prize which he shared with his prime minister bebegin and yassar arafat. >> the seeds of progress, the seeds of security, the seeds of peace. >> reporter: peres was appreciated more abroad than at home where his intellectual demeanor and suits and ties distanced himself from many israelis. he kept his energy and sense of humor to the end. when his term as president ended at age 91 he played along with the youtube joke. what on earth would he do next? working at a gas station. supermarket. the man who never rested finally passed away. >> that was in martin fletcher reporting. president obama, hillary clinton and other world leaders are

expected to attend his funeral which will be held on friday. it's official, alex, monday night's hatchup between hillary clinton and donald trump was the most watched presidential debate in history. nearly 84 million viewers tuned in to watch the event. topping the record set 36 years ago by the debate between president jimmy carter and challenger ronald reagan in the 1980. now clinton's campaign expressed confidence in her performance and in her preparation yesterday. according to aides the first thing she said after stepping off the stage was quote, wow, that sound exactly like felipe a reference to aide felipe long time aide who played trump during their mock debates. they say i not only won the forum but last night the big debate. the debate fold them on to the trial with clinton following full gull's suggestion trump should skip the other two because of unfair moderators.

>> madam secretary are you concerned that trump might skip the next two debates? >> well i'm going to show up. he gets to decide what he's going to do. i'll be there in st. louis and then after that in las vegas. if i'm the only person on stage, well, you know, i'm the loin person on stage. >> i watched her very carefully and i was also holding back. i didn't want to do anything to embarrass her. >> he made it very clear authenticate didn't prepare for that debate. you know, at one point he was kind of digging me for spending time off the campaign trail to get prepared. but just trying to keep track of everything he says took a lot of time and effort. as you can see hillary clinton returned to the trailly

debate. she did it in north carolina. as i said last night, last night, last night did anybody see that debate last night? oh, yes! one down, two to go. last night at the debate one of my guests was mark cuban. mark cuban who is a real billionaire, by the way, i'll leave it to the fact checkers to go through all of, all of donald trump's claims. there was a lot of work for fact checkers last night. he actually bragged about gaming the system to get out of paying his fair share of taxes. in fact, i think there's a

strong probability he hasn't paid federal taxes a lot of years. and i got to that point where i said well maybe he's paid zero. he said that makes him smart. now if not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make all the rest of us? >> vice president joe biden held a rally for hillary clinton in philadelphia yesterday and he too focused much of his speech on the presidential debate including donald trump's performance. >> he acknowledged he didn't pay taxes because he said it's -- he said it's because he's smart. makes him smart. tell that to the janitor in here who is paying taxes. tell that to your mothers and fathers who are breaking their

neck to send you here for paying their taxes. not really needed. it angers me. this is a guy who said and wants to be president that it was good business for him to see the housing market fail. what in the hell is he talking about? no, no, no. really. look i've been there for eight presidents, democrat and republican, i disagreed and i agreed. but every president i have served with, including the republicans has had a moral center about what it was to be an american. >> the former democratic national committee chairman howard dean is standing by his controversial tweet about the source of donald trump's sniffles throughout monday's night debate. he tweeted notice trump sniffling all the time. coke user? here's kate snow. >> here's the interesting

consolation. he sniffs during the presentation which is something that users do. he also has grandiosity which accompanies that problem. he has delusions. i'm not talking about being crazy. he told everybody it was smart not to pay taxes and then denied he said it after he said it, it's not he's delusionary, he thinks somehow he won't get caught. that is delusional. he has trouble with pressured speech. he interrupted hillary clinton 29 times. he couldn't keep himself together. look, at 70 years old he has a cocaine habit, probably not. but, you know, it's something that i think be interesting to ask him and see if he ever had a problem with that. >> trump's campaign responded by saying governor dean's comments was beyond the pale hanes no place in our important political discussion. on a night where millions of

americans were able to compare and contrast the policies of both candidates governor dean went straight to the gift and was nothing more than a sad distraction in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. former republican u.s. senator john warner who represented virginia for three decades will cross the aisle to endorse the democratic ticket at a rally with vice presidential nominee tim kaine. clinton received the support of the arizona republic, the newspaper's first endorsement of a democrat since its founding in 1890. this as a prominent critic of clinton joined the campaign, john h. sununu. he said he can bring bold change. two weeks ago sununu's son nearly won nomination for governor. hillary clinton is in new hampshire today with a high-profile supporter. form primary rival senator bernie sanders in an attempt to

this weekend. 42 democrats and 13 republicans voted against it. many democrats argue the bill is unfair because it includes money for louisiana flooding victims but not the flint water crisis. >> i'll stand up and pay for a disaster in a state represented by two republicans, louisiana. i hope they will stand up pay for a disaster in a state represented by two democrats. michigan. >> we keep hearing that their position is no flint, no floods. that certainly is an option worth discussing. >> the current funding measure includes more than $1 billion to fight the zika virus. the bill would extend government funding to december 9th. final passage of the spending bill is expected by friday when funding is set to expire. >> president obama announced his pick for the u.s. ambassador to cuba in more than 50 years.
