of us in the free world i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. this is the grand national left what are you sure as a president who is on your list you know it was pretty hard to follow. me it was this is not as loud as i'm a grandmother his family is not your family. can't raise your presidential burn down your stores and kill people little dramas and you seem to be disappointed at how it's not because you say it is complete really substantive. b.s. and i'm not going to give a let me have ended this segment we're going to move on to the 2nd segment it was really the joke that experienced this earnest. also coming up in bill ruse people continue to protest demanding the president

resign demanding fair and free elections but the government doesn't want the world to know that foreign journalists they're being forced to leave. getting a new cretaceous for extending distant papers is no longer possible there's no outright refusal just the same excuse over and over again the commission in charge they say called get together because of covert. well to our viewers watching on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of your around the world welcome we begin the day with the debate debacle we cannot begin to list all of the adjectives used today to describe tuesday night's u.s. presidential debate many of the words we can't say on television the child friendly headline it reads the worst debate in living memory the debate between u.s. president donald trump and former vice president joe biden was a success for no one not the candidates and certainly not for democracy voters in

the u.s. today have been lamenting that the 90 minute televised debate revealed a little about where the candidates stand on the most important issues such as the pandemic the economy and climate change here in europe america's allies say the debate was a nasty spectacle and embarrassment for american democracy the official reaction in china is a mixture of communist shodan with we told you so in a moment we'll go through what was said and what wasn't said and discuss why it matters to the world but 1st here are the highlights from an event that was not one of america's finer moments the fact is that everything he said so far is simply a lie i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar but you know i just want a widget i want to make sure who i did last 1st and i am. i want to make sure i didn't can you let him finish there he don't know how to do that that

meeting was an hour a day by me off like well as joe i'm you know join and it was the most unpopular i asked to vote i mean i got rid of i'd like i did will president be i wouldn't be a moderator of this to say and i would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer and i laid out again in july what we should be doing we should be providing all the protective gear post we should be providing the money the house has passed in order to be able to go out. and get people the help they need to keep their businesses open open schools that cost a lot of money you should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and go in the oval office and bring together the democrats republicans and fund what needs to be done now to save lives so you could never have done the job that we did you don't have it in new black you could have never done that you know i know how to do the job i know how to get the job where you don't do very well in swine flu or h one n one you were a disaster your own church stands out in a disaster t.v. 1000 people died not 200000 we have know their economic recession or you made

a lot of let us know it just made a point by now. we can say that's the under that's this is the end of that ballot count where not only have a day or 2 to be continued as in more debates as we go on president trump vice president biden it's been an interesting hour and a half i want to thank you both for participating while we want to dive into that debacle tonight to do that i'm joined here in the studio by julian fundal our strategy and campaign consultant who worked with the obama campaigns in 200820125 jeremy shapiro he's research director at the european council on foreign relations he joins us tonight from london gentlemen to both of you good evening jeremy let me start with you in the u.s. many are calling it the worst presidential debate in living memory or in u.s. history what a bell on this side of the atlantic what did you think. yeah i've

never seen anything as bad as that in any kind of debate and i think it's a sort of symptom of the way that trump has essentially degraded the state of american democracy i think i sort of felt for biden he had no choice but to respond in kind and it it's sort of demonstrates that by and that politicians are and in trying to respond to trump. if you don't come down to his level you can't respond but if you do your degrading democracy you know that that's a good point judy as you've been front and center at presidential debates before me can you explain what happened last night. well i think it was a reflection of where the debate in the campaign overall stands right now i mean everyone is yelling and the whole political discourse in the united states is just yelling over one another there's no real debate and so it's just people yelling at each other but they're not actually connecting or you know listening and talking

about the issues i don't think people are talking with each other talking past each other there are several key moments that we want to take a look at tonight the 1st is when moderator chris wallace asked the president would he be willing to denounce white supremacists and militias such as the group proud boys would you take a listen what he said give me a name give me what you surprise us and like me that can do you proud son 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. is a levy i. stand by com it was music to the ears of right wing did right wing group for boys you see right there joe biden's twitter feed captured some of the euphoria before it was deleted see right there. standing by sir that was the reaction after they heard the president say stand by

me julie's what what would you have advised by or what should have been his response to me it goes back to charlottesville and you know what happened back then remember the press conference that trump gave later after those events took place and he was asked specifically about the proud boys and he said back then you know they're fine people on both sides he was present at the opportunity to clearly did now it's white supremacy and he passed on it twice yesterday and so i think it's just pretty clear where he stands but i do think that it goes back to the strategy of dollar show where he has a clear base plus strategy where he says i want to excite the base as much as i can because i know i can't reach those swing voters and right now there are still 12 percent of the american electorate which is undecided and so i think he's saying i can't reach those voters let me turn up the volume on my own base and expand my trump base the maga the make america great again base and i think that's clearly

