Newsday

Available for 29 days

Ahead of crucial midterm elections in the US, there was a blow for the Democrats in Michigan when one of their congresswomen, Haley Stevens, endorsed the Republican candidate in the state's senate election. It followed a spat with her own party's candidate Abdul El-Sayed. We'll be trying to understand how much is at stake for the US and the world, and taking a look at some of the states with the closest fought races. Including North Carolina where the rising cost of living is creating new levels of poverty ... We'll hear about the latest protests in India. In sport - we'll have reaction to - Kimi Antonelli's championship win in Formula 1 - at just 20 years old.
