3:00 am
and, on a trip to kyiv, the us and uk's top diplomats say they're considering allowing ukraine to use long—range western weapons for strikes inside russia. hello. i'm lucy hockings. we start in the us, where kamala harris�*s campaign is riding the favourable momentum from tuesday night's presidential debate in the battleground state of pennsylvania. her team posted a photo of newspaper clippings praising her performance, with the caption "winner." the vice president's republican rival, former president donald trump, said he did a "greatjob" but accused the abc news moderators of bias in what he called "a rigged deal". a yougov poll of more than 2,000 registered voters who watched at least some of the debate found that 54% say harris won the debate, compared to 31% who say trump won. some trump supporters have also criticised the debate�*s moderators, saying the handling of the night was unfair. here's more from our analysis editor ros atkins. donald trump says the tv debate was rigged against him,
3:01 am
and he was asked this in the spin room afterwards. what did you think- of the moderators fact checking you throughout? i think the moderators were very unfair. trump supporters described it as three against one because he was fact checked more than kamala harris. but he said much more that was not true. in springfield, they are eating the cats, they are eating the dogs. they are eating the pets of the people that live there. it prompted one of the more unlikely fact checks. abc news did reach out to the city manager there. he told us there — city manager there. he told us there had _ city manager there. he told us there had been no credible reports _ there had been no credible reports of specific claims of its being _ reports of specific claims of its being harmed, orabuse within— its being harmed, orabuse within the immigrant community. well, i've seen people on television... after sourcing that claim to people on television, trump also said this. her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. he also says execution after birth, execution,
3:02 am
no longer abortion, because the baby is born, is ok, and that's not ok with me. again, the moderators did not let this pass. there is no state in this| country where it is legal to kill a baby. after it is born. the moderators clarified fact checked donald trump five times, kamala harris not once, despite her making statements that required correction. for example, she said... that's not true. she also said this... if donald trump were to be re—elected, he will sign a national abortion ban. well, there she goes again, it's a lie. that harris statement was misleading but there were also many other trump claims that went unchecked, for example, he said... this is not supported by evidence. during one attack on biden and harris, trump claimed
3:03 am
there's been the worst inflation we've ever had. that's not true. and how abc approached all of this was different to cnn injune. it decided not to fact check biden and trump during their debate, although it did so afterwards, and this illustrates how, ever since trump first ran in 2016, journalism has wrestled with how to respond to the volume of false and misleading claims he makes. pollster frank luntz tweeted... maybe it will, but while both candidates made statements that require correction, trump did so much more. it's not biased to that out. the contest for the white house remains tight. the bbc has launched its national poll tracker based on the latest polling data in the us. since us presidentjoe biden
3:04 am
stepped down from his re—election campaign, kamala harris has maintained a slight lead at 47%, compared to donald trump who is at 44%. but the presidency is not won by the national popular vote. it's decided by the us electoral college, in which candidates aim to secure 270 or more electoral college votes. and that's determined state by state. analysts say the presidency will come down to who can win over undecided voters in seven battleground states. the first showdown between kamala harris and donald trump was also closely watched by people across the globe. the pair traded tense exchanges on the state of us foreign policy. one of the most contentious statements of the night was made by the former president, who claimed that haitian migrants in the state of ohio were killing and eating pets. those claims have since been debunked, and haiti's government has now condemned what it has called "discriminatory remarks", describing the comments as disinformation that stigmatises and dehumanises compatriots abroad.
