8 分钟I'm Valerie Hopkins.
I cover Russia for the New York Times.
It's pretty difficult to report from Russia often.
I'm the only New York Times reporter in the country.
I keep working in Russia because what happens here matters, and our audience deserves to get a broad perspective of the world that they live in.

Today's Thursday, October 24th.
Here's what we're covering.
Let me ask you tonight, do you.
Think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
And I and I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.
Last night, Kamala Harris publicly called Donald Trump a fascist, using a term that the country's highest ranking Democrats had previously stopped short of saying his former chief.
Of staff, his national security adviser, former secretaries of defense, and his vice president have all called him unfit and dangerous.
They have said explicitly he has contempt for the Constitution of the United States.
Harris's remarks during a CNN town hall were meant to amplify new comments from John Kelly, Trump's former chief of staff, who said Trump meets the definition of a fascist and an authoritarian.
Kelly made the remarks in an interview with the Times published this week, saying he was speaking out now because he was deeply troubled by Trump's proposal to use the military against Americans who oppose him if he' elected.
