not because of polls and not because if you're in diamonds, you're not here tonight because you're afraid of being honest agent, defending your record, you're talking these things and let me tell you what's gonna happen. you keep doing that. nowhere appears going to call you donald trump anymore. we're gonna call you donald dock. and you know who else is missing an action? donald trump is missing an action. he should be on this stage tonight. he owes it to you to defend his record. john henderson has the latest from los angeles. in their 2nd debate, the republican presidential candidates had renewed energy and a renewed sense of urgency. that's because the clock is ticking down voters in the primary start to vote in iowa in january. and that leaves very little time for any of the other candidates to catch up with donald trump, who has more than half of the republican vote in polls. so those candidates got very aggressive, and some of them went after trump. chris christie,

the former new jersey governor said trump had been ducking these debates. he didn't show up to this one. we're the 1st one you said they're gonna call him donald duck . rhonda sanders, the florida governor, who is getting the 2nd readings in those polls. he's down to about 15 percent compared to about 55 percent for donald trump. he said trump ought to be there to answer about his policies and about the 7 trillion dollars he added to the us debt . now there will be more debates, but these candidates will now take to the campaign trails and those who are perceived to do well, we'll get more funding and they hope more support impulse. john henry and al jazeera los angeles. as we've been reporting, donald trump skip the debate. instead he address auto work is near detroit, and fisher has moved from that a little some came to michigan to show a support for striking or to what goes but states does event at a non union plan. the what, cuz they are not involved in the strike. and of course he's here just 24 hours

after joe biden walked on the picket line with striking workers. but donald trump says the jo bikers plans to put more electric vehicles on america's roads with decimate america's auto industry. it doesn't make a damn bit of difference what you get because in 2 years, you're all going to be out of business. you're not getting anything. what they're doing to the auto industry in michigan and throughout the country is absolutely horrible and ridiculous. hundreds of thousands of american jobs, your jobs will be gone forever because for good joe biden, you're selling? yes, i don't think it's him. i don't think he actually knows what the, how he's doing. so this is essentially the unofficial kick off of the presidential campaign. you have the 2 leading candidates to bite in the sitting president. and donald trump, who's in prime position to win the republican nomination. coming to an important swing state to try and win the support of working class voters that donald trump knows the joe biden slipped a large part of the working class vote away from him and 2020,

securing his time in the white house. and he knows that if he's to win a 2nd time himself, then he's going to have to win then. but, and he's also asked several times, so the endorsement of the biggest or to union the u. e double, you know, that doesn't seem to be likely at the moment for a number of reasons. first of all, the unions tend to support democrats, but also in the last 48 hours, the president of the union student next to do a bite. and on the picket lines, and in the last few hours, the chief negotiator for the union has been very critical. donald trump and what he did or rather didn't do for workers while he was in the white house, one thing it's clear that we're going to see a lot of the 2 leading contenders here in michigan in the run up to the presidential election next year. oh and for sure, i'll just go to michigan. let's get more, which is between a sha, she's a full member, public and advise and a political strategists and commentators. she's been watching the debate and doing

just now live from this. let me validate. thank you for your time. how psychologically do these candidates walk into today's debate? knowing that the last debate it absolutely nothing to change the outcome of the race. finding these candidates went in with very clear minds about who they wanted to present what version of themselves they wanted to prevent tonight. in terms of substance tonight was usually felt intent. there was a life policy talk, there was less sort of in fighting as there was last time. but what tonight really lacked was a very clear winner. in my opinion. there was no clear breakout star. there were people who had good nights in my estimation. i billed it mickey and we had a very good night and i do. don't know. rhonda sat just had a good night. she didn't crawl this, want me was being looked at as a very, very for middle on it. and tonight i think she was really largely on the did that well, so we heard a great deal from north dakota down there in doug berg. and there was so much talk

