it's because we know that all she's interested not just in news but also the more hidden stories from parts of the world that often go under reported. facing off in the vice presidential debate. confront escalating crises in the u.s. polluting the handling of the kind of virus pandemic. i want the american people to know it from the very 1st day president donald trump has put the health of america 1st the american people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in history of our country. hello i'm sam is

a this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. i want to get for you what i got and i'm going to make it free you're not going to pay for. donald trump attempts to assure the american people on the 1st day in office since returning from hospital. to a legit members of the so-called people's appear in court in the u.s. hostage torture and beheadings. u.s. vice president mike pence and his democratic challenger camelot harris have squared off over the crises facing the u.s. the debate took place as president trying battles coronavirus throwing the race for the white house turmoil the vice presidential rivals locked horns over china race relations and the handling of the pandemic. they knew what was happening and they didn't tell you and you imagine if you knew on january 28th as opposed to march

13th what they knew what you might have done to prepare they knew and they covered it up the president said it was a hoax they minimize the seriousness of it the president said you're on one side of his ledger if you wear a mask you're on the other side of his ledger if you don't and in spite of all of that today they still don't have a plan when you look at the biden plan it reads an awful lot like what president trump and i in our task force of the doing every step of the way and quite frankly when i look at their plan that talks about events and testing creating new p.p.a. developing a vaccine. it looks a little bit like plagiarism which is some joe biden knows a little bit about i think the american people know that this is a president who has put thank you guys america 1st in the american people i believe with my heart can be thank you proud of the sacrifices they have made it safe thank

you mr kerik and lasts into the trade war with china and camelot harris criticized the trumpet ministration for a failure of leadership that's cost jobs because of a so-called trade war with china america lost 300000 manufacturing jobs farmers have experienced bankruptcy because of it we are in a manufacturing recession because if it and when we look at where this administration has been there are estimates that by the end of the term of this is ministration they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administrations and lost a frayed war with china joe biden never fought it. you know biden has been a cheerleader for communist china through over the last several decades and again center her title your opinion you're not entitled to your own facts when joe biden

is vice president we lost 200000 manufacturing jobs and president obama said they were never coming back he said we needed a magic wand to bring them back in our 1st 3 years after we could attack you very best regulation unleashed american energy this administration saw 500000 vice president jobs created the killings of black americans at the hands of police was one of many issues that came up during the debates kemah harris' book about the killings of george floyd and by own a taylor while mike pence spoken defense of the police and law and order bad cops are bad for good cops we need reform of our policing in america and our criminal justice system which is why joe and i will immediately ban chuckles in crowded halls george george going to be alive today if we did that we will require a national registry for police officers who break the law we will on the issue of criminal justice reform get rid of private prisons and cash bail and we will

decriminalize marijuana and we will we will expunge the records of those who have it isn't perfect it of marijuana this presumption that you hear consistently from joe biden kamel heris that in america systemically racist that is your biden said that he believes that law enforcement has an implicit bias against minorities. is is a great insult to the men and women who serve in law enforcement and i want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of law enforcement every day and president trump and i stand with you. let's bring in sunny diaz from los angeles she's the founding executive director of the u.c.l.a. latino policy and politics initiative and worked for kemel harris while she was california's attorney general good to have you with us so you're a democrat you've worked with camel house were you then satisfied with the way that

mr harris handled messaging on some of those key points from race relations the environment taxation even foreign relations. yes i think that senator calmly harris hit the nail on the head in terms of really focusing on what's really important in that selection and that is a response to that coronavirus pandemic that has taken over 200000 american lives the fact that people are jobless and we have a president that only paid $750.00 in taxes even though we know our frontline workers who are undocumented are paying taxes every single day and then finally the need for a leadership at the time where we are seen systemic racism loud and clear not only on our streets and on our systems that are excluding people senator here is part of the point that out of the 50 appellate judges this is right under the supreme court of the united states none of the judges are black. at the end of the day to want to

extend those the debate between vice president presidential candidates impact in shape the election do you think most viewers have already come to this debate with their minds made up. absolutely they are not a lot of undecided voters at this point it's about mobilizing and likely voters to actually turn out and which is very difficult in america because we have so many barriers to the ballot box in our states are making it hard for some voters particularly black voters latino voters and asian american voters to actually cast a ballot on november 3rd so this debate doesn't do anything i think that both b.p. pence and senator harris did what they had to do they definitely sounded more civil than what we saw in the presidential debate the previous week do you think i know you're a democrat but do you think definitely this debate was more civil and do you think that perhaps mike pence get some brownie points in how he treated the discussion

