Announcer from abc news this is world news now. Good morning to you. We begin this half hour with the first democratic debate. Five contntders looking to pick up momomtum on the road t tthe white house. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders managed to hold their own in las vegas last night, but there was no clear breakout moment for the three candidates languishing in singledigit poll numbers. A look now at some of the highlights of the night. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] me too. Enough of the emails. Lets talkbout the real issues facing america. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, bernie. Congress does not regulate wall street. Wall street regulates congress. A meeting with the chinese and got them to sign up to the First International agreement to combat Climate Change that theyd ever joined. So im not taking a back seat to anybody on my values, my principles, and the results that i get. Youre against samesex marriage. Nonoyoure for it. You defended president obamas immigration policies. Now you say theyre too harsh. You supported his trade deal dozens of times. You even called it the gold standard. Now suddenly last week youre against it. Will you say anything to get elected . Well, actually, i have been very consistent over the course of my entire life. Time and time again i have never changed. Youre looking at a block of granite when it comes to the issues. If we do not address the Global Crisis of Climate Change, transform our Energy System away from fossil fuels to sustainable energy, the planet that were going to be leaving our kids and our grandchildren may well not be habitable. Our greatest longterm strategic challenges are relations with china. Our greatest daytoday threat is cyber warfare against this country. You want to talk about a rigged game, senator . The game was rigged. Its time to stand up and pass comprehensive gun safety legislation as a nation. As Hillary Clinton showed off her sharp debating skills her husband was not in the room. The former president clinton was proudly keeping a close eye from the sidelines. Tweeting this photo from his Vegas Hotel Room saying he was watching his wife prove shes the most qualified candidate.

Our camera caught a quick glimpse of him as he got in his motorcade before leaving the white house. As to his decision, radio silence. Although the spokesperson for the current president said theres only so much longer he can really wait. I think the Vice President himself has a couple of different public settings. Acknowledge that hell have to make a decision relatively soon. Reporter even some of bidens supporters are privately going irritated by his indecisiveness. As one told abc news, the window is closing quickly. With the debate over, all eyes are now on joe biden as he is expected to finally make that decision soon. Jonathan karl, abc news, new york. Our coverage of the our next half hour with more analysis and reaction. For insightful political coverage stay with abc news. On to a developing story this morning, former nba and reality tv star lamar odom is being treated at a las vegas hospital after being found unconscious at a brothel. Medics were called in yesterday when odom was found to be unresponsive. He was stabilized and driven to vegas because his 610 frame was just too big for a helicopter. Odom was married to Khloe Kardashian for four years. They divorced in 2013. And medical examiners in iowa say former nfl player tyler sash died last month from an accidental overdose of powerful pain medications. Sash was 27 years old. He was found dead at his home on september 8th. Additional studies will be done to see whether sash suffered from a brain disease caused by repetitive trauma thats been found in several former nfl players. Planned parenthood has made a major policy change following the release of those undercover videos. The group says it will continue to provide fetal tissue to researchers but will cover the koflths costs itself rather than accepting any reimbursement. Republicans in congress have responded to the undercover videos by launching investigations and attempts to end federal funding. Three people have died following a Small Plane Crash in south florida. The tragedy happened late yesterday afternoon in the Palm Beach County town of palm springs. Witnesses say the plane suddenly dropped out of the sky, hit two mobile homes and burst into es. One resident says he fears his daughter was killed in the crash. Russia is disputing a report by dutch investigators into the downing of Malaysia Flight 17. That report found that a russianmade missile brought down the aircraft, killing everyone on board. Abcs terry moran has more. Reporter at an air base in the netherlands a shredded front section of the Malaysia Airlines plane reconstructed by investigators loomed like a grim ghost over the press conference. Flight mh17 crashed as the result of the detonation of a warhead outside the airplane. Reporter july 17th last year the boeing 777 shot out of a Clear Blue Sky as it flew above wartorn ukraine. Months of painstaking work shown in that remarkable video release allowed investigators to reconstruct the final moments of the flight, which they animated dramatically. This warhead explodes to the left and above the cockpit of mh17. Reporter investigators say the cockpit crew was killed instantly. They found telltale fragments of a russianmade buk missile in their bodies. And for the passengers, unimaginable horror. The front of the plane torn off, a deafening sound wave ripping through the cabin, a blast of frigid air, decompression and loss of oxygen. Those who werent killed instantly, investigators say, could barely comprehend what was happening. But one passenger was found with an oxygen mask on, and abcs aviation experts say some passengers may have remained conscious for up to 30 seconds. The investigation describes how the plane was shot down but not who did it. Dutch prosecutors are working on that. Meanwhile, russia has rejected the findings, saying that missile is no longer in its arsenal. Terry moran, abc news, london. A gun store and its owner are liable in the shooting of two Police Officers. A milwaukee jury found badger guns broke four laws in selling the gun used to shoot the cops in the face. One suffered brain damage. The jury found the practices at the store to be shoddy and irresponsible. The verdict included nearly 6 million in damages. The store plans to appeal. A North Carolina hospital says it is now bedbugfree. The Medical Center in salisbury denies it was ever infested but blames the bedbug outbreak on a patient who brought the bloodsucking insects into the clinic. Its fairly unusual for bedbugs to actually be on somebodys body just being there and not feeding, which would indicate that its a very large Walking Around with, say, 20 bedbugs on you. Hospital administrators say the two areas visited by the patient were disinfected. The hospital also donated a new bed to the family of the patient and paid for an exterminator. Yeah.

