come he says he wa nts to with thejoe biden come he says he wants to be there but what they wantwill have at the vice presidential debate apparently. it will not be the same kind of donald trump campaign that we have seen until now. even if he wa nted we have seen until now. even if he wanted to be. no indication that the vice presidential debate on wednesday, no indication from the vice presidents office that he is thinking he said quarantine given that he too was at that nomination celebration ceremony last saturday. the vice presidential team say the cdc guidelines show that he wasn't close enough to be extended exposure to anybody who had tested positive to anybody who had tested positive to the virus. but we did see him at that event, there were plenty of people at the event who did test positive. but he was heading out on the campaign trail today. he just left from andrews air force base to go out west to prepare for his debate in nevada, sorry, utah. he has a debate in nevada, sorry, utah. he hasa campaign debate in nevada, sorry, utah. he has a campaign rally on thursday

i want to complement thejoe biden is with him. him. i want to complement thejoe biden campaign for stepping down negative campaign ads and wishing him well, asking all of their surrogates to not be nasty and also be positive. that is a good sign for the country regardless of it is president trump's opponent. i think the nation needs to get behind the president of the united states. forget your feelings about him personally. this is a human being and he is our head of state. political critics have wished him well from across the spectrum and yet we have seen nancy pelosi and others point out that he has been seen by many as having a very lax attitude on the question of masks, social distancing. 200,000 attitude on the question of masks, social distancing. 200 , 000 people attitude on the question of masks, social distancing. 200,000 people in the us have lost their lives, millions have been infected, some will have very serious things afterwards. you cannot blame all those deaths on one man. donald trump did what he thought was best

thejoe biden —— when attractive and happens. the joe biden campaign —— when attractive and happens.ng that day. if a negative event is happening, in this case president trump and the first lady, melania trump, being diagnosed with covid. julia manchester, very interesting to get your thoughts. thank you for being with us. let's go now to portland to speak to dr esther choo, who's a professor of emergency medicine at oregon health & science university. welcome to you. thanks very much for being with us. tell us your thoughts on president trump being taken to the walter reed medical centre. it has been a really wild and fast—paced last 16 hours, not quite 16 hours, since we heard the first news of the diagnosis. and as much as we wa nt diagnosis. and as much as we want more details commit exactly progress pretty dramatically in this time period. we heard that he was tested positive but feeling perfectly fine and then we heard he was fatigued, and then there was a fever, and possibly some side sinus symptoms. big picture, that looks like a trajectory. we are getting a lot of reassuring

the donald trump event lasted an hour, thejoe biden one lasted 90 minutes, and then biden stuck around audience members there and they are very sort of sparsely placed obviously for covid reasons. and, a lot of the networks sort of picked this up and showed these pictures ofjoe biden. like, the whole event is finish but he is sort of carrying on chatting to people calmly. and i couldn't work out if it was one of the most sort of heart—warming thing i'd ever seen because the guy is clearly still trying to talk to these sort of a few voters in the room, or whether there was something a tiny bit desperate. you know, it is like, "don't you have a home you need to go now?" come on, everybody‘s leaving the auditorium. you can move on. he's a politician. he's a career politician, he's been doing this for 50 years. he likes gladhanding, that's been one of the things that he hasn't been able to really show off on this campaign is that he's a pretty good retail salesman for his politics. and so you got to see a little bit of it there but going into this race, traditionally in a reelection race,

i am going to encourage everybody i know to vote for the joe everybody i know to vote for thejoe biden. joe biden is another thing that is different this time around. hillary clinton found it difficult to make any significant inroads into the christian faith. but joe biden is a lifelong catholic and not afraid to use the language of faith.” catholic and not afraid to use the language of faith. i go to mass and i say the rosary, i find it to be incredibly comforting. in the west of the state, it is a small rural town of newton.” think my most prized possession is the taylor swift autograph. wobbled —— robert white lee, lg btq wobbled —— robert white lee, lgbtq plus. eyewear bowties so it has a little bit of a resemblance. to me. i guarantee you joe biden knows more about the bible than donald trump. joe biden is a deeply committed person faith and he has energised so many of us in the faith realm to be energy east for him. —— energised. something that robert lees will challenge the dominance of the evangelical block which was so influential in 2015. people assume that the christian vote

