If You Arejustjoining us welcome to the programme. We have the perfect Panel Tonight as we drill into the two biggest stories of the moment, that in many ways, overlap. The long feared wider war in The Middle East, and with less than five week to the vote, the battle for the White House. Joe biden and Kamala Harris are in two of the key Battleground States this hour, assessing for themselves the fallout from Hurricane Helene. While in New York last night, the high Stakes Showdown between the two running mates. With Foreign Policy a major part of it. When our allies see Donald Trump turned towards vladimir putin, turned towards north korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness around Holding Coalitions together, we will stay committed and as the Vice President said today, we will protect our forces and other allied forces and there will be consequences. Iran is as close will be consequences. Iran is as close to will be consequences. Iran is as close to a will be consequences. Iran is as close to a nuclear will be consequences. Iran is as close to a nuclear Weapon J as close to a nuclear Weapon Today as close to a nuclear Weapon Today as as close to a nuclear Weapon Today as they have ever been and you today as they have ever been and you blame Donald Trump, who has been and you blame Donald Trump, who has been the Vice President for the last has been the Vice President for the last three and a half years and the the last three and a half years and the answer is your running mate, and the answer is your running mate. Not and the answer is your running mate, Not mine. Right now the commander in chief, isjuggling two events that pose significant political risk to the democrats, and their chances of reclaiming the White House. First their response to the hurricane. Second their reaction to events last night in israel. And on his tour of North Carolina this afternoon, Joe Biden told reporters, he would Not support any Plans Netenyahu might have to attack irans nuclear sites. The answer is no. And i think we will be discussing with israel what they are going to do but all seven as follows agreed that they have a right to respond. The biden administration has been shifting its position first cautioning against an invasion of lebanon and the risk of a wider war and are defending the right to the respond but advising against any direct attack against its nuclear facilities and thats his position today, does he have any leverage . Definitely a tricky Situation have any leverage . Definitely a tricky Situation in have any leverage . Definitely a tricky Situation in which have any leverage . Definitely a tricky Situation in which we tricky Situation in which we continue to have so many lives lost in this battle and its an escalation that no one outside of probably israel and whats happening in lebanon, but we want to see. It is also very difficult forJoe Biden and harris because of you look at the state of michigan which is the state of michigan which is the largest population of middle eastern and north african ancestry within the state, many of those voters are going to set up the selection because they do Not like the response of the Biden Harris Administration and so, yes, the its true more clarity in how the us will approach the Situation and we understand that President Biden is bringing more forces to the mediterranean and yet he has said again that they are Not going to assist israel in any kind of bombing of nuclear sites at the end of the day, this escalation is one that is Not helpful for anyone, quite frankly in the Situation.

The context, i think that is administration . The context, i think that is an administration . The context, i think that is an acute administration . The context, i think that is an acute moment| think that is an acute moment and lets look at the broader context. When Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2016, he tasked the Secretary Of State to essentially the department. He did Not appoint ambassadors for weeks on end and then try to pull back and a lot of regions they think youre seeing some of the followed here of whats going on and the united states used to have much more influence in this region than it does and were Not talking about weapons, providing weapons to israel at the moment, and we are talking about influence. For months, weve heard the biden administration tied by looking for a Cease Fire, pushing both hamas and israel to try to get to a Cease Fire. No Cease Fire has materialised in yet this is the united states, the powerful superpower in the world that, why is that, lets look at what is happening in last decade or what why is that, lets look at what is happening in last decade or so in the previous so in the previous administration has been getting administration has been getting the State Department and being the State Department and being much more protectionist, much more protectionist, isolationist and withdrawing from the global stage and if isolationist and withdrawing from the global stage and if you look back a little bit you look back a little bit further, going back to the further, going back to the 0bama Administration when 0bama Administration when talking about syria and red talking about syria and Red Lines and so i can buy Red Lines and so i can buy Red Lines and so i can buy Red Lines which were Not upheld, of lines and so i can buy Red Lines which were Not upheld, of us and you have a lot of us and you have a lot of people, a lot of bad actors in people, a lot of bad actors in The Middle East The Middle East starting to question the might starting to question the might of this and if theyre going to of this and if theyre going to follow through when they say follow through when they say there are redlines and there are redlines and incursions and yes, i think it incursions and yes, i think it is with out a doubt the is with out a doubt the withdrawal, pulling out of that withdrawal, pulling out of that plan and certainly, he put the plan and certainly, he put the entire region into a bit more entire region into a bit more of a flux because it was an of a flux because it was an unknown and yes, itll be to unknown and yes, itll be to Keep Iran to upholding its Keep Iran to upholding its power and into the Bargain And Power and into the bargain and allowing international allowing international inspectors to look at the inspectors to look at the sites, Howeverwhen Inspectors to look at the sites, however when they tore sites, Howeverwhen Inspectors to look at the sites, however when they tore up sites, however when they tore up sites, however when they tore up that agreement, it allowed up that agreement, it allowed for open season increasing growing escalations here in the region in the bottom line of all of this is this over talking about here, the humanitarian cost of the moment is absolutely outrageous and 41,000 people so far in the majority of them in gaza have been caught up in this conflict and this shows no sign of subsiding and how is the united states going to regain any type of influence given the last few years that i mentioned. Maybe that is the years that i mentioned. Maybe that is the problem, years that i mentioned. Maybe that is the problem, maybe. That is the problem, maybe theres been too much because the Prime Minister until the american president ial election has a right moment to try to set this nuclear programme backed by years and this is his window and that is why we are in such a dangerous that is the problem, maybe position right now. Yes theres been now. Jch that is the problem, maybe theres been � now. Why we are in such a dangerous position right now. Position right now. Yes and then you position right now.

