there's time for them to jump into this race we're going to see a lot of contrast between joe biden and elizabeth warren. there's two lanes, a progressive lane and a pragmatic lane. joe biden trying to make the argument of electability, that he's the strongest to take on trump. but there's a sign that elizabeth warren has been rising throughout the summer. the biden campaign has been telegraphing that he is going to raise questions about senator warren's plans. look for medical for all to be front and center in this debate. also look for the other candidates to have their say, as well. cory booker, amy klobuchar, and mayor buttigieg, showing he is a top-tier candidate. >> jeff zeleny, thanks for that. 2 supreme court clearing the way for the trump administration to restrict asylum seekers at the border. the rule limits central americans to claim asylum if they had v not sought protections in another country on the way to the u.s. justices sonia society mayor descented. the aclu will continue to challenge the rule. >>> president trump is considering mike pompeo for a second full-time job, replacing john

joe biden keeping the clash with joe biden for. a leader appear even but there are other candidates besides and joe biden and elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. some of the smaller at candidates were expected to a maybe a goal a more after at joe biden and then at the two. leading our progressives because they really need a breakthrough moment in at this debate a breakthrough moment showing that. they are still in thehe race of the are a viable option and that and this democratic race is not. limited to those three and big names joe biden elizabeth warren and bernie sanders i'm thinking for example. of come on harris who hahad gone very harshly after je biden inn a previous. ad debabae who might want to try andd that again but this time they'll be hoping that. if they do go afafter joe biden it will stake because in the prerevious at the base.. of ththose breakthrough moments they last a long after that. and. a good study a correspondent that in washington. a freight train derailed in southeastern democratic republic of congo it's known. that many have been killed mostly illegal passengers who were riding on the train. on the outside

everyone is concerned about the matchup between elizabeth warren and joe biden, about the matchup betweenarren andjoe biden, but about the matchup between elizabeth warren and joe biden, but i don't think it will be crazy. warren, as you know, is a very prepared woman. if he gets attacked, as we expect my from joe biden, she if he gets attacked, as we expect my fromjoe biden, she won't if he gets attacked, as we expect my from joe biden, she won't take the debate and after her exchange with trump, people want to figure out what she does when she gets attacked. i hope she stays steady and stays on message and stays on her plans and how she's going to get this done. but how does bernie exist in this place? he is seen in some places rising and some places falling, people will wonder whether he will evolve and come up with things, i wrote a speech for that, he will say, and see if he digs into some of these plans that take on questions about paying for some of this stuff, which we know we can, we'll see what happens there. the bigger second question is you could get a castro, harris, cory boo

this will be the first time that top contenders joe biden and elizabeth warren have gone head to head. >> reporter: good evening. joe biden will come into this debate with the strongest candidate. e hiswet warren the-- elizabeth will try to defend her plans. >> reporter: they are side by side sharing a debate stage. joe biden and bernie sanders have faced off once already, all eyes are on biden and e hiswliz eyes are on biden and e hiswlia warren. he plans to question whether warren will be able to deliver on her proposals. >> but executing is a different thing. >> reporter: warren has been imploring democrats to choose big. >> ke within the choose a candidate we don't believe in because we're scared. we can't ask other people to vote for someone we don't believe in. >> reporter: calling for a major expansion of social security to increase benefits by $200 per person and expand benefits for the poor. she would require the wealthiest americans to attribute more to the program. warren is calling for sweep changes to health care and other government programs. it's a revolution that biden

talked to a lot of candidates, but so many people tonight are going to be focused on joe biden and elizabeth warren right next to him. we've seen her rising in the polls. there is a lot at stake tonight. >> reporter: david, for the first time here, they before side-by-side. joe biden is arguing that he can build upon president obama's legacy, while elizabeth warren is calling for fundthal change to the way washington works. tonight, that divide will be front and center. stage? >>ean wait. mary bruce leading us off, thank you. >>an jus a short ago, presidenp sai he will o he thinks is the toughest contender right now on democratic correspondent jonathan karl with what the president just said. >> reporter: one person who says he'll be watching tonight, president trump. >> it's going to be very interesting. i look forward to going home, i'm going to have to watch it as a rerun. they have all their weaknesses and their strengths. i think that they're very different. you certainly have a lot of different voices up there, but it would look to me like it would be elizabeth warren and it looks like joe may

