Good evening. The us president ial candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have attended a memorial in New York on the 23rd anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. It was a much more sombre affair after last Nights Head to Head Tv Debate ahead of the election in november. They were insults and a stream of personal attacks, and they sparred on issues including abortion, Foreign Policy and the economy. Both sides claimed victory after the 90 Minute Debate watched by more than 57 Million people. From philadelphia, heres our North America Editor, sarah smith. At a September 11th memorial service, it was Donald Trump who orchestrated a cordial greeting this morning. Quite a contrast to Kamala Harris striding across the stage last night to demand a handshake from a reluctant mr trump. Good to see you. Have fun. Thank you. It was contentious and ill tempered, with both candidates in attack mode. Stop with the continuous lying about this stuff. What she says is an absolute lie. Yet again, i said it at the beginning of this debate, youre going to hear a bunch of lies coming from this fella. Excuse me, i have to respond. Another lie. This former prosecutor had come prepared to push his buttons. People start leaving his rallies early, out of exhaustion and boredom. Provoking an unsubstantiated rant about illegal migrants in ohio. In springfield, theyre eating the dogs. The people that came in, theyre eating the cats. Theyre eating. Theyre eating the pets of the people that live there. Just watch both their faces. He is clearly bristling with barely contained frustration. Shes enjoying mocking and laughing at him, 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. Ms harris said she would try to reinstate the right to have an abortion. But her Vice President ial pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. He also says execution after birth, its an execution. A claim so outrageously untrue, one of the Debate Moderators had to step in. There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after its 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 . How come shes not doing anything . Democrats here say they are very happy with how Kamala Harris managed to keep Donald Trump on the defensive, 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 and spin his own verdict. I say the truth. If i lose votes or gain votes, i dont care, but this was my best debate. I thought it was very good. I thought she was very weak on Foreign Policy. She was very 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 . Well, i dont know, i 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 Post Debate celebrations in the Harris Camp were capped by a huge celebrity endorsement, as Taylor Swift declared after watching that event, shell be voting for Kamala Harris. Sarah smith, Bbc News, philadelphia. There were as you saw plenty of claims and counter claims. Our Analysis EditorRos Atkins was watching the debate from washington, and has been Fact Checking some of the stand out claims. Donald trump said the Tv Debate was read, and his supporters say it was to against one because the moderators were Fact Checking him more than Kamala Harris but he said much more that was not true. Immigrants in the city of springfield, ohio are. The moderators highlighted that abc had contacted a City Official who had debunked this claim and we have also been sold. Told.

This was different to the joe challenged. This was different to Thejoe BidenDonald Trump debate in june when cnn decided not to Fact Check during the debate, though it did afterwards. This is another illustration of how every since Donald Trump ran in 2016, the media has wrestled with how to respond to the volume of false and misleading claims that he makes. In this debate, both candidates made statements that required correction, but trump did so more than harris, and it is not bias or rigged to point this out. Our North America EditorSarah Smithjoins us. The polls have certainly shifted since President Biden decided not to run again. Just how tight is this election looking . The polls suggest it is still absolutely neck and neck, so although Kamala Harris is feeling confident after putting in a strong performance, that doesnt mean she is assured of victory in november. Consider this, there are only eight weeks to go until the election, but it was just eight weeks ago that the last president ial election saw it was just eight weeks ago that the last president ial Election Sanoe Biden candidacy destroyed and clearly a lot can happen in a short period of time. Last night to give voters a chance to see both of these Candidates Head to head for the first time, they could compare Temperament And Demeanour but they were short changed on policy detail. And as we keep saying because it is true, this election will be decided by a very slim majority in just a very small number of those key swing states.

