:00:08. > :00:14.Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton slugged it out for 90 minutes.
:00:15. > :00:19.No knock-out blow, but who came out on top?
:00:20. > :00:22.Scientists in the United States say the world's first baby has been born
:00:23. > :00:26.using a new "three person" fertility technique.
:00:27. > :00:30.For the first time, the International Criminal Court has
:00:31. > :00:31.passed a sentence for cultural destruction.
:00:32. > :00:36.The crimes were committed in Mali by a jihadi.
:00:37. > :00:39.Nasa finds more evidence of water on one of Jupiter's moons.
:00:40. > :00:59.Reaction has been coming in thick and fast since the to US
:01:00. > :01:01.presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
:01:02. > :01:03.faced each other in their first televised debate.
:01:04. > :01:05.Campaign teams for both have praised the performances
:01:06. > :01:11.But Donald Trump, despite initially saying the moderator
:01:12. > :01:14.Lester Holt had done a good job, is now saying Holt was tougher
:01:15. > :01:17.Trump has also complained about his microphone crackling
:01:18. > :01:30.In response, Hillary Clinton had this to say:
:01:31. > :01:33.Anybody who blames it on the microphone is not having a good
:01:34. > :01:36.night. In diplomacy, they call
:01:37. > :01:42.this a grin and grab. In last night's presidential debate,
:01:43. > :01:53.it quickly gave way to grimaces, as both
:01:54. > :01:54.candidates exchanged blows. Donald Trump started attacking
:01:55. > :01:56.Hillary Clinton for initially backing
:01:57. > :01:58.the Pacific Trade Deal The gold standard of trade,
:01:59. > :02:03.you said it was the finest And then you heard what I
:02:04. > :02:07.said about it and all Well, Donald, I know
:02:08. > :02:11.you live in your reality, But then it was Donald Trump's
:02:12. > :02:15.to be put under the cosh. First over his refusal to hand
:02:16. > :02:17.over his tax returns, something that
:02:18. > :02:19.all candidates have done Maybe he doesn't want the American
:02:20. > :02:23.people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he's paid
:02:24. > :02:26.nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody's ever
:02:27. > :02:30.seen were a couple of years when he asked to turn them over to state
:02:31. > :02:33.authorities when he was trying to get a casino licence and they showed
:02:34. > :02:36.he didn't pay any But how smart, when
:02:37. > :02:42.everybody else has His business acumen
:02:43. > :02:46.is a cornerstone of his appeal, not questions. He then came under attack
:02:47. > :02:52.over his attitude towards women, a key demographic in this
:02:53. > :02:58.election where he is trailing badly. But this is a man who has called
:02:59. > :03:02.women pigs, slobs and dogs. She spoke about a beauty pageant
:03:03. > :03:04.contestant who Mr Trump had called Miss Housekeeping,
:03:05. > :03:10.because she was Latino. Donald, she has
:03:11. > :03:12.a name. Her name is Alicia
:03:13. > :03:16.and she has become a US citizen and you can bet that
:03:17. > :03:19.she's going to vote this November. But Donald Trump then sought
:03:20. > :03:26.to make it about character. I said she doesn't have the stamina
:03:27. > :03:36.and I don't believe To be president of this
:03:37. > :03:39.country, you need Well, as soon as he travels
:03:40. > :03:43.to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a
:03:44. > :03:46.ceasefire, a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities
:03:47. > :03:50.in nations around the world or even spends 11 hours testifying in front
:03:51. > :03:52.of a congressional committee, you Hillary has experience,
:03:53. > :04:05.but it's bad experience. We have made so many bad
:04:06. > :04:08.deals during the last... So she's got experience,
:04:09. > :04:10.but it is bad, bad Donald Trump is positioning
:04:11. > :04:14.himself as the political outsider and that resonates
:04:15. > :04:16.with many disillusioned Americans. By the end of the debate,
:04:17. > :04:19.it was Donald Trump's stamina that
:04:20. > :04:23.seemed to be flagging. Here, both sides are claiming
:04:24. > :04:26.victory, as you would expect, and Donald Trump has come
:04:27. > :04:28.in to do his own spinning. He had one question to answer
:04:29. > :04:31.in this debate: Did he have the temperament to be
:04:32. > :04:33.the next commander-in-chief, Mr Trump, are you satisfied
:04:34. > :04:49.with how it went? Several news organisations carried
:04:50. > :04:52.out their own polls, A joint CNN/ORC survey
:04:53. > :04:59.gave Mrs Clinton 62% But the organisations
:05:00. > :05:03.acknowledge that more Democrats The broadcaster CNBC
:05:04. > :05:08.asked people to cast The outcome was 61 to 39
:05:09. > :05:13.in favour of Mr Trump, although there's no way of knowing
:05:14. > :05:15.the background of any But the Public Policy Polling
:05:16. > :05:22.Organisation carried out its own survey of what it claims
:05:23. > :05:25.is a balanced group of more than a thousand
:05:26. > :05:27.registered US voters. They called it 51 to 40 for Clinton,
:05:28. > :05:32.with 9% of people undecided. Well, Pennsylvania is a key swing
:05:33. > :05:35.state for both candidates. To get an idea of the reaction
:05:36. > :05:37.from voters there, our correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan
:05:38. > :05:52.is in Philadelphia. What is the verdict? Well, I've
:05:53. > :05:54.spent the morning here at Philadelphia's Reading terminal
:05:55. > :05:57.market and people are just finishing their lunch, but throughout the
:05:58. > :06:02.course of the morning, people are Pindar jesting and discussing last
:06:03. > :06:05.night's debate and as you say, Pennsylvania is a key state in this
:06:06. > :06:10.election and it is a key battle ground and where both Clinton and
