i. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the world, you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. just ahead, "the new york times" reports donald trump has long been avoiding taxes but will that revelation make a difference in this election? the world closes in on 1 million covid deaths. india tops 6 million cases and several u.s. states are heading in the wrong direction. president trump says we could see the landmark abortion rights case roe versus wade drastically

impacted if his newest supreme court nominee is approved. reaction in this hours. you an explosive report on the u.s. president's finances rocks the election campaign and raises doubts about his image as a successful entrepreneur. "the new york times" examined more than 20 years of tax return data for president donald trump and his businesses. their report reveals he paid no federal income tax at all for years. mr. trump denies the allegation. >> yeah, basically -- first of all, i paid a lot. i paid a lot of state income taxes too. the new york state charges a lot.

i paid a lot of money in state. it will all be revealed. it's going to come out but after the audit -- i'm being -- they're doing their assessment. we've been negotiating for a long time. things get settled like in the irs but right now when you are under audit you don't do it. you don't do that. so we're under audit, but the story is a total fake and all of this, we had the same exact questions usually asked by the same people and that took place four years ago, you remember that. >> for the record, an irs does not prevent the release of tax returns. the times report also details financial losses and potential conflicts. john harwood has more. >> on the eve of the first presidential debate between donald trump and joe biden a bombshell report in "the new york times" reporting that the president paid only $750 in taxes the first year he was

president and a broader picture of a president under financial pressure who was relying on his status as president to keep himself afloat financially. this "new york times" report says in 10 of the previous 15 years before he became president donald trump paid no income taxes. says he has $300 million in loans that he has personally guaranteed coming due within the next four years. potential loss of another $100 million from a disputed tax refund that he received from the irs. paints a picture of a president who is therefore using his properties to attract business from lobbyists, from the u.s. government, from foreign officials all because of the tightening financial squeeze that they depict him as being under right now. this is a president, of course, who sold himself to the american people as a highly successful businessman and said his success was the reason they should hire him as president to turn the

country around. this report casts doubt on whether he had that success at all, whether he is a billionaire as he has claimed and whether or not it shakes his own voters. many of the blue collar voters who support him. this report takes away time which is one commodity the president doesn't have. he has a few weeks left. he's trailing significantly nationally and in battleground states to joe biden and the more time he has to spend defending himself against this charge, the more difficult it is to come back and you can bet he will be defending it tuesday night. john harwood, cnn, the white house. former prosecutor and cnn legal analyst reinaldo mariotti joins us. good to have you with us. >> thank you. after years of hiding the

tax returns, "the new york times" has access to two decades of income tax returns showing he paid no taxes except $1500 in 2016, 2017. he enjoyed vast rightoffs. he's currently in an audit with hundreds of millions of debt about to come true. donald trump calls it fake news. >> if he wants to prove "the new york times" wrong, he can release the tax returns like everyone else does. i have to say this is a matter causing so much speculation and so much concern that really if he doesn't want to release his tax returns, ordinarily this is the sort of thing you think either the department of justice or congress would want to investigate. >> tax data reveals he's using the presidency to keep himself afloat. what will happen once he leaves office? what's his legal vulnerability?

>> it will be interesting. there are matters that seem worthy of investigation. a mere example, incorrectly taking deductions is not a crime but if, for example, there was a false statement here that trump knew about when he signed it, that could be a potential violation. these documents are at odds with trump's financial disclosures which show him with significant assets and don't list the debts that are listed here by "the new york times." >> we've also learned that he's in the middle of a tax audit that involves $72 million tax refund that he requested. that presumably was the red flag here. what have you learned about that? >> well, what we have learned here, of course, is that that audit is still ongoing. i will say i represent lots of people who run into tax trouble and it is possible to delay

those investigations significantly but i am surprised he has been able to delay it this long and i think congress needs to provide oversight and see whether or not trump or any of his allies have discussions with the irs. joe biden's campaign is lashing out at president trump over the report on his tax returns. the democratic presidential nominee's deputy campaign manager was on cnn earlier. >> i mean, look, it's the latest reminder how clear the choice is here between -- in this race between scranton. you have in donald trump a president who spends his time thinking about how he can work his way out of paying taxes, of meeting the obligations that every other working person in this country meets every year. you know, with joe biden you have somebody who has a completely different perspective on what it means to be a working

