in recent weeks, the former—president donald trump and his campaign team have seized on vice president harris�* changing position on fracking, health care and immigration. they are reminding voters of some of the more progressive positions the vice president took the last time she ran for president in 2019. and you will see clips like this in many of the republican attack ads. raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. 0k. harris no longer favours a ban on fracking, dropped her support for medicare for all, backed a bipartisan immigration bill that would build more walls on the southern border — all departures from her campaign in 2020. but, "my values," she told cnn, "have not changed". we can't know what kamala

harris truly believes, but it certainly the case she has shifted towards the centre. how does she defend that tonight? to some extent i think it is up to her— to some extent i think it is up to her to _ to some extent i think it is up to her to figure out how she to her to figure out how she will talk_ to her to figure out how she will talk about it in debate. this— will talk about it in debate. this is_ will talk about it in debate. this is not a debate format amongst _ this is not a debate format amongst the four or five of us, if you — amongst the four or five of us, if you consider yourself in the mix, _ if you consider yourself in the mix, christian, it's important to recognise but the truth is which — to recognise but the truth is which we _ to recognise but the truth is which we all know. in 2019 there — which we all know. in 2019 there was a sense among some democrats that you had to move pretty— democrats that you had to move pretty far — democrats that you had to move pretty far left in order to be a viable _ pretty far left in order to be a viable alternative to joe bideh_ a viable alternative to joe biden for the nomination. a viable alternative to joe biden forthe nomination. she said _ biden forthe nomination. she said a — biden forthe nomination. she said a bunch of things that did not really— said a bunch of things that did not really reflect what she had set in — not really reflect what she had set in the _ not really reflect what she had set in the past, but felt she had — set in the past, but felt she had t0~ _ set in the past, but felt she had t0~ if— set in the past, but felt she had to. if you are looking at it today, _ had to. if you are looking at it today, she will probably say that was — it today, she will probably say that was a mistake to do so and ithink— that was a mistake to do so and ithihk she _ that was a mistake to do so and i think she has —— nothing she is done — i think she has —— nothing she is done before since indicates that— is done before since indicates that art— is done before since indicates that art is— is done before since indicates that art is something that she would — that art is something that she would pursue. we talked earlier saying. — would pursue. we talked earlier saying, she had been vice president for three and half years. _ president for three and half years, during that time she did not do — years, during that time she did not do any— years, during that time she did not do any of this crazy communist stuff that people are claiming — communist stuff that people are claiming. it is up to her to figure— claiming. it is up to her to figure out— claiming. it is up to her to figure out how to talk about

be more in the centre. she - voters? if you are perceived to be more in the centre. she is i be more in the centre. she is flipping and flopping in the correct direction of voters she is after. if they feel confident that that is her true, newer i think some voters will be satisfied with that. they may not even remember all of the details about what she said in 2019 as much as the trump campaign will attempt to remind them. it is not ideal that she has to live down the things she said in 2019, but it is not necessarily a crushing blow either. trump has changed his position on abortion any number of times. he has changed other views, so she can do a little tip comes it comes for that. ,, . , ., ., that. since you mentioned donald trump's _ that. since you mentioned - donald trump's flip-flopping. .. well there has been plenty of flip flopping from donald trump. particulary when it comes to his position on reproductive rights. he has often boasted

about killing roe v wade in the supreme court, but last week he was asked whether he would vote in favour of an abortion—access amendment in florida. have a listen. well, i think the six week is too short. it has to be more time and so that's, and i've told them that i want more weeks. so you'll vote in favour of the amendment? i i'm voting that, i am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks. which he then had to tidy up on fox news. so i think six weeks. you need more time than six weeks. i've disagreed with that right from the early primaries. when i heard about it, i disagreed with it. at the same time, the democrats are radical because the nine months isjust a ridiculous situation where you can do an abortion in the ninth month. and, you know, some of the states, like minnesota and other states have it where you can actually execute the baby after birth, and all of that stuff is unacceptable. so i'll be voting no. let's clear up a pretty outrageous lie in that statement. there is no state in america that executes baby. in the rare situation where there is a late stage termination, it is a late stage termination, it is always to save the life of the mother and it is a immense