of 3 big things here. securing the southern border top by the nomics of belda and the loaded spending, the washington caps continue to do. little talk a bit more about the subjects coverage. but uh, going back to trump. we had a couple of candidates, uh, governor rome de santis and chris christy make things that trump, for me pretty early on in the debate, is that desperation starting to show and i would say there's desperation quite yet . but one thing that i thought was most notable that both christy and just hampton is that the main check trunk way. once towards the beginning of the debate and a jack towards the end. both of them called out donald trump for not showing up tonight. they both felt that he should have been there to answer questions on his record to essentially back the republican voters. is what christy said. and that was a good case. in fact, i think they got a lot of people applying for that. and a lot of people think actually that's a good point. if trump really wants to be our leader,

or should he be coming and making the case instead, you heard his former vice president pen tell the record of that, talked to ministration, yet trying to balance. distancing himself from it as well. it's interesting, you said there was no clear win or lose at least in your opinion. i mean, looking at those people, there is candidates on the stage. who do you think realistically could be the best alternative to donald trump? you know, it wouldn't be based out tonight, but i'm making this judgement. it was really also the last to be performance bench, former governor of south carolina and 4 room bastards, the united nations nikki haley, would be a really great candidate to go up against the democrats and the general election. she shows she understands how to message to a general election to audience. whereas a lot of what we heard in the last debate and tonight's debate especially, was talk that was aimed at a republican primary audience. now for this is the primary debate. so you need to

be talking to those values that there's the electric holes, whether they be more moderate or a 1st or right and still be considered part of the bag of faction. you did hear a lot of talk by jim scott, for example, the senator from south carolina. that was aimed at more of an jungle conservative. again, same thing from former vice president mike penny. but when i'm looking at is somebody who understands the assignment i would college and the assignment is to remove by a terrorist with the white house. so you need a candidate that's able to talk to general election audiences. really good to talk to you when a show a full met, republican advised that and now it political strategist. thank you. thank you. and told us that a ton, his wife have pleaded not guilty in a new york hotel off to being indicted on bribery charges prosecute to say, both menendez and his spouse, except his thousands of dollars from 3 new jersey business men to secretly help see egyptian government with right code numbers that facade him seek is crossing from

mexico into the united states president andre manuel lopez over the door is quoting for missing a foreign ministers from 10 countries across last in america to discuss migration. thanks goes the. the says he plans to present us president joe biden with original plan to address the issue. yeah, what ok is thomas? now what we're seeking is to reach an agreement to face the phenomenon of migration acting on its causes. as we have always said, then we have to arrive as an agreement. it's not just an issue that concerns mexico . it's a structural issue that must be faced this way. for this reason, we will hold a meeting with foreign ministers. i think in the coming team days, townhome that has moved from mexico city. the mexican authorities are having a difficult time right now trying to do with the amount of people that heading through the country. many of them trying to get to the united states of the asylum

system. he is completely overmatched at the moment. and the migration authorities rules are struggling to deal with this, especially because a lot of migrant detention centers of the country had. and now out of action, many of them as a result of a fire earlier in the year of which to migrants. and for that reason there's a review. and because of that, the tools a lot struggling to find ways to deal with this influx of people. uh, several of the towns in which migrant usually go through, especially in the north, not the models at people wanna see that squad is a sing large numbers of people, thousands of people in those towns as is tip in chula, which is on this in the south of the country with the food, with guatemala, to the point where in top of chula authorities are putting on buses just to take people elsewhere, to what they say to do what they say, the pressure rising. the situation. so is not such

a congregation of migrants in top of chula, where are they coming from central america. but also in increasing the south america countries like ecuador to venezuela, venezuela, to ongoing economic problems, ecuador struggling with not quite violent and with political violence, especially at this year. so there's a lot of people running, a guiding through mexico, which mexico isn't really being able to deal with. and for that reason, president, under his manual low piece of the door is cooling for meeting with other countries in latin america at to try and deal with this problem. the cause is but also potentially the poor thing that some of the people from mexico back to the country of origin. so we'll see how that develops. john holman, out to zeta. let's go through the, you know, square is paula mint has unanimously voted to enshrine its nuclear program in the countries constitution to move funding. speech by the countries leader came, jumped into the supreme people's assembly earlier this week,

