Toto, face to face, the virtual sparring over, the time that the gloves come off and it wasnt long before the insults started to fly. Im not here to call out his lies, everyone knows hes a liar. Youre the liar. I wa nt to hes a liar. Youre the liar. I want to make sure. You came last in your class, not first in your class. 0h, your class, not first in your class. Oh, god. The spy the first subject being the vacant seat on the supreme court, much of the discussion centred on healthcare and whether the court could scrap the affordable ca re the court could scrap the Affordable Care act. Joe biden said the president wanted to take away healthcare from 20 million americans. The president said he would do a greatjob on drug prices. All of the things that weve done. Ill give you an example, insulin. It was destroying families, destroying people. Im getting it for so cheap, its like water, you wa nt to for so cheap, its like water, you want to know the truth, so cheap. Take a look at all the drugs, what were doing, description drug prices. We are going to allow our governors to go to other countries to buy drugs because they payjust a tiny fraction. The covid19 pandemic was always going to be central to this debate and joe biden wasted no time in laying the blame for americas 7 million cases in 200,000 deaths at the president s door. we would have listened to you, the country would have been left wide open, millions of people would have died, not 200,000, and one person is too much, its chinas fault, it should never have happened. Resident trumps taxes were bound to be a question given claims it only paid 750 in federal income tax on his first year in office. Millionaires and billionaires like him in the middle of the covid crisis have done very well. Billionaires have made another 300 billion because of his profligate to tax proposal and focus on the market. After months of protests following the killing of African Americans by protests following the killing of african america ns by police, protests following the killing of African Americans by police, the president has made law and order a central question in his campaign. He is arguing that the democrats are anti police. Is arguing that the democrats are anti police. You cant even say the word Law Enforcement because if you say those words, youre going to lose all your radical left supporters. And then it all got really personal when the president began his much anticipated attack on joe bidens children. The moderator interrupted the former Vice President bit. He was not a loser, he was a patriot and the people left behind their were heroes and i resent. Like hunter . Im about my son beau biden. Im talking about hunter. Hunter got thrown out of the military. This was a thoroughly bad tempered and chaotic affair. Both sides will claim a victory, both sides will claim a victory, both sides will claim a victory, both sides will live to fight another day. Lets get more on the debate now with our washington correspondent, nomia iqbal. Nomia, who came out on top . What do you think the American Public will pick out of that . Well, not the American Public, thats for sure, according to a lot of the us tv network. 0ne hope priorfile high profile news presenter used to swear word to sum up the debate, another presenter described it as a dumpsterfire. Another presenter described it as a dumpster fire. We always another presenter described it as a dumpsterfire. We always knew another presenter described it as a dumpster fire. We always knew that President Trump would be like this ina President Trump would be like this in a debate. We know his style, we just saw it there. The Trump Campaign team actually set a pretty low bar for Campaign Team actually set a pretty low barforjoe biden, there are a lot of baseless accusations made about his Mental Health and so forth and he skipped over the bar as we saw in the debate. But donald trump still wa nts saw in the debate. But donald trump still wants to portray himself as the outsider that he has a record to defend, hes been president forfour yea rs defend, hes been president forfour years and still wants to show that joe biden is the ultimate career politician, having been in office for 47 years but the big question is, does it change anything, do people care about this debate . Cbs, 48 said biden one, a01 people care about this debate . Cbs, a8 said biden one, a01 said trump one. This sums up how polarised the country is. Most people have made up their minds, millions of already voted, and there are not a lot of undecided people left in this country, about ia , two more debates to come, im sure we will be seeing much of the same as what weve seen the seat. This evening. The first of three debates. We will look at some of the content of that debate a bit later. Pubs, hotel bars and restaurants will have to shut at 11pm in Northern Ireland under new rules for the hospitality sector. The rules come into force from midnight tonight. First minister Arlene Foster said there could be no exceptions to the rule, and it would also apply to weddings and other social