Live: The Second US Presidential Debate

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We hear live from the second US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton - and ask if either can recover from the swathes of unfavourable news about both candidates during the course of campaigning. We also hear from former President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, and ask him what he makes of Donald Trump's rhetoric about trade between the US and his country. As UK politicians run back and forth on policies asking businesses to list their foreign workers, we speak to the co-founder of Cobra beer, Lord Bilimoria, who was born in India, what this sentiment might spell for the UK's internationalist economy. In the week where the pound hit a 31-year low against the US dollar, where next for Britain's economy? Finally, as the West feels increasing pressure from Russia's President Putin over nuclear threats, our expert tells us that he is playing up to domestic beliefs that Russia is having a "resurgence".
