Lets speak to our North America Correspondent nada tawfik, who is in philadelphia. What is the general consensus of who won this debate . If what is the general consensus of who won this debate . If you look at several of who won this debate . If you look at several poles of who won this debate . If you look at several poles of of who won this debate . If you look at several poles of this i look at several poles of this morning, more americans thought that kamala won this debate and it was clear that she had a command over the conversation, setting the tone while getting under Donald Trumps skin. She was successful in introducing herself to the american public and speaking about her values under policies and also pushing well known buttons of Donald Trump, including his Rally Sizes and about how he hasnt conceded to losing the 2020 election and about his various court cases. And each time, he did take the Bait And Kind of relitigating his past record rather than expanding on of his policies and when pressed on what he would do on health care, he said he had concepts of a plan but Donald Trump also compared her Tojoe Biden and voters concerned about immigration and inflation and asked her Point Blank if you have all of these plans, why havent you done it . A line that will play well with his base. But Donald Trump is insisting that he won but he is claiming that this was a rigged debate, taking aim at the moderators, something that he often does, blaming the media for being biased against him. But take a look at this report from a colleague about how the night unfolded. The abc News President ial debate. Here now, David Muir and linsey davis. Good evening. Im David Muir and thank you forjoining us for tonights abc News President ial debate not just the first debate for these two as president ial candidates, but the first time these two have ever met. That was about as friendly as it got as they came to debate in philadelphia, the so called city of brotherly love. Not so much. Shes a marxist. Everybody knows shes a marxist. People start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. But soon they got on to issues such as immigration, a key concern for voters and one that could be a strength for the former president , though he chose to focus on unsubstantiated claims about migrants eating peoples pets. In springfield, theyre eating the dogs. The people that came in, theyre eating the cats. Theyre eating. The Vice President could scarcely contain herself. Of the people that live there. Moderators attempted to fact check the former president on several occasions during the debate. Abc news did reach out to the City Manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community. Well, ive seen people on television. Let me just say here, this is the. People on television say my dog was taken and used for food. He had this to say on the contentious issue of abortion. Will she allow abortion in the eighth month . Ninth month . Seventh month . Come on. 0k. Would you do that . The economy was always going to be a hugely important issue. Its what most americans really care about. She is biden. You know, shes trying to get away from biden. I dont know that. And Donald Trump attempted to tie Kamala Harris to her boss. Worst Inflation Weve ever had. The Vice President talked about her economic plans, but not perhaps as much as her supporters would have liked. On international affairs, though, she was scathing. World leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say youre a disgrace. Donald trump hit back by attacking the chaotic withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan, and again claimed the ukraine War Wouldnt have happened under him. Were playing with World War iii, and we have a president that we dont even know if hes. Where is our president . Moments after the end of the debate, Donald Trump himself appearing in the spin room, talking to a whole pack of journalists, hundreds ofjournalists, a sign that he thinks this did not go well. Gary odonoghue, bbc news, philadelphia. It went very well for, let harris, very bad for Donald Trump. And theyre trying to keep them disciplined in our policy and not be personal and not to rent the way she does at his rallies which may work at the rallies but it doesnt work for a primetime audience full of independence, moderates and mainstream republicans. She did well, he did badly, she got her momentum again and hes going to have to work how he gets a show back on the road because it was derailed last night. What do you think were the most telling exchanges . I what do you think were the most telling exchanges . Telling exchanges . I think the most telling telling exchanges . I think the most telling exchanges telling exchanges . I think the most telling exchanges were l telling exchanges . I think the | most telling exchanges were in the sense that every hole, harris pointed to, he scurried down in it. He couldnt help himself, he took the bait, he had been warned not to take the bait, stick to policy, stick to her political ops, go in on the biden Administration Record that she has been number two on but on abortion, he was all over the place, Couldnt Answer some crucial questions on that, she posed better on the economy than she does, she tried to make you could nail her on the economy, she is quite weak on Foreign Affairs and yet better than him on Foreign Affairs and left viewers watching that his idea of Peace And Ukraine would be for President Zelensky to give in. There was not one time where Donald Trump took the initiative and dominated the debate. He was always coming from behind and frankly, he made her look better than She Really is. Do made her look better than She Reall is.. ~. Really is. Do you think what we Saw Last Night really is. Do you think what we Saw Last Night underlined really is. Do you think what we Saw Last Night underlined but l Saw Last Night underlined but we have seen over the last five weeks the Donald Trump is struggling to know how to attack Kamala Harris and looking back to 2016, there are moments where the campaign really faltered but he was able to get past that and how do you see it this time around . Its to get past that and how do you see it this time around . See it this time around . Its a very good see it this time around . Its a very good point see it this time around . Its a very good point in see it this time around . Its a very good point in their see it this time around . Its a very good point in their timesj very good point in their times last night that he was wistful about not being up Againstjoe Biden and he kept attacking Joe Biden and he kept attacking Joe Biden and he kept attacking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had to remind him that youre running against me, notJoe Biden. And found it much easier to run Againstjoe Biden than Kamala Harris and so, the initiative is, he does not look like he knows how to handle her. I will say this, it has been a Roller Coaster of a campaign. Weve gone from Joe Biden and Donald Trump being even to Donald Trump being even to Donald Trump taking a clear lead, to the Kamala Harris coming in and establishing the lead, stalling, being even on all the polls and now i think Kamala Harris taking the lead in politics is a long time to November The 5th and although i would say she is now the favourite at the moment, that is at the moment, the election starts tomorrow and it is until officials have announced an Air Alert in kyiv as american Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken, and