10:30 pm
listen to this to get. elected to scupper the. lead. subscribe to documentary on you tube. the 1st one was about temperature shouting match the 2nd happened with each candidate in a different studio in a different city talking to completely different audiences i'm talking of course about the 2nd u.s. presidential debate that didn't happen but the fact that the candidates couldn't even agree to talk to each other this time really does beg the question what was the point i'm phil gail and this is the day.
10:31 pm
we're building our country stronger and better than it's ever been before and that's what's happening this president braces all the fog's in the world i mean his best friends were leader of north korea. like i did white supremacy. supremacy. will not hear me race being divided trying to unify but you always do it you always start off with the chaos you get in. whether or not he denounces a piece but this is the thing that the president wants to do always take our eye off the ball what's at stake the peaceful transfer i absolutely want that but i get the i don't want to transfer it is a little weak it. also on the day british prime minister boris johnson responds in kind after the e.u.
10:32 pm
tells britain that opposed brags that trade deal depends on the u.k. making concessions. they don't seem to want to progress a free trade deal that was pretty clear from the conclusions of the summit they don't want to go any any further unless that fundamentally changes then we're going to have to come out on australian terms but we will prosper mightily nonetheless. welcome to the day voters in the us have had time to reflect on the latest battle between u.s. president donald trump and he's democratic challenger joe biden the 2 man answered people's questions at the same time at different events and different t.v. channels the town hall meetings as then we place the 2nd presidential debate which was cancelled after president trump was diagnosed with covered 19 and then refused to debate online as you'll see they had very different approaches in style and
10:33 pm
substance. always confident at times defensive as the incumbent u.s. president donald trump now has a record to pick apart and he got a grilling starting out with the nation's biggest crisis the coronavirus. knew it was a big threat at the same time i don't want to panic this country i don't want to go out and say everybody's going to die everybody's got their own over after you don't have this money in but you can you know there's not a little bit and more contentious exchanges as trump made exaggerated claims about voter fraud and deflected criticism over his tax returns and his position on white supremacy in the rush into it you've done this lying to everybody seem like i do now it's white supremacy you times against a white supremacy. my position at the same time on a different channel a different tone thomas challenger joe biden offered a forceful rebuke of trump's pandemic response it was the president's
10:34 pm
responsibility to lead and he didn't do that he didn't talk about what needed to be done because he kept worrying in my view about the stock market we make up 4 percent of the world's population we have 20 percent of the world's deaths were the situation we have 2 $110.00 plus 1000 people dead and what's he doing nothing he's still not worried mass and so on because at times that bite and he endured but he did deliver clear punch lines on a number of issues including foreign policy if they will and before the election you are open we've been most effective as a world leader in my humble opinion not just by the exercise of our power most powerful nation in the world but the power of our example that's what's led the rest of the world to follow us calling factor trading blows remotely the 2 candidates will again face off at the final election debate next week about making the june 4th so for more on the stool at
10:35 pm
a distance let's bring in the filmmaker democratic activist choudhry. live from los angeles i'm happy to welcome back republican strategist chris focus a welcome both let's start with the event itself chris folk that does it bother you that these 2 men did not meet face to face. no. you know going to the president is an area no matter where your peers are where he speaks and you know the 1st time to debate in person present was to brew dip interrupting you know all the criticism he received and so now he chooses not to do this online forum which is really kind of a disservice to the voters out there you know the town hall where interest questions good bad and indifferent and just reside anyway so there's this president in terms of the media's perspective is not going to matter what he does challenge i do these t.v. events actually matter to take a swipe people's votes i think they matter sometimes that's why i'm so sad they
10:36 pm
didn't have a debate and i think like president trump surprisingly enough really said that they were unable to have an impersonal debate because i think those are some of the very few magical moments when voters are actually changeable these 2 town halls i think both men did ok i think both people did what they expected to do there but there were scheck tests right the audience saw either a great performance or a poor performance depending on the bias of how they even chose to choose which channel they want to watch so i'm looking forward to next week and that it is i think really what the voters deserve and only one of the only things that truly is a changeable. element this late in the election i will let's look at some of the issues that were raised we'll start with the pandemic of course and even in the midst of this pandemic with nearly 218000 dead and nearly 8000000 u.s. covert cases a wearing a face mask is still a contentious issue apparently his joe biden. the words of
