The report by Human Rights Watch alleges during a campaign. Thanks for joining us u. S. President donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden have been answering questions from voters at separate televised events held at the same time on different channels the t. V. Town Hall Meetings as theyre known replaced the 2nd president ial debate which was canceled after trump was diagnosed with 19 and then refused to conduct the debate online as we report the 2 rivals showed they have very different approaches and both style and substance. Always confident at times defensive as the incumbent u. S. President donald trump now has a record to pick apart and he got a grilling starting out with the nations biggest crisis a coronavirus. I knew it was a big threat at the same time i dont want to panic this country i dont want to go out and say everybodys going to die everybodys got their it already you dont have this money in but you can you know no theres not a little bit and more contentious exchanges as trump made exaggerated claims about voter fraud and deflect the criticism over his tax returns and his position on White Supremacy rushed into it youve done this why everybody see him like i do now its White Supremacy ok he drives against a White Supremacy and. Pulls my position at the same time on a different channel a different tone chimes challenger joe biden offered a forceful rebuke of trumps Pandemic Response it was the president s responsibility to lead and he didnt do that he didnt talk about what needed to be done because he kept worrying and my view about the stock market we make up 4 percent of the worlds population we have 20 percent of the worlds tests were in a situation where we have 210. 00 plus 1000 people dead and whats he doing nothing he still could not worry mass and so on because at times the bite and he entered but he did deliver clear punch lines on a number of issues including Foreign Policy if they will and before the election you are open greeba most effective as a world leader in my humble opinion not just by the exercise of our power most powerful nation in the world but the power of our example thats whats led the rest of the world to follow us factor trading blows remotely the 2 candidates will again face off at the final Election Debate next week about making. Lets bring in our fact checker here babe. Made some claims of. The coronavirus had his appearance last night lets start with a clip on that as far as the mask is concerned im good with mast im ok with nasa tell people where mask but just the other day they came out with a statement that 85 percent of the people that wear masks catch it so you know it isnt that i am that thats what i heard and thats what i saw 85 percent of people wear masks get the crown of iris what is trump were hurrying to and is this correct well president obama is again referring to a study of the u. S. Center for Disease Control and prevention the c. D. C. From september and he said this before and basically its a misinterpretation of this study what it found out was that among those persons who tested positive for the coronavirus 85 percent said that they were wearing a mask always often yes but the study also found out that for those persons that had tested negative 89 percent reported they were very a mosque the c. D. C. Even clarified off the trans earlier claims on that that this claim was misleading and incorrect in addition the study only followed 300. 00 for 14 people a very small sample we have to say the results so cannot be generalized so we dont know why the present trump repeatedly makes this meeting misleading claim about the c. D. C. Study and there are so many more studies that prove face mosques are slowing down the spread of the corona virus ok trump had more to say on the handling of the krona crisis on his handling of any compared the development of the case numbers in the u. S. With those for europe lets take a listen. Even gays its as if life. It is not going to let me just the United States is down 21 percent. Sounds good is dollar prompt right with these numbers on the coronavirus. You know its unclear where trump got the ok figure from or what metric or time frame he was actually referring to but indeed the u. K. Has seen a rise in covered 1000 cases and deaths per day in the last few weeks of course during the last 7 days the ok had 118 percent more cases and 28 percent more thats compared to the last week following the World Health Organization so a sharp rise but not as high as trump said here if we look to the us trumps numbers arent correct neither if we look on the last 7 days the United States had levon percent more cases and equal to us compared to the last week so if it comes to comes to European Union trump did not say where he got his figure from neither but the European Center of disease prevention states an average rise of 13 percent cases in europe so again we have to say that trans claim is misleading here so playing fast and loose with the numbers there lets jump over to joe biden he held his tell whole meeting at the same time and made a number of claims heres his remark on the International Standing of the u. S. For example. You know i would. If you take a look. Trust around. 