>> the campaign is selling stickers that say, i paid more income taxes that donald trump nbc's kelly o'donnell has more >> reporter: good morning, frances. president trump is disputing a developing story from the new york times that nbc news has not independently confirmed. that report says that in the year he was elected 2016, president trump paid $750 in federal tax. president trump refused to provide us with any specific figure for how much federal tax he actually paid and claims questions about his finances are simply resurfacing again right before the election. >> we've been negotiating for a long time. things get settled, like in the irs. but right now, when you're under audit, you don't do that so we're under audit >> can you tell us what you paid

in federal taxes >> i'm talking to him. you should be more respectful of this gentleman you're very rude to him. >> reporter: as the battle over the confirmation of amy coney barrett begins the president praised judge barrettdefended a rush to see her confirmed. >> i was very proud to nominate judge amy coney barrett to the united states supreme court. >> reporter: in delaware, joe biden defined the stakes for democrats. >> the clear focus is, this is about your health care >> reporter: biden read aloud a tweet sent by the president, claiming, obamacare will be replaced if it is terminated by the supreme court. biden broadened the threat he sees with barrett on the high court. >> women could lose roe v. wade for 50 years >> reporter: president trump argues the vacancy is his to fill >> in every single instance going back to george washington,

the president has performed his constitutional duty and nominated a justice. and in almost every one of these cases over the past 230 years, when the president and the senate were the same party, the justice, as you know, that justice was confirmed. >> reporter: biden urged republican senators to step back from the brink and let voters decide the court's direction >> just because you have the power to do something doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to do right by the american people.defending h supreme court nominee, president trump says amy coney barrett is being subjected to what he calls anti-catholic bias the president is defepdzing himself on these new reports related to his personal taxes. while the president says his returns remain under audit, that does not preclude him from releasing them publicly or providing figures to show how much tax he paid

>> kelly, thank you. the war against the coronavirus rages on sadly, the world is moving closer toward another morbid threshold of nearly 1 million lives lost the death toll is 997,000. the u.s. still in the lead with the highest number of deaths and cases with at least 25 states reporting an increased number of new covid-19 cases in new york, more than 1,000 people tested positive for the virus in a single day, marking for the first time since june the state has seen a number that high for more, we turn to our correspondent in london. hi, ralph, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right, the world drawing near and nearer that milestone of 1 million deaths worldwide and likely we'll hit that sometime today that's 1 million deaths from the coronavirus around the world in the last nine months as you said, the u.s. unfortunately is on top is

200,000 deaths that means the u.s. is accounting for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide, even though it's just 4% of the world's population you have brazil with 142,000 deaths you'll remember, the president there refusing to take the virus seriously, even as it led to such dramatic death numbers in his country. you then have india with 95,000 deaths, mexico with 76,000 and the uk with 42,000 and remember, that's just the official death toll. that's just where the official cause of death is covid-19 if you include unconfirmed numbers, it's likely went past that 1 million number some time ago. so can we avoid 2 million deaths can we step up our treatments of the virus? and crucially, can we get a vaccine up and running and distributed to a large percentage of the world's population philip, frances?

ended up in a neighboring apartment. his lawyer says he intends to plead not guilty no officers were causharged for taylor's death >> right now people are marching around the country because they don't trust the grand jury proceedings. >> reporter: while it was mostly peaceful in louisville, there were scenes of unrest in seattle and outside los angeles where a car plowed through a crowd of trump supporters in new york city, police clashed with demonstrators if you could say something to the attorney general, what would you say? >> we feel lied to there's not a day that goes by that, like, i don't think of her, like, you know, she was a huge part of all of our lives. >> reporter: a critical dispute in this case is whether officers announced themselves before they burst into taylor's apartment. >> the officer's statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness.

>> reporter: but kenneth walker, taylor's boyfriend, said they did not identify themselves. so do other neighbors at the scene. >> i heard the bangs, i heard the shooting, i heard everything i didn't hear no police or none of that. >> reporter: david james is louisville's metro council president and a former police officer. >> i think that's key to everything, because the question is, were the police legally there? >> reporter: kentucky attorney general daniel cameron says he won't release the transcript from the grand jury proceedings because of a pending fbi civil rights investigation as well as the ongoing criminal case against that one officer, frances. >> gabe, thank you meanwhile, another city battling its own civil unrest makes a historic move. the mayor of rochester named the first black female interim police chief ron singletary stepped down earlier this month
