time for peace talks. in a key speech to the bundestag chancellor angela merkel warns of tough months ahead in the battle against cope with 19 and she appealed directly to the german public not to underestimate the draft of a 2nd claim. and poland's algy peachey community is being marginalized by the warsaw government it's hoping the european commission's new report on the rule of law could change that. i'm sumi so much going to it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden of faced off in what's being called the worst presidential debate ever the chaotic 95 minute televised clash touched on issues including the coronavirus race relations and the economy but the discussion descended into

a series of interruptions and personal mudslinging. presidential debates are meant to eliminate educate and engage this one offered up little of that and instead a celtic of lies insults and interruptions mostly the work of donald trump who made hectoring an art form well then you should go out and vote you're in voting now vote and let your senators know how you get on are you feeling that vote now that impact make sure you in fact let people know his or sen russian i'm not going to answer the question i always answer that because for us china is the newest us is the radical left would you share with us out madison who is on your list jo besley don't you know rock johnson is i think this is i saw this on his latest attacks of course they have not set the tone trump defended his record on covert 19 and the tact biden over his handling of swine flu. you could never have done the job that

we did you don't have it in your blood you could have never done that yet i know how to do the job i know how to get the job we didn't do very well in swine flu h one n one you were a disaster your own she wore it stands out in disaster t. 1000 people died not 200000 in the rebel area nomic less national you made a good article as no are just made a point but i now and there was no one no we didn't shut down the economy this is his economy it's been he shut down any attempt at meaningful debate was spoiled by cross talk. to the scientists that are in charge the way they will have the vaccine very says it doesn't but with as a result right the minute you get the final word it's hard to get any word in with this clown excuse me this at one point the exasperated moderator ton teacher scolding donald trump. i think that the country would be better served if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions i am appealing to you sir to do that perhaps the moment that will live longest in the news reels was when trump

to claim the invitation to condemn white nationalist groups. give me a name give me a what is appropriate that's unlikely to can die out process on right proud of my boys stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what i'll tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti fair and the left because this is not a right as long as there is a levy are they kept on an edifying spectacle in which donald trump people over his policy blindspots and his competitor biden people over his each the pair managed in this era of formalisation consensus the way are known when it's one of the biggest confrontations of the evening came over how much income tax president trump has been paying allegations over trump's taxes to re resurfaced last week with a report in the new york times detailing a pattern of tax avoidance and that prompted this question from

a moderator 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 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 there were tax i paid 38000000 dollars one year i paid $27000000.00 charge here i went you'll see it as soon as it's finished you'll see it. president trump there talking about his taxes a lot was said over the course of the debate let's take a closer look at those words now our resident fact checker is with us to talk about this story. according to new york times president trump didn't pay taxes in $10.00 of the last 15 years that as we just heard there he claims to have paid millions of dollars in taxes so break this down for us. well you mentioned them before the new york times showed a significant evidence that donald trump paid only $750.00 in federal income tax in

2016 and 17 so this claim of trump is not only falls the figures show something else let's compare it to an average u.s. household of the middle class they 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 a proof he keeps saying that he the public have to wait for it he's reportedly paid no income taxes and you have served at all for 10 of the previous 15 years so it would be good if he doesn't let us wait too long for that ok yes i want to move over to the contender now joe biden because he tried throughout the course of the evening to show that there is a lack of management at the white house when it comes to cover 1000 crisis this is what he said 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-americans you know sure those are pretty startling numbers one in $1000.00 african-americans has been killed because of the coronavirus is that claim true. in fact there are differences if you look down to the statistics by ethnicity african-americans have to suffer a lot more during this crisis one in 1020 black americans has died so 4 while 2001 in 2150 white americans has died that means 998 black americans die per 100000 people and 47 why do americans following the statistics of the american public media research and even if you consider that an absolute numbers there are more white people dying due to the corona virus in the us we have to say that joe biden's claim is correct you black americans are more than twice as likely to die from covered 19 compared to white people in the us and it looks like

