A number of prominent Democrats are due to speak on day three of the gathering. Tim Walz is expected to deliver the keynote address as he officially accepts the vice presidential nomination. We speak to Congresswoman Dina Titus.

Also in the programme: The Palestinian movement Fatah has accused Israel of trying to start a regional war, after it killed a senior official from the group; and we remember the life of pioneering Irish feminist and journalist Nell McCafferty and her decades of activism.
