the, the, you're watching the, the unit was going to live from berlin, joe biden, and donald trump go head to head in the 1st and us presidential debates. that's why you had no chair at all during my administration. if we finally beat medicare, 90 minutes of insults from false thoughts and a faltering performance of from joe biden, that is causing alarm for democrats. also coming up on the show, you leaders endorsed or so the thunder lion for a 2nd term as commission president. for the confirmation vote in the european parliament quoted, the close iranians go to the polls to elect

a new president after the death of abraham. right, you see last month one reform this candidate is up against 3 hardliners. we will hear about his chances. plus a special report on turkey is ban on pride marches. and how the queer community fears the government's crack down and quote, it gets even worse. the empire richardson welcome joe biden. and donald trump faced off at the 1st presidential debate ahead of november's elections. it was a heated showdown between the 2 oles, as the presidential candidates ever with each man accusing the other of being unfit for office. by dint often stumbled in his answers and his voice was raspy. well, trump repeatedly ignore the moderator's questions and made false statements. here's an example from last night's exchange. we put the covert,

excuse me with dealing with everything we have to do with a to work if we finally b, medicare, take you president and president trump who is right. he did beat medicaid beat it to death on the to do the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum of present drunk. i really don't know what he says at the end of this is i don't think he knows what he said. either. look, he doesn't use benjamin abra squared work half of the debate from washington d. c. i asked him if biden's performance would re assure voters that he has up to the job. not really well, president barton himself thinks he did well in the debate. many spotty. see that differently. it was it biden's most important jobs to put to rest, voters concerns about his age, but he definitely felt it to do so. he fumbled on many topics, some of them very important. and for the democrats and issues elections like

abortion. well, some analysts said that this debate sent shock waves through the democratic party. the debate organize us is cnn chose the following title. on his own page, it reads, and i quoted biden's poor showing and trumps repeated falls. so it's and the fact that the general focus and discussion right now is name on the 1st part of the titles and not the 2nd part is already a huge window for donald trump. so what do american voters make out of all this? our team and washington got some reactions from democrats and republicans after the debate. the oh, i think the democratic party is going is red alarm at the democratic convention for sure. i don't know if they're going to keep president biden as their candidate. i

think this was a disaster for him. from the moment it started to the moment he was a disaster to nobody's rosy bar tried, has the reaction from brussels to the us presidential debates as well. when joe biden was 1st selected as president a few years ago, you could almost hear sighs of relief from european leaders all the way across the atlantic. this morning here in europe, i think it's much more of a sense of a really sharp nervous intake of breath. and not just because you leaders have been through donald trump presidency before and for them. i think this one word to somebody, and that is unpredictable. there were all sorts of strange transatlantic relations under total trump, including, for example, and trade ties with the possibility of a 2nd donald trump presidency looming. you leaders are really having to think about concerns around, for example, their own defense and security, something of which they've traditionally relied on the us. and so much so that

there's been one word on the lips of different lots here in europe for the last few months. and not as being trump proofing. there are measures underway in europe to try and boost european autonomy to not be at the mercy of the frames of what could be unpredictable precedent till 5 and on the other hand is very much seen as a known quantity predictable. certainly in his foreign policy, at least. so what do we do is i think we'll have quite a lot of nervous months ahead. they were already in tulsa willing stay night here in brussels. so this morning, very little to help them sleep silently until those crowds criminal critical us alexis later this year. and is there consensus on that? is there support for joe biden, among most or all you leaders as well? i think it's important to say what the leaders would say officially is that this is a choice for the american people that it's not up to them to comment on who americans should vote for. but i think it's clear to say that most new leaders are

very much wary over 2nd donald trump presidency. whether it's because of their concerns about what that mean for what might mean for the rule of law, for example, or what it might mean for their own defense. but there is key outlier, and that is how gary and pregnant is through victor, oregon. he is often at odds with the rest of his fellow leaders on, on base to he is very much has to be in the past stridently, pro trump, so not for the 1st time. there is somewhat of a division among the leaders on this topic. thank you. so much that is our correspondent, rosie bernhard and brussels. and we can bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines, one person is dead and several others wounded after part of the roof collapsed at dudley's indira gandhi international airport. the roof outside of departure hall came down after heavy rain and high winds. flights leaving the terminal were cancelled while rescue crews cleared the debris. and an earthquake has struck off the coast of southern peru in the region of r. a keeper. authorities issued

a sonoma the alerts, but later rescinded it so far. no reports of any fatalities to and brussels and your waiters have met to nominate candidates for the blocks top positions. they've endorsed ortho left, underlined for a 2nd term as president of the european commission. so as tony and prime minister kaya colors is likely to become use next, foreign policy chief and former portuguese prime minister, antonio crushed has been appointed as new head of because europe and council was left underlying later thank the leaders for their backend and what plane and simply like to express my gratitude to the leaders when doors to my unknown, the nation for a 2nd mandate as president of the european commission. for me, this means that i now will seek confirmation from the european parliament on my appointment. after presenting my political guidelines for the next 5 years, so there is another step to do on the way forward. thank you. and do you have these

