Kenya could have the most expensive election campaign per head in the world. That's according to data from the Kenyan treasury just two weeks before the country goes to the polls. The BBC's Will Bain reports on the country's extravagant campaign culture. The UK and US are meeting to discuss potential post-Brexit trade deals. We hear from Marianne Schneider-Petsinger, America specialist at the research group Chatham House.
