chris jansing there in avon, ohio. chris, thank you for that. thank you, shannon, ali, gene robinson. we're keeping an eye on the location that ali is at the train station where joe biden is getting ready to deliver remarks ahead of his train tour through a couple of different battlegrounds here. we're also talking about the morning after a debate, in which the shadow of covid and the economy hung heavy. listen. >> a lot more are going to guy unless he gets a lot smarter, a lot quicker. >> there is nothing smart about you, joe. 47 years you've done nothing. if you would have had -- let me tell you something, joe. >> no. >> if you would have had the charge of what i was put through, i had to close the greatest economy in the history of our country, and, by the way, now it is being built again. >> joining me now from the white house is peter navarro, assistant to the president, and director of the office of trade and manufacturing policy. peter, thank you for being on the show this morning. >> did you have a good night in the hall? i saw your revi

here in avon and somerset they have had fewer than 30 calls since this new law came into effect at midnighting their neighbours and reporting this kind of anti—social behaviour. that probably explains why the police here haven't gone at it today handing out fans left right and centre, they have seen a softly softly approach to try and engage, educate and explain. because the rules have changed, i think it includes children as well. 0k. so you are over the number that we are... confusion in the park this afternoon. police officers explain to this mum that her toddler's picnic is in breach of the law, because they are a group of seven. it's very difficult to understand, though, because if i'm allowed to go into a pub, and with loads of people and i'm a metre apart from that person and i can't be with my kids' friends. if i count up us with our kids, we are more than six. does that mean we are breaking the law in the park? nikki and her friends are also a group of seven. they thought they'd be ok because the children are at school together. in scotland or wales, they'd be fine, because younger

tom: we are miles beyond avon 1970's.e in the should we use the same timeline now for vaccine developmentdecades ago, or is there a new timeline that you can inform us on? dr. fuller: the timeline has accelerated for development of a vaccine in this era of a pandemic, and that has been really accelerating due to basically overlapping the phase one clinical trials, so you are starting phase ii two before phase one finishes, and phase 3 before phase two finishes. what they are starting the mat is when they have enough data to show that they are meeting their criteria in terms of safety. now that we are entering into phase three trials, the need to show safety, as well as a benchmark for efficacy. they are going to be looking at early points in terms of how many people have become infected. have a ticker that goes on, and when they had 150 or 200 people infected in their phase 3 trial, they are going to look at the ,ata and analysis and determine do we have more people infected in the placebo group then we do in the vaccine group, and how many more? is it 50% efficacious in this early look?

chris jansing is in avon, ohio. and with us is robert costa, an msnbc political analyst. mike, you're on the trail right now with the candidate who is out there. biden world today, obviously trying to make the most out of what is a collective mostly agreed upon analysis that the president blew up that debate last night. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, chuck. they've gone from the train wreck back to the train. i want to explain a little bit about what you're seeing behind me. this has been the unusual biden beat, as it were. he was speaking a couple hundred feet from where i'm standing, just at the train station itself. what's been happening without any notice of where he's going to be, we've seen these crowds spontaneously gather. a big biden crowd, but it's further down the way, there was a sizable trump contingent. it's been interesting, as we try to cover this campaign, what these events have turned into. in terms of what this debate, where we go from here, you saw the former vice president in his remarks try to cast what he thought this debate should be about. he wa

this is antony cauvin's grandma in stratford—upon—avon, and she's about to have a hug for the first time of london. by the italian gardens, a statue of two bears hugging. there is a basic animal instinct at play here. rebecca is a professional cuddle therapist. studies have shown hugging releases oxytocin, a hormone associated with happiness. it enhances the trust between one another, it makes us feel bonded. and again, when you are a social tribe, you need each other. and if we lack that or are taken away from it, all sorts of emotional and mental and physical consequences will follow. nonetheless # hold me close and hold me fast.# these pictures, taken before the pandemic, show rebecca at work. sometimes, only a hug will do. but the current rules on social distancing across the uk means officially, the only people you're allowed to hug are those you live with and those in your bubble. in the back of his cab in the car park in hyde park, we found lee practising his saxophone. i am a cuddly person, and i do like cuddling, because it shows more emotion, and yeah, i do miss it because, it'