tragedy for the family involved. that aside, i don't know about pro—choice, being multiple choices a weakness, is it not? i multiple choices a weakness, is it not? ., ., , ., it not? i want to focus on, harris for _ it not? i want to focus on, harris for a _ it not? i want to focus on, harris for a second. - it not? i want to focus on, harris for a second. when | it not? i want to focus on, - harris for a second. when she was _ harris for a second. when she was uhited _ harris for a second. when she was united senator— harris for a second. when she was united senator she - was united senator she considered _ was united senator she considered the - was united senator she considered the most i was united senator she - considered the most progressive senator— considered the most progressive sehator ih — considered the most progressive senator in congress. _ considered the most progressive senator in congress. so - considered the most progressive senator in congress. so hurry i senator in congress. so hurry how _ senator in congress. so hurry now seeing _ senator in congress. so hurry now seeing the _ senator in congress. so hurry now seeing the light - senator in congress. so hurry now seeing the light is - now seeing the light is interesting. _ now seeing the light is interesting. you - now seeing the light isi interesting. you change now seeing the light is - interesting. you change your values — interesting. you change your values and _ interesting. you change your values and to _ interesting. you change your values and to change - interesting. you change your values and to change your i values and to change your policy, _ values and to change your policy. she _ values and to change your policy, she has— values and to change your policy, she has the - values and to change your policy, she has the samel values and to change your - policy, she has the same values she's— policy, she has the same values she's going _ policy, she has the same values she's going to _ policy, she has the same values she's going to go— policy, she has the same values she's going to go back- policy, she has the same values she's going to go back to- policy, she has the same values she's going to go back to thosel she's going to go back to those values — she's going to go back to those values and _ she's going to go back to those values and that _ she's going to go back to those values and that the _ she's going to go back to those values and that the house - she's going to go back to those values and that the house shel values and that the house she is going — values and that the house she is going to _ values and that the house she is going to progress. - values and that the house she is going to progress.

out there, is the registration figures since kamala harris entered the race. women have turned to register to vote over 172% over four years ago in 2020. in pennsylvania alone, black women 30 and under have registered at 282% above where it was four years ago. when people register to vote like that, that is the indication they are going to vote for democrats.— they are going to vote for democrats. , , ., democrats. on the flip side of that, white — democrats. on the flip side of that, white man _ democrats. on the flip side of that, white man very - democrats. on the flip side of that, white man very much . democrats. on the flip side of that, white man very much goj that, white man very much go for donald trump so the gender gap is very big. 0ne for donald trump so the gender gap is very big. one thing that puzzles me is why this harris walz campaign does not make more trump plans on deportations with him at the weekend. in colorado, they're so brazen, they're taking over sections of the state. and, you know, getting them out will be a bloody story. he should have never been allowed to come into our country. nobody checked him. nobody checked were they criminals? were they from jails? 16.6 million people in the us in families where at least one member lacks legal

authorisation to reside in the us or is undocumented". why is the harris— walz campaign not talking about that when with new powers trump has with stop and search there will be millions of black latinos whose lives will be affected with this why has this campaign steered away from it, not mentioning it in phoenix or vegas when they were on tour recently, harris—walz. i vegas when they were on tour recently, harris-walz.- recently, harris-walz. iwill aet recently, harris-walz. iwill net to recently, harris-walz. iwill get to that _ recently, harris-walz. iwill get to that in _ recently, harris-walz. iwill get to that in a _ recently, harris-walz. iwill get to that in a second. - recently, harris-walz. i will. get to that in a second. want to talk— get to that in a second. want to talk about something that widely— to talk about something that widely bazaar the selection is, reminds— widely bazaar the selection is, reminds us. he talked about the trump _ reminds us. he talked about the trump light where there are states— trump light where there are states we can execute a baby. this _ states we can execute a baby. this was — states we can execute a baby. this was not one time, this was over— this was not one time, this was over and — this was not one time, this was over and over this was not one time, this was overand overagain. this was not one time, this was over and over again. and last clip _ over and over again. and last clip you — over and over again. and last clip you should he set illegal immigrants have taken over barts — immigrants have taken over parts of— immigrants have taken over parts of colorado, know they have — parts of colorado, know they have not _ parts of colorado, know they have not. donald trump has is

let's remind you of the state of the race in those seven swing states. the debate tonight in philadelphia. it is pennsylvania that is the tightest of them all right now. in fact with 19 electoral college votes, the keystone state, could end up being the race. that is what is at stake here tonight. were she to lose pennsylvania, would kamala harris look back and think that maybe she blew

one big opportunity when she chose walz over the pennsylvania governorjosh shapiro? what do you think, mona, do you think she will come to regret the decision? it think she will come to regret the decision?— the decision? it is possible, but i the decision? it is possible, but i think _ the decision? it is possible, but i think of— the decision? it is possible, but i think of the _ the decision? it is possible, but i think of the campaign | the decision? it is possible, l but i think of the campaign as i understand it, had data suggesting that schapiro would not necessarily have made a huge difference in winning or not winning pennsylvania. but in all honesty, i do think if she loses, she will look back on that with regret. that much said, tim walz has an everyman quality that may work very well with voters who may be less inclined to resonate with the highly educated josh shapiro. he has clearly been picked to appeal to that white man vote. a veteran, a football coach, we talked already about how weak

