Expanded debate Night Edition of the 11th hour, day 1,5 of the trump election. Only Vice President ial debate of the cycle is in the books. Mike pence and Kamala Harris faced off behind plexiglass shields 12 feet apart on a stage in Salt Lake City before a small, masked and distanced, audience. All reminders how the coronavirus continues to ravage our country uncontrolled, including at the white house where lets not forget the infected president , who had to be hospitalized, today returned to the oval office, posted a video calling his illness a blessing in disguise, talking about a cure. Tonights debate was much more civil than the one we saw last week, but this administrations response to this virus still cam

Both are available now on the bbc sounds app. Time for a look at the weather. Over the next few days as we head into the weekend, its going to be feeling a bit cooler. Lower temperatures by day and by night. That is because we have High Pressure to the west of the uk. We are drawing down this cold north and north west air stream, bringing cold airall the north west air stream, bringing cold air all the way down from iceland. Earlier today, we had milder conditions across southern areas of the uk. But it has come with a lot of cloud and there has been rain and drizzle.

210,000 americans, and joe biden hoping to win election as the oldest president ever, people are very focused on the health of the two men at the top of the ticket. Which puts mike pence and Kamala Harris in the spotlight. Were anything to happen to either mr trump or mr biden, one of these two would be the next president of the United States. Normally wed say theyll be face to face tonight but they wont. Theyll be separated by 12 feet of stage and two panels of plexiglass. Thats what a debate looks like in the midst of a pandemic when the white house has become a hot bed of covid 19. Amanda renteria is it with us and the republican strategist ron christie. 0ften, sometimes, the Vice President ial candidates have to be attack dogs and sometimes do no harm. It is more third do no harm category.

And the revelations around covid19, which is something he didnt want to talk about, hitting the white house the way it has. And then most especially, the president s own behavior flattens that cake and makes it hard to even get it out of the
