HARRIS GOES ON THE ATTACK, IN FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE AGAINST TRUMP

US Vice President Kamala Harris has refused to pull any punches in the first presidential debate with Donald Trump.

The pair sparred for 90 minutes on a range of issues including the state of the US economy, immigration, abortion, and various conflicts across the globe.

Harris told the former President he has support from global dictators, due to the fact he is easily influenced.

TRUMP CLAIMS HAITIAN MIGRANTS ARE EATING PETS OF US CITIZENS, WITHOUT EVIDENCE

Former President Donald Trump has used the presidential debate against Kamala Harris as an opportunity to make a number of controversial and inaccurate statements.

Among the most outlandish, Mr Trump amplified an online rumour that Haitian migrants in Ohio, Springfield, were eating the pets of local residents - to which the Vice President can be heard laughing in the background.

That's despite authorities saying they have found no evidence of such behaviour.

Harris makes strong debate impression addressing economy and border concerns, while Trump defended his record on abortion and tarrifs

The major candidates competing to be the next U.S. president Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debated major policy issues including the economy, abortion and immigration on Thursday night.
Harris was challenged on her border record but responded: "I am the only one on this stage that has prosecuted criminals for trafficking guns, drugs and human beings".
Trump insisted he believes in exemptions for abortion including rape, and incest and to protect the health of the mother, despite taking credit for the overturning of the federal right to an abortion.
Caroline Malone has more on some of the night's takeaways.

Mass Early Release Of Prisoners In The UK To Ease Overcrowding In Jails

Nearly 2 thousand prisoners will be freed in the UK today, as part of a scheme to cut overcrowding in jails.


The number of prisoners hit an all time high last week, and the justice secretary says the early releases across England and Wales are necessary because of the shortage of cells. Those imprisoned for serious violent and sexual offences are not among those being let out.


The early releases have been criticised by some support groups, who claim that many victims haven't been made aware.


Chief Inspector of prisons Charlie Taylor says it's a 'risky' move - but believes the government had no choice.