a sign of what the strategy is for the trump campaign germy you've got a u.s. president who tells militias and right wing groups to stand by i mean this must be like manna falling from the skies for right wing movements here in europe. yeah i mean i suppose i think at this point it's it's not even really fair to say that trump has a strategy on this it's just sort of the only thing he knows how to do. and so i think that the right wing movements in europe are are a little bit less inspired by trump than they used to be because he seems to be flailing about so much i'm not really sure. you know julius it's it's fine to say that there's 12 percent undecided i'm not really convinced of that i think that a lot of. a lot of the a lot of those 12 percent have really decided they're just aren't telling the polls

and i think that what that trump is trump is who he is and so none of his political consultants are telling him to give a fillip to the proud boys but he's doing it because it's the only thing he knows how to do and in the moment he's very interested and exciting his base i'm not really sure that at this point that represents any kind of strategy that the european right wing glom onto something that's interesting let's talk about joe biden and what he was criticized most for last night and that was his response to the question would she as u.s. president stack the u.s. supreme court justices to rebalance between liberal and conservative judges take a listen to what he said vote and let your senators know what's going on are you feeling that vote now and in fact sure you in fact let people know senator i'm not going to answer the question because if you ask. the radical left would you

shouldn't mason who is on your list joe. johns i think this is. going to get all right jim let me ask you what is the lesson there for those of us outside the united states watching. well i mean i think it reveals a sort of the lamb that the democrats have even if they should win the presidency which is how much are they going to be sort of take the lesson from the trump presidency and particularly from the last 2 supreme the supreme court fights over america garland and over the current one to whether they're going to decide that they want to be norm shatters as well and if they get control on are they going to pack the supreme court which is constitutional but not one thing that's been done in in many many decades in fact hundreds of years in well over 100 years and so it

would be it would be a real nuclear weapon in the political battles and it would sort of reduce the united states yet further into the partisan miasma that it's in but i think quite a few democrats and certainly the democratic base feels that there are tea in that and they're already fighting that battle they're just losing it and so now they have to they want to do that i think it's not surprising that joe biden is unwilling to commit to that because. it's a little bit it's damaging before the election but he shouldn't be willing to dissuade his base and out at you so there's no way he should answer that question i think he should have answered the question i think he should have said very clearly i will not pack the court i mean what we're talking about right here is packing the court adding justices to the supreme court turning d.c. potentially in a state with electoral votes that is what they're talking about and chuck schumer was asked about and he said you know everything is on the table and. and i think

this goes back to the strategy of the chum campaign that i just mentioned where you know trump wants to say look there is a radical left element whether that's true or not is a different question but that's what he's talking about when he's trying to excite his own base saying look the democrats want to stack the court they're. want to take away your guns they want to pretty much roll back everything that we have fought for over decades and you know joe biden is not willing to commit if i would have been joe biden i would have said clearly look i am a traditional democrat i am not looking to he said i am the democratic party that is what he said but it did commit to and has a base well. that they say he needs to avoid he needs to avoid berating that base and i think that base. because i'm part of it is very tired of. not responding to the republicans and kind yeah i think the bad i do

not see that take them a krauts let's stay home just because biden were to say i will not extend supreme court justices to 11 or 13 all right let me go on here before we run out of time but there does seem to be consensus that the debate fell deeply into the gutter when donald trump began attacking joe biden sons i want you to take a listen to that fiery and emotional exchange my son was in iraq he spent a year there he got he brought the bronze star he got a conspicuous service medal he was not a loser he was a patriot and the people left behind there were heroes really and i resented talking like you know you took and i'm talking about my son beau biden your top i don't know i don't know bow i know what you did all grown hunter got thrown out of the military he was thrown out dishonorably discharged not true as it was even years and he didn't have a job until you became vice president what you know out of that president he made

a fortune in ukraine in china and miles that is simply an area not of the playgroups he my son works in general my son and he didn't have a giant son like a lot of people like a lot of people you know at home had a drug problem he's overtaken it he's he's he's fixed it he's worked on it and i'm proud of him. why was that millionaire out he wasn't game. biden could have attacked trump's family at that point but he did. i thought it was a strongest moment of joe biden in that entire debate you saw raw emotions and he was you know on the stand and the stand the bully upset about what trungpa just said i mean i think i could see a politician actually saying to chris wallace hold my coat and let me walk over there he didn't fortunately but i thought it was effective i thought we saw clear motions and i thought he connected with voters watching at home jimmy do you think

