	Description:		It has been a week that has seen a US Presidential debate take place, again. The last 90 minutes cost President Biden his job! This time it started with niceties, an extended hand from Kamala Harris that has become known as the ‘power move handshake’: look it up on TikTok. “Let’s have fun” said Donald Trump! And If they didn’t, we did. News lines emerged that would make the satirical Onion website proud. ‘Immigrants are eating dogs and cats in Springfield’ read one. Then one very famous self-styled ‘childless Cat lady’ set out her stall too. Has Tuesday night altered the race to the White House? It has been a week that has seen a world first: a non-professional crew carrying out a space walk 700 kilometres above earth. Orbiting at a higher altitude than any mission for five decades, US billionaire Jared Isaacman and Space X engineer Sarah Gillis took on what is considered to be one of the riskiest manoeuvres. And it turns out rock stars can be lifesavers: this week, Nashville police credited Jon Bon Jovi for saving a woman’s life by talking her down from the ledge of a bridge on Tuesday night. So we will be asking the correspondents in this often difficult world for their reasons to be cheerful this week.