there was a case in thejoe biden debate, saying thatjoe biden's wasjust a biden debate, saying thatjoea bit boring. i think biden's was just a bit boring. ithinka biden's was just a bit boring. i think a lot of voters would be fine with boring after the la st be fine with boring after the last four years but it was a stark contrast. donald trump was trying to win an argument and joe biden was trying to win and joe biden was trying to win a boat and that really sums up where this race is right now. donald trump goes in the underdog, he came out the underdog. he is running out of time and opportunities to change the dynamic of this race and tonight was but one more. he did probably hurt himself talking about his taxes, confirming that he owes at least $421 million, possibly to foreign entities and a host of other things. the fact he is campaigning in georgia tomorrow tells you how much trouble the campaign is in. by contrast, joe biden worked with every single questioner and tried to win them over with long explanations about policy and politics. he had a lot of singles, may be a line dr

i think this is an attempt by thejoe biden campaign to appeal to black voters in particular, young blackording to pulse. barack 0bama making his pitch to have them appear and in battle ground states like michigan where they will both be tomorrow. what about senate races this weekend. what do you think the candidates are going. a lot of them are in the ski battle ground states, kill two birds with one stone and that explains whyjoe biden went to georgia and went to iowa today. in going into minnesota and michigan. the fate of the senate as much on the line in the selection is the presidency. thank you so much. this week we've been looking at how the outcome of the us election will affect millions of people around the globe. tonight we're turning to west africa — focusing on nigeria. a recent poll shows that nigeria ranks fourth among countries whose citizens have confidence in mr trump's handling of foreign affairs. that's despite the trump administration targeting nigeria, amongst other nations, with tougher immigration rules. for instance, a planned change to student visas would mean ni

i would make is that turn up will be up both donald trump and joe biden have been there and at thejoe bidenevent and it's actually been a record turnout of voting across the united states. i had a polling day. what is a situation like exactly what you are? here in wisconsin it's the state that third worst affected in the whole country when it comes to coronavirus. it had thousands of cases on a daily basis in the past week. hospitalizations are going up as our deaths. they've even opened up a field hospital because of the spill over from the actual hospital. the situation here in terms of coronavirus is incredibly bad. people are concerned. we are seeing more mask wearing that we thought inside restaurants, cafes. it's mandated by the state and the state governor. perhaps that's one of the reasons why there is low voter turnout. certainly both sides of the campaigns will tell you that they've been speaking to voters, when we speak to the democratic side they say that they've been here a sense 2017 campaigning. and they've got a huge budget here or the campaign. of course that was sort of pu

it is going to offset a number of the white suburban voters that have been lost to thejoe biden campaign election. close to 30%. those numbers are set to go higher and the pivotal set date where we will see high numbers around the battleground states of florida is with its large cuban population and it will safely return to the president side of an electoral victory. philadelphia is experiencing another night of unrest after the fatal police shooting of a black man. police say officers opened fire on 27—year—old walter wallace when he ignored orders to drop a knife he was holding. mark lobel reports. 0n on monday afternoon in west philadelphia, this happened. two officers respond to a report of a man with a weapon. he breaks free from his mother after she says he tried to fit shield him and please say he then told the 27—year—old to drop their weapon and then this:. he was pronounced dead at the hospital. his father asked later why police did not first use a taser. the family of mr wallace that he called foran ambulance, of mr wallace that he called for an ambulance, not the police. it w

sorry to interrupt you, i'm looking at the joe biden to interrupt you, i'm looking at thejoe biden spending to over $4 trillion on expanding healthcare across america and another $2.5 trillion, we are talking massive, massive spending plans which will take america's national debt skyhigh but will also require serious amounts of taxation. unless you're going to ruin the public finances? if you want to look at one side of the equation, thatis at one side of the equation, that is fine. if we're going to have a massive infrastructure programme, yes, it will cost money but it would generate money but it would generate money as well, it would generate income, it will put people back to work and we will have water and sewer programmes and the way we should have it. we would have job creation like you've never had before and many experts have looked at his plan and said it would create significant numbers of jobs. we have got a corporate tax rate that is now down to 20 wa nt rate that is now down to 20 want %. no corporation asked for it to be that low —— 21%. they have put it back to 28% already.

