that sentiment. displays starts october 16th don't you. this is coming to you live from berlin and kill tempered and chaotic clash at the 1st televised u.s. presidential debate. no no no no we're. going to. go head to head in an angry showdown touching on white supremacy. and taxes also coming up the key speech of

the bonus time chancellor merkel warns of tough months ahead in the battle against teen and appeal directly to the german public not to underestimate the threat of a 2nd wave. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us there was no holding back u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden went on the attack in a chaotic 1st televised debate one rater chris wallace struggled at times to control the discussion as the candidates repeatedly interjected and talked over each other answers often devolved into angry exchanges and personal insults. the debate questions ranged from the economy and race relations to beilenson the us and the coronavirus of course we're now going to check the accuracy of some of the

candidates statements starting with joe biden on the way coping 1000 has impacted the country's african-american population. one in 1000 african-americans has been killed because of the cone the coronavirus and if he doesn't do something quickly by the end of the year one in 500 will have been killed one in 500 african-american or from von joined by your viva d.w. fact checker good to see you 1st of all one in a 1000 african americans has been killed because of the coronavirus that's what we just heard from joe biden is biden's claim true. well in fact there are differences if you look down to the statistics of ethnicity african-americans have to suffer a lot more during this crisis one in 1020 black americans has died so far and while one in 2150 of white americans has died that means 98 black

americans died per 100000 people and 47 white americans and also other new cities like latino asian or indeed jeanne as americans have lower death rates following the statistics of the american public media research lab and even if we consider that an absolute numbers there are more more white people to die from this corona virus we have to say that joe biden's claim is correct here black americans are more than twice as likely to die from this disease compared to white people and it looks like that this development will continue although we can't say if biden's prediction of a big increase by the end of the year off the teletubbies is correct. another topic getting a lot of attention is trump's claim that mail in voting is going to result in massive fraud this is what he had to say on that topic. there's fraud they found him in creeks they found some with the name trump just happen to have the name trump just the other day in a waste paper basket they have being sent all over the place they sent to

a democratic area they sent out a 1000 ballots everybody got 2 ballots this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen. so is that true is there evidence is the reason to believe that there will be huge voter fraud because of mail in voting. no we can see them on our team check this claim and we think it's sort of exeter rated president trump keep telling us that the mail in voting will cause a car tax situation and it will be money or fellated until now he didn't present any proof for this theory in this debate he mentioned some examples so let's have a closer look on this in wisconsin they found 3 trays with letters in a ditch yes but following a statement by the u.s. postal service it is uncertain if these ballots were completed all but only mailed to the voters and in pennsylvania the other example there were 9 béla papers in a rubbish bin 7 and none of them were votes for trump so even if we consider these

cases which are still under investigation for sure there is no evidence for historical fraud in this election so far all of concern there about whether trump is trying to build a case already for challenging the election results while another big topic was the question of how much income tax president trump has been paying let's listen but i'm asking you the specific question is it true that you paid $750.00 in federal income taxes each of those 2 year i've paid millions of dollars in taxes millions of dollars of income tax and let me just tell you there was a story in one of the papers they were eager to i paid 38000000 dollars one year i paid $27.00 michaud issues to actually enter i went you'll see it as soon as it's finished you'll see it course all of this coming from revelations by the new york times that says it has copies of trevor's the president tax filing so what does the

fact checker say on this issue. well it's actually a mention of new york times reports some days ago showed us that he paid only $750.00 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 17 so this claim of trump is not only folds the figures so something else let's compare it to an average u.s. household of the middle class in the u.s. that paid $2200.00 in 2016 so more than twice as trump the president already claimed before that he is paying a lot of taxes but he failed to deliver the proof to in this case he keeps saying that the public have to wait for it and he he reportedly paid no income taxes at all for 10 of the previous 15 years so it would be good if he doesn't let us wait too long for this more power to the fact checkers yosh of a buffett from the w. in bonn thank you so much saying look at some of the other stories making headlines

chancellor what did you make of it. well quite a speech it was because it became very emotional she turned to the german people literally saying we need to talk we need to talk about corona and she was preparing everybody for the situation to get worse now heading into a winter time she said that infection rates are rising and that there need to be conversations at every level of german society in schools in clubs in sports grounds to discuss everybody's individual responsibility this is a chance of bracing for what probably will be a 2nd wave of infections here and she pledged once again that she wants to avoid a 2nd shutdown bearing in mind that germany sucked and was a lot milder than in most other countries across the e.u. she said that that is the aim but she wants to avoid it and she needs the help of

the german public very unusually emotional for the german chancellor here and we killer you've covered a number of speeches of course by the chancellor what would you say is the most important takeaway from this very far ranging speech. well she said this is the hour of europe clearly pointing towards the e.u. summit going up and coming up that there needs to be agreement on migration there was also a lot of criticism of china of russia. but no mention of the united states so clearly she wasn't just treading a fine line she was leaving out that key ally after that presidential debate that we saw there with again donald trump not wanting to say that he would accept defeat in public so that raised a lot of question marks where she avoided that issue altogether also somewhat glossing over a lot of the disagreement within the e.u.

she called for you partners to have agreement on migration but we all know that the e.u. is still struggling to find a foreign policy common line particular on bella ruse where there's still no agreement on sanctions against a president who is no longer accepted by the e.u. so this was a sweeping speech but most of the time by far was spent on corona on the multilateralism the german chancellor sees this absolutely necessary to tackle this but also describing coronas somewhat a catalyst of destroying the unity that was there before across the world so once again putting more responsibility on the e.u. sold. the occasion for the speech of course as a general budget debate in the german parliament chancellor merkel talked a lot about the budget of course which had to be changed rapidly due to the pandemic let's listen in to what she had to say on. almost everything we had an

extraordinary emergency situation. where we did all that was necessary in the way of new decisions thank you for us to react fast and. very smartly particular because in the last 6 years we had more borrowing which is why we were able to. managed to reduce the boring 29000 to 60 percent of what it was previously all of that has made it possible for us to act with strength while at the same time among g 7 countries we are the ones with the lowest government borrowing rate and i think that is something we can be prone to. and watching a speech i notice i was the 1st applause she got in her speech make illegal merkel stressing the importance of austerity tell us what's behind that. well it's always very interesting to observe her speak in a very matter of fact tone when really what she was describing a complete turnaround in a more than a decades long policy by germany to avoid common debt what

a difference just over 6 months make what a difference a pandemic makes this saw germany completely drop its resistance to common debt that is also a historic moment in what america once again described as a historic crisis for germany and europe and it shows the determination and the will to simply drop resistance the within minutes actually what feels like political minutes and then park mastic it to try and ensure that the e.u. stays together within this external pressure of a pandemic but of course with no guarantees if you look at the broad spectrum of challenges that europe faces right now. here thank you very much for your insights that was our chief political editor. sports news now in football liverpool