will there be fireworks as joe biden and elizabeth warren go head to head for the first time?. safety officials report a lapse in oversight in

so we'll get to see a match up for the first time between joe biden and elizabeth warren. talk about joe biden. he's still going to be a top target because he's a clear front-runner. he may be on defense over his gaffes, misstatements, his record. elizabeth warren will also be a target. she's been rising in polls. we're seeing more momentum. big crowds at some of her recent events. importantly, no one really landed a punch on elizabeth warren in the first two debates. now we'll see biden and warren going head-to-head. a clash between the progressive vision that elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are pushing. and the more pragmatic return to normalcy vision that joe biden is selling. we expect that biden is going to argue that democrats need more than plans to win. they need someone who can get things done and who has proven they can do so by pointing to accomplishments. that more than plans line is seen as a swipe at warren who has made a name for herself as someone who has a plan for everything. we'll also be watching to see if the two progressives on stage, warren and b

>> there is so much talk about joe biden and elizabeth warren being in the same space. they have so much of an interesting history, john, going back to when elizabeth warren was appearing. even before she came to the senate, she was going after senator biden on democracy, bills and so much else. the biden campaign has already been telegraphing that they are going to go after her plans. they're going to say, how can you pay for these plans? is that realistic? that is the central argument, the central plan of the biden campaign. i'm curious to see if he'll be as tough as some of his advisers have been. >> that's a great point. and on behalf of senator warren, i think she's increasingly shown she's a really tactile politici politician, and we've seen how she handles joe biden. it hasn't necessarily been dealt with well by other candidates. the other thing i'm really interested in is that senator warren has been increasingly presenting this electability environment on the campaign trail. she made the announcement in new hampshire over the weekend that voters shouldn't just

joe biden beats him by 15 points, elizabeth warren just 7 points. en will say i'm more electable but elizabeth warren will say, hey, that's not so bad. who has the best chance to beat the president? 42% say joe biden, 12% say elizabeth warren. favorability ratings. this is just among democratic voters and democratic leaners. elizabeth warren in january, 53% to 76% for the vice president. now equal if you factor in the margin of error, elizabeth warren clearly. among favorability, the more democrats see her, the more they like her. that's good. that makes her a growth stock as a candidate. let's look at some subgroups important in the democratic race. among progressives elizabeth warren gets better ratings. the vice president has an advantage among moderates. again, if you're elizabeth warren newer to the national stage and a growth stock, that's not a bad number. they tie essentially. elizabeth warren has a slight lead among voters who make more than 50 grand. among white non-college voters, some people think of that as part of the trump base, they r

presidential hopefuls going head to head in texas for a 3rd primary debate the front runners joe biden elizabeth warren and bernie sanders in the debate stage for the 1st time immigration and gun laws are expected to be a major focus the u.n. says more than 2000000 people face starvation in somalia and it's calling on the world to act before it's too late countries experiencing its driest rainy season in more than 3 decades. saddam's new prime minister is in south sudan for his 1st official state visit he wants to improve relations between the neighbors but he's also there to for talks with armed groups have been fighting the government in khartoum for years forecasters warn a tropical cyclone could hit parts of the bahamas already battered by hurricane dorian 1300 people are still missing that number dropped from around 2500 after government checks and evacuation centers 50 people have been confirmed dead but that number is expected to rise. as agreed to pay another half a $1000000000.00 in taxes to france the payment ends a 4 year investigation into the u.s. tech giant the french government is pushin

