US President Donald Trump and Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden hurled insults and repeatedly interrupted each other in their first debate, sparring over topics that included the coronavirus, the economy and their families. The debate was meant to be the first of three before the November 3 election, being held amid a pandemic that has hit the US particularly hard and which will result in an increase in mail-in voting. Trump has, on several occasions, linked mail-in voting to election fraud, raising fears that he may not accept the outcome should he lose to Biden. Photograph: Reuters
