♪ brent: tonight, a political debate that could get the biggest tv audience in history. the first face-off between hillary clinton and donald trump. it is just a few hours away and is final preparations are made, the media circus has already rolled into the small new york down to the debate will take place. we will have a preview of trump versus clinton come around one. also coming up, world leaders gather in columbia as they gather to sign a historic treat -- peace treaty. and pointing the finger, india's

foreign minister accuses pakistan of supporting terror attacks in cashmere as demonstrators in the territory protest against indian rule. ♪ brent: it is good to have yo with us. tonight, a political he said she said is just hours away. millions of u.s. and around the world will to win in to follow the arguments as democratic candidate hillary clinton and republican candidates donald trump face off in their first presidential debate. we want to take a quick look at the milestones in the history of these tv debates. the first-ever televised presidential debate was back in 1960, watched by 70 million people at the time. the democrat john kennedy encountered republican richard nixon, who appeared to be tired

and even unshaven. viewers chose kennedy in the debate and at the about box. in 1980, nearly 80 million viewers tuned in to watch jimmy carter think on republican challenger ronald reagan. reagan overtook carter in the polls after the debate and he won the election. democrat barack obama and republican john mccain debated three times in 2008. these were the first debates that were streamed online. obama won all three and as we know, he won the popular vote as well. tonight, the first rule between hillary clinton and donald trump. -- duel between hillary clinton and donald trump. 75% of registered voters said they plan to watch. that would mean over 90 million viewers. if that happens it will be one of the most-watched tv events in history. i'm joined now by our correspondent in washington, he

is on the story tonight. good evening to you. as we have seen, nearly 100 million people could watch tonight's debate. could it change the decisions of the voters when it comes time to actually go to the about box -- the ballot box? >> i think so. it is going to have a huge impact on the election. 17% of registered voters said the debate could change their mind. it'll kind of beauty super bowl of politics. this is a much closer race that many anticipated. it is also a very close race in swing states, colorado, pennsylvania and florida. likely voters are split. 46% for hillary clinton and 44% for trump. they are basically neck and

neck. brent: what do each of the candidates have to do tonight to maximize their chances on election day? >> i think the bar is higher for hillary clinton than for donald trump. right now, 33% of voters say hillary clinton is honest and trustworthy while 62% say she is not. she has been in american politics for 30 years. will americans trust her now if they have not trusted her for such a long time? donald trump's major obstacle appears to be that many americans do not see him as qualified to be president. they are not sure ifhe has the right temperament to be president. 44% expect clinton to win tonight and 34% expect trump to come out ahead. brent: of course tonight, it is supposed to be about the issues.

what are the main issues go to be tonight in the debate? miodrag: i think the most important topic will be the economy. trump should have a lead on that one. topic number two will be national security. how to keep america and americans safe. hillary clinton may know more about this issue but trump will say that she has bad judgment. he will remind everybody that she was voting in favor of the iraq war and she was in favor of invading libya. both countries right now are failed states. just a mess. topic number three is unifying america. americans are divided like never before. brent: on the story forced tonight in washington, as always, thank you very much. now to the debate around the

role of the moderator. our correspondent spoke to a veteran of presidential campaigns, john of abc news's nightline. she asked him about the role of the moderator in presidential debates. here's that interview. reporter: there has never been a candidate like donald trump before. would you as a moderator do if he uses bad language or makes any racist or xena phobic remarks? >> my guess is he will try not to, but if he were to come i would depend on what the rules were. if it were established ahead of time that there were to be no personal attacks and no racist language, i would call him on it. otherwise will i would really want to see is hillary clinton calling him on it. i would really want to see the debaters debate with each other in th moderator debating with the candidates. reporter: what if he really tells lies and hillary clinton does not react to it?

does the moderator have to become the truth referee? >> it is a very tough position to put the moderator in. my goal would be to get hillary clinton to correct -- i would say to secretary clinton, donald trump to said this, you going to let this pass? if she does not get the message that she is supposed to step up and let the past, that she should lose the debate at that point. the problem with the moderator correcting the candidate is that what if the candidate disagrees with the correction and starts arguing with the moderator? thank you very much see that happening, then you have a three-way debate. that is all because the whole set up is cooked for failure as a debate. i do not actually consider what we do in the stages debates. they are more like side-by-side press conferences were side-by-side interviews. if you are doing an interview, yes, you do push back when

someone tells a lie. but in a debate is not so clear. reporter: isn't it not such a bad idea for donald trump to have no moderator? >> he was saying it because he thinks the moderator will be biased against them. i do not think that will be a problem. the moderators will be so above reproach that it will not be a problem. but it is not such a crazy idea to have debates without a moderator. all across the country there are high school debaters having debates today, probably, very effectively without a moderator. but the rules make a clear that is how it is just post the work. -- that is supposed to work. the first one, the ratings will be highest, the audience will be largest. this is the first time we will see these people stand within six feet of each other. they do not like each other, there is a lot of intensity to that. that would just not be the same the second or third timeout. reporter: thank you very much.

