Country would be better served if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions i am appealing to you sir to do that perhaps the moment that will live longest in the usury was was when trump to claim the invitation to condemn White Nationalist groups then you give me a name give me a why is a problem thats unlikely to can die out process on right proud of our lives stand back and stand by but ill tell you what ill tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti fair and the left because this is not a right as we know of them is there is a levy i. Kept on an edifying spectacle in which donald trump people over his policy blindspots and his competitor biden papered over his each the pair managed in this era of formalization t. He was the consensus the where no when us. Some lowlights there for you from a chaotic president ial debate over chief International EditorRichard Walker watch the debate and is going to provide us with some analysis now one of the most talked about moments is that last exchange that we saw President Trump declining to use the opportunity to denounce white supremacist groups that were to jamaica yeah i mean the democrats are seizing on this of course as you would imagine as something with not just dont know not condemning this group but by saying stand by a seemingly hinting that he might at some point in the future want to mobilize them to do something so you can expect that to run in a lot of Democrat Campaign ads over the coming weeks theyve already begun theyve already started coming out but it is quite hard to say what how much of an impact it will have an awful donald trump has done things like this before he said things like this before and also the comments were just ambiguously phrased enough that his spokespeople have been able to say oh you know thats not what he meant and one was quoted as saying that really what he meant was telling this group and knock it off the was telling is that thats not how this group the proud boys interpret it themselves and theyve been celebrating this comment by trump as a kind of endorsement another surreal moment richard during this very heated debate a simple question about voting thats right i mean the moderator asked towards the end of the debate both candidates whether if there was an inconclusive result on Election Night which is really quite likely to be the case. On the days actual voting there is no certainty about who is one of the dates only once the mail in ballots get counted of the days or weeks after that the terrace emerges. Whether they would urge their supporters in that circumstance so they remain calm and whether they would accept such a result once it was certified from joe biden it was a clear yes on. That wasnt and he said things like this is a rigged election its not going to end well and it could be months before we know a result which seems to be a hint that he is settling in for a kind of a long battle that could even hit towards an Inauguration Day there anyone emerge unscathed from this debate yeah well i think in both cases the vulnerabilities remain pretty much as they were going into the debate i mean if you think about the small percentage and some estimates say around 14 percent of the electorate havent made their minds up yet what are the one of the vulnerabilities that they see on each side i think on the trump side they see a divisive potentially chaotic kind of president on the joe biden that kind of a prime vulnerability is this perception that is he too old to be running for the presidency and i think after that debate that question remains in place in both cases you know donald trump was very aggressive you know was playing up to this you know this divisive persona that he has and joe biden did allow himself to be thrown off course a lot by donald trump which plays into this idea that maybe hes just a little bit too old to kind of stay on point so i think with both of them you know for this kind of the few voters who remain undecided those questions remain we are watching this of course or from here from europe what is this doing this debate to the stature of the United States in the world yeah well its the reporter said unedifying in the report and i think that is very much the impression you get i mean here in democratic europe for instance you know the United States is always been seen as a as you know a pioneer in democracy and. There are many many strong critics of donald trump hes not popular in europe and i think this will be seen as another piece of evidence that american democracy is in a pretty tattered state i think perhaps even more dangerous is in nondemocratic parts of the world in china for. You know its holding up its system of wealth or a tarion ism is the better way. They can pretty easily point to this debate and say is that what you want is democracy really what you want to reason our way best ignorance and richard of work or to give you chief International Editor thank you. Want to tell you now about some of the other headlines. Friendship president s in iran my call has condemned comments by turkey on the latest flare up in the caucasus as quote reckless and dangerous well thats after turkey voiced support for azerbaijans efforts to take control of new garneau from armenian separatists dozens of people have been reported killed in the worst class clashes seen and the disputed region in decades. Belgium has a new go and after almost a year and a half of negotiations the flemish liberal leader and former finance minister of the crow will lead the 7 Party Coalition as prime minister. Former audi c. E. O. Rupert to stop there has appeared in a munich courtroom making him the 1st person to Face Criminal Charges in germany over the diesel gate scandal stadler and 3 other defendants are accused of fraud falsifying documents and false advertising. Here in Germany China has warned of a tough winter ahead shes announced new coronavirus measures aimed at avoiding a 2nd nationwide lockdown but the pandemic has already put the brakes on a large gatherings and events including germanys world famous october fest. It a normal year germanys october fest would have been in full swing by now but not this year instead of ariens adorning that later has an end in small groups in munich bavaria state capital facemasks and now compulsory in some busy outdoor areas and all thora teas are considering a targeted alcohol ban local responses like this to the pandemic remain the method of choice the chancellor Angela Merkel has germany heads into the most difficult autumn and winter months on a mission thats neednt even if we all want back to life as we knew it is specially our countrys young people. So but we are currently putting everything that weve achieved in the past few months of risk. We must not allow nationwide restrictions High Economic and emotional losses again. We cannot allow a dying person in a hospital or nursing home to die all alone because their loved ones arent allowed to hold their hand to say goodbye. Im speaking here because i want to do everything i can to prevent another nation what shut down. Since may people visiting bars and restaurants in germany have been required to leave their Contact Details as part of the countrys track and trade strategy but many guests have been leaving fake details donald duck has become a particular favorite from now on however anyone leaving fate Contact Details could be handed a minimum fine of 50 euros the number of guests permitted at celebrations in public or rented spaces will also be limited in future to 50 if the number of new cases exceeds the recommended threshold otherwise the basic rules and recommendations remain the same keep your distance wear a face mask and wash those hands and a german favorite even in those winter months crack a window. That is true next hour we turn our attention now to poland bt community which is facing growing hostility there all around 100. 