it was that the moment when. biden emerged as the winner of this debate yeah i guess i agree i think that. what he managed to do in that moment was both show emotion and show control and it's always a difficult thing for a presidential candidate you want to show that you care deeply that you're emotionally in touch with these things that you feel things like other people feel things but also that your emotions don't get control of you and that you are able to sort of process them in a way which will be you know amenable to being a leader and i think biden showed that in that moment it was a key moment we've got about one minute left and one as both of you the commission on presidential debates has announced this evening that it's going to be changing some things adding tools to maintain order for the next 2 debates jeremy you 1st with that fix this problem. i hadn't heard that i'm not exactly sure

what what rules they're going to change but my guess is that they will never be able to control trump and. probably enough i've read this on twitter i think david axelrod made the point they should add a mute button for the moderators just. that would be one thing but maybe you know in the last couple debates they had on several occasions new multiple moderators maybe that would change something but i think as long as chump decides to continue to run in the republican primary with the bullfight that he's putting on there i don't think there's a way to control them well we'll see if they if they do go with the mute button it'll be interesting to see the whigs this is an excellent discussion gentleman. veteran of the obama campaigns of 20082012 the london jeremy shapiro research director at the european council on foreign relations the both of you gentlemen thank you very much.

it is what all the currents and dictators do when they don't like the message they shut down or get rid of the messengers and that is exactly what is happening now in bill roofs the coverage of mass protests has gained traction and attention globally to the dismay of president lukashenko the result is now is not good news for foreign journalists connelly joins me in just a moment he was just forced to leave bella ruse but 1st his report on efforts to gag the media and what that means for the protest of weeks of protests capturing imaginations around the world colorful symbols charismatic leaders. it's often turned ugly security forces cracking down brutally on peaceful protests and when it did photographers and journalists were there to report. people here tell you one thing time and time again knowing that the world is watching makes

them feel safer. they show the outside attention acts as a restraint on the government. but journalists are facing increasing intimidation to photographers spent 15 days in jail for quote organizing an illegal protest they had taken pictures of a demonstration an editor who published an interview in which a victim of torture names his torture also ended up in jail and tire news outlets now stand to lose their media licenses without them their journalists could face arrest at any time. foreign journalists like me haven't so far been subjected to this kind of treatment very soon there may not be any of us left here in pillars getting a new credit taishan or extending this thing papers is no longer possible there's no outright refusal just the same excuse over and over again the commission in charge they say called get together because of covert this in a country where the man in charge president alexander lukashenko who claims to have

won the disputed election downplays the dangers of the coronavirus he has said that a visit to the sauna is the best treatment for the disease. as independent media here vanishes protesters fear a future in which there is no one left to document what the government does to its opponents. and with me here the big table is the w.'s very young economy that just got off the plane from ments niggas good to see you talk to me about what has happened here basically you had a choice right you had to you had to leave the country you didn't have your accreditation anymore well just me this something that's affected basically all the foreign press i happen to have this paper. from last year it was running out and every time i tried to renew it i was told unfortunately the commission in charge called me this is. not a very convincing argument in a country where the president says go to the solenoid if you have coded or write attracted to make yourself healthy again so that's something an excuse that's been

peddled is to not just us but to the main international media and basically in a few weeks on there's going to be no one left with right good they're just letting everyone's accreditation run out and then there be no foreign journalists left that is the plan. what about the local journalists there that you know that you've worked with the mean are they you know are in danger are they even going to be able to make a living with this crackdown why wait is there very definitely in danger i was at one of the women's much as just last weekend and one of the local belarusian journalist was taken in she had an accreditation she was working clearly identifying herself as a journalist wearing a. jacket and she was given 15 days in jail for quote organizing a space in an illegal demonstration and for not cooperating the police she was a big fine and essentially she's going to lose her accreditation she will be banned from working in her own country the country's biggest news service to buy has been

taken off basically has been blocked for now for 3 months that's a kind of warning shot across the bows and basically it's going to be a situation where it's going to be state media in the country and the media will be forced into exile as already happened with several outlets were you seeing the pressure here me did you did you feel unsafe. i didn't feel unsafe personally i think as a foreigner we are privileged in situation and i think it's kind of difficult to complain when we've seen much worse stuff happen to locals who have a lot more at risk and to the need to carry a living in this country and would you have potentially face exile if this continues i definitely felt that i was being watched we had people walking past making their presence felt just to kind of give us a sense that we were being what was filmed multiplications. that was definitely a stretch to make us feel like we weren't. in a free situation to do what we wanted in that about a minute left i want to ask you need years of the opposition. they've left the