this was a case in thejoe biden protagonist. the joe biden debate just reading some of the commentators online saying that joe biden was actuallyjust a bit boring. and i think a lot of voters would be fine with boring right now after the last four years, but i think there was a stark contrast tonight. donald trouble trying to win an argument and joe biden was trying to win a vote and this shows where this race is right i'iow. shows where this race is right now. donald trump goes into the underdog, he came out the underdog, he came out the underdog and may have hurt himself. he is running out of time and opportunities to change the dynamic of this race and tonight was but one more and tonight was but one more and he did probably hurt himself talking about his taxes, confirming he owes at least $421 million, possibly to foreign entities, and a host of other things. the fact he is campaigning in georgia tomorrow tells us how much trouble the campaigners in. by contrast, joe biden really worked with every single questionnaire and tr

sorry to interrupt you, i'm looking at thejoe biden spending plans and they amount to over $4 trillionross america and another $2.5 trillion, we are talking massive, massive spending plans which will take america's national debt skyhigh but will also require serious amounts of taxation. unless you're going to ruin the public finances? if you want to look at one side of the equation, that is fine. if we're going to have a massive infrastructure programme, yes, it will cost money but it would generate money as well, it would generate income, it will put people back to work and we will have water and sewer programmes and the way we should have it. we would have job creation like you've never had before and many experts have looked at his plan and said it would create significant numbers of jobs. we have got a corporate tax rate that is now down to 21%. no corporation asked for it to be that low. they welcomed it going back up to 28%. that's what we thought we were doing. we woke up one day and it was 21%. i don't know why trump did that but i know it was wrong and it has destroyed afforda

as for thejoe biden — the democratic presidential candidate — he didn't comment on donald trump's confrontation60 minutes team. but he did have this to say ahead of the debate. hopefully he's going to play by the rules. hopefully everybody‘s been tested. hopefully it's all worked out, the way the rules are. i'm looking forward to this. thank you. we're just we'rejust an we're just an hour or so ahead of that debate. let's have a live look into the room where this is being held. this is in nashville. where the presidential candidates will be encountering. the first one was ill tempered. this time they are bringing in a mute button so are bringing in a mute button so they can speak over each other. we are getting reports the plexiglass on the stage has been removed. that was a bit of an issue when he came to be vice president of the debate but in this case the second presidential debate the plexiglass has been removed. my colleague laura trevelyan is in nashville, where that debate is taking place. the build—up has been absolutely huge. let's face it, there's a lot at stake. that is right. 12 day

yes, let's go back to thejoe biden clip you played there.to hear him really putting coronavirus front and centre. the democrats we re front and centre. the democrats were criticised into thousand 16 for not really connecting what they see the danger of trump to be with people's real lives. so joe biden trump to be with people's real lives. sojoe biden saying their you know, how many empty chairs are there at your table? how many people are you missing in yourfamily? he has done that before, but i thank you are going to see him want to do that or try into that more and more and more. he was in ohio today, he had an open air rally, a drive through rally, really, again, putting coronavirus front and centre there. so, that is the conversation that the democrats thatjoe biden wants to have. for donald trump, the republicans, the confirmation hearings of amy coney barrett, and what they want to talk about, she is a conservative, very conservative christian nominee to the supreme court. she would be replacing ruth bader ginsburg's place on the cour

thejoe biden campaign pulled all ads on september 11 during that day.this case president trump and the first lady, melania trump, being diagnosed with covid. julia manchester, very interesting to get your thoughts. thank you for being with us. david is a medical a nalyst analyst and surgeon at huntington hospital. he told us why he believes president trump might have been admitted to hospital. i would assume they are taking every precaution with the american president because he is the president, obviously. we want to make him as comfortable and we want to heal him and take every precaution with him. his advanced age, he is 7a years old, and he is obese, so those are two major risk factors for him, so obviously even if he sneezed wrong, they were taken to the hospital. and he's being taken care of at one of the best institutions in america, so, absolutely, they should do that. and meanwhile, we understand he is being treated today with an experimental drug, regeneron. what do you know about that? i don't know much about it, but i will say that if... the

