TV election debates

Ahead of the BBC election debate between leading figures from the UK's seven main parties, we discuss the most famous TV debate moments and the importance of these debates with two political reporters in the US and in Ghana.

We speak to Yogita Limaya, the BBC's South Asia correspondent, who has been in Chin state in western Myanmar, along the border with India and Bangladesh to report on the impact of the civil war between the military and rebel groups.

With many significant elections taking place around the world this year, we bring a conversation with politicians in the UK, France and Canada about the often toxic world of politics.

Presenter: Catherine Byaruhanga.
