Countdown to the first US presidential debate

Donald Trump and Joe Biden will shortly face each other in the first presidential debate. But will it make a difference in the race for the White House? We hear from Statehouse Bureau chief Karen Keslar in Ohio, and Peter Spiegel, US Managing Editor of the Financial Times. We get reaction after Disney announced it will lay off around 28,000 employees in its theme parks division. The BBC's chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt has been examining China's recent commitment to be carbon neutral by 2060. Fashion label Fred Perry has withdrawn a black and yellow polo shirt from sale after it became associated with a far right group - the Proud Boys - in the US. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, scholar of extremism and youth radicalisation, explains that this is not a new phenomenon. And with millions working from home because of the pandemic, companies are using software to monitor their employees. The BBC's Lora Jones explains the kind of snooping they've been doing. All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Yumiko Murakami from the OECD, in Tokyo and Dante Disparte of the Risk Cooperative, in Washington DC.
