Welcome to another Saturday with the Reuters weekend regulars. Our World News podcast goes to Southport, where a deadly stabbing attack left a town in mourning and sparked misinformation that fed racist unrest on England's streets.
The latest: Video showed body parts scattered on the ground and more bodies being carried away. Empty food tins lay in a puddle of blood and burned mattresses and a child's doll were among the debris. The Israeli military said it targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants operating there, and cast doubt on the number of dead. The U.S. released $3.5 billion to Israel to spend on American weapons and military equipment.
Exclusive: Dozens of Russian military personnel are being trained in Iran to use the Fath-360 close-range ballistic missile system. Sources expect the imminent delivery of hundreds of the satellite-guided weapons to Russia for its war in Ukraine.
Debate: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate on Sept. 10 on ABC, setting up the first face-to-face match-up between the rivals in what polls show is a close race. Trump said presidents should have a say over Fed decisions. "I made a lot of money, I was very successful, and I think I have a better instinct than… people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman."