you can see why thejoe biden team chose to bring him out now.d quite a tricky balance to strike on the one hand, they do not want to underminejoe biden‘s own campaign, but also, they want to really enthuse their base, their supporters. it's very interesting the key point that barack obama made was don't get lazy. get out and vote. he said that last time people got lazy, those are his words and we need you to get out and vote forjoe biden. so, it is very interesting there what they brought him out of this point in the kind of message that he was pushing home and just to say, i was checking paul's before i came in here in pennsylvania fox news has a poll that is just been released and they are generally considered to be a bit more friendly to the president. they havejoe biden five points ahead of donald trump and again, the former president said do not trust those polls, get out and vote. donald trump narrowly won pennsylvania less time around. joe biden not on the campaign trail today because he is prepping a head of the debate tomorrow and the p

as for thejoe biden — the democratic presidential candidate — he didn't comment on donald trump's confrontationeam. but he did have this to say ahead of the debate. hopefully he's going to play by the rules. hopefully everybody‘s been tested. hopefully it's all worked out, the way the rules are. i'm looking forward to this. thank you. joe biden there on his way. must take a live look at the debate hall. you see the two podium set up, people starting to arrive. you might notice that the plexiglass dividers have been removed by the debate commission, both candidates testing negative on their way to the debate. lets go live to nashville and speak to laura trevelyan who is in place withjust under an hourto go. set the scene for us, laura. what is he going to be like in there? christian, you can see there? christian, you can see the dramatic red and blue lighting behind me. very different debate tonight is what the commission president is hoping for and they hope it will serve the interest of the american people after that chaotic one three and a half weeks ago. so tonight what we have 50 candidates

stay there, then, we are now going to look at the joe biden then, we are now going to look at thejoe bidenl being moderated by abc news and he spoke of trump as make handling of the coronavirus. we need more teachers in our schools to be able to open, we need ventilation systems changed, there are lots of things we know now and i laid them out in some detail. again, when i say ilaid them some detail. again, when i say i laid them out, i am not an officeholder. i am i laid them out, i am not an officeholder. lam running i laid them out, i am not an officeholder. i am running for office, i am officeholder. i am running for office, lam not officeholder. i am running for office, i am not vice officeholder. i am running for office, lam not vice president ora office, lam not vice president or a senator pushing this, sol do not want to say i, i, i, but we laid out exactly what needed to be done and take a look, we make up for percent of the world's population but we have 20% of the world's deaths. we have 210 plus thousand people dead and what is he doing? nothing. he is still not wearing a mask

and very proud of thejoe biden has 500 veterans. you know how many vetera ns a re 500 veterans.illion. we will give him the 500 who have endorsed them. and let me say this. and you know how government works. those quys how government works. those guys that want to be and with the in cloud, they're not republican or democrat or philosophical, theyjust republican or democrat or philosophical, they just want a job and they want to feel like they are in with the elite. that is why donald trump so good. his allegiance is to the common man. he is a populace. he isa common man. he is a populace. he is a guy that breaks up that cabal. i've seen it over and over again. it's a very incestuous time. it is never your democratic republican. you call him populist but the question is, is he a democrat? there are many people, even under side of the fence, spoke to the leading republican polls, i'm going to quote to you, someone polls, i'm going to quote to you, someone is bound to show quite recently. the former gop michael steele. there are desperately worried that donald trump will not accept

isjudge amy coney barrett confirmed to the supreme court of the united states, are you thejoe biden going to pack supreme court? i'm so glad we covered that, let's do a history lesson. in 1864. one of the political heroes, that i certainly would say of the president and of you, abraham lincoln. abraham lincoln was up for reelection. it was 27 days before the election. on the unitedopen states supreme court. abraham lincoln's party was not only in charge of the white house, but also of the senate. honest abe said -- said, it is other thing to do. the america people deserve who onuld serve for a lifetime the highest court of the land. thatnd i are very clear, the american people are voting right now. it should be there decision about who will serve on this most important body for a lifetime. >> thank you, senator harris. they are voting right now, and the american people would like to know if you are going to pack the supreme court. you're giving a non-answer. sen. harris: i'm trying to answer the right now. vp pence: if you have not figured it out yet, the straight answer is that they are