that this development will continue although we can't say if by these predictions for the end of the year of a big increase of fatalities is really correct ok another topic that i want to ask you about that's been getting a lot of attention is that president trump's claim again that mail in voting is going to result in massive fraud let's see the clip there's fraud they found him in creeks they found some with the name trump just happen to have the name drug just the other day in a waste paper basket they're being sent all over the place they sent to a democratic area they sent out a $1000.00 everybody got 2 ballots this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen us have this is going to be a fraud like we've never seen we heard from the president there is that true. no we can see them right now our team check this claim and we think it's exadata by the president trying to keep telling us that the mail involving would cause a karate situation in november and that it will be manually to there's this vote

until now he didn't present any proof for this theory to and in this in this debate we have seen he mentioned examples so let's have a closer look on these in wisconsin for example they found free trade with letters in a ditch yes but following a statement by the u.s. postal service it is uncertain if these ballots were completed or were only mailed to the voters and the other example in pennsylvania there were 9 ballot papers in a rubbish bins 7 among them world votes for trump ok but so even if you consider these cases which are still under investigation we have to remember for sure there is no evidence for historical fraud in this election didn't you just have ever checking the facts for us from the 1st presidential debate thank you very much. and let's get some analysis on the debate now we have to use international editor richard walker with us here in our studio hi richard you could say it wasn't really

much of a debate there was a lot of interrupting a lot of mudslinging a lot of insults as well what do you think we actually learned from the debate yes sumi i mean it wasn't really the most illuminating debate was it and i think joe biden after after the 1st section even even said that himself i think what we have learned from this is on the one hand we've seen that debate strategies how are they going to position themselves in these debates each candidate and what kind of a strategy they're going to pursue and i think it's fairly clearly on the biden side it's to play the kind of the reasonable guy the reasonable alternative to donald trump and to portray him as extreme. and on donald trump's side is to try to wrong foot joe biden at every opportunity hence all of the interruptions. and i think they you kind of see revealed in that strategy that each of them to some extent wants to make this a referendum on the other you know neither of them unnecessarily playing on their

own strengths they want to reveal the weaknesses of the other candidate so i thought that was quite interesting and we'll see if they continue to pursue that i would imagine they will in the in the coming debates. and then i think the other point is that i would pick up on is on this whole issue of the result was the last thing within the debate where the moderator asked both kind of the will you urge your supporters if there's not a clear result on debate night which is quite likely really really words them to calm and will you respect the result once it has been certified do you promise to accept that result. and from joe biden was very clear answer of yes from donald trump there really wasn't such a clear answer and he even said things like it's a rigged election. this is not going to end well and that it could be months before we know the result and i would pick up on that and say if he's talking about

potentially months of uncertainty that's a hint that he might even be interested in trying to stay on beyond inauguration day or talk about the voters here because politics is so tribal right now in the u.s. do you think they might be swayed by what they saw yeah well it's true i think one figure i saw is that only about 14 percent of voters are undecided at this stage so a lot of people have made up their minds when we think about you know will these strategies of appeal to them the strategies we just mentioned well on the one hand what does joe biden want to do he wants to portray donald trump as essentially too divisive too chaotic donald trump wants to portray joe biden as too old so that's what he's trying to do with these interruptions and trying to wrong foot him he's trying to play into this idea that joe biden is too old. to kind of forced biden

into these situations where his stuff it comes through and he's unable to completely stay on message with joe biden i think he was most effective where he was just trying to stay calm and not responding to those attacks. i think on either side i think it's hard to say that there's really a clear winner like whether those undecided 14 percent you know some of them will be thinking yes joe biden did seem old times some of them will be thinking donald trump did seem totally chaotic a non-presidential so i think it's too early to say how that will come through right our chief international editor richard walker thank you for your analysis. let's catch up on some other stories from around the world belgium finally has a new government after almost a year and a half of negotiations the flemish liberal alexander to crew and former finance minister will leave the 7 party coalition as its prime minister in 2010 belgian

