0. 3. ready. you graduated either the lowest or almost the lowest in your class don't ever use the word smart with me the worst president in america has ever had a limit used to you in the gloves are off france donald trump and joe biden face off in a bad tempered and chaotic presidential debates as. yours are serious yours is a rather still left with you she was about race and who is on your list your best reason you are like john is i think this is a source on the president actually. the rivals that go head to heads on the economy the global pandemic and space relations.

and how the markets in this is al jazeera life in doha also coming up kuwait's mourns the death of its emir shakes up the middle subba who steered the country's foreign policy from the 50 years cuts. the u.n. calls for an immediate end to fighting the scene azerbaijan and armenia. always starts with the bad tempered chaotic 1st debates between u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden both men targeted see each other personally buys and call trump a liar and a clone of all the presidents questioned his opponent's intelligence it's the men clashed on the big issues that have dominated the campaign so far including coverts the state of the u.s.

economy and respond and the president's with the us president was specifically asked by the moderator of the debate to condemn white supremacists this was his response president i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right well what do you want to do are you signed up willing to do anything i want to see well he has no answer do it sir. if you want to call him what do you want to call him give me a name give me a white supremacy that's unlikely to can die out process on right proud of my list stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what i'll tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti for and the left because this is not a right. is a direct this is a left wing i've got about right well biden said tom's policies have ton severe damage to the black community this is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle to try to generate racist hatred racist division this is

a man who in fact if you talk about helping african-americans one in 1000 african-americans has been killed because of the cone the coronavirus and if he doesn't do something quickly by the end of the year one in $500.00 will have been killed one in $500.00 african-americans this man this man is that is a savior of african-americans this man cares at all this man has done virtually nothing well to give us more from cleveland ohio where the debate was held for joined by al jazeera as joan henderson john you were watching that 90 minutes of chaos we were expecting john to be under pressure over coronavirus over his damning personal finances but once again trump has managed to deflect all this negative attention this time specifically by refusing to condemn point supremacy tell us more. that was an

unsavory specter go live president attacking interrupting and generally acting like the bully in chief the former vice president trying to be the grown up in the room but often losing his cool telling the president of the united states to shut up losing his temper a little bit when his son hunter was brought up all the while while a moderator struggled and generally failed to regain control of this 90 minute debate but he did have moments of substance there 'd were moments of substance on the coronavirus where trump trying to argue that he had successfully worked to contain the virus and he said he would be a done better than biden would have that under biden it wouldn't be $200000.00 deaths here in the united states to this date it would be $2000000.00 a figure that he seemed to bring up out of nowhere and biden looked into the camera and said do you believe this guy he said did. you point out that the united

states has 4 percent of the world's population and 20 percent of the world's coronavirus cases we also had moments of substance on things like the protests around the country trump said that he was for a law in order that under and if he had control of these cities the democrat cities as he called the cities which are also under his control as president that all of those problems would have been taken care of but really the debate was dominated by these attacks back and forth trump telling biden that he graduated low in his class and that he wasn't intelligent it was the kind of spectacle i've never seen in decades of debate and that includes trump just 4 years ago ok at john. q let's say a quick look at some of the issues that john was talking about the u.s. president of course defended in his handling of the pandemic

a pandemic of course has killed 100000 americans trump says his actions have saved millions of american lives. if we would have listened to you the country would have been left wide open millions of people would have died not 200001 person is too much it's china's fault it should have never happened they stopped it from going in but it was china's fault and by the way when you talk about numbers you don't know how many people died in china you don't know how many people died in russia you don't know how many people died in india didn't exactly give you a straight count just so you understand but if you look at what we've done i closed it and you said he xenophobia keys are racist and he's in a phobic because you don't relate it closed our country not just letterman says you didn't think we should a close our country because you thought it was too it was terrible you wouldn't close it for another 2 months by my doing it early in fact dr felt she said president trump saved thousands of lives while pies and repeatedly called the president's ally a threat it's a base especially when it came to the pandemic do you believe for

a moment what he's telling you in light of all the lies he's told you about the whole issue relating to covert he still hasn't even acknowledged that he knew this was happening knew how dangerous is going to be back in february and he didn't even tell you he's on record as saying that he panicked or he just looked at the stock market one of the 2 because guess what a lot of people died and a lot more going to die unless he gets a lot smarter a lot. well donald trump he's the occasion to again question the use of pool so ballots in the vendor selection trunk claims this will lead to widespread false and phones this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen the other thing it's nice on november 3rd you're watching and you see who won the election and i think we're going to do well because people are really happy with the job we've done but you know what we won't know we might not know for months because these ballots are going to be all over i

mean my baes and said he'll accept the results of the votes and then. he has no idea what he's talking about here's the deal the fact is i will accept it and he will too you know why because once the winner is declared after all the all the ballots are counted all the votes are counted that will be the end of it that will be the end of it and if it's me in fact for it was it was not me i'll support the outcome and i'll be a president not just for the democrats present for democrats and republicans well barbara perry is the director of presidential studies at the university of virginia she says trump's continues criticism of the electoral system mights turn away many voters. one does wonder polarization aside after our elongated system. mazing primaries from the democratic side and almost 4 years of donald trump out of voter could not have made up his or her mind but having said that the

