for more let's bring in david brown he's an astronomer at the university of warwick thanks for being with us dr brown 1st of all tell us why is this mission so important what we hope to learn good morning well this is a primordial asteroid we think it hasn't changed very much since the beginning of the solar system since the start the song on the planets will formed so by studying it we hope to learn a little bit more about those early stages of the solar system and how. involved are ruined forms and how the different planets and different parts of the solar system have interacted with each other through time. ok this mission we're talking about a 4 year journey just getting there 300000000 kilometers away and the mission is only halfway through what's the trickiest part of all this. well thankfully the toughest part the trickiest part was the one that was completed last night was the touch and grab maneuver this had to be done completely remotely because of the time to lie and in receiving signals from the athlete to the spacecraft. and because of the surface of the asteroid being a

more on this let's bring in david brown an astronomer at the university of warwick thanks for being with us dr brown 1st of all tell us why is this mission so important. good morning as a couple of main reasons really for this mission being so such a big landmark and the 1st is that bennett is a prime mortal objects we think it hasn't changed the origin of the solar system since the planets were formed so by studying this asteroid we can really learn a lot about the earth its formation and how the solar system has interacted through history and the other reason is that there is a very low chance but a chance nonetheless that benu will have some close encounters with the ethnic future. great talking centuries in the future so by learning more about it we can study those potential and close encounters and see see how likely they lie might truly be. if you're still with us we have seem to lost you there for a moment we're talking about a 4 year journey good to hear you a 4 year journey for 300000000 kilometers and the mission is only half way through what's the trickiest part of this missio

joins know, david brown us today, and i can tell you that all of these people were diligently -- worked diligently to do what we always aspired to do. that is to provide a fair and independent rating within the timeframe established by the senate judiciary committee. to be a nominee to the supreme court one must possess exceptional professional qualifications, and as such, our investigation of a nominee to the supreme court is much more extensive than that for other federal courts. in addition to the usual approach of having a lead evaluator conduct and report on the nominee, every member of the committee from his or her own circuit conducts a separate evaluation, which is given to us. second, while the committee members review the writings and opinions of the nominee, we engage academic reading groups. distinguishedo professors from the law schools of mississippi and belmont universities and a third professional reading group that had supreme court practitioners and courts among the others. -- clerks among the others. they read the opinions and writings of the nominee and independently

what do you plan to do to combat the highly disproportionate incarceration rate of black and brown people, david letterman goes first. >> zuckerman: a number of things need to be done here. it includes looking at our education system where we disproportionately detain communities of color at rates of 4 to 1. we need to look towards law enforcement training and bias in how they approach situations as we pull over and check brown and black individuals in our state as they are driving down the highway, suspicious for simply driving while being black, we need to look at policies where they are getting rid of cash bail, people incarcerated particularly those who don't have the money and we had a systemic economic policy in the country, don't have as much resources to pay those sorts of bail. we have to look at our cannabis laws which i hope the governor will sign it, will remove 10,000 criminal records disproportionally affecting black and brown because of drug laws of the past. we need to review all of our laws in the criminal justice system to make sure they are not disproportionately affecting our

david gergen. jackie, from the daily best. a cnn political analyst and emergency physician at brown university and cnn medical analyst jonathan reiner, director of medicine at the university. david, let me start with you. why do you think vice president pence is on the campaign trail even as coronavirus in his circle spreads. >> the obsession of winning victory dwarfs everything else with this group. we've known that. you have to feel badly for the victims. this was not fair to them. even so, i think what's stunning to this, what the vice president is trying to do is keep the story tamped down. with 10 days left every day devoted to the pandemic is a day lost, a day squandered trying to do this comeback. what we have over the course of time, maybe five or six people close to -- in part of the biden circle have come down with covid whereas vice president pence, three dozen. it's a 6-1 ratio. can't everybody make a lot of meaning out of that? no wonder it's a big story. >> dr. reiner, we have learned at least two of these five people we know of infected with the coronavirus are his chief of staff and body man, somebody with him

david attenborough. i remember talking to schoolchildren and they said, ben brown, how long have you beenin said, ben brownd it‘s a good news we needed at the moment to cheer us up. i think all new channels should put this on a loop for 2h hours a day, just play again and again. —— read all news channels. we need good news with all the disasters going on, the terrible news about president trump and the spread of coronavirus in this country, just put them on all the time and everyone will feel good. white may call the alternative is we rerun this paper review on a loop. that would horrify people. not such a good idea. as ever, many thanks for being with us. we will be back at half past eleven for another look at the papers. goodbye for now. headline coming soon. stay tuned for that. hello there. we‘ve already seen a lot of rainfall this weekend and there is more wet weather to come through the day to day for a number of areas and those rainfall totals have been really mounting up over the past three days with gloucestershire having well over 11 month worth of rain and more than a month worth of rain and mor

