Two days until US election

World Business Report

Available for over a year

It's all getting very tense as we near the end of the US election process, so what's it like on the ground? We speak to Lauren Fedor, the Financial Times' Washington correspondent. The US election doesn't just impact that country, it has seismic implications for many other economies around the globe as we hear from independent economist, Michael Hughes. Plus, what do parents owe their adult children and has the covid pandemic changed the financial equation? Manuela Saragosa reports. And Alex Durrant, Chief Executive of dating app Jigsaw, tells us how online dating is faring during the coronavirus pandemic.
