my colleague now, martha maccallum live from cleveland, ohio, we spent a lot of time together in cleveland>> i think we spent a year in cleveland together in 2016. >> bill: how does it look to you? >> it's quite impressive, to a kind of change venues over the course of covid-19, it looks great in there and i think people are going to be surprised at how the people who are in there, 80-100 is the estimate, fill that room. it's a great space. >> bill: how important is this debate on how you make decisions in 2020. extremely important has 18%. not at all has 24%. look at the top line, if you are saying this debate is extremely important to your vote, 84 million in 2016 watch debate number one, that's a lot of ma math. >> i was trying to do the very complicated math of adding together the top three categories and is roughly more for those who say it doesn't matter at all. most people say it does matter to them either somewhat or extremely and i think that's where you're going to get tuning in over the course of this exciting debate tomorrow night. i think there are a lot of folks who have alre

i will bill hemmer live in cleveland, ohio. 're are waiting for president trump ready to touch down in cleveland. he will face off with joe biden in the same room for the first time. the first of 3 presidential debates hours away. there is no shortage of drama. in these covid times there will be no handshake between the candidates. chris wallace will handle those duties. the crowd is capped at 100 people indoors. it's what is happening behind-the-scenes that has everyone talking. both campaigns will join me live in cleveland. ted cruz ready to tee off to the supreme court battle. first trump campaign advisor steve courtez. good afternoon to you. thanks for your time? >> good afternoon. >> bill: what do you consider victory? >> victory will be a chance for the american people to see who joe biden is. he has been hidden away? they can't hide. for 90 minutes in front of a massive audience, he has a record of economic failure. we contrast that to president trump. somebody who can boast of being an incredible job creator and an entre

you're looking inside the debate hall in cleveland, ohio. we're about 30 minutes away from a truly potentially epic battle debate. who knows exactly what it is going to be. david axelrod, you've been with president obama predebate. what are the candidates doing right now do you think? >> well, they're collecting themselves and probably with aids who are not prepping them but just kind of encouraging them and, you know -- >> that time is done. >> yeah, you're not going to be -- if you're prepping now, you got some deep problems, whatever they are going to do, they are going to do. you want to get them in the right frame of mind. i don't know what it's like to prep donald trump for a debate because he approaches this in a different way. he's an entertainer. >> is there a danger? joe biden is used to debates that, you know, he talks about a record, someone else talks about their record, they attack each other's records. donald trump is -- can be

they face are for the first time tonight in cleveland ohio -- cleveland, ohio.s malik perkins parts were flying from the onset. among the topics on the table tonight, the pandemic of course. the economy as well. >> let's bring in greg lee. greg, a lot to unpack here tonight. this thing started rockets and ended that way as well. >> it never really stopped. the way this debate ended i think these two men could have continued to. it began talking about election results and joe biden trying to fax check him on the flight. we have talked about people a lot and how many voters have already decided which way they're going to vote. about 86% say they have already made up their mind. if you are in an independent voter, the 4% watching this hoping to get some idea of which way these men are going to go you did not get night, it was a mess. there was so much bickering and talking over each other. you almost had to feel for chris wallace, the moderator. didn't seem to get control of these two men because there was a lot of interruption we saw a lot of name-calling and an a

this is the shot in cleveland, ohio. to tune in to watch. only 70 in the actual room because of covid —— something like. five weeks until the election on november three. many americans voting already. polls are suggesting only about 40% of voters undecided. the election will probably be decided by the 11 states that swing between the republicans and the democrats are —— 14%. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcmikeembley. we will be back in a moment. hello there. most parts of the country enjoyed some sunshine on tuesday — temperatures reached 21 celsius in kent. today, though, we are going to find cooler and wetter weather arriving across the uk, and sunshine will be in short supply. and that's because all this cloud has been massing out in the atlantic and is now starting to stream in, and these weather fronts are bringing with it some outbreaks of rain that will push their way eastwards steadily through the day. now, ahead of that rain, it's a milder start to the morning. tempera

all eyes on cleveland, ohio. jon ferro, i don't know your history with cleveland, ohio besides the best football team on the planet, but this debate tonight will be a battle. it will be interesting to see just in the first 10 minutes how the debate agains -- the debate begins. jonathan:jonathan: my association with cleveland is lebron james. did i do that right? tom: you nailed that. jonathan: we can explore that another time. in the markets, i am not sure what the implications or conflict once is actual -- or consequent is actually are. the near-term risk, the number one is that we don't have an outcome november 4. if we get a clear lead and joe biden really solidifies that in the debate tonight, is that risk on? do you fade the volatility off the back of that without really considering the policy implications of a democratic sweep? i think that might be a step too far, but i am trying to work through those issues with a series of guests. we continue to do that through the next way for hours. tom: on economics,

