biden accused trump of not helping the black community in america while the us president failed to condemn white supremacist groups when i asked to do so by the moderator the state of ohio. i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right no what do you want to do on the do you sign up willing to do anything i want to see. do it say you want to call him what do you want to call him give me a name give me a why is a problem it doesn't like me can die out process on right proud of our lives stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what i'll tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti fair and the left because this is not a right is is there is a direct this is a left and we have got it right 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 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 will have been killed one in 500 african-americans this made this man is the is the savior of african-americans this man cares at all this man has done virtually nothing but 2 candidates also spad over the coronavirus pandemic the us is the worst affected country of more than 200000 deaths defended his handling of the crisis by cold the president a liar. 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 it going to be back in february and he didn't even tell you he's on record as saying did 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. 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 the internet 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 xenophobia because you don't relate it closed our country not just letterman says you didn't think we should a closer country because you thought it was too it was terrible you wouldn't close that for another 2 months by my doing it early in fact dr found she said president trump saved thousands of lives. well john hendren has more on the debate from

cleveland. that was in unsavory spectacle the 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 wall a moderator struggled and generally failed to regain control of this 90 minute debate but he did have moments of substance there 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 he had 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 that the united states has 4 percent of

the world's population and 20 percent of the world's coronavirus cases that 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 him 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 it was the kind of spectacle i've never seen in decades of debate and that includes trump just 4 years ago. international pressure is mounting on armenia and azerbaijan to stop fighting over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region and begin dialogue but leaders from both countries have refused to hold talks as a reprisal and have ruled out any possibility armenia's prime minister nichol

gulf region and our efforts to contain it ship was born in kuwait city in 1929 the son of ahmed their job who was a mirror from 1984 to 1950 for 4 decades he held the post of foreign minister in that time the oil rich country experienced huge economic growth but was also vulnerable to regional struggles although kuwait had supported the iraqi government during the nearly decade long war with iran in the 1980 s. . then president saddam hussein ordered his forces to invade kuwait in 1900. more than $1000.00 civilians were killed and hundreds went missing during the 7 months iraqi occupation which triggered the 1st gulf war that same year. after u.s. led air campaign forced iraqi troops out of kuwait so bach was closely involved in rebuilding his country. and in 2003 he was appointed prime minister.
