it's quite literally government in hindsight.mposed local restrictions in some areas, but infections had continued to rise. the prime minister defended his government's actions and attacked labour's position. what we are doing is a combination of national and local measures which one week, mr speaker, he comes to this house and supports. and the next week mysteriously, he decides to whisk his support away. and he cannot even be bothered to mobilise his own benches to support something as fundamental as the rule of six which he himself said only three weeks ago that he supported. he cannot continue to have it both ways. does he support the rule of six — yes or no? yes. shouting. but the government... shouting. yes. but if the prime minister can't see and hear local communities when they say the infection rate has gone up tenfold under restrictions and he doesn't realise that's a problem, then that is part of the problem. mr speaker, there is a further cause of anger. prime minister, if you actually listen to the question, we might

had a very bad crisis, and most democratically elected leaders have because they can't do right in hindsightp because whatever governments do prove to be wrong. follow the sites. but now it's 107,000, and they can't but now it's107,000, and they can't do right. emmanuel macron is caught right in the middle of this. that will imply some sort of bad news coming down the pipe tomorrow night to the french people. he does talk in the article about if you put the big cities, if he does something in lockdown. france has a real problem like britain, and it's the big cities and different communities in those cities in different ways. including spain as well. let's move on to the new york times. it's interesting how they put europe together, outbreaks in europe put bra kes together, outbreaks in europe put brakes on economy. all those members in the eurozone, talking about not getting any recovery until 2022. this is

a family and in didn't it was a pretty convergence at 1st but then it's been slowed down and in hindsight maybe there are some things once was done differently including for example to pull such a focus on industrial jobs manufacturing jobs wired and same time everywhere else and manufacturing jobs were lining well in the u.s. so are you here countries who are trying to swim against the stream to speak by recreating a little bit germany in the east. perhaps we should also. form was less on the run high but of course at the time if you mention in the contribution their usual unemployment was very high so essentially firms are subsidized in the arm and of course that we use is called activity and hence may ultimately explain the difference in terms of the income. but how we moving in the right direction now we see unemployment in the east and west starting to converge there with you using is there a brighter future for this. well it's actually before the crisis we were in full employment in germany where they ceased all west yes unemployment in east germany was a little higher and that has

rules keep changing as fast as they are changing and they actually become very difficult even with hindsightthe line to work out exactly which steps did have a real impact. that's a really good point. one thing that we do know is that the most vulnerable, the elderly, there were just about the elderly, there were just about the impact of the first time

rules keep changing as fast as they are changing and they actually become very difficult even with hindsight further down the line to work out exactly which steps did have a real impact. that's a really good point. one thing that we do know is that the most vulnerable, the elderly, there were just about the elderly, there were just about the impact of the first time around to the daily telegraph not picking up to the daily telegraph not picking up on this suggestion that care homes are being asked to take back road patients who have been discharged from hospital. it is the paper discharged from hospital. it is the pa per exactly discharged from hospital. it is the paper exactly saying? we've been here before and it was actually devastating the first time around. this is a worrying story in the front page of the telegraph. as we know at the height of lockdown we had thousands of patients that were discharged without so much as a test and your disasters. 15,000 people on the number of care home residents in the number of care home residents in the uk that died from coronavirus related symptoms

i guess my answer is hindsight is 20/20.known the debate was going to keep going this way. i guess i thought originally the president was going to engage in a debate with biden and let biden answer so they could go back and forth. that was a misapprehension. then i thought maybe the president is going to do this in the first segment, try to rattle biden. when that didn't work, i thought and i think he would've been well advised to pull back and let biden talk more. biden's answers weren't always great. in fact sometimes i think if the president had stepped back and let biden give his answers, he could've been more effective in picking them apart. it was only 45 minutes in that i realized what a total mess and to service this was to the country and try to stop it, do i wish i had stepped in earlier? yes but as i say, hindsight is 20/20. >> bill: the president said at one point is to on one. he felt like he was debating you and joe biden. others have suggested joe biden didn't answer a lot of the questions and that no book abo

tonight: hindsight is 20/20. plus, stephen welcomes: dr. jon lapook. and john dickerson. featuring jon batiste and stay homin'. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater office building in new york city, it's stephen colbert! >> stephen: hey, everybody. welcome to "a late show." i am your host, stephen colbert. this-- this is a very unusual episode of the show. because, well, this is a very unusual day. we weren't actually even going to do a show today. i wasn't going to even be here right now. but, then again, a lot of people are in places today that they did not expect to be. because, in the early-morning hours, we learned that president trump and first lady melania tested positive for covid-19. now, say what you will about the president-- and i do-- this is a serious moment for our nation, and we all wish the president and the first lady of the united states a speedy and full recovery. news on trump's condition has been sketchy. this morning, the president's old friend, dr. ronny jackson-- remember him? he said the president and the first lady are going to be