how he sometimes when you know overboard to try and show respect and even praise ms harris. well i think that this is a huge distinguishable feature of b.p. patents and i know that president trump elected to choose the pants of the stick at 1st base evangelical voters v.p. pence was on message about being anti abortion anti choice anti reproductive justice but in terms of this temperament i don't know if the bar is really that low in the 21st century because the parents continuously interrupted senator harris and at one point the senator had to say i'm talking i'm talking i'm speaking now. do you think that the candidates came prepared to answer the questions times they felt like they came with the talking points pre-prepared and wanted to just get

through them no matter what they were all. that's that's completely right i think that there were some factual differences in terms of the answers from both of our debaters tonight i do think that the way that they handled the question about succession planning if the top of the ticket is in fact in the white house and does get sick both of them pivot and this was the point where common harris pivoted to transparency the need to not only know medical records but tax receipts and again bring in the fact that donald trump only paid $750.00 to the internal revenue service so neither of them answered that question all right good to get your thoughts and that house is so much thanks so much song and yes thank you no thank you. donald trump released a video filmed outside the white house where he calls his infection a blessing from god the u.s. president was back in the oval office for the 1st time since he was released from hospital on monday. i went in i wasn't feeling so hot and within

a very short period of time they gave me regeneration it's called regeneration and other things too but i think this was the key but they gave me regeneration and it was like unbelievable i felt good immediately i felt as good 3 days ago as i do now so i think this was a blessing from god that i caught it this was a blessing in disguise i caught it i heard about this drug i said let me take it it was my suggestion i said let me take it and it was incredible the way it worked i want to get for you what i got and i'm going to make it free you're not going to pay for it it wasn't your fault that this happened it was china's fault and china is going to pay a big price what they've done to this country china is going to pay a big price what they've done to the world mike hanna has more from washington d.c. now. he's talking about the monoclonal antibody cocktail called regeneration which was given to president trump while he was in hospital now

there's a huge amount of problems associated with this the trial studies for this particular cocktail were only released at the end of september it is still in development it is nowhere near final trials or know when the f.d.a. approval now president trump got a. certain exception that he was allowed to use it a compassionate use that is termed now we understand as well wolf from one of the co-founders of the company itself that president trump is one of only 10 people outside clinical trials who's actually received a dose of regeneration saying it's going to be free to all americans well that means the federal government is going to pay for it president trump says as well that the military will distribute it and we understand from regeneration officials that the 1st contract for the 1st $300000.00 doses has been signed to the department of defense so the 1st body that will get doses of this drug is the

department of defense which goes in accord with president trump's claims that it the military will actually distribute the cocktail but it's a long way away from that just to produce this volume of cocktails before final clinical trials of even being concluded is very difficult situation to see. also ahead on al jazeera. anger and confusion am a tale of 2 prime ministers in kyrgyzstan. and silencing greece after a far right political party is rumored to be a criminal gang.

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines the u.s. vice presidential debate between mike pence and harris is taking place in salt lake city utah the pair faced off over a number of issues in the 90 minute vent with coronavirus the heart of many disagreements if the trap administration approves a vaccine before or after the election should americans take it and would you take it if the public health professionals if doctors if their doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us that we should take it i'm not taking it. the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in the vaccine if the vaccine emerges

during the trumpet ministration i think is unconscionable and senator i just ask you to. stop playing politics with people's lives the reality is that we will have a vaccine we believe for the end of this year. a former u.s. police officer charged over the death of george floyd has been released on bail set at $1000000.00 derrick shelvin is facing murder and manslaughter charges after nailing on floyd's neck during his arrest in may floyd later died which triggered nationwide protests shelvin is expected to appear in court again in march. european governments are facing anger confusion and fatigue as they grapple with rising corona virus infections new restrictions have been imposed in belgium and scotland on masks and now mandatory outdoors in italy france is also reported its highest number of daily infections in barber explains. not

so will he level with the people of bury your bolton and tell him what does he actually think the problem is here from friday pubs and restaurants across central scotland have to close for 16 days with a new 6 pm curfew elsewhere together with the scotland wide ban on visiting other households these add up to the toughest measures anywhere in the u.k. the reason we're not closing into hospitality completely is that we know the benefits in terms of reducing loneliness and isolation of giving people particularly those who live alone some where they can meet a friend for a coffee and a chat but in belgium they are. shutting down all bars and cafes in the capital brussels from 1st day after a spike in infections i understand why. but i think it's a bit long for months the months have flags. surfaced so it's a bit sad for students at least. meanwhile in italy wearing a mask outdoors is being made compulsory the national infection rates actually