state without a government for more than 500 days the longest for any government in the world. disney says it will lay off $28000.00 employees at the inn parks in the us limited visitor capacity and uncertainty amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic of putting pressure on its revenues the media and entertainment company lost 4 point $7000000000.00 in the last quarter. now there's little sign of a letup in clashes between azerbaijani and armenian forces over the separatist region of nagorno-karabakh and the conflict might be widening to draw in regional powers turkey's foreign minister has been reported as saying his country would back by john with every means available the un is calling for an immediate cease fire but leaders on both sides have brushed off the suggestion of peace talks. this man's heart and has been shelled beyond recognition. it now resembles

a number of other civilian homes in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region. everything's going well what else can i say. officially the separatist region lies within as of by john but it has been under the control of ethnic armenian forces backed by the amenia and government since 1994 fighting has now also spread well beyond the borders of the contested xyron like in this bordering town in azerbaijan and is threatening to spill into an all out war. despite the growing death toll both military and civilian neither armenia nor azerbaijan appear ready to take steps towards pace or to build millions of very hard to talk about negotiations when specific military operations are underway. it is especially concerned about the alleged involvement of turkey which it claims has begun aiding its ally as i've

shown. there is no evidence of turkey's involvement in the conflict and there is no such made that azerbaijani army is sufficiently prepared to ensure the protection of its people and its territory we will not. both sides have accused the other of initiating the latest hostilities attacking civilian targets and obstructing negotiations the clashes have continued into a 4th day despite international calls 1st ceasefire. french president emmanuel macron is planning to hold discussions with both russia and the u.s. on ways to end the conflict in. maine while both armenia and azerbaijan continue to see this citizens' q 2 and list in the military and join the battlefield. chancellor angela merkel is warning of tough months to come during the winter ahead and says the people of germany need to prepare in order to avoid a 2nd nationwide coronavirus lockdown as she made those comments during the annual

budget debate in parliament merkel defended her handling of the crisis so far rejecting criticism from the far right opposition a.f.d. that her government used the pandemic as a pretext to spend taxpayers' money. knowledge the difficulty of coping with the coronavirus and its restrictions but said that it is too soon to ease up completely . this is what i mean to them beginning with the moment what i miss most is the spontaneity in encounters with other people. that's the way it is and i think we all want that spontaneity that naturalness back we all want life as we knew it back especially our country's young people. but we are currently putting everything that we have achieved in the past few months at risk we must not allow a nation wide restrictions high economic and emotional losses again. we cannot allow a dying person in

a hospital or nursing home to die all alone because their loved ones aren't allowed to hold their hand to say goodbye. i'm speaking here because i want to do everything i can to prevent another nationwide shutdown for him. let's bring in our chief political editor michelle occurs now she's at the german bundestag for us. so is germany like other e.u. countries moving closer towards a full lockdown scenario again. well it isn't for now but certainly there are more nuts and bolts and places a common agreement on when more measures are needed at this particular moment is the threshold of $35.00 infections per 100000 people per week so there's now a so-called hotspot formula in place that was agreed upon yesterday and now we're here i'm going to call today in and usually emotional speech appeal to germans to

keep that discipline to be patient and to prepare for worst times to come once again this autumn once again vowing that she wants to avoid a nationwide shutdown but it's by no means being ruled out despite the fact that is in terms of infection rates and deaths doing so much better seems to be pretty much an exception within the european union for now well germany is halfway through it's a 6 month european union presidency as well on the agenda there also is being dominated by the pandemic what did she have to say about that. and she's determined to take the lead in making this a european issue also an international issue but there she sees this as the moment for the european union to actually pull together she was self of course has done that policy turnaround where she after a decades long resistance from germany suddenly allowed the european union to take on joint better that's the closest germany's come to so called the euro born

