US Election 2020: Trump and Biden battle for swing states

A review of the week with the latest news.

In a final burst of campaigning, US President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden have criss-crossed Midwestern states that may hold the keys to the White House. More than 85 million people have voted early, 55 million of them by post, setting the US on course for its biggest voter turnout in over a century. James Coomarasamy reports from Michigan.

Also in the programme: Anger in France and in a number of Muslim-majority countries after the killings in Nice; and the impact of conflict on women around the world.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues: Azadeh Moaveni, Iranian author and Crisis Group's Gender Project Director, and James Rodgers, writer and lecturer in international journalism.