But lithium ion batteries like these which power everything from our cell phones to our computers and those credit card readers, can ignite and burst into flames. Reporter thats why the faa is alerting passengers not to check extra batteries. And as this test shows, the agency wants a worldwide ban on airlines carrying bulk shipments of batteries.

And gl and im reena ninan. It felt like a thinking mans debate last night. It was all about substantive issues. Really smart conversations. But you really had to think through a lot of things. There werent these funny sort of moments necessarily where people were attack each other. But it was really interesting to watch. Yeah, definitely was not the Republican Debate. The first chance that we get a chance to see the democrats all vying for the top spot there. All in one spot. All in one spot. Very intriguing. Five democrats trying to make a run for the white house. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed. They sure did. It was the first debate. They had several key issues. But that of course did not stop him from coming to her defense and the other three candidates struggling to distinguish themselves. Abcs brandi hitt has a recap from las vegas. Good morning, bandrandi. Reporter good morning, phillip. Good morning, reena. Fiery but civil. Thats what people are saying about last nights big democratic debate. We saw Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders still go after each other on some key policy issues, but the biggest cheers also came during a key moment of support. The first democratic faceoff for president heated up instantly over gun control. Secretary clinton, is Bernie Sanders tough enough on guns . No. Not at all. Reporter frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders going head to head. I supported a ban on assault weapons. Reporter with Lincoln Chafee and Martin Omalley jumping in. The nra gets its way in our congress and we take a back seat. I would bring the gun lobby in and say weve got to change this. Where can we find Common Ground . Reporter clinton was asked about her record as secretary of state and the deadly attack on the u. S. Embassy in benghazi. Unless you believe the United States should not send diplomats to any place that is dangerous, which i do not, then when we send them forth there is always the potential for danger and risk. Reporter the moderators even brought up republican frontrunner donald trump during the debate. Donald trum. And his billionaire friends under my policies are going to pay a hell of a lot more in taxes. Reporter they also took questions from facebook. Do black lives matter . As president of the United States every life in this country matters. Reporter but the biggest moment of the night involved clintons controversial email scandal with her private server. Ive taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake. Reporter and with that she got support from sanders. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. Me too. Me too. Reporter that was classic Bernie Sanders. And that moment also got a standing ovation from the crowd. Live this morning from the spin room you can see everythings pretty much over here at the debate site. Theyre kind of cleaning up the spin room now. One potential candidate who was not on stage last night was vice President Joe Biden. Were expecting to hear if he is going to be running for president later on this week. Reporting live here in las phillip and reena, well send it back over to you. One quick question. What was the reaction to the candidates on social media . Reporter you know what, when you look at some of the numbers, Bernie Sanders did really, really well. Right off the top he was the most googled candidate out of them all. Clinton was second. And when you look at twitter followers off the top he also gained 28,000 twitter followers toward the beginning of the debate compared to clintons 10,000 new twitter followers. So he clearly maybe people just dont know a lot about him. They certainly got Bernie Sanders last night. Sounds like an interesting night. Brandi, you were there for the entire day. Thank you so much. Live in las vegas. Thanks again. We continue our coverage now with abcs deputy political director shushana walsh. Good morning. There were lots of powerful moments in this debate. Lets start with the sound bite on the gun control clash. Secretary clinton, is Bernie Sanders tough enough on guns . No. Not at all. The fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence. This has gone on too long, and its time the entire country stood up against the nra. What i can tell secretary clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what i would hope all of us want. This was really the faceoff of the night. Sanders may be the most liberal person in the entire race but not on gun control. And Hillary Clinton pounced and it was a strong moment for her. Perhaps the most talked about moment of the night was sanders almost helping clinton on that private email controversy. Absolutely. It was the buzziest moment. Lets listen. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. Me too. Me too. The American People want to know whether were going to have a democracy or oligarchy as a result of citizens united. Enough of the emails. Facing america. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, bernie. Now, this moment went absolutely viral, and sanders came out into the spin room afterwards, and he said it was really a spontaneous moment. But you saw him backing her up there. She shook his hands afterwards. And the audience actually rose to their feet. This was really kind of the budsiest moment of the entire debate. It was so much fun to watch. And apparently they said it really was spontaneous. Thats what he says, yeah. There were three other guys also that we kind of forget about. Lincoln chafee, jim webb, Martin Omalley. You kind of hope for these guys theres some breakout moment. How did this debate impact their poll numbers . Well, you said it, reena. They really needed that breakout moment. Last time i was here we were talking about Carly Fiorina and her breakout moments in the gop debates. Martin omalley really needed that tonight. He wants to be the antihillary candidate, the one that Bernie Sanders is now. And he really did not have that moment tonight. And neither did Lincoln Chafee or jim webb. And now the conversation switches to the democrat that many wanted to have seen on stage tonight. Thats Vice President biden. Is he any closer to making a decision about running . Its really the question hanging over this entire race still. What will joe do . We expect some sort of decision later this week, maybe even next week. But what we do know is by november 6th that is when the filing deadlines start. Thats really the last absolute date three weeks. Do we know where he was tonight exactly . Where was he watching . He must have been watching. He was at the Vice President s residence. He was watching. But before the debate he actually hosted a High School Reunion with some high school pals at the Vice President s residence. So you can imagine what they were asking him. Oh, this seems like a very joe biden thing to do. Right . Absolutely. Freddie from the block. Much more fun than hanging out at the debate. They were definitely im sure weighing in on that big decision. Youre right, shush. Shush p. Annah walshe. Thanks for having me on.

Clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what i would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing. Reporter but the most dramatic moment came after she was pressed on her use of a private internet server for official emails. I did say it was a mistake.

Now suddenly last week youre against it. Will you say anything to get elected . Well, actually, i have been very consistent over the course of my entire life. Time and time again i have never changed. Youre looking at a block of granite when it comes to the issues.

Mercy. A running tally so far is up to 350. I dont know what that numbers going to be by november 1st, but im sure its going to be very high. Reporter thats just in two weekends of being open.

Announcer from abc news, this is world news now. Busy wednesday. Im phillip mena. And im reena ninan. It felt like a thinking mans debate last night. It was all about substantive issues. Really smart conversations. But you really had to think through a lot of things. There werent these funny sort of moments necessarily where were attacking each other, but it was really interesting to watch. Yeah. Definitely was not. The Republican Debate the first chance that we get a chance to see the democrats all vying for the top spot there. All in one spot. All in one spot. Very intriguing. Five democrats trying to make a run for the white house. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed. They sure did. It was the first debate. They had several key issues. But that of course did not stop him from coming to her defense and the other three candidates struggling to distinguish themselves. Abcs brandi hitt has a recap from las vegas. Good morning, brandi. Reporter good morning, phillip. Good morning, reena. Fiery but civil. Thats what people are saying about last nights big democratic debate. Each other on some key policy issues, but the biggest cheers also came during a key moment of support. The first democratic faceoff for president heated up instantly over gun control. Secretary clinton, is Bernie Sanders tough enough on guns . No. Not at all. Reporter frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders going head to head. I supported a ban on assault weapons. Reporter with Lincoln Chafee and Martin Omalley jumping in. The nra gets its way in our congress and we take a back seat. I would bring the gun lobby in and say weve got to change this. Where can we find Common Ground . Reporter clinton was asked about her record as secretary of state and the deadly attack on the u. S. Embassy in benghazi. Unless you believe the United States should not send diplomats to any place that is dangerous, which i do not, then when we send them forth there is always the potential for danger and risk. Reporter the moderators even brought up republican frontrunner donald trump during the debate. Donald trump and his billionaire friends under my policies are going to pay a hell of a lot more in taxes. Questions from facebook. Do black lives matter . As president of the unite states, every life in this country matters. Reporter but the biggest moment of the night involved clintons controversial email scandal with her private server. Ive taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake. Reporter and with that she got support from sanders. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. Me, too. Me, too. [ applause ] reporter that was classic Bernie Sanders. And that moment also got a standing ovation from the crowd. Live this morning from the spin room you can see everythings pretty much over here at the debate site. Theyre kind of cleaning up the spin room now. One potential candidate who was not on stage last night was vice President Joe Biden. re expecting to hear if he is going to be running for president later on this week. Reporting live here in las vegas, brandi hitt. Phillip and reena, well send it back over to you. One quick question. What was the reaction to the candidates on social media . Reporter you know what, when you look at some of the numbers, Bernie Sanders did really, really well. Right off the top he was the most googled candidate out of them all. Clinton was second. And when you look at twitter followers off the top he also gained 28,000 twitter followers toward the beginning of the debate compared to clintons 10,000 new twitter followers. So he clearly maybe people just dont know a lot about hi they certainly got Bernie Sanders last