polls are showing somewhere between 6 and 10 percent of the electorate say they are still undecided or at least they were going into tonight's debate so if that's true the question will be will this have swayed people to one side or the other while it's way people to pick a 3rd party or a minor party candidate or a write in a candidate or will they just stay home well will they be so turned off by this process that they throw up their hands and say i'm not going to vote so it will have an impact i'm sad to report that the united states rarely gets over 60 percent of those eligible to vote to come out and vote and it has been more in the 50 percent range so people not take and vantage of the freedoms that we have had here it remains to be seen again it may be that people are so turned off by the system and so turned off by 247 media and social media that it's in addition to the fact

that we have a president who is criticizing the very system that brought him to power and says that he won't believe. the next election and you know it is rigged and that it's going to be illegitimate that does not help give people faith and in the system and call them to to do the polls. well let's head back to cleveland's and join john hendren joe on american leadership the democrats a kind deals these are concepts that were once the envy of the world do you think americans will be proud of their country after watching that 90 minute performance . absolutely not this is going to turn off a lot of voters and it's debates like that it's campaigns like that that keep people from the polls on election day and that might have been part of donald trump's strategy by slowing down operations of the postal service which takes in mail in ballots by questioning the integrity of this system over and over by saying

it's going to be a rigged system he seems to be telling people it's not worth it to go to the polls and that strategy works if you are a republican who's voters tend to be older who tend to be more committed to go to the polls as many of donald trump's supporters are and it's the people who are often dissuaded from going to the polls are often hispanic people black people poor people young people the people who tend to show up in lower numbers so it could be that is what donald trump is trying to do but with all that belligerence if you were to rate this as a brawl i think you'd have to say that donald trump one this stube 8 in the sense that he dominated the time he dominated the conversation with a monitor but americans are electing a pugilist in chief and i think a lot of voters are going to be turned off by that approach i suspect that trumps

numbers in polls following this might have a high negative rating even if they have a relatively high positive rating by tried to be the adult in the room a man with a plan to resolve the coronavirus to restore civility and a sense of. democracy in the united states but he was often knocked off his game he was driven to anger when his son's name was brought up and he casually launched his temporary told the president to shut up he kept saying things like man. nevertheless in the end i think there will be a number of voters who while they are turned off there will be some who say that they prefer the more civil style of biden but trump supporters are a reliably aggressively supportive group they tend to run from 37 to 45

percent or so but if you get enough people on top of that who simply hold their nose and vote for donald trump it's still possible they could put him over the top ok john hendren that lie for us from cleveland ohio thank you very much indeed. still to come in al-jazeera we'll have more on the debates to keep you just a personal things go to 2 presidential contenders and another use millikan the devastating effects covert 1000 is having on south africa's economy 2000000 jobs lost to date. hello the pensive clear skies across much of the middle east which is of course this time of year beginning to come back dan suddenly feeling much better through the eastern end of the med a nice on shore breeze wanted to bits and pieces

this is down to 0 a quick mind over the top stories for you this hour about temperance and scale 6 1st debates between us president told trump and his democratic challenger joe biden trying to call biden called trump a liar and a climbing wall the president questioned his opponent's intelligence. in a segment on race relations trump failed see you condemn points a premises and targets is for he called the rats a cool blank it's. about debates to send a message personal attacks joe biden says trump has a problem with the truth and told him to shut up calling him a clown years ago the fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar. yes is there rather still left would you she was not married and who is on

your list joel this isn't your rock johnson is i think this is a tax according to yours and i know you to give a let me have ended this segment we're going to move on to the 2nd segment with you to hear about right a minute you get the final word miller it's hard to get any word in with this clown excuse me the state let me restate it no no i'm mr president right i have to be right but i'll also will trump is known for his frequents personal attacks against opponents of all stripes at one point attacked still pards intelligence so you said you went to delaware state but you forgot the name of your college you don't go to delaware state you graduated either the lowest or almost the lowest in your class don't ever use the word smart with me don't ever use that word or give me your because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe 47 years you've done this to believe you would have had let me just tell you something you know if you would have had the charge of what i was put through i had closed the greatest economy in the history of our country and by the way now it's being built again to say hey

we're going to the economy in the next segment sir ok it's going up fast ok we're going i want to come well our brains and the right sort of school the graduate school of political management at george washington university she explains the debate strategy used by both trump and biden. the president did interrupt frequently and he was incredibly combative we also saw former vice president biden being frustrated by donald trump's tactics continuing to disrupt the entire debate i think the most important thing when you think about who won or who lost in some ways president trump won because there was a lack of substance because so much of this debate was about the fight and not about what was said there is a way in which people will look at this and say hey donald trump

prevailed he actually managed to have things go his way that said. former vice president joe biden was incredibly effective in the few moments that he spoke directly to the camera when he was talking directly to the voters he reminded voters that president trump is not someone that they should trust and in fact really reminded voters of all of the lies that the president has told so it was an ugly debate and i imagine that most voters who are undecided turned it off but for even a half an hour it's fired. let's bring you some other news night kuwait's has begun 40 days of mourning to only the death of its mere 91 year old. he rules the go for states 22006 and before that stooge kuwait's foreign