but as i say, hindsight i 20/20. howie: the president's argument was he had to debate chris wallace and joe biden. what chris wallace said he was trying to do was enforce the rules and at what point he called for a halt of the debate to try to get better decorum and it basically didn't work. >> as a veteran of the middletown high school debate team in ohio, i was appalled. this is not a debate. it was a debacle. you got a big shouting match that broke down in two and it didn't serve anybody's purposes very well. i was most surprised with president trump who normally is very conscious of how an audience thinks and feels, somehow thought that by yelling at joe biden and interrupting he was going to expand his base. no. right now is a time when president trump needs to be able to reach out to those people who are the undecided voters, that 15% out there or whatever that's still undecided and most of those i talked to just thought a pox on both their houses, it was a big hot mess. howie: well, mollie, jedediah referenced

the warning signs, looks in the rear mirror and says what that is all about, literally doubled in hindsight. today, today, 100 days since the first local restrictions were introduced. 20 areas in england have been under restrictions for two months. in 19 of those 20 areas the infection rates have gone up. they have gone up, it is too early to say prescriptions are working. something has gone wrong here. what does the prime minister do about it? >> 5 billion pounds of support, and extra restrictions they are experiencing, and across the country, have to go to local measures. going forward with national measures, intensifying of 6 and two weeks ago - >> the next ferrari show say i support the rule of 6, yes i do. last night, mister speaker, the labour party abstained from the rule of 6. he asked what we are doing to enforce local measures. he can't even be bothered to support them himself in. >> for the prime minister's benefit let me take this slowly. we support measures to protect health. the government is missing it up and it is our duty to point it out. the figures here, it varies when re

hindsight how that the, will the trump -- is trump campaign happy so many potentially watched the trump town hall. the day, i sent out a tweet saying, the town hall format is not exactly the best format for the president because he is interacting with demeanor with not, it is not warm and fuzzy, shall we say? i am bringing this up because i presidentng from trump's perspective, which is better? a town hall or a campaign rally? from trump's perspective, there is nothing better than a campaign rally. andaides have tried to tell when there was a debate about the debate, they tried to convey, right now, just about no takes yourtwork rallies live. maybe fox news for part of it. the eyeballs you get from a debate or a national television event you do simply does not compare to you doing a rally or calling into foxbusiness news. own sense ofdents what he likes to do, he prefers a rally. >> i know he loves the rallies and seeing the people and hearing the cheers and applause and laughter permit does the president actually enjoy taking questions from real, everyday >> he can. it depends on his m

hindsight of 160 years, was there a point during that four years when you read that history that the civil war could have been avoided? >> guest: honestly, i don't think so. unless the north was willing to live with slavery or the south was willing to say we're setting a timeline for its elimination. and, you know, echoes of the past resonate today. it was all fueled by firebrands. some of them were hotheads especially in the south who really wanted to fuel the politics of grievance, the north is out to get us, we're going to lose power. remember, the civil war in many ways was also about the fear of the transfer of power. the southerners had controlled the congress almost from the beginning, and they protected what they called the peculiar institution all that time. including doing very anti-american, anti-constitutional things like blocking petitions in the congress about slavery which was the cause of john quincy adams in the years he was in the white house -- [inaudible] he was seven sure -- censured for refusing to recognize a ban -- [inaudible] the right of the people to petiti

david: hindsight is always 20/20 , but looking back what would you say the cdc or fda or white houser hhs should have done differently? is there any think you would recommend someone in the future do differently if they were overseeing this kind of pandemic response? alex: when you look backwards, things always seem clear, and i think there are a few lessons, and i would also say almost all of us have underestimated the dramatic impact of this outbreak. if you would have asked most people eight or nine months ago if you would ever see the kind of impact we are seeing around the world right now, if you would have gotten it right. i think there are lessons to be learned. first and foremost is the importance of global public health, and going forward we will understand much better that if we do not have global public health security, we do not have national security, economic security, and it will not have security as society. the importance of being prepared, making sure that we have got the kinds of particles in place, certain products repositioned and frankly also move from a maniaca

