Trump's VP Pick Mike Pence Makes Debut

Republican delegates prepare to acclaim Indiana Governor Mike Pence as Donald Trump's running mate.

Delegates from across the United States prepare to acclaim Governor Mike Pence as Donald Trump's running mate to take on Hillary Clinton in November. Fergus Nicoll presents from Cleveland, Ohio, on day three of the Republican National Convention. He hears from Young Republicans about their thoughts on the choice of Mike Pence.

Also, we explore the legacy of America's sub-prime mortgage crisis - and the impact that's still felt in Cleveland more than eight years later.

Mitchell Hartman from our partner programme Marketplace meets farmers and ranchers in Oregon and Washington State in the Pacific north-west - to find out what is on the minds of regular rank-and-file Republicans.

And, Fergus is joined throughout the programme by guests Nancy Marshall-Genzer from Marketplace and Professor Peter Morici of the University of Maryland.
