it is the invisible behind a wall of silence. against. corruption is not something to be told that it. is a. country he said. let's destroy this wall. in 2020 the free space award encourages the heroes who are fighting against corruption this helps our communities to save the resources that we need in order to address the burning problems that affect us all. shine a light on new york anticorruption here i. nominate now. hi i'm steve clemons and i have a question to ask these days it's hard to filter out the newly sinking track of what's really important the bottom line tackles the big issues this issue in the united states its people its economy and the way it deals with the rest of the

world the bottom line only on al-jazeera. here on the news hour here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories as about john and i mean you heard using each other a firing deep into each other's territory finding of a new going to come out about this continuing for a 4th day both sides reporting heavy casualties kuwait's late. his being laid to rest you know possession is held in 2 it's easy for the 91 year old leader his successor his half brother who's been sworn into office. and u.s. president only trump and his democratic challenger joe biden are hitting the campaign stops in battleground states a day after

a chaotic presidential debate trucks heading to minnesota biden will speak in ohio . so more on that and we want to look at how americans reacted some of them at least based on a c.b.s. you gov whole of the more than $1000.00 people who responded 48 percent of them said joe biden won the debate 41 percent said it was trump 10 percent called it a tie but an overwhelming 83 percent of them said the tone of the debate was negative and most said they actually felt annoyed watching it 17 percent of us said it was positive. we've got col with us now managing editor of suppose crystal ball center for politics at the university of virginia he's on skype from washington nice to have you with us i think that's probably a pretty good way of of of assessing this debate that people felt annoyed watching it because if you were looking to make a decision based on what the 2 men said would be pretty unlucky. yeah i mean look

at it there was there was a lot of outrageous behavior i'd say almost entirely about the president just constantly interrupting and of course the president really doesn't tell the truth very very often during these debates and again that's not to say that other politicians don't don't tell mistruths for you know you're in there but but from sort of you know elite leads the nation in that category i think the way to look at it though in the c.b.s. you go poll kind of spells it out by 48 from 47 actually looks like a lot of the polls and now that the president is behind it went into the debate it's the being more out of that joe biden did it and i don't think you can look at it and say that the president disposition of the debate you know maybe maybe he was hurt by it maybe it didn't make that much difference which actually probably worked where i would where i would look at what the president is the one who needs to take these opportunities to grow his base of support and again i just i don't look at it . but what we got though was donald trump is the same donald trump we've seen for

the last 4 or 5 years i mean we can be maybe a shy little bit shocked at the tone in the way it happened but we companies surprised by that. oh i completely agree i mean it would be it would be shocking if you behaved in a kind of restrained respectful way and frankly i think if he was capable of doing that it might actually do him some good and i thought that throughout his presidency but but you know at the end of the day his shoes to a year is one other thing if this was true the 2016 campaign as well that. in that year generally speaking of trump was dominating the news he generally was doing a little bit worse in the actual horse race polls that you know when the spotlight shifted to hillary clinton naturally started to struggle in trouble continues to really just dominate he know that he wants to make this election not a referendum on him but rather a choice between him and biden but if trouble is dominating the news all the time

just plays into by the strategy of putting the spotlight and the onus on the president the next debate correct me if i'm wrong is going to be in a town hall style different to this one can you explain for our international audience what that means and how it might actually change the content of the debates so yeah it's a really worth thinking about compared to this 1st debate because i don't think the president can be really behave the same way in the town hall so there is a moderator steve scully from from c.-span is going to moderate and it's but a lot of the questions will come from people in the audience it's you know town hall debate and so it allows both of the candidates to interact with us so you know kind of record regular people and i don't think that the president starts wagging style will you know i just i just to jump just by to ceci because the format i have tone it down which frankly i think probably would be good for if nothing else

a little bit less yelling and talking over each other isn't it karl thank you so much for joining us we do appreciate it thank you. hong kong's pro-democracy activist joshua long's been granted bail after his arrest last week he was charged with taking part in an unauthorized demonstration in october and violating laws against wearing musts one is among several activists facing charges related to last year's pro-democracy protests beijing imposed its national security law in june in response to the months of unrest is that jim brown with more from hong kong joshua long has not yet been charged under this new national security law but he has said he believes that he is the target one is in court over offenses that happened last october when he took part according to police in an unauthorized assembly he's also charged with violating a ban on mass now this is all quite ironic because this time a year ago the police imposed a ban on protesters wearing masks in order to try to deter street demonstrations

well 12 months on of course it's now basically illegal not to wear a mask in public because of the coded 19 restrictions now warning has been told that he would have to appear before easter magistrate's court where he appeared on wednesday on long with another veteran activists who were given very lenient bail terms of just $130.00 u.s. dollars but of course if one is convicted he'll face up to one year in jail and remember one has already done to jail terms and in the past 10 years he has been arrested no less than 10 times so joshua one knows that he sailing very close to the wind why does it matter will joshua one of course is really the sort of poster boy for hong kong's democracy movement and of course his appearance in court comes on the eve of national day celebrations and here in hong kong police have been ramping up security and also warning people not to take part in any illegal
