Welcome to the world today, an hour of international news from the bbc. Kamala harris and Donald Trump have met in New York after a bruising president ial debate widely seen as a victory for the Vice President. The pair shook hands as they gathered alongside President Biden Njd events for the 911 commemoration in manhattan. Hours earlier, and theyre only schedule tv debate, they clashed on the economy, abortion and immigration. The moderated Debate Saw some of mr trumps claims challenged by the anchors and from philadelphia comes here is our North American editor. It was Donald Trump who orchestrated a civil greeting, driving across the state to demand a handshake from a reluctant Donald Trump. She had come prepared to push his buttons. come prepared to push his buttone buttons. People leave his rallies out buttons. People leave his rallies out of buttons.

But deadly serious when attacking him on Abortion Rights. But deadly serious when attacking him on Abortion Rights. The government, and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. Miss harris said she would try to reinstate the right to have an abortion. But her Vice President ial pick says an abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. Mr trump wrongly claimed that democrats support Abortion Rights right up to and even after birth. That provoked a fact check from one of the debate moderators. There is no state in this i country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born. A flustered Donald Trump relied repeatedly on attacking the current Administrations Record on immigration. Why are we allowing these millions of people to come through on the southern border . Come how she is not doing anything . Democrats here say they are very happy with how Kamala Harris managed to keep Donald Trump on the defence, going after him hard, getting under his skin and leaving him looking angry and rattled. So flustered he made an unexpected personal appearance to try to spin his own verdict. I say the truth, and i lose votes or gain votes, but i thought this was my best debate, i thought i was very good. I thought she was very weak on foreign policy, weak on the border. At the same time, a confident Harris Campaign immediately suggested a second debate next month. She wants it because she lost. Do you have an answer . I dont have to think about it, but if you won the debate, i sort of think maybe i shouldnt do it. Why should i do another debate . And we will win Postdebate Celebrations in the Harris Camp were capped by a huge celebrity endorsement, as Taylor Swift declared, after watching that event, she will be voting for Kamala Harris. There sarah smith, bbc news, philadelphia. Decided by just a decided byjust a few hundred thousand voters and a handful of swing states. In 2016, most side with Donald Trump and into thousand 20, they tip the scales forjoe biden. Our correspondent has been to detroit and the key state of michigan to hear how it was viewed by voters there. On the streets of saginaw county, the canvassers are battling for every vote, sometimes quite literally. You know, that is and when i ran into earlier. Vote for Trump Harris is a joke she is a clown underneath the new paint, this is still Rust Belt country. Once solid democrat, Donald Trump snatched a narrow victory here in 2016, with michigans closed down car plants the backdrop to his message of american decline. She has no policy. There are still Car Workers here, and that this union organised event. What are you going to do . there was no doubting the allegiance. Cheering as they rooted for Kamala Harris. The true measure of the leader. But in these uncertain times, dig a bit deeper and the political tensions are easy to find. There is a lot less people than they were expecting, and one of the organisers has told me that his father and his uncles, all of them lifelong union men, have all gone over to trump, and he is not sure about his sun. Is not sure about his son. In a deeply divided state, it is the undecided voters who will call the outcome of this election stop so what did they make of the debate . I do like what she is talking about, in particular about womens rights. Im real big on that. And also, most of all, the economy. Enough to vote for her . Probably. I grew up here. My whole life. I have been here when we had factory plants at every corner of our major roads. Its all gone. Im going to vote for trump. Debates are fleeting. It is economic sentiments that sway voters. This company publishes giant trucks, the lifeblood of americas economy. Trump has this message of a broken america. Does that resonate with you . Yeah, i think america is kind of broken right now. I think everyones Kind Ofjust fighting to keep their head above the water. Its here in the hard grimy work that democrats used to count on you get a sense of the changes that make this election so close. John sud worth, bbc news, michigan. I spoke to the Pollster And Author and began to ask them of the debate had swung the dial towards either candidate. I doubt that. We dont have any Horse Race pulling yet, at least good Horse Race pulling and we do have a sense that Vice President harris won the debate and probably one on points as opposed to a knockout blow, there were no knockout blows, perse. But donald blow, there were no knockout blows, per se. But Donald Trump certainly got his shots in into his Point Of View in and he was downright goofy, ridiculous at some points with things that he said about infanticide being legal in some states and crowd sizes being the largest in history or eating pets, that is been debunked. And he probably had the line of the evening which was you have been here for three and