family in this country. >> we're joined by a republican strategist and former rnc communications director. thank you so much for talking with us. >> thanks. good to be with you. >> so "the new york times" has obtained president trump's tax return data which reveals he paid only $750 in federal personal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 but no income tax at all in ten of the previous 15 years because he reported losing significantly more than he made. stunning when you consider he claims he's a man of considerable wealth and infuriating when you consider what the rest of us pay in income taxes. what do you think middle class americans and blue collar workers think? >> i think it's going to be important and not important. let me say why i say a

contradictory thing. it's important because it tells us a lot of what a lot of us already knew and it is important politically because donald trump for the first time with the announcement of the supreme court nominee has been on offense. for seven months as we've been going through covid and obviously the more than 200,000 american death toll and economic impact that that has had, he has been on defense for seven months. he was on offense. last night his event announcing a supreme court nominee could not have gone better for him. now he's back on defense. why it's important, only about 5% are undecided. that's less than half of what we saw in 2016. >> all this leaves the president particularly vulnerable tuesday night when he debates his democratic rival joe biden. >> for joe biden, he's got an

opportunity. he can say, are you the successful businessman lying to the people or to use donald trump's parlance, are you a loser that should have been fired and have been lying to the american people? >> the issue that tops all of the other issues is the pandemic. the president has done nothing to stop the rising death toll. he has held huge rallies thumbing his nose at the very science that tells us that wearing a mask and social distancing is all we've got to fight the virus. how will president trump respond? >> one thing we know about donald trump is that he is a master of distraction. anybody who's ever seen "star wars," when obi-wan kenobi says, these are not the droids you are looking for, donald trump does things because the media and the voters take the bait. you can dismiss it as being a

carnival barker or professional wrestler, as long as you cheer or boo, as long as you pay attention, that's all that matters. >> joe biden knows those strategies and now he knows his tax and earnings vulnerabilities. presumably if biden is prepared, he will keep hammering that until he gets under his skin. >> i would say i think the question or the better thing to focus on is not on the response, it's how does joe biden go and prosecute the case, does he burrow down on fact after fact where you get lost in the numbers or has he and his team found a way to pierce the balloon of donald trump? what happened today is a major arrow in biden's quiver if he's

able to use it. it's so easy too get lost in the numbers and the details on these kinds of issues. donald trump is not a master of details and we know that. joe biden may attempt to be a master of details but that's not what wins this. what tenor and tone is very important. >> doug, thank you so much. >> thank you. and be sure to tune in. cnn will carry tuesday's debate live. our special coverage begins at 7 p.m. eastern. midnight wednesday in london and 7 a.m. in hong kong for our international viewers. still to come, imagine enduring a lockdown in your dorm room. that is a reality for hundreds of students in the u.k. right now. we will have the details after the short break. mucinex cold and flu all-in-one.

the global death toll from the coronavirus is now approaching 1 million. that is according to johns hopkins university, and that number is expected to climb even higher. here in the united states experts are warning of a tough

fall and winter ahead. the 21 states in red and orange are reporting a rise in new cases. it's feared that as people spend more time indoors, those case numbers will spike again. india's confirmed cases are also rising rapidly. the country's health ministry now saying its count has now surpassed 6 million and we will have a live report from the indian capital in just a moment. first, in the united kingdom, hundreds of university students have been locked down in their dorms after a spike in confirmed cases on some campuses. universities in glasgow, scotland, and manchester, england, are among those affected. they are told they must self-isolate. cnn's scott mcclain has been tracking this in london. good to see you, scott. who is going to feed and look after all of these students that need to self-isolate and how is

the government dealing with how it's handling the pandemic. >> reporter: good question, at least in the question of manchester, 1700 students. the university and city council says the needs of those students when it comes to obviously, you know, food, medical attention, emotional support, all of those needs will be taken care of while they're being forced to self-isolate for the next two weeks. because of this concern about outbreaks on the university campuses, scotland has barred students from going to pubs, restaurants, cafes, things like that in order to stop the virus from spreading off of campus. matt hancock has not ruled out the possibility of asking university students to not go home at christmas break to prevent the virus from spreading from campus into the wider population. for the last two days the u.k.

