The Republican and Democratic presidential candidates traded claims over key election issues including the economy, immigration and abortion.

Sumi Somaskanda hosts this episode from Philadelphia, where the debate took place. She’s joined by Courtney Subramanian and Bernd Debusmann, from the BBC’s North America digital team.
