Biden addresses age concerns at first post-debate speech
Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service
Speaking at a rally in the state of North Carolina, US president Joe Biden tells the audience: "I'm not a young man... I don't debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know, I know how to tell the truth". Mr Biden's comments come after his stumbling performance at 2024's first presidential TV debate against Donald Trump. The BBC's Nomia Iqbal discusses his most recent speech. Also in the programme: Voting has been extended in Iran's presidential election; how beeswax is helping Ukrainians preserve food amid war; and actor Russell Crowe tells us about his upcoming Glastonbury music festival performance.