The Uk Economy failed to grow injuly for the second month in a row according to officialfigures. Manufacturing and construction declined, while services spurred on by a busy summer of sport were the only part of the economy to record some growth. The Chancellor Rachel reeves said next Months Budget will involve difficult decisions on tax, spending and welfare. Here s our economics editor, faisal islam. The british economy was supposed to have been boosted by a Consumer Spending Spree around summers sporting success, such as at the euros football. Todays figures, though, and the experience of players at this seven a Side League in manchester, is that the recovery is pretty fragile. I wouldnt say the cost of living crisis is over. Um, i guess were in a period of change, though, with the government changing. Food prices went up insanely during Covid And Theyve never come back down again. And so were still getting Price Gouged for, like, day to day groceries. And paying more tax doesnt fix that. All the taxes and everything. I feel like maybe they could be directed to people that are more well off because, you know, were struggling already. In northamptonshire, at a technical college next to the silverstone Grand Prix track, the chancellor was hailing an £8 billion Data Centre Investment from tech giant amazon, but defended her decision to scrap universal Winter Fuel payments. Weve had to take difficult decisions to get a grip of the public finances. These werent decisions that we wanted or expected to make, but in the circumstances that we faced, they were the right decisions to get our public finances back on a firmer footing. When the conservatives wanted to do this in 2017, they put it in the manifesto. You didnt choose to be clear to level with the british people that this was an option, even. In our manifesto, theres a commitment to the Triple Lock, and the Triple Lock means that pensions, not means tested, but the new State Pension, is worth £900 more this winter than it was a year ago. The new State Pension is expected to go up by a further £1160 next april. Ive been really clear that the budget on the 30th Of October will require difficult decisions on tax, on spending and on welfare. The chancellor wants to prepare the public for the further pain in the budget, and to be able to blame that on the previous government. And yet, at the same time, she wants international investors like amazon to hear a message of optimism and confidence about the british economy to carry on investing billions of pounds. That is a tricky dual message to pull off. Back in manchester, in some of the City Centre developments hit by years of lockdown and inflation, consumers are out spending in earnest. The action packed summer of sport was an absolute brilliant boost i think for us and im sure it has been for for all of the venues similar to ours. With interest rates falling, the hope was that businesses and households would confidently invest in an economy that has definitively turned a corner. Thats no longer certain. Faisal islam, Bbc News. Our political editor Chris Mason is here. The government has been very clear that its relying on growth two flat months now. How worried will they be . They are worried because it is the backdrop for everything, for the economy, communities around the uk andindeed economy, communities around the uk and indeed for what they are attempting to deliver, and labour before the election talked about their missions for government, and what is Mission Number one . Economic growth, sustained economic growth, as they would have it. Creating the conditions where that happens or failing to do that is going to be absolutely at the heart of whether they succeed or fail in delivering all the things that they are promising to do. In the short term they have decided to go for this what some might say is a soundtrack of miserable lives, gloomy language, and they say that has the merit of what they see as honesty, talking about Tax Rises and spending cuts to come in the budget next month, and there is a stagnant economy, but it is a dilemma because if you sound gloomy all the time, does not become a self fulfilling prophecy . One seniorfigure said in a self fulfilling prophecy . One senior figure said in their meetings privately, the Government Talk about good news meetings, and a gloomy news meetings, and we saw a bit of that playing out today, the news about the economy but the backdrop was the announcement from amazon, so they are trying to calibrate the diagnosis and also the language they use to describe where we are politically and economically. They have got to hope theyre prescription for getting things going works but there is no certainty it will. Going works but there is no certainty it will. Chris mason, thanks for certainty it will. Chris mason, Thanks Forjoining certainty it will. Chris mason, Thanks Forjoining us. The government has ordered an independent Public Inquiry into one of the most high profile murders of the Northern Ireland conflict. The 39 year old lawyer Pat Finucane was shot dead by Loyalist Paramilitaries at his home in belfast in 1989 in front of his wife and children. His family have been campaigning for decades for a Public Inquiry to establish the extent of Security Force involvement. Heres our ireland correspondent, chris page. Previous investigations have 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 past guarantees which 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, whos 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 finucan was one of more than 3,500 people who were killed during 30 years of violence here until the late 1990s. The question of how the deaths should be investigated remains one of the most complex and contentious issues in Northern Ireland. There have been public inquiries into several killings from the troubles. But successive governments have resisted calling one to look into the murder of Pat Finucane. Mr finucane s family took long legal case, which started here at the High Court in belfast, and has ended with the decision today. Some unionist politicians have argued that it Isn Tfair that one murder should be investigated to this degree, when hundreds of others remain unsolved. But that s been rejected by Mr Finucane s relatives . His Widow Geraldine has said she hopes the inquiry will be a watershed moment. A 12 year old boy who admitted taking part in rioting in manchester this summer has become the youngest person to be sentenced so far for his part in the disorder. The judge called it the worst