3:05 am
meanwhile, donald trump says that pop sensation taylor swift will — as he put it — "pay a price" for her endorsement of his rival kamala harris following tuesday night's presidential debate. in a fox news interview, mr trump said he was not a fan of the singer, describing her as too progressive. swift announced her support of the vice president in a social media post, calling her a "a steady—handed and gifted leader". analysts say the young women who comprise much of swift's loyal base are likely to be a key demographic in the presidential election. for more on taylor swift's endorsement, i spoke to mark harvey. he's the director of the masters of business administration programme at the university of st mary and has been studying how celebrity trends influence politics. market, as a celebrity endorsements go, doesn't get bigger than taylor swift? fist bigger than taylor swift? at the bigger than taylor swift? git the moment, no. taylor swift is probably the most popular on the planet. she is a phenomenon in a way that really few entertainers have been since
3:06 am
may be michaeljackson or the beatles or elvis. she is really kind of up there. so i think default makes a very influential.— default makes a very influential. , ., influential. given how tight the selection _ influential. given how tight the selection is, _ influential. given how tight the selection is, what - the selection is, what difference could this really make? —— this election. difference could this really make? -- this election. well, i'm not sure _ make? -- this election. well, i'm not sure about _ make? -- this election. well, i'm not sure about that. - i'm not sure about that. because it's really hard to say. first of all, you need to take the variables into account that most political scientists do, right. most people are not going to votejust do, right. most people are not going to vote just because taylor swift essoh. is going be things like the economy, political id, and things are so polarised in this country right now that people have already chosen sides so we're talking about margins that are super small among undecided people or mobilising people who won't vote anyway. so if she were able to be influential in this case, then it could make a significant difference, because this election is potentially so close that, who knows, they could make a difference. it’s
3:07 am
could make a difference. it's caettin could make a difference. it's getting young _ could make a difference. it's getting young people to vote going to be a key influence here? we have already seen some figures through from votu .org, the site she said, hundreds of thousands of people have logons and she encouraged them to. yes, yes. why was a potentially is, that would be the intention. i would also say that i've done some research with a couple of colleagues of mine, alison and glenn walker, and it was basically a study with over 1000 people and the question had to do with whether or not taylor swift would be influential in this election and what we actually found is that most respondents were actually very turned off by taylor swift wys potential political endorsement and the conclusion would be that camino, perhaps it would have a negative effect in terms of people wanting to vote and it may not — they may not like her because she is being political.

3:09 am
probably not going to be able to tell you whether or not it made a huge difference, right. but i will say that may it doubled the bars or maybe just more of the same. i doubled the bars or maybe 'ust more of the samei more of the same. i mean, i watched _ more of the same. i mean, i watched tim _ more of the same. i mean, i watched tim watts - more of the same. i mean, i watched tim watts being - more of the same. i mean, i l watched tim watts being told about the endorsement live, he looked thrilled. the harris team surely our thrilled, this is something they have been looking for for a while. —— is something they have been looking forfor a while. —— tim watts. it looking for for a while. -- tim watts. , ., looking for for a while. -- tim watts. , . .. ., watts. if they were a candidate they would _ watts. if they were a candidate they would be _ watts. if they were a candidate they would be absolutely - they would be absolutely thrilled if taylor swift would endorse me as well. that is a thing that is difficult to disentangle when you look at the literature, the actual research, because, granted, it may be possible that her endorsement may turn certain people off, but at the same time we know when celebrities start talking about issues and candidates than people are likely to pay attention. sometimes attention is just going to be good just to have more of it. again, it is hard to know what her effect would
3:10 am
be, if she has mobilised 338 million people to go registered to vote, that is a definite effect that we can look at, whether or not that helps or hurts harris we don't know. what is the most powerful celebrity endorsement we have seen here in the us? i celebrity endorsement we have seen here in the us?— seen here in the us? i think it's oprah — seen here in the us? i think it's oprah winfrey. - seen here in the us? i think it's oprah winfrey. it - seen here in the us? i think it's oprah winfrey. it is - seen here in the us? i think it's oprah winfrey. it is the | it's oprah winfrey. it is the only case we can really point to and say ok, this person made an endorsement and it had an effect and it happened when barack 0bama was running for president, running for the democratic nomination to run for president stop she made an endorsement and it probably made a difference in terms of1 million votes and this is pretty solid research that has supported that. it really is difficult to determine whether or not celebrity endorsements make a huge difference most of the time, because of all of the other variables are out there that affect people's votes, people are asking how much does gas cost? was the economy like? what my political identification? all sorts of questions. it's not usually
