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. 90 million Americans have now cast early ballots before election day on Tuesday. That’s two-thirds of the total number of people that voted in 2016.

Also in the programme: Votes have been cast in Ivory Coast's controversial presidential election; and Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90.

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.
