US Election 2020: Biden and Trump in last weekend dash round swing states

This year’s US presidential election is on course for a record turnout, with more than 90-million Americans voting early. That’s two-thirds of the total number of people who voted in 2016.

Also in the programme: A typhoon that has made landfall in the Philippines is moving towards the capital, Manila, with wind speeds of more than two hundred kilometres an hour; and we hear from both France and Turkey following the attacks in Nice on Thursday and the demonstrations against President Macron in a number of Muslim majority countries.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues: Amin Maalouf, Lebanese-born French author, and Karin von Hippel, Director-General of the Royal United Services Institute in London.
