Women who share the VP candidate’s heritage on what it means to have her on the ticket

After Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s appearance in the VP debate, we hear from three women who identify as either Indian-American or Jamaican-American. What does it mean to have her on the ticket? How has their identity shaped their political choices?

Also, why isn’t the coronavirus pandemic so bad in Africa? We hear from a medical expert and our Africa correspondent who has been investigating the various theories.

And after talking fires in California and Brazil, we head to Argentina to hear about the worst fires there in more than a decade.