President trump decided to say President Trump decided to say thatjerusalem was the Capital Thatjerusalem was the capital and was going to move the us and was going to move the us embassy there out of Tel Aviv Embassy there out of Tel Aviv and the chaos that was created and the chaos that was created after that stop this is become after that stop this is become after that stop this is become a very central issue a part of after that stop this is become a very central issue a part of the american election right now the american election right now and it will have consequences and it will have consequences Notjust and it will have consequences Notjust and it will have consequences Not just on and it will have consequences Notjust on election day, we Not just on and it will have consequences Notjust on election day, we have people in michigan were have people in michigan were allowed to vote early and we allowed to know again, michigan was one by 154000 votes by president there was a moment last night a Brief Interlude Where American Politics was barely unrecognizable two candidates, from opposite sides of the aisle, engaging American Politics was barely recognizable two candidates, from opposite sides of the aisle, engaging in a respectful, substantive debate about policy. Two men from the mid west senatorJd Vance, minnesota gov. Tim walz reminding us of what politics used to be. And maybe that explains why the public found it hard to pick a winner. The Cbs Poll suggested it was almost a score draw. 42 said Jd Vance won it. 41 went for walz, 17 saying it was too close to call. 88 said it was a positive experience you dont hear that very often but maybe that was down to moments like this. Look, ive got a 17 year old and he witnessed a shooting in and he witnessed a shooting t the Community Centre playing volleyball. Those things dont leave you. I volleyball.

He was a completely different characterisation of who he has been in quite frankly since he got into the political ring and so, tim was straight and steady and was able to back up being a Support System for Kamala Harris and i think he did hisjob last night. It think he did his ob last nitht. ,. , night. It might be a catastrophic night. It might be a | catastrophic success night.

Im sure he is Not| going to viewed very favourably he doesnt like it if anyone else is stealing his spotlight and is been very well documented. And as an addition to the conversation, the headlines were very atypical. Its a return to civility, how lovely. But i think you made the excellent points here that it really was a Master Class in Gas Lighting from Jd Vance. He was slicker than the oil that he and Donald Trump state when they say Drill Baby drill.

Well be right back. Hello. Well, northern parts of the uk have had plenty of sunshine today, but yet again across england, its been a cloudy picture with frequent showers. Really, the weather has left a lot to be desired, certainly after that wet september. Heres the good news if you want some drier and brighter weather thursday, friday and to an extent into saturday, the weather is looking a little bit better. Gap in the clouds at the moment with high Pressure Building across the uk, and in fact, as we go through the course of this evening, skies will tend to clear across the bulk of the country. The winds are going to be light, so that means it is going to turn quite chilly early on thursday morning. In some spots, north or south temperatures could be just a few degrees above freezing, and thats in sheltered areas out of town. Some Mist And Fog in places, too, but in bigger cities and around coastal areas, i think around 6 9 degrees. So, High Pressure firmly in charge of the weather on thursday anchored across the uk. That means light winds, prolonged sunshine, scattered fair weather clouds and this is from early morning onwards right through the course of the day. So, weve got a beautiful thursday on the way, and i think itll feel pleasant enough. The temperatures will be somewhat below the average for the time of the year, but we could do worse around 15 degrees in glasgow, 16 expected in the south of the country. Now, thursday into friday, that High Pressure is going to show signs of slipping away a little bit towards the east, giving way to atlantic weather fronts, and that does spell cloud and at least some rain across ireland and also into Western Parts of scotland. But the further East And Southeast you are, the better the weather will be on friday, and i think beautiful weather on the way for East Anglia and the southeast. 17 celsius expected in london. Further north, i think itll be a little fresher, maybe 13 15 degrees. So, thats how we end the week heres a look at the weekend and into next week. Low pressures once again sweeping off the atlantic and it is looking distinctly unsettled in the days ahead. In fact, here we have the Tail End of an Atlantic Hurricane potentially heading our way. Its still a long way off, but basically, it means that Theres Plenty of wet and windy weather in the forecast in the days ahead. So, heres a look at the weekend steadily going downhill. And then weve got Rain Icons pretty much for most of next week, but the temperatures still hovering around the mid teens. Thats it for me. Bye bye. Hello, im christian fraser.