:06:11. > :06:15.Trump both need to win if they want the keys to the White House. So what
:06:16. > :06:24.the voters see a thing? I'm joined by Jim and Dorothy. Let us begin
:06:25. > :06:28.with you, Jim. What did you think? I was disappointed to some degree, I
:06:29. > :06:33.thought the moderator conducted himself like a rookie. I say that
:06:34. > :06:40.for two reasons, one is that he always started the questioning with
:06:41. > :06:46.the same candidate, except for one time and I think that's gave an
:06:47. > :06:55.advantage to that candidate. Do you mean Clinton? Yes, and she started
:06:56. > :07:00.the canisters, except on the second to last question I gave her an
:07:01. > :07:07.advantage of getting her ideas out in the brains of the audience and
:07:08. > :07:13.the people. And then Mr Trump had to say things that would try get those
:07:14. > :07:20.ideas away from them. You support and all Trump? Yes. How would you
:07:21. > :07:25.assess his overall performance? I think they both did OK. I don't
:07:26. > :07:30.think either of them are really gained any votes lost any. I think
:07:31. > :07:35.they're both did pretty well. Dorothy, you are supporting Clinton.
:07:36. > :07:39.How do Joe candidate do? I think she did well and her experience showed.
:07:40. > :07:44.She knows how these things work and knows how to make the best advantage
:07:45. > :07:48.of the situation she was in. I think she did fine. I don't think either
:07:49. > :07:54.one would have gained or lost and supporters. A debate is difficult
:07:55. > :08:00.for someone to change someone's mind, because it is so difficult a
:08:01. > :08:04.situation for them to be in. How much of this is now box office a
:08:05. > :08:10.reality television and how much is really about important political
:08:11. > :08:14.issues? I think a lot of it is just reality television. Trying to get
:08:15. > :08:20.the attention of voters, applying their base instinct and I don't
:08:21. > :08:26.think... I so by Hillary, and I don't think Donald Trump as many
:08:27. > :08:29.real ideas or his policies are fully formed. Clinton has a lot more
:08:30. > :08:33.experience in that areas and I think it is a matter of personality, at
:08:34. > :08:37.one point or another, people are going to gravitate to the
:08:38. > :08:41.personality they like best, for better or worse. General, finally,
:08:42. > :08:49.what do you think Donald Trump needs to do before the next debate? He
:08:50. > :08:55.needs to stick to his solutions for the problems in America. He has that
:08:56. > :09:01.figured out pretty well. He doesn't think like a politician or talk like
:09:02. > :09:07.one but I do know how to tell them to change or to improve on that. An
:09:08. > :09:17.example, last night, Clinton talked to him about his financial problems.
:09:18. > :09:22.She brought up 15 points and all of those are based on speculation. Now,
:09:23. > :09:27.she worded it is such a way that if a person wasn't paying close
:09:28. > :09:33.attention, they'd think that she was making factual statements. Letters
:09:34. > :09:37.asked Dorothy's opinion. I agree Trump doesn't talk or act like a
:09:38. > :09:43.politician, he should do that a little more. A bit more grandeur and
:09:44. > :09:46.controversial statements alienate a lot of people and I think if he
:09:47. > :09:50.wants to get enough support committee needs to stop alienating
:09:51. > :09:54.people. But in a way that seems valid, not him just saying what we
:09:55. > :09:59.want him to say, that he really means it. I don't know if he has
:10:00. > :10:04.time to do that. Interesting views there. It is of course worth noting
:10:05. > :10:07.that was the first of three presidential debates and there's
:10:08. > :10:11.also a vice presidential debate next week. A lot of time in store for
:10:12. > :10:12.many undecided voters who I've messed this morning to make up their
:10:13. > :10:17.minds. -- who I've met this morning. There was a lot of talk
:10:18. > :10:20.at the debate on trade and Donald Trump had some things
:10:21. > :10:23.to say about Asia as well. Joining me from Washington
:10:24. > :10:32.is political risk Welcome to the programme. Did you
:10:33. > :10:36.get much of a picture of the kind of America we would see under each
:10:37. > :10:40.candidate last night from that debate? How they would deal with the
:10:41. > :10:45.rest of the world when it comes to trade? I thin maybe not so much with
:10:46. > :10:49.trade, but certainly in terms of how they approach the world. From Trump
:10:50. > :10:53.we got the same message is been saying all along, and that is that
:10:54. > :11:05.US allies are taking advantage, we are footing the bill for the
:11:06. > :11:07.Security and allowing them to get rich and take advantage of US
:11:08. > :11:10.economic openness and trade deals and that has to stop. That has been
:11:11. > :11:11.his worldview and he has been consistent. From Secretary Clinton,
:11:12. > :11:13.it is a little different. She doesn't bother transpacific
:11:14. > :11:18.partnership anymore, but she does have a worldview that recognises the
:11:19. > :11:22.value of the institutions of the America created after the end of
:11:23. > :11:25.World War II. She recognises there are some positive gains from the US
:11:26. > :11:31.underwriting these global institutions. She knows that has to
:11:32. > :11:37.continue and that there is for argument that. Donald Trump going on
:11:38. > :11:43.in the attack over Clinton's reversal on that trade deal, how
:11:44. > :11:50.much of a blow did he land there? That was seen as one of his
:11:51. > :11:55.strongest elements. Is certainly an issue where Secretary Clinton is
:11:56. > :11:59.vulnerable. People on her left, former supporters of Senator Sanders
:12:00. > :12:03.from the Democratic campaign, I think it was a big issue for them.
