US midterm elections

We speak to our reporter in Washington as Americans go to the polls

We speak to our reporter in Washington DC, as Americans go to the polls in midterm elections, with Democrats fearing they will lose control of the House of Representatives but hopeful of clinging on to the Senate. Loss of either or both would seriously constrain President Biden's remaining two years in office and strengthen Donald Trump's barely disguised ambition to return to the Oval Office.

We check in with our reporters at COP27 in Egypt, focussing on discussions on 鈥渓oss and damage鈥 and Africa鈥檚 push for more fossil fuel projects. With the help of our environment correspondent, we also explain some of the key phrases and buzzwords in our coverage of COP27.

Air quality in India鈥檚 capital Delhi has been at hazardous levels again. We explain the mix of factors behind the pollution and hear from residents who are concerned over the impact on their health.