10:37 pm
a president matter absolutely no matter whether they're good bad or indifferent they matter and when a president doesn't wear a mask or makes fun of folks like me when i was wearing a mask for a long time then you know people say well it mustn't be that important chris focus does it matter that the president of the united states appears to have refused to wear a mask in the middle of this pandemic and looks people who do the president has want to face mass repeatedly he is you know definitely expressed misgivings about the fact that the mass or you know the appropriate place the mask like a lot of americans that we get our freedom very serious we take our individual rights very very serious but when to push comes to shove the president or the mask when appropriate at the same time he's more than just the 1st patient the president of the united states is whether people want to hear this or not it's the most important job in the world so the presentation of the president things that you saying the way he comports himself streamlining or and so sometimes there may not
10:38 pm
be aware going to mass simply because the communications being issued is far more important then then piece of cloth in between the president and the the audience are in charge of what do you think that doesn't matter. i think it does matter i think presidential leadership the bully pulpit i think these things matter and i also think it's a bit odd that you know donald trump has decided that the nonworking of the mask is the thing that keeps his coalition together but i think the real point is that where it or not where it. anytime anyone brings it up whether it's biden or trump it just puts the focus back on the pandemic and that's the one battlefield that donald trump doesn't want to fight this election on because it actually becomes about his presidential leadership and his job as president he wants to fight about law and order the stock market anything but the pandemic anything about his response to it as president and so all of these conversations just keep it focused
10:39 pm
on the one thing that probably is going to be the reason why the president loses reelection what about that chris fold now is this the president's week in states to not to say that it's even weaker shoers is just completely out of context leadership the president has been overwhelming in a number of different areas where there is the response to this dynamic whether it's our economy is whether it's bouncing back rooms and image you know the day any expert left right or in the middle will tell you that the costs on the american people economically in terms of the actual cost you people's lives is going to be far greater than the actual number of people that succumb to code any death of course a tragedy but the president understands the despite some people's reluctance we have to get this country up and running again and we have to return now where there is no return we have to move along we have to move on as a country economically emotionally and the only way to do those the press corps the
10:40 pm
president showing us how to do that well let's hear from joe biden on another contentious a suicide because he better to go serve her confirmation hearings for a saint on the u.s. supreme court. if they voted before the election you are open to expanding the court i'm open to considering what happens from that point on i know you said so many times during the campaign all through the course of your career it's important to level it is very george if i if i say it in the no matter what answer i gave you if i say it that's the headline of mark hurd how do that seems like a strange and so what's wrong with joe biden's view on stacking the supremes courts and making headlines. you know it's a hard subject to talk about and it comes down to the exercising of our and what makes you know how people are comfortable and we've seen you know for decades the republicans are very comfortable exercising every lever power in order to shape the courts in the way that they want and democrats show this sort of reluctance to do it it seems unseemly it seems on toward but i think you're seeing general shed just
10:41 pm
to guide you back to the question i asked you what's wrong with people knowing where joe biden stands on the issue of stocking the supremes cold. she is worried that the press will blare a headline saying joe biden wants to stack the courts full of democrats and i think that you know we've seen it on balancing of the court that he may decide needs correction in consultation with other people but job eyes joe biden said the kind of person to make that promise and then just follow through with it without checking with a lot of folks are they have a lot of varying opinions and so i think he does feel backed into a corner where it doesn't really want to say because it is a very specific thing that he would want to be very very specific about i mean we're talking about you know constitutional provisions and yet chris folks present from banks no bones about this. fills a form point to make here and maybe here and actually is a little bit different but if you know that 80 selection in your player process for
