More Reaction to the US Presidential Debate

BBC World Service - Business Matters, More Reaction to the US Presidential Debate

Roger Hearing analyses further the Presidential debate between the two main candidates.

More than 71 million people watched the two main candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in their final debate in the race for the White House.  Mike Johnson asked the US economist Irwin Stelzer from the free market Hudson Institute in Washington who he thought had come off best.

The British Prime Minister Theresa May is in Brussels for her first European Union summit as the leader of a country committed  to leaving the organisation. She said that Britain would be a strong and dependable partner for the EU after Brexit. The terms of the UK's trade relations after its departure are still unclear - and that is a worry for many African countries which have a long history of commercial links. Roger Hearing speaks to Lord Boateng, the former UK high commissioner to South Africa who is part of the committee.

Professor John Logsdon from the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University discusses Schiaparelli, the missing robotic probe sent to Mars by the European Space Agency. It's not definite that the $251m project is at an end, but agency officials are not hopeful about the lander's survival.

Roger Hearing is joined by Alison Van Diggelen,  host of radio programme Fresh Dialogues in San Francisco and columnist, author and writer Madhavan Narayanan in New Delhi.