events. Borisjohnson will hold a press conference this afternoon to update the public on the coronavirus pandemic. Its happening ahead of new restrictions coming into force in Northern Ireland and north wales. We can speak now to our Political Correspondent helen catt. Helen, what can we expect to hear later today from the Prime Minister . Helen, tell us about this vote in the commons later today . Its not going to be about those restrictions in Northern Ireland. The government sets the regulations for england only. We not expecting any drastic change in those regulations to come out of that press c0 nfe re nce. Regulations to come out of that press conference. We know the government has been keen to let the rule of six that it announced bed in and see what the impact is from that. The expectation i think is that. The expectation i think is that we might get an update on where the figures are and what, if any impact there has been from those restrictions that were most recently introduced. We know there is a vote in the commons later about regulations, there is a lot of power over our lives. Each six months thats the vote thats happening this afternoon, is no suggestion that mps will vote against that. More say over any future coronavirus restrictions. Concerns about the fa ct restrictions. Concerns about the fact that in england, children arent exempt from the rule of six, there are worries about that 10pm cu rfew there are worries about that 10pm curfew so the technical way they are trying to do it in parliament, some question about whether or not and that will work but what its done is lead to these side chats because a lot of conservative mps have signed up lot of conservative mps have signed up to back it, 50 of them, side chats between mps and the government, so we will see later whether that has gotten the government to come into any sort of compromise. Meanwhile four councils in north wales are to go into local a shipment of british beef will be exported to the United States today, the first of its kind since 1996. American authorities banned beef from the eu in the wake of the bse outbreak, otherwise known as mad cow disease, but the restrictions were lifted in march. Ministers say the export was an historic moment for british farming. A Hydrogen Powered train has travelled on britains rail network for the first time ever, reaching speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. The prototype train, called the hydroflex, made a 25 mile round trip in warwickshire all while producing zero emissions. 0ur transport correspondent tom burridge was on board. The prototype train, called the hydroflex, a20 a20 mile a 20 mile Hydrogen Powered round trip and a first for uk rail. Here we are, uk mainline running on com pletely clea n, we are, uk mainline running on completely clean, green electricity. Hydro fuel cell and battery, its a massive moment. Onboard hydrogen is me with oxygen to produce electricity to power the motors. Having trains that can run on Hydrogen Power means they can run when there are no overhead wires, there isnt electricity available. This is a prototype, so its maximum speed is about 50 miles an hour. It ta kes m ost speed is about 50 miles an hour. It takes most of the day to fill up the Hydrogen Tanks on board. Then it can travel about 100 miles. The challenge now is to get all of this equipped and underneath the train so we can have passengers inside and carry on service. The aim is for paying passengers to travel on like this one by the end of next year. The project has the governments backing. Hope of this is to get it up backing. Hope of this is to get it up to 200 miles of normal line speed and getting all the infrastructure in place. And thats the broader challenge, having an up Hydrogen Available to power trains in the future and ensuring the hydrogen itself is sourced in a sustainable way. Tom burridge, bbc news, in warwickshire. Very interesting. Carol is having a very busy week. Shes been to a whole list of most beautiful gardens and today she is at kew gardens. I am in the template house at kew gardens and todays state of the worlds plant and fungi plants is released and the statistics are out, with many plants threatened with extinction. How can we help . It is also showing that we are not using pla nts also showing that we are not using plants and fungi as much as we could. We could use them much more for our food, could. We could use them much more for ourfood, fuel and could. We could use them much more for our food, fuel and medicine. Its quite toasty in here this morning. Its not hot like you would expect. We are under the flight path for heathrow. You can hear planes going overhead. 