70 major nations. Whos a big reader. And be her remove the national. Book behind putin as well who is. She. So joe biden theyre referring to a ranking is this true yasha. Well 1st when asked by an audience member whether trumps Foreign Policy deserved some credit joe biden said sure a little but then quickly claims that the us are more isolated than ever before and if we measure this with this trustworthiness we can say that bidens claim is somewhat true according to a Pew Research Survey published in september only 16 percent of people in the 13 not us claim 17 countries very solid that. Do the right thing chinas she received 19 percent and Russias Putin 23 percent so trump is behind them and but its not only trump trust in the u. S. As as a whole has declined over the past few weeks and the whole year actually the same survey found out in the u. K. And france a record low of only 41 percent at 31 percent of people respectively expressed the federal opinion of the u. S. And in germany its only 26 percent for the u. S. Another topic at the tail hall meeting with joe biden was the future of energy heres a claim from biden on fracking 1st about. Nuclear i do not want to ban you frankly i think you have to make sure franky is in fact not emitting methane or the world or dealing with we can be. Quakes in how theyre doing so has to be managed very well. Russia is biden make any making any claims there that can be challenged. Well hes not completely false here we have to say the and he seems to be clear at this point but this is at odds with his own running mate Vice President ial candidate coming to harris has stated previously that she is in favor of banning fracking she has since reversed her position but joe bidens website said that he wishes to ban new permits from being issued for fracking and wants to gradually move away from facking so this is at least a bit confusing for me what he actually wants at this point. They so much yasha that was our fact checks are ya sure they were in bot. Lets turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world today new zealands Prime Minister just send our down has hit the streets for the last day of campaigning ahead of parliamentary elections this weekend or darrens labor party has a Comfortable Lead in polls her conservative opponent Judith Collins was also campaigning saying her party is best placed to handle the post pandemic economy. Us social media platform twitter says its investigating the global outage company says it has no evidence of a Security Breach or a. Users in many countries reported not being able to use the platform for more than an hour. And 13 bodies have been recovered from a landslide in Central Vietnam triggered by torrential rains nearly all of the victims were Army Officers on a mission to rescue workers buried in another landslide flooding across the country has killed at least 36 people since last weekend. Europe is scrambling to bring a resurgence of the corona virus under control as infections as infection levels snots seen since the beginning of the pandemic are turning up now some of that is due to more testing than back then but its clear the virus remains a serious threat even at the highest levels of european politics where coated disrupted the 1st day of the e. U. Leaders summit. We may never find out what prompted Angela Merkel to make this gesture when talking to french president in mind when mark wrong masks make it impossible to eclipse but its not only the must that are a reminder that there coronaviruses casting a shadow at this meeting in brussels you commission chief funder line left the talks early one of her staffers tested positive for covert 19 and final line shows to self isolate a supreme caution so she was no longer present when the leaders discussed how to better coordinate their Pandemic Response to the question of how we can get out of this pandemic is of course on all of our own minds most of the time the health of a great many people hinges on this question it will determine how many must die and our economic future. E. U. Leaders also talked about the clocks climate goals for now they fail to agree on a more ambitious Emission Reduction targets when it comes to post brecks it relations with the u k e o leaders speak with one voice for them its clear that the e. U. And the u. K. Must compromise we are determined to reach a 3rd of the through the u. K. We will do everything we can. But not any price the u. K. Says its disappointed with the outcome so once more your leaders concluded a summit day without getting much closer to a trade deal. To the. Summit in brussels high day or so still no progress on briggs at this late stage does anybody there think the deal can still be salvaged. Terry at least that is what both sides have been saying so far all eyes will be today on london because the deadline that Boris Johnson has set for a deal to be at least to be able to be seen on the horizon has passed at midnight and he has made very clear that if that deadline passes lund would be prepared to move on without a deal now yesterday a german chancellor Angela Merkel said there is light and there is a shadow what that exactly means from the european perspective michel been able to date to try to clarify it traveling to london meeting is kind of bought david frost the so the 2 chief negotiators will sit down