10:42 pm
judges in the united states has been really unchanged problems and not done anything different than republicans do when they were the last challenge for democrats is they just don't win enough to watch winning elections provide legislators legislators with provide it by saying consent of the president they've selected justices that serve on the supreme court it is literally that simple joe biden does not want to admit to the american people that used pretty supersede that historically mandated death constitutionally mandated process to get what he wants because democrats can't get it through the regular electoral process it's that planes of ok if you can't win by the rules that are set that change the rules will be thank you so much for joining us the both democratic activists that are in charge of a republican strategist chris focus thank you so much thank you. britain
10:43 pm
says there's no point continuing to talk some messy e.u. changes its position prime minister boris johnson's comments came after an e.u. summit proposed fresh talks in london next week mr johnson's official spokesman told reporters as far as we're concerned the trade talks are over the you've effectively ended them and only if the e.u. fundamentally changes its position will it be worth talking so what is johnson has been telling the british public to get ready and since we have only 10 weeks until the end of the transition period on january the 1st i have to make a judgment about the likely outcome and to get us already. and given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with the rangelands that are more like australia's based on simple principles of global
10:44 pm
free trade. let's look at these negotiating stances with simon russia would who's professor of politics at the university of surrey and this specialist in a u.k. relations is also an expert in negotiation ferry so he's the full package welcome to you when one side tells the other don't bother coming unless you're prepared to change your mind should be that as a sincere ultimatum or just another move in this chess game. i think really we have to sit as the last or the u.k. i think was very clear in what it said or rather what it didn't say didn't actually say that it didn't want to have talks it's that it is you that the the e.u. didn't once have. and i think the door has been left very much open not even just a job can see this process next week. boris johnson saying if the e.u. wants to come to london. then they can and indeed we know that michelle obama
10:45 pm
already was coming to london on monday next week so this process is going to continue rather than run into the sand this weekend. 50 you has been a very good about backing that chief negotiator michel barnier but they also have the luxury of being able to play good cop bad cop so let's have a look at the good cop and get a medical. biazon provide a fight we are ready to continue negotiating we have seen light in the last days of negotiations shut but of course there are also still shadows if the e.u. has its way and if i have mine then we should simply carry on the talks i thought it's in so far so reasonable now here's president bad cop. leave written in the british whatever they were told jordan the vote need the european single market they are much more dependent on us than we are on them but what's on
10:46 pm
the table today the british proposal is to have access to the european market without respecting the rules follow the rules today but being able to change them this is unacceptable to accept that simon underwood is it harder for one country to negotiate with a bloc of 27 all of whom have to agree what's being agreed and any of whom can say what they like during the negotiations. well the e.u. has been very good at using its internal differences as a way of tying the hands of the commission who actually do the negotiating and i think that's the key point is that it's neither markel nor emmanuel mccann who is doing those negotiations even though clearly they have strong views on the matter it falls to the commission to michel barnier is the lead negotiator at the same time we are such remember that these member states are going to have to sign off on whatever deal is put together if one comes together the commission doesn't set
10:47 pm
accounts of the range of views in that room and will certainly use that to try and force more concessions out of the u.k. . i like to quote you back at yourself if i might have been reading your your work as long as the agreement produces a better outcome than a non agreement then it's rational to proceed with the agreement that's what you wrote but especially my question is is politics rational doesn't better depend on who you are and what you want when i look at boris johnson i say that there are many loud voices within his conservative party who would view an economically catastrophic know deal as a victory if it involved telling brussels to push off so it was better is better. well it entirely comes down to who you are and if we took this impurity economic times then we wouldn't have gone down as this possible because the strong economic consensus is that this is going to see her spice the e.u. and the u.k.