it shows joe biden, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders with double digit support. thursday night we'll see joe biden and elizabeth warren for the first time appearing on the same debate stage. a lot of folks will be watching that dynamic. nbc's reporter garrett haake has made his way to houston. what can we expect tomorrow night, buddy? >> reporter: we've got the first time we'll see all three front-runners at center stage. joe biden flanked on either side by more progressive rivals. i don't know whether we'll see fireworks between the three of them. all three campaigns are putting cold water on the idea they'll mix it up directly, throwing those verbal haymakers at each other. the lanes are still fairly separate. warren and sanders have been ideologically aligned, have not gone after each other yet. whether there's contrast here, it will be between biden's more pragmatic approach on a number of issues and warren and sanders calling for big structural change. you look at the democratic field and those three are, by and large, the leaders across the early states. whe

the three front runners — joe biden, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders — are all in their 705.nger candidates have failed to have much impact in the campaign so far. more than 140 bushfires are already raging across parts of australia, an unusually early start to the annual fire season. experts say they are fuelled by strong winds and a prolonged drought. and this video is trending on bbc.com. it's the world's biggest construction crane, which has just started work at the hinkley point nuclear power plant currently being built in western england. it's called big carl and can lift 5,000 tonnes at a single time. that's all. stay with bbc world news. you can find more background and analysis on all our top stories on the bbc news website. just log on to bbc.com/news or download the bbc news app on your mobile device. and now on bbc news, we cross live to singapore for asia business report. all the details as the european central bank cuts a key interest rate deeper into negative territory stop afg hanistan‘s pet rate deeper into negative territory stop afghanistan's pet economy. w

it's probably going to be the three by the end, you know, it's going to be elizabeth warren, eve elizabeth warren and joe biden. that attention between older establishment white politician and newer -- and the newer -- >> who isn't a -- >> bernie sanders doesn't qualify for that, except being so progressive and warren. that's going to be the fundamental tension. i still think, despite the flashpoint, how you're going to pay for this kind of health care, i didn't think we saw the elizabeth warren/joe biden matchup that people were expecting. >> you know what i think part of that is a function of, i want your take on this, sabrina, it's easy to say they're going to go at it. when you are standing next to somebody, it is different than talking about them. looking them in the face and saying all the things that you said about me is not as easy. no matter how hungry you are. it's always a little more muted. they said john yang was going to do something tonight that nobody's ever done before andrew yang. what was that? >> the candidates, time and again, it's best not to tell them your attack before the debate. looki

wall street journal poll that was released on wednesday that says joe biden and elizabeth warren both gained ground since july and this is after the last debate any surprises chris. well it's it is surprising to me how quickly bernie sanders the story has been dropping and i i really thought camel harris after the 1st debate would rise more than she has and she's now completely fallen off the map as well i think what you see is it's become a 2 person race between joe biden and elizabeth warren and the question is does it remain so there is i think you really have a couple of lanes right now you have kind of the left of center moderate lane that joe biden is occupying and you have sort of the far left of center socialist lane which will lose warren is occupying there's only room for one person in that socialist lane and it's kind of between warren and sanders now is does biden stumble and i really believe the attacks from who in castro in the last debate helped joe biden and it probably created a situation where he's had a little bit of a false inflation a sugar high if you will and th

debate in houston texas is the 1st time that the frontrunners former vice president joe biden and senators elizabeth warren and betty saunders have shared the same stage health care was the major focus of the debate and the candidate that challenging joe biden. if you lose your job for instance his his health care plan would not automatically enroll you you would have to opt in my health care plan war that's a big difference i'm fulfilling fulfilling the legacy of brock obama and you're not i'll be surprised to hear. andrea. this is why financial about its are becoming on watchable yeah when it's reminds everybody of what they cannot stand about washington or in points against each other each other and tell each other that you're my plan your plan look we all that's called a democratic primary election battle that's going to let's go right. to the border or to the action. the u.n. says more than 2000000 people face starvation in somalia and has called on the world to act immediately the country is experiencing its driest rainy season in more than 3 decades. forecast as a warning a tropical cyclon could be

