Kamala Harris attracted a huge crowd in DC for one of her final speeches of campaign.

But the event鈥檚 been overshadowed - at least in part - by a gaffe from Joe Biden that鈥檚 caused another row about garbage.

Sarah鈥檚 there for the speech.

And, Marianna鈥檚 been speaking to users on X who share content that includes election misinformation, AI-generated images and unfounded conspiracy theories, who say they are being paid "thousands of dollars" by the social media site.

HOSTS:
鈥� Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
鈥� Marianna Spring, Social Media Investigations Correspondent
鈥� Sarah Smith, North America Editor