she is with the white male vote. the siena times the sienna times poll had it at 472—472 in pennsylvania. it doesn't get tighter than that. this week, the former president sent out a truth social "cease & desist" warning threatening election workers, donors, campaign employees with criminal charges if they cheat, inverted commas. how concerned are you he is rolling the pitch for a rerun of what we saw in 2020 — and how much should that be part of the debate tonight? i hope that he is not trying to do that again.— do that again. when those of us that here is _ do that again. when those of us that here is supporters - do that again. when those of us that here is supporters talk - that here is supporters talk about— that here is supporters talk about the _ that here is supporters talk about the election - that here is supporters talk about the election being i about the election being stolen. _ about the election being stolen. it— about the election being stolen, it really- about the election being stolen, it really is - about the election being - stolen, it really is upsetting. again, — stolen, it really is upsetting. again, i_ stolen, it really is upsetting. again, i am _ stolen, it really is upsetting. again, i am upset _ stolen, it really is upsetting. again, i am upset about- stolen, it really is upsetting. i again, i am upset about what the democrats _ again, i am upset about what the democrats did _ again, i am upset about what the democrats did in- again, i am upset about what the democrats did in the - the democrats did in the primary— the democrats did in the primary with _ the democrats did in the primary with14- the democrats did in the primary with14 million l the democrats did in the - primary with14 million voters, primary with 14 million voters, 'ust primary with 14 million voters, just as — primary with 14 million voters, just as upset _ primary with 14 million voters, just as upset as _ primary with 14 million voters, just as upset as i— primary with 14 million voters, just as upset as i am - primary with 14 million voters, just as upset as i am with - just as upset as i am with donald _ just as upset as i am with donald trump _

the earliest debate in general election history was september 21st in 1980, that was a presidential debate which the then incumbent jimmy carter refused to attend. he didn't want to share a stage with the independent john anderson. but we are in this pattern now becausejoe biden wanted the earlier schedule. and i wonder if that has that in some ways boxed—in kamala harris. i think she would want to see what will happen tonight all of a sudden early today trump was talking about biden debates saying he is worried about the debate tonight but also worried about winning. the other fact is that states are starting to vote next week. eyelets are going out, people are voting. this is already under way. so the voting has begun as of next week, voters abroad, democrats abroad, ballots are going out and all of that so this was this schedule between trump and biden, he did not to change the rules, and having the mics

more, just reinvent the wheel. former uk snooker champion zhao sin—tosng is expected to make his comeback later this month after serving a ban. zhao was one of 10 chinese players who were sanctioned in the sport's biggest ever match fixing scandal last year with two of them being banned for life. zhao didn't throw a match, but has served a ban of one year and 8 months. he'll make his return at a qualifying event in bulgaria. and that's all the sport for now. can visit our website for all of the latest sport news. hello there. we had a cold front move southwards through the day on tuesday, introducing much cooler air to many portions of the uk. now through the afternoon before that cold front arrived, we got temperatures up to 20 in heathrow. at the same time, it was only seven in parts of highland, scotland, with frequent blustery showers

working in here. it's been particularly windy across northeast scotland and as the low pressure driving those winds works over towards scandinavia, it will stay quite blowy, but the peak winds will start to come down. there will be plenty of showers across north and western coasts overnight, and temperatures will taking a dive, 5—6 celsius in the coldest spots. now tomorrow, we'll still have this cold north—northwesterly wind flow established across the uk. now we start off with showers across northern and western coastal areas, but through the day the showers become widespread and move inland, so nowhere is immune from seeing a downpour. by the time we get to the afternoon, some of the showers will be heavy, with some hail and thunder mixed in as well. temperatures well below average for september, ranging from 11—15 celsius. in london, the average for this time of year is actually 20 celsius, so we're five degrees celsius below average for this part of the year. on thursday, a very similar kind of day. a cold start, showers initially near coastal areas and again the showers become widespread, they become heavy with hail and thunder and move inland as the day goes by. nowhere is immune

from seeing a downpour. temperatures not really changing too much, 10—15 celsius, making it another chilly september day. into friday, we see a change in the weather pattern as high pressure starts to move across the uk. that's going to kill the showers off so most of you will have a dry day. probably a bit of cloud building into western areas and for northern ireland, a weather front approaches here through the afternoon, so we might end friday afternoon with the rain starting to edge its way in. temperatures coming up by a degree or so, 16 degrees for cardiff and london. but that trend to milder weather is set to continue into the weekend as we start to draw up these south—westerly winds ahead of the next area of low pressure. the low itself over the weekend will at times bring some wet and windy weather, so it's not going to be a dry weekend, but it is a weekend that will see those temperatures edging a little bit closer to average for the time of year. and then next week, high pressure is going to take over, so it becomes dry and sunny and it will feel quite warm in that september sun next week. bye for now.
