the person to ask if he's going to run is dr. jill biden, but he is a wonderful person. their late son was an american hero whom we all miss and we would all certainly understand if -- >> who would your mom endorse between the vice president and hillary clinton? >> you'd have to ask her. my bet is that she'll vote for the democratic nominee and will be excited to work with the 45th president of the united states, who will be a democratic. >> as donald trump would say, you are so political in california. joining us tonight, i thank you both for being with us. >> saving the great wall of china. more than a thousand years of wear and tear taking its toll on the man made wonder. the problem, can it be saved? >> up next on aljazeera america, 100 women getting ready to walk 100 miles. they want to raise awareness for immigration issues ahead of the pope's visit. we'll talk to one of the women who is getting ready to make that long journey. >> one of the man made wonders of the word is slowly disincident gritting, 30% of the great wall of china no longer exists because of expos

. >> and what is intriguing over the weekend, s.e., is the spokesman for joe biden is that dr. jill biden said she would be on board if her husband decides to run for president of the united states, and normally, a signal, yeah, he is going to run. >> and it is a big deal for biden who as you know going through the family strife, and the death of his son, beau, and so it is a big deal that jill is sort of giving her okay to go to do what is a arduous year and a half for a guy who is going to be 74 when he is sworn in if he ends up winning, and so it is a more meaningful in joe biden's case that jill biden is coming out to say, this is okay. so i think that he is going to be probably going to run, and we will probably hear from him by the end of the month. >> and some people think that he will be there by the next cnn debate in october 13th, and wouldn't it be smart for him to join before then then? >> and i think that preparing for the debate unless you are donald trump, it is arduous. >> well, he is a senator for 6 1/2 years, and he should be ready to debate the other democrats. >>

chuck todd also tells us that despite recent reports suggesting otherwise, the vice president's wife dr. jill biden is fully behind another run. a spokesperson for dr. biden released a statement that reads in part, of course dr. biden would be on board if her husband decides to run for president. but they have not made that decision yet." but in a new interview done thursday, and released just this morning, vice president said he is still not there yet. >> we're just not, you know, just not quite there yet and it may not get there in time to make it feasible to be able to run and succeed because there are certain windows that will close. but if that's it, that's it. >> the "wall street journal report"ed this weekend the vice president's aides have called donors an supporters in recent days suggesting he is more likely than not to enter the race. with the biden decision looming over her campaign, new positive news for hillary clinton. she's shown now at 42% gaining five points in the past week and senator bernie sanders slipping several points. clinton does even better without the vice preside

dr. jill biden released a statement saying she would be on board if her husband decides to run for president. president biden has not made any formal announcement yet about his intention, but there is much speculation. the deadline to submit a bid for the presidency is november 5th. >>> san francisco giants announcer and former pitcher to interest giants mike krukow has committed decades to the fans. and now he is asking for their support. today krukow took to the field at a at&t to talk about inclusion body myostitis. he was decisioned nine years ago but now he is speaking publicly about it. it causes aggressive muscle weakness in the legs and hands. doctors don't know what cause it. they don't know how to treat it. he said today he is continuing his fight alongside fellow patients. >> we want to just basically let you know that we're here. we're the group. we support one another. and we're looking for your support adds well. >> and mr. krukow got some signs of support today. the crowd respon

obama presidency, with the president and first family plus the first catholic vice president and dr. jill biden greeting pope francis. it made for an unprecedented welcome to the u.s. >> it is a big deal. i think it's because since it is the pope's first time in the united states, what better way to welcome him than greet him as soon as he touches the ground here in the united states? >> reporter: day two will be a sight to behold. 15,000 visitors are expected to cram on to the white house south lawn to witness the pope's official arrival. after the president greets the pope, the two leaders will speak to the world then hold a one-on-one meeting with only translators in the room. all before pope francis addresses congress thursday with biden in attendance. even though the president and pope are allies on issues ranging from climate change to income inequality to cuba, even the iran nuclear deal, the white house refuses to reveal what the two men will discuss. >> the president will not arrive at that meeting with a political agenda. >> reporter: perhaps because this pope can be full of sur

