The former first lady has been wrongly described as a helpless woman unable to shape her own destiny, writes Jon Sopel. A vocal defence of abortion rights in her new memoir shows she can play an important role in the election – but will it be one that Donald wants?

1728741616Why is Harris’s medical report important?
The release of Kamala Harris’s medical report showing that she is in “excellent health” and “possesses the physical and mental resiliency” required to serve as president is significant because her campaign hopes to use the moment to draw a contrast with Republican Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his health over the years.
They want to raise questions about his fitness to serve, according to a campaign aide who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
Trump has released very little health information, including after his ear was grazed by a bullet during an assassination attempt in July.

1728738000DeSantis denies that climate change is making hurricanes more powerful
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis denied that the climate crisis is making hurricanes more powerful, contrary to the opinion of scientists.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday in the wake of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, DeSantis said there was a “precedent” for the immense destruction.
“There is precedent for all this in history,” DeSantis said. “It is hurricane season. You are going to have tropical weather.”
The governor said that Milton had hit Florida with a barometric pressure of 950 millibars. The lower the barometric pressure, the stronger the storm.
DeSantis’ remarks come in stark contrast to warnings made by scientists, who say that human-caused climate change has intensified Milton‘s rainfall by 20 to 30 percent and strengthened its winds by about 10 percent.