be trusted in the oval office so 90 minutes of debate you're looking at the live pictures from cleveland. ohio let's bring in john hendren there's a lot to unpack and john. you know there were interruptions there was name calling turned quite personal the times i mean talk us through some of the key takeaways i know a lot of issues were touched upon. there were a lot of issues touched upon but that was more of a verbal brawl than a due date the president was aggressive from the start he's the one who's been up behind in the polls the one who really wanted to shake things up and he did he aggressively interrupted biden again and again he interrupted the moderator the moderator had to one point asked him if he wanted to switch seats. and trump and wallace went back and forth trump and biden went back and forth at one point though there were moments of coherence when asked why you should be president and why the other person should joe biden said the nation is weaker more violent sick or under trump trump said under by goo that there would be not just the $204000.00 deaths from the coronavirus th

> good evening everyone for 90 minutes tonight the world's attention will focus on a stage in cleveland, ohio where donald trump and joe biden will for the first time take their bitter war of words face to face it's debate night. the president according to most polls going into tonight as the underdog beneath the shadow of mounting covid deaths and a damaged economy. biden stepping into a kind of public glare he has largely managed to avoid during this campaign tonight running as much against his own performance as he is donald trump's we've got it all covered leading off now from cleveland >> reporter: a possible game changer tonight with two very different candidates and very different ways of getting ready for their first head to head. instead of lengthy mock debates president trump is holding q & a sessions with former new jersey governor chris christie and personal lawyer rudy guiliani his campaign spreading a conspiracy theory the former vice president might use an ear piece and hinting the president may get personal by attacking biden's son, hunter biden. after months of lowering the b

the debate in cleveland, ohio.ll give you some framework on that with david westin and kevin cirilli. cleveland, ohio is exceptionally important to the fabric of late 19th century america. it was arguably the richest city in the world off of oil in the times of the 1890's and the 1900s. case western reserve university, a leading institution -- think the legacy of john hey and of alldow of dow chemical and the industrial might of another time. it will be important for us, in this debate, to find a political experts. rather than that, we drag in a gentlelady from case western reserve university in cleveland, ohio amy pope of chatham house. is -- went went this there. this is one of our great science institutions, and esther trump will be talking at that nexus of science and engineering. amy: this will be a big show. there will be a lot of fireworks, is what i am expecting. tom: there is an agenda. we all know chris wallace and what he has been doing -- he has always been very rigorous about the debate. do you assume

it is fight night in cleveland, ohio. the debate in about 14 hours' time.uite the spectacle lined up. 1960you go right back to when this world changed with tv and radio, and what we saw with kennedy/nixon. i don't know if we will see element of that, but you will see way over the 80 million four years ago for clinton and trump. the interest is ginormous. jonathan: it is a spectacle. it is golden tv. does it have consequences? that is the question. monmouth university come out with a pole that said just 3% they are very likely to hear something that will impact their eventual vote choice. we will all be watching. will it have consequences? tom: let to get the theater out of the way right now. this is very important. this is case western reserve university, one of our great science and engineering institutions, and the richest , secretary 1800s hayes to roosevelt. this is the history of dow chemical as well. and in the 20th century, it is a city that has been flat on its back for a decade -- for decades. joe biden if can speak to these people, and president t

both men just arriving in cleveland, ohio, for their first face-off of the campaign. the stakes clearly are immense. with each candidate preparing new barbs to get under the other's skin. we're also told it could get rather personal. tonight's showdown will be the first general election debate in american history to take place during a pandemic. precautions include social distancing between the candidates, no handshakes and the entire audience being tested for covid-19. the coronavirus death toll, by the way, here in the united states is closing in on 206,000 with more than 7.1 million confirmed cases. as dr. anthony fauci is now warning that unfortunate mixed messages out of washington are hurting the credibility of potential vaccines. nearly half the country is now heading in the wrong direction. with new cases increasing in at least 23 states. let's begin our coverage this hour with cnn's kaitlan collins outside the debate hall. cnn is learning that both sides expect this debate to get rather personal. tell our viewers what you're learning. >> yeah, wolf, they thin

jon sopel, bbc news, cleveland, ohio.t now to donald del mcdonald chairman, responsible for ethics in washington i asked him how concerning the president's debt is if the documents are reliable. does it make him vulnerable to pressure from unknown sources? that's absolutely right. we have seen over the past couple of years and other countries have spent money at the president's hotel as they try to lobby the administration on foreign policy. the president's debt is a national security risk because these unknown entities and individuals have a substantial amount of financial leverage over the commander—in—chief. is the kind of thing that we get you disqualified for getting a security clearance if you were a regular government contractor 01’ a regular government contractor or government employee. if the new york times leagues are correct, mr trump must have paid something like 420 million in loans in the next four yea rs. in loans in the next four years. the key question in all of that is who did he borrow that money from a

