Today, we look at the final week in the US election campaign. Adam is joined by BBC News Chief Presenters and hosts of the BBC’s US election night coverage Caitriona Perry and Sumi Somaskanda. They discuss the final week, Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden - including a comedian guest’s controversial remarks about Puerto Rico - and Kamala Harris’ choice of venue for her ‘closing argument’ event on Tuesday evening. And, Adam speaks to UK correspondent Daniel Sandford about how the teenager accused of murdering three young girls in Southport has been given two further charges, one of which is a terrorism charge.

Hi, Adam and Katrina Perry.
Hello.
Hi Adam.
How's, how's the BBC offices looking at the moment?
We are the gills.
Yeah, I'm actually squeezing as many people in here as we possibly can day by day.
I'm talking to you from the makeup room because that is the only quiet spot right now.
Okay, well, journalistic sardines, looking forward to joining in the game in a couple of days time.
Right.
I don't know if we've inducted you into our gimmick, which is remoter voter.
No, nice, more perfect.
Some undecided participants.
Great.
Anyway, this is, we started it in the UK general election and it's people who cannot vote in person and they email us to newscastbc.co.uk to explain why.
And it was such an amazing portrait of like just what people are up to.
