Hi, everyone. Dont you love that music. It is 4 00 in New York. The prosecutor versus the felon, the want to be autocrat versus the democrat. A candidate weighed down by incumbency in the eyes of the voters, a candidate who will be the oldest president in our history should he prevail. Versus the candidate of change from a much younger generation. Every contrast that defined the 2024 president ial election could very well be distilled in to 90 minutes on one of the biggest stages of this Campaign Season so far. With the mics muted and no audience with only the moderator as loued to ask the questions and two minutes to answer and two minutes for rebuttal, Vice President Kamala Harris will be up against a candidate who at this point is defined by his lies.

There s a big problem now for trump, isn t there? he s the old guy. He s 78 years old. And people
The attacks left craters several metres deep. In the north of the territory, the un says a convoy of its staff carrying out polio vaccinations was held at gunpoint for eight hours by the israeli army on monday. The staff have now been released, but the un says it s not sure whether it can continue the vaccination campaign as planned. Meanwhile, syria says at least 18 people have been killed and dozens injured in a series of israeli air strikes. Syrian state media says multiple sites were targeted, including scientific research centres. Monitoring organisations say that one of the sites in the city of masyaf was housing pro iranian weapons experts. Iran rejected reports that iranian sites were hit. Israel says it will not comment on reports of the strikes. But israel has previously acknowledged carrying out hundreds of strikes in recent years on targets in syria that it says are linked to iran.
