maintains the majority of footage highlights good policing. hello, i'm sally bundock. we begin in the united states, where donald trump's republican rivals for the white house have criticised him for failing to turn up to their latest tv debate. seven candidates battled it out at the party's second presidential debate in california, but trump chose not to attend. according to polls, the former president remains dominant over the rest of the field by a margin of more than a0 points. one of his rivals, ron desantis, condemned him for failing to show up to the debate. he said the former president was missing in action. where is joe biden? where isjoe biden? he is completely missing in action from leadership and you know who else is missing in action because mac donald trump is missing in action. he should be under the stage deny, he owes it to you to defend his record when they added 7.2 trillion to

the debt. another contender, chris christie, mockingly referred to him as �*donald duck�*. donald, i know you're watching, you cannot help yourself, i know you are watching and you are not here tonight not because of polls and not because of polls and not because of polls and not because of your indictments, you're not here tonight because you're not here tonight because you are afraid being under the stage and defending your record. you are ducking these things and you keep doing that, we're not going to call you donald trump any more, we're going to you donald trump. that aives ou going to you donald trump. that gives you a _ going to you donald trump. that gives you a taste _ going to you donald trump. that gives you a taste of _ going to you donald trump. that gives you a taste of that debate. live now to, caitriona perry who is live at the ronald reagan presidential library in simi valley, california where the second republican presidential debate has just wrapped up. it was extremely lively. talk us through it. it really was. it was in contrast to the

debate with salt a month ago when candidates went home with homework and worked out. —— —— we saw a month ago. they turned on each other and on donald trump from early on, as you heard in the clips just played. last time it was let's not talk about him but this time a lot of the pointed arguments were put towards the former president and that is because he is the frontrunner in the republican party, no matter what poll you look. he is a0 points clear of the rest of the field. choosing not to come here because he felt there was nothing in it for him and we heard from cbs news, they are reporting the donald trump campaign said he will also skip the third debate in november in miami. he obviously sees merit

in that strategy. in miami. he obviously sees merit in that strategy.— in that strategy. in terms of how those _ in that strategy. in terms of how those rebates - in that strategy. in terms of how those rebates are - in that strategy. in terms of- how those rebates are received, who has come out the best so far? . , , far? nikki haley is banded around as _ far? nikki haley is banded around as some _ far? nikki haley is banded around as some of - far? nikki haley is banded around as some of the - far? nikki haley is banded i around as some of the better performers. and for ronald reagan, foreign policy was very important. he wanted to achieve peace through strength and that america had a responsibility to be a strong country around the world, a superpower and to engage and we have seen those policies of the republican party dramatically drawn back under the presidency of donald trump so nikki haley and mike pence to an extent tried to redraw that. he is seen as a high point in the republican

history, ronald reagan. ron desantis also had a change in strategy, engaging early on about the fact donald trump was not here. and that perhaps people would not have known his achievements in florida as governor of florida. five of the seven people on this stage are all make were governor so people pointing back to that track records and achievements they have had in the past as a indication being tilted future performance.— indication being tilted future performance. catriona, thank ou so performance. catriona, thank you so much- _ performance. catriona, thank you so much. at— performance. catriona, thank you so much. at the - you so much. at the ronald reagan presidential library in california to basically talk through that debate as it was happening. so instead of attending the debate in california, donald trump was here, addressing workers at a plant

in michigan, after touring a manufacturing facility. here's some of what he said. i want a future that protects american labour, not foreign labour. a future that puts american dreams over foreign profits, and a future that raises american wages, that strengthens american industry, that builds national pride and that builds national pride and that defence this country because mac dignity and does not squander it to foreign countries that hate us. donald trump speaking _ countries that hate us. donald trump speaking to _ countries that hate us. donald trump speaking to a rally - countries that hate us. donald trump speaking to a rally of l trump speaking to a rally of workers who work at a car factory in michigan. and in the tried also, ongoing strikes with three of the big

car—makers. presidentjoe biden was there yesterday on the picket line which was unprecedented for a sitting president tojoin a unprecedented for a sitting president to join a picket line and to make a political statement. it has not been done before. daniel lippman covers the white house and washington for olitico and hejoins me now. let's start with donald trump, i guess, and what we were hearing from him there in michigan, and his choice to be there and not at the debate. he clearl there and not at the debate. he: clearly does not want to be the target of a tax from his fellow republican candidates. he is ahead in the poles by double digits, plus 50%, and it does not make sense for him to open himself up to criticism on a national debate stage and he would rather try to set the