:12:04. > :12:08.There's a lot of questions over where she stands on this, what will
:12:09. > :12:12.she do about it. Wherever her heart is, I think if she were elected, it
:12:13. > :12:15.would be hard for her to move forward with the trade agreement.
:12:16. > :12:21.Even President Obama is trying to get it done before he leaves office,
:12:22. > :12:24.despite the obstacles. Is there any perception that Trump is more
:12:25. > :12:29.trustworthy with matters of trade, given that he is a product of the
:12:30. > :12:35.business world and not a politician? I don't know if trust really gets
:12:36. > :12:42.there. This is someone who I thin back in 2000 talked about how he
:12:43. > :12:46.was... If he were elected, he was going to be his own trade
:12:47. > :12:52.Representative. So he's talked a big game about trade deals. But this is
:12:53. > :12:55.closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. The US is still a
:12:56. > :12:59.major manufacturing power, is just that they are very efficient at the
:13:00. > :13:04.same number of manufacturing jobs available. In some ways, Secretary
:13:05. > :13:07.Clinton's approach is better in that she's thinking about creating jobs
:13:08. > :13:10.in the economy as a whole and we've heard none of that from Donald
:13:11. > :13:16.Trump. He talks about these bad trade deals, there's no plan for how
:13:17. > :13:19.to create good jobs in the United States, he just talks about stopping
:13:20. > :13:21.jobs going overseas. That's not good enough. Thank you.
:13:22. > :13:24.Scientists in the United States say the first baby has been
:13:25. > :13:26.born using a new "three person" fertility technique.
:13:27. > :13:30.The New Scientist Journal says a baby boy,
:13:31. > :13:32.who is now five months old, was born to Jordanian parents.
:13:33. > :13:34.They were treated by a US team in Mexico
:13:35. > :13:36.as the procedures are not approved in the US.
:13:37. > :13:39.parents with rare genetic mutations to avoid passing
:13:40. > :13:43.It involves removing the nucleus from one of the mother's eggs,
:13:44. > :13:48.and inserting it into a donor egg which has
:13:49. > :14:04.In every case here, this is a genetic mutation which is passed on
:14:05. > :14:11.a downer through the mother's ache in structures known as the power
:14:12. > :14:16.packs of themselves. In a couple, from Jordan, had already had two
:14:17. > :14:24.children who died of a genetic disorder and four miscarriages, all
:14:25. > :14:30.as a result of this. Experts in New York took healthy donor DNA from a
:14:31. > :14:36.second woman and mixed it with the DMA, the key DNA that you inherit
:14:37. > :14:41.from your parents that affects your personality, how you look, all the
:14:42. > :14:47.key DNA, and produced this healthy baby boy who is now five months old.
:14:48. > :14:55.But that tiny bit, that no .01% of DNA from the third person will be
:14:56. > :15:00.passed on down the generations. A little bit of disquiet that we
:15:01. > :15:04.haven't had the full scientific report on this, where having to take
:15:05. > :15:10.their word on it. It has come out as an abstract, one of the short, brief
:15:11. > :15:13.paragraphs that hasn't even been discussed at the scientific
:15:14. > :15:19.conference. We will get it at some point. What is the ethical and legal
:15:20. > :15:22.position of a technique like this? It is very interesting, a lot of
:15:23. > :15:26.people are uncomfortable about it. It's interesting that last team
:15:27. > :15:31.based in New York, just off Central Park, went to Mexico to do it. They
:15:32. > :15:36.went to Mexico, because there are no rules there. Indeed, many countries
:15:37. > :15:44.would make this illegal. The only country that has specifically passed
:15:45. > :15:48.legislation to permit it is the UK and a team of scientists in the
:15:49. > :15:51.North of England are planning to help a handful of women every year,
:15:52. > :15:56.but they haven't even applied for the license yet, this team, is not a
:15:57. > :15:58.race of course, that New York have done it first. Thank you.
