President donald trump was arab ministers and said that it was a huge work of peace f the im joined now by a correspondent who is at the white house. How significant is this . Reporter very significant. As you mentioned, it is the third country to formally recognize israel alongside the united arab emirates. It has sudan had been stationed backn the 90s for harboring us, bin laden. It is a deal that has been in the making for quite a bit. Earlier in the year, the u. S. Secretary of state had visited qatar. Qatar had opened up its airspace for israel. Whenever a country thatas not recognized israel does so and opens up formal ties is a big moment. It is a big for policy win for donald trump. Jane it is indeed. He is calling it a big win for world peace as well. What else is he saying . Rtre he spoke about how the abraham accords, as these are called, it will see more muslim countries and air countries signing up. He expects its he expects that saudi arabia would sign it. Saudi arabia had not recognized israel. This feeds into his image as the big deal maker and getting peace the middle east. This is something that he and jare kushner are pushing to make happen. This is one step forward. Jane where does this leve the reporter as there a timthere where the arab world not really doin any before it looked through the prism of israelipalestinian lations. There has always been a wa for independent nations from the palestinians. The porities have changed, and and donald trump, e middle east sees someone that is a transactional president , someone they can maks happen with. They realize therere economic benefits to have a relationship with america. They are really about antagonism wi iran. They loog at this as someth that they need to do, and the priority as much as they were. They have been sidelined aa part of this process. Jane thank you very much for joining us from the white house. Now, there was less shouting, fewer interruptions, and more policy during e final president ial debate in nashville was just 11 days to go before the election, joe bidennd donald trump argued about how to end of the pandemic and health care relations. Reporter joe ben emerged onto masked was. Asked, and the stage food fight of the ebate. E first the shouting hadpl been ed by a series of emoji faces, i rose, but thexchanges were so arp. The president claimed that coronavirus was turning the corner. We have a vaccine that is ready and it will be announced within weeks. We are learning to live with it. We have no choice. We cannot lock ourselvesp and a basement, like joe does. He says t we arlearni live with it. People are learning to direct it. Reporter the president wen off and the son hunter. Iden family your family has three and a half million dollars. Someday youll have to explain. Reporter joe biden was not the president aboutectures from transparency. What areiding . You have not released a single solitary r year of your turns. Reporter iniscussion about immigration, babies were separated by their parents. Ere are other 500 children that have become orphans because the u. S. Authorities do not know where the parents are. The president defended what they had done. They are so well taken careth of. Are in facilities that are well cleaned. They got separated from their parents and it makes us a laughingstock as a nation. Reporter joe biden sought to portray himself as a healer and unifr. Donald trump as the outsider who can fix americas broken politics. I went to a barn nashville where Trump Supporters had gathered. It was striking how empty it was. She was to go with the first debate, it wasigramped. Last, there were only around a dozen. What this final debate make a difference . I think a lot of americans are already decided. Statistically, debes are really change minds. Im ill undecided becau i am disappointed in both candace. Donald trump was much more effective in his debate last night. Is it too little, too late . Already in the United States, it seems that pbably a third of electorate have already cast eir ballots. Bbc news, nashville, tennessee. Jane one of the key arguments between the debate was on climate change. Explaining why he pulled the u. S. Out o the paris climate d this tor. Trump sa filthy it is. Look at china look at russia, look at india. It is filthy. The air is filthy. The paris accord, i took us out because we were going to have to spend trillions of dollars. We were treated very unfairly. They put us in there, they did a great they did a great jane tt comment triggered a lot of reduction in india. Our colleague has more. Reporter there has been quite a lot of anger and outrage here on social media in response to what President Trump sai. In that deba people are saying that the use of the word filthy and the way that he said is insulting and disrespect for two indians. Others are saying that this could harm his chances wit indianamerican chances. Others are saying that he haa valid point. This country does have some of the worlds most polluted cities. It is theay that he said it, that is not appropriate. Im talking to you from the capital city of delhi, which has Dangerous Levels of pollution. It is likely to climb even higher, and that is unhealthy air. That we are breathing. It is also important to mistion that thiot the first time the President Trump has criticized india. It is a part of his playbook a way in the America First agenda to decide other Foreign Countries and also complement we have seen this time and again with india. He does have a very go w way to shiph the indian Prime Minister, modi. It was earlier this year that President Trump came here on a visit in a massive joint rally in the prime minisatrs home i do not think that this particular episode is going to shift the dynamic of the relationship, but it could make things a litrde bit awkn the coming days. You have u. