TikTok and WeChat face a US install ban on Sunday, unless President Trump approves a deal. The 大象传媒's Zoe Kleinman talks us through the latest moves in a long-running source of tension between Washington and Beijing. Also in the programme, continuing our series looking at key issues ahead of November's US presidential election, the 大象传媒's Justin Rowlatt asks whether environmental issues will have much of an impact on how people choose to cast their vote. We find out why this year's Indian Premier League cricket season is being played in the United Arab Emirates. Plus, we hear how rock and roll legend Jon Bon Jovi has been helping out at a local food bank.