10:48 pm
whatever the outcome because it's not going to be as economically efficient as membership but i think that's the key point is that the politics of this really matter and the symbolic arguments of taking back control of sovereignty no matter what the practical difficulties really does weigh very heavily in the case so i think we have to recognize that the chance of a no deal right now remains very high not simply mechanically because of the lack of time it's left but also because of the the whites of political action here in the u.k. since 2016 and if you were a betting man where would your money go would you would you would you bet on the deal being done. all. these i seems to be these days end up with a question about my betting pretenses which are that i don't bets but if i did have to bet i think it's a it's
10:49 pm
a dead heat between that seat it's no better and no less of one of the other concerns of the arts. i think by sides once it's a half and 0 but they buy stuff in a strong tease about what they once accept in the moment it doesn't look like they're making the necessary efforts to bridge that gap and get the deals that they say they want ok so if you were advising the british government what would you be telling them to do next. at this stage i think i would be advised that it's a key call lines of communication because even if there isn't a 0 they still find themselves on the surface to january right next door to the e.u. and the us still needs to have a working relationship so it makes sense to try and work something out now once they have this opportunity without the disruption that would come from a no 0 at the end of the year so this process point in january once and for a very long time after a very reasonable very rational thank you for explaining that to us professor simon
10:50 pm
usha word from the university of southern. germany has one of the lowest covered 19 death rates in europe or one prays for its actions at the start of the pandemic but a recent search of infections has sparked confusion as new restrictions are posed and some event overturned in court containment measures vary from state to state now many chipman said looking for clarity. the wait for corona virus test tearing cologne in western germany can be a long one but without a negative test result people from a domestic high risk area of banned from staying at hotels in some regions of the country but now some states are already lifting the accommodation bans while in other states it still applies confused so many germans. nobody knows anything i mean where

a family the kids have been home for ages i have no idea who came up with such a stupid idea in the capital on friday palin's administrative court overturned the limit on opening times on boss restaurants and shops that was implemented by the senate just a week ago german health minister. said the court's decision was regrettable he believes the measure wasn't accepted due to the hazy guidelines between the different states. it is it's also this inconsistency that has made it difficult for many people to understand the whys and wherefores of our greatest asset during the pandemic is simply that it can be understood that there's a logic in it that we have a certain cohesion in the framework and in the approach to the action we take. as numbers of cases increase politicians are desperately urging people to comply with the current virus guidelines they say they warn is the only way that daycare

schools and businesses can continue to operate normally this is the only way they say to prevent a 2nd lockdown meanwhile germany's hospitals are also preparing for a 2nd wave experience gained in spring means specialist staff here are now in a position to better assess the progress of the disease and to use ventilators more specifically but the shortage of nurses remains a pressing issue concerns are also growing that if the number of infections continues to rise so could the demand for beds in intensive care units and. the security forces in thailand have used water cannon to disperse pro-democracy demonstrators thousands rallied in defiance of a ban and called for reform to the constitution under the monarchy and for the prime minister to step down thailand is facing its most serious unrest since democracy was overthrown in 2014 a particular issue the current cake but have

a long cold and spends much of his time in germany rather than in thailand which raises questions not just at home but also in the german parliament. the protest movement in thailand is picking up momentum protestors are calling for constitutional change and want to reform thailand's powerful monarchy people want to really really go to the roots of their grievances they want systemic changes. and they will be look and this is protest there is our mary and there is that and when we look to the root causes of the problem they see these gene compositions as the cost of them and i think a pal. thailand's king along corn has a strong influence on most aspects of thai society and has tried to consolidate his
10:54 pm
power he is known and often criticized for his lavish lifestyle. but instead of ruling from his royal residence in bangkok. the king prefers to spend his time fountains of kilometers away in germany. this hotel in the bavarian resort town is where he normally stays for long stretches of time his presence in southern germany has been a tabloid sensation but it has also drawn strong criticism from thai activists including jr. who fled thailand and lives in europe since 2010 the thai people are getting more angry because he is not here to answer to at least. stop into weaning you know what he is here using. locations and continue to hope to say. she has organized a series of protests across germany to raise awareness and push for change in