3:11 am
"what does taylor swift think question mark" alberto fujimori, the former president of peru, who was convicted of human rights abuses, has died. he was 86. his death was announced by his daughter, and indirect successor, keiko fujimori. a controversial and authoritarian figure, he governed peru between 1990 and 2000 before being forced from office amid allegations of corruption. his tough stance against a left—wing guerrilla insurgency while president brought allegations of human rights abuses. he fled the country in 2000 but was subsequently arrested and extradited to peru, where he was convicted in a number of cases including for corruption, abuse of power and being behind two death squad massacres in the early 1990s. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the uk housing minister says the government hopes to stop landlords evicting tenants in england without cause by next summer. labour's renters�* rights bill will also ban bidding wars, set a time limit for landlords to fix problems, and give
3:12 am
tenants the right to have a pet. landlords say they need time to prepare for the changes. the uk government has announced a £500 million grant for tata steel. the grant will contribute towards the cost of putting an electric furnace in its port talbot plant in south wales. it will melt scrap steel or iron to produce steel. the changes will lead to the loss of up to 2,800 jobs. the national farmers' union has warned that it could fail to meet its target of making uk farming net zero by 2040. the union says it will miss the goal because there was allegedly a lack of investment in climate—friendly agriculture schemes by the previous government. the current government says it is still committed to reducing emissions in the farming sector. you're live with bbc news. the us and uk are reconsidering a block on ukraine using long—range missiles to attack targets deeper within russia's borders. us secretary of state
3:13 am
antony blinken and uk foreign secretary david lammy have been in kyiv to discuss the risk of escalating the war. the kremlin warned of a russian response should a strike on its territory follow. the talks come after mr blinken accused iran of supplying russia with ballistic missiles — a claim iran rejects. during their visit, mr blinken and mr lammy each pledged about $700 million dollars for additional humanitarian assistance. for more i spoke to melinda haring, nonresident senior fellow for the atlantic council and senior advisor at the nonprofit razom for ukraine. can reflect on the comment we have so often from ukrainians and president zelensky. irate have so often from ukrainians and president zelensky. we need enou:h and president zelensky. we need enough rrot _ and president zelensky. we need enough notjust _ and president zelensky. we need enough notjust to _ and president zelensky. we need enough notjust to survive - and president zelensky. we need enough notjust to survive but. enough notjust to survive but to win, how crucial is it that the uk and the us reconsider allowing these long raise you

3:19 am
on tuesday, an israeli air strike killed nineteen people in what had been designated as a humanitarian area by the israeli military — that's according to gaza's hamas—run health ministry. as gaza's humanitarian crisis continues, it now has the highest number of child amputees in the world. between october and january, more than a thousand children had one or both legs amputated — and those numbers have been rising daily, according to unicef. but with just nine orthopaedic surgeons in gaza, hospitals are overwhelmed. there's been widespread protest in mexico after congress approved a bill under which alljudges will be elected by popular vote. demonstrators broke into the senate where the vote was taking place. supporters of the legislation say it makesjudges more accountable to the mexican people. critics argue it undermines the country's system of checks and balances. the bill was promoted by outgoing president, andres manuel lopez 0brador,
3:20 am
who had previously clashed with the supreme court over proposed changes to energy and security policy. for more on this our mexico correspondent will grant. just as it had been in the lower house, where protesters stormed the building during the debate, essentially forcing it to move to another building, so it was in the senate debate too, when eventually the senators could vote on it, it was passed by a razor—thin margin, it required one key senator from the opposition, a conservative party, to move to the governing party's side, and cast in favour of the resolution. well, it has now been passed, much to delight of president 0brador, and his supporters who say the justice system in mexico is not fit for purpose and hasn't been for a long time, is infiltrated by organised crime and needs this reform for a root and branch change.
