after watching one of those appearances, annette raised again this question.hat's not the only allegation this week that bbc staff have been behaving irresponsibly in relation to the guidance issued around the pandemic. matt hancock's interview on monday morning down the line from the camera overlooking the newsroom here in london. but the attention of some viewers was drawn to what was happening behind him. for instance, a number of people behind him coming and going in apparently close promximity. sarah campbell e—mails. cecilia echoed that. we asked bbc news for a response to that and they told us. the use of pre—recorded background footage on the green screen is not unusual. in fact, we're using one right now because i'm in a broom cupboard—sized studio but while on the topic of abiding by covid—19 related guidelines, we have mentioned before your reactions to bbc reporters and interviewees wearing or not wearing masks when being filmed out and about. some viewers are annoyed that face coverings are not used more often. others have problems when they are w

annette, i would say that there is no love lost between angela merkel and donald trump. >> no, exactly that relationship was a very complicated one with her eye rolling in public and him not giving her the hand when she was asking for a hand shake. just to remind you of two occasions where it was very public that those two characters didn't work well together. but with joe biden, this is different. angela merkel knows him from the time where he served under barack obama and so there is a hope that there will be a big revival of the trance application relati trans-atlantic relationships and so already kaurling for a new deal offering america a new reset of the reflgs ship and for example, also stugting that they could work together to find a common approach how to deal with china. for example, but also a common approach when it comes to energy politics the kcontentious issues like defense spending will stay on the table and also a biden adminisatration will not be in favor of the gas pipeline between germany and russia, but probably the discussions will be less aggressive going forward.

you know, you're going to be on tv with annette gordon reed? she's a rock star in our family.her latte. i have a copy of her great book which our family has read and written notes all over. thomas jefferson, i would say incredibly important. if only for the declaration of independence, a great document, both great literature and a great political document. that said, three things that really bothered me about him and led me to really reassess my opinion of him in my research. first, he was a lousy governor of virginia. he was asleep at the wheel during the revolution. winds up getting chased out of monticello by british troops riding up carter mountain behind him. second, he's kind of a hypocrite about the country. he wants to have the west explored. yet he himself never goes west of the blue ridge. it's not that he doesn't like to travel. when he lives in france, he travels all over. and third, and most of all, worst of all, on slavery. i wanted to defer to the expert here, but my opinion is he was at best a hypocrite, a man who dreamed of liberty while living on the sweat of

witness history spoke to annette hoffman, one of the founders of the so—called women of the wall.r more times than i would like to think of, taking women of the wall to emergency room. and of course endless eggs, water thrown at women of the wall. when israel took over east jerusalem, they built a partition between men and women at the wall. the partition is not equal. men are encouraged to explore alljewish expressions. what some people allow themselves to say about us, and to us is quite shocking. wrap them in their prayer shawl and bury them alive. and we are being called nazis by otherjewish people. and when we went to court it would be 1a years later when we will receive a verdict. the court felt that our issue is so complex that it rocks thejewish world as we know it. cheering. we won three out of our four strategic goals. women can wear a prayer shawl now at the wall, i won't say it's a pleasure, but you can do it. i am waiting for the day when young girls going to be reading the torah, wearing her prayer shawl praying out loud and she will say to me, hey, old lady, it's al

i has annette. i mean, to begin with, many people assumed this year would be different the previous years, the whole region, if not the whole continent, has always looked at conflicts to solve its issues, dialogue, engagement, peaceful coexistence, has always been a foreign language. when i was growing up. we did not expect this to be repeated into 2020, and we hope once we know exactly how many people have died, what the damages are, ethiopia would begin to learn from what really happened. and it has to be there any exercice, even denying the media from reaching their very fine information was a missed opportunity by all sides. this is without taking any sides,, either the governments or the t.p.m., the earth. but what a missed opportunity. it was. i mean, some member of the media, i really have to apologize to, to the everyday people of 2 guy whom i met when i used to go there for work to be we were not able to be any useful to them or tell their stories. journalists to touch you and i do. thank y

annette that's about 35-40 high school. annette that's about 35—40 go! he has a lot to catch up on!ana, so he is very committed to the theme. he, as i mentioned, he's got two children, he has excellent relationships with his ex—wife, kirsten, everybody seems to get along. it's like one big happy extended blended family over there. and he really, i have to say what struck me most about him when we spoke, it was about a month before the election, and i felt like the entire country was curled up in the foetal position hitting refresh on twitter, biting their nails down to knobs and he seemed very calm about the whole thing. so it seems like somebody who is probably good to have in a high—pressure job and in a very intense and overwhelming situation which vice president—elect harris is about to find herself. jessica, do you think that he's going to be the ultimate symbol of the postfeminist world, and therefore something of a role model? that sounds like a lot of pressure. you know, ithink that sounds like a lot of pressure. you know, i think what's exciting about all of these roles is

with the details correspondent stephanie simons in philadelphia pennsylvania and i'm joined by our annette choudhry here with me in the studio i want to start with you because you have worked firstly with joe biden you know him as an individual do you think he has the character to bring together the nation as he's been promising as we expect him to say in his victory speech i mean i think part of the real special relationship that i saw him have with barack obama was that they kind of had a head heart you know union thing going on where joe biden just brings poddle of empathy and understanding to any situation that he's put in but i think what needs to be done to bring the country together is to use that that's a good starting point but then to have a program a program that he can really sell in his joe biden manner and so this transition period over the next couple weeks and who gets picked is a cattle positions is so important as that gives us a clue as to what the biden empathy machine will be selling right ok well let's cross over now then to our correspondent stephanie simons who is i

