    America’s central bank has announced a quarter-point rate cut - rates down to 4.5% from 4.75%. It's been the second time in a row that the US Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates. Mostly because the inflation continues to ease and a Trump presidency hangs over the central bank. We hear from economists what will happen next. Also, Rahul Tandon talks to Everett Eissenstat, a former Trump trade adviser. And we look at German economy and find out why Australia plans social media ban for under-16s.

    Michigan in the spotlight as US election draws closer

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making whirlwind tours of key battleground states in the final week of campaigning. Opinion polls show the candidates are neck and neck. Rahul Tandon looks at the swing state of Michigan and examines what really matters to voters there. In the UK, the Chancellor has delivered the first budget of the new Labour government. It was seen as a key moment for the economy, with some describing it as the most important budget for years as the government raised taxes by over $50 billion. Also, millions of people will be celebrating Diwali which can lead to an increased demand for gold. But with the price at record highs is demand for gold falling? Rahul is joined by Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at global nonprofit thinktank The Conference Board, and Tony Nash CEO and founder of Complete Intelligence.