jack parrot cause this update for us? a, a big success for the european commission president, sort of on the lions. she's done a big campaign to get this nomination and it's been approved. the leaders did approve it, the italian prime minister. we know abstained, don't georgia maloney in the vote. the signal was some complications between the 2 of them going forward. we also know that kaya call us the stony and prime minister has been nominated as the foreign policy chief for the next 5 years. i post us live on the line and kind of call us they will have to be approved by a majority in the european parliament that will be done in the secret ballot. so well, they can carry you favor with that political groups and the political backing of the coalition that is expected to box them. some of those made to send. so they'll need to make sure that they can get that vote over the line. it will come in the next couple of months, antonio cost or the full months, portuguese prime minister. however, he gets his job as the you kind of so president,

he only needs the latest to approve that and they did it by a majority. so he, in december, we'll take his positions. what's interesting in this, when we look at what the priorities of the you going forward will be with us sort of underlying, that is how we can expect to try to continue this speedy process for you. crane's become any you member state that she has got going. we also know that that will be a defense and security portfolio we expect in the next your a p and commission has never been that before. she will try and make that in her image as your little so press for her green deal to get back on track off to the last year or so. there's been shipping away of the sort of green. i'm visions of it that she had put in place that will be high priority going forward. it wasn't a big surprise that it was large. the expect to that these names would come. i mean, i broadly know what we expect the use the to ship to look for. look like for the next 5 years. and poles have opened in iran for

a special election to replace the late president abraham ra. you see who was killed in a helicopter crash last month, around supreme leader. seeing here as cast his vote, ayatollah how many days the highest authority in the country, and had broad control over selecting the 4 candidates were running for president. he's called for a high turn out for the sake of the country's reputation and the vote for new political leadership in iran comes from a domestic anger over a government crackdown on protests and tensions with israel. after 3 years of the brain, raise these hearts and i need to ship it on 61000000 more does once again have a choice toward a poor economy, western sanctions and women's rights among the most pressing issues. right. so you put in a lot of effort for the economy, but on the ground things didn't change much for the general public. and people were not happy to help us when the,

the time of the election the he job will be taken seriously. but when the vote is the things we'll go back to the way they was, the young people are not allowed to remove that head scarves. it's a to practically team of to bring the, the deluxe. how many totes do, make follower in eat? on the 8 on your president sets domestic policy and has some influence over foreign policy. oh, sure. presidential candidates, usually ally confessed with a consultative supreme leader. but in an effort to gardner support from a public that largely feels a unique and destructive site. the candidates have campaign rights publicly criticizing the government as one of the presidential candidates, is mohammed kazi, buff, a former commander of the blue city. god. he has promised it audience to devise by going to me, which has been back to it by rest infections. we will definitely compensate for the

gap between the inflation rates and wages, by raising your wages and providing you with necessary goods and staples in such a way that your dinner table will never shrink. and at their leading candidate is se deleting. the drug. conservative is the former chief new peer deal negotiator and wants to press the head with it on long threatening and d, western policy disorders reform. this candidate is dr. mas to for the scan. he has been the most critical voice against them. indeed, 3 hid job and the morality police. he also favors engagement with the west. how long the by the way, we can talk to each other. we can also learn to talk to our neighbors and the rest of the world. and then we kind of fight everyone we shouldn't find, we should not show aggression to others on the some of the human rights

organizations criticize the fitness of food on indications and the worst thing historically lower levels of what we're doing now remains a big challenge in deflection as well. sorry, above the bond is a research fellow at the german institute for global into area studies. i asked her, which of the candidates has the best chance of becoming the next president of iran? to thank you for having me. the short answer to that is that nobody really knows the direction it's been the vetting process has been extremely in to me, yet it's the experience of previous elections showed that the state to me, ron has adopted a series of troy, an arrow strategies to engineer and to manipulate presidential election a 2009 crisis showed that the regime when it comes to tolerate seeing a certain voice, it's within that society it's, it's a quite harsh and quite on accepting in 2000. and 13 election was

also another indicator that when the regime finds itself in a very complicates it's an international crisis, maybe puts a so called programmatic face to that, to the front of, of the administration to face with the international community, especially with us this time around we don't really know what exactly is the overall strategy, but i would imagine that somebody like position on um and his views are less on the rates, it's from within the deep states. and specifically the office of supreme me the past that me, he may have been thrown into pulled off the nominees because he has the capacity to drum up some supports and encourage people to go to the ballot boxes, which is the most important issue in this election but ultimately i think somebody may be like ali boss is the more desirable candidates because he, because of his,

