who’s setting himself apart and could become president plus medical first it looks very good so we’re super happy the Breakthrough brain implant changing the life of this teenager with epilepsy global national reporting tonight Carolyn Jarvis good evening and thanks for joining us US President Joe Biden is trying to turn the page today after what many are calling a disastrous night on one of the biggest and most important stages in the world in the first debate of the 2024 presidential race Joe Biden hoped to make the case that his opponent Donald Trump was unfit to return to the white house instead he reignited questions over his own Fitness for a second term in office his answers were marked with stumbles and awkward pauses in what some are calling the worst debate performance in US history have a listen everything we have to do with uh look if we finally beat Medicare thank you President Biden president Trump he right he did beat Medicare he beat it to death despite Trump’s felony conviction and repeated lies the focus today is on the sitting president Jackson prco has our top story tonight with his campaign thrust into crisis Joe Biden tried to tame the p I don’t de debate as well as I used to but I know what I do know I know how to tell the truth in North Carolina the 81-year-old president was fiery and energetic acknowledging only briefly His stunning failure the night before when you get knocked down you get back up during 90 excruciating minutes with Donald Trump the idea that they’re going to I’m not I prop opposing that everybody they pay the millionaires pay 1% Biden appeared raspy frail and at times incoherent the the total initiative relative to what we can do with more border patrol and more Asylum officers president Trump I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence that disastrous performance has legitimized questions about his ability to serve another term let alone win one the worst of any major Party candidate since debate started with Kennedy Nixon in 1960 that’s how bad it was the stumbles overshadowed his opponent’s torrent of lies he’s willing to as we say rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month and kill the baby Democrats saw the Trump they knew and the Biden they feared I’m worried I’m really worried it was tragic loyalists are rattled with open calls for Biden to drop out of the race before it’s too late it was a challenging night challenging night while Donald Trump is seizing the moment the question every voter should be asking themselves today is not whether Joe Biden can survive a 90minut debate performance but whether America can survive four more years of crooked Joe Biden in the White [Music] House concern about Biden’s age is nothing new but for the first time the knives are out just weeks before the party’s nominating convention it’s probably hopeless uh unless he drops out himself there is no way to remove him Biden has signaled he’s not going anywhere he is now a man with no room for error speculation is already rampant about who could step in if Biden steps away with months until election day the president’s team believes there’s plenty of time to quell questions about his Fitness for office they’re even suggesting he will still debate Trump for a second time in SE September Carolyn Jackson prco in Washington thank you we’re joined Now by irhad manangi a Canadian author and educator who lives in New York irad what do you make of Biden’s performance last night the stumbles the pauses for electors who are still four months away from going to the polls Carolyn let me Begin by clarifying I speak not as a partisan but as a teacher of leadership and in that context I never thought I’d say this that the extended fight between Biden and Trump about who’s a better golfer is only the second most embarrassing thing that happened last night the most embarrassing of course is that President Biden could not manage to finish a decent sentence his prolonged silences as you pointed out happened very early on in the debate and what that managed to do is reinforce this impression this assumption that was already seeded in the minds of many many Americans that this man for as lovely as he may be for as decent as he may be uh is not uh cognitively fit to be the president of the United States for the next four years it’s the reinforcing of that impression that made all the difference because it happened so early on in the debate so you’ve said this is a moment of Reckoning for Democrats what is the party have to do now yeah well and I really do mean Reckoning because you know the Democratic party has been saying for years that democracy itself is on the ballot well if that’s the case then they really do need to get serious about finding a nominee to replace Biden and by the way there are no shortage of younger more Dynamic Democrats to choose from it’s it’s an embarrassment of riches actually uh and it doesn’t have to be a humiliation of Biden either uh though your Republicans will try to make it that way Biden will actually be celebrated for making the decision to bow out and clear the path for the Next Generation because everybody will know that takes humility which is in very short supply these days and that’s also an extremely strong contrast with the Republican party and its nominee so all told it’ll be a winwin for the Democrats if Biden does uh you know allow for a brand new nominee to take his place can we turn to Trump’s performance just for a second you know we’ve got on live TV a convicted felon who is making up truths as he goes is he a better alternative oh not at all not if we’re talking about leadership I mean uh you know I refer to him as a misleader given all the lies not a leader uh but it has to be acknowledged and and understood that he has Millions upon millions of followers but here’s the other thing that needs to be understood it’s not so much because those followers love him it’s actually because those followers hate the other side more than they love their own side that’s how toxic The Divide has become in these United States it is you know it is it is driven by hatred of the other not by love of our own your Shad Mani thank you for time and insights tonight thank you the US Supreme Court will deliver its highly anticipated ruling Monday over whether Trump is immune to criminal prosecution for his actions during his time in office in the meantime the court delivered some major rulings today including one which involves charges against January 6th riers in a 63 decision the Court ruled in favor of alleged Rider Joseph Fischer throwing out the Justice Department’s obstruction charge against him the ruling could impact hundreds of other January 6th cases including one against Trump the Supreme Court also ruled 6 to3 that American cities have the right to enforce bans on homeless people camping outside in public spaces the decision sides with the Oregon City of Grants Pass over a lawsuit by three homeless people which argued the city’s penalties were unconstitutional this reverses a lower Court ruling the Supreme Court’s conservative majority opinion said the Constitution does not author authoriz federal judges to dictate this nation’s homelessness policy back in Canada there are doubts over our leaders future after Trudeau’s liberals lost

the walls of a liberal Fortress winning the Toronto St Paul’s byelection there is a lot of um discomfort uh even anger certainly frustration in in not just Canada but a number of countries right now and the primary reason for that is inflation in Montreal this year’s Canada Day Parade was cancelled because of red tape and a lack of funding to ipsos it’s just one more example contributing to an

On tonight’s top story: U.S. President Joe Biden is trying to turn the page after what many are calling a “disastrous” debate performance. In the first debate of the 2024 presidential race, Biden had hoped to make the case that his opponent Trump was “unfit” to return to the White House. Instead, he reignited questions about his own fitness for a second term in office. Jackson Proskow reports.

Back in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is dodging questions about the embarrassing loss of a Liberal stronghold to the Conservatives. At least one Liberal backbencher is now saying he’s had enough – penning an open letter to the Liberal caucus calling for Trudeau’s resignation. David Akin looks at who else is calling for Trudeau to stand aside and who is standing by him.

Meanwhile, Iranians headed to the polls Friday in a snap election after the sudden death of the former president Ebrahim Raisi. What makes this election different is that a little-known reformist candidate, who is calling for closer relations with the West, actually has a chance at winning. But that doesn’t mean the hardline Iranian regime is going anywhere. Redmond Shannon explains.

Tonight marks the start of the Canada Day long weekend. But a new poll done exclusively for Global News shows many Canadians are not in the mood for celebrating as national pride has plummeted. Touria Izri breaks down the numbers and looks at what’s behind the low morale.

A British teenager has made medical history. Oran Knowlson was once plagued by three hundred seizures a day, but that number has dropped dramatically thanks to a revolutionary brain implant. Neetu Garcha reports.
