Donald Trump and Kamala Harris trade insults in run up to US election | BBC News | BBC News BBC News 2024-10-18 | With less than three weeks left for the US presidential elections, a charity dinner that has historically been about good-natured ribbing turned out to be not an entirely jokey affair.Donald Trump made an appearance at the Al Smith charity dinner with his wife Melania, giving an address that resembled a rally - with bitter attacks on his rival Kamala Harris - but also made a few gags at his own expense in line with tradition.Harris broke with convention herself by declining to attend in favour of a key campaign event, instead sending a video skit that was played to attendees.The event, which is aimed at raising funds for women and children in need, is often the last time the two nominees share a stage before election day.Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUogFor more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #USElections #BBCNews

King Charles and Queen Camilla to begin Australia trip | BBC News BBC News 2024-10-17 | King Charles and Queen Camilla are on their way to Australia for the biggest overseas trip since the King began cancer treatment in February. It is a visit which has reopened questions about the future of the monarchy in Australia - and the debate about whether the country should become a republic. For some, the fact that King Charles is travelling over 16,000 km (10,000 miles) across 10 different time zones - all while going through cancer treatment - is a testament to his love of Australia. But amid a cost-of-living crisis, many other Australians have failed to take notice of the trip at all - while some campaigners have tried to frame it as the Royal Family’s “farewell tour”. It’s a question that the government has, for now at least, put on ice - while King Charles earlier this week reiterated longstanding Palace policy that the matter should be left for the “public to decide”.Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUogFor more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #Australia #BBCNews