scenario so far that says have a listen to what she specifically had to say on europe the america we know and they say was the case before the pandemic but this is intensified with the pandemic that multilateral cooperation is under considerable pressure in many areas. we hadn't experienced such pressure in recent decades this changes the world and if you look at history a pandemic like this kind tends to find such developments and that's why i think it's very important that we resist the tendencies towards renationalisation and protectionism. that misnomer to nothing that has nothing to do with been able to be sovereign on certain matters of i'm with my but overall we have to push for joint collaboration. and we also understand in this to a certain extent aggressive world that we're faced with. as the e.u. member state we can achieve little alone. and for me this is

europe's hour. here. so a pledge there for europe to stick together and the absence of her mentioning the u.s. let alone us president donald trump quite clearly that's where she sees a key risk for that multilateralism that she is so calling e.u. leaders but also internationally leaders to act upon and times out both geopolitically but also specifically and regional regionally through the corona crisis our chief political editor michel because now the bundestag for us thank you now a new rule of law tool aimed at sanctioning states that flout the blocs democratic principles and values has been approved by a majority of e.u. members poland and hungary opposed the rule of law checks hungary's government has

come under scrutiny for its increasingly authoritarian methods but many have their eye on poland as well because of its treatment of the l g b t community. pictures like these are the reason why bart starship ski is getting death threats. he puts up the sign of the entrance to tell us that a so-called how g.b.t. free zones shining a spotlight on the difficulties gay people face in poland the situation they laugh or we are not showing off or we are in the closet where we are at our house not showing that we are i am scared of being beaten i am scared of being. scared that somebody will wait for me in front of my house. almost 100 local governments have declared themselves free of l g b t ideology these declarations are not legally binding. but rights groups say that if you'll have a phobia even outside the zones counter protesters have repeatedly attacked members

of the algae bt community as you can see here. and have seen their fit of this fake . i've heard. that it's not just lies it's the people who are trying start on to us. poland's ruling and justice party is behind much of the anti-gay rhetoric it claims to be protecting traditional family values here we have to defend ourselves against the l g b t people their way of life is the road to perdition it leads to the dismantling of basic social structures in which the family plays the most fundamental role. the european union has condemned poland's treatment of its bt community i want to be close to clear l g b t q i have 3 zones are sure manatee 3 zones and they have no

place in ours union in july the e.u. commission rejected grants to 6 polish towns that had so-called l g b t free zones. but it wants to see more concrete action. so i expect that european you know be not the union of empty wars about something more. obvious that the people. in it until that equality becomes a reality in bob's country he will continue his fight against homophobia. time for some for on this. liverpool player. has tested positive for the corona virus after displaying mild symptoms the spanish midfielder only recently joined liverpool from byron munich he's played once for the club but missed liverpool's last 2 matches was

a key part of the byron team that won 3 trophies last season can now have to self isolate for at least 10 days as required by u.k. authorities. byron munich take on dortmund in the german super cup on wednesday night in munich the game between the bundesliga champions and runners up was meant to happen before the league season but the coronavirus disruption pushed it back it comes at a time when both clubs are licking their wounds. by an munich of bidding for a 5th trophy this year in the super cup against dortmund but the otherwise all conquering bavarians are smarting they suffered a shock for one defeat at home for 9 in their 2nd bonus the game at the weekend the roy son name is also out of the super cup through injury and i want to do for him as often time did very well they kept things very tight so we didn't have the same punch that we usually have we have to move on from that game and concentrate on

dortmund and like every other match desperate so when it's your desire to for. given the good news for byron is that dortmund also surprisingly lost on saturday going down to let out. a young don't win team showed their inexperience at times and could have wily captain marco royce back in the line up against di and. dozens of sonata months or 171819 years of age the fact they don't play at their best every week is normal we have to have patience and we have to find the right blend the coach must find the right mix we have total confidence. drop and of not won a trophy since lifting the. last year beating who else but by and. i know the scalp in this year's edition for the black and yellow rose will mean 2 defeats on the battles for by and for the 1st time since december. let's get

a reminder now of our top story u.s. president donald trump and a democratic rival joe biden faced off in an angry and chaotic 1st debate their answers often devolved into a series of interruptions of personal insults as they touched on the coronavirus economy and race relations. robots we'll have more coming up on the business take you to.
