thinks about women, what he does to women, and he has said that the video does not represent who he is. but i think it is clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. because we have seen this throughout the campaign. genie: for more on the debate, let's bring in philip crowther from st. louis, where the debate took place last night. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. we saw from the exchange that very tense debate between the two candidates. it was clear from the start when they did not even exchange the customary handshake. philip: quite the moment, that one. those who have seen more presidential debates than i have, almost all of them in modern times, said that was absolutely unprecedented. it really showed that i do not think the word is too strong --

the hatred between the two, in the second of three presidential debates, a large part of which was dedicated to personal attacks. and to attacks in turn from donald trump on not hillary clinton necessarily, but on her husband, former president bill clinton, who was in attendance in that debate room. donald trump brought with him to the debate four women, three of whom accused bill clinton of sexual aggression towards them. this was discussed -- rather, it was mentioned by donald trump in the debate. hillary clinton decided not to take the bait. these are allegations that have never been confirmed and have never gone to court, but it goes a long way to show how dirty this really was. these were two candidates with no holds barred who decided to be very personal in their attacks. the body language was pretty clear as well. they did not want anything to do with each other. but there was a handshake at the

end, at the end of i really ugly contest between the two. these two dislike each other more than ever. genie: it is true, and you could feel the mudslinging, you could hear the mudslinging as the debate went on. what was interesting about this debate compared to the one before was that this was in a town hall format with real voters getting a chance to ask questions about real issues. did the candidates say anything new, interesting about their policy? not necessarily anything new, but you might be surprised that there was actually policy discussed in the end, mainly thanks to the undecided voters who were in the debate room for it also from the st. louis area, still waiting to be convinced by one of these candidates.

let's look at some of those examples. a discussion, for example, about obamacare, the health care reform, that hillary clinton wants to maintain and improve upon. donald trump wanted to be gone altogether. foreign policy came up as well. hillary clinton being criticized, and also with the united states and libya, the conflict that hillary clinton was for. dozen, whoaround two mentioned donald trump's proposed ban of muslims in the united states by a woman who is a muslim. extreme vetting, as he says. one less subject matter, the war in syria may be the only moment where there was a tiny little

bit of agreement between the two . but because none of them had a clear plan of what the united states role might be in a potential in end to the war in syria. genie: philip, thanks for that. that is philip crowther reporting from st. louis. let's take a look now at another world news story for you today. haiti has begun three days of overnal mourning for the 1000 people now thought to have been killed by hurricane matthew , with the following outbreak of cholera. many of the dead are being buried in mass graves through that storm devastated much of southern haiti, with many areas still unreachable to rescuers. our correspondent reports. relief as the first batch of food aid lands in haiti. felt the the country full force of her hurricane matthew, leaving a wilderness in its wake. as many as 80% of the houses here were damaged.
