break off. it's good to have you with this you as president joe biden's campaign is scrambling to continue the fallout from thursday's election to beat against donald trump. democrats had hoped that the showdown would dispel any doubts about biden's fitness to serve a 2nd term. well, in the last few hours today, by ruth has spoken again in an election really in north carolina. with a clear answer, if anyone did have any del, told the crowd that he intends to winning november, saying when you get knocked down, you get back up. but indeed, television debate last night, americans saw him deliver a stumbling performance and struggling to counter attacks and false claims that were hurled out in by donald trump. the 46 president of the united states jo by the president's loyal supporters blamed it on a bad night. a head cold set his campaign, but many americans,

especially those planning to vote for his challenger. donald trump saw in vitamin what they've seen for a long time. failure to get his point across under pressure. trump often appeared to struggle to understand by it and rather than to disagree with all those people, the idea that they're going to, i'm like, i'm proposing that everybody's a paper. so it's really, there's a one percent one percent so known and after i would not raise the cost of social security for anybody under $400000.00. after that, it began to make the wealthy began to pay their fair share and how much for his part, trump focused on voters pessimism about immigration and the economy and claim things were better when he was an officer. we have the greatest economy in the history of our country. we have never done so well. every, everybody was amazed by it. other countries were copying us from supporters were in high spirits after the debate. in the 1st 3 seconds when president

biden was speaking. my, i was what happened to his voice. he's staring into oblivion, and i've never heard so much mumbling. it was scary. some loyal bite and supporters were left looking for a silver lining, but calls immediately came for desperate measures, replacing biden with a more capable democratic candidate on the optics. and by the last that on the fact by one bit. so you have to determine what's more important. you object your thoughts and i'm big on the facts on still like buying one the debate for me. but i know he looked at ro bite and agreed to debate from much further ahead of the november election. then as usual, in order to drum up support for his campaign, but according to even some top democrats that plan seems to have backfire. i spoke with katherine at cooper ashbrook. she is a german american, political scientists and executives as president of the battles and the foundation . she gave me her thoughts on last night's debate, as well as was indeed

a short night. and it was a difficult night, i think, for anybody who is just interested in the house of american democracy in the future of the country to watch 2 men struggle to basically articulate facts. one who was lying 30 times according to the new york times you called it falls to it, i would call them live. and then the other, who really just struggle to get a sentence out to present, to do the one thing that he needed to do in this debate, which is the same, lucid, to seem energetic and to seem anywhere beyond his 81 years. and in that sense, we watched, i think almost a dual failure and others to get a better understanding of the state in which the united states finds itself and who might lead it into. the next phase in the fall out today has been for by the democrats not for trump and the republicans. i mean, we've got calls from within the democratic party now for by not to run for a 2nd term. and is, is that the reaction?

do you think that this is a proportional reaction to what happened last night as well? i think it just goes to show the anxiety in a race for which many of our conns cannot find sufficient passion to even consider coming out to vote rental your, our mind, you and the viewers that what we're talking about here is garnering the votes of 5 to 10000000 americans who are quote unquote, still on the fence and who are likely residing in swing states. and neither of those 2 men in that sense, deliberate, a convincing performance. but that's exactly who they were out to get yesterday. and you have a double risky strategy now to continue with this candidate, this agent candidate, clearly who seemed to struggle with everything, including formulating a simple sentence yesterday, but also running the risk that within 6 weeks ahead of the convention, you might be playing with the idea of either an open convention which we had last time in 1952 more in broker convention which we had in 1968. both of them by the

way, held in chicago. both of them ended in chaos and how you would position a new national can. did that wouldn't also look like you were perverting american democracy because 99 percent of those delegates that will show up in august in chicago branch knows our president biden's delegates. and how you would do that in a way that doesn't also hamper and hinder the functionality of democracy that is entirely unclear at this moment. so both ideas are risky, keeping joe biden on the ticket and trying to replace it and was 6 weeks ago in a convent. i mean, i, you know, i was struck to david tom friedman. i'm paul crewman, just in new york times writing saying that he should step down or that he should not run for a 2nd term. what's what's, what are your thoughts on this if what we saw last night with mr. bide, what about if it's not old age? what about if, if there's a medical conditions i've, i've heard some people say that maybe he's got parkinson's disease and if that's the case, okay, that's a disease but there is no mental problem there. um,

