protesters and thai police got into a violent confrontation three months into the making. the mostly peaceful demonstration started in july, but for the second day thousands ignored the risk of arrest under an emergency decree issued the day before. a promising announcement just after the violence began, authorities began using everything at their disposal to stop the protest, including a water cannon with a birding agent laced with water. the protesters are diminishing -- demanding a as form and resignation of the cabinet. -- >> as you are all aware of the situation, the government must use the emergency decree. the situation has become violent with some things that have never happened before. reporter: protests started like the other two peaceful protest earlier in the week. its location was changed at the last minute to get views forces. they continued their call for

not far from the scene where he was killed. police say it was just last week this teacher had actually taken a bunch of students and he had been teaching them about freedom of expression, freedom of speech . it had been a class and what he had shown as part of it was the front of the charlie hebdo newspaper that had cartoons of the prophet muhammad. what police are saying is they believe the contact is a link to the fact that this teacher showed those cartoons. police have a little bit more information about the attacker. he was born in 2002, only 18 years old. he was born in moscow. host: two weeks ago, the french president said islam is in crisis. she gave a speech about renewed efforts to push religion out of education and the public sector in france. during the interest, he said islam is a religion in crisis

tension and society. host: that is an important point to make. president macron responded very quickly today is the victim was murdered in an attack. a few weeks ago, that talked about is being in crisis around the world. how controversial were those -- will those comments be for muslims in france? guest: this is something people have to watch. there is something bad today in the relationship, not with the whole community. he talked about separatism. this means people that want to live in the weight french people usually live -- way french people usually live, he is stressing that point because it is something that has to be stressed on a political basis. what happened today is something that was different. he came to this crime site very

quickly. last time when things were happening around charlie hebdo, about two weeks ago when these people were stabbed, people were talking to them like she did not come there comic he did not talk about it, even sweet about it. something is happening about that tension. it is something you need to understand, something very tense around the issue that is to be treated.

u.s. president donald trump is out campaigning and states he won in 2016. he has on his way to georgia to address supporters. drug held a rally in florida earlier where he reached out to senior citizens and democratic nominee joe biden is campaigning in detroit during another campaign stop in michigan. he spoke about health care and attacked president trump's handling of the pandemic. with three weeks to go before election day, huge numbers of voters have already made their choice. more than 22 million americans have cast early ballots. they contributed at least in part two people keeping want to stay away from large crowds. with several states and cutting battlegrounds like wisconsin, michigan, florida avenue already passed 20% of their total 2016 vote. a political data firm says more democratic party supporters are

voting early well among republicans voting is down compared to this time in 2016. -- joins us live from washington, d.c. both trump and biden are back on the campaign trail. the big story is about the sheer numbers of people voting early. tell us about what is happening. reporter: it is remarkable. you mentioned that figure, 22 million americans have already voted and -- i had this election. it is a record one at this stage in an election. in total, just over 130 million americans cast a vote. as you mentioned, perhaps at these increased numbers result from the fact people do not want to vote in person because of covid-19, but there may be another element to it as well and that is more people are voting. this is an absolutely critical issue. democrats have been arguing very

strongly that mythical drug base is composed of people who will go out and vote. democratic candidates in the past have had the support but then have been let down in the polls. the more people that vote, the more likely a democratic victory, so these numbers are exceedingly significant. an absolute battleground states like texas and georgia, which will be critical to victory, there are record numbers of votes already cast in those states. this is very significant and most experts contend it is very good news for joe biden. host: last night we saw those rival town hall event square presidential debate. how useful were they to voters and is it likely to give anyone a bump in the polls? reporter: the one thing that was very interesting about them is nielsen ratings, the gold standard of television ratings indicated that more people watch joe biden, some 14 million

voters then watch donald trump, just around 13 million viewers. this is significant because in the past donald trump has drawn higher ratings because of his shock value, if one could put it kindly. joe biden people got what they would've expected, a moderate, sane, very clear view based on policy, addressing issues directly, a very impressive performance according to most observers. donald trump, you got what one would have expected, argument, anger, repeating a claim that a mess do not prevent -- masks do not prevent covid, going into conspiracy theories. it was classic donald trump. leading into 2016, it worked for him. that shock value was away no politician had behaved before and that did serve him well at the polls.

now it would appear given all these figures and statistics is that there is a movement, a shift toward a would-be president who is moderate, balanced, who addresses policy issues and does not get angry, does not attempt to divide. all of these issues are rolling together. what served at donald trump very well in 2016 may not be serving him well at this time. all indications are that joe biden is willing very successfully at this .18 days before the election. host: mike, thank you. time for an official break. when we come back about keeping up the pressure. thousands are gathering into they ahead of protests --chile that rocked -- as protesters widen their demands. more on that. stay with us. ♪
