Hello everyone and welcome to Ammanpur. Here's what's coming up.

We are the only nation that has a major political party that denies climate science and says this is not a problem.

The climate crisis makes its way to the top of the Democratic agenda.

I speak to presidential candidate Corey Booker about his plan to turn America's economy green.

Order. Order. Order.

Then, the British Parliament rejects a no-deal Brexit.

I speak to a rebel lawmaker who helped defeat the Prime Minister

and the political scientist Yashermonk explains just what is happening to British

democracy plus the first step is admitting that many of the current day

structures are based on this 400 year legacy and 250 years of slavery.

400 years since the first slaves were brought from Africa to America,

we look into how that moment still touches every part of life here. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in New York. As Hurricane

Dorian slices now toward the eastern seaboard, leaving behind devastation and death

in the Bahamas, Democratic presidential candidates met for CNN's seven hour-long

town hall focusing solely on the global climate crisis, a topic that was

glaringly absent from the 2016 presidential debates and has now risen to the

very top of the agenda. Here's a quick taste of the evening's

conversation. Life on Earth is at risk and if we don't make this commitment. We not only cheat our children, we cheat their future and their

children's future and that is morally wrong. We have to be all the wrong.

If you believe that God is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation and people are being harmed by it.

Countries are at risk of vanishing in low-lying areas.

We suppose God thinks of that.