brent: in around two hours, the colombian government is set to sign a peace deal with rebels, bringing an end to over 50 years of fighting. world leaders are in the coastal city of targeted to witness the signing ceremony. more than 2500 guests invited haven't asked to wear white as a sign of -- have been asked to wear white as a sign of peace. the colombian people need to give their approval in a referendum on sunday. our correspondent is in columbia for us on the story this evening. good afternoon to you. the politicians, they want this deal. the people, they get their say on sunday. is it likely to pass? >> good afternoon. yes, i think we have recent polls showing most colombians

support the deal. the event will take place two hours from now. it will help the cause and help the peace deal to get more into colombian society. we have a majority now and i think after this historic signature of today, it will tterepted by colombians. brent: there have been critics of the deal. what are their arguments? >> the main critic is this deal shows a lot of impunity swords fighter -- towards fighters. they are mainly going to get out of their fight and return completely unpunished. they also criticized they will have certain political representatives in -- political

representation in congress. all of that is said by critics of this deal. brent: the supporters, how do they counter that? what do they say about those criticisms? eduardo: they respond to that and i think a very logical way. the deal is not perfect. you need a different figure in law to come along with the crimes of the past. there is a figure of the transitional law which says as long as the rebels, as long as they admit the crimes and they are not against humanity, they will not see a prison from inside. the deal is to make peace possible. it is not complete, but at least it is a deal.

colombians took over 50 years to get to this point. brent: on the story for us in colombia, eduardo, thank you very much. in nigeria, the united nations has warned of an -- an impending mandatory in crisis. government forces are finding people living in near-famine conditions. the northeastern city, many of the victims are coming forward in search of help. eight organizations are doing what they can multitask they say is overwhelming. reporter: his life hangs by a thread. he could still die of starvation. his mother barely escaped a boko haram attack. a docts without borders team is taking care of these now there's children. there are many of them and more

arrive each day. >> the disease we see in the icu is related to pneumonia, malaria. reporter: these conditions often result in death. not least because eight organizations cannot treat all the effects of the crisis spawned by boko haram. the brutality of the islamists has displaced 2.6 million people. thousands have such shelter. there is a shortage of everything. but at least we are alive, says this 12-year-old. her village was stormed by boko haram militia. >> my uncle and i tried to flee but the boko haram fighters saw and followed us on their

motorbikes. they caught my uncle but i got away. reporter: the islamist killed by -- killed her uncle. but she found her grandfather in the cap. for more than seven years, boko haram has terrorize the people of northeastern nigeria. the army proved ineffective against the jihadists. but under a new government and supported by neighboring states, it has recaptured territory from boko haram. but residents now daring to leave their hiding places reveal a whole new disaster. the united nations estimates 65,000 people here are threatened by starvation. the outside world has not responded and eight groups are sounding the alarm. they need much more support. brent: we're going to take a short break. when we come back, more news.

we back in 60 seconds. ♪

♪ brent: welcome back live from berlin. the kashmir conflict is out of story. it has been running for decades and has been the cause of two wars. the stems largely from a division of colonial india and independence back in 1947. most of the 10 million people in cashmere are muslims. where the main reasons behind pakistan's claim. the territory's ruler was hindu and he opted for indian rule. after the first indo pakistani war in 1949, of control was set up, dividing

kashimir into two sectors. 60 years of conflict caused -- more than 60,000 people died with both sides accuse of abuses. in recent monster has been further unrest after indian security forces killed a key rebel leader. muslims across the region came out in protest and the indian government imposed a curfew. earlier today at the u.n. general assembly in new york, india's foreign minister accused pakistan of complicity in cross-border terrorist attacks in kashmir. here's more. >> pakistan remains in denial. it persists in the belief that attacks will enable it to obtain territories incorrectly.

