following numbers of the international energy agency the united states saw the largest incline and energyated co2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis. this point is correct, we have to say. brent: very good. the u.s. president praised his administration's response to the pandemic in that speech today. let's take a listen to what he said about the u.s. and his handling of the crisis. president trump: in the united states we launch the most aggressive mobilization since the second world war. we rapidly produced a record supply of ventilators, creating a surplus that allowed us to share them with friends and partners all around the globe. brent: that biggest mobilization by the u.s. since the second world war. is that true? >> well, we know this claim already as trump tends to praise his management of the crisis, but again, this is not true. we all remember the first weeks of the outbreak in the u.s. the country was not prepared for this virus and for example, and new york governor cuomo was asking for help and for more ventilators, 30,000 to be precise. but received just 400. the governor

the international energy agency say we have six months to act and that was two months ago. a green recovery from this pandemic, we could see a high spike of co2 emissions moving forward. i just feel like i have to be out here. we delayed our action in spring already and are taking necessary precautions, as i said. so this is just the time to act, the time to act is now and we need to support the climate ecological emergency bill and do everything we can to see the next much bigger wave, the climate ecological mountain. which is the climate ecological emergency. when the pandemic again, even now, it is the thing that has grabbed the attention of all of us around the world. has it shifted energies away from the climate emergency? it is a great question, philippa. you know, i think this is probably the first time in human history where the whole of the planet's population have been on a collective consciousness with a common threat, and i really feel like it has exposed our human vulnerabilities and it has given a lot of people time for reflection as such a tragedy that we nee

reduced its carbon emissions by more than any country in the world falling numbers of the international energy agency but the us are far away to have the lowest carbon emission in the world by capita several statistics such as the world bank show that the us are among the countries with the highest carbon emissions per capita so i think greater to a book would agree with the president in this point that he's doing a phenomenal job ok another topic getting a lot of attention is trump's claim that mail in voting is going to result in massive fraud this is what he had to say on that topic. there's fraud they found him in pricks they found some with the name trump just happen to have the name trump just the other day in a waste paper basket they have being sent all over the place they sent to in a democratic area they set out a 1000 ballots everybody got 2 ballots this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen. so is that true or is there evidence is the reason to believe that there will be huge voter fraud because of mail in voting no we can't see them on our team check this claim and we think it's