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo who is arriving in delhi in a few days. He is going to talk with the counterpart, and is the filthy comment comes up, that could be awkward for him. Jane thank you. Foreign policy has nn the top of the agenda for most voters. After last nights debate, aft a rare glimpse of how the candidates view the worl we speaking with amanda, was what stood out to you . There was obvioustriking side, conversation about job bidene calling elationship that prident trump has engaged in, with kimmp jongun, ing that to hitlers. I thought that was very brazen to even say. It shows that President Trump is willing to talk with anyone. Much le reagan who would shake r hands with tsian premier, he would never let them forget to breaktant it w down communism. I think that president showed that he is willing to talk with anyone. If m itns keeping our interests here in the United States safe. Jane but north korea still has nuclear weapons. Didnt joe biden have a point, that presiderump has effectively legitimized the regime and ndath korea . Am you are trying to work youre trying to do anything you can to keep your people safe. I ink it is important. In holding the line, much like with the Obama Administration, the Obama Administration wned of the threat north korea was. I think that President Trump hjo done the beshe could. [indiscernible] today we are hearing about sudan and other peace agreements that he has been able toh forge w other countries like uae and bahrain. Jane he also talked a lot about sorry to but in riere. Some of his policies in gard to try to have actually hurt his supporters. Why should they support him a Second Time Around . Amanda that is a good point. I think when you have a debate, as 50 million americans had already voted, it is really hard to try and bring people onto your side. I really wonder if more than 5 of the people that were watching last night are even undecided. I think people have largely decided. I think they looktresident trump, and i heard this when i was campaigning here in florida. We finally have a president who will stand up to other countries, like china. I think ty important. The administration and state department have taken hardlinesh unturned, bue still is a lot of things that democrats have not workedds on in rego helping the president bring down china. I think china is important, but i also think the middle east. Iotohink that there was enough talked about last night on the topic of middle east. Jane we certainly have been talking about it on the program today. Ousorry to cutff there, but i think we have to leave itw. There for thank you for joining me. Amanda thank you so much. Jane now President Trump may have stood up diplomatic relations in asia and term, but that does not seem to have stopped vietnameseamericans to vote for him. They are more likely to vote for republicans this november compared to other Asian American groups. According to a survey, they are in favor ofmp t, compared to 36 stated that they support his opponent, joe biden. Other asian voters prefer biden. Joining me now is a professor and historn from columbia iversity. Thank you very much for joining me. Why do President Trump enjoy supports froicvietnamese ams in particular . Is a very good queion. I think that the vietnameseamerican population that you are talking about is the older generation. 60 years old and up. They regard the vietnam war and how ended ashe touchstone as to how to judge u. S. Politiciann and the amertoday. The first is tha youre back in 1975. The myth is that democrats blocked funding as republicans were helpless. Democrats voted against allowing refugees into the countes io the 1980s. Democrats are seen as left as less tough unturned. Fought in vietnam on the fall inieam, this was a communist vietnam back to bite china. Thirdly, they see that democrats are t good on law and order. Cv enemies americans of the oldereneration seeing things through a vietnam mom the vietnam war lens. They feel are f thel that there could be a threat related they see protesters once again on the streets. Jane you keep saying the older generation. Does that mean attitudes are actually changing . Guest i think so. This older generion is prisoners of their own past. We see that they are not a monolith vote. The vietnameseamerican communy. Of the 100 thousands of voters that are residing in some of these battleground states, those that are under 50 identify less and less woph the they are basically leading toe ft. There historical references and touchstones differed from their elders. If many of them came during this. , they were refugees. Another sort of reference would be their ties to the old country, vietnam, or ties to asia matter less. Trumps racist dog whistling presents a bigger challenge and threat to beat in the mis and all asiaamerans. Lastly, i see the younger ongeneraeaching out to their elders,nd help their eers get past the misinformation. Stthis ct loop of news, to tell them more about the candidates and covid and china.