a half years, why havent you done the things that youre promising to do now. I thought those a good line. And earlier polling shows she did when the debate but they do not believe that ive been polling for exactly a0 years now, that you will see much of a bump, maybe a couple of points for harris but that is about it. Of points for harris but that is about it. Wondering about voters and is about it. Wondering about voters and looking is about it. Wondering about voters and looking at is about it. Wondering about voters and looking at Sociall Voters and looking at Social Media, you will see various clips that we showed there in the Headline Bits talking about abortion and talking about eating pets if you watch the whole debate, you get a different sense from it and how much to people watch the whole debate in homage to people know what they know just from the clips they will see on Social Media in their News Programmes. Those who watch the entire debates already have their minds made up and that those who either undecided or busy living their lives and their families, they cannot devote 90 minutes or two hours to watching an entire debate and will rely on pieces of it and clips from that. Those are the ones you want to target but those lines, those prosecutorial lines from Kamala Harris and those statements from Donald Trump, those of the things i will be played over and over again mainstream media and over again mainstream media and Social Media and we will have to see. This is kind of new territory for us. Having everything so nasty and out of whack. Lets talk to the political correspondent at the hill. Thank you forjoining us on bbc news. There have been a lot of comments on News Programmes and what has been the take away feeling from the debate Last Night . Is it what people expected from the two candidates . If expected from the two candidates . Expected from the two candidates . candidates . It is interesting because in candidates . It is interesting because in the candidates . It is interesting because in the lead candidates . It is interesting because in the lead up candidates . It is interesting because in the lead up to i candidates . It is interesting l because in the lead up to the debate i was hearing a lot of people on the Harris Campaign lowering expectations singular, we expect this debate to be a draw, we do not expect her to come out and when and if you think that it is going to be pretty even. And they did a good job lowering expectations because not only did she meet the bar, she exceeded it in today, that is the Talk Year that everyone has very good strong opinions for her in things she did a really good job and the early dials of the campaign say undecided voters were very moved by her and thought she did well in the Taylor Swift endorsement was the cherry on top for the Harris Campaign Last Night and i think looking ahead, feeling very good and they want a former president to do another debate based on Last Night. What you think the chances are that they will be having another debate . I that they will be having another debate . I think they both needed. Another debate . I think they both needed. In another debate . I think they both needed. In some another debate . I think they both needed. In some ways, j another debate . I think they both needed. In some ways, she needsit both needed. In some ways, she needs it because voters are still undecided about her recent polls in the New York times is indicated as much that theres some Wiggle Room that she still needs to do a good job of introducing or reintroducing herself and i think he clearly needs it because he had a bad night Last Night and his campaign knows it and they privately acknowledged it, republicans are privately acknowledging it and they said theyre very upset that he didnt stay on message that he didnt stay on message that he didnt really talk about the issues, he was baited and he was baited on various issues instead of talking about the economy and talking about immigration and felt he wouldve done a betterjob if he is stayed on message. Bitter he is stayed on message. After the debate he is stayed on message. After the debate finished, he is stayed on message. After the debate finished, he, the debate finished, he, himself went into the Spin Room to talk to journalists directly and said that the message from thatis and said that the message from that is that he felt that he didnt perhaps do as well as he could have even if thats not what he actually said. Yes could have even if thats not what he actually said. What he actually said. Yes it is very trump what he actually said. Yes it is very trump like what he actually said. Yes it is very trump like in what he actually said. Yes it is very trump like in a what he actually said. Yes it is very trump like in a Way L is very trump like in a way that he was trying to control the narrative poems of the very end and pass the debate and continues to do that to this day and says look, this is my best debate and even the republicans proudly say that this was his worst debate and that he isnt as strong and not as disciplined as he was in previous elections and that is why he does need another go at this. why he does need another go at this. ~ ,. this. Take us through the preparation this. Take us through the preparation that this. Take us through the preparation that both preparation that both candidates went through there was a lot of talk that Kamala Harris locked yourself away and have been prepping for the best part of the week and going through mock debates in the suggestion that Donald Trump might not have done the same, did you get the sense that showed in the performances Last Night .

