VP debate 'most important' in years

Newsday

Available for over a year

US Vice President Mike Pence and his Democratic Challenger, Kamala Harris, argued about race, abortion, taxes and the climate, in a much more respectful debate than last week's version. We have a special report about why Africa has been relatively unaffected by Covid-19. And an interview with John Lydon, formerly Johnny Rotten, of the Sex Pistols. He tells us lockdowns are ending jobs and lives.
