see a performance like the one in the 1st debate as you remember that was dubbed the worst president ial debate in history because of President Trump interrupted consequently and did not let his opponent joe biden finish his sentences no there are new rules in place for tonight and that means the 1st 2 minutes every candidate will be able to speak and the microphones of the other of the other candidate will be muted during that time so it will be a very different kind of debate were going to hear and see tonight the president as weve just heard also is very clear he believes all of that is unfair he doesnt like the questions he doesnt like the moderator that also being his kind of rhetoric that he sees himself as an underdog him against the establishment and thats also something were going to witness tonight in the president ial debate now is speaking of the election on a related note there are some concerning reports of foreign interference in this years election what more can you tell us about that. The director of the National Intelligence d. N. I. Yesterday reported that iran allegedly sent out emails to voters and that were coming flash coming from far right militia groups such as the problem and we remember President Trump neglected several times to distance himself from those groups and in those mails. Voters were threatened as so we do not know a lot a whole lot more on those a lot of an answer questions questions also with regards to what was actually being tried to achieve there that the in eyes is making the case that these males were sent out to damage donald trump and his campaign it could also be vice versa since these males were threatening democratic voters now the old fortys also say theres not a lot they can do about it except going public which is what theyre doing and warning voters that they should not feel threatened about this this is just a sham and yet another attempt to mingle in the u. S. Elections all over south reporting from washington for you thank you. And just a programming note for you w. Will have special live coverage of the trump biden debate and we want to turn now to another Important Campaign issue racism and Police Violence the Police Killing of george floyd in the city of minneapolis sparked mass protests across the nation many people are asking if trust between police and the community can ever be restored our correspondent Stefan Simmons has the latest now for you from minneapolis. Minneapolis may 28th the 3rd precinct building of the Minneapolis PoliceDepartment Said the blaze during protests against the death of george floyd in police custody. The Burning Police station becomes a symbol for the protest of fury for their demands for an end of Police Racism and protest. 5 months later the band and border and secure with cement various precinct 3 still a symbol now signifying the citys struggle to make the changes the protesters demand to the local Police Department and how policing is done many apple is. Dealing with the fallout and the controversy and the trauma so rounding george being killed by the Minneapolis Police department there is definitely a breakdown in terms of trust between our elected officials and their constituents as well as between their constituents and our Law EnforcementCommunity Volunteers from the. Prepared to patrol the neighborhood then the 9th ward of minneapolis. Christian and local level and growing in number. One the group recently recognized and supported by the city is filling the gap created by the collapse of trust between police and the black community with Police Patrols largely absent from this part of town they have taken on the task of proactively protecting the community from rising crime we want to have selected police and unity who knows who live in our community who look like a community and then thered be a better peaceful like how we can wreck talk to him and how we communicate to each other Minneapolis Police recognize the need for urgent and fundamental change says deputy chief eric force he sees new recruiting strategies this critic. Well for any Real Progress one of the best things you can you can have as a department thats as reflective of your community as you can get it especially people from the community and thats really what were pushing forth stresses that from his point of view there are at least 3 of the Top Priorities for reform there needs to be deep in gauge went with the community secondly would be trainings with how we deescalate situations and lastly with what that requires all of this is the personnel to do that but words are not enough so theyve been a local activist with a group called Community SpaghettiPolice Brutality theres been talk of reform theres been some radical talk from the city council but there has been virtually no action whatsoever and were not seeing a lot of initiative for action from the city council the mayor the police chief the city council talk of abolishing the Current System of policing but was hit by a sobering reality check. My advice to other cities who are facing the same challenge is to ensure that when you are going to divest from your crew the Police System that you really do have. A much longer in practice plan for instituting alternatives that have been tested and worked after hours of patrolling the neighborhood the gabby men decide to go home theyll be back tomorrow night and the night after that the changes they were pushing for you know its on a more of a generational change you know because we want to make it better for our children their children and this is this is this is like our starting block right here you know as were trying to pave the way for their. Reporting there from minneapolis so lets bring up to speed on some of the other days news. A prison in central Lagos Nigeria has been set on fire witnesses in the citys upscale equate neighborhood also reported hearing gunfire nearby the claim seems to match reports by local police who told the media that the detention facility was under attack by salems and lebanese lawmakers have voted in say the as the countrys new Prime Minister designate ahead 80 previously held the post but resigned last year amid nationwide Anti Corruption protests he pledged to quickly form a government of experts to help the country out of its political and economic crisis. 12 children have been killed and several injured in an air strike on a mosque in afghanistans Northern Region while Afghan Security forces believe taliban fighters who killed 40 soldiers were hiding in the mosque but the militants had already moved on. Back here to europe this continent is now facing its worst situation since the start of the 19th pandemic infections are hitting record daily highs in many countries including this one germany and this is what europes covert curve looks like right now its going to appear in any moment. See how the infections will sharply in the spring peaking in april as you see there 40000 infections reported every day but remember at that time testing was less widespread so the true number may actually have been higher but mid may most of europe was in lockdown and you see it kind of studies there and the effect is very clear infections are dropping to a low point by mid july but then lock down finished since then cases are rocketing upwards which brings us to where we are now well over look at that number 170000 days early new cases reported across the continent well here in germany the numbers have now exceeded 11000. 00 for the 1st time and germanys a Public Health body has a stark warning they say the country could face an uncontrolled spread of infections. Its the highest number of new covert 19 infections the german Public Health institute has had to report during this pandemic more than 11000 new cases in one day these maps show in red where theyve been more than 50 new infections by around 100000 inhabitants over a 7 day period left is a map of germany 2 months ago now to the right its clear half of germany has changed color. And. So the situation is now very serious the number of infections is rising quickly in many places and we dont know where that number is headed but we can still slow the spread everyone can play their part were not powerless if we follow all of those rules you dont you can draw to buy a car 1. 5 mi to distance hand washing and compulsory masks in Public Places such as while out shopping those rules seem to work for germany the majority of people dont catch the virus that work or on public transport but in private setting such as a private parties the weddings. The virus spreads where people enjoy coming together and where they want to get to know each other there is more intense interaction in those settings you discuss things you laugh youre having a good time then the virus naturally has a much better chance of spreading if theres an infected person present. With infection rates accelerating fast some labs in germany like this one in ryan and platon it a warning that smaller facilities are already working at full capacity and wouldnt necessarily be able to cope with rising numbers. Theres also increasing concern that more areas in germany will have to implement restrictions again like here in back to the land in bavaria where even schools have closed down again to curb the spread. Of ireland has become the 1st european country to go into a 2nd log down during the 2nd wave of the current