agenda and programme the debate by going to a place like michigan where he actually went to a non—unionised facility, as the uaw has pointed out. find to a non-unionised facility, as the uaw has pointed out. and to what extent was _ the uaw has pointed out. and to what extent was joe _ the uaw has pointed out. and to what extent was joe biden - what extent wasjoe biden trumped if i could put it == what extent was joe biden trumped ifi could put it -- -- donald trump _ trumped ifi could put it -- -- donald trump announced - trumped ifi could put it -- -- i donald trump announced a visit before joe donald trump announced a visit beforejoe biden came to the tried and so he was saying joe biden is following us. and so he mate have been met with jeers when he walked on the picket lines and a lot of those workers are democrats, they support the democrat party, but he is trying to keep that base of blue—collar supporters strong and so tell people that even though strong and so tell people that even thouthoe biden is very prounion, he can also deliver

for the working class.- for the working class. let's talk about _ for the working class. let's talk about the _ for the working class. let's talk about the debate now. among republican candidates. it hasjust among republican candidates. it has just wrapped among republican candidates. it hasjust wrapped up. what among republican candidates. it has just wrapped up. what are people saying about the various candidates and the fact they are so far away from the leader which is donald trump?- which is donald trump? what the 're which is donald trump? what they're saying _ which is donald trump? what they're saying is _ which is donald trump? what they're saying is the - which is donald trump? what they're saying is the debate l they're saying is the debate was not a huge factor in terms of it is not going to have a lasting impact, it is not going to help a lot of these candidates breakthrough. they become famous for a night but then that disappears. you are already seeing some of canada's who were not able to make the debate stage like asa hutchinson, you may see some candidates drop out but it is still a fragmented field which makes it hard for an alternative to donald trump to arrive just like in 2016. arrivejust like in 2016. daniel lippman thank you much

for talking to us. later in about 20 minutes we will be going back to that story and it is such a big issue for the car sector in the united states and the president was among striking workers yesterday. we had donald trump there as well so all that in more detail later. uk police are investigating the murder of a 15—year—old girl in south london, who was stabbed on her way to school. a teenage boy was arrested shortly after the girl died at the scene in croydon, and police say he may have known the victim. louisa pilbeam reports. behind these screens overnight, forensic experts searched for evidence after a teenage girl was killed, stabbed in the neck on a busy street on her way to school. this bus had been full of schoolchildren at 8:30am on one of the main roads through

the clean—up, where, for many in the qaraqosh community, hope has died out. translation: we buried 16 i persons today from our family. 16 persons, adults and children. hundreds of mourners attended a funeral for some of the victims, their faces seen on images carried by their loved ones. translation: we have no more feelings, we no longer feel- anything because we all know each other here in hamdaniya. each one of us has a relative or a neighbour or a family member. we were all one family here in qaraqosh. this is the moment when tragedy sparked. hundreds of friends, family and neighbours gathered together to celebrate this christian wedding. in the banqueting area, as the bride and groom danced, the fire spread fast and trapped many.

witnesses and officials said it was sparked by fireworks fuelled by flammable panels covering the hall. those who are injured have been transferred to hospitals across the area, including the nearby city of mosul and in neighbouring kurdistan region. police have made arrests, including workers, the owner of the hall, and people who set off the fireworks. it's been reported that the iraqi interior minister said the blaze was caused by fireworks, which led to the roof burning heavily and collapsing on the citizens. there's been criticism of the materials used. the prime minister, mohammed shia' al sudani, said there would be building and safety inspections, with the relevant authorities held accountable for any negligence. the findings of the inspection are expected in the coming days. laura trant, bbc news.

an american soldier, who ran across the border to north korea from the south, has been returned to us custody. travis king was handed over to us officials in china on wednesday. the 23—year—old reconnaissance specialist illegally crossed into north korea back injuly. jean mackenzie has the latest from seoul. this is travis king, moments before he ran into north korea during a tour of the demilitarised zone. the us soldier had been in trouble with the south korean authorities and was being sent home to be disciplined by the army. the north koreans have kept his whereabouts a total secret. but behind the scenes, an extraordinary operation has been unfolding. sweden played chief negotiator, acting on behalf of the us. they went into north korea to get private king and took him across the border to china, where a us team was waiting to fly him home.

there is a slither of geopolitical hope in all this, that, despite current military tensions between north korea and the united states, both sides were able to arrange travis king's safe return, and with help from china. a us official said this showed the importance of keeping channels of communication open, while adding they'd made no concessions to the north to make this happen. private king is said to be in good health and good spirits, excited to be heading home. any disciplining will wait, the us says, until his medical and emotional needs have been met and he's been reunited with his family. jean mackenzie, bbc news, in seoul. now to a crisis unfolding in a region disputed by both armenia and azerbaijan. the exodus of ethnic armenians from nagorno—karabakh surpassed