0utside, its not a particularly cold start to the day. What we have today is rainy and windy conditions already in the north and west moving eastwards through the course of the day and some of that rain will be heavy. Some mist and fog to watch out for across parts of hampshire and east anglia and for some eastern areas, a bright start. Dont be fooled, rain going to push slowly eastwards on with it, gusty winds. Strongest across the irish sea originally and then, initially, through the English Channel in the afternoon. Temperatures today, this evening and overnight, the rain eventually moves out. Also across north east scotland. A cold and i tonight in rural areas would got clear skies, also a touch of frost. Tomorrow, while we start as were going to finish, were looking at some rain across parts of northern and North Eastern scotland, one or two showers across southern areas as well as wales and also into Northern Ireland times but for many, it will actually be dry. Dont be fooled, cooler for the rest of the week and u nsettled. Cooler for the rest of the week and unsettled. In fact, cooler for the rest of the week and unsettled. Infact, friday, into the weekend, we could have stormy conditions coming our way, something definitely to keep watching the forecast for. Glad you are indoors today after two days braving the cold. The first president ial debate between mr trump and joe biden was full of heated exchanges, fiery insults and personal attacks. In the turbulent 90 minutes they argued over the United States response to coronavirus, healthcare and race. Lets get more on this from julia manchester, whos the political reporterfor the hill. Julia, we spoke to you yesterday ahead of the debate did it live up to your expectations . Ive been watching president ial debates here in the United States since 2000 when former president bush went up against al gore and ive never seen anything like this, the negative reaction to this debate has gone on line from viewers and commentators here in the United States has been overwhelming, what you saw was a sitting president of the United States go up against a former Vice President , the two spent the first 20 minutes of the debate talking over each other, over the moderator, one telling the other to shut up, the other lobbing insults about the others family, that being president from going Afterjoe Biden and itjust got so incredibly personal, i think we all knew it was going to get and heated but we didnt expect it to get this contentious this quickly. Didnt expect it to get this contentious this quicklylj didnt expect it to get this contentious this quickly. I wonder amongst all of the insults, did they learn anything, the American Public, about any policy intentions from Eitherjoe Biden or President Trump . I dont really think so. Joe biden and President Trump really dug into their current policy stances, what they have been talking to, whether it was President Trump defending his coronavirus plan or joe it was President Trump defending his coronavirus plan orjoe biden attacking President Trumps coronavirus response. 0ne attacking President Trumps coronavirus response. One moment that did get quite a bit of attention was when President Trump was asked to disavow White Supremacy here in the United States and particularly white supremacist, the white group called the proud boys. He did not disavow them but said sta nd by. He did not disavow them but said standby. That got a lot of attention and a lot of quick critics of the president said we might not be getting anything new but we are seeing quite the contrasts today. I read in a newspaper, forjoe biden to have a bad day, he had to have a terrible night. Did he have a terrible night ordid he do night. Did he have a terrible night or did he do enough to convince people he could potentially be the next president . He did not have a terrible night. I thinkjoe biden did what he needed to do. He appeared calm and especially when President Trump was attacking his son, hunter biden and President Trump did not even acknowledge the fa ct trump did not even acknowledge the fact that his other son served in the military. Joe biden kept calm through that and did resort to name calling at one point but resident trumps at the bar low and biden surpassed it. President trump set the bar low. Do you think there will be some appetite in the American Public for another two nights of that . We will really have to see. There is not appetite at that moment. We also have the Vice President ial debate coming up later in october so that is something to look forward to but it will be interesting to see because the next debate as town hall so it wontjust be the moderator, it will be real voters, undecided voters, asking questions. It will be interesting to see whetherjoe biden and donald trump keep up this bickering back and forth during the debate or if they get really into substance with real life voters. They get really into substance with real life voters. A word they get really into substance with reallife voters. A word on the moderator. Is it impossible to moderate debate like that where both men are intent on interrupting or not letting people finish their points . It almost seems like that was part of the play from both individuals, to make sure that the other didnt get a chance to finish their address, if you like. It is certainly difficult and Chris Wallace definitely had a big task ahead of him. However, i was a little shocked that Chris Wallace did