in london today one thing is clear that u. S. Made clear yesterday that they are not the ones who want to walk away from negotiations. Europe is getting pounded by the coronavirus pandemic right now is anything substantial being done at e. U. Level georg to deal with it or is it really just every country for itself. Mark ill read you this part of the Council Conclusion where it says they want to continue over all coordination efforts and that is directed mainly at travel restrictions that is a from where the e. U. So far has been making some progress they have developed a map that points out in different colors and in green red and orange where there are areas that are free for that are exempt from travel restrictions so you can travel from the green area to a green area or what happens if you are in a red area or that the Member States still need to clarify they also want to work on the mutual recognition of testing so there is some some progress happening here and all leaders agreed that they need progress on that front in order to stop the pandemic. Now infection rates in europe are surging the e. U. Commission president had to leave the summit early and go into quarantine are people there wondering out loud whether this Summit Holding the so many person was maybe a bad idea while the danish Prime Minister of the finnish Prime Minister they both came forward already at the beginning of the meeting and said look were a bit skeptical whether we always have to meet in person on the other hand a number of leaders have said look those personal meetings a really crucial there are the only way to move things really forward and i think there is another aspect to it and that is the aspect of confidentiality because in a Video Conference obviously theres a lot of people sitting in on those Video Conferences with the different leaders now yesterday when they talk breaks it off to the conclusions were already signed they took all the mobile phones all the tablets and moved them out of the room where they were eating so that the this could really be a confidential discussion and that of course you can only have one person thanks so much that was a correspondent give us his at the e. U. Headquarters in brussels. Well as the number of infections rise many European Countries are introducing stricter measures to stop the spread of cova 19 poland has urged its citizens to stay at home and has ordered gyms and pools to be closed in warsaw and other areas known as red zones no weddings can be held and high schools have been told to move lessons online poland had managed to keep the number of infections low in the early days of the pandemic but as the w. s alexander phenomenon reports the government is now facing criticism for failing to prepare the country for a 2nd way. And the foothills from mountains at popular Tourist Destination this winter however a pub league has little hope of much business normally hes families guest house would Welcome School classes and other organized groups but most of them have already cancelled. About the whole of them if we didnt own this place and just rented it would have already given our. No matter what. 100 percent of. The guest house practically generates no income but still costs money to ship the ducky with tourists numbers slowly rising again over the summer power ocean legal was hoping for a situation to improve but now the region has been declared a red zone due to a surge in culvert 1000. 00 cases and that means additional restrictions including Wearing Masks in public spaces and the ban on cultural events and pharmacy in the center of the compound of polands most popular mountain resort. Has been running it for 24 years so fuck your kind of incident is that this has been going on for months now so people have slowly started getting used to it but the situation for us here is difficult. As a popular Tourist Destination we. Are more at risk during the 1st wave of the pandemic in the spring polands National Conservative government reacted quickly by imposing a lockdown and closing the countrys borders for foreign travelers but since then the 30s have been facing growing criticism for failing to prepare Polands Health system for a 2nd we visit my agenda at home her husband originally from yorkshire in the u. K. Contracted the virus in the spring fortunately without severe symptoms he praises polands Quick Response to the pandemic but is worried about its hospitals the Health System power and is basically enormously lacking in funding. So if if the country becomes overwhelmed then i think its going to be a problem because of the number of hospital beds the number of respirators the medical staff. Its also why. For it in addition to his regular job he organizes weddings here in the mountains they have to be big but its almost impossible to plan a wedding he and his Business Partner say if the authorities make ad hoc decisions all the time. That should have set limits from the beginning what difference does it make if we have 50 or 100. 00 wedding guests in a group of 10 people were in a small circle we know each other and we can react quickly if anything happens. What we need is a Clear Strategy to combat that pandemic. Otherwise it will be increasingly difficult to convince people to comply with that restrictions.
