2:02 am
increasing numbers. well everybody is out in about as if nothing were happening that's pretty much the case for example it's very hot here in rio de janeiro it's winter but it's been very hot it's a very hot season all over brazil and people are out on the beach no social distancing no masks they're out in bars and restaurants and the government also doesn't give a good example the president himself is the one that likes wearing masks so people have just been walking around as if nothing much is happening although in the last 2 months just in the last 2 months 40000 people died so it's spreading because nobody is really taking any measures although the country's government is pushing for a vaccine to be to be administered by december what is the latest on that.
2:03 am
well the latest is that the government the state of some paulo which is the richest in brazil it already signed an agreement with the chinese if the governor announced today they will be receiving $46000000.00 doses of the signal back vaccine and they plan to start vaccinating health care professionals as of december 15th that's one state on the other hand in rio de janeiro they're also working together with the ox for with oxford university so they're developing that vaccine and 2 other states which are not. are working with the russians on the sputnik 5 vaccines so there's a lot of work being done for the vaccines but the one that seems the most ahead of

2:05 am
on tuesday as peru's president might of been visited the national university in san marcos where the 1st. clinical trials for a potential covert 19 vaccine or being helped to give we're not here when we are ending phase 3 and it's good through was one of the few countries chosen by sign a form to carry out trials of the chinese vaccine and starting next week this johnson and johnson with the united states vaccine and also the astra zeneca vaccine from the united kingdom there is also a german vaccine everyone is willing to do the clinical tests here and that's a good thing because it will mean we know how our own people will react coronavirus cases in peru recently surpassed 800000 which is one of the highest contagion rates in the world and although there are signs the contagion has slowed experts say that self isolation and social distancing are still necessary illegal is a risk is thinking that this decrease means that everything ended if people let their guard down the people that have been cautious let their guard down and start
2:06 am
to go out they begin to expose themselves we could 'd see what's called a 2nd wave if a lifting of restrictions in the country has also meant cemeteries are now allowing visits from family members who have lost loved ones to the virus peru has recorded more than 32000 deaths from hope at 19 representing the 3rd highest death toll in latin america but was it up a little al-jazeera. u.s. president donald trump has backtracked his message about a far right group off to chaos 2nd best 1st presidential debate he refused to condemn a white supremacist group white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has more. just today after a contentious presidential debate u.s. president donald trump attempted to distance himself from a group many consider to be a white supremacist organization i don't know who the proud boys are be you have to
2:07 am
give me a definition because i really don't know who they are i can only say they have to stand let law enforcement do their work the prob ois are an eel fascist group that gained notoriety during that debate would trump was asked to denounce white supremacy sure you were american do that do it what do you want to call him give me a name give me a why is a problem he doesn't want your library to grow as a son right proud of my boys stand back and stand by many consider the proud boys a hate group its members marched at the unite the right rally in 2017 in charlottesville virginia and more recently have marched against black lives matter protests a social media the group has taken the president's statement as marching orders standing by sir one member wrote what we saw was a dog whistle through a bullhorn. is not pretending to be anything other than what he is someone who will not condemn white supremacists someone who cannot say the phrase black lives matter
2:08 am
and on wednesday at a campaign stop in ohio democratic presidential nominee joe biden sent this message . to the proud boys and every other word supremacist group is cease and desist that's not who we are the white house is defending trump it notes last week he declared the k.k.k. a terrorist organization and lynching a hate crime. they charge that biden has failed to denounce the actions of anti fuck kolisch and of left wing activists 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 as the republicans and teachers an idea not only. i'm going to say you got it not for a nation of broiled it ongoing social unrest the exchange has only added to the emmys felt by many americans with the u.s. election now less than 5 weeks away both cat it's hit the campaign trail to play of
2:09 am
their strikes downplay the blunders of the 1st presidential debate can really help in al-jazeera the white house. the group that manages the election debate says it will make changes to bring order to the final 2 contests between trump and biden there are reports this could include shutting off microphones there's been widespread criticism off the insults and the interruptions that dominated the debate joining us now is our own cole author and directs have to buy at the university of michigan many thanks for joining us you were actually there last night at the media finding sent to jaring the debates in cleveland what did you make of it yeah it was a very explosive debate i think we knew that president trump was going to be aggressive in attack joe biden on his family and things like that but i don't think anybody. predicted what we saw was 90 minutes of constant interruptions and talking
2:10 am
over probably the worst presidential debate of all time and just not very useful to those undecided voters and as you mentioned given the criticism for what happened last night the commission is thinking about making changes for the next 2 debates but that will be controversial as well and we'll have to see what's agreed upon by all parties yeah i mean a said the group says that they're going to introduce new new rules to keep the debate in check but from what we were seeing the rules when really the problem. the problem was a was when followed so how do you keep someone like donald trump on track. i think it's impossible and he's the president united states so there's no moderator that has the credibility you know to really 2nd guess a natural power dynamic that exists and will be impossible to always force rules when you could cut off a microphone but we've had primary presidential debates ronald reagan was famous in 1908 during
2:11 am
a republican primary debate for saying you know how dare you turn off my microphone i paid for that i deserve to be here and that really helped him politically so you know even back watching as the moderators could could help candidates politically but the good thing is the next debate it's in miami it's a town hall debate and i think it be very unlikely if candidates interrupted each other while they were while they were speaking to undecided voters you know it's totally different there's undecided voters in the crowd and that would hopefully make for a better more substantive debate for the next one in miami well explain explain to us the format for the next debate how exactly does that whack and why do you think that's going to go any better. it's a town hall and gallup organization picks voters that haven't made up their mind between the 2 candidates they invite them to the audience and then call on them appropriately with questions and both candidates have to answer the question of a particular voter and so in a storage plea the candidates don't stand behind lecterns they they sit on
2:12 am
a chair and then when they address the question they go walk up to the voter make eye contact with them and just talk directly to them so it would be very off putting very rude if while one of the candidates speaking directly to someone in the crowd of voters it's undecided that they would interrupt that because it's just a different dynamic that you debaters aren't speaking directly to each other they're basically speaking as proxies through these undecided voters and now there's certainly no guarantee last time in 2016 the st louis debate donald trump kind of followed hillary clinton around the stage like a shark and so there's no full proof plan but i do think the dynamic set up for a little bit more cordial and civic debate just given the unique format of the town hall and that that debate goes back to yesterday's format what kind of new rules could be commissioned to make things go you know most need. yeah they could they could give the moderator discretion to cut off the microphone when appropriate but there's you know inherent dangers in that and there's technological
2:13 am
problems and you know you could have issues that arise you could try to just ban you know any kind of interruptions at all and threaten to you know to end the debate in the middle maybe have a formal agreement that the candidates agree to you know in writing or something that they publish to let everyone see but there's no full proof way to do it and it's just you know ultimately i think if nothing else not that the rules that prohibit donald trump from. from interrupting the future it's going to be that most people thought that joe biden won the debate one poll c.n.n. had a $32.00 point margin and so it's going to be the backlash from the audience the backlash from the voters that cause the candidates to do that for behaviors now while both candidates interrupted donald trump you know analysis shows in interrupted 75 percent more of the time and so it's not quite equal that you know both of them did bad things and so a negative reaction by undecided voters could cause that both candidates especially present time to change his behavior and. you know.