tighten credit standards they may be willing to make use without the leveraging let's get out to annette recap the key messages from deutsche bank and what you are looking out for? >> christian's speech was more or less like a macro layout speech like the structural changes of the industry and that this time around, the banks are part of the solution and not necessarily part of the action europe has to keep it together to keep its role in the economy. now more or less laying the same horn saying the banks are willing to make use and clearly turned towards the down side he's also saying that profitability of european banks will most likely actually going to be lower than previously that is quite a message that poses a big problem that's also a problem for the industry as such not only from a regulator but the likes of deutsche bank have been clearly suffering ever since the big financial crisis from a diminishing role the sop that was addressing the u.s. banks. >> translator: if the companies are to produce more, it is about the banking industry the situation does not really match this en

but let's get out to our reporters for more on this we have annette in frankfurt and charlotte takingook at the french numbers charlotte, let's just start with you. pretty abysmal when we're looking a the services pmi numbers for france here, coming in at 38 a big drop versus the october number of 46.5 >> that's right. that's not a surprise given that first you had the curfews and then the actual complete lockdown with non-essential shops, cafes, restaurants, everything shut down so services were expected to be under contraction side here this is what we saw what's interesting is the manufacturing side of things that's been on the expansion side of things for the past couple of months and this month it was expected to be just above the 50 line it has actually gone into contraction. it's interesting to see what that means going ahead whether the spillover on the the services side from the manufacturing side because it's just below the contraction side. they are but numbers we see contraction however, comparing what we saw in the first lockdown of course in april where the numbers were

annette gutierrez has three teenagers who are all big fans of super-mario.s christmas she's hoping to get them the nintendo switch with neon blue and neon red joycon. it retails for $299.99, but we've seen it being sold by a third party for $437. >> oh, wow. wow. i wasn't aware of that. >> she says there's no way she'd pay that kind of premium. >> it's cruel. it's cruel to children. i mean, these are toys. i know they're expensive, but there comes a limit. >> a final thought, if you do decide to buy from a retailer, you need to check the return policy. it's doubtful they're going to have the exact same policy as a toy store or big box store down the street. ama? >> all good shopping points. got to get on it. thank you, michael. >>> well, we are welcoming november with some warm weather. spencer has the seven-day forecast next. and abc 7 is your place to watch on election day. our continuous coverage begins with abc news at 4:00 p.m. special edition of abc 7 news airs at 8:00 p.m. with a check of all the bay area races. we'll have a special digital election n

ballots are counted and joe biden's winning 75% of them, which is his average statewide, that would be annette gain of at least 50,000 votes. and 50,000 plus 19,000 would be almost a 70,000 vote lead for joe biden. and he has a 70,000 vote lead here then trump has to get 85% of the provisional votes. so the question is, though, the number of counted -- if you take that absentee pool are they all going to be counted or is a chunk of them not going to be counted, can that lead be lower? that might be a variable too. but it's very uphill, absolutely. >> that's super useful, as everything you continue to do, day and night, joining me, rebecca ballhouse, the white house reporter that broke the story that trump's advisers are telling the president there is no legal way to cut into joe biden's vote advantage. rebecca, i've seen a lot of, you know, stuff floating around. this is the best, most precise reporting i've seen. what are you learning and what are people telling and what are those discussions like? >> there's a growing divide between what the president and his campaign are saying publicly and

let's get more from tim annette. what happened?he took a look at clinical trial data that has been out there. there is a clinical trial called solidarity in which remdesivir was found not to reduce deaths in covid-19 patients, so that is the information to who is looking at to make this recommendation. what happens from a regulatory perspective? this got approval for serious covid-19 patients in australia as well. the fda approved it as the first formally approved therapeutic after president trump had it in his drug cocktail. does that mean that there will be pressure for some approvals --re revised or we look at looked at? >> you could see some people in the medical community do that. when that happens and i what timetable is an open question and a question for the fda itself. this is a drug that has been in use in a lot of situations in the united states, including the president, so there will be a lot of scrutiny. it is one of the most widely used treatments at the moment. what happens with regulars right now is to be determined

caucus with the democrats but now republicans are in control to get control democrats have to pick up annettese which would be three plus one. let's take a look at the board, in the gold races that are really tight, close, we made some choices based on a what-if scenario, texas red, alabama is a pickup for republicans, iowa, joni ernst pulls that out but you have these other gold senate races where the balance of power hangs, let's say that susan collins holds on in maine, let's say john james wins in michigan, now democrats, let's say they win in arizona and colorado, now you have the southern stretch, to races in georgia, let's get to those in a second, south carolina, lindsey graham pulls that out, north carolina thom tillis, let's say cunningham wins in north carolina, there uc 50 - 48, with remaining, to races in georgia, to races are very close right now, they have to get above 50% in order to avoid a runoff, if they don't it goes to january and that is where the balance of the united states senate could hang, let's say republicans pick up one of those seats and democrats pick up the ot

after watching one of those appearances, annette grigg raised this question: that's not the only allegationly close proximity. sarah campbell e—mailed. and cecilia rubio echoed that. we asked bbc news for a response to that and they told us: the use of prerecorded background footage on a green screen is not unusual. in fact, we are using one right now, because i'm in a broom cupboard sized studio. but while we're on the topic of abiding by covid—19 guidelines, we've mentioned before your reactions to interviewers and interviewees being out and about without masks. some viewers are annoyed that facemasks are not worn more often. others have problems when they are worn. as was the case in this report. sally lowe got in touch with us after watching this interview to say: at least one bbc reporter has found a solution to this problem. here's north of england correspondent dan johnson on air recently. the idea is that people across this city will be able to come get tested whenever they want. it's entirely voluntary, not mandatory, but whatever they want a test, they will be able to and get one.