By the most notorious murders during the troubles. The 39 year old was shot dead by Loyalist Paramilitaries in by Loyalist Pa ramilitaries in front by Loyalist Paramilitaries in front of his wife and children. His family have been campaigning for decades for a Public Inquiry to publish the extent of the security force involvement. A previous investigation has already found evidence that members of the Security Forces colluded in the murder of Pat Finucane. Now, a Public Inquiry is set to examine the extent of their involvement. The northern Ireland Secretary said the decision would follow through on guarantees which passed ministers gave, but didnt act on. Two decades on, the commitment made by the government, first in the agreement with the irish government and then to this house to establish an inquiry into the death of Mr Finucane remains unfulfilled. It is for this exceptional reason that i have decided to establish an independent inquiry. Mr finucane was a high Profile Defence Lawyer during the conflict known as the troubles. He was shot 1a times in front of his family at his home. The gunmen were from the Loyalist Group the ulster defence association. Two paramilitaries involved in the murder were working as informers for the police and the army. The solicitor s son, who is now an mp, said the full truth has never come out. The state targeted, and set in place, set in Motion Events that meant my father was murdered in front of all of us as we ate our dinner. The Term Collusion was dismissed, and we have had to fight tooth and nail, every step of the way. Pat finucanes family have taken Court Cases to try to get the government to call a Public Inquiry. He was one of more than 3,500 people who died during 30 years of violence here until the late 19905. The question of how killings should be investigated remains one of the most complex and contentious issues in Northern Ireland. The inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane will examine another aspect of an horrific history. Chris page, bbc news, belfast. Fairly significant debate which took place on television Last Night between president ial hopeful Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, lots of facts to check and some of them are checked during the programme and others who have been looking back on and will be back with our colleagues to just go through it with a fine tooth comb. Please stay with us. Hello there. Things should get a little bit warmer over the weekend, but right, now its still cold out there. Weve seen a lot of showers earlier on today, some dramatic Weather Watcher pictures. It took a while for the showers to push down into more southern counties of england, and here we saw the best of the sunshine. The showers have been heavy. Weve had some hail in there as well, and we still have this very showery Air Stream with low pressure between us and scandinavia. Weve got a northwesterly wind here, but the winds originating perhaps as far north as the arctic circle, which is giving us the chill. And as those winds do become lighter overnight and skies tend to clear, the temperatures are going to drop quite quickly, the showers retreating back to exposed coastal areas. So, for many of us, it will be dry and clear and probably a little bit colder than Last Night. A typically four or five degrees, but maybe close to freezing in scotland and also for northern england. A sunny start for many showers to begin with for Northern Ireland, wales, the far southwest, Northern Scotland and down those North Sea coasts. And as temperatures rise just a little, so the cloud will build up and well see showers developing inland as well. Not as many, not as heavy as weve seen today, and the winds still northwesterly, but not quite as strong. It doesnt really help the temperatures, mind you still 13 15 degrees below average for this time of the year. Weve got the cold air in place and before this Weather Front tracks in from the atlantic, this nose of High Pressure will build across on Thursday Night and friday morning, killing off the showers, making the winds very light and with clear skies. This could be the coldest night of the week. Early friday could start with a frost in some places, particularly for scotland and Northern Ireland. Sunny start for many, but clouds will increase through the day. Were going to find that Weather Front bringing some rain into Northern Ireland, and then later in the day, into Western Parts of scotland, should be dry for england and wales and temperatures a little bit higher here by friday, still pretty cold out there for scotland and Northern Ireland after that potentially frosty start over the weekend. High pressure in the south, low pressure to the north. Ill bring some wet and windy weather into northern areas on saturday and as that Weather Front moves south, its just going to weaken all the while. So, scotland and Northern Ireland will see those winds do become wider overnight and temperatures are going to drop quite quickly. Some wetter, windy weather on saturday. The weather will be improved by sunday. Further south, little or no rain for england and wales, but for all of us, temperatures are going to be higher. This is bbc news. The headlines.
