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

I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. That's not what debating is all about.

So no more presidential debates then? The White House COVID outbreak

reportedly is wider than first known. I ask veteran Washington correspondent Susan Glasser and Peter Baker whether things

are spiraling out of control authors of the new book profiling leadership and the

Republican Party. Plus we're very aware and I think that's the important thing out of all of this is a level of

awareness. Designer and environmental activist Stella McCartney talks about her new

COVID manifesto.

Then our Michelle Martin speaks to Reverend Samuel Rodriguez about the evangelical vote in this

high-stakes election. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London and fasten your seatbellts because it's going to be a bumpy ride all these last few weeks to the election.

Today President Trump said that he would not take part in any virtual debates.

Then he said he would do it in person, but later.

The Biden campaign has rejected that.

Meantime, the White House COVID hotspot gets even hotter.

At least one military aide who carries around the nuclear

football, that's the briefcase with the nuclear codes, has been infected with the

disease. In addition, President Trump is calling for his army of polite poll watchers to monitor the vote on November 3rd.

And it doesn't stop there. The latest is that the FBI has foiled a plot to kidnap the Democratic governor of Michigan, who is a frequent

target of President Trump.

And last but not least, some are raising serious concerns about the President's erratic mood and behavior since he contracted COVID

and since he's been taking a cocktail of drugs.

How are we meant to process all of this?
