US debate makes waves overseas

The debate between US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump featured some tense exchanges on foreign policy. And it was being closely watched around the world for signs of how each of the rivals might act in the White House.

The view from Moscow, by Russia editor Steve Rosenberg

The Kremlin claimed to have been irked by all mentions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the debate. "Putin's name is used as one of the instruments for the internal battle in the US," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told me. "We don't like this." Last week, Putin claimed he was backing Harris in the election and praised her "infectious laugh". Later a Russian state TV anchor clarified that Putin had been "slightly ironic".

Beijing’s viewpoint, by China correspondent Laura Bicker

Kamala Harris has no track record on China and on the debate stage she simply repeated her line that the US, not China, would win the competition for the 21st Century. The vice-president represents something China does not like - uncertainty. For Chinese leaders, this debate will have done little to assuage beliefs that Trump represents something else they don't like - unpredictability.

And in Hungary, by Central Europe correspondent Nick Thorpe

Trump showered praise on the Hungarian prime minister: "Viktor Orban, one of the most respected men, they call him a strong man." Hungary's pro-government Magyar Nemzet ran the headline: "Huge recognition!" But government-critical news portal 444 quoted Tim Walz, running mate of Harris. "He [Trump] was asked to name one world leader who was with him, and he said Orban. Dear God. That's all we need to know."

• Claims checked: Trump repeated a baseless claim about immigrants eating people's pets, while Harris falsely said unemployment was at its highest since the Great Depression when her rival left office. Read BBC Verify's verdicts.

• Watch: Harris and Trump were shaking hands again, just hours after their fiery debate, as they attended a 9/11 memorial in New York.

• Voters' views: Reaction to the debate from across the country suggested the electorate is as divided as polls suggest. Here's what people said.

THE BIG PICTURE

The remarkable rise of padel

It has more than 30 million players worldwide, including David Beckham, Serena Williams and even French President Emmanuel Macron. But how did padel - once largely the preserve of Hollywood glitterati visiting the Mexican resort town of Acapulco - get so popular? BBC Sport's Jake Jones explains.

And finally... in Northern Ireland

A new statue designed to commemorate Elizabeth II and Prince Philip has received a mixed reception. "We have to be honest, it does not resemble the Queen in any shape or form," a local councillor said. "The dogs and Prince Philip look nice, but the Queen... it doesn’t look like her," a visitor thought. Take a look, and see what you think.