10:55 pm
thailand like shining slogans against the king on his favorite hotel the unpleasant things the king shouldn't be acting as head of state from a foreign country germany's government appears to agree. as we have made it clear that politics concerning thailand is not to be done from german soil. on top of that there are many bizarre reports about what is happening there. not for that . we would always oppose having guests in our country who run their state affairs from here. but the german government hasn't announced any specific measures jr president sent a letter to the german chancellor and other leaders to urge the government to act. the king has now returned to thailand for the 1st time in almost 6 months and is expected to stay for a few weeks protesters have vowed to continue demonstrating despite

deal with canada mr johnson says the. e.u. has a fundamental change of position. welcome to the program fred prosecutors are treating the fatal stabbing of a man near paris as a terror attack officers of shot dead a suspect police were called to one of the french capital's north western suburbs after reports of suspicious activity near a school witnesses reported hearing the attackers shot. arabic phrase meaning great it's often been used during acts of terror police shot them out after spotting him wielding a knife nearby. or french president emanuel visited the scene of the stabbing a short while ago and said france would not be divided by terrorists. and before he
11:02 pm
spoke those words so we talked to a paris correspondent and elisabetta as she told us more about the man who'd been attacked legal victim was a history teacher who show the mohammed cartoons republic's recent eventually ignore in class and it's likely that this incensed some of the one of the few because we don't know whether the assailant was himself a pupil of just a friend but he was the d.p. the professor was attacked and killed and decapitated by somebody who thought was outraged and so cartoons might be shown again to the dockyard least which is the authority specifically or in the investigative magistrate specializing in terrorism were immediately put on the case and they're now. investigating to see whether he acted alone whether this was preplanned whether this was spur of the moment the area is called also to know being thought also to lead is a suburb of paris it's about 20 miles out of paris it's was years for decades
11:03 pm
a working class suburb and it has groomed our muslim community rooster which is completely peaceful but it has the kind of problems that you have in those areas which is that. too many young people who do not find jobs and therefore stay around and what president not quite as recently call eratosthenes areas you have small clusters of people who want to live. in sort of normal normal french way but in crazy get to as in which they stay together to speak arabic and they go to one specific mosque is of course he had a mosque in the area you know we had terrorism in france for was 4050 years almost started in the in the 2nd we've had it in the eighty's and it was a radiance it was libyans it was various things the formal things that we've been we've learned to live with and i think there's also a movement in france so political cartoons and farcical to law districts and. i
11:04 pm
shall have to think brings the country together even though we have been fairly divided on it braced you position and a majority together something on which people say no this is what this is where the line is drawn we do not accept that there should be you know murders are justified because people drew drawing that sound so to some extent it's bringing the french together more than it's dividing. and sam elisabetta paris british prime minister barak's johnson is one of the u.k. to prepare for a no deal break from the e.u. and asked what he called a fundamental change of position from brussels e.u. leaders have dismissed mr johnson's statements as rhetoric just as leaders in brussels were wrapping up 2 rather slow days of talks from across the channel british prime minister johnson decided to breathe some life into the meeting given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and
11:05 pm
given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i've concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with a range of moves that are more like australia's based on simple principles of global free trade the clock is ticking in 10 weeks time the u.k. could crash out of the block without a deal key issues regarding treat are far from being settled access to u.k. fishing waters yet another contentious issue. some e.u. leaders are warning that britain needs a deal more than the e.u. knew some would seek new claim it just so happens that making the british prime minister happy isn't the location of leaders of the 27 member states that chose to remain in the e.u. focused on the podium in its. lead but whatever the british people were told during the referendum they need a single market they are much more dependent on us than we are on them. and the
11:06 pm