ali following elizabeth warren's campaign, mike covering joe biden, and garrett has new reporting fromide pete buttigieg and beto o'rourke's campaigns. ali, big question, will elizabeth warren give joe biden hell tonight? what are you hearing? >> if your idea of hell is a policy centric debate, then maybe. because in talking to the warren campaign, they're comfortable with putting this on terms of talking about policy, talking about her plans, and talking about her personal narrative. they're not here for a boxing match. they're here to continue playing their game. but we know that maybe it's to the going to come in the form of attacks, but there are contrasts to be drawn between these two candidates at the center of the stage. joe biden and elizabeth warren. you mentioned they sparred over certain issues in the past, bankruptcy, the credit card industry. she took him sort of under toe 1994 crime bill she wanted to repeal the bulk of. today she came out with a social security expansion plan. she's coming out with a plan on the morning of the debate, but it could sort of show us where s

eve ryone's concerned about the matchup between elizabeth warren and joe biden, but i don't think it razy as you think. warren, as you know, is a very prepared woman. if she gets attacked, as we expect my from joe biden, she won't take the bait. after her exchange with trump, people want to figure out what she does when she gets attacked. i hope she stays steady and stays on message and stays on her plans and how she's going to get this thing done. the interesting this will be how does bernie exist in this place? he is seen in some places rising and some places falling, people will wonder whether he will evolve and come up with things, "i wrote a speech for that," he will say, and see if he digs into some of these plans that take on questions about paying for some of this stuff, which we know we can. we'll see what happens there. the bigger second question is you could get a julian castro, kamala harris, cory booker, they all need big moves today but what does that look like? what about electability, the polling shows that people going into the debate, they want someone electable and

many will need to breakthrough with voters who so far are sticking to what they know, like joe biden, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders who warmed up the convention crowd with bread-and-butter issues . >> we believe if you work 40 hours a week in this country you should not live in poverty, we are going to raise that minimum wage to a living wage, 15 bucks an hour. >> then an outsider candidate he pulled off a big win in new hampshire over hillary clinton, four years ago. his campaign is now betting big that this time new hampshire will fault him to the nomination. >>> closures at san francisco airport are causing a huge headache for travelers. why some folks had to get off their plane and onto a bus . >>> safety experts are weighing in on the dive boat tragedy. the latest on the investigations, coming up. it's time for the biggest sale of the year on a sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help keep us asleep? yes, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed now only $899. plus 0% interest for 24-months on all beds. ends sund

bernie sanders to 50% plus one, who is sitting on more future bernie sanders supporters, joe biden or elizabeth warren a good question. a lot of research suggests that joe biden has a lot of working class support. and what we believe is that people become more and more familiar with joe biden's record, that toes working class voters will move to senator sanders. because of the policies that joe biden has supported, the middle class in this country is a lot smaller than it should be. >> what is your theory as to why it is three he candidates scandd other that dominate the field? >> i think that you have three -- in many bways very strong candidates, they represent different views within the party. and i think there are only so many lanes in the race. and of the three that we've talked about, sanders, warren and biden really occupy most of that space. so leaves less opportunity for lesser known and lesser funded candidates to break through. senator sanders did it in 2015. but that is a very difficult thing to do generally. >> and especially he only had to have four people in this way. a lot tougher with

this is joe biden and elizabeth warren. can warren, who has steadily climbed over the summer, pass joe biden in the weeks and ,nths ahead going into io and can joe biden stay up there? his poll numbers continue to drop ever so slightly. sanders, the same. he is dropping, he is much like trump, hhas a base of people who will stay with him the whole time, but prty much parked in third. elizabeth warren is the person to watch to see if she cano become the front runner anytime in the next few wes. nada: mary anne marsh, thank you very much. mary anne: thank you. nada: in the past few hours, a judge in boston has sentenced felicity huffman to 14 days in prison.is the actress admitted to paying a college consultant thousands of dollars s alter her daughter' university admissions score. she is the fst person to be punished in the broader scandal involving dozens of wealthy parents and $25 million in bribes. in a statement, huffman said " accept the court's decision without reservation," adding, "there are no justifications for my a

