	Description:		The US mid-term elections in four days' time will help define the rest of Donald Trump's presidency. Many left-wing Democrats say it's a chance to rebuild their party without the big money funding and centrism of the past. Others say the opposite - to win over Trump supporters they must be moderate and cautious, and if they win the House they should co-operate with him on some issues. We hear from the state of Pennsylvania. Also in the programme: rumours in the United States of a trade deal with China have caused shares in Asia to rally despite a lack of comment from Beijing; and Graca Machel tells us why her late husband, Nelson Mandela, would have joined her campaign for a better future for Africa's youth.