nor chris and busta to the united nation said that his country could be pushed to new k will by what he called all style threats from outside. this is how the north korean state television announced the constitutional amendment to the gets on heavy as hell point. and so how much came drum on the judge? the external, a fast check time is to conduct the external activities to create and conditions and environment in favor of the korean revolution. and further permits solidarity with a nation standing against the us and the western strategy for a heck of many of the family and hearing to the revolutionary principal. i understand of independent business at the floor of the struggle of the i'm to imperialist independent countries as close to florence larry in sol. so florence, tell us a bit more about this constitutional amendment and what it's actually going to mean . so what the north korean rubbish done,

paul them and the supreme people's assembly has done is essentially turned the country's nuclear public policy or nuclear force into part of the constitution, part of the basic law of the state. now no trinity to kim john in his speech to paul and said that the country is going to continue to accelerate the more than i zation of it's nuclear weapons, to use it as a form of determines against needs, do use it as a deterrence. now, north korea considered as the us as its biggest security threat as a threat to its existence. and it seems the joint for the tree deals between the us and south korea as a provocation, as part of the preparation for war. now kim also denounced the increasingly close relationship between south korea, japan and the us calling it an asian version of nato. now last year, the north korean parliament passed into law a declaration that north korea is now a nuclear weapons states. it also lost it officially enshrined into little giving

itself the right to launch a pre emptive nucleus, try and give it considered itself to be under a threat. so what we're seeing the north korean parliament due is essentially an extension of that. but the message and the intention is very clear, no career has no intention of giving up it's nuclear weapons program. and in fact, under kim jones and we've seen the north korea manufacture as a more sophisticated nuclear weapons and also conduct a number of conduct a record number of missile tests last year. and of course, that's a big concern to the neighbors in the region as well. as in the wider world, a stronger north korea militarily could alter the balance of geo politics in the region, which is also why we're seeing a renewed diplomatic push to ease tensions on the korean peninsula and south korea . japan and, and china have agreed to revive a lead as somebody into holes that as soon as possible that meeting is, it's had been suspended since 2019. and analysts say that meeting is an opportunity for software. no, tony to improve its relations with china,

but also to bring china close ally of knows we're back into discussions on how best to rein in the new gateway from north korea. thank you for that sort slow rate. and so and so hes on al jazeera, the door will be closing on. the chinese property john evergreens, companies pulse is detained and trading is suspended. the, the shower has it been wandering around in greece, will spread across the g into west in turkey and spread south into the north of libya. now, not much will come of most of them the heaviest ones have probably already happened to have agrees. but the fact they folding a told in libya might be of some concern, and the system is not disappeared and is wandering around a little bit. so although the risk is not high, it could be seen as

a least initial annoying. east of that it's dry is still quite healthy and prices we're down to the low fourties now in baghdad, and q i with little weight, and it's still quite humans around the gulf states. there's no significant edge of them on the same page. and so that are any of all the skies of over and once more us, if we just had one day, it'd be hard to spot the differences. but the ra cheryl was there running through east and took it as a by john beyond not, not much change except the snow in the can do crushed. in tropical africa, this should be a time of rejoicing in some rain, but there's not much around in, can you or you can the whole somalia, nor even in ethiopia. there's some to the west that cameron dance. who devil and maybe in to was i'm gonna i'm what was studies, stormy weather through southern africa is left to legacy is fairly heavy. rain in south most. i'm peak for that to his 30, died in

depth analysis of the days headlines, the 1000000 euros to help to address migration. is it going to use the micro crisis to make it worse? informed opinions. we need more investors and more people that make the decisions to embrace human foothold. frank assessments this balance between to tow and sun reassurance is truly important for the politeness and destruction inside stored on al jazeera, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the open back and watching out. just bear in mind that our top story is this. our 2nd

debate for republican presidential hopefuls is just wrapped up in california. how does that's okay. meant for me you as president donald trump decision to skip the device. the president of mexico is quoting for missing is foreign ministers from 10 countries across latin america to discuss migration record number of migrants crossing into the united states from next to chris parliament has unanimously advice it to enshrine its nuclear program in the countries constitution. any of this week and will present vasta to the us and said that his country could be pushed to nuclear war by what he called hostile friends from outside funerals had been held for the most of the 90 people who died in a fight at wedding policy in iraq, the play started when fi works, we use inside the venue, not made up of why he'd reports from vanessa and iraq's and then of