50,000 on wednesday. more than a third of residents have fled in the aftermath of azerbaijan's military takeover last week. many have ended up in the town of goris, from where our correspondent, sarah rainsford reports. well, a flow of refugees from nagorno—karabakh is not only continuing, it is increasing and intensifying. you can see behind me herejust one car, but there are streets full of cars here piled up with people cosmic possessions, roof racks are piled high, boots jammed full, and the cars themselves full, and the cars themselves full of families. we have seen seven or eight people squeeze into some cars. we even saw a dumper truck yesterday were children on board, a couple of dozen children peering over the top of that track because people are using any transport and any means they can to leave nagorno—karabakh and come here to armenia because when they are telling me when they get here is that they don't feel safe to stay in that enclave

now. they have been told by the azerbaijani authorities they would be protected, that their human rights are guaranteed, but nobody i have spoken to believes that information, they can't trust it. they have been so many wars between armenia and azerbaijan and nagorno—karabakh specifically nagorno—kara bakh specifically that the nagorno—karabakh specifically that the people who have lived there for decades now say they have to leave. and they have been a lot of tears. it is a really depressed mood as people flood over into armenia. these are people who don't believe they are ever going back to nagorno—karabakh, and a lot of them have said it is kind of like an exodus, it is not a temporary evacuation, they don't believe they will see their homes again. sarah rainsford reporting from goris for us. were you watching this time yesterday? if you work and we will have seen this extraordinary moment from a family picnic in mexico when a very hungry bear arrived to join them. terrifying, isn't it? you may have seen this video

on bbc news, showing a black bear interrupting a family picnic in northern mexico. the bear chomped through tacos and enchiladas, before wandering off. the family in the video have spoken about the experience. this is what they had to say. translation: i this is what they had to say. translation:— translation: i felt a lot of fear because _ translation: i felt a lot of fear because the _ translation: i felt a lot of fear because the body i translation: i felt a lot of fear because the body kind l translation: | felt a lot of| fear because the body kind of relaxes but i didn't feel my breathing speeding up, my heart pounding, and that's why i think i could remain still as the pair put his face and knows even a centimetre from my face. i could even smell the saliva. could you imagine? so much more for you on this programme, i have dimension we will look in more detail on the business perspective with regards to donald trump cosmic trip to michigan. also, we are looking at meta. yes, mark zetterberg, the boss, has been announcing all sorts, including ai chat bots with personality. the mind boggles. we will explain in a

moment. hello, it was rather strongly on wednesday up to the west, storm agnes clearing overnight, on thursday looking a lot calmer, rather blustery through the morning, still some crystal gales in northern scotland but some sunshine around for most, clouding overfrom the some sunshine around for most, clouding over from the west into the afternoon. there goes storm agnes, that deep area of low pressure gradually weakening, the winds lightning in the rain pulling away to. a mild start to thursday morning, temperatures no lower than thursday morning. more or less what some spots will expect to see by day at this time of year. we are between weather systems. a dry and a bright start, still rather blustery out there, brisk south—westerly winds, possibly some coastal gales for northern scotland, clouding over from the west as we have through the afternoon and parts of northern ireland, western scotland, may be west and wales will see some showers through the day later on today. temperatures a little lower

than wednesday but still mild for the time of year, 16 to 20 celsius for most. now, on thursday night, it does stay very mild indeed. we will still see some outbreaks of rain, possibly they will feature justin to the south and east as we into friday morning. potentially a mild start to the day. loads between 12 and 16 celsius this time. a little feature could give us some outbreaks of rain towards the south and east on friday morning perhaps, but that is set to clear away. some showers towards the north—west of scotland again. but in the middle there will be a lot of dry, bright weather, plenty of sunshine around, the winds are a lot lighter and again temperatures are expected to peak at around 17 to 20 celsius, so again, about the seasonal average, and that is generally where they are expected to stay as we head through the course of the weekend as well. there will be some wet weather around at times, i think particularly on saturday, from this area of low pressure just pushing saturday, from this area of low pressurejust pushing in saturday, from this area of low pressure just pushing in from the west there, so turning

rather wet, the west there, so turning ratherwet, ratherwindy rather wet, rather windy towards western ratherwet, ratherwindy towards western areas of scotland, northern ireland, possibly west and wales as well as we have through the afternoon but further south and east it looks as if it will stay largely dry again, temperatures in the mid to high teens for most, maybe 20 celsius in the south. those temperatures in the south and east climbing further on sunday for the start of october. bye—bye.