what is also significant is that his team is officially knocking down reports that his wife dr. jillht not be on board and they say of course she is going to support him if he decides to run that's a big if. in an interview just out today, the vice president said he's undecided and sources saying he's very much grappling with the loss of his son beau and been vocal about n. terms of a time line, no word yet but certainly time is getting tight and that first big democratic debate slated for october 13th and by all indications we might know more by then and in terms of the poll, the clinton camp liking what they see today watching vice president biden and monitor the situation closely. take a look at the poll numbers showing secretary clinton increasing the lead among democrats nationally 42% of the vote compared to sand erps getting 24% of the vote. that's what vice president biden in the race is 22%. look at what happens if vice president biden isn't in the race, her lead jumps to 57% compared to sander who is gets 28%. she is going to be campaigning here in arkansas, of course, form

states, right there you see him just approaching the vice president joe biden along with his wife dr. jill biden. philadelphia mayor michael nutter there as well. just take a moment to let this sink in. and father kesicki, as he does walk up the stairs onto shepherd one, what would you say to all of us about carrying forward husband message and as he departs? >> it's summed up in the name he chose. he chose francis. preach and if necessary say words. we might not remember every word pope francis said but we'll remember what he preached. that should fill us with great hope. >> you think that's the pilot? i would be nervous. >> i think that is the pilot. what a responsibility to carry the pope back. >> that's a big responsibility. >> to rome. as we watch pope francis board shepherd one, where we're told he will hold a press conference with journalists. our rosa flores is on board. you'll want to tune in to "new day" tomorrow morning. you will hear everything that he said aboard that plane from her. quick break. we're back on the other side. ♪ (vo) making the most out of every mile. that's wh

you heard dr. jill biden saying that she is supporting him in a possible run.that happens, it shakes up the whole thing, and south carolina becomes a question heart attack. jon: if joe biden does get into that race, hillary clinton's support falls, as we mentioned in the lead-in. he comes in in this latest poll with 32% against -- 22% against bernie sanders 34%. that suggests they're essentially drawing from the same pool of democratic faithful, right? >> definitely. and, you know, we've seen a number of reports about money, and of the early bundlers for the obama campaign some 50 of them are signed on to hillary clinton, but there are about 700 of them. so i think there's a lot of, a lot of people waiting to see what happens in this democratic race before really committing. jon: let's talk about the republican side. donald trump, support for donald trump seems to be fading after the last debate. what do you make of what's happened to donald trump's numbers? >> well, just a caveat in that, you know, it's this one poll, the cnn poll, that has him dropping some b

admirer and the reason he is coming here along with the first lady, vice president biden, jill biden, dr. jill biden, to greet this pope. to show him the respect that he feels for him. something that is rare. he rarely comes here for any other reason you know, brian, to get on air force one or get off on the way to or from from some trip. there are others who will be here, as well. terry mcauliffe, the virginia governor, larry hogan, the maryland governor and a poignant visit having been diagnosed with cancer and d.c. mayor bowser all three of them by the way graduates of catholic high school. of course, catholic dignitaries will be here. cardinals and bishops. maybe you can hear a band started playing. that is high school band from a maryland catholic high school. as well, that's been some practicing of military honor guard and all in all for such a big occasion, a pretty small welcome not a lot of pomp and circumstance. this is the pope who everyone remembers after he was elected pope decided to get on the bus with the rest of the cardinals and gained worldwide popularity with the humility a

in addition the vice president and first lady, dr. jill biden, their grandchildren, some of them.he ambassador of the united states to the holy see will be there. and all along the way, we mentioned this security challenge. it's fascinating to me to just think about it in the main that the secret service of the united states is just about the only group that can tell the president of the united states what to do, can tell foreign dignitaries what to do. the president of another country comes, they are overseeing him, they can tell him what to do. the pontiff comes, he's a head of state, yet the secret service cannot tell him what to do and where to go and when to go. they just have to roll with it. >> that's right. it's a little bit tricky. this is a pope who very much engages with the population and very much engages with the population that's not the establishment. so he's not going to follow the establishment rules. he's very keen to visit neighborhoods and visit individuals. he has written that the church should be quote, bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on t