jon sopel, bbc news, cleveland, ohio.ctor of citizens for responsibility in ethics. there may be a lot of voters saying it is not great, but actually, it is quite smart to avoid taxes. a lot of people might declare losses even if they are not really losing money. but the debt if it is true, is an issue, a real issue, because it does make people vulnerable to pressure? that is absolutely right. we have seen over the last four years, how foreign powers, including government officials from turkey and other countries have spent money at the president does make hotel as they tried to lobby the administration on foreign policy. the president's debt is a national security risk because these unknown entities and individuals have a substantial amount of financial leverage over the commander—in—chief. it's a kind of thing that would get you disqualified for getting a security clearance if you were a regular government contractor 01’ a regular government contractor or government employee. and if the new york times leagues are right,

looking at cleveland, ohio, that is where the debate will take place this evening. throughout the show we'll not only hear from the voters, we also have ohio republican senator rob portman coming up. this is a big show, stay with us throughout the entire hour. we start the with fox business team coverage. blake burman at the white house. we'll get to black in a moment. we begin this afternoon with lauren simonetti on the markets. lauren. lauren: today, guys, wall street took a little bit of a breather with the first down day in four days. three main concerns here, mainly stimulus, the whole question mark when we'll get more of it. but also a rise in coronavirus cases in new york which was once the epicenter of the virus, raising fears of another lockdown. yes, two lesser extent, investors waiting to see what's going to happen. who will emerge the winner if there is it one after the presidential showdown tonight. this is how we finished the session. you can see the dow, the s&p 500 down half of 1% each. the nasdaq down a quarter of 1%. this is the second to last day o

jon sopel, bbc news, cleveland, ohio. let's get more on the tax issue now in particular.is pretty smart to avoid taxes as much as you can, avoid taxes as much as you can, a lot of business people try to do it but the problem with debt is that it leaves people vulnerable to pressure. we have learned a lot about donald trump's finances in addition to how he just has avoided certain taxes, we have learned more about the income that trump has received from foreign business, we've learned more about what he has paid on foreign business interest previously we didn't have these exact announcements so it is giving at least some peak into those potential conflicts of interest. it is bound to be a question at the debate, isn't it? something along the lines of tax returns showing that he has to repay $421 million in loans in the next four years. there is bound to be an issue about who he borrowed that money from into the guarantors are. there are a lot of questions that have yet to be answered and is the big issue, that while we do now have at least reporting of two yea rs of have a

it will happen in cleveland, ohio, on tuesday.e former vice president when he's going through the preparations really likes his aides to pepper hip rapid fire with questions about policy as opposed to a mock debate. we're also told his former chief of staff ron klain is heavily involved in his debate pretty. klain was also very much involved in hillary clinton's preparations for debating then candidate trump back in 2016. now, in previous weeks, biden had been studying a briefing books, holding smaller sessions with policy aides, really drilling down on details. he also told the traveling press he's been paying close attention to what president trump has said and what president trump has not said. and to that end, the biden team believes that trump will be pretty unpredictable on that stage. and that they believe he will tell a number of lies or falsehoods. they're relying on the moderator, in this case, chris wallace from fox news to really call that out, thinking that it is not wise or maybe even possible for biden to be the sol

it will be held in cleveland, ohio.resident donald trump and joe biden to square off in a debate moderated by "fox news sunday" host crest wallace. the top -- chris wallace. the topics include the records of both the president and the former vice president. the china virus pandemic, the economy, the supreme court, election integrity and race relations. the debate is set to last an hour and a half. this will be no breaks -- there will be no breaks. that to the disappointment of the joe biden campaign, fearing that he may struggle to keep up with president trump's customary high-energy performance. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany this evening said this about her expectations of tonight's showdown. >> there is no comparing the record of obama/biden and president trump. when you look at president trump, record lows in unemployment, a v-shaped recovery, when you look at obama/biden, slowest economic recovery since world war ii, health care, same thing. premiums up, drug costs up under obama. president trump brou

presidential election has taken place in cleveland ohio it was a bad tempered at times chaotic affair joe biden called president trump a liar and a clown president failed to condemn white supremacists and targeted what he called the radical left kuwait's late emir. has been laid to rest a day after his death a funeral procession was held in kuwait city for the 91 year old leader just after his body arrived from the united states.