in hindsight given what happened we regret having published it we are now exploring how in the future we can take a step back before getting carried away with things like that meanwhile some french t.v. channels have started airing those controversial cartoons in defense of free speech and dozens of raids have already been carried out against suspected islamists but often refreshed muslims now 5th they will bear the brunt of the government's response a solid reports. in the wake of samuel patti's gruesome murder the french state wants to show that it's being quick to act police have raided the homes of islam is activists engaged on social networks more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been opened arrests have already taken place since yesterday around 50 associative structures will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them at my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers this latest terror attack is only likely to harden the state starts already led to more accusations that muslims need to take cover or are calling

the real question to me is, if knowing in hindsight how the town hall went, it is the trump campaign happy that potentially so many people watched that trump town hall in real time? [laughter] jonathan: i'm glad you pointed that out, because earlier in the day, i sent out a tweet saying, let's be clear, the townhall format is not exactly the best format for the president, because he is interacting with people. sort of his demeanor with people, as we saw in the abc townhall a couple weeks ago, it is not warm and fuzzy, i will put it like that. i am bringing all of this up. i am wondering from president trump's perspective, which is better, a town hall campaign or a rally? ashley: from trump's perspective, there is nothing better than a campaign rally. his aides have tried to tell him when there was a debate about the debate, they try to convey to him that's right now, just about no cable network takes your rallies live. maybe fox news for part of that, depending on what time the rally is, but the eyeballs you get from a debate or a national television event you do simply does not comp

and the benefit of hindsight when you go back and look at the that we were working off of that time. though signals are always a , people wereddled saying what they chose to say. and the imagination really weuded judgment that's why ended up with a situation where hillary clinton was presented as this indomitable and obvious victor, which did not turn out to be the case. and we at inside elections, we don't just use public polls are national polls, we spend all of our time on talking to sources thingsave a sense of how are playing on the beltway, it can happen that you miss the stories if you're not talking to anyone. we do a good job of that. that we like to cite this on the house of representatives side, which is where you get the most granular and interesting look at the trends that are happening in these races across the country out of projection was the democratic gain in 2016. the final results with six seats. there were some misses on the presidential side which happened across the media, the fundamental story with the most granular data told a pretty true tale in 2016. as to

it is not a risk they take that appears to be outside the protocol but hindsight is always 20/20. this particular moment but we have no reason to believe the protocols they went through were inconsistent with what they do at the white house and other campaigns without looking at the calendar the next 14 days to move or do that later but clearly what shines out. the televised debate. there already real change is coming from the commission. do you think that has to be cancelled or will there be discussions about moving that virtual online?|j will there be discussions about moving that virtual online? i think will have to see first what the do people want to see a discussion between these two, they want to know what theirjob between these two, they want to know what their job future looks like post covid—i9. this makes this even more critical. i think it will move a good opportunity for resume our skype to garner a lot of media attention. but it wouldn't surprise me if this is done virtually this debate and possibly a few others. this strange election and the stranger just keeps gett

that is quite striking, isn't it, because we were all desperate to get out of nocturne, but with hindsightsa tewson lockdown. i wonder if there is a geographic factor —— too soon. would it have been politically possible to take some parts out of the lockdown, some parts of the country with that have been a cce pta ble country with that have been acceptable at the time, or this must be demand slow the uncertain areas, did that make more sense from a political point of view, and i'm not sure about that. what is interesting about this poll as i had read to others from the express and sky news, i think, others from the express and sky news, ithink, but others from the express and sky news, i think, but both said the majority of the country wanted a full lockdown and people wanted to cancel christmas if it meant saving lives and it was at the very top pro lockdown measure service. if you asked the question a different way, saying are you worried about your livelihood and the economy and losing jobs as a result of it, people overwhelmingly say yes. 85% of people say yes, they are worried about t

the real question to me is, if knowing now in hindsight how that townhall went, is the trump campaign actually happy that the ginger so many people watched thatat trump townhall in real-time? >> i'm glad you pointed that out because earlier in the day i sent out the tweets saying, let's be clear, the town hall format is not exactly the best format for the president because he is interacting with people and sort of his demeanor with people, as we saw in abc townhall a couple weeks ago, is not,t, let's, it's that warm and fuzzy shall we say. i'll put it like that. i'm bringing all this up becaue i'm wondering from thede trump campaign, or from president trump's perspective, which is better, a townhall or a campaign rally? >> from trump's perspective there is nothing better than a campaign rally, right? his aides have tried to tell them in some ways when it was this whole back-and-forth about the debate to try to convey to them look, right now just about no t cable network takes around his life. maybe fox news for part of it, depending on what the news is, depending on what time the rall

