Episode description

The unemployment figures for the June quarter are in and show a rise to 4.6%, up from 4.4% in the last quarter and 3.6% at the same time last year. This is broadly in line with economists' and the Reserve Bank's expectations, so what does it mean for interest rates? Kamala Harris has picked a running mate with 'Midwestern Dad' energy. What do we know about Tim Walz? We take a look at the River Seine. Is the water making Olympic athletes sick? And still at the Olympics, Imogen Wells meets a self-described 'superfan' who is at her seventh games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
