The US vice-president speaks at the convention as Trump sends officers to Wisconsin.

Mike Pence formally accepts the nomination to run as the Republican Party's vice-presidential candidate.The convention has coincided with unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin - sparked by the police shooting of a black man.

We hear about the latest instalment of the mega popular Call of Duty video game.

And we ask which crops are the most resilient to climate change and will we have to learn to love some ancient grains all over again.

Also on the programme - the future of work and what place, of any, will offices have in it?

Plus, we hear about a new bus service, which is due to start soon in India. But it is not of the kind you would imagine. This journey will go from Delhi all the way to London, covering 20,000 kilometres and will stop in 18 countries. The journey will take 70 days.
