It's the eve of the Kamala Harris-Donald Trump debate - the US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate versus the US former President and Republican presidential candidate.

Ron talks to Susie about what policies are likely to be canvassed at the event. It's the first presidential debate since President Joe Biden announced he won't be contesting the November election.