the stage is set for tuesday night's debate in cleveland, ohio. millions of americans will be watching as the candidates face off over hot button issues impacting country. >> i think this whole thing though is debate prep. what i do is debate prep every day. i'm taking questions from you people all time. >> i think what joe is going to do is what joe always does. he will speak directly to the american people, understanding what their need are. he will talk about facts. >> reporter: for weeks leading up to debate, both campaigns have pursued different strategies about how to best prepare. the debate commission along with moderator fox news sunday host chris wallace chose the topic including the cats' records, the coronavirus, the economy, the supreme court, . >> we have to think about where we are with our economy. people are struggling personally, professionally, economically. >> i think this is a great opportunity for the president to really just be himself. he doesn't have to hold back very much. he doesn't have to hold back at all really. and h

well john hendren joins us now live from cleveland ohio the city where the debate was held john many were expecting donald trump to be under pressure over coronaviruses damming personal finances ahead of this debate but he's managed to deflect attention again by refusing to condemn white supremacy. he has done what he does best he is deflected all of the accusation never really answered that question on white supremacy and then turned the tables on joe biden his strategy seemed to be to befuddle biden with constant interruptions playing into the narrative that biden is beyond his prime and biden's strategy seemed to be to try to be the adult in the room with a plan on coronavirus and on returning civility to government but when trump was not befuddling biden he was making accusations that were designed seemingly to draw the ire of the former vice president such as attacking his son hunter saying he was thrown out of the military for drug use biden said that was untrue but he acknowledged that his son had a drug problem which he has joked with he said this is like many people in ameri

so we'll return to cleveland ohio that's where the u.s.president donald trump is just about to face off his democratic rival joe biden in their 1st of 3 presidential debates that taking place in about 9 minutes time or so when the 2 candidates will get a chance to challenge each other on 6 main issues including the coronavirus pandemic the economy as well as race related violence that is a live shot from cleveland where that debate is expected to start at a 100 hours g.m.t. just under 8 minutes time before we cross of the debate let's get some analysis with henry paulson he's a columnist at the washington post and a senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center he's joining us from virginia so you specifically mr henry also and you wrote about 3 tough questions that biden needs to answer at this debate in opinion please know i won't go through you through the 3 questions just for the sake of time but you specifically singled out the issue of race relations what do you what will you be watching out for when it comes to this issue fro

well john hendren as life from the city where the debate was held that's cleveland ohio john joins us now if you were watching that 90 minutes of chaos there john to talk about it but let's start with the coronavirus what's your analysis of the way the c. candidates handled that quite serious topic. that was one of the rare coherent moments in a brawl over debate if there was one subject did joe biden want to get in that was it his whole. driving force is to show the nation that he would do better on the coronavirus and he. essentially asked people how they would feel about it he pointed out that the united states has 4 percent of the global population and 20 percent of the coronavirus debts president trump is mentioned he said he would do a better job as you just heard there but. the nation already has a strong view of the coronavirus and generally all the polls show that they trust joe biden on coronavirus over president trump they don't trust him more on everything not on the economy on that they give trump a small edge but this was where biden was doing well coming into this debat

let's go live to cleveland, ohio, where tomorrow's debate will he held, and join our north america editorial elections, there is a thing called the october surprise, the event that comes out of the blue and upends things. well, it's arrived a few days early. as well as the income tax disclosures, it seems according to the new york times that donald trump has personal debts of $400 million, and as well as that, he wrote off against tax 70,000 for the payment of hairdressers and head of tv appearances. willjoe biden seek to ta ke appearances. willjoe biden seek to take advantage of it? you bet he will. there's nothing quite like it. 0ne—to—one combat, the red and blue corners, two fighters looking to land a knockout blow. and donald trump's taxes and what he did and didn't pay have opened up again as a line of attack. 0n the eve of this televised debate, his tax return is once again a burning issue. it's totally fake news. made up, fake. maybe he's not as rich as he says. four years ago, hillary clinton thought she had him pinned down on this very topic. or maybe he doesn't want the america

bring in john hendren he is joining us from the city where the debate will be held that's in cleveland ohio so 2 hours from now john as we're saying just look at the strategies what are the strategies of the 2 man going into this debate. what we can expect donald trump to be on the attack he's the one lagging in the polls so he's going to want to mix up the dynamic he's going to want people to leave this debate saying wow joe biden messed up or donald trump made some good points for by who he is likely to play a much safer role he's the guy who's been ahead in the polls he's been campaigning largely from his delaware home recently getting out a little more but he's going to he's going up against a dangerous potent because donald trump in the words of. aid is going up against a chimp with a machine gun somebody using unpredictable and dangerous and that's what yo biden is going to face president trump wants to mix this up you know there are 6 topics for this debate all of them chosen by the moderator chris. wallace of fox news but the new york times injected a 7th earlier this week when it d
