US election conversations: US truck drivers

Three truckers in the US describe what they have seen driving across the country over the past four years. Michael in Arizona, Pat in Indianapolis and Sunny from California also share their experiences of the economy, the pandemic and homelessness.

This week, the BBC World Service is running, “US Elections 2020: What the World Wants”. As part of the coverage, we've been getting messages from around the world about what people want to know about November's election. We have an expert to answer those questions and explain the background.

We also watch the situation in Afghanistan; the peace talks with Taleban have stalled and there's concern about “renewed civil war”. We have been collecting messages from Afghans and will put those in context and explain the latest situation with security.
