EL PAÍS News in English

America's other historic debates

Dear readers,

The history of presidential debates in the United States is also the history of television in the country. Ahead of Thursday's showdown between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, we looked back at other historic televised debates, starting with the one between JFK and Richard Nixon (...) and including Jimmy Carter vs Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush vs Al Gore.

‌As part of our coverage of the Americas, we reported on a spike in tourist deaths in the Colombian city of Medellín, which authorities have linked to drug use and prostitution. We also explored the volatile backdrop against which Bolivia has just experienced a coup attempt, and interviewed a former U.S. Border Patrol Agent from El Paso who now spends his days helping newly arrived immigrants.

‌Another major headline this week was the release of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, who returned to Australia a free man on Wednesday. EL PAÍS reveals the inside story of how it participated in the 2010 publication of the U.S. State Department cables along with other leading media organizations - and the consequences of that move.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