thejoe biden was focused on putg blackman and prison.lightly political, i think ultimately this really tells the story of what this president stands for and even though he's unconventional, amazing, amazing support for the first time amongst the black community. today you will hear about the hispanic dream plan. prosperity for all, you can see that story unfolding and philadelphia. >> harris: it's interesting. i hear you lay all of that out and to the messaging is very clear. we are so close to election day. there are some ground to be made up and i'm wondering what the strategy is moving forward. let's take a look at now. september fox news poll mack asked voters who they trust to do a better job maintaining lawd order. 49% said joe biden, 47% said president trump. what is changing about the messaging? that was in september. clearly we are not there. and asking what is happening over the summer and recently in d.c. where do you put the messaging? what is the strategy. >> we don't put much trust or faith in these polls because i think ou

politics and was only a month ago, expect the joe is politics and was only a month ago, expect thejoe bidennd was only a month ago, expect the joe biden campaign to make a big political issue out of this. and a super high-stakes election as well. and i also wonder just the fact that donald trump cannot get out and hold these rallies whereas now, ironic that for ages there wasjoe in his basement and now it will bejoe out campaigning and the president stuck in the residence of the white house. i wonder how much that will impact over the next week or two. significant. for one thing, if the president were healthy he will be down in the theatre and doing debate preparations for the next debate with the vice president and he also is really going to be climbing the walls. he likes to be out with people and likes to be on television and won't be on television. from a political standpoint, i would say this, think people here in the us and around the world are going to wa nt and around the world are going to want to see him on a daily basis. how does he look? does he look healthy? as he looked like h

it certainly does thejoe biden. four years ago, in wisconsin, in michigan, in pennsylvania. now, he has visited those states just in the past week or so but the fact he is going to georgia in particular, which hasn't voted for a democrat since bill clinton in 1992, tells you that there are really good chances for democrats to win georgia and some other states they are not used to winning. arizona would be a good example. and, therefore, on the night, which are the states that you are night, which are the states that you a re really night, which are the states that you are really going to be looking at? if you see a particular state go one way or the other you think, 0k, if you see a particular state go one way or the other you think, ok, i know how this will end up? well, the earliest voters that will actually get the counts, committee had counts, will be some of the east coast states, southeast, north carolina, georgia and florida. now, they'll tell a tale. last time trumper carried all three. they usually go repub

has raised speculation that maybe he had it for longer than he revealed, maybe he even had it, thejoe bideneek's cosmic debate. a lot of questions that still have to be a nswered questions that still have to be answered here, and trump kind of wrestling and not revealing many details. know, and i guess it is difficult to provide any firm detail about the next debate, whether anything is going to happen at all, and if so where, and in what format. these are all open questions now. a lot of whiplash today, with the commission on presidential debates coming out and saying next week's debate, because of all the uncertainty surrounding the president's own diagnosis, that next week cosmic debate would be virtual. the trump campaign, of course, pushing back on that and saying trump is not going to do a virtual debate, and the biden campaign, when it was clear that trump was not going to be involved, going ahead with the town hall in pennsylvania. it is unclear at this point if the debate next week will take place. trump already indicating that if it doesn't, he is going to go ahead with his own ev

another case is a point the republicans of the joe another case is a point the republicans of thejoe bidend campaign there if you want and they do not have a chance in terms of taking that state, but there's a reason that he is there. michigan is really important state and donald trump is and again, very close in terms of how they are doing their and donald trump one that stayed by less than a percentage point last time and now, there is a poll that shows them nine points and shows joe poll that shows them nine points and showsjoe biden poll that shows them nine points and shows joe biden nine poll that shows them nine points and showsjoe biden nine points ahead and our partners havejoe biden eight points ahead in michigan, which is going to be a worry for donald trump. so he is trying to shore up support there. what kind of m essa 9 es shore up support there. what kind of messages do you think will be cheering from the two candidates over the next week or so. we are at herjoe biden bringing up the president possible his handling of the coronavirus. it's not hard to guess because really, t

it's really interesting when you look at the joe it's really interesting when you look at thejoe bidene president. the president can only see the world from park avenue. i see it from scranton, i see it for real. you all know what i'm talking about. president trump lived on fifth avenue, i believe. definitely stealing from the 2016 donald trump campaign. certainly stealing from boris johnson's campaign because that slogan was in play well before joe biden used it. all fascinating stuff. president trump's pick for the us supreme courtjudge amy coney barrett was grilled today by senators on capitol hill — although she refused to reveal to them how she'd vote on key issues like abortion and healthcare without the details of the case. if approved by the commitee, the senate could vote to confirm coney barrett by the end of the month. and confirm her they almost certainly will. she would be president trump's third appointment to the supreme court — and give republican—appointed justices a majority of 6—to—3 on the bench. but who is. she and what is she like to work for. john adams — was a l

