US midterm elections: Your questions answered

Available for 29 days

It's polling day in the US midterms, with millions of Americans voting to decide who will control Congress for the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency. We answer your questions from around the world. We speak to people in Tenerife, where football player Jesus de Miguel has died after suffering a serious injury during a on-field collision. King Charles III has told Commonwealth leaders that the slave trade is a "shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror". We speak to people who have ancestors who were in slavery or involved the slave trade to hear their thoughts.