3:21 am
now those protesters are extremely upset about this. they believe that this undermines the independence of the justice system in mexico. many of them workers, striking workers of the justice system and the supreme court themselves. one of the leading voices against this measure is the president of the supreme court, norma pienaar, who told the bbc she was pessimistic, it was a dark day, in essence, and that she was pessimistic about the future of mexico as a state and for the ordinary citizenry. the president won't mind about that, he simply wanted to see this passed as one of his final acts before he steps down on the 1st of october. —— norma pina. a year ago, a catastrophic flood devastated libya's historic port city derna. the un says nearly 6,000 people were killed, after two dams on the wadi derna river broke following heavy rains from storm daniel. more than 2,300 people
3:22 am
are still missing. the water that surged through derna in the middle of the night destroyed homes and crucial infrastructure. mud and rubble still cover parts of the city. reconstruction efforts are under way and some displaced families are being drawn back to derna, attracted by the prospects of compensation and subsidised rent. but political tensions and the distrust of aid agencies have slowed recovery efforts. the country remains divided between rival administrations nearly 13 years after then—ruler muammar gaddafi was overthrown and killed. some of the people in derna reflected on their experience of a year ago and spoke about how they are faring now. translation: ice skate with a u-rou translation: ice skate with a a-rou of translation: ice skate with a group of young _ translation: ice skate with a group of young people. - translation: ice skate with a group of young people. we - translation: ice skate with a| group of young people. we saw translation: ice skate with a | group of young people. we saw a really terrifying scene, thought we were going to look for survivors but as soon as i. i expected to see buildings, houses, the mosque we were supposed to be in. —— eye

3:24 am
—— at least 30 people are dead and thousands more displaced after dam in nigeria burst its banks. we began to overflow amid heavy rainfall last thursday. military personnel have been evacuating affected residents. the un described the flooding is the worst flood in the region in 30 years. the death toll continues to rise in the aftermath of typhooon yagi in hanoi, vietnam. 0fficials estimate that at least 179 people are dead and 145 more missing due to torrentialflooding and landslides.the national center for hydro—meteorological forecasting said that the red river was at its highest in two decades, and that more rain is expected in the coming days. remembrance events are taking place across the us in memory of the 23—year anniversary of the september 11th terror attacks. a bell tolled at ground zero in new york to mark the moment
3:25 am
the first plane hit the world trade center. 3,000 people were killed in the attacks in new york, at the pentagon and in pennsylvania in 2001. and more have died since — from illnesses contracted from the site of the collapse. on wednesday, us presidential campaigning was put on pause as donald trump and kamala harris took part in the remembrance service at memorial plaza. and like every year, the names of victims were read out as family members and officials held a moment of silence. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. on wednesday, we had a chilly, northwesterly airflow across the uk and that brought us a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of those showers really dramatic. a beautiful strike of foot lightning there in nottinghamshire, and in the same county, so much hail, late afternoon, that it completely covered the roads and pavements in newark—on—trent. the showers then were particularly widespread. i'm showing you this because we've got a similar look to the weather forecast as we head into thursday.
3:26 am
so here we go. we've got that chilly flow of northwesterly air coming down from polar regions, and as that cold air gets heated by the seas, well, that's what makes the showers. so as long as this cold feed of air continues to work in, so, too, will the showers. for the time being, though, most of the showers are actually draped around coastal areas, inland areas at the moment largely dry with clear spells and it's cold. temperatures starting off the day in the coldest spots down to around about two degrees celsius, cold enough even for a nip of ground frost. so a really cold start for a september morning, thursday morning, but loads of sunshine, showers from the word go around coastal areas. as we go through the day, and those temperatures rise, so the showers will start to break out across inland areas from the late morning and into the afternoon. some of the showers will be heavy with hail and thunder and they'll be very widespread, so most places will see a downpour or two through the day. temperatures about ten to 16 degrees and probably the heaviest showers come the afternoon, i think, across the midlands and eastern england.
3:27 am
by friday, we see an area of high pressure build across the uk, so that's going to kill the showers. it's going to be another very cold start to the day, lots of morning sunshine, but this time we're going to start to see some rain move into northern ireland towards the end of the day. another cold day for the time of year. temperatures about four degrees celsius below average for september. all change, though, into the weekend. an area of low pressure is going to be bringing some wet and windy weather. could get gusts of wind of around 50 to 60 miles an hourfor the north west of scotland, with the rain piling in here and really accumulating. southern and eastern areas should stay dry with some sunshine, and with the winds coming in from a south—westerly direction across the uk, so temperatures are going to leap upwards, closer to average for the time of year, with highs of 16 to 19 degrees, and it looks as we head into next week, high pressure is going to dominate. so loads of dry weather around next week, with temperatures close to or perhaps even running a little bit above average, with some warm sunshine.