night. Sounds like an interesting night. Brandi, you were there for the entire day. Thank you so much. Live in las vegas. Thanks again. We continue our coverage now with abcs deputy political director shushannah walshe. Good morning. There were lots of powerful moments in this debate. Lets start with the sound bite on the gun control clash. Secretary clinton, is Bernie Sanders tough enough on guns . No. Not at all. The fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence. This has gone on too long, and its time the entire country stood up against the nra. What i can tell secretary clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what i would hope all of us want. This was really the faceoff of the night. Sanders may be the most liberal person in the entire race but not on gun control. And Hillary Clinton pounced and it was a strong moment for her. Perhaps the most talked about moment of the night was sanders almost helping clinton on that private email controversy. Absolutely. It was the buzziest moment. Lets listen. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. Me, too. Me, too. [ applause ] the American People want to know whether were going to have a democracy or oligarchy as a result of citizens united. Enough of the emails. Lets talk about the real issues facing america. Thank you, bernie. Now, this moment went absolutely viral, and sanders came out into the spin room afterwards, and he said it was really a spontaneous moment. But you saw him backing her up there. She shook his hands afterwards. And the audience actually rose to their feet. This was really kind of the buzziest moment of the entire debate. It was so much fun to watch. And apparently they said it really was spontaneous. Thats what he says, yeah. There were three other guys also that we kind of forget about. Lincoln chafee, jim webb, Martin Omalley. You kind of hope for these guys theres some breakout moment. How did this debate impact their poll numbers . Well, you said it, reena. They really needed that breakout moment. Last time i was here we were talking about Carly Fiorina and her breakout moments in the gop debates. Martin omalley really needed that tonight. He wants to be the antihillary candidate, the one that Bernie Sanders is now. And he really did not have that moment tonight. And neither did Lincoln Chafee or jim webb. And now the conversation switches to the democrat that many wanted to have seen on stage tonight. Thats Vice President biden. Is he any closer to making a decision about running . Its really the question hanging over this entire race still. What will joe do . We expect some sort of decision later this week, maybe even next week. But what we do know is by november 6th that is when the filing deadlines start. Thats really the last absolute date three weeks. Do we know where he was tonight exactly . Where was he watching . He must have been watching. He was at the Vice President s residence. He was watching. But before the debate he actually hosted a High School Reunion with some high school pals at the Vice President s residence. So you can imagine what they were asking him. Oh, this seems like a very joe biden thing to do. Right . Absolutely. Freddie from the block. Much more fun than hanging out at the debate. They were definitely im sure weighing in on that big decision. Youre right, shush. Up and shoots the attacker, who collapses. But as a crowd gathers he tries to get up again and keep fighting before being taken down. In the end one victim died in what has been one of the most dramatic incidents in two weeks of relentless violence in israel and the palestinian territories. The fear now, that this is no ordinary spike in violence. Palestinian anger being fueled by israels crackdown. Responses like a bombing in gaza that left a palestinian mother and her young daughter dead. A cycle threatening to spin out of control and turn into an allout conflict. Israel is now reportedly going to start deploying its army into the streets of jerusalem to protect Public Transportation and is also considering checkpoints around palestinian neighborhoods. Alex marquardt, abc news, jerusalem. A top russian official says the dutch report into the downing of malaysia Airlines Flight 17 is flawed.

People say its the curse of the goat. The curse of steve bartman, that guy who reached into the Playing Field and cursed them and they that was the last time they were in the nlcs, 12 years ago.
