And we include kraft thanks for joining us the black hole that is president Donald Trumps personal finances is seeing a little more light along investigation by the New York Times suggests the selfproclaimed billionaire and business genius may actually face a financial nightmare of loans bad deals and unpaid tax totally hundreds of millions of dollars and that bill is coming due democrats say trumps loss making Business Ventures could pose a National Security risk now trump denies any wrongdoing as he looks to facing his opponent joe biden at tuesdays 1st president ial debate. Reactions to the New York Times scoop the slick to the deep divisions that are evident across america in this Election Year for 30 because i pay way more than that in quarterly tax payments and im a Business Owner so i think it will affect the election probably not because theres been way worse accusations against him before and people havent cared if the premise if not true is not true you know why now. Why now they bring this up like 35 days to election day you know me makes my blood boil. Everything he does makes my blood boil and whats going to make my blood boil even more is that there are no consequences to this and just more proof that hes a grown man and always has been he has done a lot in the past few years that were. Against the law things that are against the law and people would have probably been prosecuted or thrown in jail for but he got away with it so i think this is just another thing that bill just throw in that bucket and forget about it. The story adds to the troubles of a president trailing badly in opinion polls the newspaper reported that tax filings show donald trump paid just 750. 00 in federal income taxes in 2016 the year he won the presidency and the same amount in 2017 his 1st year in office and he paid no income taxes whatsoever in 10 of the previous 15 years. Thats because he reported losing more money than he made according to the times he also reported to be personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling more than 420000000. 00 revelations that undermine the image trump likes to promote of himself as a successful businessman and deal maker. Trump dismissed the story as untrue the suit was told was fake news feed. On tuesday evening trump and his challenger joe biden face off for the 1st of 3 televised debates trim stakes history gives the democrats fresh munition going into the final month of the campaign. Lets turn now to our washington correspondent carolyn ashame wait for more carlina white does the president s finances matter so much in the u. S. Well this has been already 4 decades tradition president ial candidates and president s have always been showing their tax records. This president all trying he already promised in 2016 he would show his tax revenues once he is in the white house and that is something that he hasnt done but having said that his supporters still are not talked about that they do believe in his words they do believe that these are fake news what does the New York Times reporting tell us about any potential wrongdoing on trumps far as any of this illegal. That is exactly the point this is not really illegal he has been evading taxes but this is all in in a legal frame and that is also what his supporters of the media that supports him says about that some of them some of his supporters might even see him as a smart businessman as a very clever business because he knows how to evade taxes in a legal and frame so this is why they think this is a strategy of democrats and the socalled fake news in terms words to discredit him just some days before the elections and also of course only one day before the president ial debate. It is as you know i mean the election is just coming up now and there are so many things that are important in this election this year is there any indication that this particular issue is going to have any impact on the course of the next few weeks. This is one of his openness and the democrats of course hope even as he palosi for example she said today she released a statement on this times report saying that this is a sign of president distain for americas working families and that he has spent many years of using the tax code and so the democrats are hoping that this might change the race but again triumph orders are not going to believe this facts and words the knockout argument will always remain that these are fake news some swing voters perhaps were thinking of voting for trump they might change their mind but this report on president Tax Information is most probably not going to change anything the president ial debate in the next is the next big event tomorrow and during this election this might be one of the songs that might change something but definitely definitely not this story from the New York Times on the texas will be but there for now more in washington for us thanks very much now lets turn to some of the other stories making news around the world. Wildfires continue to tear through northern californias wine country strong winds have been fanning the flames in napa valley and firefighters are warning of a dangerous rate of spread the fires have scorched around 4 and a half 1000 hectors prompting officials to order the evacuation of more than 50000. 00 residents.

Proved especially difficult for. A big. Company the risk of dying from and safe abortion is highest in africa according to the World Health Organization it is International Safe abortion day to day and the nation reports say 3 also for abortions that occurred on the continent between 20152019 were unsafe in a moment ill be joined by a lawyer advocating for the procedure to be made legal but 1st heres the story of a young woman in nairobi who survived unsafe abortion. We call her mercy but thats not her real name she was 16 when she fell pregnant her mother wanted her to finish school so she forced mercy to abort the baby for fear of repercussions she hides her face. In there i went to a local medicine man i stayed there for 3 days he gave me herbal medicine and i took it and there were needed then on the 2nd day i started seeing blood in the water i was very afraid. There are people who are bored and missing fine and that i thought i would die. The. Its estimated that in kenya 7 women die each day from unsafe abortions abortions are illegal unless the mothers life or health is in danger or if theres a rape case thats why women come to this man hes well known for carrying out abortions along with other procedures even though he has no medical training mercy came here too she paid the equivalent of 8 euros for the abortion in the interview however he denies performing abortions but still he wants to hide his identity. Given an injection drug and theyre sent home the pregnancy can terminate there many of these women die if theyre on lucky they do die if theyre lucky the pregnancy terminate safely its usually bad however. By. In most cases women need professional help after the abortion the International Aid organization mary stopes is one of several n. G. O. S in kenya that offers these polls Abortion Care Services but theres a lot of uncertainty says Daisy Abdullah we dont have clear Guidelines National guidelines on managing this possible should care so so were going to football should stop this is there for this stigma that envelops us goes down to these women no doubt who has no option and doesnt know where to time. Of course mercy would have preferred to see a real doctor 3 years later shes still suffering from the traumatic experience because those men will just give you some kind of medicine and then tell you when the pregnancy has been terminated they only want your money in the end youre the one who has to suffer in a battle. Despite the stigma she faces from her community she thinks every woman should have the right to a safe abortion. But not everyone agrees with missy about that other women in kenya told us how they felt about abortion my view about abortion is that its not a good idea in the business to a to do repeat is educating people up through and about ways to avoid getting real i could intercept dos abstain mounds calling them whatever ive always my kids when someone has conceived. Life or to be growing in say you once you do that its like youre saying no to life so i dont think its right to humanity. Human in most cases especially when its its not been pretty thought to be the person where you just decide to end their life you dont know if this could have been the next big thing in this world this child would have been something important its only in cases where would say the mother is in danger that it is ok so in fact that is the case in much of africa women are only permitted to terminate a pregnancy if it poses a threat to their life or a risk to their help only 4 countries on the continent.

Tell us why it is important according to you that that changes. Thank you very much now abortion is a Health Care Just like any other health care is unfortunately its highly regulated its legislated and we do know that in africa 99 percent of abortions that will cry in africa i dont see if we also know that. We have one Maternal Death in every 150 cases in africa thats a very high end of the considering that my journey 2 of these deaths preventable and we know what we can do to prevent these deaths and number of women dying from unsafe abortion and then another huge percentage that i leaving with lifelong disability that the kind to treat and elbow this is a critical issue. And it isnt enough for a government to say it provides access to contraception and therefore based no need to get in say that he denies it off abortion which often has implications because of the moral standing up of a society for example no its not enough contraceptives do not even
