5:04 pm
president to come along and says that's the end of that nobody has done more for the black community and. and if you look with the exception of abraham lincoln possible exception that claim that has been repeatedly challenged by critics as patently false nonetheless voters finally got something resembling a substantial debate but it may be too late to have a major impact on the election result a record number of americans have voted early and polls show most remaining voters had already decided how they'll fill in their ballot. oh i didn't use michelle stockman has been of course tracking this story for you great to have you here on the set michele what a difference is the 1st debate were there any knockout moments i mean who came out on top because well what both needed to do was to make their final pitch the american people of why they should be the president of the united states and so they needed to do that both in tone and substance so if we look at say president
5:05 pm
trump with his tone he was heavily criticized for making the last debate very fight interrupted and so he was disciplined at least at the start there were times when he really had some aggressive moments come out he hit joe biden over an alleged corruption scandal over his son hunter he went after him also over failures of the obama administration of which joe biden was a part of on issues such as immigration and again we talk about the substance that trump was trying to put out there he's trying to show voters who support him hey i'm a guy who came out i saw what i was going to do in immigration i got tough and i did it. i also really good with the economy for this because if the plague from china came over so i was a president who did what i said is going to do now critics would say well some of the ways you solve that in terms of immigration and separating children from their
5:06 pm
parents of the border create a whole other host of problems but again voters who support him would say ok he did what he said he's going to do if you look at biden. he also in tone and substance needed to be presidential he needed to be focused and disciplined unlike the man during joe biden he was at the town hall and in substance he really had trump part of the pandemic he really hit trump hard on racism in america he said you know basically trump is responsible for pouring gasoline on races fires in america and he came across as someone who said i'm going to bring america together i'm going to be a national healer and get us through these crises that we're in right now. i can't believe we're just 2 weeks away for the election but you know here we are did this debate move the needle did it change people's minds you know as the report said a lot of people are already decided america is a polarized nation so if we're talking about that crucial precious undecided voter you're going to have one person saying ok i'm looking at trump should i change
5:07 pm
horses right now well you know i'm looking around me i'm seeing my community more divided than ever i'm seeing black lives matter sign i've seen gloves matters signs i'm seen pandemic in my own community i'm worried about my kids they might look at what trump said he came across as pretty tone deaf in terms of the pandemic he said it's you know we're really solving it we're moving past it you might say really and also talking about immigration you might look at those children separated from their parents and say that was inhumane and cruel i think i might be ready to change horses or an undecided voter might look at biden and say democrats they're known for having big government i'm not sure i want that i'm going to stick with trump and let him get over this hump and get back focus on the economy michelle in the in the 20 seconds that we have left together just like that the debates are over it's crunch time now what's going to happen between now and november 3rd ok so what we're going to see is a lot of voting a lot of efforts for both campaigns to get out the vote and

one hand probably due to the fact that this conflict has just dragged on for nearly 3 decades without a viable solution it really determines people's lives at the same time i have to mention that freedom of expression freedom of opinion are in the massive pressure here in the country there is a lot of propaganda 'd most of the media or pro-government a lot a war reform or even that something we journalists here also understand and we also feel the effects of it we are not able to move around here independently we always have someone affiliated with. the government with us which limits what we can actually see so we only get to see what the authorities here in azerbaijan want to see and that limits what we can do and how far we can get to the truth prior to you johana reporting from bird to azerbaijan thank you. you're watching to tell you still to come. brazil's football legend spending turns 80 the

3 time world cup winning striker seen by many around the world as the greatest player of all time we'll hear how he's feeling on his birthday. but to chile now firster where this sunday millions of voters will make a decision that could dramatically we shape the country protests in recent years have forced to lay in leaders to schedule a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution a document the dates back to the rule of dictator augusto pinochet it's a man meant to say vote taking place in one of the regions richest nations but one struggling with spiraling inequality. the route she lays referendum went through this subway station. students mostly protesting a rise in fares. a heavy handed response from security personnel led to stunning scenes of mass protest in the streets of santiago and other chilean
5:19 pm
cities. dozens died during riots arson and looting that caused extensive damage and prompted a military presence on the streets. but the peaceful protesters persevered calling for an overhaul of she lays social and economic model and gaining a key demand a vote on whether to toss out the old magna carta the constitution adopted during the brutal 17 year dictatorship of general augusto pinochet which ended in 1998 a period when thousands were tortured killed or they were disappeared. this will be a historic event for the 1st time in the history of the republic we will be consulted on whether or not we want a new constitution and who should draft or. the subway stations were cleaned up after the demonstrations and rioting a year ago but emotions have been peaking again. peaceful anti-government demonstrations last sunday were marred by the burning of churches vandals cheering
5:20 pm
the collapse of a church spire not but those promoting a yes vote on a change to the constitution want their protests to be remembered for. anyone who comes out to look we're not going to change health care in the same pensions that's what we're fighting for for more than a year our pensions our wages or education everything but i don't see any change. after a year of the social upheaval i am out in the street because i want changes to our health system. in my lifetime. and the other side thousands have hit the streets to protest against change no they say to a rewrite of the constitution. by shifting to a new constitution we're in great danger of falling into something like what happened to venezuela if it happened to venezuela why would it happen to us. we'll keep the same constitution and make the necessary reforms to it. no voters insist the government working within the present constitution will help those left behind
5:21 pm
since the magna carta was adopted yes voters say start from scratch with the participation of the people and let the world see what chile and democracy 2.0 looks like. and have to provide some context is my colleague to be reporter benjamin of us gruber thank you so much for being here benjamin why are people so satisfied right now with how chile is being threatened they're not upset just right now these are problems there are for the last 2030 years so the crisis it was seeing right now was a long time coming the problems there you have to chile is praised in the region we saw it in the report rights praised for its ability for its institution but the big problem of the inequality when it comes for example to public health care when it comes to education when it comes to pension systems those are issues that were not addressed by politicians or not by governments and despite the fact that with hats . center right and center left governments these are issues that were not tackled
5:22 pm
and that's what people are so upset right now going to the streets also to demand real change so the current constitution that's now in place back from the time of the death of dictator augusto pinochet so is this a chance for tonight to hit the reset button it's a chance for a new framework as you sat at this constitution was drafted in 1980 so during the dictatorship it was drafted with the purpose of imposing of a stablish in a new political and economical system it was later and approved in a referendum but the problem with the referendum is there were no electoral reaches us and no free press and with this new framework it could be created now we could move from a state that has more like such a very state right now that lets the market regulate several things like education like health care and to create a new framework that could move also to the problems that need to be addressed here but of course it's important to note that the constitution alone will not change
5:23 pm
this situation of chileans a lot of free from that need to be done this exactly so we distil a need to do next i mean you've got this referendum now what other reforms need to be implemented the other reforms next to the constitution that should be for example in these different areas the big problem with the current constitution is not only the village timoci of origin that it was created during the dictatorship but it requires a really high quorum to make changes and the different reforms that need to be done close to that that i've mentioned already are for example also when it comes to security forces police we saw it in the report of more than 8500 of accusations of human rights violations that have been accredited and shown by several human rights organizations a lot of people are saying will this new constitution if it gets approved like most polls suggest bring peace to the country but there is no possible social peace longstanding social peace without justice to deter the report of benjamin the group thank you very much pleasure to have you here. prison half of all great telling