00 towns and regions across the country has passed resolutions against what conservative authorities describe as an aggressive ideology promoting homosexuality well earlier this week 50 diplomats from around the world published an open letter urging the polish government to stop discrimination against sexual minorities and the e. U. Is also ramping up pressure on poland to protect the rights. 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 how the free zones shining a spotlight on the difficulties gay people face in poland. The situation they love or we are not showing off or we are in the closet where we are at our house not showing that we are i am scared of being beaten i am scared of being. Scared or somebody will wait for me in front of my holes 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 feel hunger phobia even outside the zones counter protesters have repeatedly attacked members of the algae bt community as you can see here. I have seen do you know if it is fake. Right we are spreading. That its not just live its people who are trying start on to us. Polands ruling lower 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 allergy bt community i want to be Crystal Clear l g b t q ive 3 zones are sure manatee tree 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 bonds wants to see more concrete action. So i expect the European Union obey not the union of empty warts about something more. The people are equal and theyre taking it until that equality becomes a reality in bobs country he will continue his fight against homophobia. The United Nations is gearing up to host a major biodiversity summit after World Leaders pledged earlier this week to tackle environmental degradation and protect the Natural World well the mostly Virtual Event kicked off in the uns General Assembly hall in new york just a few moments ago most delegates are attending online and are set to discuss strategies to reverse dramatic losses to buyer diversity while here in germany the former borders zone between east and west has become an important haven for wildlife but despite the transformation the nature reserve still faces existential threats. This is where the deathstroke one usually. Between east and west germany today its one of the countrys largest nature resorts lessons the hard part was created 30 years ago biologist going to cost or has been making sure that what belongs together gros together. Thats in our pockets the unique thing about this National Park is that were giving the church 24730. 00 hc tears of space to take its own course its weird to completely refrain from using the land and leave it untouched by lumber industry so that nature has free range and that saying wood for the logs. Back when the National Park was created and staff had to start from scratch like here at the former days trains in 1909 soldiers were still patrolling the border between east and west germany. Here the socalled norman slant a strange 100 metres wide to prevent people from escaping from east to west the barbed wire and concrete fortifications were practically in some mountable 2 decades later nature has failed this deadly zone with new life. To build the birch trees really won the race this trip was treated with hair besides of pesticides so heavily that hardly anything could still grow here and yet so much has happened here in the past 30 years. And its not just the plants that are making a comeback several where animal species are also we claiming their natural habitats. Lynxes are back after 200 years of being regionally extinct thanks to a reintroduction program. To look out for. Linuxs had lived here in the heart for a long time until they were killed off by humans they deserved to be back in the hearts so in 19041005 we started reintroducing them to the woods has taught that to look for the dog and food brought on it was a successful undertaking which took a lot of hard work the biologists spent thousands of hours in the words carefully documenting natures campaign to recapture its territory in the form of border region. Despite everything this area has overcome the biggest challenge for this german National Park still lies ahead dead trees as far as the eye can see here there used to be huge spruces but droughts and rising temperatures weaken the trees and the bark beetles finish them off. Now more often cost finds he has to educate hikers by sitting in the region. With. The snake its a sad sight when you walk along here with him but if you look closely you can see that new life is in a marriage and where the old spruce trees have died out they should marry theme its a colossal task for the authorities from the former east and west and going to cost that is not done yet he says he will carry on until what we longs together has drawn together. And i want to talk more about this with i just to in there on john from environment good to have you here with us why our leaders meeting so this is a major summit to work out how best to protect nature of the coming decades etc road not pretty for how to reverse these trends of unprecedented decline of nature of this accelerating extinction of species and its really to set the groundwork for a big meeting in china next year in coming where well leaders will sign an agreement thats kind of comparable to this 2050 in paris climate agreements are really the International Framework for how best to protect nature and how are they planning on going about protecting biodiversity so this is a way of thinking they are very concrete targets for 2020 which they mostly have not actually met. 20 targets i mean none of them were met a total of 6 of them were partly achieved one of them is going back in the wrong direction and so its kind of not necessarily new targets but more just reaffirming what weve already said there are some concrete actions kind of taking place i mean its important but that context right side of pollution is still on states levels governments are still subsidizing businesses that damage ecosystems coral reefs friends and still dying so its mainly a case of trying to take what we really know about how to protect nature and implement it so was going to change this this time around you know what why would they implemented this someone they havent done it. So the rhetoric is noticeably stronger so i mean i think on monday 65 World Leaders including germany im going to find the left so they describe the situation were in as a planet treat and see and the rhetoric here is pretty strong and they talk about this kind of unsustainable production and consumption of being the key drivers of biodiversity of us and i mean this is related to Climate Change as well obviously. And they i mean they say this requires immediate and immediate global action. But then you look at some of the proposals about that and you see that they want to reduce they want to eliminate plastic leakage into the ocean by 2053 decades away so i mean whether thats immediate or agent of i mean you can understand why activists maybe are kind of skeptical of some of these conferences lots of semantics there that you have to read in between the lines now what decide to see how big are the changes required to keep what biodiversity we still have intact in all of us so if you look at the stem from firstly the report from the World Wildlife fund a couple of weeks ago found that 2 thirds of the worlds populations of wild mammals fibula fish reptiles followed by truth since 1977 space the 50th and i mean the scientists last year when they released this big global assessment of the state of life when i found i mean we need for because the transformative changes and this really goes into every aspect of society so were not just talking about individual conservation efforts but i mean they require basically the required steering away from the Current Limited paradigm of Economic Growth that were really talking much changing concepts like g. D. P. Maybe the World Leaders today at this meeting off the light on this believing this so i mean it talks about changes that are at a much bigger scale and whats currently being discussed are asking for a model home or for some of the things that clearly the World Economy is its in there and john of thank you so much thank you appreciate it.
