World Business Report - US Midterms: Americans head to the polls

Download US Midterms: Americans head to the polls

Voting is underway in what is seen as a referendum on President Trump's 2nd term. The cost of living has been a major issue throughout the campaign, with high food and fuel prices weighing on households.

We also hear from South Africa, as the US plans to suspend the country and Rwanda from the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA, which allows thousands of African products to enter America duty-free.

And a ban on social media for under-16s in Australia is being challenged in the country's High Court.
