What Moscow, Beijing and Delhi think of Biden v Trump rematch

When Americans choose their next president, the contest is always closely watched around the world.

There are countless ways US foreign policy - and the actions of the White House - has an impact on different parts of the globe. American influence abroad is sure to play a part in the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on Thursday.

But it's not just in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza that this election matters. Eight of the BBC's foreign correspondents explain why this election rematch is making waves where they are.

Imagine you’re Vladimir Putin. Who would you prefer in the White House? The man who’s called you “a killer” and pledged to stand by Ukraine? (that’s Joe Biden).

Or the candidate who has criticised US military assistance to Kyiv and said he’d encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to any Nato member country that doesn’t meet defence spending guidelines (a certain Donald Trump).