country now we've got media coverage that's being stopped me and looks like. he's not giving an inch definitely he doesn't see anything in it for him to engage in any kind of dialogue but i'm not sure it's totally up to him he has become a liability for the russians the optics are just too toxic at the moment they have him where they want and he's been forced to make concessions in the sense to give up in the us and 70 in return for russian support against his own people but i think for me the most going member will thing was the police with all the weapons at their disposal all their massive superiority in terms of power they would not willing to stand on the streets and protect the regime without as soon as the protesters came in ripped off they ran away from the protests that they are not willing to show their face and put their face to that regime so i think he has problems brewing for now he might be safe but he definitely. has problems and is going to pay a price for this russian support well we're glad you're safe nic we appreciate your reporting that you come in and tell us about it tonight glad that the flight was

safe tonight as well they calmly thank you. well the fact that our correspondent in belarus was forced to leave the country illustrates a sobering truth the free world has not won the free world is still in a fight for survival sadly that includes the united states the world watched the presidential debate on tuesday descend into something that i cannot say on the air i mean the word is cluster followed by a word that rhymes with luck cluster luck if you will and that is supposed to be american democracy last night the leader of the free world us president refused to denounce white supremacists instead he told them to stand by he can't even say yes when asked will you accept the results of the november election today the german lawmaker andreas nick described the debate as an embarrassment and he said it is disturbing not only for voters in the us but also for the friends and allies of

america it's a different story for the free world's rivals today china's main international newspaper an arm of the communist party described the chaos of the debate with unusual glee beijing sees what is happening in washington europeans do as well tonight the atlantic has never seemed so vast america never served distant even if joe biden wins the election there is a debate about whether or not he can repair the damage already done however there is a debate taking place the same cannot be said about american democracy tonight. well the day's almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at u.w. news or you can follow me a brant golf t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

this is. the u.s. presidential debate that has the world talking joe biden called performance a national. has no plan no i didn't he didn't express a single plan he had about how we're going to move forward. and it made me realize that just how much is at stake after discussions descended into a shouting match. that the election itself will be anything but peaceful also coming up the death toll climbs in the breakaway nagorno region as armenia and

azerbaijan leaders say now is not the time for peace talks and a 5 year battle begins in success and the rainy and canoeist in germany wins his flight to be considered for the refugee team and next year's tokyo lympics. good to have you with us we begin tonight with the fallout from america's debate debacle u.s. presidential. and that it joe biden has described president donald trump's performance in tuesday night's televised debate as a national embarrassment the discussion over issues including the coronavirus race relations and the economy quickly descended into a series of interruptions and insults prompting horrified reactions in the u.s.

and beyond. some u.s. commentators are calling it the worst presidential debate history 90 minutes of interruptions frost talk insults and accusations mostly from the president exchanges like this one were typical for the composition of the u.s. supreme court and the senate to consider you should go out and vote you're in voting now vote and let your senators know how you get older you feel like let's vote now that a pact they will sure you in fact let people know his or senator i should i'm not going to answer the question i always answer that because for us to know the new issue to me is us is the rational left would you she was out based on who is on your list you know this we don't you know right gentlemen is i think this is the president actually we have none of so it went for much of the evening trump seeking to distract and disrupt biden with a barrage of interjections yeah people understand the proceeds from supporters

watching in a bar in california appear to love it and words he says our president clearly clearly established the advantage over by. no questions that. he knows what he's doing about every aspect of our presidents our needs in america i descend audi's voter fraud that's what these democrats are looking to do the socialist because they say no to god it is up to the state like the united states like go to communism noticed socialism sure we stand up to fight against that. we had a drive in the battleground state of florida fighting supporters saw their man. he's doing very good job of getting his point across he has a plan which is. a man when it comes to their his name the economy around a fire is. so i think it's tough but he's he's doing very well it's very clear

that. i think that by that i think that he's a right choice for the country. for years to show if he's capable of doing that job and he proved that he is not the right guy for the for the job. several snap opinion polls taken immediately after the debate said biden won by a slim margin the next debate is scheduled for october 15th americans will be hoping they don't get a repeat performance. art let's bring you up to date now with some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world iraqi kurdish security sources say paramilitary groups backed by iran have launched a rocket attack targeting u.s. troops the rockets landed near air b.-o. international airport in these simple kurdistan region of iraq local media say sirens were heard inside a military base housing u.s. troops wildfires ravaging world famous wine regions in the u.s.
