You can see the spin room behind me already busy with reporters moving about. Candidates earlier today lked the debate stage. They were able to see where their podiums will be, the order th that they will be in, where the moderators will be sitting. Many of the candidates spent the last couple days going through debate drills if you will you, trying to get their answers down to the 60 seconds that they will have to respond to the questions that are asked of them. As you take a live look at the debate hall, you can see it is all set up and ready for the ten of the 20c democrati candidates who cause of qualified for the debates. Each as you said looking to make their mark. We were able to talk to one who is wellheown in t d. C. Area, but not so wellknown around the rest of the country. Tonight though you can expect that he will be trying his very best to make surehat more people know the name john delaney. I feel like ive been preparing the last year and a half.

Mueller has agreed to a public hearing withoth the house intel and judiciary committees. In his only public comment, mueller said that y comments that he made before congress would not go beyond his actual report in which he did not finde enough evide to support conspiracy charges for anyone in the trump campaign. And did not rule o did not rule rather on obstruction. But given that weve only heard from him once, you can expectto this be quite ape sctacle.

It shows two migrants, a father and his daughter, their lifeless bodies face down in the rio grand. When you seethis, what words come to your mind . Heartbreak. Ininhumane. Desperation. Look at that little arm across his neck. It makes me sick. Reporter photography has always made us feel a i think are a of emotions. This photo like many other photos here in t gallery tell a story that words simply cannot. That is the power of the image. A picture can capture what unites us and show us how divided we are. Pictures show the depth of human suffering, theill tourvive and at times a picture can propel a movement and change the course of history. Having a visual medium really helps people get into the head space of a certain situation. Christy says that this photo has thatpe t of power. It begs people to look inward.

You can see the ten podiums all ready. Is is the first chance again for the Democratic Party and you the votes to begin to try are to thin out the largest field 6 candidates in history. But the key for the hits on stage trying to stand out from the pack. Garnitt hague is joi us live from miami. So lets first talk about the massive group. The field iso large, it is split into two nights. Who are the frontrunners for night one i t tnk the peoplet you will want to watch, Elizabeth Warren is the highest polling appearing tonight. And she a really goodt this format. Very much has the kind of talking points, concise answers th she gets from the voters. And thento orourke electrified democrats with the near his campaign in texas. He is a story teller, he wants to tell you stories about people that he has met on the traltd. You also have two senators, questioning so many of the 2308 beings in tfolks in the russia investigation. They havent really broken through yet. So i would lookfo for thoss to be dominating the talk time tonight and some of the folks on edge trying to take big to get noticed. And what about President Trump . How much will he be looming over these debates tonight . Will he be watching. Reporter he will be on air force one watching it and i will be shocked if he doesnt weigh in on witer. He is essentially the 11th candidate speaking here because so much of what we hear from democratic voters around the count is yes they want to get to know the candidates, but really what they want to know is can they beat this president. Can they beat donald trump. So i suspect we could hear President Trump somehow getting involved in the debate. Id be curious to see if the candidates end up responding. Perhaps they are looking at their phones in commercial break and responding in real time to what the president is saying to them.