has reported fewer coronavirus cases than the day before. that is good news. it's not enough data quite yet to know if the u.k. is bending the curve on the second wave. if it is bending that curve it's likely because of the real maze of new restrictions and regulations that this government has put in place over the past two weeks. because of the rules, the british prime minister is pushing an amendment to require parliament to vote on any new coronavirus rules. here's one mp over the weekend. >> people think liberty dyes,iet dies like this by having a shifting blanket of rules no one can understand. it's extremely serious. i don't think i look like a hysterical person to you. i'm saying this is a very serious moment. >> reporter: so department of

labor mp was asked about that amendment. he's sympathetic to the cause but would not commit his party to supporting it. >> joining us live from london. many thanks. u.s. health experts are worried cooler weather could make the coronavirus pandemic worse. cases are already ticking up in much of the country. data tracked by johns hopkins university shows the u.s. soaring past 7 million total cases and over 200,000 deaths. cnn's john king takes a look at the trends. >> new coronavirus numbers are getting worse. let's take a look if you go through the 50 state trend map. 21 states in orange and red. the northern part of the country reporting new infections than a week ago. the president says we've turned the final corner. this is not a turn from the

worse. the peak near 80,000 new cases. you've seen below 40,000. we are trending back up. 55,000 new infections on friday. over 40,000 again on saturday and they tend to tip. they tend to dip during the weekend heading in the wrong direction. then you look at the positivity map. this tells you next week. the deeper the color, the higher the percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive. 25 in south dakota, 21 in idaho and 11 in texas. still 10 in florida. those are bad metrics. more people testing positive, that means more infections as the virus spreads. i don't like to look at this from a political perspective. you hear him railing against blue states. new york, northeast, new england they went up the curve first.

democratic governors have stayed down. states with republican governors, the big summer surge. came down some, going back up. this is cases per 1 million residents. if you want to do politics, 2016 trump states versus 2016 clinton states. they went through this first. they've come down and they've largely stayed down. it is 2016 trump states, big in the summer surge, came down some. now trending back up. this is the map we should look at because we're all-americans, forget the ds and rs, trending in the wrong direction at the wrong time. getting cooler, in the fall, people moving indoors. dr. anthony fauci says, be worried. >> ann ramoyne joins me. good to talk to you. >> pleased to be here. >> president trump continues to

insist that the pandemic is winding down despite the loss of 204,000 lives to the coronavirus and case counts are on the rise across the country. is there anything to suggest we're turning any corner here as donald trump keeps insisting? >> rosemary, there's no indication that we're turning any corner except a corner towards more cases. we've seen spikes in several states in the united states. we've seen spikes globally. this makes sense. it's getting colder. we're going to see people go inside. the big fear is as people turn indoors will create more opportunity for the virus to spread. so there is absolutely no indication whatsoever that this virus is slowing down and i think it's really important that we start listening to the science.

>> fewer than 10% of americans have covid-19 antibodies so we are nowhere near herd immunity. a vaccination is way off. do we just need to get used to that idea? >> rosemary, even if we do have a vaccine that comes available even at the end of this year or beginning of next year, it is going to take a very long time for that vaccine to be distributed to the entire population and a vaccine is not likely to be so effective it will be the only measure in place. we are still going to be needing to wear masks, social distance, use hand hygiene. i think that the american public, i think the world needs to get used to wearing masks. they do work. we do know how effective masks are. we don't know what vaccine candidates are out there. we need to stop waiting for a

magic bullet and do what we can right now which is wear masks and to get used to it because it is something that can save your life and save other people's lives as well. >> as always, ann ramoyne, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. in india where cases have just surpassed 1 million. verica, good to talk to you. how is the indian government responding to the new milestone and how might that change how it's responding to this pandemic? >> good question, rosemary. the indian government has come out and said the recoveries are being reported. they've gone on record to say that the covid-19 patients overall has recovered. we should look more at the active cases currently than the total number of covid-19 cases across india.

a few numbers at this minute, the cases have happened in the last 12 days. the rate of covid-19 cases have been surging ahead in the country. the government of india is talking about the possibility of beincreasing the cost of health care because there are a lot of sales of covid-19 cases. the government insists on believing the covid-19 campaign given that we've suffered

immensely on the financial and economic front ever since the pandemic has hit the country, rosemary. >> thanks for bringing us up to date on that. lawmakers are gearing up for a contentious fight just weeks before the presidential election. they warn health care and abortion rights are in danger. we will take a look at how millions of americans can be impacted. that's next. to encourage kids to keep a little distance. here to reassure parents who are a little worried. here to support teachers who make limited resources feel limitless. and for lisa, who needs unlimited reminders. by providing disinfecting wipes and healthy habits resources like reminder posters, social distancing guides, and timely lesson plans. lysol is here for healthy schools.