do you think that there's a fear that americans would not re elect a president to has parkinson's for exam as well? again, this is about signing those voters who are in such a tight and difficult election in such a polarized country and decided which is almost hard to believe that you have those voters in the united states of america today. but you do, and both of those call them this and others have called on dividing to do the patriotic thing to not mimic the supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, who held on to her supreme court role. and literally until the day that she died and demand that a conservative moved into the supreme court and with all the decisions that came with it. the only way, by the way, the fine by the look of the democratic party can photocopy removed from the top of the ticket, is if he himself decides. and one way would be under this idea that a president might be incapacitated to conduct his role in the office. those were

things that were put in the d. c. rollbook in 2016. and as a result, by the way of hillary clinton's spells painting, spells understand pain. so again, the decision and to keep running or not keep running is entirely 1st and foremost, jo biden's no matter what the pundits rate or as a columnist and then your times and the atlantic suggests that's a very good point and we've heard from bite and in the last couple of minutes in raleigh, north carolina, saying that he intends to you know, continue running into when again, so we will say kevin has been good talking with we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. any time, right. so what's today, the us supreme court ruled that hundreds of defendants were wrong. we prosecuted, excuse me, over the january 6 capital riot justice as rude. the charge of obstruction requires proof that the accused trying to destroy the evidence. only some of those allegedly involved in attacking the capitol fall into that category. the decision also cast

out on some charges faced by former president donald trump or it is a quick look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. people in mongolia and been voting for a new government, the mongolian people's part is expected to secure another term under the prime minister, looks like tom's right or young air deep. but there is growing frustration over corruption, the high cost of living and a lack of opportunities for young people in earth. quake has struck off the coast of peru, the quake hit south of the capital. lima authorities initially issued a c. nami alert. no debts have been reported. one person was killed when a roof collapsed at del e's in different gone. the international airport structure came down during heavy rain and high winds. flights were cancelled roll emergency crews cleared the debris. the 1st victim of kenya is deadly. anti government protests has been buried

a 19 year old motorbike taxi roy was shot twice during the demonstration on tuesday . the young active business become a focal point for the growing youth lead movement in kenya. it's challenging corruption in demanding a political overall. i, irena and have been voting for a new president to replace abraham, right. he said, you may remember he was killed in a helicopter crash last month. the voting has now been extended, the supreme leader, the ayatollah from an e, is calling for a high turnout. how many oversold the selection of the candidates that are on the ballot? the leading contenders are 3 hardliners and one reformist. many voters are angry about government action against protest. well, regional tensions are running high over the war in guns. after 3 years of the prime race, these hartline need to ship it on 61000000 borders. once again have

a choice. stewart, a bore economy, west infections, 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. many of 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 the to practically team of to bring the dirt at the last. how many totes do make power in eat on, but the 8 on and president sets domestic policy and has some influence over foreign policy. oh, sure. presidential candidates, usually ally confessed with a consultative supreme leader going but in an effort to gardner's support from

a public that's largely fields a unique and destructive site. the candidates have campaigned by public and criticizing the government. one of the presidential candidates is mohammed category above a former commander of the blue smitty guard. he has promised it audience to devise by going to me, which has been factored 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 in the staples, in such a way that your dinner table will never shrink. and that they're leading candidate is say deleting the drug. and so this is the former chief new peer the negotiator and wants to press the head with it onto long standing in the western policy the solar reform. this candidate is dr. masoud for the skin. he has been the most

critical voice against them. indeed, 3 who job and the morality police. he also favors engagement with the west. how long? 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 this under the human rights organizations, criticize the fitness of food on interactions and do worse than historically lower levels of what they're doing out remains a big challenge. in deflection estimate just really is a human rights lawyer and board member of the wrong human rights documentation center. i asked her if any of the exclusively mailed candidates, if any of stands for anything that could be considered women's rights as. yeah, i think this is an excellent question. there is a lot of discussion of these candidates. but the truth is that this election doesn't matter much in the end,

because really all the power is concentrated with the supreme leader of the company . and these candidates are not offering anything different that has happened in the decades prior. um, one thing to note is that the regime is very concerned about low voter turnout. and so they have allowed, possess key on these somewhat moderated candidate to also be part of this lineup. but he's not offering anything different in terms of change. in fact, he was somebody who was in power at the time that saw her that are causing me any ronnie and canadian photo journalist, a woman who is taking photos outside of every in prison, was torture. a key sort of over saw the medical examination of that that denied that. and so he has never been a champion of women. and i think that is really motivating a lot of young people to not vote as you're watching your news. i'll be back at the

top of the hour with more world news followed by the day. i hope to see you then the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day an in depth look at the current use events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is the weekdays on dw, the .