german chancellor being her usual self exercised restraint like most evil leader she is in fear of a deal but has made clear it cannot come at all costs. fenby a acts appeared on the most important thing is that when we accept and acknowledge that the u.k. wants to go its own way with any clarity on how to react with the laws of the european union being increasingly different from those in the u.k. . it's tiny some could. also contributed all of the idea a future deal however difficult striking it may be is not yet completely off the table hope still lies on this man e.u. chief brant sadler go shader michaud daniel he was supposed to go to london on monday but it's unclear if that will happen. well that's not so to some of the other stories making news around the world according but lynne's overturned

11:08 pm
until the u.s. election president trump is back on the campaign trail in florida he spoke to c.b.s. i must win demographic in a must win state for republicans mr trump is trying to regain ground after losing support the recent weeks as polls put democratic challenger joe biden ahead in florida and nationally the president defended his handling of the coverage crisis with an upbeat message. i'm moving heaven and earth to safeguard our seniors from the china virus to deliver lifesaving therapies in record time and to distribute are safe and effective vaccine before the end of the year and we're really doing it even sure at the back to see what's going on and have vaccines getting ready to go seniors will be the 1st in line for the vaccine and we will soon be ending this pandemic well mr trump is now on his way to the southern states of the georgia t.w. correspondent and see if he is in the making in that state's waiting for him
11:09 pm
welcome i'm in prison trump one georgia easily back in 2016 why is he going back. that does a raise a lot of questions for his campaign why is he in georgia where he won so easily in 2016 well the answer might be and recent polls which show him neck and neck with joe biden now this is this would be unprecedented in the in recent history republicans haven't lost this state since 1902 and so this is putting some strain on the trump campaign. so he's coming here really to shore up his support in this state which is slowly perhaps becoming a swing state a lot of that has to do with demographic shifts more latino voters more african-american voters and early voting shows that people are coming out on mass especially black americans to vote against the long lines in atlanta and
11:10 pm
surrounding areas showed that there's a lot of enthusiasm against not necessarily for joe biden but against trump in this state and so what is the mood there do people feel the president has a good shot at a 2nd term. absolutely the people here that we've talked to are very confident that he's going to win this state they don't believe that this is going to be a swing state a lot of people said they don't believe the polls and it's true when a poll is neck and neck like that it's hard to say who's going to win of course the trump campaign because they came here seems to suggest that they are not as confident as trump's supporters but in the end supporters are enthusiastic enough and really get out to the polls here in georgia especially after this rally seeing that trump came out here to show that he cares about their vote this could have an effect on the election democratic challenger joe biden says mr president danger in his supporters by holding these mass rallies and not requiring people to wear face
11:11 pm
masks so is the pandemic and its management going to be a decisive factor in this election. that's right this is no mask required here at this rally we're outside right now but it there's not a lot of enthusiasm for wearing a mask and also because trump very recently said that there's no evidence that masks actually protect anybody from the virus which scientists disagree with there's even a sign on the way here that said warned people trump a super spreader event just ahead and newspapers local newspapers have been telling people to watch out for possible outbreaks because of this event here and joe biden has been very critical of that joe biden is not doing public events like this and has been critical of trump for not protecting people from the virus but like i said trump supporters don't seem to be worried about that. safe and the u.s.
11:12 pm
state of georgia thank you. pro-democracy protesters have clashed with police in the capital bangkok authorities say think it was a legal. constitutional challenge for the country's government and powerful monaco so far. taking cover using whatever they can find. a wall of police advances trying to clear the protesters out but they hold strong. around 2000 pro-democracy demonstrators gathered in bangkok's main shopping district in defiance of an emergency order that made the rally illegal. the government has been pushing us to the cliff and now we are on the edge so now we are we have no magical that we need to stand right now if not now then we don't know where they
11:13 pm
fight this thing is over for sure even and like doing this protest it just makes. the fire even though they are. demanding democratic reform of thai society where the government and marcie have unquestionable powers. the movement has long been calling for the resignation of this man prime minister prayed channel china and with his ministers laughing along in the background he proudly stated he isn't quitting. one of i've done wrong so that i have to resign it would protesters want the removal of china or to who took power in a $24.00 to a military coup because they say he manipulated last year's election to keep his hold on power. much of the dissent is also been directed at thailand's powerful monarchy challenging the royal family in thailand is to boot and can lead to hefty
11:14 pm