history. the senate judiciary chair, lindsey graham, says he expects the committee to sign off on amy coney barrett on october 22nd. that could set off a full vote to send her to the high court days before the november 3rd election. democratic leaders say the president is in a hurry so his nominee can invalidate the affordable care act. that is the health care law known as obamacare. cnn's jessica snider reports from washington. >> reporter: democrats are really drilling into this idea that a confirmation of amy coney barrett, in particular a speedy confirmation, would be detrimental to health care in this country. one week after the election on november 10th the supreme court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of the affordable care act, in particular whether that individual mandate that has been struck down to 0 dollars

penalizing people if they don't get insurance, if that's constitutional and if not if the entire affordable care act should be struck down. that was back to 2012 where chief justice john roberts sided with liberals ruling it was constitutional because it was a tax but in 2017 amy coney barrett before she was on the 7th circuit she wrote this saying chief justice roberts pushed the affordable care act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute. it's that line that's giving democrats pause as to how amy coney barrett will come down on the question of the affordable care act. house speaker nancy pelosi is saying it could have huge practical effects. >> it doesn't matter what the process is, it matters what it means to the american people. if you are a woman, we'll be back to a time where being a woman is a pre-existing medical

condition. if your children are on your policy, your adult children on your policy, no longer will they be and that in a time of a pandemic and if you have seniors in your family who are having long-term care paid for by medicaid, they're going to be pretty soon moving back home and living with you. >> reporter: the trump administration is advocating for the affordable care act to be struck down. in fact, the president tweeting on sunday that it would be a, quote, big win if the affordable care act was struck down saying they would come up with something to replace it. however, the president so far has only issued an executive order with no teeth about pre-existing conditions, saying they will be protected but not explaining and a decision will not come down until spring of 2021 or summer. >> another contentious issue

perhaps even more hot button than health care, if that's possible, is abortion, and the precedent set by roe versus wade. that landmark court ruling protects a woman's right to choose to have an abortion in the united states. conservatives have been trying to overturn that case for decades and now with his new court nominee, president trump is suggesting they may just get their way. >> i can say this, that she is certainly conservative in her views and her rulings and we'll have to see how that all works out. i think it will work out. >> do you think a 6-3 court with three of your picks on there, mr. president, would potentially rule on a life issue, roe issue? >> certainly possible. maybe they do it in a different way. maybe they give it back to the states. you just don't know what's going to happen. >> nancy northrup is joining me from new york.

thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> i wanted to start by getting your reaction to this very rushed nomination and inevitable confirmation vote of amy coney barrett to the u.s. supreme court to replace the late ruth bader ginsberg. >> the center for reproductive rights is alarmed by the nomination of amy coney barrett and the speediness with which she will be confirmed. she is quite conservative in her views. she's been clear about her conservative judicial philosophy and in the two cases on abortion rights that she has already reviewed as a judge on the ap l appellate court of appeals where she's been for three years, in both of those cases she was against the abortion rights position. so we have her nominated by

president trump who said he wants to put someone on the supreme court who would overturn roe versus wade. so the conservative judge barrett is very, very high. >> president trump has made it clear that his motivation for nominating amy coney barrett is to overturn roe versus wade automatically. when you look at barrett's decisions to date as you point out on the issue of abortion, some of her statements suggesting she would not allow her own religious views to influence her decisions, how likely is it that she and other conservative judges would move to overturn roe versus wade? >> right now, the center for reproductive rights and other places have dozens of cases

moving through the federal courts right now. there are already a dozen cases sitting at the court of appeals that are one step away from overturning row. there are bans on abortions at six weeks and that is what is concerning about judge barrett. she has suggested in an opinion that she does think it's all right for the government to interrogate a woman's reason why she chooses to have an abortion before feet tall viability which the supreme court has been clear, that decision is for the woman. 1 in 4 woman in the united states does decide to end a pregnancy. this is an issue of great concern and great impact in the u.s. >> nancy northup, thank you for talking with us. >> thank you. hot, dry conditions are fueling new fires in california.

the zog fire just began on sunday afternoon but it's already charred at least 7,000 acres. cal fire has issued a red flag warning meaning high winds and parched ground can easily help fires spread. cal fires say they continue to fight 25 major fires across the state. drn's paul be cam men has the story. thousands of evacuations from homes as well as the st. helena fire. roaring through rugged terrain there. they had to issue the high loci ren alert. when you hear that siren, it is time to go.

