Live from london, this is business today. We start with uber, the us Tech Firm that has become a global transport giant. Around The World some 6 Million people work as drivers and couriers through the uber app, and their services are used by 150 Million people at least once a month. Well, the boss of uber, dara khosrowshahi, has been talking to our business editor simonjack, about their plans to make the firm greener and get more of their drivers using Electric Cars. But hes worried that trade tensions with china are getting in the way. The us and europe are hitting chinese Electric Cars with hefty Import Taxes or tariffs to protect their own auto makers, making them more expensive. I think cheap chinese vehicles are a good thing for the environment. And i would tell you that china is transitioning from notjust being cheap but also being high quality and for us, we want to electrify our fleet and make sure it is affordable for our drivers to switch over to evs. The political considerat
Opponents have voiced concerns that vulnerable people could be coerced into ending their lives. Our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. The noes to the left, 330. The last time mps voted on assisted dying was nearly ten years aGo they opposed changing the law. But a new set of mps will get a new vote in the coming months, after labours Kim Leadbeater came top in a ballot that gives backbench mps time in the commons to propose laws, and said she would put it forward. I also think there is a real sense within parliament that now is the time for this debate. As i say, its nearly ten years since there was last a debate in the chamber. So i think most people. You know, people are nervous, people know how serious this subject is, and i understand that i feel nervous about it but i also think its important enough that we show parliament at its best, actually, which is debating something that we know matters to a huge amount of people.

Point cut and i think it supports a 25 point cut next week. Did you see any potential policy shifts at the debate? they had a lot of political rhetoric but not a lot of policy information. We already know were both candidates stand on addressing inflation. We ran a number of scenarios through our models to gauge what the inflationary implications are for each of the candidate policies ranging from trade, immigration, taxes and generally form a president trump would be more inflationary than vice president harris because of the tariffs which are inflationary. On top of that stricter immigration leads to tighter labour markets and stronger nominal wage growth in the united states which by extension would raise inflation a little bit. Not a lot of new information last night, just that the political focuses bringing inflation down but the policies the next few years say otherwise. Markets have been volatile.

The two candidates have both attended ceremonies to remember the victims of the september 11 attacks on america, exchanging a handshake for the second time, rather than the barbs they traded earlier. The trump campaign are playing down the likelihood of a further debate, and mr trump has attacked the abc channel, which hosted the debate, and its moderators, claiming they were biased.

Quite a contrast, though, kamala harris striding across the stage last night to demand a handshake from a reluctant mr trump. It was contentious and ill tempered with both candidates in attack mode.
