Democratic National Convention into its second day
We hear from delegates at the convention in Chicago.
The Democratic National Convention has been taking place this week in Chicago, as delegates vote to recognise Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee, and the party sets out their plan for government. We speak to a delegate from Oregon and a spokesperson from California who are at the convention.
A suspected serial killer, who has confessed to the murders of 42 women, has escaped custody in Kenya alongside with a dozen more detainees. We hear from our correspondent there.
We also bring together three women in the US to discuss reproductive rights, a key issue in the upcoming presidential elections. They tell us their thoughts on the right to abortion care.