david: ok, thank you for very much for joining us. professor lara brown of george washington university. now we turn to the men we always turn to, marty schenker, thank you so much. you and i, we have been through a fair amount of history. i have not seen this. i thought we had one october surprise in the passing of ruth bader ginsburg. it turns out we have at least two. marty: and who knows what what is to come because we have one month to go. this has been just extraordinary in terms of the news cycle. david: give us a sense of the white house approach to this. you have seen a number of white houses deal with different crises. we have a white house that has said first the president tweeting, i got this. we have his chief of staff mark meadows saying mild symptoms, no big problem. this afternoon, the white house physician says, he's got this drug and now he's in the hospital. at some point, don't they have to set up a way for briefing us in the press? the american people need to know what's going on. marty: they do. it is sort of ironic that because the

people said bill david cameron find it difficult to get along -- after having a strong relationship with gordon brownand they got along extremely well. i think most of the time the u.k. prime minister and the u.s. president will find a way to work it out. i would aim off for any predictions of difficult relationship over the next few years. press, orthe u.k. certain people in the you hate press -- in the u.k. press, say withthey are buying time e.u. because with a biden presidency, more concessions will be given in the e.u. because it is highly likely because they will get a better deal with the u.s. and the u.k. moving forward. is there any truth in that? rupert: i don't think so. i don't think the timing works. is e.u.-brexit deal will get done in the next few weeks and i don't think there will be enough smoke signals for a new president or for a reelection of president trump to guide those negotiations. the reality is, i think everybody close to this, a u.s.-u.k. trade deal will be determined largely by what congress signs up to, and that will not be hugely affected by this president. i don't thin

brown. that is my england 11, my bame ii to celebrate black history month. i reckon that site is good for winning or beating everyone. thank you. david been paid to the former wales wing jj williams, who's died at the age of 72. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. good evening. today's rain will ease away, leaving quite a lot of cloud as we go through the night, and some sharper showers across northwest scotland for a time, and in particular the parts of wales and southwest england. a very mild start to friday morning, though, widespread double digits across the country. and as we go through the day, the rain will slip its way out of wales and sit across the channel, allowing some sunshine to reach scotland, northern ireland, northwest england and north wales. and a mild afternoon with top temperatures of 17 celsius. more wet and windy weather set to arrive for the start of the weekend, with this significant area of low pressure bringing a spell of heavy rain and gales, or severe gales across exposed coast. the wet weather really quite intense for a time as it drifts its way steadily east, but a trail o

. >> brown: pollock also attended a workshop in new york led by david alfaro siquieros, who encouragedonventional techniques. >> doing things like, they would put canvas on the floor and throw paint splatter paint on it, throw things like cigarettes and pieces of wood on it. it liberated the idea of how you could make a painting. >> brown: an influence of style, but also subject matter, as here in a large painting by the american artist charles white. >> the idea that the muralists had presented indigenous rural population as being the bedrock of mexican identity... >> brown: changing mexican history gave him an idea. >> exactly. so, charles white, the idea that you would insert african americans into the sweep of american history, was something revolutionary. no one had ever done that. >> brown: back in mexico city, today's street art, where the influence of the past is still seen. >> they were trying to-- to make the common man appear on these works of art. and these street artists do the same. they bring, like, ordinary people out into the walls and they put their faces on them. so

david: ok. thank you so very much. lara brown, associate professor at george washington university. jeanne zaino and rick davis will be staying with us as we wait for the debate to start. the moderator has tabeler seat and the plexiglas selected by kamala harris the senator to make sure they are divided given what's going on with covid-19 over the last week or so. so rick, you said something about the 2000 election and may not want to go back to it but i will make one point. that's the only vice-presidential debate that outrated in the television ratings the presidentials that year and naffs sarah palin. so you know something about how to turn on a crowd that's for sure. rick: we certainly know how to create a little atmosphere for the public. and yeah, over 65 million people watched that debate. more than any of the presidential debates that year. and it was a good debate. i think both contestants comported tchelves well. and that was one of the successful vice-presidential debates. there have been many others. that i've been involved in like the al gore and jack kemp debate that w