a security on his military background. and you know, that has been room is that he has been consider it as a candidates that can handle the transition of the supreme the does power to the, to his success. that because apparently there is quite old. it might be the case that during the 1st presidency of whoever wins this uh, valid xbox. uh, that would be a transition of power and somebody like, uh, ali optics or the boxes in order to control the older end and uh, business as usual in the realm for that transition. and would this be one of the main roles that the president would have and, and just to put a finer point on it, could you give us some context about how important it is? who becomes president, given that the highest authority in the running system is the supreme leader has i think, domestically and internationally. um, there is very little hope that anybody in the positional policy would be capable of shaking them, moving things and changing a rounds overall strategy. again,

because of what you're exactly right, the mentions the extreme control of supreme data over size of the country. i'm and that has been a bit to know. for example, somebody like, uh, present bro, honie a puts of somebody like, well, how much of us are if in the foreign ministry? sorry. what's the smiley face who wins and eloquently spoke in the language of the world? caught the j. scipio idea, but then ultimately he went back off to his, he was, his term in office was ended, and he gave an extensive interview and said that basically, i wasn't the decision maker. i was just doing merely what i was told. so we have been the and done that, and we have seen that the president and administration, i buried the hotel boat if there was a coincidence between this time of the president and the transition of power up to the next to prove that that would be the crucial point for the next president. and

so how much then these issues that we also heard about the iranian voters are concerned with the economic crisis, restrictions on civil liberties, women's rights, these kinds of things. how much do they play in the selection? i'm yes it's, it's all for us at the end of the election campaign, the candidates make most likely make promises that there is very little chance that there would be deliver it. it's the same many, ron, it's the same in various parts of the parts of the world. an issue of his job issue of economic pressure as always, being used by all the presidential candidates from the time of ideas off. for example, in early 2000, he came out in the 1st election campaign and his 1st time and said, well, our problem is not really women so dropped. but then when he came to the office, he strengthens. and he fun that he extended the morales, the so called morality police that were on the streets of the country harassing

women. so these promises have been given before, but there is very little stop and not very little willingness to actually implemented meant to deliver them. they are mainly just to drum up support, as i mentioned then bring people to the ballot box. economic situation also is the same thing and if people have been on there are lots of economic pressure. there is very little that any government, any round could do unless they normalize their relationships with the international community and as long as they don't have the power to do that economic situation, but remain the same. sorry, thank you so much for your analysis there. that is, as our advisor randy research fellow at the giga institute are now millions will be marching and pride parades around the world this weekend, but not in turkey. where over the past decade, pride marchers have been systematically, bands, president wretched type are the one has vilified gay and trans people. and now many in the queer community fair things could get even worse to w is usually a 100 reports. it's too early in the evening and available is by is

preparing for his best guess. she runs one of the few remaining quin nightclubs in east a safe space as she calls like everyone can be who they want to be. the be q community has never had it easy in turkey. the recently many has felt increasingly targeted, tells me if they didn't give you again, if you conway what you want, you constantly have you buy into a sexual orientation. look or in front of find the help of, i don't social media, there are people who attacked you. inquiry, you applied to a free, a constant means still fear in you. they want you to be afraid. nicole k us will let us look like long as i still lives out town for years now, i know has seen growing hostility to who to the community. although homosexuality is not a needle in turkey,

authorities of band product demonstrations and major cities since 2015. those has to take to the streets, risk police, violence and detention. once again this year or forward, he's have fans be a simple pride much and the police all preparing for a major operation. barricades like these already for use all over the city center. the message is clear, protests won't be tolerated, reprice bite on the snow, even forbidden to wave of pride flags, a rainbow flag cut to get as many people have left the country and recent his whole crew because they as good talk to the cop co. everything has become pitch black for us, cut off, and it's clear that the future will be talking to close to total. that is frightening on basically what quotes to that is. president ridge of tire of ad one and his rooting it slow me conservative. a k potty has toughened their stems against eligibility to people in recent years. supp good. the supper of these

groups were the biggest supporters of deviant and perverted behaviors. and to fundamentally undermine our social structure. sure. can you probably understand what i'm talking about l g b t j. same is we will not allow them to corrupt our judges. for ad on homosexuality is a threat to for additional family values. he insist that marriage can only be between a man and a woman and says women should have multiple children to build the nation. and this conservative face to move neighborhood many share these views and some even feel encouraged to say so open to some sort of an a button and someone from in his lot mac perspective, it's forbidden. no, no, no more. as soon as i'm personally, i don't want our young people that are children to see that often was not. that's why i'm against county be to the cottage senior living, give it to the guy, but i support them. i don't see any problems. i have very good friends who are gay, almost all you know and doesn't work that way. how can 2 women or 2 men be together?

that can't happen. old mazda 100 c, attitudes that are both by and her friends are repeatedly confronted with. but they don't want to hide despite everything, we're still here. we're still standing to and we will continue to resist and speak out here with the dream of a turkey that is tolerant. does this, when everyone is accepted just as they are. and we can take a quick look now at some of the world news headlines for you. south korea has released footage. it says it shows a north korean missile exploding mid flight. john gang has claimed wednesdays, a test launch of an alleged hypersonic missile was a success the launch believe to have been in response to military drills involving the united states, south korea and japan. several people are dead and several others injured after
