woke up this morning (in Australia) to BBC World Service news bulletin.
their top ***story, which I’ve just located:

1 Oct: ABC: Biden calls Trump’s debate performance a ‘national embarrassment’ as he kicks off train tour
ByJohn Verhovek and Molly Nagle
Pressed on his participation in the next two debates, slated for next month in Miami, Florida, and Nashville, Tennessee, respectively, Biden said he is “looking forward to” them, but expressed hope that candidates will be allowed to answer questions free from the interruptions that defined last night’s conversation.

***”I just hope there’s a way in which the debate commission can control the ability of us to answer the question without interruptions. I’m not going to speculate on what happens in the second or third debate,” Biden said.

an hour later, BBC’s top headline was:

1 Oct: BBC: US election: Rules on debates to change after Trump-Biden spat

(NOTE THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE ALSO CARRIED BY BBC, OF COURSE)
The fallout, however, has also been dominated by remarks Mr Trump made about a far-right group called the Proud Boys.
On Wednesday he sought to clarify his comments, but his critics maintain he has refused to condemn white supremacists...
President Trump constantly interrupted Mr Biden leading to a series of chaotic exchanges in which both men talked over each other...

CBS News, citing an informed source, said the commission would spend the next 48 hours drawing up new guidelines and rules for the second debate.
Controlling the candidates’ microphones is at the top of the list, CBS said, in order to prevent them interrupting the moderator or each other.
Both campaign teams will be informed of the rules but they will not be subject to negotiation, the source added...

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh, who had described Tuesday’s night’s chaotic scenes as a “free exchange of ideas”, criticised the plans.
“They are only doing this because their guy got pummelled last night,” he said in a statement...

Kate Bedingfield, deputy manager for Mr Biden’s campaign, said the former vice-president would participate “under whatever set of rules the commission develops to try to contain Donald Trump’s behaviour”...

What did Mr Trump say about Proud Boys? ETC

Trump should tell the American people that if Biden had to deal with Russia Or China, he can’t “turn off their microphone”to protect himself.

Further, think how evil Biden is. “We will agree to anything they do to control Trump”. That’s disgusting.

The debate was not unlike arguing in The House of Lords in Great Britain, which many people on the left laud as real heat that should be performed in America.

Really, this whole thing is stupid and Joementia is unable to argue against a worthy opponent, which demonstrates his lack of skill and ability.

Angela Merkel will crush him in any discussion and Putin will roll his lazy One World thinking ass.

Xi will be all to happy with a spirit of accommodation that benefits China while continuing to disadvantage the United States and the world.

The Arab states will fall back into their status quo of working mightily to undermine and destroy the nation and people of Israel

The Harris/Biden campaign cannot be allowed to prevail and their collectivist plans destroy communities nor can their ideas of tribalism for segments of society, which undermine the individual right.
