Week. Lets get to some of the conversations you might have missed. Lets talk about the debate. In your latest piece you write quote, the most important thing i saw Kamala Harris who was pre blocking, not debunking, was waiting for someone to lie, and hit back with the truth. It is not working politics as much as you would hope it would in saturated lies, but free bunking is explain to people how they are being, or better yet will be related, what the motive is, how the con works, how the lie will be crafted and will function, and for extra credit, who benefits from it and how. In the age of trump, too any of his appointments have been debunked and no prebunked. And she said it at the outset, she said, let me say, you will hear a whole bunch of lies. And as he rolled them out, she explained why they were lies. We have talked about one of the most interesting stories about the ascension of Kamala Harris at the top of this ticket is that she has brought with her a lot of new thinking that
It s fu him to end this but today was about having the chance to not talk about a tactic but a strategy in relation to ukraine. Russia s president vladimir putin says lifting these restrictions would represent the nato alliance s direct participation in the ukraine war. We heard the same argument from russia s representative at the un. Translation: if the decision to lift restrictions is really taken, from that moment, nato countries are conducting direct war with russia.

Our security correspondent gordon corera explains why. These are the western weapons at the heart of today s debate. They include american atacms and this, the british storm shadow system, which has a range of at least 250 kilometres. Storm shadow has already been used by ukraine against a russian base in occupied crimea last year,

Kamala harris has her eyes on the prize. The battleground prize, that is. Building off that debate momentum. The vice president is igniting voters in pennsylvania, where she and her opponent are locked in a dead heat. Also tonight, the clear and present danger of trump s big lies. And how americans pay the price. This time, it s haitian immigrants panicked by a new wave of hate. Plus, the latest on the rightwing freakout over taylor swift. But we begin tonight with the disgusting lies that donald trump continues to elevate about the haitian immigrant community in springfield, ohio. People who are just trying to mind their own business, go to work and school every day, and live their american dream. Yet this man, who has hordes of followers willing to enact violence on his behalf as seen on january 6th,
Are currently in russia. One russian Tv Channel aired footage claiming to show them leaving the country. The Foreign Office here in london has yet to comment. It follows President Putins warning that russia would consider the use of us and british suppled long range missiles on targets inside russia as a serious escalation of the war in ukraine. The uks Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is due to discuss giving permission when he meets President Biden in washington today.

Footage claiming to show them leaving the country. The Foreign Office here in london has yet to comment. For the very latest on this developing story, i spoke to our eastern European Correspondent sarah rainsford.

Its interesting looking of a statement from the fsb, the russian security agency, when they are talking about X Bellingham essentially six members of the british embassy, accusing them of espionage and subversive activity. It is interesting, they also go on to talk about britain being responsible for escalating what they describe as the military political situation right now, they say britain is coordinating all of this and claiming that there is a department of t