david. thank you so much. we're joined by dr. ashish jha, dean of brown university's school of public health. dr.ha, always good to see you. lucky us, you're here on a day we need stuff to sort out. nobody better than this. we heard dr. birx say that it's up to the -- the future looks devastating right now. and i guess the question is i've heard it described as a dangerous tipping point. my question to you is, why is this happening, and why is it happening now? >> good morning, gayle. thank you for having me on. it's happening, i think, because people are getting tired of all the restrictions. and i think we're heading into colder weather where people are spending more time indoors. and people are letting their guard down. again, the things we've talked about in the past like mask wearing is very uneven. and put all of that together and we are seeing, i think, a dangerous acceleration of cases, hospitalizations and deaths. >> you heard the president say last night on "60 minutes" the reason why the number is so high is because we keep testing so much. does he have a point? >> you know, unfortunat

brown, cnn, washington. >> pamela, thank you very much. for more, now, on the drop box situation in ohio, i want to bring in david, he is the chairman of thety. thank you. appreciate you joining us. >> good to see you. thanks for having me. >> absolutely. so, here's what the secretary of state told my colleagues earlier today. i want to get your take on the other side of this. >> yep. >> we've made it more convenient than ever by requiring every county board of elections to have a secure, 24/7 drop box, but to expand it beyond that when it's not specifically called for in the law. it would be irresponsible, at this point, and would really cause confusion. >> so, how could having more drop boxes in ohio cause confusion? >> it wouldn't cause confusion. it would actually make voting easier. you know, this is a secretary of state who, when people started pushing for drop boxes months ago, he said, oh, he wanted more drop boxes but he didn't think the law allowed it. so, we went to court and said, of course, the law allows it. there wasn't one word in ohio law that said that you couldn't have more. we have, now, wanted multiple levels. every ju

upgrades to outperform and, again, david, it reminds you of the lurking cyclical trade which is sort of, like, the football, lucy's football in charlie browny time we think it is here, it stays a step back. they're talking about substantially improving results due to revenue growth from global, global growth acceleration, which sort of runs counter to the worries we see about the first quarter and fourth quarter which we know may be a difficult period from a global health standpoint. >> i know. it is funny, global health, of course, and 62,000 plus cases in the u.s. and we any what's going on in europe the idea if in fact there was a biden administration, if in fact the senate were to go democratic or even if not, the possibility of a large infrastructure bill is certainly one that is out there as well. and, carl, i guess, you know, may be something seen as a positive for the likes of caterpillar also >> yeah, i think the question too is what does that mean for the farming sector the current administration has been a big proponent of it you know, the farming sector took a big hit with the trade war. but they have been a proponent of variou

david, we're keeping an eye on the first family as they walk into the arena there. you're keeping tabs on the key races to watch. >> just as you heard pam brown explain the stakes tonight, especially for the president here, because we have two battleground states and a brand new poll from cnn in each of them that tells us how people are casting those early ballots. take a look in florida, jake. you see here among those who've already voted their vote is splitting 71% for biden, 27% for trump. plan to vote, meaning from tomorrow forward, 40% biden, 56% trump. so the stakes tonight, when you look at something like that, donald trump needs to win a much greater share of voters moving into this debate because joe biden is banking so much of the early vote already. anderson? >> let's go back to our team. david axelrod, i mean, what is going through candidates' minds before they step on the stage like this? >> you know, they basically are thinking of the things that they've been generally -- i don't know what the president does. most candidates who have prepped are thinking about those things that they want to hit, the cues that they're going to he

general david thompson along with chief master sergeant roger tall behrman senior enlisted leader of the space force and one of those newly sworn in brownu hear me? we have a slight delay for the folks at home. we apologize for that general thomps, could you tell us the future? >> can i hear you, thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. what's the future of the force. tell us about the program. >> absolutely. well the united states air force has been flying space for many years. because of the evolution of the threat and need to provide capability for forces in conflict. we are building a force that's going to continue to provide service face every single day at the same time we have to protect and defend them. that blue dot that you follow on your cell phone, g.p.s., we provide that every day. we provide missile warning. we provide satellite communications for our forces. we are going to continue to do that part of the new service and make sure we can do it even if someone attempts to take it away from us. brian: master sergeant, got to ask you this. this what's interesting is that usually you have transfers from the air force and now this