>> fire evacuation in progress. >> reporter: tough news in southern california. since thursday they've been searching for this firefighter, 35-year-old carlos alexander baldisar. his vehicle was discovered in the big bear area. it was in collision with the guardrail. his backpack was found nearby. blood hounds are searching for him. how about just one glimmer of positive. she was cleaned up. baby yoda, reportedly doing fine. many animals just flushed out. just ahead, how a secret

long simmering tensions between armenia and adds zer bay january appear to have flared up. these images come from the twitter account of an azerbajiani official. this is from the armenian defense ministry. this shows destroyed tanks from azerbaijan. this is internationally recognized as being part of azerbaijan but it's governed by a majority group of ethnic armenians. nick peyton walsh has the

latest. >> reporter: well, the numbers of casualties were rising. armenia saying over 33 dead soldiers it appears on the back side, the name of the ethnic army and populated area. it is under ethnic resignation by azerbaijan. now azerbaijanis say they have lost some people. they don't have a number. who started this? it really is unclear. both sides are claiming substantial losses inflicted on the other. azerbaijan appears to have perhaps taken some territory back from armenia although armenia disputes that to some degree. the question is how does this begin to calm down? it appears to be going in the opposite direction.

calling out for partial mobilization bringing reserves towards the front lines and armenia calling for a broad mobilization of its forces. so a lot of escalating rhetoric here and fair and accurately int frankly international diplomacy. not quite as significant as this at this point. that international diplomacy is lacking or pushing in the opposite direction. the united states has called for lessening in hostilities but isn't quite forcibly interjecting itself in the situation at this point. frankly distracted i'm sure by domestic politics. russia playing a role here trying to calm fears mostly in armenia's court here. on azerbaijan's side, the president of turkey, president

erdogan has been offering assistance for the azerbaijanis. this is a very volatile conflict, one that is continuing to escalate. yet again it is turkey and russia. a deeply troubling situation to which much of the world is paying little attention. >> many thanks. well, it was the first weekend since the secret inauguration of embattled belarusian president alexander lukashenko. dozens of people demonstrated and police detained dozens of people. tear gas was used in at least

one city to clear the streets. protesters have been turning out by the thousands to support an opposition candidate now living in exile and demanding an end to lukashenko's regime. fred pleitgen joins us live from berlin in germany. good to see you. what more are you learning about? >> reporter: hi, rosemary. turkey shows the opposition can get very large crowds on these sunday marches, sunday protests going on for seven sundays in a row now in minsk. if you will, the theme of the big protest that took place in minsk through the weekend was that secret inauguration of

alexander lukashenko. they're saying he's not their president, calling him to step down. they were essentially saying this should be election. the crowds are saying she was going to be their president. saying exactly the same thing as well. some of the public messaging coming through the public opposition. they are now with the government of belarus. they are not operating inside the country. they are saying alexander lukashenko not the ruler even though he is in power and he's supporting by the russians as well. internationally this is something that continues to really be a big topic on the international stage.

french president emmanuel macron saying he should go. capable of must administering very large crowds and slowing down. >> fred pleitgen, many thanks. well, hours before being banned from u.s. app stores, tiktok gets a green light to stick around, at least for now. leading armies to battle? was that your great-aunt, keeping armies alive? drafting the plans. taking the pictures. was it your family members? who flew. who fixed. who fought. who rose to the occasion. when the world needed them most.

little bit more time for tiktok to reach the potential deal with oracle and walmart and get approval from u.s. and chinese authorities. if successful, this entire ban can be avoided altogether. sticking points still remain around this deal especially when it comes to the question of ownership. trump has said he's not going to approve a deal unless americans keep control of the company. there's disagreement about what that's going to look like. oracle says bytedance will not have any stake in this new entity. bytedance says it will have an 80% stake. all of this back and forth and drama gets away from the underlying concern that started this whole mess in the first place, which was trump's worries about the national security risk that tiktok poses and the experts i speak to say this isn't the right approach to solving that problem. instead, trump should be more concerned about standards that

have app collection and data collection around the world. even other large tech companies are criticizing the approach. net choice represents big tech companies like facebook and google that say, quote, there is no previous example in u.s. history of a complete ban on a media platform that deprives 1/4 of the u.s. population access to information on that platform. this group also warned that this ban could give foreign governments a reason to prevent american companies from accessing their markets basically providing a blueprint for how to make life difficult for american companies abroad. so the stakes here, rosemary, incredibly high. this is going to shape u.s./china tensions and altering the global landscape. >> a lot of young people

watching this closely. many thanks. some nfl history was made sunday when not one, not two, but three women worked in various sideline roles. the cleveland browns taking on the washington football team with female coaches on both sidelines and a female official on the feel. it was a first for a regular season game but for these women being first is not new. back in february washington hired jennifer king as a coaching intern making her the first black woman to coach in the nfl. in 2015 sarah thomas became the first full-time female nfl official and three years later callie brown son was hired by the cleveland browns as their chief of staff. thank you so much for your company. i'm rosemary church. have yourselves a great day. so what's going on?
