Clinton v Trump - Debate Showdown Looms

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are preparing for their first television debate. We ask our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics for his take on the candidates' pledges. Also in the programme, the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species is getting underway in Johannesburg, and the BBC's Matt McGrath tells us how trade in ivory is high on the event's agenda. The US golf star Arnold Palmer has died aged 87. Sports marketing expert Nigel Curry explains how the golfer helped transform the business of sports sponsorship. A new study has revealed just how addicted we are to mobile phones. Raian Ali of Bournemouth University is a lead researcher on digital addiction, and tells us far too many people are unable to switch off. Plus Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times dispenses career advice as she argues there's no such thing as the perfect job. (Picture: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Picture credit: EPA / AFP.)
