With less than 12 months to go until the US presidential election, five Republican candidates took to the stage to promote their candidacy.

The frontrunner for the selection, former President Donald Trump, missed the debate, instead attending a rally in Miami.

Sam Fenwick hears the latest from the debate, and discusses other business stories from around the world with Steven Bertoni, Senior Editor with Forbes in New York, and Rachel Pupazzoni, Business Reporter with ABC news in Perth, Australia.
