This week has seen another US presidential debate take place. The last 90 minutes cost President Joe 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 website The Onion proud. "Immigrants are eating dogs and cats in Springfield", read one. Then one very famous self-styled "childless cat lady" set out her stall. Has Tuesday night altered the race to the White House?

It has also been a week that's seen a world first: a non-professional crew carrying out a spacewalk 700 kilometres above earth. Orbiting at a higher altitude than any mission for five decades, US billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis took on what is considered one of the riskiest manoeuvres.

Finally, 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. We ask our panel for their reasons to be cheerful this week in an often difficult world.