his british Counterpart David Lammy visit the city. The uk Foreign Secretary announced a new 600 million Support Package for ukraine including for humanitarion needs. Mr blinken said the two nations stood shoulder to shoulder in the support of ukraine. Ukrainian leaders are pressing for authorisation to use long range missiles against targets in russia. This is change the debate about how and when ukraine can use long range missiles against targets in russia. Have a listen. We are seeing russia amplify its work with its friends and we are seeing this her horrendous transfer of ballistic missiles from iran to russia over the last few days. We have sanctioned further the russian Shadow Fleet Today in my colleague has announced more ammunition, more armoured vehicles and more support to ukraines Military Effort and we are here to listen and that is why i am here with the us Secretary Of State in uk Foreign Secretary travelling we havent seen that for well over a decade in our system, travelling here to listen to ukrainians and speak to President Zelensky and hear and understand the strategies because we are determined to see ukraine when in their efforts over the coming months and over this period. And over this period. Ukraine wants permission and over this period. Ukraine wants permission to and over this period. Ukraine wants permission to use wants permission to use long range missiles against targets in russia and are you going to let them do that . We are here to going to let them do that . Are here to understand the plan, understand the strategy and understand the needs across the whole range of fronts. Yes, equipment, and energy that is been sabotaged, the support needed on the humanitarian front over these next few months and how we continue to mobilise international communities on ukraines behalf. We are listening carefully and of course, we are having discussions on a range of issues, including the Military Equipment that ukraine needs to win. We are looking at live pictures with david and Antony Blinken and all the journalists are packed into that room and i dont think were that far away but there was that Air Alert about half an hour ago will have all the details and that may be delaying things but we are all set to go just as soon as they start there but lets bring in our European Correspondent whose in kyiv. Listening to david, do you get the feeling there when you talk to officials, to the field the west is on the brink of changing these rules and allowing them to use these missiles inside russia . Just on the Air Alert missiles inside russia . Just on the Air Alert that missiles inside russia . Just on the Air Alert that you missiles inside russia . Just on the Air Alert that you mention, | the Air Alert that you mention, vows lifted about ten minutes ago and for a time that is something people were aware of here and not being lifted. In terms of what might happen here with the change of policy and the british, i think there are signs for ukrainians that there may be sing in public and that must ve triggered quite a lot of u sing i that must ve triggered quite a lot of u sing in public and evolution of the western may be sing in public and evolution of the western position on this really crucial position on zelensky has issue. President zelensky has been asking for months for issue. President zelensky has been asking for months for permission to use these permission to use these long range missiles so they can long range missiles so they can strike far into russia and if strike far into russia and if you look at whats been said you look at whats been said over the past couple of weeks, over the past couple of weeks, there are indications that had there are indications that had been scenes, americans are been scenes, americans are looking at this very carefully looking at this very carefully and a few weeks ago was out of and a few weeks ago was out of the Question Or Something that the Question Or Something that was not being considered in the was not being considered in the at the head of the cia saying the head of the cia saying that putin is a bully and that at the head of the cia saying that putin is a bully and he is always going to sabre at the head of the cia saying Thi Is utin is a bully and at the head of the cia saying Thi Is always a bully and rattle. I think that is at the head of the cia saying Thi Is always going 1 and at the head of the cia saying Thi Is always going to nd he is always going to sabre rattle. I think that is important because one of the important because one of the arguments about not getting arguments about not getting permission to ukrainians is but permission to ukrainians is but would be the response from would be the response from president putin, with this president putin, with this escalate to a really dangerous escalate to a really dangerous level in the President Biden level in the President Biden asked directly whether she asked directly whether she would give permission and he would give permission and he said to do something his said to do something his administration were working on administration were working on and i think if there is to be and i to be and i think if there is to be an announcement, some sort of and i think if there is to be and i think if there is to be an announcement, some sort of change in policy, we may have change in policy, we may have seen it coming.

Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. The Uk Government has announced a Public Inquiry into one of the most controversial murders during the Northern Ireland troubles. Prominent human Rights Lawyer Pat Finucane was shot dead by Loyalist Paramilitaries in belfast in 1989 while having Sunday Dinner with his wife and children. Previous investigations have found there was evidence of State Collusion in the killing. His family has been campaigning for decades for a Public Inquiry. Irelands prime minister Simon Harris said the announcement signalled a new approach by the Uk Government to Legacy Issues in Northern Ireland. The widow of pat, Geraldine Finucane said the family deserves a Public Inquiry to bring out truth about collusion surrounding the killing of her husband. We did not believe that his murder was simply the work of gunmen who killed him. We have no confidence that Police Investigations will ever bring those truly responsible to justice. We were not satisfied with private limited reviews from which we were excluded. We could not and did not accept the assurances of previous british governments that they were anxious to set the record straight because they were never prepared to do so in public. An independent statutory Public Inquiry is and was the only way to bring the whole truth behind the murder of pat into the light of day. Most of all, i believe that this could be a watershed moment in the difficult Court Legacy in this part of our ireland. A Public Inquiry into Pat Finucane can publicly examine all of the collusion that plagued our society for so many years, then there is hope that the real process of healing can begin. The murder of Pat Finucane is the last remaining Western Park case, it is high time that it was properly investigated, publicly examined and finally resolved. I believe that my family deserve this after so many years. Pat finucane deserves this after so many years. Society as a whole deserves this after so many years and after 35 years of cover up, it is time for truth. Applause after 35 years of cover up, it is time for truth.
