What's at stake in the US elections?

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

There are less than two months to go until the 2020 US presidential election is held in a divided America. Both main candidates and parties have framed it as something of an existential fight - so on this edition of Business Weekly we’ll be looking at the big issues framing that fight. We’ll examine the economy, immigration and healthcare and find out what a Biden presidency or a second term in office for President Trump could mean for these key policy areas. Plus as the Zimbabwean government hands back some land to evicted farmers our reporter in Harare tells us why this is happening and how the move has been received. Plus what has Covid-19 done to the Asian wedding industry? Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies. (Image: Mock ballot paper and US flag, Getty Images)