type of feral behaviour. His mother was ordered to pay compensation after she went on holiday instead of attending a previous hearing with her son. Our home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford reports. The 12 year old left court this morning with his mother, whod missed his last hearing so she could go on holiday to ibiza. Hes the youngest person so far to be sentenced as a result of this summers riots. The court heard that when rioters attacked a bus near a Hotel Housing Asylum seekers, the boy, not seen in this footage, was one of the group. Then, four days later, during another riot in manchester City Centre, he was one of a gang of people who kicked at the door of a Vape Shop and looted a sainsbury� s. Districtjudgejoanne hirst said, this was the worst type of feral behaviour. If he was an adult he would have got a Prison Sentence between four and five years. She sentenced the boy to a 12 Month Referral to the youth offending team, and said his mother should pay £1,200 in compensation. Thats about the cost of her holiday to ibiza last week which meant she missed her sons original hearing. Thomas arnold, seen here kicking Police Officers in rotherham, was jailed for two years, two months today, one of more than 250 adults to have been jailed so farfor their roles in the disorder. Police forces are still investigating and are also urging rioters to give themselves up. If you were involved and you were there present and involved in that disorder in southport, in liverpool City Centre, and also within the walton area, i would also urge you to contact us as well, because you will spend a lot of time looking over your shoulder waiting for that knock on the door. Officers are poring over hours of footage from the worst riots for more than a decade, and expect to make many more arrests in the coming weeks. Daniel sandford, Bbc News. There could be big changes for landlords and tenants in england by next summer. The government says it has begun moves to drive out disreputable landlords from the sector and will bring in a ban on no fault evictions. Its all part of the renters Rights Bill introduced in parliament today. Colletta smith has more. Oh, that ones been on before. Thats gone up. Over the last couple of years, ive spoken to so many tenants whove been evicted through no fault of their own, from bolton to london. So theres about 30 people there in total between these two building sites and people are begging, begging to live there. And from reading. So right now, mj and i are in a bedroom on the floor. To north yorkshire. Might have to end up moving back in with my parents maybe. The plans to ban no fault evictions were first introduced 18 months ago, but after pressure from landlords, were delayed and delayed. In that time, record numbers of tenants were evicted, like Stacey And Gavin and their children in halifax. If you own that property, the choice is yours. Youve got options because its, it belongs to you. Us tenants what did i say to my Housing Officer . A section 21 is a Landlords Saviour and a tenants worst nightmare. Today, the new government say they want to end that nightmare with a new law banning no fault evictions, while still allowing landlords to evict tenants who dont pay or are anti social. Well introduce the renters Rights Bill after years of inaction. This government will oversee the biggest Levelling Up of renters� rights in a generation, and i urge the whole house to get behind it. The bill will also allow tenants the right to have a pet, prevent bans on tenants with children or those on benefits, and extend Awaabs Law to the private rented sector. As you can see underneath, its completely disgusting. That means forcing landlords to fix issues like damp and mould within a time limit. Completely rotten. Bidding wars will also be banned so Agents Cant accept bids above the published price, which is common practice at the moment. Sometimes you just have to probably offer more or offer to pay upfront or something just to get it. But landlords say prices will stay high unless there are more properties available. We are already in the middle of a Supply And Demand crisis. What this Bill Wont do is it wont solve some of those problems. It wont build new social housing. It wont bring forward incentives to grow the private rented sector. And there will be some landlords that look at this and think, maybe, maybe its time to move on. Despite those concerns, the new Law Cant come soon enough for tenants. Colletta smith, Bbc News. Newsnight is coming up on Bbc Two shortly, heres victoria derbyshire. Tonight the state of the nhs. At half past ten a huge report will be published into the state of the nhs in england and we will be discussing the problems and we will be asking if Keir Starmer has the solutions.

This will be discussed by the prime minister, the president in washington at the weekend but diplomats say a thing a decision, if it is going to be made, is more likely to happen later in the month when president zelensky meets Mr Biden but it is a debate that matters to people here.

A man with learning disabilities, who was jailed for life 33 years ago for the murder of a shopkeeper in london, has had his conviction quashed by the court of appeal. Oliver campbell was 21 when he was found guilty of murdering Baldev Hoondle in hackney in 1990. Three judges have ruled that his conviction was unsafe. Today, Mr Campbell, who is now in his 50s, said his fight for justice was finally over. I havent had a life. I could have had a full timejob, been in a relationship, had kids, been on holiday. I couldnt do that yesterday, but now i can plan the rest of my life. Our Home Editor Mark easton is here why has this taken so long . It is complicated. It goes back to the murder of Baldev Hoondle in 1990. Mr campbell, then 21, convicted at the old bailey, sentenced to life, released on licence after a decade behind bars. But the ruling was not that Mr Campbell was the victim of some miscarriage ofjustice. Thejudge has criticised an Expert Witness who said police tactics, bullying had led to a false confession. The judges said they were quashing the conviction on a narrow but important basis, that had the original trial had the benefit of modern scientific understanding about the risks of false confession from someone with the kind of Mental ConditionMr Campbell has, he suffered terrible Brain Damage as a baby, thejury might have thought that his confession was less reliable. He will not face a retrial, the judges concluded that would not serve the public interest.