it characterises their hindsight heavy behaviour. but...t call me scum? order! from the front bench, we will not have remarks like that. not under any circumstances, no matter how heartfelt it might be. angela rayner jumped to herfeet, arguing chris clarkson had made an inacurate comment about labour's front bench but she did later apologise. finally on thursday, the equalities minister told mps that her report on the unequal impact of covid—i9 had found that a range of factors made it more likely that people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds were more likely to be affected and die from the virus. but... part of the excess risk remains unexplained for some groups and further analysis for the potential risk factors is planned. what has emerged is that interventions across the entire population are most likely to disproportionately benefit ethnic minorities and are at least likely to attach damaging stigma. whilst i welcome the government decision to make the recording of ethnicity as part of the death certificate process mandatory,

but in hindsight, knowing what we know now, it's clear that different conclusions could and should havepost office and is what the inquiry is exactly out there to work out those lessons. how can an organisation like the post office, fujitsu and ministers from all parties fall prey to groupthink on such a grand scale, that despite this computer error occurring across the country, it was assumed the only possible explanation was that all sub postmasters effected were dishonest? what action will my right honourable friend take to ensure that they will all be held to account? during the chairmanship, we can seek evidence and complement what is already available from the findings, but speaking to the post office and fujitsu who have agreed to comply with this inquiry, but also to, i hope, that sub postmasters in conversation with serene williams can share their evidence and their stories so we can get to the bottom of this is my honourable friend says. this may be one of the largest miscarriages ofjustice in our history. 900 prosecutions, innocent people bankrupted and imprisoned. careers ru

you just see it in the "support, u—turn, oppose" approach that's characterised their hindsight—heavyrder! order! from the front bench, we will not have remarks like that, not under any circumstances, no matter how heartfelt it might be. not at all. one of the things i'd ask your guidance on is honourable members saying things about the front bench which is inaccurate in their speech, and i've asked them to withdraw it. it's not for the chair to decide what is accurate or inaccurate. i cannot make such a judgement, but, of course, i will ask the honourable gentleman to be reasonable in what he says and be careful with his remarks. the chancellor, rishi sunak, is due to address mps on thursday. labour hope he'll agree to a temporary england—wide lockdown. failing to implement a circuit break that fixes test and isolate could cost our economy £110 billion. tomorrow, the chancellor's got to come here, he's got to ask now, he's got to get a grip on this virus, save lives and livelihoods. i'm afraid an awful lot of what we have seen in the last 48 hours has been political games and party p

to engage with but as a street photographer for so long in a way now that there's a little bit of hindsight to the project. in ways there's a lot of relatedness to making pictures people of people you know of people's faces and gestures and bodies from the front without asking permission prior so as as a street photographer or at least with the kind of street for talk risky that i have that i have primarily partake in and so many of my colleagues as well there is the ingredient of voyeurism and. you know that is either something that it a particular individual can embrace or not and i can embrace it in part because i believe up instinctive reasons natural inborn reasons and also because of intellectual curiosity photographic photographers curiosity an interest in finding out about us i got close and compositionally created a more or less a continuity especially as the project progressed is this something you would consider doing anywhere else or is it something specific to new york do you think is most interesting to the streets of new york and the populous of new york has been the thrust o

in hindsight would you accept that the white house starting with the president should have been moreent is that every person who attended that rose garden event took a covid test on the white house grounds and waited for the test to come back so every person who attended that rose garden event had tested negative for covid before working out. they were also all wearing masks until they got the test results back so everybody at that event at that time was negative for covid. but isn't the point that you could be infectious getting symptoms and a couple of days before you are going to test positive and therefore you could be still able to spread it? yes, but i do not think any of those people who attended that they were exhibiting symptoms because they would not have been allowed on the premises. what about questions about the timeline of when mr trump travelled on to an event after knowing all the team knowing that one of his closest aides had tested positive? i don't know much about that to be perfectly honest and i think that the team has to make the decision and i am sure that they

but looking with the benefit of hindsight if you would mind gentlemen that impressive show 1st of all would this have happened anyway would have been the state now is it 4 years of trump would it have happened anyway. well certainly on a trump is downplayed this pandemic we have now more than 7000000 people in this country who have been infected with code 210000 deaths plus and never mind those that have any of them in reported to a co-morbidities. in trump is not taking this seriously he's prioritized other things such as the uncertain in of venezuela in an unspoken war on the venezuelan people blockade of other countries an all out new cold war against china in the ongoing russia folia that we hear especially from the liberal media so the coronavirus has not been his priority i mean how is he showing up at the white house as if today was a normal day imagine if one of us showed up at the studio or at our jobs when he was still contagious with kobe trying to downplay it that signals the wrong things to the rest of the country i mean he's barely even in advocating for masks of what be