care system and gun laws with major themes this is the 1st time that the 3 frontrunners joe biden elizabeth warren and bernie sanders share the same stage the u.n. says more than 2000000 people face starvation in somalia is calling on the world to act immediately the country is experiencing its driest rainy season in more than 3 decades. the new places to stick since south africa say a woman is raped every 36 seconds that's why many people in johannesburg of got up in the middle of the night to protest. against gender based violence there accusing the government of not dealing with the properly president graham opposer has admitted south africa is facing a crisis of violence against women and has promised new laws been go live now to johannesburg and our correspondent who's at that demonstration for me jim miller so the situation is very bad how many people behind you have gathered to protest protest against what even the president is calling a crisis. well martin we're looking at a few 100 people that have gathered at the johns book stock exchange wanting corporate south africa businesses in this

immigration law a major themes in this the debate it was the 1st time the frontrunners joe biden elizabeth warren and bernie sanders shared the same stage prop reynolds was there. there were relatively few moments of any high drama during this debate here in use then it seems unlikely that the status of the 3 front runners former vice president joe biden senator bernie sanders and senator elizabeth warren will be changed by what has happened here there were some sharp moments of exchanges and disagreements particularly over the issue of health care where there are real differences between the candidates very plans for providing universal coverage for all people in the united states there was a moment when former cabinet secretary leon castro provoked gasps from the crowd when he seemed to question 76 year old biden's memory saying did you just forget something that you said only 2 minutes ago and biden seemed to be taken aback from by that. former congressman bates or rourke got cheers from the crowd when he talked about gun control and about banning assault weapons saying hell yes we are going t

you've seen that divide form between the top tier elizabeth warren, sanders and joe biden and sort of the rest of the field. i think, you know, kevin hit the nail on the head. those individuals sort of part of that second tier group are really going to have to do something big or really get themselves, sort of the momentum to sort of try to get into that top tier and it's really an open field i think when you look at those in terms of who might be able to make that jump. >> give me names, though? who do you think performed the best, abigail, and who didn't give themselves any favors thursday? >> i absolutely think elizabeth warren. she's continued to sort of have a consistency you've seen across the three debates. andrew yang continues to impress a bit. beto o'rourke had really important moments in the debate, you kind of saw the old beto. the one we game familiar with during his senate run. i think he kind of had those viral moments or those moments where he seemed to be connecting in a way we didn't necessarily see especially during the first debate but even during the second debate

have to be a little concerned about elizabeth warren's central organizing principle, which i think was stated amiably here, admirably, which is essentially that joe biden wants to rebuild the barack obama coalition, which is tested elizabeth warren can create a new coalition from low-propensity voters. young people are low-propensity voters. >> what does that mean >> they don't always show up they say they're going to show up, and not always do they they did in 2018 they might in 2020 donald trump is the organizing principal there. that might work. i feel in the press a sense that there is inevitable momentum for elizabeth warren, that the trajectory for her is preordained -- >> why, because everyone's focusing on her? >> i feel there's a lot of focus on her when we have a poll out of iowa today that shows joe biden up, every poll in new hampshire in september shows joe biden up he is prohibitive in south carolina he is doing very well in nevada. and after that is super tuesday, which is california, texas, massachusetts, all these places with really big media markets, so you can do a lot of selfies, but you have to play in houston, you have to play in

says, if biden makes mistakes and commits gaffes on the campaign trail, does it have much of an impact? >> that's also why he is not going after elizabeth warren. also it doesn't seem like a joeiden thing to do. the liberal base, all of that matters when it comes to turnout. of course the ongoing question in this early stage in the selection is once you get a nominee, whoever is running against donald trump, are democrats going to turn out in the highest numbers or in kind of like the numbers in some of the plates where it mattered the last time around, you know? and the thing that i think -- that i'm concerned about and looking forward to in this debate, the format, it is still a crowded stage. it may not allow for what we want to see, which is the deep differences among the candidates. but also that back and forth. the ongoing sustained back and forth, which is like how does elizabeth warren deal with biden? how does biden deal with those two? if you add up sanders support and warren support, they actually give joe biden quite a run for his money. but they both can't emerge. so it will break at some point. i don't know if it will be sooner or later. >> yeah. and it will be
