Roy Moore Faces Alabama Voters' Verdict

The ultra-conservative Roy Moore, who is accused of child abuse, is facing a tight race

Alabama voters are choosing between a Republican accused of child abuse and a Democrat seeking an upset win in the Deep South after an ugly Senate race. While much of the Republican establishment has distanced itself from the 70-year-old former Alabama judge who denies the accusations, President Donald Trump has backed him.

Also in the programme; French President Emmanuel Macron has told world leaders and heads of companies that "we are losing the battle" against climate change and; how children and teenagers are getting hooked on 'skin betting'.