my firm advice to pakistan is abandoned this dream. -- abandon this dream. let me unequivocally state that kashmir is an integral part of india and will always remain so. brent: earlier we spoke with a man who comments on any his affairs. we asked him whether this dispute is so entranced that the adversaries need international mediation. >> i think if you go by the records of the united nation's security council to see clear resolutions sanctioned by all leading powers, which basically obligates india to fulfill its responsibility to kashmir, fulfill the promise, and all these resolutions place several

limitations on the way india can conduct -- is resolutions have actually accepted india as the aggressor. this is the sheer record with availability of the united nations and what if our minister -- what before minister has said. the resolutions blatant violation as well as lies, i would say. if we were to accept the u.n. resolutions as a yardstick for international disputes. the tendency is to equate individual groups or individuals act of terrorism coming from the state of pakistan, which of course is extremely questionable. pakistan has been and was in the past but i do not think that is the case anymore. right now it is more oppression with the warlords.

more than 100 people killed in the last two months or so. the one good way of deflecting attention from the indian part of kashmir to terrorism that india claims is being perpetrated by pakistan. whereas pakistan itself has seen enormous number of terrorist attacks in the last several years, losing more than 60,000 people. brent: that was our correspondent reporting from islamabad. it is time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines. the former german spy has gone on trial on charges of tax evasion. he is accused of stashing millions in offshore accounts well on missions for the german government. the alleged deception was exposed when tax officials bought a cd containing secret account records from an informer at a swiss bank.

the president of venice has taken to its famous canals to protest against the tourism industry. protesters blame tourists for driving up because of rent and basic necessities beyond the means of everyday venetians. time for business news. deutsche bank shares plummeting. their lowest levels since the 1980's? >> exactly. it was not a good day for deutsche bank. germany's biggest lender was the biggest loser on the frankfurt stock exchange this monday. a massive fine is raising questions about its future. the state does not sound like it is willing to step in. reporter: many analysts here at the frank for stock exchange are wondering whether germany's largest bank will be able to pay the billions of euros it faces in looming legal fines. deutsche bank has been asked by u.s. authorities to pay $14

billion to settle allegations of miss selling mortgage securities. that is more than twice the amount that deutsche had set aside for litigation and is just one of the ft bills raising questions about the bank's future. on the trading floor, everyone knows that deutsche is also facing other potentially -- inquiries into billions of dollars of funds transferred out of sanctioned russia monday's selloff of bush's shares also spread to other german banks, with all lenders in the bank index in the red. deutsche bank has said it will not pay anywhere near the threatened fine, which is close to the bank's total market capitalization of $18 billion. a bank spokesman says negotiations with the u.s. are only just beginning. he added that a capital increase is not necessary at the moment and that deutsche bank will resolve his challenges on its own. fanny: time to turn to wall

street. really, not a good day for the german stock deutsche bank. but also financial stocks in the u.s. are tanking. what is wall street making out of all this today? jose: for now, there is some concern around investors about what the future holds for deutsche bank. that is why the u.s. financial sector lost over 1% on monday. the imf already ran the alarm a couple months ago by saying the global -- german bank runs the greatest risk to the global economy. deutsche bank is the riskiest bank in the world. the fact that they bank could happening -- could end up paying $13 billion is taking a toll on confidence. most analysts write out think

the bank will have to raise more capital, something that will be difficult with the lack of trust. fanny: the other big story unfolding in the u.s., all eyes will be on the first presidential debate between donald trump in hillary clinton. what is the financial community making out of this? jose: fanny, with the federal reserve and interest rate hike off the table until november, investors and traders are focusing on the presidential elections and the debate. they are raising the possibility of a trump victory, that is why we are seeing how investors are fleeing to safe havens. they sense that clinton's lead remains a slim or worsens, -- it will create a lot of volatility in the markets for the next couple weeks. fanny: we will see the results

after tonight's debate. thank you very much for your analysis. the state of the japanese economy is a long way from where the prime minister would like to see it. but his signature economics program is still popular with voters, largely because he sells it well. it should come thanks to the transpacific partnership. reporter: the eyes of the world are on hillary clinton and donald trump these days, both contenders for the white house have denounced trade deals. trump thing from day one. as are clinton, she once called the transpacific partnership agreement the gold standard for trade agreements, but later disavowed it. then, here's one man who strongly supports tpp -- jens o abbe, the japanese prime

minister. it expects the agreement to boost the economy. >> an early entry into the tpp is a big opportunity. we want to sell to the world of japanese agricultural, for a street and fish products that are safe and good in to be able to be evaluated as having good, quality products. we aim for productivity that is not inferior to international standards and support the scale of agriculture of businesses. reporter: tpp is set to strengthen the economic ties between 12 countries on the pacific rim, including the united states, ethical, australia and japan. but excluding china. it will comprise 40% of trade worldwide. abe is pressing for japan's parliament to ratify the deal as soon as possible, not least to avoid the risk of having to renegotiate it with new leadership in the u.s., japan's