with joe biden said the biden family leverage contact withjoe biden they sent me coming in from thejoe biden never held stock in any such business range nor has his family, or any person ever held stock for him what issue is that tony bobulinski admits it on the record to breitbart that he is angry and not able to go into business with hunter and james bite it and also to is that any contrasted joe biden, donald trump has a secret chinese bank account that pays more and carries on. this is the denial. he has ever been trying to leverage contact to make money for his family. or been involved in a business arrangement of that sort. we are we're joined now by mary anne marsh, who's a democratic communications strategist, and bryan lanza, a republican communications strategist and former deputy communications director for trump—pence campaign in 2016. brian, let's start with you. you know what it is like to be at this very moment where your candidate is waiting to go on stage. anybody who is ever prepped a presidential candidate as you must‘ve done, at this moment you have butterflies you want t

could go on the attack about the joe biden‘s donald trump could go on the attack about thejoe biden‘s family, hunter biden of money had been made working abroad just because hunter biden was trading on his father's name when he was the vice president. we had this whole question about whether or not because he was on the board, i later learned at burisma, the company. but somehow i had done something wrong. yet every single person when he was going through his impeachment testified under oath who worked for him said that i did my job impeccably. i carried out us policy. not one single, solitary thing was out of line, not a single thing. number—one. numbertwo, the guy who got in trouble in ukraine was this guy trying to bribe the ukrainian government to say something negative about me, which they would not do and did not do because it never, happened. my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what you are talking about, china. the only thing i have made money from china is this guy. nobody else has made them money from china. let me ask my question to you and then we will... just one thing. his

we have no word so farfrom thejoe biden campaign. ng while the debate itself was under way back behind the scenes, before and after that debate, how close did they become and willjoe biden now be tested for coronavirus? he is tested routinely every week we are told but there will of course be those who say due to contact tracing and so on, that he and many of the president's closest advisers who have come into contact with him and hope hicks in the last week should now be tested to see if they also the coronavirus. this will inevitably raise questions, if campaigning has to halt, whether it will throw into question the legitimacy about the ultimate poll in november. the polls are open, people are voting. absolutely, they are, and coronavirus was a subject president trump had hoped to steer the campaign away from and on other matters, for example, his pick for the vacant post in the supreme court, amy coney barrett. but it has come back to bite him if you like and is very close to home. it is in the white house. this is a virus that ha

thejoe biden campaign, joe biden said he was looking forward to addressing the american people etc, and debate in its originalform if he would go ahead with the debate in its original form if the scientists said it was safe. i think really the only real thing that has changed, of course, and it's a huge thing, is the fact that since that last debate, the president has been diagnosed with covid. is this unprecedented? diagnosed with covid. is this unprecedented 7 have any diagnosed with covid. is this unprecedented? have any of these debates ever been called off? called off, i don't think so. for those historically minded, the first—ever presidential debate between nixon andjfk presidential debate between nixon and jfk was actually virtual, believe it or not. one was in california, one was in new york and the moderator somewhere else, so it's not unprecedented even in those days but i think nowadays this would be something that the president wouldn't go for. there will be a third debate, that is still up for grabs, so in a sense, the american people will potentially get the chance to see

he's probably getting tested anyway there will be those in thejoe biden team who may have come in relativelycks was part of that in a circle. it's a big unknown. those were part of the trump administration. our prime minister was diagnosed with covid—19 and the impact it had. the prime minister was at one point being helped with his reading. and around his age, 74, his weight, orfears with how difficult will be on his physical well—being. with how difficult will be on his physical well-being. yes, with how difficult will be on his physicalwell-being. yes, and with how difficult will be on his physical well-being. yes, and as we discussed again, we don't know how it's going to progress. there is a system in place, vice president. if you can't carry out his duties. that'll be the role of the president to step up running the us administration. we are still feeling our way around the virus but at with the complexities of an american presidential election campaign and all the legalities that go on around the fact that the election has to be held on a certain date, there is an inauguration set for