a provence the wedding. so the breach in tune the mess funeral a day after a fine ripped through the vineyards. not on my head, did they like people when to have fun, but it became the opposite. it was turned upside down and got saw just instead of happiness. i mean, it is a very big tragedy. honestly, the atmosphere is unbearable and we are very sad. the samuel is now this the me to about him out of all their families. he lost cool. others loved 500 or so thanks to god. we have less because my son has 3 son. well i'm lucky if you lost one. 0 and still has to. oh wow, the many spend i was searching for the loved ones. how much do you think the guy didn't even have my mother in law?

we was sitting at the wedding party. she fell over her head. i was with them. we was sitting next to the kitchen and when the door was opened, we got out 3 days. or else we wouldn't have been able to escape neighbors who are trying to help no traumatized to swell up to see it when it's off going bit we heard ambulances and the cause, since old one is please close to the whole. we came out to check what happened to the bodies were being taken out. the young people will flooding through the halls to get out as many people as they could. the little to say fired work started the fire, the to the through the packed whole claim of the materials used in the construction of buildings like this one has the files to spread rapidly. some of the bodies of dead are so bad. the chart that it is difficult for emergency teams to to i didn't

to find them. hopefully she'll say an investigation is under way and the number of people have been arrested. dr. tod jodi. a stop for the investigation is ongoing. you all know the reason of the fire, i've not, it was the setting of a fires inside the home. they use a fire works in an unusual way. and as you know, fireworks and not permitted outside of the home, let alone using them inside. deadly fires are frequent in the rock, but people, here's a empty seat is action is taken to ensure safety and accountability. tragedies like this will happen again. and then a note of the rock training and shares of trouble. chinese property developers of ground has been suspended on the hong kong stock exchange and comes just one day off to the companies. both was detained by police. have

but behind that spends also the full and very many elected officials in the border states of germany, that's for various sex, any random book where i am right now. i've said so many people have been coming to this country where the legally or illegally demanding assignment and help. but it feels like that back in the met refugee crisis of 2015. that is why the minister says she is acting. but remember one final thoughts. the board or the germany, she has repugnant in the czech republic is more than 15 and 600 kilometers long time. it petrol, so many places safely or is this just your politics? some people in politics in this country believe it's gesture. politics with administer says it's time to act. dominant came houses, era on the drum and polish for the pockets don. cricket team has arrived in india ahead of the cricket. we'll comp long running political tensions between the 2 countries. thank these visits, rec, last time pockets. dawn was an india was 7 years ago. the team was there. he just

recently issued visas for india will not match and hi jabard will be played behind closed doors, a drug and bite racing is one of the events that makes the asian games unique. it has its roots in china, but is growing in popularity around the world. and you were to send reports from hang joe on a sport hoping to one day make it into the index. a familiar sound from old and 3000 jews on the wall. toys of china, the drag and boat, racing began in the south of the country. a means to celebrate harvest stuff with royal reese. respect the dead on the dragon. while we were young, the many of my foreign friends don't understand drug and co chair. they think the unlucky will like a month stuff. but in china, it's the opposite. dragons are a symbol of good food chain. in china,

we say we're all descended from dragons. the traditional wooden boats had no set size, and crews could consist of moving full 100 people more than racing boats built to withstand the design. all the vessels for these agent games requested at this factory on the outskirts of home, joe luis, competition votes of like different traditional drug and body so much small and long to they might of fiberglass relative in wood. and the crew is limited to 12 people. you've got a spare of the black, you've got room for 10 ro is enough for the front. a chastity owing pulse and drama . i q j is the woman in charge of keeping the base for the jo chang, university team. i of the just to the pays oh, like west to explore or west to be fast. the something i always see is that's when someone is wrong is running out of his energy. the encouragement
