US Election: Watching the debate

As Americans watched the first TV debate between President Trump and Democrat challenger Joe Biden, we had families send us audio messages with their instant reaction as they were viewing the live exchanges. What did they learn from what they saw? We also talk to long-time political journalists about what sort of character Americans look for when they're choosing a president - and whether the Trump era has shifted those attitudes.

We get your questions answered on the big issues of the day on the coronavirus pandemic with Dr Emma Hodcroft from the University of Basel. As more commentary on Sweden's coronavirus response is written and discussed, we talk about how well the Swedes have really done and whether their strategy can be applied elsewhere in the world.

We're also continuing to track the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. If you're new to the story and know nothing about the area, we'll explain the basics, including how larger neighbours like Russia and Turkey fit in to the picture.
